CH 14 Dealing With The Press

It was so kinda easy dealing with the police but the hell was on the loose when the press was here and the people wanted so bad to get the glimpse of a crime scene and know what has happened back in the house. If anything Nyssa hated it was press. She simply could not get a rid of these hungry leeches for a good that were fighting over her like over the piece of a chocolate cake. She refused to give any comments and so far there was luck for police managed to keep the press from the crime scene all but one a red haired woman who managed to sneak past and get some shots of the crime scene.

Nyssa appeared quietly at her side taking a woman of a guard her face not so pleased at all for having her sneaking into her house. Nyssa was furious but maintained her control not to burst out.

"What are you doing here? This place is off your limits. I am calling the security right now. Same goes with your camera." Her voice was firm and her eyes were icy cold.

"Sorry miss but I got to report this I have police pass as long as I just take photos of the house on the outside not the crime scene due to security reasons," Maria replied cautiously.

Maria thought to herself man who is this woman she does not look like a cop her reporter thoughts were at their peak. Well who ever she is I have got a mean boss and story to right for the front page and no one was going to stand in the way. Maria left the inside of the house it was to horrified to look at what she did see. She proceed to take photos of the outside of the house and begin taping her story.

"This Maria Mackenzie reporting for Gothiam City Chronicle it appears to be a double homicide from what police are saying. There seems to be no witness about to what actually happen here. Police are continuing their investigation." Suddenly there was witness appearing to talking to the police that same woman that she saw outside the house. Sensing a story here Maria walked over to hear what she could.

Nyssa gave a quick statement refusing to give any details about the bodies and the message on the wall. She knew she had to cover her tracks and she was aware that she was being watched even though now no one was there. The members of League were still on a loose and she wanted the press out from her estate for good and really needed some sleep but this was not possible if only they would leave her alone.

She felt sorry to push Batman to leave it was only a matter of a time that Bruce would show up on her doorstep if not tonight perhaps in early morning and would she be able to talk then for she had no where else to go. The policeman suggested her to go to hotel and stay there for a night but she refused for she was afraid that the League might return again. She wanted to step in a contact with Bruce before she was gone. Even it was so late in the evening she felt sorry but she had to call him. Picking a phone she pressed the numbers calling directly to Wayne's estate. Since no one was answering she left the message.

"Mr. Wayne sorry to call you this late but I just wanted to let you know that I will not be tomorrow at the estate for I am spending a night in the hotel. I am sure you do have my number so if you can reach me later that would be all right. It is Nyssa by the way and number of my cell is #425-6843. Just leave a message and I would call you back soon as I can. Have good night and I will talk to you soon." Nyssa hung up and prepared the bag so she might leave soon as police told her that she was free to go.

Maria wonder what was this league thing that woman was talking to the police about and message on the wall mmm she smelt a juicy story but did not want to push because sometimes knowing too much can lead to bad things. Maria did not want to do that just wanted to get her story. She pressed the button to her tape again and began to record.

" Police are puzzled by red letters on the wall they are not say much at this time until forensics have looked over the scene. Neighbors in this area are very scared and refused to comment on the record but undisclosed source is saying that is no remand murder and the house was in quite a mess for sometime. Police have also said that they have not yet identified the bodies found that should be done in two days. If you have any information on this crime report it to the police."

Maria stopped here taped and began taking photos of the front of the house for the cover. This story was going to be a big one and she knew there was more to it that what police were saying. Soon something will come out and who that person was at the scene was too.

The limo had finally arrived to pick her up and Nyssa took her bag and purse and coat descending down the steps to the main foyer of the house. The police was still there but this time she was free to go and no one seemed to ask her at all and she was to be informed more about this case tomorrow morning when she is well rested. Irony was the dawn was only two hours away and there was no time for rest.

The driver waited her outside and opened the door quickly as the newspaper crew tried to get the last shots of her before she was gone. Once inside of a car Nyssa could relax and clear her mind trying not to think about the madness outside that was happening by her home. The reservations were made quickly over the phone and she was staying in one of the finest hotels in Gotham and once in her room all she need was the sleep and not to be disturbed at all. But that was not meant to happen for a shadow that was standing not far from her window waiting for a right time to strike her down.
