Charlie "El Jefe"
By kiki
When the late Charlie "El Jefe" was around 77 years old, he stopped going to the local beer dives because he said it looked terrible for El Jefe of the La Puente Dog Mafia to be seen drinking at seedy joints. So since La Puente didn't have classy joints, he sipped at his casa with some of his dog mafia soldados.
Some years back, he was on the lam until he got busted when the Dog Patrol spotted him walking down the avenue; he was looking at doing some hard time, but I bailed him out, and Tom "The Mouthpiece" worked out a deal for him, one that he couldn't refuse...Before the Mouthpiece worked out the deal, Connie and I bought El Jefe some cigarettes so he could use them for money in the Big House. But since he wasn't going to do any jail time, his soldados smoked the cigarettes during their beer-drinking sessions. El Jefe only smoked cigars.
His soldados from Puente would come and visit the Jefe, and they would kiss his ring and ask for a favor; most of the time, he would say "simon que si," but now and then, he would say chale ese "fuhgeddaboudit!!".
El Jefe passed a few years ago, and his funeral was fitting for his status as El Jefe of the La Puente Dog Mafia.
