Jimmy Novak (1959)

Nobody batted an eye when Rowena MacLeod took back her maiden name after her husband’s passing. So what if the head of Chicago’s Irish mafia would now be a (very) young woman sporting a Scottish surname? Suspecting she had been the one to order the hit had been enough for her husband’s pack to fall in line without so much of a question.

But not everyone knew to bite their tongue. Had he fully realized how ferocious Rowena really was, Jimmy Novak would have kept quiet about his opinion on the matter. But he didn’t and the clan’s accountant was soon summoned for a semi-private meeting with the new boss.

“Mister Novak, please sit,” the red-headed alpha said, her tone sickly sweet. “As you know, with my dear husband’s passing, I am now the head of this wee organization.”

“So I’ve heard,” the omega replied, guessing her amiable demeanor to be all but sincere.

“Marvelous. Now, what you may not know is what I intend to do with it all. Times are changing, James. And with that, new job opportunities are bound to arise.” She leaned forward, holding her fingers up in a steeple. “Tell me now, how do you like the work you do for me?”

“Your husband has always been good to me. The best boss I’ve ever had, actually. And the work’s fine, it’s… you know, it’s accounting. I just can’t tell yet if I’m gonna like working for you.”

Even though he had meant every word, Jimmy immediately regretted his answer, cursing himself for once more speaking without thinking. He knew he had been right to worry when he saw the arrogant glint in the woman’s eyes. He gulped, scared of what could come next.

“You are honest, James. I imagine I should be appreciating that, but I kind of don’t. You know what I mean?”

This time, Jimmy cleared his throat and just gave her a short nod. Yeah, he was in trouble.
