[CIVIL] - Death Doctor taken into custody by Vigilante.

Funky City, Nepleslia, Channel 3 Newsroom

"Good afternoon folks, we've had quite a day today." Tom, the nondescript Channel 3 News anchor said at his desk in the studio, staring right into the camera. Next to his desk was a screen mounted on the back wall, which had a picture of two men on a motorcycle decimating an entire gang with a Flechette launcher.

This news station didn't have the best looking of facilities, but it did get the news across to Nepleslians in the general Funky City area.
"Earlier this afternoon, you may remember the Highway of Death being liberated by this fellow and his friend..."

A picture of a two men showed up on the back screen. One had spikey hair, sideburns, brown eyes and a huge, goofy grin. The other had brown, messy hair with slate blue eyes and a smile on his face.

"Well, it looks like they've done more just an hour ago. The death doctor known as Dr. Mort has been apprehended by these fellows and handed into a local police station, with a fuckin' body double too!" Tom was reading the paper in front of his hands, occasionally glancing at the Teleprompter behind the camera. "We'll go live to the Police station to interview the Chief of Police there. Over to you, Dan..." With those last few words he pointed to his left with both hands and glanced over.

Then the report went over to Dan, who was standing inside the police station with a microphone in his hands and a police officer standing next to him.
"Thanks Tom, I'm here at one of the many Funky City Police boxes. This one had the liberty of getting a special delivery. That is, the two murdering prickwipes." He thrust the microphone over to the policeman, "So, did the guy who left these two fuckers here say anything?"
"Ehh, he said somethin' along the lines of 'give these two a trial by shotgun' er sometin like that." He mumbled into the microphone.
"Did he have any name?" Dan asked again.
"Mhh. He called himself 'Wolf'. Some sorta Nom de Guerre shit... he looked awesome with them sidies though."
"Interesting," Dan replied, "How will you deal with your 'delivery' anyway?"
"The two will sit on the Electric chairs right, about..." Then the lights in the office began to flicker a little, then returned to normal, "...now."
"Great. Thanks for your time." Dan told him as he took back the microphone, "Back to you, Tom!"
"Wait- I wasn't--"

Then the picture went back to the newsroom.
"Thanks Dan." Tom replied as he looked into the camera and pointed with his elbow down on the desk, "Bounty hunting's a big business, always in demand 'round here in Nepleslia. Join it today! Sure as hell beats the riots!"
That reminded him of something.

"Oh, by the way, there's a massive Greens VS. Reds riot down on Main Street. Bring your beer bottles and cans while it lasts!"
He then resumed his original position. "Anyway, this is Channel 3 News Update, Live. See ya next time."
