This is Dirk Pitt with a news brief:

1. The infestation problem may soon be under control. The Decatur Exterminators have acquired some flame throwers from Ben Raines to use on the pests that have built a resistance to the pesticides. So far a few areas of town have been liberated including the Rural District and Industrial District just to mention a couple. Downtown Decatur will be the most difficult as the majority of the populace are here as well as key buildings. Looks like it will be door to door fighting with the vermin.

2. Elders show generosity???? I went undercover a few months ago posing as a homeless person with no cash and getting put in jail. The Elders DID come out and help me during my "Time of Needs". Here is the conversation:

Dirk: Thank you for busting me and helping me out. Who are you?
Elders: We belong to the Elders Gang. The most powerful there is here in Decatur.
Dirk: Well, thanks again but I hear around that you are vicious and vile and would soon put your own family in the hospital to further your gang here in town. Why help a low person like me?
Elders: Well, that is true but we already know we are the best there is. We can Mug, pickpocket, spy, attack anyone we want and bust out of jail with blindfolds on and handcuffs and shackles on as well just to name a few things. It isn't fun anymore. We now help the citizens of Decatur when we see they need it. From the wrongfully accused sitting in jail to the person being viciously attacked by others for no reason. We even helped with cash. We help all as we see and determine it.
Dirk: Well, thanks again Elders. Very much appreciate the bust and the help. Have a very good day.
Elders: Thank you stranger, you as well. Look us up if need be. We may be able to help. No guarantees though.

Then they turned the corner and was gone.

Stay tuned later for an interview with the vile three. Yes, I went out on location to get you the news into the wastelands and conducted an interview. Now back to our regularly scheduled program, Friday the 13th part 52: Jason gets his butt handed to him by decatur.
