[QUOTE="Memnoch3434, post: 5999735, member: 6676476"] [b]Act 0; Scene 1[/b] Adriana Brinn came to work exhausted. She looked at a new pile of hate mail. In her mind's eye she imagined what they said on the inside. "Muderer, Whore, Tomboy." At work she received hate mail for taking a job away from a man and his family. Her family received hate mail from employees that had to be "let go" for the meat factory to stay afloat. Everywhere she turned someone was blaming her for something. "Daniel Martin wants you in his office." The wispy voice of the mailman felt cold on her ears. Adriana tried to reply but all that came out were partially audible mumbles. She cleared her throat and nodded. Adriana stood up and walked into the Office of the editor-in-chief. Already there was Maxine Kingston, the only other female who worked at the newspaper. "Ladies, the pressure has been building for months," Martin cawed. Maxine immediately burst into tears. "I can't have you on staff because people wont buy a paper with an article written by a woman, or edited by one." His eyes were unapologetic, and cold."I know times are tough but if I don't do this many other people will lose their jobs I'm sorry." Maxine was in full sobs at this point and she fled the office. Adriana was defeated she turned to leave the office. "Adriana close the door." Adriana complied. "What do you want now?" "Chief O'Brien called. He left this number for you to call back." Martin handed her the number. "It better be worth keeping you on my payroll." "I don't understand, am I still to be working here?" "You see that door? Use it, you don't work here anymore." Adriana left the office to a weeping Maxine. She begged and pleaded to stay with Adriana. Her rent was late for months and she would surely lose her place if she lost her job. Adriana agreed. * * * Adriana walked into O'brien's office. She closed the door quietly. "There is a rat in my homicide department." O'brien sighed with his thick irish accent. "I am going to pay you a lot of money to catch him. You will tell these men that you are doing a book on how homicide detectives work. I am going to allow this because I think it's good press." "Is this going to be dangerous?" "Oh yes, very very dangerous, you screw it up a little and the rat finds out who you are and I'm sure you will be dead. If Capone finds out? You really don't want to know. You'll be getting paid through the newspaper, as usual, but you work for me now. You'll be working with Detectives Thompson and Agostino." Adriana stood up.
