Wolf News Report

[phantommods]

“This is Candace Sierra of Wolf News, coming to you live from the Tend the Flock Charity with a breaking news report. This morning, calling cards for the group known as the “Phantom Thieves” were posted all around the Charity, naming James and Tamara Poplett as their target. Around 7 PM this evening, Pastor James Poplett collapsed for unknown reasons and was rushed to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Paramedics who arrived on the scene noticed the children who were housed at the Charity appeared to be malnourished and in poor condition. LAPD arrived on the scene and arrested Tamara and Bartholomew Poplett, as well as several adult caretakers. About thirty children have been taken into protective custody. Had James Poplett survived, he would have been charged as well. We are receiving reports that Tamara Poplett has confessed to using the Charity to enrich her family, as well as to several counts of child abuse. The Popletts are currently in prison awaiting charges.”

“As for the Phantom Thieves, a video was delivered anonymously to the Wolf News station in LA an hour ago. After being checked by local authorities, Wolf News has reviewed the video, the contents of which we are sharing with you today.”


A grainy video appears of a darkened silhouette. The voice is obviously altered and distorted.

“Good evening. We are the true Phantom Organization that seeks to right the wrongs of society. We are the Phantom Inquisition. We have chapters all over the world, and we have a message to deliver to the world tonight - the time of the rich preying upon the poor, the greedy upon the suffering is coming to an end. We will purge every oppressor and tear down this rigged, failed system. From its ashes we will build a new world of freedom and equality. We’re coming for you, and we will kill you. We will not except stolen hearts and confessions, if you have oppressed people and profited from it, your days are numbered.”

The screen fades to black, before returning to Candace.

“Who are these ‘Phantom Inquisitors’? Who are their targets? Who will be the next victims? We go now to our news desk, where our news analysts will break down the situation.”
