It has recently been reported that several lower ranking mobsters from multiple families have been murdered by an unknown assailant. It is thought amongst the Underworld that this could possibly be an attempt by a usurper to turn the members of the High Council on each other, but this theory, however likely, is yet to be confirmed. It’s believed that a mobster who goes by the street name of Firefly was behind these recent attacks that killed mobsters from the Corleone, Barzini and Gambino families. Firefly was later found murdered in Nevada, the old stomping grounds of the Vegas Crime Family. In a suspicious turn of events, Johnny Vegas was last seen hanging around at a local Mad Angels Family hangout in Nevada around the time of these murders. All of the murdered mobsters’ bodies were discovered in various parts of the state of Nevada, and even after Firefly was killed, yet another mobster, DarkAngel of the Barzini Family, turned up dead in Nevada as well. It has been speculated that Johnny Vegas might be the actual perpetrator of these murders, but there seems to be no solid proof at the moment. Could Johnny be silently attempting to make a move against his former enemies in the High Council? One would have to guess no, considering his current Boss, Benny Noodles, would not stand by and let such a thing happen.
In other news, the recently elected Governor of Florida, TonyOneGun, was murdered while giving his inauguration speech in Tallahassee. We’ve received a press release from a representative of TonyOneGun’s family and the story is as follows:
It was early morning on November 21, 2014, and TonyOneGun woke up a little later than usual for such an important day. His security guards were already prepared waiting in the hallway just outside his hotel room waiting for the Governor elect to finish getting ready. Tony quickly hopped in the shower, dried off and began to get dressed for his inauguration. As he was putting on his suit in tie, he received several congratulatory calls from prominent businessmen from all over the country. Some of these businessmen have alleged ties to organized crime, as was mentioned in the vicious campaign against TonyOneGun, but none of the allegations of his involvement in organized crime were substantiated. After exchanging pleasantries with those calling to congratulate him, he took one final moment to go over his speech with his Chief of Staff. “You made sure we included a part in the speech where I again deny any connections to the American Mafia right?” Tony asked his Chief of Staff. “Of course Mr. Governor, we made it abundantly clear,” his Chief of Staff replied. Tony nodded in approval and through his suit jacket on and began to make his way to the door as he looked over his speech as well as glanced at his itinerary for the day. As he opened the door and stepped through, his security immediately surrounded him in a circular formation and they began to make their way to the motorcade. They had made it about 20feet from the hotel room when they again heard the phone ring. “Damn it!” Tony said, “Can someone go get that, you never know who it could be.” One of his aids ran back towards the hotel room to answer the phone.
Tony continued down the hallway, got on the freight elevator, which had been previously cleared by his security team, arrived in the basement and began to walk towards his awaiting limo. Tony and his staff got in the limo and just before the security guard could close the door, the aid who had answered the phone came running to the limo door in a panic. “Sir! Wait!!” the aid screamed with a clear sense of fright in his voice. “What is it?” Tony replied nonchalantly. “There has been a threat made on your life, sir.” the aid replied. “We don’t know who it is, but when I answered the phone the person just said ‘one hour..no more governor’ and then hung up the phone.” Tony’s inaugural speech was scheduled for exactly one hour from now. The security team immediately went into overdrive, calling ahead to the team on the scene of the inauguration to let them know of the threat. “Well this is my inauguration guys, I can’t just skip it or reschedule it.” Tony said as his Chief of Staff nodded in agreement. “Let’s just go and hopefully you guys are as good as advertised.” Tony said to his head of security. The aid then made his way to one of the cars towards the rear of the motorcade and they all began the 10mile drive to the State Capitol building.
When the motorcade pulled up at the Florida State Capitol building, the crowd erupted. There were at least 2-3 times as many people as had been expected to turn out for this event, and this made Tony’s security team nervous. Tony, being a typical politician, didn’t care to listen to his security team’s concerns and immediately popped out of the limo and began waving to his supporters with a big smile on his face. The speech was to take place on the steps of the State Capitol building, and a path had been cleared for the Governor elect to make his way to the steps. Up on the steps sat the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, Tony’s Lieutenant Governor, the outgoing Governor, Tony’s family and various members of Tony’s newly elected Gubernatorial cabinet. Several security guards surrounded Tony as he slowly made his way towards the steps of the State Capitol, each guard carefully peering through the crowd looking for the slightest suspicious behavior. The amount of people, however, was overwhelming. It was unknown how many were actually in attendance but it was indeed many more than the expected 300,000.
Tony finally made it to the steps of the State Capitol building, and the inauguration ceremony began. His security team fanned out across the front of the steps, which had been transformed into a makeshift stage for the event. Tony sat down and listened as the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court said a few kind words about him, and then proudly stood up as the Chief Justice summoned him to the podium. “Repeat after me,” the Chief Justice said. “I, TonyOneGun, do faithfully swear to execute the office of the Governor of Florida and uphold the laws and trust, that was placed in me by the great citizens of this state, so help me God.” Tony repeated these words verbatim and the Chief Justice then put his hand out and said “Congratulations Mr. Governor.” Tony shook the Chief Justice’s hand and the crowd let out a giant roar of approval. Tony was now officially the Governor of Florida.
Tony stood at the podium for a few minutes waving at the adoring crowd, smiling wide and very proud of his accomplishment. After a few minutes he began to put his hands up in a gesture to silence the crowd. The crowd slowly began to quiet down and Tony began to speak, “Thank you! Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen! It is my honor, to stand before you as your newly elected Governor!” The crowd again erupted into a roar after hearing these words. Tony scanned the crowd of smiling faces and was soaking in the moment when as he looked towards the front of the crowd he noticed one man who was not smiling. He didn’t remember meeting this man before, but the man definitely had a familiar look. Tony’s smile dimmed slightly as he continued looking into the eyes of this menacing man. The crowd still roaring in approval, Tony looked away from the man and decided to focus on the people that were smiling than worry about a single man in the front of the crowd.
As Tony looked down at his speech, and scanned the first few lines, a blood curdling scream rang out from the crowd. Tony looked up in time to see the man that he had been analyzing just moments ago, now had a Glock 30 .45 caliber gun pointed directly at him. This would be the last thing Tony would see. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Four shots rang out and the crowd began to scatter. Three shots hit Tony directly in the center of his chest and the fourth went through his left eye and came clear out the back of his head. Tony crumbled to the floor, dead, before his security guards could even lift a finger. The man who fired the shots took advantage of the large crowd scattering and was able to blend in and get away from the front of the stage. He had dropped his gun after he fired the shots, and was able to lose the security guards, except for one. The head of security had locked on to the man, and would not let him out of his sight. He followed the man through the crowd, which was now more like a mob, and stayed right on his trail.
The assassin finally cleared the crowd and began walking at more of a normal pace. His getaway car was parked around the corner and he slowly made his way in that direction. The driver waiting in the get away car was a small time mobster who had been looking to make a name for himself, by the name of Don Larrooh. The head of security followed the assassin to the waiting getaway car and radioed in his location to his team and drew his side arm. Don Larrooh, who was not the brightest of mobsters, had fallen asleep at the wheel of the getaway car. The assassin, still not realizing he was being tailed, made it to the passenger side of the car and knocked on the window. The startled Don Larrooh woke up from his nap, and looked over at the passenger window where he saw his hired assassin standing. He unlocked the doors and the assassin got in the car. “Did you get him?” Larrooh asked. “Of course I got him.” the assassin replied. Just then an arm reach forward from the back seat with a wad of cash and threw it on the assassin’s lap. The man in the back seat was obviously wearing a disguise, and after he paid the assassin he quickly exited the car and disappeared into the shadows. Confused, the assassin looked at Don Larrooh and asked, “Who was that?” Larrooh replied, “That was my employer, some say he’s Chapo “Bane” Guzman, but I really am not sure who he is.” Just as Larrooh finished his sentenced the head of security appeared directly in front of the car with his gun drawn. “Get out of the f**kin car with your hands in the air, NOW!!” he yelled. “O sh*t!!” Larrooh yelled, “you didn’t know you were being followed???” he said to the assassin. Larrooh then quickly tried to put the car into drive and get away, and take out the security guard in the process. The head of security noticing this immediately opened fire on the two men. He emptied his 12 round clip into the car, each man was hit 6 times, all 6 shots hitting the men in the chest. The head of security was careful not to go for a head shot as he wanted to be able to identify the men’s faces later on. It had been about 45 minutes since the new Governor of Florida, TonyOneGun, had been assassinated and now his assassins lay dead as well.
The press released ended at this point, so it is unknown at this time who the third man involved in the assassination was. Since the press release was made public, this reporter has learned that TonyOneGun not only had ties to the Mafia, but was friends with some of it’s heaviest hitters. Some members of the American Mafia believe the third man was Chapo “Bane” Guzman, while others in the Underworld disagree. It is rumored that a heated argument occurred between members of the High Council when they were discussing who the possible mastermind behind the assassination could be. It is rumored that a possible rift in the High Council might be forming due to this assassination of a public figure, but again, this is just a rumor. It is currently believed the High Council is running as normal without any issues, and that it should continue to for some time.
Our last bit of news is regarding two former Kingpins; one, a self-proclaimed one, the other a well respected old timer. There have been numerous reports that former self-proclaimed “Kingpin” Frankie-Calabrese has turned up in Colorado. None of these reports have been confirmed, however if this is true Frankie’s name should be appearing in the obituaries within the next few days. Stay tuned to find out! As for the other Kingpin, one who actually held the title with the blessings of the underworld, Benny Noodles is reportedly once again retiring from the American Mafia. As of this moment, it is unclear if these reports are based on fact or just another rumor floating around the Underworld to throw off enemies, but it does appear that Benny Noodles will once again hang up his guns and retire from the American Mafia. We will stay on top of this story and will report about it as soon as we hear from our underworld contacts. Until next time ladies n gentlemen, keep your pockets full and your heads on a swivel…you can never be too cautious!
