Motorway Mayhem

The roads around and in Manchester were the stage for a dangerous and violent conflict between Vigilantes and Triad members last night in three separate engagements. Each fight saw two Vigilantes ram a van off the road or stop it using their varied abilities, and from each van came at least three 'Jet' powered Triad killers who all displayed super human abilities.
In the heart of the Marks Estates the Vigilante Gamma and an unknown and never before seen hero dressed in black biker leathers and crash helmet fought their opposition for a short while before escaping away from the vans they had stopped. On the motorway heading out of town a similar situation unfolded with Fung Chi and Sinner attacking the van, only to pullout as well at roughly the same time as Gamma did. Finally Not Alice attacked another van with a man in a hockey mask and though they seemed to have bested their enemies who didn't even get out of the back of the van before Not Alice downed them, they too withdrew.
With the Vigilantes pulling back came the destruction of the vans along with the three 'Jet' heads who were lined up around the vans and so killied when the vehicles were firebombing by their drivers.
Damage to the roads was minimal considering the Jet and Vigilantes involved but voices of disapproval and concern were still calling for a formal inquiry into the deaths of the 'Jetheads' and whether they were at all preventable.
Tom Flin; acting Chief Inspector of Manchester Police expressed his concern over the incidents, 'We are looking at the Vigilante community stabilising and forming a network. On the surface this sounds excellent but if you look a little deeper then the evidence would suggest that things are about to get rougher.
We have seen the powered Vigilante community take a battering and they seem to be on the ropes, with their beats being enforced but certainly more cautiously than before. Now we see them ramming vehicles of the roads and pulling out of their action when they don't like the flavour of the conflict they have started. This is a strong indication they are being pushed by their fear of N.M.A hit teams into gorilla style action, that almost always leads to militancy which in turn brings them onto the road that people like the Punisher and Le Haine tread.
How long before they start taking tactical calls on who can be allowed to stay on the streets or on who has the money to beat the system and so should be subject to more serious action? I like the idea of the Bow Street Runners and their fancy dress neighbourhood watch but the others? Scary people with a disregard for the law...we normally would label them criminals. How long before we are forced too by their actions on the streets or in the back alleys?'
Flin, a known anti cape Policeman has long questioned the need for Vigilantes on the streets or the government and courts perchant for waving their crimes for the greater good. How long before this outspoken chief gains backing is unknown but certainly he seems to have shaken the apple cart with his comments and planted the seed of doubt in many minds.
