He was never good at this sort of thing. Sure he was familiar with the language but when it came to putting it all together or tying up the loose ends, well that's when everything fell apart. Like a mark put on the send, he felt like he lost so much but still had that sliver of hope that he could win it all back. Gats, geetus, and gun molls. All the pieces were there. The 'Crew' with all it's members. The 'Abner' his motivation was easy to figure out.. And the 'Single-o' who could have been around just to chase the lace. This puzzle was too complex to figure out in the limited time he had.He listed the players:The 'Crew';The Roper – The guy who finds the mark and tries to steer him towards the 'Mechanic'. This guy is also known as a 'Steerer'.The Mechanic – Or 'Top Con', The Mechanic is the one who actually does the con. He’s the one whom the mark is playing against. It doesn’t have to be just one person, but for the sake of efficiency it usually is. Sometimes it’s the 'Shill' who gets mistaken for another Mechanic. The Shill – This is the person who makes winning look so easy. Of course this is all an act because it is the mechanic who is letting the Shill win. The Shill is important because he is the one who gets the mark or marks to play along. The 'Stick' and the Shill are like the one two punch of the con. The Stick – This guy plays the straight man. If the Mark comes on to strong he is there to side with the Mechanic. His role works best in conjunction with the 'Chiller'The Chiller – Is the guy who tries to sort out the Mark. When things go hinky, it is the Chillers job to calm things down. His role is protection, just like the 'Wall Man'.The Wall Man – He is the eyes of the Crew. He scouts for cops and potential Marks. Others that play the Game;The Abner – This is the Mark. The cat with the dough. A chump.The Single-o – Solitary con man. A guy who works without a Crew.Just after he listed the players he heard the 'Bing, Bong' of his subway stop. The commute home went faster then he had expected. No worries though, today’s crossword puzzle can wait, and with that he exited the train with nothing more on his mind then the answer to 17 down.
