I like how you started this out. I could feel the character slowly come into focus by how you pointed out what he does. Athough I think the Robin Hood metaphor is misplaced. You didn't give any indication before you used it that he stold from the rich and gave to the poor.
I really, really like your use of metaphors otherwise, "gutter glitter", "clothes resembled Swiss cheese ", "shoes crumbled a little more with every step", etc.
The ending fell flat. I don't believe it for a second. This big guy caving into doing time. Yeah, right. And, a guy calling that has his direct number telling him to give in? I can't see a guy having his direct number asking him this. I could see a guy saying, let's meet for a plan to fight this thing Scarface style.
I'd give these guys an attitude adjustment. Toughen there asses up a bit, gangster style.
