Copycats Come In All Forms

Roughly a week after The Child killings, a new face arrived in town to cause problems. His name was Ignazio The Wolf Lupo. Whether or not he was a member is a matter of debate, one thing is for certain however, just like the League this guy has a hatred for the Barzini family as well. In a matter of a day, this copycat managed to take out ten of the lowest ranking and inactive mobsters in the American Mafia. Some of them were associated with families, such as the Barzini Family and Black Hand Legion, but for the most part there were no considerable losses in muscle for any of the families due to this wannabe’s attempt at fame.

After a day’s worth of killing unaffiliated street corner hustlers and low ranking associates, Ignazio Lupo was quickly dispatched by Talulah Noodles. There was not much of a fight given and the report from the scene does not contain anything too exciting. The only info that was discovered after Lupo was killed was that he had soiled himself before being killed by Mrs. Noodles. It appears nowadays, even for those that are well trained at doing it, killing sprees cannot and will not last. The Child was stopped in a matter of hours. Abraham was stopped before he could even get started. The longest spree was Ignazio, and it was only because no one even knew he was trying to cause any issues as they’d never heard of any of the people he’d killed.

2015 has already had some highs and some lows but with all the key elements still in place, it appears the American Mafia will continue on an upward trend. Will the High Council still be in charge come 2016? Have cracks started to form in the foundation of the High Council? Will the attacks on the families continue? What really is the reason behind so many people’s hatred of Barzini?

These are all questions this reporter cannot answer. For now you’ll have to stay tuned to find out. Until next time folks, keep your heads low and your necks on a swivel…stay safe out there.

 

Link To The Past – Part 3

 

Two days after the massacre of the High Council families, a couple of copycats came out of the woodwork in attempts to continue stirring up problems for the High Council. The first one was known by the name Abraham Lincoln, who has since been discovered to be the next of kin of the disgraced mobster Link. Apparently, Link had disrespected his entire former empire publicly and then got upset when he those that used to be in that empire with him refused to talk to him. Link was eventually killed for his disrespect and it appeared Abraham had come back to avenge Link.

It originally began when Abraham latched on as an associate of the Barzini Syndicate, which is lead by Gunnz a former family member of Link’s. It appears the plan from the start was to cause problems for Gunnz and his entire empire as a whole. Abraham would eventually sever ties with his Barzini contacts, unbeknownst to them, and would then try to set himself up with the Camonte organization through Camonte Empire Boss Scarface. Gunnz placed a hit on Abraham the moment it was reported he was missing. The first thought that usually goes through a mobster’s head when a fellow wiseguy stops showing up is that they likely turned informer or have done something they don’t want their superiors to find out about. A week had gone by since the hit was placed on Abraham and several attempts were made to contact him but none were successful. Then suddenly a rumor began circulating in the underworld that Abraham had been dropped from his family and was now being targeted for it. Since the man in question was an associate and had officially been linked to a family normal protocol is that no other family can nor should intervene. Abraham tested the boundaries of this rule by running to Camonte Empire Boss Scarface to try to get his help to keep him alive. Scarface, a respected member of the High Council, said he would find out what was going on but made no guarantees. He then contacted Gunnz, who unnecessarily explained the situation to Scarface who then claimed that Gunnz had no right to kill Abraham. At this point it was unknown that Abraham was a relative of Link’s. A major sit-down was held between the Bosses of the High Council Empires in which LeftyTwoGunz and Scarface seemingly were down each other’s throats. It appears Lefty’s argument was that Abraham knowingly broke a rule, was an associate in the Barzini Empire and therefore could be killed for his infraction by the Barzini Empire without any outside interference. The rest of the Council agreed, but Scarface seemed intent on making this situation into a bigger issue. Before long most of the Council Bosses were pushing for a quick resolution to the issue. Suddenly Angel spoke up, “LMAO You know Abraham is part of the Link family right guys?” To which Gunnz exploded. Gunnz and Link were supposed to have recently buried the hatchet however it seems Link had other plans in mind and was still looking to screw over his old ally. Scarface immediately apologized to the Barzini Empire and explained he was only looking to protect the values of the High Council. Soon enough there was a hit team dispatched to California to find Abraham.

News began to spread about the Abraham situation, and Abraham was trying to hide out in California hoping no one would find him. From his hideout he would spend the whole day peering out his second story window to the street waiting for the car containing his killers to pull up. When he woke up one morning he looked out his window and recognized a Barzini associate by the name of Big-T, who was in the area doing his collections. Abraham believing that Big T was a member of Gunnz’s syndicate as well as possibly there to kill him immediately ran downstairs, snuck up behind Big-T and shot him in the back of the head. Big-T was killed instantly and Abraham turned around and tried to quickly make it back to his hideout. He had not expected that Gunnz had accompanied Big-T on his rounds and was waiting for him with, gun in hand, at the entrance to his hideout. Before Abraham could say anything, Gunnz shot him in the face, spit on his lifeless body and then walked away. It seemed the Abraham Problem had been solved.

 

Passing The Torch
With the New Year having come, The Child being taken care of and a general lasting prosperity in the American Mafia, Ricardo Barzini decided it was his time to step down and pass on the responsibilities of Kingpin. There was a smooth transition of power, and Angel Corleone quickly became comfortable in the big chair as the American Mafia’s new Kingpin. Surprisingly this is the first time Angel has been Kingpin, but it appears those on the High Council think highly enough of him to afford him the title. Hopefully Angel’s term as Kingpin can be just as peaceful and prosperous as Ric’s and the American Mafia can continue its upward trend.

 

The Child Shows His Face Again – Part 2

 

It was Saturday, January 3rd, and it was an unusually warm day in North Dakota. Eyshan, a Branch Boss from the Corleone Empire, was in Bismarck, North Dakota finalizing a deal with a chain of local slaughterhouses in which the Corleone Empire was planning to siphon funds into their pockets while simultaneously stealing truckloads of meat and selling the products at 100% profit all over Corleone territory. After the deal was finished, Eyshan shook hands with the owner of the slaughterhouse chains and made her way towards her car in the parking lot. She picked up her cell phone to dial Angel Corleone, her Boss, to let him know the deal had gone through and that she was on the way back to California where the base of her operations were. As she began to tell Angel about the events of her meeting, she noticed a car driving quickly down the aisle to her right and followed it with her eyes as it sped around the median and was now headed directly at her in the aisle she was walking in. She suddenly stopped speaking when she saw a familiar face behind the wheel of the car. “The Child is back…” Eyshan said to Angel mere seconds before The Child fired two shots that pierced her skull killing her instantly. She crumpled to the floor as the bullets entered her head and The Child screeched off in his car to quickly get away from the scene. On the phone, Angel Corleone heard the entire confrontation go down and quickly alerted the rest of the Empires that The Child was back on the loose.

The Empires had put together search squads to go call their informants and, if needed, go state to state until they found The Child. Meanwhile in Vermont, The Child was already en route to his next two targets. A Barzini Branch Boss named Mr. Texas and a Barzini Family soldier, Jimmy Two Times. The two men were in Connecticut making their rounds picking up the money they received from various businesses for “protection.” They had just finished a meal at Vito’s Italian Restaurant in Hartford as the men began walking up the street to their next collection stop. As they were walking along the street they noticed an old rusted car slowly creep past them in the opposite direction they were going. Being hardened criminals both men were suspicious of the car but figured no one would have the nerve to attack them on their own turf. Next thing they knew they heard the sounds of bullets whizzing past their heads and hitting the walls of the businesses they were walking in front of. Jimmy tried to duck down behind a parked car but a bullet from The Child’s machine gun caught Jimmy in the throat, preventing him from yelling out to Tex for help, and Jimmy choked to death on his own blood on the side of the road. Mr. Texas was able to make it a few hundred yards without taking any damage until he stumbled as he looked back to see where the shots were coming from. This momentary movement gave The Child enough time to pump 14 shots into Mr. Texas who fell down with a loud thud. The Child then sped away believing he killed both men. Mr. Texas however was rushed to the nearby Trauma Center where he had been declared clinically dead for a period of 30seconds before he was brought back to life by the surgical team at the Trauma Center. Tex had taken 4 shots to his upper back, 3 shots to his right leg and right buttocks, 6 shots into his left leg and left arm and one shot that hit him in the head but miraculously wasn’t able to make it through Tex’s skull.

A few hours later, around 11pm local time in Anchorage, Alaska, a mid level meeting was taking place between the Camonte and Barzini Families about a drug distribution route that went through Canada into Alaska on its way to New York. In attendance at the meeting representing Camonte was Nelson “Nelson88” Camonte. The Barzini delegation included reputed Barzini Pennsylvania Chapter Boss Belgian, Xeidafome and G3M3NI “Gemini” SSMG. The four mobsters were gathered at a table outside of an Italian coffee shop that Nelson used as his Alaska headquarters. The plan the four men were hatching would open Alaska up as a major route for the importation of Heroin into the United States. They were sitting around laughing and joking, as they planned the logistics of the new operation, when a car came screeching around the corner with The Child at the wheel. The Child pulled out a mac-10 sub-machine gun sprayed bullets in the direction of the table the four men were sitting at. By the time the four men heard the gunshots, it was already too late. Nelson took the first few bullets, 2 entering the back of his head and at least four more into his torso, Nelson’s head slumped forward and fell onto the table as the blood poured from the holes in his body. Xeidafome, who was sitting directly across from Nelson, was struck by several of the bullets that tore all the way through Nelson’s body. A single bullet went through Xeidafome’s eye and out of the back of his head and he died sitting straight up in his chair, blood spilling from his eye socket. Belgian and Gemini both tried to drop to the floor when they heard the gunfire start, but both were hit multiple times in the back. The bullets had pierced both of the men’s chest, piercing their lungs in the process, and the two mobsters effectively suffocated while laying face down on the pavement in front of the coffee shop. After entering the clip into the four mobsters, The Child quickly sped away into the night on to his next victim.

It was very late at night, or early in the morning depending how you see it, and the wind was whipping up a serious wind-chill on the streets of Chicago. Despite the weather, business is business and in the Mafia there is no such thing as an off day. In a secluded apartment on the South Side of Chicago a meeting was taking place between mobsters from various families. The Scaletta, only known by his nickname is believed to belong to the Corleone Crime Family, Anarchy101 who is believed to have been a Branch Family Boss in the Camonte Empire and Salvatore Mancini a reputed Mad Angels Capo were having a meeting to divide up control of the different parts of Chicago. With the recent retirement of reputed Fratesi Boss Vindog, Illinois had become open territory, at least for the time being. The three mobsters took the opportunity to fatten their pockets by increasing their area of influence in the strategically important city of Chicago. When the men came to an agreement about the division of territory, they did a quick toast and all three men then prepared to leave the apartment to head back to their respective hotels. Scaletta was the first to walk out the door, followed by Anarchy and Salvatore Mancini turned around to lock the door to the apartment as the two men got out ahead of him a little bit. Scaletta and Anarchy decided not to wait for Salvatore and took the elevator down together and made their way out the front entrance of the building. As they walked side by side, Scaletta heard something that made his heart skip beat. He could swear he heard what he thought was a bullet ricochet off the pavement next to him. “You hear that?” Scaletta asked Anarchy. “Hear what?” Anarchy replied. As soon as Anarchy got the words out of his mouth, the front of his head exploded spraying blood all over the face and chest of Scaletta. Scaletta immediately got down to the ground and began looking up knowing he had a sniper firing in his direction that was using a silencer. Sure enough, lying across the street on the ground with a silenced rifle was The Child. By this time Salvatore had made his way down to the streets as well and quickly got on the ground next to Scaletta. “What the hell is going on?” Salvatore asked Scaletta. “Check them windows up there, sniper just took out Anarchy.” Scaletta replied pointing at Anarchy’s lifeless body. Both men continued to scan the windows high up on the building, not realizing The Child was lying down on the street directly across from them just out of sight behind a car. As both men continued to scan high, The Child fired two shots hitting both men in the head and killing them instantly. Neither man heard or saw where the bullet had come from and The Child had just added three more bodies to his count. He quickly scurried away into the darkness.

A few hours later, in North Dakota, Immortal Technique, a reputed Mad Angels capo, and El Colombiano, a reputed Camonte soldier, were at the local Denny’s grabbing some late night food after a night of drinking and partying in Downtown Bismarck. They were extraordinarily rowdy and were disturbing the rest of the people in the restaurant with their outbursts of laughter and cussing. Occasionally, an argument would break out between the two that many in the restaurant thought would come to fisticuffs but each time something happened that would end up making both men laugh forgetting about their arguing. The two Mafioso were seated at a table by the window overlooking Main Street in Downtown Bismarck. To both of the men’s surprise, there were many people out walking the streets as all of the bars began to close. Some were headed to an afterhours club, others were headed to their cars and others were headed for food or the comforts of home. Both men were taking in the sight of a group of girls walking by and didn’t notice the figure that was walking towards them from a distance. It appeared The Child was poised to strike again. Just as the group of girls made it past their window, the two men turned to talk to each other about how hot each of the girls were, when suddenly they heard a tap on the window. They looked over to see The Child smiling and waving at them, gun in hand. Before they could react, The Child fired one shot into the face of each man killing them both instantly. The force from the bullet caused Colombiano to fall backwards out of the booth and onto the floor. Immortal was found lying on his side in the booth, after it appeared his head banged the table as his lifeless body fell towards the ground. In the commotion of all the people scattering in different directions, The Child was able to sneak away unnoticed. By now the High Council was in full alert mode and had everyone they had looking for The Child. Ricardo Barzini, Angel Corleone, Benny Noodles, GrimReaper, Real-Corleone, just about every major player in the American Mafia was searching for The Child looking to be the one to kill him.

Meanwhile in St. Louis, AntBo420, a reported Black Hand family member, Salvatore Massino, the alleged Boss of the Massino Crime Family and Drew “ReyRey” Rey reputed Boss of the Noodles Family, were discussing the contract on a key construction project that was to take place in Downtown St. Louis. Through their penetration of the unions, the three mobsters could prevent jobs from starting by having workers strike, losing the companies involved millions of dollars. The companies and the three Mafioso were just tweaking the terms of the agreement to make sure that the Mafia got its share and then they were all going to grab a very late dinner at the local Gentlemen’s Club. After finally coming to an agreement on the terms of the deal the three mobsters left and had agreed to meet the construction and union bosses at the nearby Gentlemen’s Club known as Wiggle’s. The three mobsters hopped into Drew’s Bentley and were on their way to the club. Drew was driving, Salvatore was in the front passenger seat and AntBo sat in the back, allowing the two higher ups the front seats. As they were driving, the topic of armored cars came up. Each man was explaining exactly what they would put on their cars if they had the money to afford to do so. Drew then said, “You know actually, I’m getting this thing armored up tomorrow and it ain’t only gonna be defensive protection.” Both Salvatore and AntBo laughed at Drew’s statement and they continued to small talk together about the different features Drew was going to get. As they pulled up to the red light, there was a car already stopped at the light that almost looked like it had been waiting for the men to pull up. The three men in the car, too distracted by their conversation ironically about car armor, didn’t notice The Child step out of the car next to them with an AK-47 in hand. The Child lifted the assault rifle and opened fire on the car carrying the three men. The bullets from the AK went through one side of the car, through the men and then came outside the other side of the car and then lodged themselves in a cement wall roughly 15 meters away from the car. By the time The Child jumped back in his car and drove away, over 60 shots had been sprayed into the car. The car was hit so many times that the roof actually caved in onto the men causing postmortem lacerations to the tops of the men’s heads. These lacerations, however, would most certainly not be the first wound you would notice on each of the men. Each man was hit so many times their bodies looked like Swiss cheese. It was rumored that each man had an extra 5pounds in their bodies from the weight of the bullets inside of them.

Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, Alhana, Brooklyn X (Ricardo Barzini’s wife) Lazarus (a Barzini Branch Boss) and Nicodemo Scarfo were still hanging late at Lazarus’s social club. They had all gotten in deep in a poker game and were trying to at least break even before heading home for the night. They were playing Texas Hold ‘Em and the Flop that was dealt this particular time was an 8 of clubs, an 8 of spades and an Ace of clubs. They checked around the table and the turn card was the Ace of Spades. So now the four cards facing up on the table were the two black 8’s and the black Aces, the dead man’s hand. “Wild Bill must be here,” Lazarus joked at the site of the cards on the table. As the rest of the people at the table began to laugh the door suddenly flew open. Startled by the nose of the door breaking open, all four mobsters grabbed towards their waste bands where they were holding their guns. The Child came running into the room with the Mac-10 and AK-47 he’d used on all his previous murders and sprayed the room with bullets from both weapons. The four mobsters at the table had no chance; they were unrecognizable once the smoke settled. By this point the Child was gone, but he left in his wake one of the most gruesome scenes even by underworld standards. It was now roughly 4am and The Child had decimated the ranks of the American Mafia, but he had a few more left before it would finally catch up to him.

By this time news of the murders had reach ever mobster in America. There were search teams looking in every state and the orders they’d received was to kill on sight. When word came back that the Kingpin’s wife had been murdered, it put an extra pep in everyone’s step and had them working even harder to find the child. It wouldn’t be long before Angel Corleone’s contacts would call him letting him know that The Child was spotted at the airport in Nevada. Angel immediately boarded his private jet was on his way to Nevada. Back in Las Vegas, Johnny Vegas, a Mad Angels capo, was hosting a small after hours party at his penthouse in the Venetian Hotel. In attendance were Diebaj, an associate with the Camonte Family and Johnny Ortiz, a soldier in the Barzini family. Johnny had just hung the phone up with room service, having just ordered another few bottles of champagne, and headed back towards his guests in the other room of his suite. There were six or seven girls with them in various states of undress and drugs were strewn out all over the room. The party atmosphere was quickly interrupted when they heard a banging coming from the door to the room. “Hotel security,” the voice said from the other side of the door. “Ah f*ck, hey just put a blanket over everything or something, lemme take care of this,” Johnny said to the others as he made his way to the door. As Johnny began to open the door he heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being cocked and tried with all his might to push the door back closed but to no avail. The Child kicked the door as hard as he could causing it to hit Johnny in the face and knocked him out cold. The girls in the room all let out a loud shriek and the two men stepped in front of them instinctively to shield them. Their guns were out of reach and the men knew what their fate was going to be. They watched helplessly as The Child pumped 2 shots from him shotgun into Johnny’s chest and face, causing his head to practically disintegrate. Then he lifted the shotgun at Diebaj, “Ladies I’d suggest you move away from these guys…for safety sake,” The Child said to the women as he pumped the shotgun. The women scurried to the other side of the room and The Child killed Diebaj with a straight shot to the chest then turned, pumped the shotgun again and literally blew Johnny’s head clean off. The site of the three mangled men had the girls in tears. There was eye liner running down all of their faces and the occasional “I don’t want to die,” could be heard. The Child then lifted his shotgun and fired the rest of his ammunition into the women. As he looked over the carnage he had caused he smiled to himself and started making his way to the door.

As he reached the door he stopped to look back at the room one more time and as he did he felt the cold steel of a .45 press up against the back of his head. “Well looks like it ends here pu**y,” a familiar voice said to The Child. “Angel…how’d you find me so quick?” He replied to what he now knew was Angel Corleone. “Well if you wanna find a rat just follow it’s sh*t,” Angel said as he lowered the gun to the base of The Child’s neck. Angel then said, “You know what, I’m gonna give you one last chance to give this sh*t up and lay down your arms.” The Child replied, “Just kill me already.” With that being said Angel fired one shot into the base of The Child’s neck causing him to crumple to the floor. Angel looked down to see him gasping for air as more and more blood filled his mouth, causing a gurgling sound. Angel smiled when he saw that The Child was dying a slow painful death. Angel then picked up his cell phone and called Ricardo Barzini. “Hey it’s done let everyone know they can stop looking.” Angel made his way to the roof and left in a helicopter that was waiting for him. As the helicopter disappeared into the darkness, Paramedics arrived at Johnny Vegas’s blood covered hotel room. A brief look around the room was all they needed before they began to turn around as they realized there was no chance anyone in the room survived. They pressed the button for the elevator and as the doors to the elevator opened they heard what sounded like a muffled cough coming from the hotel room. They quickly rushed back where they saw The Child lying on his back, grasping at his neck lying in a large pool of his own blood. They quickly loaded him on to the gurney and got him down to the waiting ambulance where they hooked him up to an IV and a bag of donor blood and made their way to the hospital. After a long exhaustive surgery the doctors were able to stop the bleeding, but it is unknown at this point if The Child did indeed die or has since been relocated to a facility outside of the country.

The Temper Tantrum Murders – Part 1

 

Back Story

The reasoning for the origins of their feuds are hotly debated from both sides, but it is a well known fact that the High Council and the group lead by the childish former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel are sworn enemies. This particular feud is most evident in the continuous attacks lobbed at the High Council Empires, in particular the Barzini and Corleone Crime Empires. Rumors are the conflict with the Child Leader and Barzini began just after self-proclaimed Kingpin Frankie-Calabrese was murdered several months ago.

It is common knowledge that the Child Leader was a mentor to Frankie Calabrese, which can explain much about why his short reign was marred with conflict and uprising, so it appears the Child was looking to avenge his “greatest” pupil’s death. As events began to unfold, it came to light that the actual reasoning for the Child’s assault on the Barzini Empire was his belief that Barzini Empire Boss LeftyTwoGunz had been the one to personally order the murder of Calabrese. The Child apparently felt betrayed by this decision, not because his pupil was murdered, but because Lefty did not approach him first to let him know what was to happen. Apparently the Child, who consistently claims he has no desires to be a part of the mainstream and prefers to stay in the “shadows” while staying as far away from leadership as possible, was cranky because he was not given the opportunity to “authorize” or “help” to kill Calabrese. The feud between the Child and Barzini continues to rage to this day, as can be seen by recent events.

The Child’s feud with the Corleone Empire, particularly GrimReaper and Real-Corleone is believed to have begun over a year ago due to a business deal gone bad. The most likely scenario is the Child double-crossed the Corleones and they both have been at each other’s throats ever since. The storied feud between Corleone and the Child has been a long and bloody one, with both sides suffering major losses, including the near mortal wounding of bosses on both sides. Corleone and Barzini seem to be the main targets of the Child and his group of cowards, but the other Empires in the High Council have been experiencing issues lately as well.

The High Council is made up of the top Empires in the American Mafia and can be best described as a strong alliance between those Empires that was created to promote growth, help maintain order and protect those who cannot protect themselves. The motto of the High Council is “A Hit On One is a Hit On All”, clearly signifying that an attack on any ONE Council Empire will result in retaliation from ALL of them. This mentality has lead to the more recent senseless attacks being stopped much quicker than in the past.
