Emergency Meeting Calls For Drastic Measures

A panic-struck Amnity was finally left with a definitive answer to what would be done to solve the shark attack crisis as Police Chief Martin Brody announced that he will be taken actions to prevent further shark attacks at Village Beach.
Brody, had earlier said that he didn't want to jump to conclusions regarding the manner in which two young Amnity civilians were slain in the water at Village Beach.
At the meeting a sense of confusion and panic buzzed around the local Amnity school as the Amnity Board of Selectman, Mayor Bob Farley, and Brody announced their plan to close the beach for twenty-four and bring in shark spotters and additional deputies to help with the shark problem.
 Local Amnity residents were astonished to hear the beach would be closed for an entire day and were upset with the news.
Despite the terror in the crowd, the Board of Selectman kept a clam demeanor and were joking around with, Marion Kintner, the mother of, Alex Kintner, the ten year old boy who was killed while floating on a rubber raft.
The meeting, which was crammed into a tiny classroom, was interrupted by local fisherman, Ben Quint who offered to slay the terrorizing shark for much more money than the proposed bounty.
"I'll find the shark for three thousand but it'll cost ten thousand for the catch.  You get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."
Quint, a renowned local fisherman known by most Amnity locals knows the strain these shark attacks are putting on the town of Amnity.
"You all know me and I'll catch this bird for you, but it's a bad fish." Quint said referring to the shark with is threatening to drive away summer tourism from Amnity and extremely damage the summer profits.
The first death from the shark attacks was reported this morning at four a.m. after Wendy W. Watson, 17, of Amnity was reported missing and her body found mangled on the beach.
While the beaches remained opened, Kintner was dragged down from his raft while floating around a large group of people.
