Chapter 2 - MYSTERY IN THE RAIN: FUGITIVE VANISHES FROM SKYBRIDGE — FIVE DEAD IN STRING OF REVENGE KILLINGS

By Johnny Doe | Independent Correspondent, Free Frequency Net

New Vegas — Two nights ago, under relentless neon rain and the howl of sirens, a man reportedly plunged from the Sector 7 skybridge into an industrial water tank below, moments after a tense standoff with law enforcement. Witnesses say he was injured, possibly shot, and appeared to activate an explosive device moments before vanishing into the mist.

Police locked down the district immediately. Drones combed the area. Divers were deployed. Yet no body was recovered.

Authorities have since refused to confirm the identity of the fugitive, referring to the incident only as an "ongoing investigation." But sources close to the case tell Free Frequency that the man is connected to a wave of recent targeted killings—all of them linked to City Hall.

Five dead. All within the last 48 hours. All with direct ties to Mayor Els Renner's administration—two aides, one policy director, a data procurement officer, and a former city surveillance contractor.

The pattern is too precise to ignore.

Police continue to claim "everything is under control," but street-level sources paint a different picture. 

No official statement confirms this. In fact, the NVPF (New Vegas Police Force) has refused to release any footage of the skybridge incident. No confirmation. No denials. Just a void of answers.

So far, all evidence points to someone taking revenge—methodically and personally. One source, a former precinct tech who asked to remain anonymous, described the killings as "surgical, clean, like someone who knows the system from the inside."

The motives are starting to come into focus. Sources close to the investigation believe this may not be random violence, but a deeply personal act of vengeance—traced back to the death of a young woman last year, under suspicious circumstances inside City Hall. Her name has not been officially released, but insiders claim she was a junior staffer whose case was quietly sealed and buried. Whether justice or revenge, the streets are listening.

This story is developing. Stay tuned.
