Arlington: Conference
24 days since Michael's death. When I landed in the helicopter, I could have thrown the armored lady out instead of the soldier. That would have avoided the severing of Mike's femoral artery.
Kitch and I stand before a group of officers in the conference room at HQ. I bring the picture of the first victim of the killer(s) onto the projector screen. "This unfortunate gentleman right here is Benjamin Taylor. Ex-Blackgate prisoner. The cause of death was cutting of the jugular. The face was removed post-mortem. The bruises on the wrist indicate he was restrained. Three sets of footprints were found at the scene."
I switch to the next photo while I reach to get a cup of coffee. The sudden jerk causes my shoulder to act up. I need to take my meds. Kitch explains the next crime scene. "At this crime scene, we found a bloody foam cooler, bloody tools, and a bloody boiling pot. The blood from the cooler matched that of Mr. Taylor, confirming the two scenes are related. Now, the other blood belongs to Davis Cale. Cale was also and ex-Blackgate prisoner. At this scene, four sets of footprints were found."
I switch to the next photo. "Now, this and the next one happened yesterday, hours apart. Mr. faceless number two here is Douglas Jewels. Cause of death for this one was slit of the jugular. Now, what would you guess? Ex-Blackgate! Four sets of footprints. And this next crime scene found hours after this one is nearly identical to the concession stand. Bloody foam cooler with Jewel's blood, bloody tools, and boiling pot. The blood belonging to another ex-Blackgate prisoner James Teri was found at the scene."
Kitch takes over."First person we suspected was Doll Maker. He's cooped up in Arkham though. Surprisingly, there are no current on-the-loose escapees from Arkham. That means we may be dealing with someone new here."
"What we've failed mentioned before is what else these men had in common besides the being ex-Blackgate. These men at some time or another were once thugs or gang members if the Joker. Looks like this guy has something out for the Clown Prince of Crime."
"Currently, we have no idea what the killer or killers are doing with the faces or the presumably living victims. Your guess is as good as ours."
"Any questions?" None. Just concerned and disturbed faces. "Perfect. We're going to be setting up more patrols around the city. Let's find ourselves a killer."
