Atlanta Assassin: Don Ezio Murdered
By Morrissey
The 27th of November saw the end of a mighty reign in the death of the Las Vegas king pin, Don Ezio. It is reported that Don Ezio and his Las Vegas Boss, Saul Battaglia, were in Atlanta on business when the celebrated Don took a turn for the worse. He was immediately admitted to the Atlanta hospital in for treatment.
Don Ezio was shot dead in his hospital bed, by a single bullet to the head, later that evening. Upon Don Ezio’s death Saul Battaglia was immediately proclaimed Consigliere, and head of the La Voce Silenziosa crime network, estimated to be worth million’s of dollars each month in revenue.
Atlanta Police Chief Joe Costello, said: “We have several leads, several causes of action, this is not thought to be gang related. A statement will follow shortly.”
Las Vegas Erupts: Thanksgiving Day Massacre
By Jennifer Paine
Thanksgiving day brought the times of peace to an end. With the fall of Don Ezio came the end of ‘The Commission’ set up by Warwick Hunt and several leaders, many months ago. Violence was soon to erupt throughout the nation.
Consigliere, Saul Battaglia awoke to full on war on his very own streets. Detroit Boss, Big Black, shot Saul dead before a full troop call could be made, leaving Las Vegas open to a full scale war as the family broke into smaller factions.
Detroit was relentless in its attack, taking out several members of the Las Vegas crime family led by Boss Layer Cake, after Saul Battaglia’s death. Layer Cake sort refuge in Chicago along with fellow crime Boss Temperance, as Las Vegas became a war zone.
Layer Cake was soon under fire as Detroit Capo Lost For Words, and Capo Apple, took the fight to him. Chicago soon became the scene for fireworks as Layer Cake fell to Lost For Words gun. It is unclear exactly why Almeida’s crime family, Famiglia D'onoro, took up arms against The Black Bottom Crew, but they soon fired upon Detroit Capo’s Apple and Lost For Words.
Capo Apple returned fire against Boss Almeida, as the Chicago nightscape became the latest city to turn into a war zone. Several bodyguards fell at the scene as a near fatally wounded Boss Almeida, headed to Dallas for safety. Upon his arrival in Dallas Las Vegas Made Man Gino, who had heard word that the Boss was heading his way, greeted him with another near fatal shot. Gino was soon gunned down as Almeida made his final stand. Las Vegas Earner, Ernesto Taridelli is said to have backed Gino up, finishing Almeida with a fatal gunshot wound to the neck.
Las Vegas family, La Voce Silenziosa was soon in the hands of long term Capo Puck, who also took to Chicago for refuge. Once again Chicago proved no safety haven, as an unknown gunman took down Capo Puck. Capo Johnnie Walker was soon to follow Puck, as he died in Dallas only hours later.
The war continues with loses on both sides leaving this reporter wondering if we will see and end to the violence soon, and just what the reasoning behind it is.
Atlanta Gunfight: Violence In La Voce Silenziosa
By Paul Heaton
Gunshots lit the night sky in Atlanta as two expert assassins from Las Vegas, Boss Rick Deckard and Capo Carl Fogarty, went head to head in dramatic, if not a confusing, battle to the death.
The sequence of events that led up to the violence began when Las Vegas Earner, Old Timer, attempted to shank one of his own family members in jail, over an alleged drug deal gone wrong. This led to Made Man Canine being sent to the scene to clean up the mess. A mess it soon became.
Canine succeeded in killing his target but was seen in the act and the finger was immediately pointed. Being a close friend of Old Timer, upon receiving word of his friend’s death, Carl Fogarty caught the train to Atlanta to deal with the situation.
Capo Carl Fogarty is led to have believed Canine had gone rogue from the family, as Don Ezio could not be reached for comment. Fogarty arrived on a wet and misty night in Atlanta, with one thing in mind. A fight soon ensued between the two family members. Carl Fogarty over powered Canine as gunshots rang out in the mist. Canine’s death was not to go unnoticed as Las Vegas Boss and hit squad leader Rick Deckard, caught the next train after to Atlanta to take care of the situation.
With a mass amount of bodyguards in tow, Deckard stepped from the train lights and out into the Atlanta darkness. It is reported that Fogarty had managed to make contact with Don Ezio and discovered that Canine had been authorised to kill Old Timer while Deckard was on his way. It is unclear if personal business was to blame but Deckard and Fogarty were soon at arms with each other.
As both men met under darkness in the streets of Atlanta, the two outfits squared up to each other. Gunshots were traded as the mist and gun smoke merged into one. Bodyguards began to fall as the two crack shot gunmen went to business. As the final gunshots rang out, thirteen bodyguards lay dead as both Rick Deckard and Carl Fogarty traded fatal gunshots. Don Ezio was unavailable for comment.
MORRISSEY’S AFTERTHOUGHT
The death of Don Ezio has sent a ripple throughout the nation with many smaller factions fighting it out for control. Detroit and its leaders have the nation in their hands, as they seem to have more than enough power to deal with all the resistance. I seriously wonder why Don Ezio wanted to die, was it the pressure placed upon his shoulders? Did the doubters finally get to him, or was it his own doubt that pushed him over the edge? Whatever the problem was, he shall be remembered as a man who achieved many great things.
As the mist slowly clears, we as a nation will be able to see what remains and who. New crime families are expected to spring up throughout the land, as it becomes apparent that the Commission of old has been quashed.
Will peace be able to prosper or will Christmas be red rather than white?
More reports as and when we get them.
Give peace a chance,
