Here’s what I’ve been able to learn about this hired killer.
He has no real name (or aliases) that I can pin to a driver’s license or passport. But he has two nicknames: “the Quiet One” and “Tesla.” The names are a nod to this hit man’s silence and speed. If you want a hit done fast and clean with zero traces, you pay extra for the Quiet One.
No law enforcement agency, domestic or foreign, has been able to gather more than scraps about the Quiet One. (I know; I looked.) The FBI won’t even acknowledge he exists, attributing his work to various other people. As if it would be bad form to admit total defeat.
But for the Archie Hughes and Roz Cline killings, the Quiet One seems to fit. There was zero forensic evidence left behind; no cameras caught the murder; and the killer eluded the authorities despite police officers being on the scene almost immediately.
The missing Super Bowl ring is the only part of this that feels off. The Quiet One would not bother with such a souvenir—unless his client had insisted on it. That said, it still feels out of character.
Under my own alias, I tried to reach out to arrange some kind of meeting with the Quiet One or one of his associates. I was pretty much laughed out of the dark web. The kind of people who can afford to hire the Quiet One are way above my pay grade…or even one that I can reasonably fake. Every overture I made was quickly shut down.
And I’ll be honest: I’m worried about trying again, because I’d rather not catch the Quiet One’s attention. You treat me fair, boss, but I don’t want to die for this job.
This should tell you a lot about who might have hired the Quiet One to kill Archie Hughes. These are not ordinary wealthy people. They look down on new-money types like the Sables. We’re talking about the highest echelon of the wealthy, individuals who reshape the world as they like. You have to ask yourself, why would these people want Archie dead?
Hope you and the kids had fun at the game. I’ll admit to being incredibly jealous that you were able to witness firsthand the Hail Mary pass they’ll be talking about for decades to come.
I’ll send more as I learn it.
Oh, one more thing—this just came in. It’s about Maya Rain. See the document attached to this message.
