KIDNAP VICTIMS FOUND, ONE DEAD
~ B.H. Tyler
   No cries for help were heard. No hand was lifted for aid. Before the sun rose, when night reached its darkest point, dozens of young women and children went missing. Sources say that a criminal ring dealing in the trade of persons was involved. No sooner did this string of crimes get reported did the next detail also be revealed.
   All the victims were returned, safely. They came streaming back into the Golden City, one by one. All, that is, except one young female miqo’te. Her name has not been revealed as her parents are still being located.
   One victim was available for questions. She said that a man dressed in complete black from head to toe stormed the area (an abandoned mine in Thanalan) and completely killed their captors. Not one was left alive. It sounds like the city’s masked vigilante, Viper. But he wasn’t alone. An unidentified female was also with him, dressed in black, and wearing a mask.
   While citizens slept in the comfort of their homes, and while the Brass Blades and Flames did Twelve knows what, these two vigilantes- these two heroes answered these unheard pleas for help. While there is one death, the fate these victims faced was grim, but the fate the captors met was worse. The amount of captors dead was not given.
   Inspector Paul Desmond was seen after the bloodbath took place, investigating the scene. He confirmed it was the work of the Viper. He commented that it is not within the reach of citizens to commit acts of vigilantism and it is punishable by law.
   Who, though, gets punished when the law fails? Is it the innocent victims who suffer to the short reach of justice? Thankfully for the dozens who were taken, Viper and his accomplice were there to rescue them.
   Authorities are now asking citizens for information on the Viper and his female accomplice. One victim said she thought she saw a tail, but there is only one testimony. If they are seen, they are to be considered armed and highly dangerous. Local authorities should be contacted in such an event.
