That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha ha. The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work then give it out straight.

Sorry about the blood still messy from the last one. What a pretty necklace I gave her. 5
Jack the Ripper, the most famous serial killer in history, terrorized the streets of London from 1888 to 1891. He preyed upon women who earned their income from allegedly selling themselves for sex. The murders, for the most part, took place in the Whitechapel area in London. Their throats were always cut, then their bodies mutilated. Because of the popularity of these murders much folklore and pseudo history has been written over the years and many writers and historians have given their theories on the identity of the killer.
Nonetheless, these crimes were never solved and no one was ever caught. 6
Present Day: Troy N.Y.
The kids knew they were in trouble when they rounded the corner of Hale and Walnut. The street was congested with squad cars and it looked to be the neighborhood mulling around forming a search party.
When they were spotted, a cry went out and the kids were rushed from all angles with questions bombarding them from it seemed a hundred different people. 7
News media from across the country have descended on the city of Troy, the home of Uncle Sam. The kids were swarmed by microphones, cameras and reporters all jockeying for position. Entertainment Tonight was even there. A serial killer was on the loose and it brought out all kinds. 8
Detective John Franzese forced his way through the throng, pushing and shoving reporters and cameramen out of the way until he fronted the kids. 9
“GET THESE VULTURES BACK NOW!” the detective hollered at the officers trying to get the crowd under control. Turning back to the kids, he placed his hands on his hips looking at them sternly and said, "We need to go have a little conversation kids.” Sadie and Indy moved in front of the kids barking. “Ok, ok the dogs too. Come on let's go.” and he led them around the back of the block and up onto Bobby’s back porch. “Ok, one at a time as I write. Who’s who here?” One by one they gave him their names. The only two missing were Dayna and Jessica who were brought to the hospital. John sat there contemplating how exactly to go about this, but first he held out his hand. “Give me the gun, son.” he said reaching towards Lenny. 10
Lenny looked shocked. “What? How did you know? No!” he said standing up and backing away. “He killed my mom and dad and he was going to kill my sisters.
You should see what he fucking did to my parents. I’m going to kill him myself.” Lenny said, trying to fight back tears. “Who told you?” he asked again. 11
“I did, Lenny.” Tracy said, looking quickly away from Lenny’s ice cold stare. Then he turned back to the detective, reached into the waist band of his pants, pulled the gun out and handed it to John. He took the gun quickly and checked to see if it was loaded and if the safety was on and then tucked it away himself. 12
“Ok kids, let's have it. Tell me everything before I lock you all up just to keep you safe. Do you even realize how lucky you are to be alive?” Lenny just stood there staring out of the back porch windows, so Bobby began.

The flight out of El Plumerillo from Mendoza to Chicago was on time to catch the connecting flight to Albany N.Y. The darkly clad figure had made it off the mountain and to the airport just in time to grab a Times Union newspaper and board the plane for take off. Settling in it scanned the paper for local news in Troy and then sat back and immersed itself into the paper as the flight took off. 15
John had taken the other kids home. He left directions for the officers on site to investigate the area near the falls. He took Lenny up to the hospital to see his sisters and to ask them some questions. Lenny wanted Sadie to come with him, so John put the dog in the back seat where she happily hung her head out the window. He didn’t see the sense in any of the kids having to go back down there. The officers would find the cave easy enough. 16
When they reached the hospital John parked right in the emergency entrance. Getting out he rounded the car as Lenny was opening the back door to let Sadie out. “Whoa, you can’t bring her into the hospital, Len." 17
Lenny stopped dead. “She goes or I stay here, too.” and he bent down petting the dog as she licked his face. 18
“Lenny, you can’t bring a dog into a hospital. It's not sanitary.” he said to the boy, who paid no attention to him at all. He just kept petting Sadie as she pranced back and forth. 19
John finally giving in said, “Ok, come on. Jesus, this is gonna be good. Don’t think it’s gonna go over well.” he said as the odd little group entered the hospital. 20
Almost immediately the nurse on duty came rushing over. “Hold it right there! Hey, hey, you can’t bring him in here.” she said. 21
“What, the boy?” John tried a little levity, but knew it wasn’t going work as she frowned at him pointing at the exit. 22
“Not funny, sir. Out! Out! The dog can not come in here.” she demanded. 23
“Look, nurse, uhhh” he paused, reading her name tag. “Uhh, Jennifer, nurse Jennifer, I’m detective John Franzese and this is Lenny Wilkins. His two sisters were brought in here earlier. I’m sure you're familiar with them. He’s here to see them. This is his dog and they are both going in to see the girls.” 24
Jennifer stood defiantly in front of him for a second or two then relented. She turned and said, “Follow me. I will take you to them.” 25
Later John was sitting in the hall on the corner of an adjoining hallway waiting for Lenny who was in with his sisters. He let him go in first and could hear the girls giggling from Sadie jumping up on their bed. It was a good sound. He looked up to see the nurse coming towards him. Across from him was a plate glass door that slid open and closed. It was now open just to annoy him he thought, as the patient in the room whom he couldn’t see was mumbling and every 20 seconds or so would shout out “Fredudududud.” 26
“Hey, detective, can I get you anything?” she asked as she took a chair next to him. 27
“Yeah, can you please find Fred for him?” John said smiling. 28
“Yeah, well he’s Fred.” she said laughing. 29
“Jesus, you're kidding?” 30
“No, I’m sorry to say, I’m not. Anyway, were going to take Dayna and run some tests just to make sure she’s ok and then Jess. We are still waiting for their aunt to come for them seeing as, well..." 31
“It’s ok, I know. They have no one. Jesus.” he said. She stood up and turned to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. 32
“FREDUDUDUDUD! DON’T FREDUDUDUDUD! HE’S COMING FOR YOU! FREDUDUDUD!” 33
“If you need anything just let me know.” John nodded ok and watched her walk away. She had black hair with light brown streaks running through it, a reddish dark complexion with dark smoldering eyes and a wide beautiful smile. She stood about 5 ft. 5 in. and looked every bit the nurse you imagine when you're fantasizing about playing doctor. And, despite her stunning looks, she was not in anyway conceited. She wore a blue hospital outfit and white nursing shoes. 34
“Uh humm, hi detective." The little voice snapped John back from his daydream.
He turned and there was Dayna laying on the hospital gurney up against the wall. 35
“Oh, hello. Ah, Dayna, right? Sorry, it’s been a long couple of days. How long have you been there?” he asked. 36
“Long enough to wipe the drool from your face.” she said smiling. 37
“Hey, come on now.” then whispering, "She’s a damn good looking woman.” and he laughed. 38
“Why don’t you ask her out then? She’s single ya know.” 39
“Well mayb...hey, wait a minute. What are you, 14? I’m discussing this with a 14 year old?” 40
“I’m 15 and just trying to help.” Dayna said. 41
John just smiled and patted her foot. He took out his pad and pencil and, as he was opening the pad, he looked up at the girl. 42
“FREDUDUDUDUDUD!” 43
“Hey, Fred, shush up now, ok?” Dayna said, addressing the man behind the curtain of the room with the glass door. 44
“How are you doing? Are you up to answering some questions?" Dayna nodded yes.
“Ok, let’s start with what did you see, Dayna? Can you give me a description of him?” 45
“Excuse me, detective, but I have to sedate her now.” Nurse Jennifer told him, as she walked up and began to swab Dayna’s arm. 46
Sirens and alarms began to go off through the hospital. Someone said there was a car accident right outside on Burdett Avenue and six people were injured. All but three of the emergency staff rushed out. Jennifer stayed inside with Dayna and John. She stopped swabbing Dayna’s arm and went to tend the front desk telling them she would be back as soon as possible. John sat back down. He was sitting there leaning back against the edge of the wall of the adjoining hallway when he noticed how quiet it was. Setting the front legs of the chair back on the floor, he scanned the hallway left and right then glanced across from him into the glass doors to look into the reflection of the hall running away behind him. Nothing. There was Nurse Jennifer standing now at the desk and glancing over at him she smiled. 47
He swept the area again when he caught his breath and a lump grew in his throat.
Looking down towards the far corridor up at the corner mirrors that reflect the halls and back to onrushing nurses he saw feet shuffling towards them. As he watched, the figure grew in size until he consumed the mirror. John stood up drawing his gun with his patented overhand grip. He stood with legs braced and aiming for the corner of the hall at the end of the corridor. He cocked his hammer as he stood staring into the mirror watching him come. It was him, he thought. He’s fucking here. He’s after the girls. Jennifer looked up and horror crossed her face.48
“Detective, what are you doing?” she said, as she began to rush forward. 49
“STOP! Stay back! He’s here.” John said, as he watched the shape move forward in the mirror. Dayna was sitting up now terrified looking back at the hall then back at John. 50
“Where? Where?” she was crying. 51
John was counting the steps now. One, two, three and he passed under the sight of the mirror and should round the corner NOW! Seconds ticked by and nothing.
No one came around the corner. There was no reflection in the mirror. What the fuck, he thought, and began to move forward towards the hall. Sideling up to the corner, he spun around into the corridor and there was no one there.
Sweat was now running down his face. He straightened up, dropped his gun to his side, and turned back to Jennifer and Dayna staring at him. 52
In Jessica’s room Sadie had begun to act up. She was pacing and then throwing herself against the door. “What’s the matter, girl? Huh? What’s the matter? Is something wrong? You want out? OK!” and Lenny opened the door and Sadie bolted through the door. 53
John walked back stopping at Dayna. He took her hand and started to say something then stopped. 54
“That’s ok, detective. It’s ok.” she said rubbing his hand. 55
“I’ll get you something to drink, detective.” Jennifer said, and she turned and headed back down to the main desk. John sat down, still holding his gun, putting his head in his hands and rubbing his eyes. 56
“FREDUDUDUDUDUD!” 57
“JESUS CHRIST WILL YOU SHUT THE FUC..." John started to say, and then he looked up and there, in the reflection of the glass doors standing behind him in the adjoining hall, was the shape holding a fire axe. 58
“HOLY SHIT!” John said, sliding down the seat onto the floor as the axe smashed into the wall above his head. 59
“Hello, detective, this is getting to be a habit. People are gonna talk.” the shape said sarcastically. 60
Dayna had begun to scream and Jennifer raced down the hall towards them.
“Oh Dayna, did you think I was going to let you go?” he said addressing Dayna. John rolled completely over and came up firing. The 44 was booming through the hospital taking chunks out of the wall as the shape ducked behind the corner laughing. 61
Dayna jumped out of bed and grabbed John’s arm. “Come on, pleaaase!” 62
“DAYNA, LET GO!” and before John could pull away, the shape came from around the corner swinging the axe, catching John with the back part of the weapon and knocking him to the ground. Jennifer rushed in front of Dayna as the killer turned towards them. 63
Suddenly a black and white streak shot past them in a fury of fangs and claws as Sadie launched herself at the evil shape, biting, snarling and knocking him back through the door way. Quickly John was up and shooting, catching him in the shoulder and spinning the shape completely around while Sadie was pulling at his leg.
Giving out a scream of agony, he swung his leg sending the dog sailing into the far wall and slammed the hall door shut. John stood poised and checked both sides of him. Jennifer and Dayna were all right. Sadie was back up leaping and growling at the door. John moved forward ushering Sadie away.
He gripped the handle and yanked the door open. The hallway was empty except for a black tarry substance. 64
“SHIT!” John said, and raced down the hallway with Sadie right along side of him. 65
After searching the hospital grounds and finding nothing, he made his way back to the main desk. Lenny was there with his sisters and Nurse Jennifer.
The bustle of the hospital had resumed with the exception of more cops now patrolling the grounds. 66
“Nobody came for them and I’m not leaving them here. They are coming home with me.” she said to John. 67
“Well I’m not leaving any of you alone so come on, I'll drive." he said, and the group left climbing into John’s vehicle and Jennifer directed him to her home.68
On the way she told him how her mother lived right next door and her sister and brother-in-law lived on the other side. She lived in a little cul-de-sac in a ranch style home. On the way John had an idea. When they got there, they went in through the front door and quickly out the back to the adjoining yards, and brought the kids to Jennifer’s mother's house after waking her and explaining what had happened. John was just taking precautions because he didn't want the kids in the line of fire if they were followed. 69
Later that night he sat in the living room watching TV with the sound down. The news was on and the hospital was crawling with officers and media. He already had 4 beers and then he got up and went to the kitchen to get another one.
Turning from the refrigerator he was startled by Jennifer standing there. Even in a sweat shirt and pants she was a knockout. Tears were running down her face. "I couldn’t sleep. I kept seeing him." He walked towards her and her eyes burned into him. “Why? Why did you come into my hospital?” she asked crying. Setting his beer down, he took her in his arms and kissed her. She at first kissed him back, then pushed him away and started to pound his chest.
“NO!” she said weakly. She began to turn away when he grabbed her wrist, pulled her back and spun her around bending her over the table. Before she even had any idea of what was happening, he had pulled her sweatpants down and dropped them to her ankles. She struggled weakly, moaning through tears noooooo, but he had already tore her panties from her body and, pushing up behind the nurse, he entered her driving in so hard it took her breath away. Her chin was resting on the table as she grunted and shook with each thrust. Then she turned her head to the side still resting on the table looking back at him trying to reach behind her with one arm swinging and hitting him once then twice. Then her hand grabbed his shirt hanging on, giving in as he drove into her even deeper and harder, it had been so long since anyone had touched her in this way. Her other arm swung wildly back and forth across the table knocking over the salt and pepper shakers, napkin holder and anything else on the table to the floor. She continued to grunt,groan and cry out, shaking in wave upon waves of orgasms as he pounded into her so hard the table slid across the floor until it rested up against the kitchen sink and could move no further.
John continued until he spent himself in her, collapsing over her back as she lay bent over the table trying to catch her breath, moaning. Then John stood up and pulled her to a standing position. He held her up as she collapsed against him.Lifting her arms above her head he pulled her sweatshirt up and off her.
She was naked now. He bent down, picked her up laying her head on his shoulder, and carried her through the kitchen, past the living room and into the bedroom shutting the door. 70
