Producer Puts Diane D and Dana In Online Sword Fighting Commercial
The following day, Margarita is at the organization sitting inside her office doing paperwork. The desk phone rings. Margarita picks up the phone. She speaks into the 147
receiver and says, “Hello Diaz-Davidson organization.”
“Hello Miss Margarita?” a middle aged white male says on the other end of the phone.
“Speaking.”
“Hi Miss Margarita, this is Dan Carter, the producer of the internet game commercial? You and I met before.”
“Oh yes, hi Dan, how are you?”
“I’m good, and yourself?”
“I’m okay. How’s everything going?”
“Everything is going great!”
“It is? That’s good.”
“Yeah. How’s Diane D doing?”
“Oh Diane’s okay so far.”
“She is?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good. I heard about what happened at the theater! I heard that someone who was found shot behind the balcony after Diane D’s martial arts performance was out to get her! Is that true?”
“That’s what my family and I were told from the police officer who came to see us.”
“Oh yeah?! Wow, I’m so sorry that happened Miss Margarita! My God! How does Diane D feel about that?!”
“Of course she’s upset about it! We’re all upset about it!”
“I can imagine! Sorry to hear about that Miss Margarita.”
“Thanks.”
“Well the reason I called you, is because I want to produce a commercial that I’m planning to put online. The commercial is for a sword battle game app that I’m creating and I need someone athletic like Diane D to do some sword fighting scenes in the commercial.”
“What? You need someone athletic like Diane to do sword fighting scenes in the online commercial?”
“Yes, in other words, I would like Diane D to be in the commercial to do some sword fighting scenes, if it’s okay.”
“What? You want Diane to be in the commercial?”
“Yes.”
“You’re kidding me right?”
“Kidding you? No I’m not kidding you Miss Margarita! Why would I be kidding you?”
“Because everyone else is afraid of Diane Mr. Carter! At first, people were afraid to come see our family’s shows if Diane was going to perform in them! We couldn’t get tickets for the seats near the stage sold at first! Other companies wouldn’t book her for any of their projects! In other words, she’s been blackballed!”
“Blackballed?! Wow! I’m so sorry to hear about that Miss Margarita!”
“You’re not afraid of Diane like everybody else is Mr. Carter?”
“I can’t say I’m not afraid of her Miss Margarita, but of course what she did to all those authority figures is always going to be in the back of everyone’s mind! She still has no memory of what happened with those authority figures at all?”
“No she still has absolutely no memory of it! I’m sorry that my family and I agreed 148
“I can imagine Miss Margarita.”
“Unfortunately, everyone being afraid of her is going to be the new normal for her and the rest of my family.”
“Wow, I’m so sorry about that Miss Margarita! Well I’m willing to put Diane D in my project. I’ve seen her martial arts performances before and I think she is fantastic!
I figure since Diane D is very athletic and has great martial arts skills, I could give her a chance and offer her a spot in the commercial. I don’t think I’ll be in danger of her or her other personality, as long as her family members are around if she does the commercial.”
“Well of course! My family members have to be around Diane at all times, commercial or no commercial! Now if my family and I agree to have Diane do this commercial, are you sure this is not a set up for someone else in any of those victims’
families to come try and harm her?”
“What? A set up for someone else in those victims’ families? No! Of course not Miss Margarita! I’m not setting Diane D up for any harm! Not at all! I’m not setting up anything bad to happen to her! It’s unfortunate that the family members of the victims were out to get her! I’m glad nothing happened to her! I just want her to be in the commercial because I think she’s a great athlete and a great performer, that’s all! God forbid if someone else DOES try to harm her again in the future, I have nothing to do with it! I hope nothing bad ever happens to Diane D Miss Margarita, I know it wasn’t her original personality who harmed all those authority figures!”
“You do?”
“Yes I do!”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. Look Miss Margarita, if Diane D does this commercial, she can earn a lot of money every time the commercial is aired online or every time the game is purchased by someone. So I’m asking you Miss Margarita, is it okay for Diane D to do this commercial? Is it okay for her to perform a sword fighting scene in this online commercial if she’s interested in it?”
“Well first of all, where would this commercial be shot at?”
“Well the rehearsal will take place at the gym, then the commercial will be shot in a wooded area. Diane D is still out on house arrest, is she?”
“Yes she is.”
“Okay. So if she does this commercial, that means she’ll still have ankle monitors strapped around her ankles if she does the commercial, right?”
“Of course she will.”
“Okay. So if she’s interested in doing this commercial, I would like her and another athletic person like another female to perform a two-person sword team and they battle against an army of male sword fighters.”
“An army of male sword fighters? You want Diane and another female to battle against an army of male sword fighters?”
“Yes. So do you think Diane D would be interested in doing this commercial?”
“I don’t think she’ll be interested in doing the commercial, I KNOW she’ll be interested in doing the commercial.”
“You KNOW she’ll be interested in doing the commercial?
“Yes.”
149
“How do you know she’ll be interested in doing the commercial Miss Margarita?”
“Because Diane will be so happy to know that someone is finally not afraid of her and is willing to put her in their project!”
“She’ll be happy to know someone is finally not afraid of her?”
“Yes, because Diane has been hurt and devastated for a while because she knows everyone is afraid of her and don’t want to deal with her or put her in any of their projects when she says she’s not even thinking about harming anybody! That’s why I know she’ll be happy to know that someone wants to have her in their project!”
“Well I’m willing to have her in my project. So will you and your family allow Diane D to be in the commercial Miss Margarita?”
“Sure, if she wants to. I’ll speak to her about it.”
“You will?!”
“Yes.”
“Oh thank you Miss Margarita, thank you! I will still need another athletic female to partner with Diane D in the commercial.”
“Another athletic female? Like who?”
“Well what about that young Asian woman who usually performs martial arts on stage with Diane D?”
“Oh you mean Lynn Cho, right?”
“Yeah, I think that’s her name, Lynn Cho. What about her?”
“I’m sorry Dan, but Lynn Cho is not in this country right now. She went back to Asia.”
“She did?”
“Yes.”
“Oh I see. Hey, what about Diane D’s cousin Dana?”
“Dana?”
“Yes her! She seems athletic! Is Dana athletic Miss Margarita?”
“Yes Dana is very athletic as well as Diane! She’s into a lot of sports too.”
“She is?”
“Oh yeah. She and Diane both ran track in school.”
“They did?”
“Yes, and they also participated in the girls’ basketball team.”
“The girls’ basketball team?”
“Yes. Both Dana and Diane used to play baseball too, and they played soccer and volley ball with their brothers and other boys.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah. They even sky dived before.”
“I heard!”
“They also scuba dived in the Caribbean and they go deep into the water!”
“I heard that too! Wow that’s great! That is so wonderful! Okay! Then maybe Dana can be the other female sword fighter who partners with Diane D in the sword battle scene!”
“Oh yeah? So you want Dana to be in the commercial too?”
“Yes! Is she locked up in the mental institution too or on house arrest?”
“Well she was locked up in the mental institution temporarily, but is released now.
She still gets admitted into the mental hospital back and forth for mental therapy.”
“She does?”
150
“At the same mental hospital where Diane D is admitted to?”
“Yes.”
“So they be together inside the mental institution?”
“Yes, but we still separate them sometimes.”
“You do?”
“Yes.”
“I see. So do you think that Dana would be interested in doing this commercial Miss Margarita? If she’s interested in doing the commercial, she can earn a lot of money too every time the commercial is aired online or every time the game is purchased by someone. So do you think Dana would be interested in doing the commercial?”
“I’ll speak to her about it.”
“You will?”
“Yes.”
“Oh thank you Miss Margarita, thank you! What about all the other martial arts performers who performed on stage with Diane D?”
“What about them?”
“I was thinking that maybe they can play the army of male sword fighters who go against the two female sword fighters.”
“You were thinking they can play the army of male sword fighters?”
“Yes. Are they still in town?”
“I think some of them are.”
“Okay great! Are you able to speak to them and see if they’ll be interested in doing this commercial? They will make money too.”
“I’ll speak to them about it too.”
“You will?”
“Yes.”
“Oh thank you so much Miss Margarita! I appreciate it! Okay Miss Margarita, I’ll get back to you in a couple of days to find out the answer if Diane D, Dana and the male martial arts performers who performed on stage with Diane D are interested in doing this commercial.”
“Okay.”
“Thanks Miss Margarita. Talk to you later. Bye.”
“Okay, bye Dan.” Margarita hangs up the phone.
Two days later, Margarita is inside her office doing paper work. The telephone rings. Margarita picks up the phone. She speaks into the receiver and says, “Hello Diaz-Davidson organization.”
“Hello Miss Margarita,” Dan says on the other end of the phone, “It’s me Dan.”
“Hi Dan, how are you?”
“I’m good, and yourself?”
“I’m okay.”
“Good! How’s everything going?”
“Everything is okay so far.”
“Oh yeah? That’s good. How’s Diane D doing?”
“She’s okay.”
151
“She is? That’s good! Did you speak to her about doing the online commercial?”
“Yes I did.”
“You did?! Oh great! What did she say to that?”
“She jumped at it!”
“She jumped at it?! Oh my God, you’re kidding! She agreed to do the online commercial?!”
“Yes she agreed to do it!”
“Wow, oh my God! I can’t believe it! Wow, I’m glad she agreed to do the online commercial! What made her agree to do the online commercial Miss Margarita?”
“Well she got very happy and excited when she realized that someone is finally not afraid of her by choosing and picking her to do their project!”
“She got happy and excited?!”
“She sure did, just like I predicted.”
“Wow, your prediction was right Miss Margarita!”
“It was. Plus Diane loves performing.”
“I know she does, that’s another reason why I chose and picked her to do this project.”
“Oh thank you Dan! Plus she says she wants to donate some of the money she’ll earn to the victims’ families.”
“She still wants to show support for the victims’ families?”
“Yes she still does. She says it’s the least she can do for them.”
“Wow that’s good! I’m glad she’s still trying to support them! What about Dana?
Did you speak to her about doing the commercial?”
“Yes I spoke to Dana too.”
“You did? What did she say about doing the commercial?”
“She agreed to do the commercial too!”
“She did?!”
“Yes!”
“Wow that’s wonderful! That is great! I’m glad she agreed to do the commercial too!
What made her agree to do the online commercial?”
“The money!”
“The money?! That’s it?!”
“That’s it!”
“Wow, I see! Does she plan to donate some of the money she’ll earn to the victims’
families too like Diane D?”
“Uh, no.”
“No?!” Dan Carter laughs. “She doesn’t plan to donate some of the money she’ll earn to the victims’ families?”
“No. If anything, she’d rather donate some of the money she’ll earn to her own family!”
“What!” Dan Carter laughs again. “To her own family?!”
“Yes, not the victims’ families.”
“I see! I wasn’t expecting Dana to donate any of her money to the victims’ families anyway. I was just curious to see where her mindset is, to see if she had the same mindset as Diane D.”
“No she doesn’t.”
“Wow, I see. Okay! So what about those male performers from Asia who performed 152
on stage with Diane D? Did you speak to them about doing the commercial too?”
“Yes I spoke to them too. They agreed to do the commercial too.”
“They did?!”
“Yes.”
“Wow that’s wonderful! So altogether we’re going to have Diane D, Dana and the male martial arts performers from Asia be in the sword battle commercial! Wow, that’s great! That’s wonderful! So it’s settled then! Okay Miss Margarita. I’ll call you later with all the details of when Diane D, Dana and the martial arts performers can come to the gym to rehearse, okay?”
“You got it Dan.”
“Okay, thanks. Talk to you later. Bye.”
“Bye now.” Margarita hangs up the phone.
The following week, Diane D, Dana and the male martial arts performers from Asia are in a large gym rehearsing for the sword battle commercial. Diane D has ankle monitors strapped around both of her ankles as she and one of the male martial arts performers rehearse fighting with big swords.
Dan Carter, Barry, Uncle Willie, Dana’s father David, Aunt Celeste, Aunt Laura, Nicolas, Michael and Mickey stand to the side of the gym looking on. Barry turns to Dan Carter and says, “Are you sure no one will get hurt doing those stunts?”
“Well according to Diane D’s martial arts performance skills,” Dan Carter says, “I think they’ll all be fine.” Dan Carter and Barry look back towards Diane D, Dana and the male martial arts performers.
Diane D and one of the male martial arts performers continue to rehearse with swords. Suddenly Dana and another martial arts performer race pass Diane D towards the opposite side of the gym carrying swords. They suddenly jump and do a side flip landing on their feet as they continue to hold on to the swords. Dana and the other martial arts performer race towards Diane D and the other martial arts performer with the swords. Suddenly Diane D, Dana and all the martial arts performers turn and race towards the opposite side of the gym carrying swords. They suddenly jump and do a side flip landing on their feet as they continue to hold on to the swords.
Three weeks later, a chubby black boy around 12-years old is inside his bedroom watching the sword fighting online commercial on his laptop. He sees the sword fighting commercial with Diane D and Dana in it! He turns to the doorway of his bedroom and shouts, “Hey everybody! There’s a commercial with Diane D and her cousin Dana on the internet! They’re fighting against a group of male fighters using swords!”
“What!” the boys family’s voices shouts.
The boy’s mother, father, sister and grandmother enter into his bedroom as his mother says, “How can Diane D be in a commercial? I thought she was locked up!”
“I guess not! She’s right here in this commercial!” The boy and his family look at the commercial on his laptop.
SCENE IN ONLINE COMMERCIAL:

It is very windy. Diane D and Dana are fighting against the male sword fighters in a wooded area using big swords as their loose hair blow in the wind. The male sword fighters fight them using big swords also! Diane D and Dana then turn around and run from the male sword fighters as the male sword fighters give chase!
Diane D and Dana run through the wooded area carrying the big swords trying to get away from the male sword fighters with the male sword fighters in hot pursuit!
Diane D and Dana reach an open area of the woods! They then race through the open area with the swords!

They then race towards a group of rock platforms!
The male sword fighters race towards the group of rock platforms also!
Diane D and Dana reach the group of rock platforms! They then jump on top of one of the rock platforms with the swords! The male sword fighters reach the group of rock platforms also as Diane D and Dana hurry to the top of a 1-foot rock platform!
The male sword fighters reach the other high rock platforms! They jump on top of the rock platforms with the swords! They start to surround Diane D and Dana as they stand on the rock platforms with some of them standing on other 1-foot high rock platforms, others are standing on 2-feet high rock platforms while others are standing on 3-feet high rock platforms!

Controversy Over Diane D and Dana’s Online Sword Fighting Commercial
A couple of days later, Dan Carter is inside his office sitting behind his desk. Mrs.
Jenkins, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Muer, Mrs. Reid, Kurt and other family members of the victims who were killed by Diane D’s other personality angrily storm into his office!
Kurt’s arm, hand and fingers are in a cast. Dan Carter nervously looks at them all and 155
“Are you Mr. Dan Carter?!” Mrs. Jenkins shouts.
“Yes I am. What can I do for you all?”
“How dare you?!”
“How dare I? How dare I what?”
“How dare you put Diane D and her cousin Dana in an online commercial advertising for a sword game app?!”
“How dare I put Diane D and her cousin Dana in the online commercial?”
“That’s right! Why do you have Diane D and her cousin Dana advertising for something that involves weapons after what Diane D did last year?!”
“First of all, who are you?”
“I’m Mrs. Jenkins! I’m the one whose husband was killed by Diane D last year!”
“So was my husband!” Mrs. Peterson shouts.
“So was mine!” Mrs. Muer shouts.
“So was my husband!” Mrs. Reid shouts.
“Oh really?!” Dan Carter says. “Wow, I’m sorry about what happened to your husbands!”
“You should be!”
“And I’m Kurt!” Kurt shouts. “I’m the one who got shot in the stairwell at Diane D’s family’s organization! And I’m the son of one of the authority figures who got killed by Diane D! How can you put Diane D and her cousin Dana in your commercial?!”
That’s right Mr. Carter!” Mrs. Peterson shouts. “We are very upset about that! Why do you have Diane D and her cousin Dana advertising for something that involves weapons?! Every time I see Diane D on some poster or in some type of advertisement, she’s always holding some type of weapon in her hands! One advertisement she’s holding nunchakus, another poster she’s holding knives, now she’s in a commercial holding and using swords! I mean what is with that woman and these weapons?! What weapon is she going to hold next, a gun or rifle?! Why do you have Diane D and her cousin Dana advertising for something that involves weapons?!”
“Well I wanted some female athletes to do the commercial,” Dan Carters says.
“You wanted female athletes to do the commercial?!”
“Yes.”
“So you wound up choosing Diane D and her cousin?!”
“Well yeah. I figured since Diane D and her cousin Dana are good athletes, I can use them for the commercial.”
“What!” everyone else shouts.
“You figure since they’re good athletes, you can use them for the commercial?!” Mrs.
Muer shouts.
“That’s right,” Dan Carter says.
“You couldn’t find any other female athletes besides those two to put in your commercial?! Why would you want those two women who are constantly locked up back and forth in mental institutions to promote your product?! I mean really Dan Carter?! What were you thinking putting Diane D and her cousin Dana in your online commercial?!”
“That’s right Mr. Carter!” Kurt shouts. “Diane D is a killer! She killed six people last year including my dad! She was there when I got shot in the stairwell at her family’s organization! She witnessed the whole entire thing, then claim she was never there in 156
the stairwell when I got shot making me look like a liar when she’s the one who’s lying!
You want a killer like her to represent your product?!”
“Well?” Dan Carter says.
“Well my ass Mr. Carter! Listen Mr. Carter and listen good! You might as well get rid of that commercial and not put it online anymore because we will not purchase your product or game if Diane D and her cousin Dana are in it and promoting it!”
“You won’t?”
“Hell no, are you crazy?! Diane D and her cousin Dana don’t need to be making money off of a commercial showing them using weapons after Diane D killed my father!”
“But I already paid Diane D and her cousin Dana upfront advance money for doing the commercial! They’re supposed to make more money whenever the commercial is aired or if someone purchases the game app!”
“No one is going to purchase that goddamn game app Mr. Carter, because we are going to make sure of that! If you don’t remove that commercial from online, we will protest against the commercial AND your game app, Diane D and her cousin Dana won’t make any more money from it!”
“What! You’re willing to stop Diane D and her cousin Dana from making more money?”
“That’s right! Diane D shouldn’t even be doing commercials anyway! After what she did to my father and all the other authority figures last year, she doesn’t deserve to be in a commercial, she deserves to be in prison!”
“But Diane D already said that she was going to donate some of the money she earns to you guys, the victims’ families!”
“We don’t want her money!” Mrs. Jenkins shouts. “If she can bring me my husband back, then I will forgive her, but she can’t bring my husband back after what she did to him! So therefore, we don’t want or need her money!”
“But I still need to make money off this game app!”
“Then get someone else to do the commercial! Find other female athletes to put in your commercial besides Diane D and her cousin Dana! I’m sure there are plenty of other female athletes out there besides those two!”
“There are!” Kurt shouts. He then says to Dan Carter, “As a matter of fact, I have a female cousin named Johanna who tried for the Olympics! Maybe you can use her for your sword game app commercial!”
“Oh really!” Dan Carter says.
“Yes really!”
“Why her?”
“Because she’s not a criminal like Diane D and her cousin Dana, she has a clean record! She’s never killed anybody and has never been locked up before like Diane D
and her cousin Dana!”
“Is that right?!”
“Yes that’s right!”
“So you’re gonna tell me who to choose for my online commercial?!”
“No I’m not telling you who to choose for your online commercial Mr. Carter, I’m just telling you who NOT to choose! Don’t choose Diane D or her cousin Dana! I’m sure you will see it different if it was someone in your family that Diane D killed! Just saying.”
157
Dan Carter sadly looks at Kurt and the rest of the victims’ family members.
The following day, Dan Carter is at the organization inside Margarita’s office speaking to Margarita, Diane D and the rest of the family as Diane D shouts to him,
“What the hell you mean you might have to cancel the online commercial and replace me and Dana with somebody else, after Dana and I put our blood, sweat and tears into it!” “Well that victim Kurt who got shot in the stairwell and the rest of those victims’
family members stormed into my office yesterday complaining about you and Dana appearing in that commercial!” Dan Carter says. “They said that they are going to make sure no one purchases the game app and told me that if I don’t remove the commercial from online, they will protest against the commercial AND my game app and you and Dana won’t make any more money from it!”
“What!” the family shouts.
“So you’re going to cancel the online commercial because of those victims’ family members’ complaint?!” Diane D shouts
“I’m afraid so,” Dan Carter says.
“So therefore Dana and I won’t be making any more money?!”
“I’m afraid not.”
“My God!” Mary shouts. “How dare that guy Kurt and the rest of those victims’
family members storm into your office complaining about Diane and Dana appearing in that commercial!”
“Yeah Mr. Carter!” Barry shouts. “How dare that guy Kurt and the rest of those victims’ family members stop Diane and Dana from earning that money, especially when some of that money was going to go to them!”
“They said they don’t want Diane D’s money,” Dan Carter says.
“They don’t want her money?!” Tomas shouts. “That’s what they said?!”
“Yeah. They said if I still need to make money off the game app, they suggested that I find other female athletes to put in the online commercial besides Diane D and Dana.”
“What!” the family shouts.
“They suggested that you find other female athletes to put in the commercial?!”
Margarita shouts.
“Yeah,” Dan Carter says. “They said they are sure there are plenty of other female athletes out there I can use! Then Kurt says that he has a female cousin who tried for the Olympics that maybe I can use her for the sword game app commercial.”
“What!” the family shouts.
“He suggested that his female cousin who tried for the Olympics can be used for the commercial?!” Mary shouts.
“Yes,” Dan Carter says.
“So he thinks his female cousin is good enough for the app and not Diane and Dana because it involves them holding weapons?!” Barry shouts.
“Yes.”
“But he doesn’t mind his female cousin holding a weapon, huh!”
“No, because he said his female cousin is not a criminal that she has a clean record and never killed anybody and has never been locked up before.”
“What!” the family shouts.
158
“My God!” Margarita shouts. “It sounds like this guy Kurt is throwing shame at both Diane and Dana!”
“He is throwing shame Grandma!” Diane D shouts. “Every time my promotional image is shown somewhere with me holding a weapon, he and his family members keep having a problem with it! They keep trying to stop my promotional images and I’m sick of it! I understand the hurt and pain they’re going through after what happened to their loved ones, but now they’re controlling my life and fucking with my money! Well since they want to control my life and fuck with my money, it’s time for me to turn the tables!”
“Time for you to turn the tables? What do you mean Diane?”
“It’s time for me to control THEIR lives now!”
“Control THEIR lives?” Tomas asks. “In what way Diane?”
“By ANY MEANS NECESSARY!”
“By ANY MEANS NECESSARY?!” the family shouts.
“Yes!” Diane D turns and angrily walks away, then disappears around the corner.
“Oh oh,” Barry says, “here we go again.”
“I know,” Mary says. She then goes off after Diane D and shouts, “Diane! Diane!”
Mary then disappears around the corner after Diane D. Barry and other family members hurry off after Diane D then disappear around the corner. Margarita, Tomas and Dan Carter stand there and watch the rest of the family go off after Diane D.
Dan Carter turns to Margarita and Tomas and says, “I’m sorry about this.”
“I thought you made an agreement with us and Diane Mr. Carter,” Margarita says.
“I did! I didn’t know that the victims’ family members were gonna complain about Diane D and Dana holding weapons in the commercial ad, not until they stormed into my office! I’m sorry about this whole thing.”
“Yeah so are we,” Tomas says. “Listen Mr. Carter we have to tend to Diane.”
“Okay no problem. Take care.” Dan Carter sadly turns from Margarita and Tomas and heads towards the doorway as Margarita and Tomas turn and follow where Diane D
and the rest of the family went off to.

Owner Of Wax Museum Wants To Create Diane D And Dana In Wax!
The following day, Mr. Yim, a tall Asian man around his mid 50’s who has dark hair and bangs parted in the middle who wears glasses and dressed in a business suit is inside Margarita’s office speaking to Margarita, Tomas, Mary and Barry as he says to them, “I just love that sword battle game app online commercial I saw on the internet that had Diane D and her cousin Dana in it fighting with swords!”
“You love it?” Margarita asks.
160
“Yes I really do! I love the commercial so much, that I would like to make wax figures of both Diane D and her cousin Dana doing the sword battle commercial to put in the wax museum!”
“What?” everyone else says.
“You want to make wax figures of Diane and Dana doing the sword battle commercial to put in the wax museum?” Barry asks.
“Yes!” Mr. Yim says. “I was inside the hotel conference room at the Blixon hotel a few years ago when Diane D was inside the hotel conference room making that speech.”
“You were there?” Tomas asked.
“Yes I was. I was one of the people who went up to the microphone, and told Diane D that I and the rest of the staff members from the museum were so inspired by all those frightening images of herself on the front wall of the hotel conference room, that my staff members approached you all earlier that day and offered to make wax figures out of the frightening images of Diane D on the front wall and place those wax figures inside the horror division of the museum or exhibit.”
“Oh it was your staff members that approached us who were telling us about wanting to make wax figures of Diane and Dana to put in the horror section of the wax museum,” Barry says.
“Yes, you remember them, huh.”
“Yes I do.”
“Yes those were my staff members that approached you all and offered to make wax figures out of the frightening images of Diane D on the front wall of the hotel conference room, but my staff members said you all declined that offer. I asked Diane D why did you all decline that offer. She said you all said her ordeals don‘t need to be on public display like that.”
“That’s right Mr. Yim,” Margarita says, “Diane’s ordeals don‘t need to be on public display.”
“Yeah that’s what she told me inside the hotel conference room that day. Then I asked Diane D how does she feel about it. She said she felt the same way about it, that she doesn’t need her ordeals on public display. Then I asked her wouldn’t she like to see herself or an image of herself in wax. She said maybe not like that. Then I asked her would she like to see herself in wax at all. She said she never really gave it a thought.
Then I told her my staff said they also offered to make a wax figure of her cousin Dana also and place that wax figure inside the horror department of the museum too, but my staff said you all declined that offer also and said you would never allow a wax figure of Diane D or a wax figure of Dana to be inside a horror department of a museum or exhibit.”
“That’s right Mr. Yim,” Margarita says, “we would never allow it.”
“Yeah that’s what Diane D told me inside the hotel conference room too. Then I asked her why would you all never allow it. She said because if I put a wax figure of herself and a wax figure of Dana inside the horror department of the museum, then what am I trying to say about her and Dana.”
“Yeah what ARE you trying to say about her and Dana?” Mary asks.
“I told Diane D I wasn’t trying to say anything about her and Dana!”
“Then why would you want to put Diane’s and Dana’s wax figures in the horror section?!”
“I told Diane D that I thought the horror section would be a good spot for her and 161
“You thought the horror section would be a good spot?! Oh really?!”
“Yes, being that Diane D and Dana both have bad reputations, I thought that the horror section would be a good section for their wax figures.”
“Because of their bad reputations?” Margarita asks.
“Yeah.”
“So in other words, you think their wax figures will fit right in that horror section!”
“Well, yeah. I think the horror section would be a good spot for their wax figures, but Diane D told me that she and you all were not interested in having wax figures of herself and Dana being on display inside the horror department.”
“That’s right Mr. Yim, we all still feel that way. We’re not interested in having wax figures of Diane or Dana being on display inside the horror department of a wax museum.”
“Oh. Okay then! What about the adventure section?”
“The adventure section?”
“Yes, since they’re fighting with swords!”
“I’m sorry Mr. Yim, but we already went through this with the victims’ family members complaining about Diane and Dana being in that sword battle commercial, threatening Dan Carter that they would protest against the commercial if it continued to be shown online! Then if your wax museum has wax figures of Diane and Dana, the next thing you know, is that those victims’ family members are gonna want to come after you and protest against your wax museum! Aren’t you worried that those victims’
family members are gonna want to come after you protesting against your wax museum if your wax museum have figures of Diane and Dana in it?”
“I’ll hide the wax figures downstairs in the basement.”
“Hide the wax figures in the basement?” Tomas asks.
“Yeah.”
“What good would that do Mr. Yim, I mean who’s going to see them?! If you have to go through all of that, you might as well not make wax figures of Diane and Dana at all then!”
“That’s right,” Margarita says. “I’m sorry Mr. Yim, but we won’t give you permission to make wax figures of Diane or Dana to put in your wax museum.”
“You won’t give me permission?” Mr. Yim asks.
“No.”
“There would be money involved in it.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. Every time people would purchase tickets for the wax museum, both Diane D
and Dana would earn some money from the ticket sales!”
“Is that right?”
“Yes! Since they’re not able to earn any money from that online commercial anymore, maybe they can earn money from having their wax figures at the wax museum instead!”
“I’m sorry Mr. Yim, but the answer is still no.”
“Still no?”
“Yes.”
“Okay I won’t put Diane D’s and Dana’s wax figures in the horror section, I’ll put their wax figures in the fighters or warriors section instead.”
162
“Fighters or warriors section?” Barry asks.
“Yes!”
“Still ‘no’ Mr. Yim,” Margarita says.
“No? Then how about if I put their wax figures in the athletes or sports section instead of the fighters or warriors section?”
“No Mr. Yim, we won’t give you permission to make wax figures of Diane or Dana at all no matter what section you put their wax figures in! The answer is still ‘no’!”
“But Miss Margarita…”
“You heard my wife Mr. Yim!” Tomas shouts, “the answer is ‘no’, we do not give you permission to make wax figures of both Diane and Dana! You got that?! Good! You may go now!”
“But Mr. Tomas…”
“Bye Mr. Yim,” Tomas says as he turns and walks to the door.
Tomas reaches the door. He opens the door, turns to Mr. Yim and says, “Good day Mr. Yim,” gesturing for Mr. Yim to leave. Mr. Yim is disappointed. He turns and sadly heads to the doorway. He then walks out the doorway into the hallway as Tomas closes the door behind him.
Later on that day, Mr. Yim is sitting behind the desk inside his office looking down and disappointed. Don an Asian male staff member around his mid 40’s who’s slightly bald on top and wearing a white T-shirt comes into his office. He sees Mr. Yim then shouts, “Yiiim!” Mr. Yim looks up at Don as Don says to him, “I see you’re still disappointed about Diane D’s family not allowing you to make wax figures of her and her cousin Dana, huh.”
“Of course I’m still disappointed about that Don,” Mr. Yim says, “I still want to make wax figures of Diane D and her cousin Dana! I think their wax figures would have been perfect for this museum!”
“Yeah I think so too. Sorry their family is not allowing you to make wax figures of them.”
“Yeah I’m sorry too. Hey you know what? We should secretly make the wax figures of Diane D and her cousin Dana anyway.”
“What? Secretly make the wax figures of Diane D and her cousin Dana? You mean make wax figures of them behind their family’s back?”
“Yes! What we can try to do is secretly make the wax figures of Diane D and her cousin Dana. Once we have the wax figures completed, we will store the wax figures downstairs in the basement where they won’t be publicly displayed. Once I have the wax figures in the basement, I will call up Diane D’s family and tell them about the wax figures. Of course they will be angry at first, then I will invite them here to the museum for a private viewing of the wax figures! Once they get here, I will bring them down to the basement and show them the wax figures of Diane D and Dana. Once they see the wax figures of Diane D and Dana, I figure they will change their minds and like the wax figures once they see that the wax figures are actually already made then allow the wax figures to be publicly displayed! You want to try it?”
“I guess so, as long as the wax figures won’t be publicly displayed. I don’t want any trouble from Diane D or her family.”
163
“There won’t be trouble from them as long as we have the wax figures hidden in the basement for the time being. So let’s get to work and start working on the wax figures of Diane D and her cousin Dana.”
“Okay.” Don turns around and walks towards the door as Mr. Yim gets up from behind his desk.
The following day, Mr. Yim and around ten staff members are sitting inside a conference room watching the sword battle online commercial featuring Diane D, Dana and the male sword fighters on a large TV screen. Mr. Yim pauses the end of the video with Diane D and Dana standing back to back looking around holding swords high up in the air. “Get a screen shot of that Don,” Mr. Yim says. He then stands up out of his seat.
He turns around to the staff members and says, “Now this is the pose and look I want for the wax figures.”
“You want that pose and look?” Don asks.
“Yes. First we need to know Diane D’s and Dana’s measurements. I already know how tall they are. I’ve seen Diane D and her cousin Dana before. They both seem to be just a little bit shorter than me. Plus I remember Diane D’s height from inside the hotel conference room a few years ago.”
“I saw Diane D from a distance too,” Don says.
“You did?” a white male staff member says.
“Yeah. She’s my height.”
“She is?”
“Yeah.”
“And how tall are you?”
“I’m between five feet five inches and five feet six inches tall, in other words, I’m five feet five and a half inches.”
“Your five feet five and a half inches?”
“Yes.”
“Okay that settles it then,” Mr. Yim says. “We’ll make Diane D’s and Dana’s wax figures five feet five and a half inches tall. And remember everyone, we must keep this a secret between us, okay? We will reveal the wax figures to Diane D’s family once the wax figures are completed. Now let’s get this thing going.” The staff members start to stand up out of the chairs and head towards the door.
The following day, My Yim is alone inside a very large empty chamber inside the basement of the wax museum. He has the screenshot of Diane D and Dana standing back to back looking around holding swords high up in the air on his tablet. He looks out at the large empty chamber. He then holds the tablet up against the empty chamber.
He looks at the screenshot of Diane D and Dana against the empty chamber trying to measure the spot and position where he would place their wax figures.

Kurt Claims To See Diane D Stalking Him!
Kurt is sitting in a coffee shop drinking coffee with his mother Mrs. Reid and brother Kyle. He looks to the side out the window. He suddenly becomes shocked! He then shouts, “Oh my God, that’s Diane D!”
“What!” Mrs. Reid and Kyle shout. “Diane D?!”
“Yeah! She’s right there!”
“What!” Mrs. Reid and Kyle shout as they quickly turn their heads around towards 165
the coffee shop window and look out of it. They look out on the street and sidewalk.
They do not see Diane D anywhere. They stare out the coffee shop window and look out on the sidewalk and street. They still do not see any sign of Diane D. They turn back to Kurt as Mrs. Reid says, “Kurt, I don’t see Diane D!”
“I don’t see her either,” Kyle says.
“You don’t?” Kurt asks.
“No,” Mrs. Reid says.
“She was just there!”
“Oh yeah? Where?!”
“Outside the window! She disappeared as soon as you guys turned around!”
“She did?”
“Yes!”
“What was she doing out there?” Kyle asks.
“Nothing! She was just standing outside the coffee shop window angrily staring at me!”“What!” Mrs.ReidandKyle shout. “Angrily staringatyou?!”
“She was standing outside the coffee shop window angrily staring at you?” Kyle shouts.
“Yes!” Kurt shouts. “It looked like she was mad at me!”
“Mad at you?”
“That’s the way she looked! Her eyes looked puffy while she was angrily staring at me!”“What!” Mrs.ReidandKyle shout.
“Her eyes looked puffy while she was angrily staring at you?” Kyle asks.
“Yeah!” Kurt shouts. “She knows we’re the ones who caused that online commercial of her and her cousin Dana not to be shown any more causing her and her cousin Dana not to make any more money from it and wants to get at us for it! I think she might be stalking us!”
“Stalking us?!” Mrs. Reid and Kyle shout.
“Yeah!”
“Kurt how can Diane D even be out here?!” Kyle shouts. “Isn’t she on house arrest?!”
“That’s what I thought! Maybe she escaped!”
“Escaped?! You think she could have escaped?”
“Most likely she escaped since I saw her out there! I’m gonna have to call the police on her!”
“Call the police?!” Mrs. Reid shouts.
“Yeah!”
“Kurt are you sure it was Diane D you saw out there?! Because you just can’t call the police on somebody just because you saw them outside a public window staring at you, as long as they’re not trying to harm you!”
“The way she was angrily staring at me like that, I think she wants me to be harmed again just like when she was there when I got shot inside the stairwell at her family’s organization! It was like she was challenging me! I don’t want to take another chance with Diane D because she is a dangerous person! I have to get prepared and call the cops on her!”
“Kurt, I don’t want you to call the cops and make false accusations against 166
“It’s not a false accusation Mom! I really saw Diane D out there!”
“But did she try to harm you?”
“Not yet! I want the cops to get to her before she gets to me!” Kurt gets on his cell phone and gets ready to call the police. Mrs. Reid and Kyle puzzled look at Kurt, they then turn and look back out the window still seeing no sign of Diane D.
A few hours later, Officer Kilpatrick is at the organization inside Margarita’s office talking to Margarita, Diane D and the rest of their family as he says to Diane D, “Diane D, Kurt Reid, the victim who got shot in the stairwell here at the organization says he saw you outside a coffee shop window angrily staring at him.”
“What!” the family shouts.
“That guy Kurt said he saw Diane outside a coffee shop window angrily staring at him?!” Margarita shouts.
“Yes,” Officer Kilpatrick says, “he said he saw Diane D outside a coffee shop window while he was sitting inside there with his mother and his brother.” Officer Kilpatrick turns to Diane D and says, “Diane D, do you remember being outside any coffee shop window staring at Kurt while he was inside a coffee shop with his family a little while ago?”
“Hell no!” Diane D shouts. “Why would I be outside some damn coffee shop window staring at him?!”
“He thought maybe you might be stalking him.”
“Stalking him?!” the family shouts.
“He thinks Diane might be stalking him?!” Mary shouts.
“That’s what he said,” Officer Kilpatrick says.
“Officer I didn’t stalk that guy!” Diane D shouts. “That motherfucka is not worth my time to be stalking and staring at!”
“Well he says he saw you outside a coffee shop window angrily staring at him and wants to make a report of it.”
“What!” the family shouts, “make a report of it?!”
“He wants to report Diane staring at him outside some damn coffee shop window?!”
Nicolas shouts.
“Yes,” Officer Kilpatrick says.
“See?!” Diane D turns to her family and shouts, “that motherfucka keeps causing trouble for me!” Diane D turns back to Officer Kilpatrick and shouts, “First this guy tells everybody I was there when he got shot in the stairwell and I don’t remember ever being in the stairwell when he or ANYBODY got shot there! Second, he and his family caused that online commercial with me and Dana not to be shown online anymore causing me and her not to make any more money from it! Now he’s saying that he saw me outside some coffee shop window angrily staring at him when I was never there! If he did see me outside some coffee shop window staring at him, I don’t remember it!”
“Officer!” Mary shouts, “Diane has been with us the whole entire time! We all have to keep our eyes on her, we do not let her out of our sight!”
“That’s right officer!” Margarita shouts. “If Diane was outside that coffee shop window staring at that guy Kurt, we would have been right there along with her because she’s always with us, we have to keep our eyes on her at all times!”
167
“Yeah!” Nicolas shouts, “maybe that guy Kurt’s mind is playing tricks on him!”
“That’s right officer!” Barry shouts, “because Diane has been here with us all day!
She never left our sight!”
“Okay,” Officer Kilpatrick says, “I understand. I just needed to hear YOUR side of the story, that’s all. It’s only fair that I hear BOTH sides of the story.”
“Look Officer!” Diane D shouts, “I am so sick and tired of these goddamn people accusing me of doing something that I don’t remember doing, just like that damn kid Marcus told everybody that I beat him up inside that school hallway that night then chased him down the back stairwell of that school building, and I don’t remember beating him up OR chasing him down the back stairwell of that school building either! I swear if people keep accusing me of doing things I’m not actually doing, I’m gonna have to start filing harassment charges against them!” Diane D turns around and walks away into the hallway. She then turns and disappears around the corner as Mary, Barry, Nicolas and the rest of their family members go after her.
Margarita turns to Officer Kilpatrick and says, “Look officer, I don’t know what the hell is going on. I don’t understand how that guy Kurt is seeing Diane when she’s with us!”“Yeah officer,” Tomas says, “Diane is only one person, she can’t be at two different places at the same time!”
“I know that and you know that, but try telling that to Kurt,” Officer Kilpatrick says.
“I’m sorry I had to come here and bother you all with this information, but I had to let you all know what Kurt claimed then get your side of the story.”
“We understand officer,” Margarita says. “Thanks for the information.”
“You’re welcome. If I get any more information, I’ll let you know.”
“Okay.”
“Take care.” Officer Kilpatrick turns around and walks away towards the doorway.
Several days later, Alex is walking inside the organization hallway. He sees Margarita on the side. He turns and starts to head towards her.
Alex approaches Margarita and says, “Hey Miss Margarita.”
“Hey Alex,” Margarita says. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing much. I heard you and your family took Diane back to see Dr. Stone a couple of days ago.”
“We did.”
“Oh yeah? Why?”
“To catch up on her memory assignments again.”
“To catch up on her memory assignments?”
“Yes so she can practice her memory again to see if she remembers this, to see if she remembers that, to see if she remembers doing this or to see if she remembers doing that, to see if she remembers being in this place or to see if she remembers being in that place because she still does not remember a lot of actions that she’s accused of in the past!”
“Like when that nurse inside the jail cell claimed Diane was staring at her and Diane claimed she never saw a nurse inside her jail cell that day.”
“Exactly!”
“Like when that woman Candis claimed Diane threatened her over the phone and 168
Diane claimed she never threatened Candis. Like when that kid Marcus claimed Diane beat him up inside the school hallway and she claimed she never beat him up. Like when Nancy claim Diane said those strange things to her inside your family’s home that night and Diane claimed she doesn’t remember saying those things to Nancy. Like when that guy Kurt claimed Diane was there when he got shot in the stairwell and Diane claimed she was never there. Now that guy Kurt claims Diane was outside some coffee shop window staring at him and she claim she was never there, but this time you and your family can prove Diane was never outside the coffee shop window staring at him because you and your family are with her all the time. You all keep an eye on her. She has no way of escaping from any of you to go stalk that guy Kurt and watch him outside a coffee shop window.”
“I know!”
“So why did that the guy Kurt swear he saw Diane outside the coffee shop window staring at him?!”
“I don’t know Alex, but whoever it was that guy Kurt saw outside the coffee shop window staring at him was not Diane, it was someone else.”
“Someone else? Like who? I mean who would stare him down outside a coffee shop window?”
“I have no idea Alex.” Margarita and Alex worriedly look at each other.
A couple of days later, Margarita is inside her office sitting behind her desk doing paperwork. Diane D is sitting on a chair besides Margarita’s desk again with a stack of papers on her lap with her arms folded angrily staring down at the stack of papers.
Margarita turns to Diane D and says, “Diane, are you okay?”
Diane D turns her head towards Margarita and says, “No I’m not okay Grandma. I’m still upset about that guy Kurt accusing me of stalking him. I’m still upset about him saying that I was in the stairwell when he got shot. I’m still upset about him and his family ruining it for me and Dana, causing that online commercial of me and her not to be played on the internet anymore, causing us not to make any more profits from it when someone was finally not afraid of me and was willing to put me in their project!”
“I’m sorry Diane. I know how you feel. I don’t like the fact that guy Kurt and his family stopped the online commercial either!” Diane D turns her head back forward and looks back down at the papers as Margarita asks, “So how’s your memory assignment coming along?”
“Very complicated Grandma.”
“I understand. Dr. Stone wants you to try to remember most of the stuff to exercise your memory.”
“Really. Do I have to do all this memory work because of what that guy Kurt said about seeing me outside some coffee shop window staring at him?”
“No it’s not because of that, we know you were with us the same time he claim to have seen you outside that coffee shop window. It’s because of your past memory lapses.”
“My past memory lapses?”
“Yes.”
“Oh. You mean like when Nancy claim I said those strange things to her inside the upstairs hallway that night and I don’t remember it?”
169
“And that kid Marcus claiming I beat him up inside the school hallway?”
“Yes, that’s why Dr. Stone and the rest of us want you to study the memory assignment. So let’s get back to it.”
“Get back to it? Am I gonna be able to step out and take a break soon Grandma?”
“You’ll get your break in about an hour.”
“An hour?”
“Yes. The sooner you finish the memory assignment, the sooner you can have your break.”
“Okay Grandma.” Diane D turns her head back forward and looks back down and study the memory assignments on the papers as Margarita continues to do paperwork at her desk.
Around ninety minutes later, Kurt is sitting on a park bench with a group of three male friends standing beside him as he looks to the side at them chit chatting with them.
He then looks forward. He suddenly becomes shocked and shouts, “Oh my God!”
“Oh my God?” one of the guys a white male says. “Oh my God what Kurt? What happened?”
“There’s Diane D again!”
“What!” Kurt friends shout. “Diane D again?!”
“What are you talking about Kurt?!” the first guy says. “What do you mean there’s Diane D again?!”
“She’s right there!” Kurt shouts as he points his finger way across the opposite side of the park.
Kurt’s friends quickly turn their heads around and look all the way towards the opposite side of the park. They stare towards the opposite side of the park. They faintly see a group of people very, very far away, but they do not see Diane D anywhere. They turn back to Kurt as the first guy says, “Kurt, I don’t see Diane D!”
“You don’t see her?!”
“No I don’t! I can’t see her from this far away!”
“I can’t see her either,” the second guy another white male says.
“You can’t?!” Kurt shouts.
“No.”
“Neither can I,” the third guy with olive skin and straight black hair says.
“What!” Kurt shouts. “You can’t see her either?! None of you guys see her at all?!
What are you all blind?! How can you all not see Diane D when she’s sitting way across the park looking right at me!”
“What!” his friends shout. “Looking at you?!”
“Diane D is looking at you?” the third guy says.
“Yeah!” Kurt shouts.
Kurt’s friends quickly turn their heads back around and look all the way towards the opposite side of the park again. They stare towards the opposite side of the park. They still faintly see a group of people very far away, but still see no sign of Diane D. “Kurt we still don’t see Diane D anywhere!” the first guy shouts as he continues to look way across the park. “We can’t really see way down there on the other side of the park anyway, the people are too far away, you can’t really see who they are, so how are you 170
gonna be able to tell who’s down there! You can’t even see the whites of their eyes, so how the hell are you gonna be able to tell if anybody from down there is looking at you from that far way?” The first guy turns back to Kurt and says, “Unless you happen to have a pair of binoculars on you. Do you have binoculars on you Kurt?”
“Binoculars?! No I have no goddamn binoculars on me! I can see her! She’s sitting way across the park with those people! Damn what the hell is she doing here?! She must have followed me here too!”
“Followed you?”
“Yeah, just like she did before when I saw her outside the coffee shop window!”
“My God Kurt!” the second guy shouts. “Are you sure you can see Diane D all the way from this distance?”
“Yes I can see her!”
“So that means she’s way across the park now?”
“Yes and she’s looking right over here!”
“Oh yeah? Is she looking at us?”
“No she’s not looking at you guys, she’s looking at me!”
“Looking at you?”
“Yeah!”
“Kurt isn’t Diane D on house arrest?” the third guy asks, “and doesn’t she be with her family at all times?!”
“Yes!”
“So how can she even be inside this park unless her family is there with her?”
“Maybe she escaped from them!”
“Escaped from them?!”
“Yeah! She managed to escaped from them before when she had me shot in the stairwell!”
“But doesn’t she wear ankle monitors where it will go off if she tries to escape from her family?”
“Maybe she somehow got those ankle monitors not to go off when she escaped from her family’s clutches and had me shot in the stairwell, and it looks like she might have escaped from her family’s clutches again!”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes!”
“Are you sure that Diane D is down that other end of the park Kurt?”
“Yes she’s down there, I can feel it!”
“You can feel it?”
“Yes! I can feel Diane D sitting over there looking at me, watching me!”
“Looking at you, watching you?”
“That’s right!”
“I thought you said that Diane D was sitting over there because you saw her sitting there, not because you can feel her sitting there!”
“It’s both! I see her sitting there and I can feel her sitting there staring at me!”
“Wow Kurt!” the first guy shouts as he looks way across the park again. “You must be have x-ray vision in order to see that far away because I still see no sign of Diane D
way from here.”
“You still don’t?!”
“No I can’t see Diane D anywhere!”
171
“Well maybe it’s not meant for any of you guys to see her! It’s probably only meant for me to see her because I can still see her looking at me!”
“You can?”
“Yes! I swear if she comes near me, I’m going to defend myself!”
“Defend yourself?” the third guys says. “In what way?”
“I am going to shoot her!”
“Shoot her?!” the guys shout.
“That’s right shoot her!” Kurt shouts.
“Oh no Kurt!” the third guy shouts. “Please don’t go there!”
“Why not?! She’s the one who’s starting this! I’m over here minding my business talking with you guys and there she is, sitting way across the park staring at me with those dagger eyes!”
“Staring at you with dagger eyes?” the second guy shouts.
“Yeah like she wants to come at me!”
“You can see her dagger eyes Kurt?”
“Yep, I sure can!”
Kurt’s friends turn their heads and worriedly look way across the park again. They still see no sign of Diane D. They then turn and look back at Kurt. Kurt sits there on the bench staring way across the park.
Way across the opposite side of the park, Diane D, Dana, their Aunt Celeste and their Aunt Laura are sitting on park benches that have tables there. Diane D and Dana are sitting right next to each other with Dana on Diane D’s right, Aunt Laura on Diane D’s left and Aunt Celeste sitting right across from Dana with the table between them.
“Come on Dana,” Aunt Celeste says, “you have to get back to your memory assignment now.”
“Oh yeah?” Dana says. “I thought I was on break Aunt Celeste.”
“Your break was over three minutes ago, but Grandma Margarita says you and Diane can continue to work on your memory assignments out here so you two can get some fresh air. Now Diane already started getting back on her memory assignments.”
Dana and Aunt Laura turn their heads and take a quick look at Diane D as Diane D
quietly sits there holding a stack of paper right up to her face studying her memory assignments. Aunt Laura holds Diane D’s papers and takes a quick look at the page Diane D is studying. “Now it’s your turn Dana,” Aunt Celeste says, “let’s get to it.” Aunt Celeste takes a stack of paper off the table, fixes the stack of paper then holds the stack of paper out to Dana. Dana angrily looks at the stack of paper. She then looks at Aunt Celeste. Aunt Laura then let go of Diane D’s papers. She takes a quick glance back at Diane D then turns towards the table and grabs some papers off the table as Diane D
continues to sit there quietly studying the memory assignments continuing to hold the papers right up to her face.
Back across the opposite side of the park, Kurt continues to sit there on the park bench facing the opposite side of the park as his friends continue to stand beside him looking way across the park. “Kurt,” the first guy says, “we still don’t see Diane D!”
“No?!” Kurt shouts. “I don’t know how you guys still don’t see her when she’s 172
sitting right there looking at me!”
“Are you sure she’s looking at you Kurt?” the third guy says. “Can she even see you all the way from that distance?”
“If she keeps looking right at me, I guess she can see me!” Kurt continues to sit there on the bench staring way across the park. He then starts to mumble to himself saying, “Yeah you want to try me bitch? If you want me, come and get me because I’m ready for you!”
Back across the opposite side of the park, Diane D continues to sit there on the park bench between Dana and Aunt Laura quietly holding the stack of paper right up to her face slightly looking right over the papers. Her slightly puffy slightly swollen vicious looking eyes secretly glare all the way across the park at Kurt!
Back across the opposite side of the park, Kurt continues to sit on the bench facing the opposite side of the park as his friends continue to stand beside him. He quickly turns his head to his friends and shouts, “See?! She’s staring at me again! Look!”
Kurt’s friends quickly turn their heads and look way across the opposite side of the park again. They still see no sign of Diane D. They stare across the park. They still cannot see Diane D. They turn back to Kurt. “Look Kurt,” the first guy says, “we still don’t see Diane D!”
“Oh no?!” Kurt shouts. “Well if you can’t see her from over here, go take a walk all the way over there!”
“Take a walk all the way over there?”
“Yeah, you’ll see her!”
“Oh yeah? Is that right?”
“Yeah!”
“No thank you Kurt, I don’t need to walk over there. There is one thing or one person that I do not care to run into or want to be bothered with, and that’s Diane D, especially after she killed all those authority figures including your father with that psychiatrist couch and injured around twenty other authority figures, some of them are still laying in the hospital, you think I want to run into her?! I don’t think so!”
“Me neither,” the third guys says.
“Neither do I because she’s dangerous!” the second guy shouts, “that’s why she’s in the mental institution!”
“What the hell is being locked up in a mental institution going to do if she is able to come out and sit right there on the park bench looking at me?!” Kurt shouts. “Oh Oh, there she goes again, looking right over here! She keeps staring at me with those dagger eyes!” Kurt’s friends turn their heads and look way across the park again. They still see no sign of Diane D. They turn their heads back around and puzzled look at Kurt as Kurt continues to sit there on the bench staring way across the park mumbling to himself, “Well what are you waiting for bitch? Come and get me!”
Back across the opposite side of the park, Diane D continues to sit there between Dana and Aunt Laura still quietly holding the papers right up to her face slightly looking 173
right over the papers secretly glaring across the park at Kurt. Her eyes appear more puffy, more swollen and more vicious looking as her eyes continue to secretly glare all the way across the park at Kurt appearing to read his mind as she hears him mumbling to her, “You want to try me bitch? Huh? Come on, you want to try me? Come on, what are you waiting for? Come and get me!”
Back across the opposite side of the park, Kurt turns to his friends and says, “She’s still looking over here at me!”
“She is?” the third guy says.
“Yeah and she won’t stop! I can’t take it anymore! I’m getting out of here!” Kurt shouts as he stands up from the bench.
“We’ll come with you.”
Kurt and his friends take one last look towards the opposite side of the park again.
They then turn and start to head towards the street.
Two hours later, Kurt and his friends are waiting at the elevator inside the lobby of his apartment building chit-chatting. He then looks up at the elevator floor numbers and says, “What’s taking this elevator so long? It’s been stuck up on the ninth floor for a while now.”
“Well maybe we should walk up,” the third guy says.
“You feel like walking all the way up to the sixth floor?”
“Yeah we can do it! As a matter of fact, stair climbing is good exercise. Think of it as mountain climbing.”
Kurt and his friends laugh a little. Kurt then says, “Okay let’s go.” Kurt and his friends turn and walk towards the stairway.
Three minutes later, Kurt and his friends are walking up the stairs inside his apartment building. They are heading up the fourth flight of stairs going up to the fourth floor. Kurt then looks up. He suddenly becomes shocked and stop right in his tracks as he shouts, “Oh my God!”
Kurt’s friends become startled and stop in their tracks too as the first guy shouts,
“Oh my God?! Oh my God what Kurt, what happened this time?!”
“There’s Diane D again!”
“What!” Kurt friends shout. “Diane D again?!”
“What are you talking about Kurt?!” the first guy shouts. “What do you mean there’s Diane D again?! In this building?!”
“Yes in this building!” Kurt shouts. “I just saw her!” Kurt shouts as he points his finger right up the stairs at the fourth floor stairwell door! “She was peeking at me right through the stairway door at the top of the stairs!”
“What!” Kurt friends shout.
“She was?!” the second guy shouts.
“Yeah!” Kurt quickly pulls his gun out of his pocket!
“Kurt!” the third guy shouts, “What are you doing?!”
“I’m going to defend myself, what do you think?!”
174
“Kurt, before you start to shoot at someone, are you sure it was Diane D you saw?!”
“Yes I’m sure it was her!”
“If it was Diane D you saw, then what is she doing inside this building?!”
“Most likely she followed me here!”
“Followed you?!”
“Yeah!”
“Why would she follow you?”
“To come after me!”
“Then how did she get inside this building?!”
“I don’t know!” Kurt runs up the stairs to the fourth floor stairway door as his friends hurry up the stairs behind him!
Kurt reaches the fourth floor landing and approaches the stairway door! He opens the stairway door then runs out the stairway into the fourth floor hallway as his friends rush behind him!
Kurt is slowly walking on the fourth floor hallway with his gun drawn He quickly looks around the fourth floor hallway and shouts, “Okay bitch! Where are you?! Where are you?!” Kurt and his friends nervously look around the fourth floor hallway. They do not see any sign of Diane D. Kurt’s friends worriedly turn to him as the third guy says, “Kurt are you sure you saw Diane D this time?”
“Yes I saw her!”
“Are you sure?! Because first you said you saw her at the park, now you say you see her here inside this building!”
“Because obviously she followed me here!”
“Are you sure it was Diane D you saw at the staircase door?”
“Yes I’m sure!”
“Kurt, how can you tell if it was Diane D peeking at you through the stairway door if the stairway door wasn’t opened all the way?” the second guy asks. “That could have been ANYBODY you saw peeking at you!”
“No, it wasn’t just anybody, that was Diane D I saw! First I caught her staring at me while we were at the park, now I catch her staring at me right in my own building right through the stairway door! She’s definitely stalking me, right in my own building!”
Kurt and his friends continue to turn their heads looking around the fourth floor hallway. They still do not see Diane D anywhere. Kurt then looks forward. He suddenly shouts, “There she is!” Kurt races to the opposite end of the hallway as his friends race behind him!
Kurt reaches the other end of the fourth floor hallway where another staircase door is. He opens the staircase door and runs into another stairway!
Kurt rushes into the stairway with his gun drawn as his friends rush behind him!
He quickly looks up and down the stairway and shouts, “Come on bitch! Where are you?!” Kurt and his friends look up and down the stairway. They do not see any sign of Diane D. They suddenly hear a stairway door slightly squeaking from one of the upper levels. “That’s her!” Kurt shouts. He hurries to the next flight of stairs and hurries up the stairs as his friends rush behind him!
175
Kurt and his friends reach the fifth floor landing of the stairwell as he draws his gun again! They quickly look around the fifth floor landing. They do not see Diane D
anywhere. Kurt then looks up. He suddenly shouts, “There she is, on MY floor!” Kurt quickly points his gun at the sixth floor stairway door and shoots at it! He starts to rush up the stairs with the gun as his friends stay behind!
On the sixth floor, a puffy eyed, swollen eyed and vicious looking eyed Diane D
quickly turns around from the stairway door and races towards the other end of the hallway! The sound of the stairway door is quickly heard bang open! Suddenly Diane D
leaps forward in a horizontal position as Kurt’s voice shouts, “Get off my floor bitch!”
She suddenly does a ninja side spin horizontally spinning her body to the side of the wall as a gunshot is heard and a bullet hits the wall just missing her! She then disappears into another staircase door at the other end of the hallway!
Kurt runs towards the opposite end of the hallway with his gun!
Kurt reaches the other end of the hallway where the other staircase door is! He looks at the wall where he shot towards Diane D! He sees a bullet hole right in the wall!
He then shouts, “Damn, the bullet didn’t even hit her! It hit the wall instead! She thinks she’s going to cause the bullet to miss her next time?! We’ll see about that because this time, I’m going to get her!” Kurt anxiously turns to the staircase door, he angrily kicks it wide open then rushes into the stairway!
Kurt quickly enters the stairway with his gun drawn! He quickly looks up and down the stairway. He does not see any sign of Diane D. He then shouts, “Come on Diane D, where are you?! I’m ready for you, where you at?! Come and get me!” He suddenly hears a stairway door slightly squeaking from one of the upper floors again. He hurries to the next flight of stairs and hurries up the stairs!
Kurt reaches the seventh floor landing of the stairwell as he draws his gun again!
He quickly looks around the seventh floor landing. He does not see Diane D anywhere.
He then shouts, “Come on Diane D show yourself, I’m ready for you! First you killed my dad and his colleagues, now you’re stalking me?! Well here I am bitch! Come and get me! Come and get me now!” Suddenly Kurt is kicked hard in the head and face as his head drops backwards! “Aaaaaahhh!” he screams as he holds his head and face then falls backward falling all the way down to the bottom of the stairs!
Kurt lands hard on the bottom of the stairs on the sixth floor landing in pain not able to move. He hears the sound of a door on an upper level squeaking again then slamming. He then screams, “Aaaaahhh! Somebody help meeee! Please someone heeeelp!”
Twenty-five minutes later, Kurt is on a stretcher being pulled out of the building by paramedics as his three friends follow him. The paramedics then put Kurt inside a waiting ambulance.
An hour later, the police are outside Kurt’s apartment building talking to Kurt’s friends as Officer Kilpatrick says to them, “Now you all said your friend Kurt kept saying 176
that he sees Diane D all the way at the opposite side of the park staring at him while you all were at the park, then he claim he saw her right inside his own apartment building stalking him?”
“That’s what he said,” the third guys says.
“And neither of you saw Diane D at all?”
“No none of us saw her!”
“You never saw her in the park.”
“No we couldn’t see from that far away.”
“And none of you saw her inside the building either.”
“No, just Kurt so far. The only thing we heard was a stairway door squeaking from one of the upper levels, but we never saw anybody.”
“Well someone kicked him in the head and face!”
“My God officer!” the second guys shouts. “Do you know who that could be?”
“No I don’t. If it wasn’t Diane D, it had to have been someone else who did it!”
“Are you checking around the building for any suspicious persons?” the first guy asks.“Yes we’re checking around the building, but we still haven’t seen or caught anybody yet. We also checked the security cameras. We couldn’t find any suspicious persons or suspicious activities on them.”
“Wow, this is a big mystery.”
“It sure is.” Officer Kilpatrick and Kurt’s friends puzzledly look towards the building.
The following day, Kurt is laying in the hospital bed again with a bandage wrapped around his head and face and a bandage wrapped around his arm and leg. He is surrounded by his mother Mrs. Reid, his brother Kyle and Officer Kilpatrick as Mrs. Reid shouts to him, “My God Kurt! You’re in the hospital again because of Diane D?! Now this is ridiculous! First you spotted her in the stairwell when you got shot at her family’s organization, then you spotted her watching you outside a coffee shop window, then you spotted her watching you all the way from the other side of the park, then you spotted her stalking you right inside your own apartment building, then you get kicked in the face which caused you to fall down the stairs and break your bones?! What is with you and Diane D, especially inside these staircases?!
“I don’t know Mom!” Kurt shouts, “it WAS Diane D I saw at the staircase doorway inside my building! She was right on my own floor! When I ran up the stairs from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, I opened the staircase door then rushed into the sixth floor hallway! When I rushed into the sixth floor hallway, I caught her running away from me running down the other end of the hallway!”
“What!” Mrs. Reid and Kyle shout.
“You caught Diane D running away from you on your floor?!” Kyle asks.
“Yes!” Kurt shouts.
“My God Kurt, how did she wind up on your floor?! How did she even know where you live?!”
“Most likely she followed me all the way from the park?!
“Followed you all the way from the park?” Officer Kilpatrick asks. “You think Diane D actually followed you from the park?”
177
“Well she had to have followed me! How else would she know where I live?!”
“But how did she get inside your apartment building?!”
“I have no idea Officer! You still didn’t find any suspicious persons or suspicious activities on the security cameras?!”
“No we still didn’t.”
“You must have not looked carefully!”
“We looked at the security cameras several times. We still didn’t find any suspicious persons or suspicious activities on them.”
“No?”
“No.”
“My God! You have to do something about Diane D Officer, she’s stalking me left and right! She made it as far as to my apartment building and wind up on my own floor!” Everyone worriedly looks at Kurt.
Two hours later, Officer Kilpatrick is at the Diaz-Davidson Organization. He is in the middle of speaking to Diane D’s family about what happened to Kurt as Diane D’s family shout, “What!”
“He claim he saw Diane at the staircase doorway inside his building on his floor?!”
Barry shouts.
“That’s what he said,” Officer Kilpatrick says. “He said when he ran up the stairs from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, he opened the staircase door then rushed into the sixth floor hallway. When he rushed into the hallway, he claim he caught Diane D
running away from him running down the other end of the hallway.”
“What!” the family shout.
“He claim he caught Diane running away from him?!” Margarita asks.
“That’s what he said,” Officer Kilpatrick says.
“Oh no, here we go again!” Mary turns around and shouts. She turns back forward and shouts to Officer Kilpatrick, “First this guy Kurt claimed that Diane was around when he got shot in the stairwell here at our organization! Then he claims she was outside some coffee shop window staring at him, now he’s claiming that she was at the opposite side of the park staring at him while she was sitting on the park bench studying her memory assignments, then he claims that he caught her stalking him right inside his own apartment building right on his floor then kicked him in the head and face inside the stairwell which caused him to fall down the flight of stairs?! He keeps saying that he sees Diane everywhere and keeps accusing her of being there whenever he gets hurt inside a stairwell!”
“That’s right officer!” Margarita shouts. “Diane was nowhere near that guy Kurt or inside his apartment building, she was with us! She has no reason to even be inside his apartment building, plus she doesn’t even know where he lives!”
“Yeah officer!” Barry shouts. “So how could Diane be inside Kurt’s apartment building if she doesn’t know where he lives?!”
“I don’t know,” Officer Kilpatrick says. “All I can tell you is what Kurt told me. Now are you all sure that Diane D was with you all the whole entire time and never once left your sight?”
“Yes she was with us this whole entire time officer!” Tomas shouts. “We have to keep our eyes on her!”
178
“She’s in the back room with the rest of our family.”
A few minutes later, Officer Kilpatrick is talking to Diane D as he says to her, “Well Kurt claim he saw you at the staircase doorway inside his building right on his floor.”
“Right on his floor?!” Diane D shouts. “Officer, how can I be on that guy’s floor, I don’t even know where the hell he lives, so how could I be on his floor?”
“He claim most likely you followed him.”
“Followed him?!” the family shouts.
“He thinks Diane followed him?!” Tomas shouts.
“Well he claim she had to have followed him because how else would she know where he lives,” Officer Kilpatrick says.
“Officer I did not follow anybody!” Diane D shouts, “I was with my family the whole time! I’m with my family at all times, they’re my witnesses!”
“Okay Diane D, I just had to hear it from you, that’s all. So far we still have to investigate who kicked Kurt inside the stairwell of his apartment building.”
“Well we hope you catch whoever did that to him Officer,” Barry says, “as long as the person you catch is not Diane.”
“Well it shouldn’t be her if she was with you all the whole time. I have to go now.
Talk to you later.” Officer Kilpatrick turns around and heads towards the doorway.
Three hours later, Kurt is still laying in the hospital bed surrounded by his mother Mrs. Reid, his brother Kyle and Officer Kilpatrick as Officer Kilpatrick says, “Kurt, when I spoke to Diane D and her family, her family, they said she was with them the whole entire time and she never once left their sight.”
“She never left their sight?!” Kurt shouts.
“That’s what they said.”
“Baloney! Their asses are lying to protect her! They’re her family and they’re going to protect her all the way, even if she IS a killer!”
“Kurt, are you sure it was Diane D you saw in the park and in the stairwell of your apartment building on your floor?”
“Yes!”
“And no one else saw her.”
“No!”
“Are you sure you’re not dreaming or having a nightmare about Diane D stalking you or coming after you?”
“No I’m not dreaming nor having a nightmare about Diane D stalking me or coming after me Officer, I’m wide awake! I saw her!”
“Then how come neither of your friends saw her?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know why none of my friends saw her! Maybe she didn’t mean for any of my friends to see her! She probably only meant for me to see her so that way everyone could think that I’m going crazy! She might be mad at me knowing that my family and I are the cause of that online commercial with her and her cousin Dana to be removed from the internet and is stalking me for it!”
“You think so?”
179
“Yes I do! Please do something about Diane D stalking me Officer! If she can kill all those authority figures including my dad and was around when I got shot in the stairwell at her family’s organization and stalk me outside a coffee shop window then watch me all the way from the other side of the park, then take it as far as getting inside my apartment building and making it as far as to the sixth floor right where I live, who knows what she is capable of next!” Officer Kilpatrick, Mrs. Reid and Kyle worriedly look at Kurt.
