Okay, it's help with a minor plot point, but still.
I've been writting in acts that are placed into books-volumes.
It goes Act one: Focusses on one character. Act two: Focusses on another character. Act three. Joins the P.O.V. Then inbetween the next act is an Interlude.
The next two acts shed some light on why what is happening happened to a certain character, while the next act ends that particular thread and has the P.O.V of all characters introduced so far.
Now, the plot help needed with......Ahem.
So my character works in a poorhouse as the in house doctor. She's chosen the job because it's the only one she could get despite her training, and because it grants her some anonimity. After being sent out to by some supplies, she is witness to a murder. The murderer threatens her to keep quiet before leaving. Before she can do anything, one of the city guards find her standing over the body and while in shock she tells him about the killer.
The next day, she is visited by a man who she deems responsible for the reason she has to remain in low profile. He makes it really clear to her that he's here because of the murder, and when she returns home, she discovers it ransacked but nothing taken. Disturbed, she writes to her friend, a man she deems her knight in shining armor and begs him to come back. Still in a panic, she decides to make herself homeless and sleep on the streets in an attempt to remain hidden. It doesn't take her long to be captured. She is then sold to a brothel, where her first customer ends up being someone who has been sent to kill her. Luckily, her knight in shining armor arrives in time to save her.
The next chapters reveal the identity of the mysterious killer, revealing he is working for a crime boss who is in the middle of a hostile takeover of the criminal underworld. It is revealed that the man who she thinks is the reason she has to remain undercover, is working for the crimeboss, as is the woman who runs the brothel.
Now I'm wondering, is it reasonable to expect a woman who is seeking for control of the criminal underworld, not to outright kill someone who saw one of her asassins? Is it believeable simply to have her send a simple threat in the form of someone they know will frighten her?
