I must say I'm a bit surprised to find out the FBI has an interest in this. But I'll be honest and welcome IRS agents here if I thought they could help somehow.

More details? Sure I can give you that. I can also have copies of the reports made for you if you wish. Things are bad and I'd do most anything to see my town peaceful again.

The attacks so far have had between 12-15 riders coming into town from the east, in two groups. One group comes in on Oak the other comes in on Grand. They'll attack anyone that tries to stand up to them. Other then that they'll go into the shops and other business in town and demand money, or any other good that place might offer.

Like they'll hit PB's bar, taking some cash and several cases of beer and some bottles of booze. They'll hit the T-Shirt shack and grab a couple handfuls of t-shirts. They'll grab chips and other food from the supermarket...

They don't bother people in their homes and only seem to take stuff that they'll have a use for. They've never taken big electronics like TV's and such. But they will take portable stereos and batteries. The first time they hit us they took a lot of camping gear, portable stoves, sleeping bags and the like. But they haven't taken much more of that on the other attacks.

All in all it seems like they have a camp of some sort setup somewhere east of here and are now living off of us. I've been in contact with other towns and a couple of the closer ones have been hit as well. Never on the same day and one of them has only been hit once so far.

We've tried to set up road blocks, but they simply ride over the top of us, and I mean that literately. They have no fear and if they crash a few bikes and get hurt, doesn't seem to bother them in the least.

The second time they came into town we had a little advanced warning, that's when we set up the roadblock. We shot a few of them before they got to us. But when they did it was a slaughter... I lost 2 good men that day and had over half of the rest put in the hospital for weeks.

Since they we try to limit the damage but there's not much we can do to stop them.

They all carry clubs of one sort or another, ether homemade or some now have bats. Some of them have shotguns, or small handguns, but that's about it. They seem to prefer clubs and the like over guns.

Other then that, there's little rime or reason to the attacks, they ride in and it's pretty much pure chaos for a time. They seem to wander around with no real idea of what they are doing, going where ever something catches their eye. Then maybe 45 minutes to a hour later they ride out leaving us to clean up the mess.
 

Kara takes some notes on her PDA and replies, "Hmmm, thank you. My condolences for your men, Chief."

She is ready to record the answers to her follow-on questions as she pauses for the Chief to reply, "So they come in the evening correct, is it dusk or full dark when they arrive?"

"The roads heading East, Oak and Grand, do they join together into a single road heading East a little farther out? Where did you try the roadblocks?"

"This advanced warning you mention, can you please tell us more about that?"

"Also when you had the unfortunate battle where you lost your men, did happen to take any of the bikers down? I would like to examine any bodies if you have one in the morgue still."

She looks to Nick to see if he has any further questions to ask.
 

Nick also expresses his condolences for the loss of the Chiefs men and just listens as Kara asks the follow up questions. When she looks to him he simply winks at her and continues sitting their awaiting the Cheifs response.
 

Thank you, it's not easy losing men no mater what. But in such a small town it was really bad... Everyone here knows everyone else more or less.

We did take a few of them down, but they must of grabbed the bodies or something, because we never found any corpses. I know we hit them, I'm pretty sure they didn't get up. But by the time we got around to cleaning up the mess they were gone.

As to your other questions, they seem to come in sometime after dusk, I'd say around 30 minutes or so after sundown. So it's not quite pitch black yet but pretty close. It's actually kind of weird that way, I've never seen one with any sort of nightvision but they seem to be able to see very well in the dark.

We set up a road block about half a mile out on county road 12. That road comes into town and becomes Main more or less. There's a intersection out there between 12 and highway 37 that heads north-south. highway 37 splits off and becomes Grand, 12 splits off a bit out of town and becomes main and Oak.

The advanced warning we had was from a deputy sitting out on 12 on patrol, looking for speeders and the like. He saw them head by and gave us a good 20 minutes warning.
 

[F*ck] Nick thinks to himself and quickly pulls out his cell phone and text Rodny: Hey see about stopping by an army surplus store and get some nightvision goggles if they have any. Thanks. He then puts his phone away and goes back to listening. "Is there always someone out patrolling there? What I mean is will there be an early warning the next time they return?"

Sensing Nick's sudden discomfort, Kara looks over at what he is doing and gives him a subtle nudge to catch his attention before he sends it. She shakes her head and whispers, "Got NVGs and more in the SUV." Then she speaks to the Chief again, "Chief Barlow, my apologies for the interruption. Please continue."
[Sblock=OOC]http://www.enworld.org/forum/5159382-post252.html Kara already looked into this other gear and packed it, except for the demolition stuff because no one has the skill. VanorDM said it was all available.[/Sblock]
After hearing the answer to Nick's question she considers out loud, "It appears the bikers all pass through the intersection of Road 12 and Highway 37 before dividing into two groups. Did your deputy on lookout happen to see which road they came in before reaching that intersection?"

Then she will also ask the Chief, "Can you tell me a little more about the incident with the roadblock. Did the bikers split before they reached it? If so, then you only dealt with half of them, correct? Or did the others circle around and flank you? I am wondering if they have some way communicating while separated."

It's a good spot for a patrolman, lots of people like to speed out that way so we spend some time out that way. But it's not like we always have someone out there. We have tried to have people out there more often now, to give us some warning. If you want I can make sure and let you know if I hear anything.

County road 12 goes out for miles and miles to the east, so they could be anywhere out that way.

We only saw half of them when we set up the road block, they road over us so fast that the other group wouldn't of had time to circle around on us before the first group was gone. They all seem to leave at about the same time, but that could be just that they plan on spending 30 minutes in town, and doesn't mean they can communicate some how. Then again cell phones are cheap so there's no reason to assume they can't.
 

Kara turns to Nick with an eyebrow raised indicating that she doesn't have any more questions.
<<OOC: We should have a Police Band radio to listen on the LEOs comms from the SUV. I was assuming it came with what one might expect in an FBI vehicle including wireless access for Rodny's laptop.>>
