“What the hell you looking at mate? Have we ever met before? You started this! ” An outrageous yell from the liquor store passed all the way across the street.

He is Tuco!” Jimmy has heard the name before, He never liked Tuco. Tuco is in charge of all the tabacco and chocolate made products. Tuco is a man with an enormous amount of money and power, he has gained power, money,
