shark story day 3

A special meeting took place tonight at the Town Hall. In attendance was Mayor Bob Farley, Police Chief Martin Brody, the Amity Board of Selectman and many outraged citizens.
Prior to the meeting the halls of town hall were filled with Amity residents talking of Marion Kintner’s $3,000 reward for the killing of the shark that is rumored to have killed her son.
Alex Kintner was killed in the water off Village Beach yesterday around 2 p.m. No statement has been released as to the cause of Kintner’s death, but with this being the second water related death in two days the word “shark” is being widely used.
Wendy Watson was partying with her friends when she decided to go for a swim. Her mauled body was found the morning after washed up on South Beach.
The meeting got started quickly as Chief Brody was given the floor. Brody told the anxious audience that he planned to hire extra summer deputies and shark spotters.
“The beaches will be closed for 24 hours,” Chief Brody told the now infuriated crowd at the meeting. Brody tried explaining his plan to bring in shark experts as citizens yelled out. “24 hours is like 3 weeks.”
The room went silent as the sound of fingernails screeched across a chalkboard. The entire room slowly turned around to see Ben Quint sitting next to a picture of a shark on the chalkboard.
“I’ll catch this bird for you,” Quint stated. Quint, a fisherman, said he would catch the shark, but it would take more than $3,000. “I’ll find him for 3,000, but I’ll catch him and kill him for 10.” Quint didn’t want any help or support from the town, just the money.
Quint stated that the shark would terrorize our waters till caught, so if the town got the money together, the town would get the shark.
