Barros Behind Bars; Bounty Hunter Baffles Police
Gunter Barros, the ex-linebacker who escaped from the Sanitarium along with several other inmates on the 21st, was caught early this morning hiding in the home of one of his biggest fans and the vice-president of his former fanclub, Mr. Alan Masson, 28. No other information is known about this mysterious new bounty hunter other than his name, presumably false: "Schwarz Bruder". Just after the morning Sirens this bounty hunter appeared with Barros, took the bounty, and left. He was later spotted by nurses in the Siren's Port General Hospital paying Mr. Brandon Fenn's medical bill, which amounted to a whopping $4,500. The other $3,750 was not taken by Mr. Bruder either, but was instead gifted to the St. Teresa's Sanitarium with the express wish that it was be used to increase their security measures "so that this sort of thing will never happen again", according to the printed note left with the money.
There is only one image of this strange bounty hunter circulating in every news circuit, and it was taken by a high-speed camera of a budding photographer in the Port, one Ms Angela Harrison, who only happened to spot the man leaping along rooftops just after Barros' recapture because of her gift for slowing down time to 50% original speed. Neither the Sanitarium security cameras nor the SPGH security cameras caught Mr. Bruder on tape
A shorter part of the article mentions the capture of three other inmates brought in earlier this week, Gregory Treseler, Teodora Lund, and Sofia Abspoel. Although few details have been released on their hunters, citizens are pleased to have the criminally insane off the streets. Eight escapees remain at large and dangerous.
Other News
- There is a brief article detailing a false alarm bomb scare near the core, involving a newcomer who reportedly arrived claiming to carry an explosive device in his stomach. After being rushed off to the hospital by an SPPD bomb squad, doctors at Skye Medical Center later confirmed there was no bomb. EMS speculated that the new arrival, 'Snake', must have been in a state of shock and confusion. SERO has requested permission to access the diamond in order to screen arriving newcomers for future terrorist threats, but Governor Townshed denied this request.
- The OPEN (Organic Produce Environmentalists Nursery) Co-op Garden is opening a second sister location to their original store and garden plot in Sector 5. Located on the edge of Sector 7, just a few blocks west of the core, members of the community are welcome to volunteer tending the garden plot and enjoy its harvest fresh off the vine. Pesticide-free & non-genetically altered vegetables and herbs are available for a reduced cost.
- There is a small Tanabata Festival celebration running at a section of the Fairgrounds today, and a featured exhibit about Japanese & Chinese Astrological Mythology will be shown at The Chester Longfellow Natural Museum Planetarium between July 7th and August 7th.
- Reports are pouring in, confirming that the victims of Riley Ripley's breakaway chase at the mall last week have returned to their "normal" age at approximately 1pm yesterday afternoon. One 55 year old man, laughing as he recounted a week in his 25-year-old prime, told reporters: "Well my wife will be a little let down!" Ripley's live bounty continues to sit at 11k.
- The Cat's Eye Cafe & Bistro is having its grand opening this week.
