Chapter 35

The glaring afternoon sun was downright fierce; almost unbearable to be outside in. Still, it wasn’t the only thing to unexpectedly assail Antonio, Chou and Hernandez as they stepped out of Police Plaza. A swarm of ravenous reporters seemed to come out of nowhere. They represented media outlets ranging from the Village Voice to the Times. The fearless press warriors, acting like a pack of bloodthirsty predators salivating at the mouth at the prospect of devouring their next meal, knew who each and every member of the task force was.

Antonio quickly found himself being confronted by an aggressive, forceful, university-educated sissified pipsqueak. Kirk Hamill of City Perspective was clearly overdressed in business attire. In his hands was a notebook he was obviously quite proficient in using.

“Detective Guardini, what does the NYPD have to say to justify so shamefully violating the rights of Ronald Gunther?”

Antonio deliberated very carefully how he would respond to the question. Did everyone who moved through the doors of the nation’s formerly esteemed institutions of higher learning become this brainwashed by the liberal agenda? He hoped and prayed his own children would survive college without succumbing to the same horrible fate.

“At the time, we had reasonable grounds to speak to Mr. Gunther as a person of interest only. Any further questions relating to this matter you will need to speak to the media relations department.”

Anthony Browne, a maverick crime reporter with the New York Post, stood a meter or two away from the detectives. Hungry to give his newspaper’s readership the most ‘up-to-the-minute’ information about the “Abortion Avenger” sage, Browne held up a recorder as he spoke to Chou.

“With the recent murder of Allyson Shields, New Yorkers have become increasingly scared and demand that the NYPD stop this reign of terror before there are more victims. Are you currently looking at other potential suspects?”

Chou blinked as a dozen cameras flashed in her face. Like her colleagues, the attractive homicide investigator wasn’t particularly well-versed in media relations and preferred to avoid the press as much as possible.

“We aren’t at the present time. But the task force will continue to pursue all leads no matter how small until whoever is responsible for these heinous crimes is brought to justice.”
