The Whitly Family

**Members:** | Martin Whitly *(Father)*
Jessica Whitly *(Mother)*
Malcolm Whitly *(Son)*

**The Whitly Family** names were all tarnished the day Martin Whitly was discovered to be a serial killer. Specifically Jessica Whitly has spent the last 20 years trying to redeem for her husband's actions. While her son, Malcolm Bright has changed his last name at your Bright and become an FBI agent intent on catching serial killers, and her daughter, Ainsley Whitly is a journalistic reporter. The only one of them who seems unaffected.

## Early Years

In 1998 in Upper East Side, Officer Gil Arroyo responded to a house about a prank. He was invited in by Dr. Martin Whitly who fixed him a cup of tea. Malcolm Whitly entered the room, and informed Gil to take out his gun, as his father was getting ready to poison him. Eventually, this led to the arrest of the wanted serial killer *The Surgeon*

In 1996 *The Surgeon* killed *The Lehrer* brothers' mother, but he wasn't connected with the crime for another three years. In the meantime, they went to jail for it. Jessica Whitly offered them a settlement. They insisted on a jury trial and lost.

## Season 1

Jessica was recruited by her son on behalf of the NYPD to interview XXX, while he posed as a servant in the room. After a number of people came through, Malcolm was able to pinpoint *Curtis Marsh* as a possible culprit. She later recounted her involvement in the case to Dr. Simon Coppenrath as part of a sting operation.

Jessica, believing she was getting back into high society was pleased when she discovered she was invited to New York royalty's the Taylor Wedding. The son of billionaire George Taylor. Unbeknownst to her, her daughter Ainsley had managed to get her an invitation by getting her placed with the media. At that same wedding, Malcolm stopped the father George from being shot by his son's former girlfriend whose death he had covered up. All while Ainsley's reported from outside.

Two weeks later Jessica was contacted by someone with information about the bracelet belonging to the woman in the box. She and Malcolm went to the park's merry-go-round only to find a dead man. Wanting to put an end to all that death, Jessica agreed to pay Cory Wheaton $1 million ransom to save another *Noah Lehrer*. However, he killed the man anyways and later contacted her to kill her ex-husband in prison. Her son stopped her, but it was Malcolm who stabbed Martin when they realized their murders were connected to a woman who died on his operating table, to save the time of the kidnapped OR nurse.

After Malcolm was framed for murder by Nicholas Endicott, Ainsley covers for her brother after he sneaks away without his ankle bracelet. When he returns, she sits with him on the couch, both her and her mother insisting he never left as they are informed her father's lawyer has been murdered. Malcolm admits he left, and they haul them off for questioning. That evening, She and her brother visit Martin in Gen. pop, and Martin admits he had no documentation to prove what he knows about Nicholas, it was all a gamble. That night she texts her brother to come home, and he finds her with Nicholas, crying as he sits extremely close to her. Nicholas admits he is responsible for the pending death of their father and will be framing Malcolm for the murder of Eddie. Malcolm threatens to shoot him, and when he can’t, Ainsley grabs Nicholas and slits his throat. Their father calls Malcolm from prison after taking Ainsley's advice and Ainsley takes Martin's advice to kill Nicholas.
