The First act
She had to take a few deep breaths before this began. Then quickly ran a comb through her dark hair patting it down again then sighed. She hated that appearances meant so much yet she had no idea what she really looked like. This was important though.
She took another deep breath. Then stuffed the comb inside her suit jacket and grabbed her cane making her way down to where the news conference was being held. She felt calm and collected now.
She hated this part though.
She could feel the glow of the hot white lights and felt someone near her elbow. The detective being put in charge of this mess she bet.
The roar of ten different reporters began to fill the air and Ivy shot them a look that could melt steel.
"As you have heard for the past three weeks cops have been found murdered on the night shift. We can't give you any more details than have already been leaked. But suffice to say these are brutal and senseless deaths deaths. The Gotham District Attorney's office morns the loss of the eight men and women who served the city.
The DA's office will be working closely with the Gotham Metro police department closely. We want the killer or killers found. We ask that anyone who thinks they know anything to please call either our offices or the Gotham PD. Please."
To tell the truth the murders might have started earlier. But the police and the DA had both agreed that mentioning that might not be the best idea. The first death had appeared to be very random and an isolated incident.
They just didn't want to rule it out. Ivy tenses up and gets ready to start fielding questions. She can feel the cop next to her also tensing up. This isn't going to be easy at all.
