As soon as Piper wrote the IOU, Head could take over the restaurant at any time. Piper’s restaurant was the most profitable on the street, a veritable golden goose.
Head’s interest was piqued by Aurora, Piper’s recently graduated daughter who had never appeared before serving people in the street bars. Taking Piper's financial distress into consideration, his current mission was not to collect cash but to secure more control over the restaurant by making her sign an IOU.
Eyeing Aurora with less than noble intentions, Head asked, "You called her 'Piper,' correct? That means you’re Piper’s daughter. Since your mother owes me a hundred grand, you should be the one to pay. Debts of the mother fall upon the daughter!"
Head extended his hand boldly towards Aurora. "Pay up! Hand over a hundred thousand dollars now, and I'll leave with my boys."
"Why should I give you anything? You’ve been extorting money from my family; you owe us! Otherwise, I’ll call the cops and have you arrested!"
Head laughed heartily at Aurora’s threat. "Little lady, do you have any idea who I am? I’m Head, I run The Roar, the biggest gang in this area. And do you know who’s behind The Roar? The number one family in Washington, the Perkins. The Roar answers to the Dragon Team, which is part of the Perkins Organization. When we collect protection money, it’s on behalf of the Perkins. Do you comprehend what that represents? Overwhelming power! Glory of the United States!"
