808-Broadway

**808-Broadway**, East Village of New York City, is the address of a former saloon and the new headquarters where Miss Sara Howard, John Moore and Detective Sergeants Marcus and Lucius Isaacson meet to continue their investigations. In 1897, Sara established her **Howard Detective Agency** at this address.

## Description

808 Broadway, East Village of New York City, is the address of the new headquarters where Miss Sara Howard, John Moore and Detective Sergeants Marcus and Lucius Isaacson meet to continue their investigation after Mary Palmer's murder forced Dr. Laszlo Kreizler to retire from the investigations. It used to be a saloon before the Commissioner's Sunday Licensing Laws put it out of business.

Miss Howard later established her own detective agency totally run by women. This caused uproar amongst the New York City society. Whilst her friends supported her along with other pioneering figures such as suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton, conservative such as Thomas Byrnes and William Randolph Hearst did not approve of women meddling in police and political businesses.

## Story

Headquarters

Following the death of Mary Palmer and Dr. Kreizler leaving the investigations, the team found themselves without a headquarters. Miss Sara Howard took matters into her own hands, occupying the building on 800-Broadway.

It didn't take long before John Moore and the Detective Sergeants Marcus and Lucius Isaacson were accustomed to the new location, with Sara Howard stepping into Dr. Kreizler steps as head of the investigation.

It was precisely here that they managed to connect important pieces and coming to the conclusion that Japheth Dury had changed his name to John Beecham, taking the surname of his rapist in a sort of deviated coping mechanism to vent his crimes.

Miss Howard was attacked by Connor at the door as she prepared to close the office in the evening. He threatened the woman to stop the investigation if she didn't want to be raped in a dark corner when she least expected it, but Miss Howard was not intimidated by such threats.

Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt visited the new headquarters to support the team, especially in a dark time when one of the potential victims was close to John Moore.

The illustrator blamed himself for failing to warn Joseph, a young prostitute who had given Moore valuable information from the underbelly. Miss Howard tried to console him, but Moore misunderstood her intentions and kissed her.

The team later spent days in the office reading and analysing clues on their suspect, being able to track his past addresses and current lair.

Detective Isaacson worked their brain out in an attempt to pinpoint each potential location of the next murder. Using Miss Howard deductions on the qualities required by the place of the other crimes — height, proximity to water and abandoned building, and the discovery of Dr. Kreizler that every murder was committed on important holidays of the Christian calendar, the team managed to list a fair amount of possible ones.
