Titles Makes You Touchable

I always hated it when they called us The Untouchables. It wasn’t fair to us or our families. We were guys doing a dangerous job, and putting that label on it only may Al and his boys come after us harder. We lost good men because someone gave us a “title”.

Before we had a name, we didn’t exist. We were vespers, able to operate without anyone knowing much about us. Without the name, we truly were untouchable. With it, we were targets and very touchable.
