When Brandon Heat was first taken into the Millennion group by Randy, Widge Burns was the person that had given Brandon a place to stay and work at, allowing the young man to stay at his office while Brandon’s friend Harry McDowell learned the business end of Millennion. Widge made his living by being a collector for the various bookmaking schemes Millennion ran. Originally, he had his best friend Gary do some of the enforcing of the debts that were made, but he had Brandon help Gary out.
