There is a variety of things that could have happened with Blade, that is my point. Especially since no where in the flavor does it even hint at a mafia attack. Yes he did in fact say he has night immunity, that really should not mean anything at this point, especially since he was named in the scene, his hand would be forced to say something along those lines.

Zambi your last point is not correct. If (and I do not hold this to be true) Blade was the goon, sent off to kill, and got jailed, his partner would not magically take over the kill. Also, you never get a message that you were attacked unless you have x shot immunity or something other ability that would require that.

Cyber, I made a suggestion again for another possibility to make sense of the flavor. If that language was chosen for the purpose of expressing something more than just being decoration, then it does not make sense for an attack. Why did no one die? Maybe the mafia didn't attack in order to confuse people, perhaps they couldn't attack, who knows. The point is, the flavor does not make sense for (X was attacked by Y but managed to survive). Furthermore the zoo of death, and the attack specifically, takes place at a very specific time and location, its not a generic attack scenario. While it was two good guys in the story who were traveling in the zoo, we can discount that already since there is no mention of a partner in the flavor, and to again name Blade directly like that would effectively narrow him down to being one of two characters, which would not make any sense for a day 1 scene.
