ᴏɴᴄᴇ ᴀ ᴍᴏʙꜱᴛᴇʀ... (A retelling of "Mob of the Dead")

All rights go to Treyarch and Activision. These are not my characters, instead they are my own take on the ones they have made.

Sal was a mobster, at least, he wanted to be one. Having gambled for most of his life, he created a mob, soon hiring Billy Handsome as his right hand man. Billy, a man who thrives off of murder and torture. He's loyal to Sal, the whole way. Soon enough, Sal had to hire another one. Finn was his nickname, an aggressive mobster who'd become rivals with Billy. The three were a likely team, all having violent intent, but they weren't very smart, they needed someone else. That's when Albert "Weasel" Arlington joined. A cynical man, but one that was smart. That's all they needed. But it wouldn't be long until they'd try a betrayal. He wasn't a violent man, Weasel wouldn't fit in. After the prison escape, they'd kill him. But a change of plans happened when the universe changed. The cycle had been broken when the gang shot Sal instead of Al. Portals stood before them, three of them. They left, leaving Sal to bleed to death in purgatory.

This is but an alternative to the original ending to Mob of the Dead. To understand the book better, I'd suggest looking into the game itself if you haven't already.
