I hope you were able to figure out the code!

But if you didn't, this is the rule:

Mafia Code Rules:

Capitalized- Skip 1 letter and read the letter(s) that follow

(Do not read the letter itself unless coded to read.)

Ex: a b c d E F g h i j k l m n

= E and F are capitalized, so skip "g" and read the next 2 letters, which is "hi"


Italicized- Skip 1 word, and read the word(s) after

(Do not read the word itself unless coded to read.)

*If there's more than 1 word that is italicized next to each other, look at them as a group of italicized "words", skip 1 word, and read the number of directed words.

(Damn that's confusing... look at the "into an" part of the example.) 

Ex: Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. 

(-Fredrich Nietzsche)

= Read as: " Monsters see. Gaze into the abyss."


Bolded - Read the word /letter.

(This one is by far the easiest.)

Ex: Time is long but life is short.

(- Steve Wonder)

= Read as: "Time is short."


NOTE: The only punctuation that matters is the period, slashes, and quotation marks- you can ignore the other ones (e.g. ignore commas, hyphens, colons, etc.) 

Makes sense?

Now go back to the Top Secret File to see what the title says! 

Happy reading :)

I couldn't stop myself from quietly laughing.

Global warming sucks? "Bro gave up on the last sentence," I said.

I looked up to see George smiling, but his eyes were dead. I looked back down.

Right. This was serious.

O killed one member of E. Now sure why. Another war?

It's not unusual for the Mafias to be arguing with each other, but there's a reason why it made it to the front news. And the fact that the death of this "one member" could cause another war... this figure must have been in great power in The Eye of the West.
