Diane D Is Released Into Her Family's Custody For A While The following week, Teresa is inside her apartment sitting on the sofa as she dials a number on her smartphone. She puts the phone to her ear and listens. She then says,
"Hi Miss Margarita!"
"Hi Teresa!" Margarita says from the other end. "How are you today?"
"Pretty good! I heard that Diane was released from the hospital and is staying back at your place!"
"She is!"
"Oh that's good! I hear she's on house arrest. Is that true?"
"I'm afraid so Teresa."
"Oh I see. Well I just wanted to check on her and see how she's doing?"
"Diane is doing pretty good Teresa."
"She is?"
"So far."
"That's good. What is she doing now? Is she awake?"
"She was awake. She just went back to sleep not too long ago."
"She's sleeping right now?"
"Yes."
"Where is she sleeping, in her room?"
"No, she's sleeping in my bed."
"What! She's in your bed Miss Margarita?!"
"Yes."
"How come?"
"Diane is not allowed to be alone Teresa. I have to keep my eye on her. She has to be monitored, I don't trust her. She might secretly meditate again and the next thing we all know, is all that havoc might occur again. My family and I don't need that. We already been through enough."
"I understand. So does she remember anything that happened during her hypnosis?"
"Well the only thing she remembers during her hypnosis, is when the doctors had her identify us. She doesn't remember anything else before or after that."
"She doesn't?"
"No."
"She doesn't remember attacking the doctors or anything?"
"No. She doesn't remember attacking the doctors, she doesn't remember attacking the security guards, she doesn't remember attacking the priest, she doesn't remember attacking the police officers, she doesn't remember attacking the swat members nor she remembers what she said to me inside that bathroom in her hospital room that night."
"What! You told her about that part?"
"I certainly did."
"Oh my God! What did she say to that?"
"She said she doesn't remember any of that."
"She doesn't? She doesn’t remember any of that at all?"
269
"I'm afraid she doesn't Teresa. She said how would she get out of the hospital bed and go into the bathroom if she was suppose to had been bedridden."
"But you did find her in the bathroom that night."
"Yes I did. She just doesn't remember."
"Wooow that is something. Has she even seen the video of herself attacking the doctors, the security guards, the priest, the police officers and the swat team members yet?"
"No she hasn't. She hasn't been well. She has been bed ridden and was still in a lot of pain at the hospital, so we didn't want to make her feel any worse by letting her see that video of herself behaving like that."
"Yeah that's true. So what have you all done with Diane since she's been home?"
"Well we were all in my room late last night on the bed with Diane surrounding her while we were all watching a late night movie."
"Y'all were on the bed with Diane surrounding her while y'all were watching TV?"
"Yes. We were eating popcorn too while we were watching the movie."
"Y'all were?"
"Yes."
"Wow. How many of you all were on the bed together watching the late night movie with Diane?"
"Around fifteen of us, including Dana and her sisters."
"Oh Dana was there last night too?"
"Yeah. She had made Diane some soup yesterday afternoon."
"She did?"
"Yeah."
"Wow. Is Dana still there?"
"Well she stepped out for a minute to pick up some things for Diane, but she'll be back."
"Wow. It sounds like your family had a lot of fun with Diane last night. You all deserve to have a good time with her and have some peace after what you all been through with her condition. Wow Diane is really lucky to have all her family by her side. Not everyone has that."
"I know Teresa."
"Well, okay. Tell Diane I said hi and I hope she feels better."
"Thanks Teresa. I'll tell her you called."
"Thanks Miss Margarita. You take care."
"You too Teresa. Bye now."
"Bye." Teresa hangs up the smartphone.
The next day, Margarita is inside her kitchen as her cell phone rings. She picks up her phone and looks at it. She puts the phone to her ear and says, "Hey Teresa."
"Hi Miss Margarita," Teresa says from her apartment. "How is everything?"
"So far so good."
"That's good. How's Diane doing?"
"Not too good Teresa."
"No? Why? What happened?"
"Yesterday we decided to tell her about what happened with that kid Marcus."
270
"What! You told her about Marcus?!"
"We sure did Teresa. We felt the time was right to tell her about what happened to him."
"Oh no! How did she take it?"
"She is real devastated by it Teresa!"
"She is?"
"Of course she is! Even though she knew that Marcus was afraid of her and terrified of her, she would not want him to kill himself! She's sad about what happened to him! She would like to give condolences to Marcus' family, but she thinks she's the last person on earth that Marcus' family would want to see!"
"Oh Lord!"
"We also told her about what happened inside the hypnosis room during her hypnosis."
"Oh no! What did you tell her?!"
"We told her everything about what she said during her hypnosis!"
"You did!"
"Yes! We also told her everything about her physical body being wrapped in chains and chained to the psychiatrist couch!"
"What! You told her that?!"
"Yes! We also told her about herself breaking loose from the chains breaking the chains loose from the psychiatrist couch, that's where the bruises on her body came from!"
"You told her that too?!"
"Yes! We also told her about herself attacking the doctors then lifting up the psychiatrist couch, spinning it around in the air then throwing it across the room at the security guards, the priest, the police officers and a swat team!"
"You told her all of that too?!"
"Yes!"
"What did she say to that?!"
"She didn't believe us Teresa!"
"She didn't?!"
"No!"
"What about the video recording of her hypnosis?! Did you all show her that?!"
"Her doctor don't think it's the time to show her the video of her hypnosis yet."
"No?"
"No."
"My goodness! What is Diane doing now?"
"She's laying down on the bed very upset about what happened to Marcus."
"She is?"
"Yes."
"Oh my goodness! Is there anything I can do for Diane Miss Margarita?"
"No Teresa. She's just going to have to way it out right now."
"I'm so sorry about this."
"Yes we all are. Well I have to go now Teresa."
"Okay Miss Margarita. Tell Diane I said hi and I'll try to see her soon."
"Okay Teresa. Take care now."
"You too Miss Margarita. Bye."
271
"Bye Teresa." Margarita hangs up her cell phone. Barry walks into the kitchen with a coffee cup in his hand. Margarita turns to him and says, "Where's Diane? Is she still laying down in the bed?"
"Not anymore Mom," Barry says. "She got up."
"She did? What is she doing now?"
"She's about to get in the shower."
"She's about to get in the shower?! Is anybody going to watch her?! I don't want Diane alone in there! I don't want her to go behind our backs and start meditating while she's in the shower!"
"I know. Marilyn is getting ready to go in there and watch her."
"Marilyn stepped out for a minute, she's not here! Someone else would have to be in the bathroom to watch Diane!"
"Well Dana is still sleeping. I can wake her up and tell her to go in the bathroom to watch Diane."
"Dana?!"
"Yeah."
"That's a bad move Barry! I mean Dana is no better than Diane! If you put Dana in the bathroom to watch Diane and Diane decides to meditate right there in the shower, Dana probably won't even stop her! She'll probably just meditate right there along with Diane! Since she has meditated right along with Diane before, she needs to be watched at all times herself to make sure she doesn't go along and starts meditating with Diane again! Where's Nancy?"
"Nancy is upstairs in her room."
"Well tell Nancy I said to get herself inside that bathroom with Diane to watch Diane while Diane is taking a shower! Tell her to keep her eyes on Diane and not to take her eyes off Diane at all!"
"Okay Mom." Barry turns and heads out the kitchen doorway.
Twenty minutes later, Nancy is standing in the bathroom near the shower curtain which is practically halfway opened with her arms folded. She is holding a large towel around her arms and a gold garment underneath the towel. She is looking behind the halfway opened shower curtain at Diane D while Diane D is behind the shower curtain taking a shower. Nancy then says to Diane D, "Is it you this time Diane?"
"Yeah it's me Nancy," Diane D's voice calmly says.
"Are you sure it's you?"
"Yes I'm sure Nancy. It's me."
"Okay good." Nancy continues to look behind the shower curtain at Diane D. She suddenly gets a shocked and surprised look on her face and shouts, "Diane! Your eyes are puffy, just like the night I had that encounter with your other personality! Is it YOU
this time?!"
"Nancy, my eyes always get puffy whenever I take a shower and water hits my face, you know that."
"Oh that's right," Nancy smiles and says. She gives a sigh of relief and says, "What a relief! Because I was about to run right out of here!"
"Run out of here?"
"Yeah!"
"Why?"
272
"Because I don't want to go through what I went through with you that night Diane, seeing that strange appearance on your face, seeing your strange behavior and hearing you say stuff like 'you're not Diane' that 'Diane is not here right now that she will be back'! It was scary to hear you talk like that!"
"You don't need to worry Nancy. It's me."
"Are you sure?!"
"Yes I'm sure."
"Okay, prove that it is really YOU. What did we do last night?"
"What did we do last night?"
"Yeah."
"We were playing cards last night."
"Okay. What did we do the night before?"
"We were watching a movie in Grandma and Grandpa's room late the other night."
"So you remember that."
"Yeah I remember that."
"Good, I just want to make sure it's you."
"It's me Nancy."
"Good. But really, are you sure it's YOU this time Diane?"
"Yeah Nancy!"
"Okay, okay." The shower water goes off. Nancy then asks, "Are you finished?"
"Yeah I'm done."
"Okay." Nancy continues to look behind the halfway opened shower curtain at Diane D. She then asks, "How are the bruises on your arms, legs and shoulders doing?
Do they still hurt?"
"Yeah I'm still hurting from them."
"You're still hurting from them?"
"Yeah."
"That means you're feeling pain?"
"Yes I'm feeling pain Nancy."
"So it is YOU! As long as you feel pain, I know it's YOU Diane."
"Yes Nancy I'm feeling pain from whatever happened."
"From whatever happened? You still don't remember what happened during your hypnosis Diane?"
"No I don't remember what happened Nancy. All I know, is that I have bruises all over myself and I'm still hurting from them."
"Wow, sorry that you're going through this. You need help with anything?"
"No that's okay Nancy. I got it. I just have to take it real slow."
"Oh. Okay." Nancy continues to look behind the shower curtain at Diane D. She then looks up in the air thinking. Loud clanking noises suddenly comes from behind the shower curtain. Nancy looks back at Diane D and asks, "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah," Diane D's voice says. "I just want to clean off these scrub brushes."
"Oh, okay," Nancy says. Diane D starts making loud sounds cleaning the scrub brushes as Nancy continues to watch her behind the curtain. Nancy then says, "Oh by the way Diane, Miranda and Bernice designed and made an outfit for you."
"They did?"
"Yeah. They said they want me to put the outfit on you whenever I get the chance.
See? Here's the outfit, look." Nancy pulls the gold garment from underneath the towel.
273
She holds a gold shirt and gold pants outfit up to show Diane D. Nancy smiles behind the shower curtain at Diane D. She puzzled looks at Diane D and says, "What, you don't like it?"
"It's okay."
"Come on Diane. I can tell you wasn't too enthusiast with this outfit because you just looked at it, then looked away from it and didn't say anything. You just went about your business." Nancy starts to laugh and say, "I could tell you don't like this outfit, do you Diane?"
"It's okay Nancy."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Okaaay." Nancy places the gold outfit back underneath the towel as she continues to watch Diane D.
Diane D continues to make loud sounds cleaning the scrub brushes as Nancy continues to watch her. She then says, "You can hand me the towel Nancy."
"Okay, here." Nancy hands the towel to Diane D. She continues to look behind the shower watching Diane D drying up. She then says, "So Diane, how do you feel about that kid Marcus taking his own life?"
"How do I feel about it?"
"Yeah."
"I feel bad for him Nancy."
"You do?"
"Of course I do."
"Why?"
"What do you mean 'why'? Why shouldn't I feel bad for him? I think it was his own demons that got the best of him."
"You think it was his own demons that got the best of him?"
"Yeah. I think his own demons caused him to be afraid of me even though I wasn't thinking about him."
"You think so?"
"Yeah I think so. If he would have only accepted my forgiveness, I think his own subconscious would have saved him from the torture of his own mind."
"You think it was his own mind torturing him?"
"Well what else could it be Nancy? No one else was around that kid harming him. I wasn't around him. I wasn't anywhere near him when he killed himself, I was in the hospital, you all saw me there. The last time I was anywhere near that kid was three years ago inside the school hallway that night when I started backing away from him then saw him from down the corner of the hallway. That was the last time I saw him or was near him. I think his own mind caused him to take his own life."
"Wow." Nancy continues to look behind the shower watching Diane D drying up.
Five minutes later, Diane D is slightly limping down the upstairs hallway outside the bedrooms dressed in a dark green robe drying her damp hair with a towel as Nancy follows behind her. Diane D turns and heads towards her bedroom as Nancy continues to follow her and says, "Grandma will be up here to rub some mineral oil on your back."
"Okay," Diane D says as she heads into her bedroom. Nancy follows Diane D into 274
the bedroom as she closes the door behind herself.
A few days later, Nicolas, Mickey, Nancy, Charlotte and Michael are standing in the kitchen as Margarita stands in front of them and says, "Diane is gonna stay at Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's house for a while. I'm gonna send her there Sunday."
"You are?" Nicolas asks.
"Yes. Not only am I going to send her there, I'm sending you all there also."
"You're sending us there too?" Nancy asks.
"Yes."
"How come Grandma?" Charlotte asks.
"To help keep an eye on Diane, to make sure that she does not secretly meditate again. Not only do I need you all to help keep an eye on Diane, I need you all to help keep an eye on Dana as well."
"Dana too?" Mickey asks.
"Yes, to make sure she does not go along with Diane and meditate with her, just in case Diane tries to sneak off and influence Dana to try to meditate with her again. I don't want Dana to get influenced by Diane anymore if Diane tries to meditate again.
So I need you all to help keep a close eye on Dana too! I don't want her and Diane alone together, a third person has to be in the same room with them at all times, okay?"
"Okay Grandma," Nicolas says. "We'll try our best."
"Okay good. Now your Grandpa Tomas and two probation officers are going to drive Diane to Queens this coming Sunday, and I want the rest of you all to be packed by Sunday also because you all are going to be riding in the van with them."
"Okay Grandma," Nicolas, Mickey, Nancy, Charlotte and Michael say.
A week later one afternoon, Margarita is inside her office at the organization sitting behind her desk. She is neatly pulling and ripping some papers apart. There is a knock at the door. Margarita looks towards the door and says, "Come in!"
The door opens. Alex walks into the office and says, "Hey Margarita."
"Hey Alex."
"What's going on? I thought you'd be away for a while taking care of Diane."
"I was, but Diane went to her other grandparents' house in Queens."
"Who Gracy and Mike?"
"Yeah, she went there a few days ago. She's staying over their place for a while."
"She is? So they're going to be taking care of her?"
"Yes, she's in their custody also. I sent Nicolas, Mickey, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte over there with her."
"You did? They're all staying at Gracy and Mike's house too?"
"Yes."
"Why did you send them all there with Diane?"
"Oh so they can all help keep an eye on Diane and Dana."
"Dana too?"
"Yeah. The more eyes that are kept on Diane and Dana, the better."
"Isn't Diane still on probation or house arrest?"
"Yes she's still on probation and house arrest. That's why she's in my family's 275
custody. She'll be back and forth between my home and Gracy and Mike's home until she goes back into the mental hospital. While she's staying at Gracy and Mike's place, that'll give me some time to catch up on some work here."
"Oh I see. Is she still wearing that ankle monitor while she's at Gracy and Mike's house?"
"Of course she is. It doesn't matter whose house she's staying at, she's still gonna have that ankle monitor strapped around her ankle."
"I see. You need help with anything?"
"Sure. I need you to take these papers to my other office."
"Sure." Alex takes the papers off the desk. He then turns and walks towards the doorway.
Later that night in Queens, NY, Diane D, Nancy and Charlotte are in one of the upstairs bedrooms inside Gracy and Grandpa Mike's house sitting on the beds chit-chatting. Charlotte then says to Diane D, "You're still not able to walk well Diane?"
"No not yet Charlotte," Diane D says.
"How did your therapy go today?" Nancy asks.
"Pretty good. I'm slowly getting my strength back."
"Oh that's good. Besides, you left your crutches downstairs. I brought them upstairs for you. I left it in Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room. I'll go get it."
Nancy is about to get off the bed.
"No stay there Nancy. I'll go get the crutches. I need the exercise anyway to help with my therapy. I'll be back."
"You said that last time Diane. You never came back."
"I'll be back Nancy. Where am I gonna go? I can't get too far anyway, not with this ankle monitor strapped around my ankle."
"Okay Diane. Make sure you come back."
"Okay Nancy." Diane D gets up off the bed. She turns and slightly limps towards the doorway. She then walks out the doorway and leaves the room.
Around thirty minutes later, Nancy and Charlotte are still inside the bedroom chit-chatting. Charlotte looks towards the bedroom door. She then says, "Oh oh, Diane is taking a while to come back in here. Why is she taking a while to come back with the crutches?" Charlotte and Nancy frighteningly look at each other.
"Oh no, not again!" Nancy shouts. "I hope she didn't pass out like she did before, then came back a totally different person!"
"Well this is why Grandma says that Diane has to be watched at all times! We got to go to Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room to check on Diane to make sure she's okay!"
"No, Charlotte, I'm scared! After what I went through encountering that other personality of hers, I'm afraid I might run into it again! It was scary to hear Diane or whatever talk like that! That was a bad experience for me and I hope I never go through that again!"
"Well we just can't sit here and not know what's going on with Diane, knowing her history!"
"I know. Hey. Why don't we just call out to her and hope she answers."
276
"Yeah you're right. Let's do it."
"Okay."
"Ready? One two three."
"Diane!" Charlotte and Nancy shout. They do not hear a response.
"Why isn't she answering?" Charlotte nervously asks. "I'm sure she could hear us from Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room!"
"I'm sure she can too," Nancy says. "Let's try it again. One two three."
"Diane!" Charlotte and Nancy shout again. They still do not hear a response.
"She's still not answering!" Charlotte nervously shouts.
"I know!" Nancy nervously shouts.
"She didn't secretly meditate earlier did she?"
"She couldn't have meditated earlier because she was never left alone! Somebody in the family would have saw her doing it!"
"But what if Dana saw Diane meditating but didn't stop her, but instead meditated right along with Diane like she's done before?!"
"Dana was never alone with Diane Charlotte! Somebody was always with her and Diane when they were together!" Charlotte and Nancy worriedly look at each other.
Nancy then says, "I think we better go to Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room together to check and see if Diane is in there. If she's not there in the room and Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike are not there, let's call out and scream to Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike so they can get Diane."
"Okay." Charlotte and Nancy get off the beds. They approach each other and nervously hold on to each other then turn towards the doorway. They nervously walk towards the doorway. They then leave the room.
Charlotte and Nancy step into the well lit upstairs hallway. They look around the hallway and see no sign of Diane D. They start to walk towards the master bedroom.
Charlotte and Nancy approach the master bedroom doorway. They look into the master bedroom and do not see anyone in there. "Nobody is in here," Nancy says. She turns to Charlotte and says, "I'm scared to go downstairs and run into that other personality! Let's call out to Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike so they can get Diane."
"Wait a minute," Charlotte says. She looks towards Dana's bedroom and says, "I think Dana is in her room. Maybe Diane is in the room with her!"
"Oh no! That means they're both alone in there!"
"Maybe not! Let's go check to see if Diane is in Dana's room with her. If she's not there, then let's see if Dana can go get her."
"But we will have to go with Dana to keep her from being alone with Diane!"
"Okay then we'll just have to go with her!" Charlotte and Nancy turn and start to head down the hallway towards Dana's bedroom.
Charlotte and Nancy approach Dana's bedroom doorway. They look in the room and see Dana in there stacking some empty boxes on top of a shelf. They do not see anyone else in the room with her. "Dana!" Charlotte and Nancy call out to her. Dana turns her head towards Charlotte and Nancy as she continues to stack some boxes.
"What's up Dana?" Charlotte says.
"What's up?" Dana says. She puzzled looks at Charlotte and Nancy and says,
"What's wrong with y'all? Are you two alright?"
277
"Yeah," Nancy says. "We were just worried about where did Diane go? She never came back in the other room."
"She was supposed to come back in there?"
"Yeah."
"Well she went downstairs."
"She did?"
"Yeah. I told her that I was going to make her some chicken soup so she went downstairs to the kitchen to wait for me."
"Oh she's downstairs in the kitchen?"
"Yeah."
"Are you going down there now?"
"In a few minutes. Why, what's wrong?"
"Diane was supposed to go in Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room to get her crutches and come back into the room with us. She never came back. We went and checked Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike's room, she's not in there either so we got worried."
"You got worried?"
"Yeah."
"You don't have to worry, she's downstairs in the kitchen." Dana continues to stack the boxes.
"Is anybody down in the kitchen with her, or is she alone down there?"
"I think she's alone down there."
"What!" Charlotte and Nancy shout. "Alone down there?!"
"Are you able to go down there now to check on her Dana?" Charlotte asks. "Nancy and I just want to put our mind at ease and make sure she's okay."
"Put your mind at ease?" Dana asks.
"Yeah."
"Well if you want to put your mind at ease, just go down to the kitchen and check on her, simple as that."
"Well can you go down to the kitchen and check on her for us Dana? We're kind of afraid to go down there."
Dana stops stacking the boxes as she turns to Charlotte and says, "You're afraid to go down to the kitchen?"
"Well yeah."
"Why?"
"Because Diane could be secretly meditating while she's down in the kitchen waiting for you!"
"So what. What's wrong with her meditating?"
"What's wrong with her meditating?!" Charlotte and Nancy shout.
"Dana don't you know that strange things usually occur whenever Diane meditates?!" Nancy shouts.
"Yeah," Dana says. "But those strange things have nothing to do with her meditating."
"What!" Nancy and Charlotte shouts.
"It doesn't?" Charlotte asks."
"No," Dana says.
"So what do you think it is then?"
278
"I think they're coincidences."
"Coincidences!" Charlotte and Nancy shout.
"You think when Diane gets into these state of trances during her meditation, it's a coincidence?" Charlotte asks.
"Yeah," Dana says.
"Wow. Well could you go downstairs to check on her? We don't want to run into that other personality of hers just in case it emerges out of her again."
"That other personality? Is that what's bothering y'all?"
"Yeah, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what?"
"The other personality."
"No."
"You're not!" Charlotte and Nancy shockingly shout.
"No."
"Why not?!" Charlotte shouts.
"Because there's no such thing."
"What!" Charlotte and Nancy shout. "There's no such thing?!"
"You don't believe in split personalities Dana?" Nancy worriedly asks.
"No," Dana says.
"You don't believe that another personality caused Diane to attack the doctors, a priest, security guards, police officers and a swat team?!"
"No."
"Then what do you believe happened then?"
"I believe Diane attacked them and got so angry that she forgot she did it."
"What!" Nancy and Charlotte shout.
"You believe her original personality attacked those people and she simply forgot?"
Charlotte asks.
"Yeah because she was so angry that she blocked it out," Dana says. "That could happen to anybody."
"It could?! Something like that?!"
"Yeah."
"A person cannot forget something like that Dana."
"Yes they could, if they get mad enough and wind up blocking it out. That's what I believe happened to Diane."
"So you don't believe it was another personality?" Nancy asks.
"No."
"What about when Diane broke loose from those chains she was wrapped in breaking it loose from the couch she was chained to? Then lifting that heavy couch and throwing it across the room?! You don't think it was another personality?"
"No I don't. Like I said, coincidences, coincidences."
"So you don't believe in split personalities at all?"
"No I don't believe in that."
"Wow, neither does Diane! She doesn't believe in split personalities either and yet SHE'S the one who's actually suffering from it! Oh my goodness." Nancy and Charlotte worriedly look at each other. Then they worriedly look at Dana. Nancy then says,
"Well could you just go downstairs to check on Diane anyway?"
"Hold on. I'm coming." Dana pushes the boxes way in the back of the upper shelf.
279
She turns towards Charlotte and Nancy and starts to head towards them.
Dana approaches Charlotte and Nancy and says, "Let's go." She then goes past Charlotte and Nancy and heads out the doorway as Nancy and Charlotte turn and follow her.
Dana is walking in the upstairs hallway towards the stairs. Nancy and Charlotte rush to Dana and hold on to her arms and shoulders as they hide their faces behind her back and shoulders. Dana stops and says to them, "What's the matter?"
"We're scared," Charlotte says.
"Scared? Scared of what?"
"That other personality!"
"I told you, there's no such thing."
"Listen Dana," Nancy says. "I saw and met that other personality face to face, and I do not want to see or meet that other personality again. We have to get to Diane before she decides to secretly meditate while no one is watching her."
Dana continues to go forward as Charlotte and Nancy continue to hold on to her.
A minute later, Dana is having difficulty walking down the stairs with Charlotte and Nancy walking behind her holding tightly and nervously on to her arms and shoulders continuing to hide their faces behind her back and shoulders.
Dana comes down the bottom of the stairs with Nancy and Charlotte still holding on to her hiding their faces behind her back and shoulders. She, Nancy and Charlotte walk to the living room then enter the living room.
Dana, Nancy and Charlotte are in the living room as Nancy and Charlotte peek their faces from behind Dana and look around. They see Nicolas sleeping on the sofa. They then turn and head to the kitchen.
Dana, Nancy and Charlotte enter the kitchen. Dana then calls out, "Diane!" Nancy and Charlotte peek their faces from behind Dana's shoulders and look around. They do not see Diane D anywhere.
"Where is she?" Charlotte worriedly asks.
"Maybe she's in the basement," Dana says.
"Basement?!" Charlotte and Nancy worriedly shout.
"Oh no!" Charlotte shouts. "She's probably down there right now meditating! Can you go down the basement and check Dana? I'm scared to go down there."
"Yeah me too," Nancy says.
"Okay," Dana says. "I'll go down there."
"Okay good. But you can't go down there alone Dana. We're not allowed to have you and Diane alone just in case she tries to get you to meditate with her."
"Is that what you're worried about?"
"Yeah. That's what we're all worried about Dana."
"Okay. If it makes you feel better, I won't meditate with Diane."
"You won't?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
280
"Promise you won't meditate with Diane, even if she tries to get you to meditate with her."
"I promise I won't meditate with her, even if she tries to get me to do it."
"Are you sure Dana?"
"I'm sure."
"Good." Nancy and Charlotte let go of Dana's arms and shoulders.
Dana turns to them and says, "Don't worry girls. I'll be back."
"Okay Dana."
Dana turns and starts to head to the basement steps. She approaches the basement steps then goes down the dark basement steps. Charlotte and Nancy nervously watch Dana go down the basement steps.
Fifteen minutes later, Charlotte and Nancy are in the kitchen sitting down at the table chit-chatting as Charlotte says to Nancy, "So you think Dana is in denial?"
"Of course she's in denial Charlotte," Nancy says. "After all, she does meditate right along with Diane."
"Well maybe that's why she sees nothing wrong with it. You think she was saying all those things are coincidences to throw off our suspicion?"
"Of course she wants to throw off our suspicion because she has been caught being in a state of trance right along with Diane and I don't think she be aware of herself being in a state of trance either."
"She doesn't?"
"No. When Grandma Gracy, Uncle Willie and Nicolas told Dana that they saw her in a state of trance right along with Diane, Dana didn't seem to remember it."
"She didn't?"
"No. She had no idea what Grandma Gracy, Uncle Willie and Nicolas were talking about."
"Wow."
"That's why Grandma wants her to be watched as well."
"Is Grandma still planning to make arrangements for Dana to get counseling?"
"Oh yeeaahh. She and Grandpa were on the phone talking with Grandma Gracy and Grandpa Mike this afternoon."
"They were?"
"Yeah. They were all talking about making arrangements for Dana to have counseling."
"Oh boy!" Charlotte looks towards the kitchen doorway. She then whispers, "Oh oh, now Dana is taking a while to come back up here!" Charlotte and Nancy frighteningly look at each other. They then look towards the kitchen doorway.
"Oh no!" Nancy whispers. "Not her too! This is why Grandma says that Dana needs to be watched at all times while she's with Diane! Now we have to call out to her and hope she answers!"
"Okay! Ready? One two three."
"Dana!" Charlotte and Nancy shout. They do not hear a response.
"She's not answering either!" Charlotte nervously shouts. "And I'm sure she could hear us from the basement!"
"Let's try it again," Nancy says.
281
"Dana!" Charlotte and Nancy shout again. They still do not hear a response.
"She's still not answering!" Charlotte nervously shouts.
"I know!" Nancy nervously shouts. "First Diane disappears right inside this house, now Dana does! I mean what the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know! Diane can't get too far with that ankle monitor on her foot!"
"I know!"
"You think when Dana went downstairs, she probably caught Diane secretly meditating or caught her in a state of trance and is trying to snap her out of the trance before we and the rest of the family get suspicious and find out about it?"
"It's a possibility Charlotte. Maybe that's why she's taking a while to come back up the stairs, unless, Diane succeeded in influencing Dana to meditate right along with her again and Dana just went along with it and meditated with Diane anyway because she sees nothing wrong with it."
"But Dana made a promise that she wouldn't meditate with Diane! I hope she didn't lie to me about it just to keep me quiet."
"I hope not either. If Dana doesn't hurry and show up with Diane, then we have to go in the living room to wake Nicolas up to go get them." Nancy and Charlotte suddenly hear a couple of footsteps and voices coming up the basement steps. They nervously look at each other. "I think I hear their footsteps coming," Nancy whispers.
"I hear it too. I think Dana found Diane." Charlotte and Nancy hear the voices coming towards the kitchen. They look towards the kitchen entryway and see Dana entering the kitchen.
"Dana!" Charlotte and Nancy shout.
"Diane's coming," Dana says as she enters the kitchen. She turns to Nancy and Charlotte and says, "Are you two okay now?"
"Yeah we're fine Dana," Charlotte smiles and says.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah we're sure Dana," Nancy smiles and says. "We're fine. Thanks."
"Okay." Dana turns and heads towards the stove.
Charlotte and Nancy look towards the kitchen entryway again and see Diane D who appears to be normal entering the kitchen. They become excited and shout, "Diane!"
"Hey girls!" Diane D says as she limps into the kitchen.
"My goodness Diane!" Nancy says. "Where have you been?!"
"I'm sorry it took so long for me to come back upstairs to the room, but I was down in the basement talking with Michael, Mickey and Uncle Willie."
"What?" Nancy and Charlotte say.
"Michael, Mickey and Uncle Willie?" Charlotte says. "They're down in the basement?"
"Yeah," Diane D says.
"Oh, we didn't know they were down there."
"Yeah they are."
"Wow," Nancy says. "You seem normal Diane."
"I seem normal? What do you mean 'I seem normal'?"
"You still seem like yourself."
"I still seem like myself?"
"Yeah."
282
"Well why wouldn't I be myself?"
"Oh never mind. I'm just happy that you're okay."
"I feel okay Nancy."
Nancy and Charlotte laugh and both give a sigh of relief. Nancy then says to Diane D, "You haven't secretly meditated lately have you?"
"No I haven't secretly meditated lately because you know why? First of all, Grandma and Grandpa forbid me from meditating anymore and second, even if I want to secretly meditate, I can't, not with the way Grandma have everyone in the family watching my every move."
Nancy and Charlotte laugh again. Michael, Mickey and Uncle Willie suddenly enter the kitchen as Michael says, "Good evening Nancy and Charlotte."
"Hey Michael, Mickey, Uncle Willie," Charlotte and Nancy say.
"Hey girls," Uncle Willie says. "Why didn't you two come down the stairs with Dana?"
"Yeah," Mickey says. "We were watching the game."
"Y'all were?" Charlotte asks.
"Yeah." Mickey looks towards Dana and says, "I decided to have some Gumbo soup too Dana."
"Yeah me too," Uncle Willie says.
"Okay," Dana says as she puts a large pot on the stove. Uncle Willie, Mickey and Michael start to sit at the table and chit chat with Diane D, Nancy and Charlotte. Dana turns to Nancy and Charlotte and asks, "You two want some Gumbo soup?"
"Gumbo soup?" Charlotte says. "I thought you were gonna make chicken soup."
"I was but I changed my mind because Diane decided she wants Gumbo soup instead of chicken soup."
"Oh. Okay. I guess I'll have some Gumbo soup too."
"Me too," Nancy says.
Nicolas suddenly enters the kitchen awoken from his sleep in the living room as he stretches his arms. "Hey Nicolas," everyone says.
"What's going on?" Nicolas asks.
"I'm getting ready to make Gumbo for everybody," Dana says. "You want some?"
"Gumbo soup sounds good. Yeah I'll have some Dana, thanks."
"Are there any crackers in the house?" Nancy asks.
"Yeah," Dana says. "It's in the cabinet."
"Okay, I'll get it." Nancy gets up from the chair. She turns to Diane D and says,
"You want some crackers Diane?"
"Sure," Diane D says. "Why not." Diane D and Nancy chit-chat as they turn and walk towards the cabinet with Diane D still slightly limping.
Three days later, Gracy and Nicolas are in the kitchen preparing breakfast as Grandpa Mike, Aunt Celeste, Aunt Laura, Aunt Jean, Uncle Willie and Mickey sit at the large kitchen table. Nicolas turns to Grandpa Mike and says, "You ready for your coffee Grandpa?"
"Yes I'm ready Nicolas," Grandpa Mike says as he sits at the end of the table. "Are the girls coming down for breakfast?"
"Yeah. Missy, Landa and Londa are all still upstairs trying on some new make-up.
283
They want to try the new make-up on Dana."
"Oh yeah?" Aunt Celeste says. "Dana doesn't wear make-up."
"The girls know that. That's why they want to try the new make-up on her to see how it looks on her."
"I see." Suddenly the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it," Nicolas says. He turns and heads towards the living room.
Nicolas goes through the living room to the front door. He approaches the front door and looks through the peephole. He opens the front door and sees Teresa standing outside of it. "Hey Teresa," he says.
"Hey Nicolas," Teresa says. "How are you?"
"I'm okay and yourself?"
"Pretty good. I just want to know if it's alright if I visit Diane?"
"I'm not sure if Diane is allowed anybody to visit her while she's on house arrest Teresa."
"Oh."
"But let me ask my grandparents. Hold on." Nicolas closes the front door. He turns and heads back towards the kitchen.
Nicolas enters the kitchen and says, "Grandma Grandpa, Teresa is at the door. She wants to know if she can visit Diane."
"Diane is on house arrest Nicolas, "Grandpa Mike says. "She's not allowed any visitors. If they're not family, they cannot come in here and visit her."
"Well Teresa might not be family," Gracy says, "but she has been a friend of Diane's and Dana's for a long time. I guess it won't hurt if she sees Diane real quick."
"Okay. She can visit Diane real quick, but she cannot stay too long."
"Okay Grandpa," Nicolas says.
"Before you let her in, go upstairs and let Diane know that she's out there and see if it's okay with her for Teresa to come in and visit her."
"Okay Grandpa." Nicolas turns and heads back out the kitchen.
Three minutes later, Nicolas comes back into the kitchen. He says, "Diane says okay. She says Teresa can visit her real quick."
"Are you sure it's alright with her Nicolas?" Grandpa Mike asks.
"Yeah she says it's alright only for a few minutes because she says she's not really up to any visitors anyway, but Teresa can come up real quick."
"Okay, let her in, but she cannot stay too long."
"Okay Grandpa." Nicolas turns and heads back towards the front door.
Nicolas opens the front door and says, "Come in Teresa." Nicolas lets Teresa in.
Teresa nervously enters the house as Nicolas says to her, "You can visit Diane real quick, but not for long because she's still under house arrest."
"Does she still have that ankle monitor wrapped around her ankle?" Teresa asks.
"Yes she still does."
"Wow."
"Now whatever you do, don't mention or ask Diane anything about what happened inside that hypnosis room because all she's going to do is deny it and says she did not 284
do it, then she's not gonna want to talk about it."
"Okay I won't mention anything to her about it or ask her anything about it."
"Thanks."
"So I'll ask you. Since you were one of the family members who was there inside that hypnosis room and witnessed everything from beginning to end, did Diane really do all that stuff that happened inside the hypnosis room? Did she really break the chains she was wrapped in loose from the couch then threw that couch right across the room?"
"Well Teresa, all I can say is, that it WAS her body that did do all that stuff."
"It was her body?"
"Yeah. Now her mind is another story. Her mind was not there."
"Wow."
"From what my family and I heard, it was not Diane who was speaking when she threatened the doctors. Yeah we see Diane talking and see her physical mouth moving, but it's like we heard someone else saying all those things."
"Wow! I can imagine how creepy that was!"
"It was very creepy Teresa. My family and I are still haunted by it."
"I bet you are!"
"Let's take you up to Diane."
"Okay. Is Dana here?"
"Yeah Dana is here. She and her sisters are upstairs. I think Linda is still laying on the bed. Come on." Nicolas turns and leads Teresa towards the stairs.
Nicolas is walking in the upstairs hallway as Teresa follows behind him. Nicolas heads towards one of the bedroom doorways.
Nicolas goes into the doorway and sees Linda in the room laying in one of the beds reading. He then says, "Hey Linda." Linda turns to Nicolas as he says to her, "Where's Diane?"
"Oh she just went to the bathroom to get some dental floss," Linda says.
"She did?"
"Yeah. She's coming back."
"Okay. Is it okay for Teresa to wait for Diane in here with you?"
"Yeah she can come in here."
"Thanks Linda." Nicolas turns to Teresa and says, "You can wait for Diane in here with Linda. I'll tell her you're in here."
"Okay Nicolas," Teresa says. Teresa goes into the room as Nicolas turns and walks away.
Teresa sees Linda and says, "What's up Linda? How's it going?"
"Okay I guess," Linda says.
"Good. Are you tired?"
"No. Just resting. Have a seat."
"Thanks." Teresa sits down on the other bed. She then asks, "So where's Dana?"
"Dana just went into my grandparents' room with my other sisters."
"She did?"
"Yeah."
"She knows I'm here?"
285
"Oh. Okay. Where's Michael?"
"He went to the pharmacy to pick up Diane's medication."
"He did?"
"Yeah. He'll be back soon."
"Okay." Teresa turns around and suddenly sees a serious looking Diane D standing in the doorway wearing a white bustier and black leggings baring her muscular physique with her long black hair down and bangs around her forehead wearing an ankle monitor around her left ankle and holding a dental floss. "Diane!" Teresa nervously says. "What's up Diane?"
"What's up Teresa?" Diane D says as she comes into the room with the dental floss.
"How you doing?"
"I'm okay Teresa," Diane D says as she approaches the foot of the bed.
"So how is everything? Is everything okay?"
"Everything's okay Teresa," Diane D says as she sits down at the foot of the bed.
She still has slight bruises on her body.
"Good. I just came to see how you doing."
"I'm doing okay," Diane D says as she grabs a chair and places the chair in front of herself.
"You are?"
"Yeah," Diane D says as she puts a mirror on the chair.
"Good. How are your bruises doing? I see you still have them. Are they getting better?"
Diane D takes a quick look at her arm and says, "It's healing."
"It is?"
"Yeah," Diane D says as she takes the dental floss case and pulls some floss out of the case.
"Good. How's your Grandma Margarita?"
"She's good," Diane D says as she takes the floss.
"She is?"
"Yeah."
"Where is she? Is she here?"
"No, she's still up in Westchester."
"She is?"
"Yeah. Let me just use this dental floss real quick Teresa, and I'll get back to you."
"Oh. Okay."
Diane D bends a little towards the mirror and looks into the mirror. She opens her mouth, takes both hands and gently starts using the floss on her teeth as Teresa watches her. Teresa sadly looks at Diane D. She then looks at the ankle monitor wrapped around Diane D's left ankle as Diane D continues to use the dental floss.
Teresa then turns and looks at Linda and sees Linda sitting up on the bed looking at and using her smartphone. She turns and looks back at Diane D as Diane D continues to bend down to the mirror using the dental floss.
Two weeks later, Diane D is back at Margarita and Tomas' mansion in Northern Westchester, NY. She is sitting in the living room with Michael, Mary, Barry, Tomas, 286
Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas as she and Michael sit on the couch together with Michael holding and hugging onto her as she leans against him. They are all facing a large flat screen TV which is blank. Margarita then enters the living room. She walks to the flat screen TV. She then goes in front of the flat screen TV and stands in front of everybody facing everybody. She then shouts, "Okay listen up everybody!" Everyone faces and looks at Margarita as she shouts, "We are about to watch the video of Diane's hypnosis!
We are getting ready to show her the video of her hypnosis! Are we all ready to show her?"
"I don't know Grandma," Michael says. "I don't know if I want to even see that video. It's like living through that horror all over again!"
"Yeah it's true Mom," Marilyn says. "I don't know if I want to see that video either.
I get chills just thinking about what we all witnessed and what we all went through in there!"
"Me too Mom," Tonio says.
"I understand how you all feel," Margarita says, "but it is important for Diane to see the video of her hypnosis since she didn't believe us when we first told her about her behavior during her hypnosis!" Margarita then looks at Diane D and says, "Diane. You still do not believe what we said happened during your hypnosis?"
"No Grandma," Diane D says. "I still don't believe it because I do not behave the way you all said I did during my hypnosis!"
"So you still have your doubts?"
"Yes Grandma, I do."
"Are you ready to watch the video?"
"Not really Grandma."
Margarita looks back at the rest of the family and says, "Is anybody ready to watch the video of Diane's hypnosis?"
"Wait a minute Margarita," Tomas says. "Where're Nancy and Charlotte? They're not in here yet."
"Nancy and Charlotte do not want to be in the room."
"They don't?"
"No."
"How come?"
"They're afraid to see the video."
"They're afraid to see it?"
"Yeah."
"Well I guess we can't blame them."
"I'm afraid to see the video myself Grandma," Nicolas says. "But I'll watch the first part of the video when the doctors were speaking to Diane, but I'm not sure if I can take seeing the other parts with the chains being busted and broken and the metal bars of the couch being bent out of shape then the doctors, the priest and the authority figures getting hurt and slammed in the heads by that couch!"
"Well the part of the doctors, the priest and the authority figures getting hurt might not have been caught on video because the cameras were knocked down," Margarita says. "You can probably still hear the audio part of it I'm not sure, because this will be my first time watching the video myself. I'll tell you all what. I'll have the entire video running. If anybody can't take watching the video anymore, you can get up and leave the room up to the part you cannot take looking at it anymore, including you Diane, 287
"Okay Grandma," Diane D says.
"Okay." Margarita turns to everybody and says, "I'm about to turn the video on.
Here goes." Margarita turns to the TV and plays the video. The video of Diane D's hypnosis starts to play on the TV screen as Margarita goes and sits next to Tomas.
SCENE IN VIDEO:
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn are sitting near Diane D's head leaning towards her head.
Dr. Stone speaks to Diane D’s subconscious again and says to her, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality there inside this physical body?” Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn stare at Diane D. Diane D does not respond. Her physical body continues to lay on the psychiatrist couch not responding as her eyes remain closed.
BACK IN MARGARITA AND TOMAS' LIVING ROOM:
Diane D, Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas nervously watch the video. Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas then turn and look at Diane D trying to see her reaction. They see Diane D
staring at the video of herself in disbelief. Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas turn and look back at the video.
SCENE IN VIDEO:
Dr. Stone continues to speak to Diane D's subconscious again as he looks down at her and says, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If there is a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now, we need you to come out and talk to us. We need to talk to Diane's original soul, spirit and personality first.
Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now? Reveal yourself. Come out and speak to us. Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now?” Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn continue to stare at Diane D. Diane D's physical body continues to lay on the couch not responding as her eyes remain closed.
BACK IN MARGARITA AND TOMAS' LIVING ROOM:
Diane D, Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas continue to watch the video. Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas turn and look back at Diane D trying to see her reaction again. They see Diane D still staring at the video of herself in disbelief. Michael, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn and Nicolas turn and look back at the video.
The next day, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry and Michael are standing with Dr.
288
Stone inside his office as Dr. Stone says to them, "Diane saw the video of her hypnosis yesterday, and she still doesn't believe it's herself in the video?"
"No Doctor Stone!" Margarita shouts. "She doesn't!"
"Did she see the entire video?"
"Yes we showed her the entire video from the beginning, until the end when we only heard the audio when the cameras were knocked down!"
"And she still doesn't believe it's herself?"
"No, she thinks it's somebody else!"
"Somebody else?!"
"Yes!"
"Well who does she think the person in the video is?"
"She thinks it's someone who looks like her Doctor Stone," Michael says.
"Someone who looks like her?"
"Yes because she claims she does not behave that way!"
"It's true, she DOESN'T behave that way! It's those other souls, spirits and personalities who were behaving that way through HER body! Did she see the part of the other personalities talking through her physical body on the video?"
"Yes Doctor Stone," Barry says, "but she also thinks that she could have been talking in her sleep when she saw herself in the video saying all that stuff."
"Talking in her sleep? She thinks she was probably talking in her sleep when she saw herself in the video saying those things?"
"Exactly."
"What about all that chaos in the background when the cameras fell? Did she hear and listen to that part?"
"Yes she did."
"Well what does she think about that part?"
"She doesn't think she did all that stuff she heard in the background!"
"She doesn't believe she did that either?"
"No! She said if she did do that stuff she heard in the background, maybe she could have been sleepwalking when she heard all the chaos happening in the audio part of the video."
"Sleepwalking? She thinks it's a possibility of herself sleepwalking when she heard all the chaos happening in the audio part?"
"Exactly."
"So all in all, she believes that she was sleeptalking and sleepwalking when she saw and heard herself in the video. Well what does she think about the authority figures who she heard were getting hurt in the audio part?"
"She says she feels real bad for them Doctor Stone, but she claims it's not her doing that stuff."
"She claims it's not her doing that?"
"Yes!"
"You did tell her that she's right? That it's not her doing that stuff, but another personality doing that?"
"We tried to tell Diane that it was another personality doing that stuff Doctor Stone!" Tomas shouts, "but she claims she doesn't believe in split personalities!"
"She still doesn't believe in split personalities? She still don't believe SHE has a split personality disorder?!"
289
"No! She just claim she didn't do it!"
"Well that's the same thing she said about beating up Marcus inside that school hallway years ago. She claim she didn't do it when Marcus claim, she did do it! That's the same thing she said about kung fu kicking that stuck storage room door at the other hospital wide open. She claim she didn't do it when two hospital eye witnesses said, she did do it! Well she's half right, she didn't do it. It's the other personalities who did do it! Well I guess all we can do for Diane, is to have her committed back into the state hospital again."
"Doctor Stone," Mary says. "Are you having my child committed back into the state hospital again because of what my family just told you?"
"No, it's not because of what your family just told me Miss Mary. Diane was still going to be committed back into the state hospital regardless of what your family just said. She's being committed back into the state hospital because of what happened during her hypnosis when she attacked those authority figures who later died! What your family just told me will only help keep your child out of prison and instead be committed back into the mental institution."
"Well Diane would not be committed back into the mental institution if we had followed our guts and not let her be hypnotized in the first place Doctor Stone!"
"That's right," Margarita cries. "We should have never let her be hypnotized! If Diane was never hypnotized, her other personality would not have come out to the surface and commit those violent acts, and she would not be committed back into the state hospital! She would still be home with us, her family! I'm sorry we even allowed her to be hypnotized because she wouldn't be sent away!"
"I'm sorry Miss Margarita."
"Sorry my foot Doctor Stone!" Mary angrily shouts. "I'm telling you right now, that hypnosis will be the last time my child ever gets hypnotized no matter what! I don't care if anybody else happen to have an encounter with her other personality in the future, or if anybody else out there claims to have nightmares about her claiming that she's entering into their dreams and nightmares, that's it! I will not have my baby going through this anymore, then being committed back into the state hospital because my child will not be hypnotized ever again!"
"Heyyy wait a minute now Miss Mary! You can't blame your child's other personality coming out to the surface all on her being hypnotized! Her other personality came out to the surface before in the past WITHOUT her being hypnotized!
All she has to do, is get real angry or meditate and there it goes, her other personality would come out to the surface! Did someone hypnotized her the night she beat the crap out of Marcus inside that school hallway breaking all his bones and everything?! I don't think so! I don't think Marcus was qualified to hypnotize her! Did someone hypnotized her the night she kung fu kicked that stuck storage room door wide opened damaging that storage room by turning everything in there upside down?! I don't think so! I don't think those two hospital eye witnesses who saw her go into that storage room were qualified to hypnotize her! Did someone hypnotized her the night she tried to attack those correction officers inside the jail cell?! I don't think so!"
"Alright Doctor Stone!" Margarita shouts. "We get it! We know Diane doesn't have to be hypnotized in order for her other personality to come out to the surface and get out of control."
"I'm sorry the way this all turned out. I really am! But when you all came to me for 290
help, because Nancy had an encounter with Diane's other personality, I had to get into Diane's brain to find out what's going on! And the only way I can get deep into her subconscious, was to hypnotize her. We found out a whole lot of answers during her hypnosis. We found out that the other soul, spirit or personality WAS the one Nancy had an encounter with that night, when Diane claims she does not remember it. We found out that the other soul, spirit or personality WAS the one who beat up Marcus inside that third floor school hallway that night, when Diane claims she does not remember it. We found out that the other soul, spirit or personality WAS the one who kung fu kicked that stuck storage room door wide open at the other hospital, when Diane claims she does not remember it. We found out that the other soul, spirit or personality WAS the one inside that jail cell trying to attack the correction officers and looking at the nurse who came into the cell the next morning, when Diane claims she does not remember it. We found out that her third personality, WAS the one who caused Diane's physical body to levitate over the stage in Germany, when Diane claims she does not remember levitating. We found out a whole lot of other things during Diane's hypnosis. Even though we succeeded in finding out a lot of answers during Diane's hypnosis, I'm sorry that all that chaos happened at the end, because once I told her third personality to stay away from Diane and not to come around Diane anymore, that was it! Her third personality decided to come after me like a bull! It threatened me, it broke the chains loose from the couch freeing itself from the couch then came after me and Doctor Kahn and kung fu kicked us and knocked us out for it, then attacked all the authority figures with that couch and winds up killing some of them!
So many people got hurt that fateful day, I can't even count it! You're right, maybe we should have never hypnotized Diane. If she was never hypnotized, her third personality would not have come out to the surface and commit those violent acts causing me, Doctor Kahn, security guards, a priest, police officers and a swat team to get hurt and killed! Some of those police officers and swat team members would still be alive and Doctor Kahn would not be closing his practice! You're right, we should have never hypnotized Diane."
"So sorry all of that happened Doctor Stone," Michael says.
"Yeah thanks." Dr. Stone then says, "Well, shall we get the paper work started?"
Doctor Stone turns towards his desk and goes around it as Michael, Mary, Margarita, Tomas and Barry sadly look at him.
