Whitechapel, England, September 8th, 1888
Annie Chapman walked down the dark alley of 29 Hanbury St. It was about 12 am; still possible buisness hours.
She searched for a man, any man. She needed the money.
Her eyes lit up when she came across a masculine dark figure.
"Sir! Sir!" Annie exclaimed excitedly, pulling up her long dress as she ran. She clung on the the man's arm. "We could do some business, for a little money..."
"Huh." The man huffed, in what Annie thought was a German accent. She pulled the mans arm tighter.
"I would really appreciate it-" She was cut off by the sound a a sharp blade being taken out. "S-sir?" Her last memory was the sight of a long-bladed knife, and her own scream as it sliced her neck.

Alice Kirkland winced at the sight at the horribly ripped body. What kind of devilish soul could have done this? she thought, shaking her head.
A warm hand touched her shoulder. "Another murder?"
Alice recognized the voice almost instantly - Alfred F. Jones. That...that bloody American idiot!
She sighed. "Unfortunately. Another prostitute." She turned around to face him.
Her eyes took in his features - short, medium blond hair with a cowlick that stood strait up in the front, pale blue eyes that were filled with curiosity, his mouth irritably turned up slightly in a half-smile. Handsome; but idiotic. That's how Alice would describe Alfred.
"What's your business here, anyway?" She asked him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Just stopping by until I heard about the murders. I wanted the inside scoop."
Hah. 'Inside scoop'? What was that? Was that some kind of American term?
"Now what are you going to do? Return to America?" Alice asked, raising a brow.
Alfred shook his head. "I'm going to stay."
"And what?"
He did the irritating half smile again. "Solve the ripper mystery."
((Recently I have been becoming very obsessed with Jack the Ripper stories, so I was like 'What the heck, let me write one myself.'
And a little disclaimer, just because it said German accent, doesn't mean it was Germany. It is not Germany or anyone who associates with Germany.
