SilentAssassin was 6 feet in a grave digging for what he hoped was a good find! He pries open the casket with a crowbar to find a half-decomposed body and a burlap sack. the stench or the bodies no longer bothering him.  Filthy and covered in the dirt, he opens the sack and counts out 15k large. "Jackpot! the biggest haul yet. this should do it!" He says to himself as he climbs out shovelling as much of the dirt back as possible.

He makes his way back to the Diamond Dog Headquarters. His destination? : the Godmother of Philadelphia and his family leader Quiet's office. The two burly bodyguards are on each side of the locked oak-carved door. "Doing some digging again S.A.?" the one on the left named Bruno asks. Panting SilentAssassin nods "yup ...this is the biggest one ever ..you know what  they say,  save the best for last so I did just that!"  Bruno nods and knocks on the carved door in a 2 knock pattern 3 times.

"Yes?" replies the sweet-sounding yet firm voice from the other side. Bruno opens the door "S.A. here to see you... has been..digging again.  ill get the broom!" He escorts SilentAssassin into Quiet's office and leaves to go get ready to sweep up the dirt.

S.A. sits down and plops the dirt-covered sack full of money on top of the large Walnut brown desk in front of her making dust and soil go all over. "15 thousand smackeroos! he says proudly with a soiled covered grin.

Godmother Quiet coughs a few times waving her hand and scowls at him "Jesus Christ S.A !"  *coughs again* " I just polished this desk! I appreciate your hard work and the money and all but..how many graves do you need to rob? I gave you opportunities for advancement in this family a few times so you didn't have to resort to digging dead bodies  and you said no. why do you do this?" She asks removing the dirt-covered sack and wiping off the desk a bit annoyed.

SilentAssasin smiles panting "That was number... 600! my biggest and very last grave i'm gonna rob I promise you right now" "I thank you for the opportunities you offered me before but I didn't feel that I should have just been given them. I wanted to earn it not only to prove myself to you and the Diamond Dogs but to myself as well that I will do what it takes no matter how hard work it is. I believe I am now ready to take on more and do more for you and the family."

Quiet goes into another room to put S.As's bag into the large safe and returns brushing herself off. "I'm very pleased to finally hear that! Congratulations you are officially made into the Diamond Dogs, now make some money in ways that you won't get filthy like robbing banks or picking pockets or even starting a hooker ring! 

SilentAssassin leaves the office a proud and happy man. Bruno glares back at S.A. shaking his head as he begins to sweep up the soil off the carpet from S.As's boots.

1 week later: The office of SilentAssassin Diamond Dogs HQ

SilentAssassin and Frank_Sinatra toast to S.As's advancement within his family. "I'm proud of ya and I'm sure your uncle is pleased too" *Frank says and glances upwards* 

S.A. smiles "yeah I'm sure he is. I'm going to fulfill his dream and run a family someday and Mr. Sinatra I want YOU with me when the day comes ." Frank beamed with pride " Your uncle brought me in off the streets because he saw something in me and taught me everything I know. id be honored to carry on  his legacy with you as your right hand like he was in the Railyard Crew!" They clinked their glasses and laughed dreaming of a great day that hopefully would come.

48 hours later:

SilentAssassin gets a bulging package with his name and the diamond dog's address on it delivered to him by one of his bodyguards, "Thank you, Rocco." S.A. replies as he pours himself a drink. 

S.A sits down turns on the radio and begins opening the package to reveal a large bag of cash amounting to $500k  and read a  handwritten letter addressed to him

Hey, Boss (yes I called you boss):

I just wanted to thank your uncle and yourself for having me in your family. You both have taught me things and experienced stuff that I never thought imaginable. I've eaten at the fanciest restaurants, had gorgeous ladies in my lap, and more money I could ever dream of owning. Your uncle gave me 100k to get me on my feet and didn't want me to pay back a single dime. well, I'm giving it back to you plus extra. 

It's time for me to say goodbye. I just can't do it anymore it's time for me to ...do it my way. Take care, kid" 

F.S "O'l Blue Eyes"

SilentAssassins heart pounded out of his chest "Frank? what in the ...."  suddenly a late-breaking bulletin comes on the radio.

"This is Jason Robertson from WBHQ with some BREAKING NEWS!! : Former world-famous singer Frank Sinatra took his own life just a couple of hours ago!  People in the lobby of the Liberty hotel where he was staying witnessed Sinatra in a drunken state and weeping as he headed into the lift to the top floor of the hotel building and moments later, they heard a loud gunshot coming from the hotel penthouse. Medical personnel arrived on the scene shortly after to confirm he had indeed shot himself to death as he was found lying in a pool of his blood with a pistol in his hand.

Sources and a couple of friends said the late Sinatra had drinking and gambling addiction problems and was heavily dependent on drugs. Over time he was able to amass a  fortune of a rumoured 300 million dollars which he lost in the  MR Lottery, games of chance like dice and blackjack, leaving the late Sinatra absolutely with nothing but the beloved gun that he decided to use, to end his life. "I did it my way"  was a phrase he was always known for saying and used in a famous song.

It appears that Fame and fortune ended up being the final curtain for Mr. Frank Sinatra. May he rest in peace. More details to follow as information comes in. this is Jason Robertson  Reporting"

SilentAssassin's heart leaps in his throat as he drops his glass of whiskey on the floor shattering glass and liquor everywhere. 

Jan 14, 10:45 AM New York City

"Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York" - New York New York Frank_Sinatra

"This is Jason Robertson reporting on the latest developments. The Governor of the state of New York has instated an emergency state lockdown and the military is in charge. Citizens are put on a curfew and businesses are to close early or close entirely until further notice. The streets appeared to be like a modern civil war with thugs mobsters and police shooting back and forth. People are advised to stay inside any place for safety. more to come.

In celebrity news in Philadelphia Frank Sinatra is being laid to rest. Thousands of people crowd outside the Freedom Church Center City paying their respects with photos, cards posters, flowers, and fedoras in memoriam. Hundreds of friends and family, including rumored members of a mafia gang to which some believe Mr. Sinatra belonged.  This reporter strongly believes besides beautiful church hymns they will also be playing some of his famous songs such as New York, New York, Strangers in the Night, That's Life, and of course his most famous song My Way"  "He will be buried at Christ Church Memorial Cemetary following the processions.  this is Jason Robertson, New York"

The reporter's words were actual as many members of Philadelphia's families were in attendance including members of The Dog Years, Undead Alliance, and the family that Frank belonged to The Diamond Dogs. Mostly everyone was there to pay their respects. those that did not had their reasons. Upon completion of the burial ceremony, Godmother Chairwoman Quiet got into the Chevrolet Fleetliner with LHM Mufasa on one side holding her arm and SilentAssassin on her right. it was a silent ride back to the HQ as each person were deep in their own  thoughts. When they arrived, Mufasa got out and held the door for Quiet to come out. She put her hand up "Thank you Mufasa but I need to talk to S.A. in private. please go inside we will be in shortly" Mufasa nods and closes the car door to head into DD HQ.

Quiet turned to S.A.  and speaks in a somber tone "You okay? He was adored here in Philly and I know he loved you the most." SilentAssassin looks back at GodMother Quiet and nods slightly "Yeah, im okay.  You know my uncle Killshot brought him from the streets and guided him along the way?  S.A grins "We were talking a few days ago or should I say dreaming about  me running my own family and he told me he would be honored to be my right-hand man like Killshot was to Mark in the Railyard Crew in South Side Chicago."

There's a knock on the car door, Quiet rolls down the window to reveal Gimp-Pimp, "For you." he says handing Quiet a piece of paper and leaves. Quiet opens the note reading it over and then looks over  at S.A  "It's from TheBeast in Chicago, He has been declared Godfather Chairman there and needs support. " Quiet grins "S.A.? How would you feel about going to South Side Chicago to carry on your uncle's legacy and run your own crew?"  

SilentAssassin looks up as if Frank_Sinatra's and his uncle Killshot deaths had something to do with making this dream come true

 He looks back with an excited and grateful smile "Godmother Quiet id be honoured"

Jayme Baxter was a private investigator with a reputation for solving the TOUGHEST CASES. So, when she received a call from the family of Frank_Sinatra, asking her to investigate his sudden and mysterious death, she didn't hesitate jump into action with solving the case.

As she began to dig deeper into the case, Jayme quickly learned that Frank's uncle, Killshot, had also met an untimely end under similar circumstances.  The authorities had ruled both deaths as ACCIDENTS, but the family wasn't so sure and Jayme felt the same; it was too CONVENIENT of an explanation; it benefitted only one person in any significant way.  There was definitly FOUL PLAY involved and someone was trying to take over the family's business.

As she began her investigation, Jayme encountered a number of SHADY characters, all with motives for wanting the two victims DEAD. However, the more she dug, the more the evidence pointed towards SilentAssassin, a NOTORIOUS figure in the underworld who had been making moves to expand his own criminal empire of late, as the killer.

The deeper Jayme delved into the case, the more she realized that SilentAssassin had a motive for wanting Frank and Killshot out of the picture.

However, the evidence against SilentAssassin was CIRCUMSTANTIAL and Jayme knew she needed to dig deeper if she was going to crack the case.  She followed every lead she got, interviewed every witness and pieced together the events leading up to the deaths of Frank and Killshot.

Finally, Jayme's hard work paid off when she uncovered a key piece of evidence: a witness, whose name shall be kept anonymous₁, who had seen SilentAssassin at the scene of Frank's death, mere moments before it happened.

Armed with this evidence, Jayme confronted SilentAssassin, He claimed to have no knowledge of the murders, but there was something about his demeanor that set Jayme's senses on edge. 

Determined to get to the truth, Jayme continued to question SilentAssassin, using her years of experience to finger and probe for any signs of guilt or deception. And soon enough, she found it.  SilentAssassin slipped up and made an incriminating statement that only the killer could have known.

She had DONE IT AGAIN, her sleuthing skills had EXPOSED the REAL criminal, a man people LOOKED UP TO...........

The Crown Prince had been exposed, what would JaymeBaxter, BDLOTSC do next?  Strip him of his CROWN?  Subject him to a PUBLIC FLOGGING?  Release a small flock of PIGEONS into his room as he slept?

Only time would tell.......

^₁ Tutte, SLAYER OF JOURNALISTS AND INNOCENT PEOPLE

Having seen a similar story told somewhere else, DanielDayBaxter, a METHOD ACTOR from Philadelphia runs into the room holding an original text.

Citizens, he cries with GAY ABANDON.  I have found the ORIGINAL manuscript.  

Leaving the manuscript atop the pile of papers in CITY HALL, he turns on his coat-tails and leaves the building.  

He is QUITE CLEARLY insane, you think to yourself before carrying on with your usual Monday morning itinerary.
