There was havoc in the streets - I could hear it; hurriedly I struggled to ready myself to join the growing crowd outside. Already I could see the Gregory family standing there with looks of bewilderment in their eyes whilst they looked on at the panicked crowd. Quickly I headed down the winding wooden staircase and out into the spring day to meet the scared crowd. Louise caught sight of me and called me over; as I walked over to the three of them both Burke and Hare met the three of them ahead. Catching up to the group I heard the two young men speedily discussing what the issue was and tripping over every other word. Turns out that they had believed to had found a suspect for who had killed Jack all those years before...
I panicked. I wanted to run away and hide myself from the crowd never to be seen again. My palms grew clammy and I couldn't help but discreetly wipe them down the sides of my dress; the insides of my mouth became increasingly dry and I found myself wanting to wet it with water. However, I couldn't show my anxiety and panicked. I had to conceal the truth. Somehow - someway I would get past this. On my shoulder I felt Louise's gentle hand squeeze slightly in reassurance and comfort - I tried my best to look agitated and miserable at the reminder of his passing. It was peculiar that so many knew about Jack and I when I believed it to have been kept to quiet - perhaps the Gregory girls just couldn't keep their mouths shut. I allowed Louise and Mary Jane Kelly to lead me back to their home where they would console me with tea and womanly chatter whilst the men strolled slowly behind us discussing this mystery suspect.
After hearing that the suspect was not me I could put my mind to rest and began taking note of how to rid myself of this happy family. They were too happy, too joyful and too oblivious to realise what my true motives were - but that was where I was one step ahead of them. They shut their pretty little eyes to who my true character was and that gave me a back door entrance into their lives; now I was close to them, so close, close enough to kill....
