Armando Tires was a drug front for The Latin Kings in the Midwestern corn belt where I was raised, if not born. There may have literally been more than one Armando Tires, but lets just say Armando Tires for now.

My father, Attorney at Law, was on retainer for Armando Tires if and when the shit hit the fan. I never knew anything of the shit hitting, but surely believed it had and would again at some point or why pay him to hang around to begin with. Shit’s always about to hit the fan no matter how many Armando Tires there are or who Armando Tires keeps on call to deal with it when it does.
