More roads_diverged AU goodness! (And this time they're GANGSTERS! *sparkles*).
Seriously though, this one was so much fun to write. The Turks make excellent mobsters.
Title: Smooth Shuffle
Rating: PG
Warnings: violence and an OC narrator (although he's really not that bad once you get to know him)
Word count: 3202
Theme: gangsters
A/N: A little bit of 1920s slang - a speakeasy was an illegal, underground locale for partaking of a drink (or three) during the Prohibition. Everything other than that should be pretty easily understood.
Summary: 1927, Chicago. One of Big Man Maud's men goes out to dig up some dirt on the Shinra gang.
