Help with passage below
He and the gang could numb the pain, escape to a fantasy world they created together. In that world, they were somebody's - operators with a hustle going on, feared and envied by people around them.
(This extract is taken from a book on drug addiction. It talks about how some youngsters used alcohol to escape their painful realities.)
I have two questions:
1. Why is it somebody's and not somebodies? (It is used in the plural, as far as I can tell. Somebody's is the possessive form, right?)
2. What does 'operators with a hustle going on' mean?
Thank you!
