Diane D Is Out On House Arrest: Everyone In Fear Hearing Of Her Presence!
At the organization, three staff members Alex, a tall slim white Hispanic male with straight black hair, Vivian, a stocky black woman and Kory, a slim black male are out in 32
the hallway chit chatting as Vivian shockingly says to Alex, “Are you serious Alex?!
Diane is here, at the organization?!”
“Yeah,” Alex says.
“What is she doing here?!”
“Yeah!” Kory shouts. “We thought she was locked up in the mental institution!”
“Well she was,” Alex says, “but she’s not locked up there now, she’s here visiting!”
“Visiting?!”
“Yeah.”
“How the hell is she able to visit while she’s locked up in a mental institution?!”
“Well they let her out temporarily.”
“They let her out temporarily?!”
“Yeah.”
“How were they able to let her out temporarily?!” Vivian asks.
“They put her back into her family’s custody temporarily because I think she’s on house arrest.”
“House arrest?!” Vivian and Kory shout.
“Diane’s on house arrest?!” Kory shouts.
“Yeah,” Alex says, “and she’s right inside Miss Margarita’s office sitting on a chair right beside Miss Margarita’s desk.”
“What!” Vivian and Kory shout.
“She’s inside Miss Margarita’s office?!” Kory shouts.
“Yeah,” Alex says.
“Where’s Miss Margarita?!”
“She’s sitting behind her desk.”
“She is? So she got Diane sitting right next to her?!”
“Yeah.”
“Why does she have Diane sitting there besides her desk?!”
“Because Miss Margarita has Diane on a tight leash! In other words, she won’t let Diane out of her sight! She’s keeping a close eye on Diane.”
“She is?”
“Yes she is.”
“Wow.”
“When did Diane come out the mental institution?” Vivian asks.
“I think she came out the other night,” Alex says.
“The other night?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow.”
“You know I would like to see Diane,” Kory says, “but I’m afraid to.”
“So am I.”
“Oh yeah?” Alex says. “You two are afraid to see Diane?”
“Of course we are!” Kory shouts.
“Why?”
“What do you mean ‘why’ Alex, she’s a killer! In case you didn’t know, Diane killed six people last year, six people! She didn’t just kill six people, she killed six authority figures! She didn’t just kill them, she slaughtered them! She turned into a vicious assassin when those authority figures tried to enter that hypnosis room and she caused that kid Marcus to take his own life when she couldn’t stay the hell out of his dreams 33
“Stay out of his dreams and nightmares? Kory Diane doesn’t have control over anybody’s dreams or nightmares.”
“Well I think in this case, she does! That’s why I’m afraid to see her! I don’t want to be her next victim! I don’t want to have nightmares about her! I don’t even know why she would be let out of the mental institution after what she did, she should be in prison!
Why didn’t they send her to prison?!”
“Because she was found not guilty due to insanity.”
“Not guilty due to insanity? That’s why she’s not in prison?”
“I’m afraid so. I think her mental illness sort of helped her get away with murder.”
“Helped her get away with murder?! Well if she’s insane, she shouldn’t even be let out of the mental institution because we all could be in danger here! She should be sent right back to the mental institution and never come back out!”
“Well Diane is going to be here for a short while, so we might all have to get used to it.” “Oh yeah?!” Vivian shouts. “I’m not going to get used to it! I’m not gonna continue to work here while Diane is around!”
“Me neither!” Kory shouts.
“I know,” Alex says. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.” Alex, Vivian and Kory turn and start to walk down the hallway. Suddenly, a group of pre-teen white and Hispanic children rush down the hallway towards them. The children anxiously approach them.
Alex, Vivian and Kory puzzled look at the children who seem kind of scared. “Are you all alright?” Alex asks them. “Are you all okay?”
“Yeah,” Vivian says to them. “You all seem sort of scared or something! What’s the matter?”
“We just passed by Miss Margarita’s office doorway!” one of the white boys shouts out of breath. “As we passed by her office doorway, we saw Diane inside Miss Margarita’s office sitting in a chair right beside Miss Margarita’s desk!”
“What!” the staff members shout.
“You saw Diane inside Miss Margarita’s office sitting in a chair beside Miss Margarita’s desk?!” Vivian asks.
“Yeah!” the white boy shouts.
“Yeah Alex just told us that she’s sitting in there!”
“She was facing the doorway while Miss Margarita was on the phone!”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes!”
“But why do you all seem so scared?”
“Because we saw Diane just sitting there in the chair facing the doorway angrily looking out the doorway at us!”
“What!” the staff members shout.
“You saw Diane sitting in a chair facing the doorway angrily looking out the hallway at you?” Vivian asks.
“Yeah!” another boy shouts. “It looked like she was in a bad mood or something!”
“A bad mood?!”
“Yeah! And now we’re afraid to go back pass Miss Margarita’s office doorway again because we’re scared to see Diane again!”
“But why would Diane be angrily looking at you all?” Alex asks.
34
“We don’t know! All we know, is that we saw her just sitting there in the chair angrily looking out towards the doorway at us!”
“Yeah!” the first boy shouts. “And when we saw her, we saw a black object strapped around both of her ankles!”
“What!” Vivian and Kory shout.
“You saw a black object strapped around both of Diane’s ankles?!” Kory shouts.
“You mean ankle monitors?!”
“Ankle monitors?!” Vivian shouts. “Oh no! Don’t tell me that Diane is wearing ankle monitors!”
“Ankle monitors?” a third boy asks. “What’s that?”
“It’s something that criminals have to wear, that’s what it is!”
“In other words,” Alex says, “it’s something that people have strapped around their ankle or ankles when they’re on house arrest or something.”
“House arrest?” the second boy asks. “What’s that?”
“It’s a place that criminals have to be at!” Vivian shouts, “that’s what it is!”
“In other words,” Alex says, “house arrest is when people are confined inside their home or somewhere else instead of being confined inside jail or prison.”
“Instead of being confined inside jail or prison?” the third boy asks. “So is Diane on house arrest?”
“That’s what we heard.”
“Oh no! So what are we gonna do?! We have to go back pass Miss Margarita’s office door again, but we’re afraid to go pass her office door again because we might see Diane angrily looking out the doorway at us again!”
“Yeah and we don’t want to be the next Marcus!” a first boy shouts.
“What!” Alex, Vivian and Kory shout. “Don’t want to be the next Marcus?!”
“That’s right! We don’t want to take any chances!”
“Wow that is deep!” Kory shouts. “Are you kids sure that Diane was sitting in the chair facing the doorway angrily looking out the hallway at you like she was in a bad mood?”
“Yeah we saw her!” one of the girls shouts.
“Did Miss Margarita notice it? Did she notice Diane’s mood?”
“I don’t think so, because she was busy talking on the phone!”
“So she didn’t seem to notice anything at all?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Wow.” Kory turns to Alex and Vivian and says, “Do y’all think it could be a possibility, that it’s Diane’s other personality sitting there in the chair inside Miss Margarita’s office beside her desk angrily looking out in the hallway at these kids, and Miss Margarita might not even be aware of it?”
“Well after hearing all of this,” Vivian says, “I’m afraid that it IS a possibility that it could be Diane’s other personality sitting there next to Miss Margarita! I’m afraid to go pass Miss Margarita’s office door myself! I don’t want that vicious personality to look at me!”“But I heard that Diane’s other personality does not come around her family,” Alex says. “So most likely, that’s Diane’s original personality sitting there in the room with Miss Margarita, not her OTHER personality.” Alex quickly turns back to the children and says, “When you kids saw Diane sitting there in the chair, did you notice anything odd or peculiar about her facial appearance?”
35
“Anything odd or peculiar about her facial appearance?” the girl asks. “What do you mean?”
“I mean did Diane’s facial appearance look different?”
“Did her facial appearance look different? In what way?”
“Did she look like herself?”
“Did she look like herself?”
“Yeah. I mean did her face look normal, or did it look sort of pale or did her eyes appear kind of puffy or swollen?”
“Well her eyes did look kind of puffy.”
“It did?!”
“Yeah, but her face didn’t really look pale.”
“Her face didn’t look pale?”
“No, it looked normal to me when I saw her.”
“It did?”
“Yeah.”
“So the only thing you noticed, was that her eyes appeared kind of puffy?”
“Yeah, but Diane’s eyes always look puffy, she has puffy eyes all the time!”
“Yeah you’re right.”
“I guess she was born that way.”
“Yeah I guess so.”
“So what are we gonna do about going back pass Miss Margarita’s office doorway?!”
the first boy shouts.
“Well we have to try to reach Miss Margarita to see if she can get her office door shut.”
“Really,” Vivian says. “And how are we going to do that if she’s on the phone?”
“Well she might be off the phone by now. Let me try to call her.” Alex pulls his cell phone out of his pocket. He gets on his cell phone and dials a number. He puts the cell phone to his ear. He listens for several seconds. He then takes the cell phone off his ear.
He turns to Vivian and Kory and says, “She didn’t pick up. She might still be on the other line.” Suddenly, Alex, Vivian and Kory hear voices coming their way. They turn the opposite direction from where the children ran and see Stephanie and other staff members anxiously approaching them.
“Hey you guys!” Stephanie shouts as she and the other staff members hurry to Alex, Vivian and Kory. Stephanie then shouts, “We heard that Diane is back!”
“She is,” Alex says.
“Really?!” Stephanie says as she and the other staff members approach Alex, Vivian and Kory. Stephanie then says, “Well we want to see her, but are sort of afraid to.”
“So is everyone else!”
“Yeah we’re all afraid to see Diane!” Vivian shouts. “These kids right here said that they had just went right pass Miss Margarita’s office doorway and saw Diane just sitting there in the chair right next to Miss Margarita’s desk angrily looking out towards the hallway at them!”
“What!” Harvey, a stocky black male, shouts. “These kids saw Diane sitting in a chair right next to Miss Margarita’s desk angrily looking out towards the hallway at them?”
“Yeah!” Alex says. “And when they saw that, that’s when they ran to us. Now they’re afraid to go back pass Miss Margarita’s office doorway again! They claim they 36
don’t want to be the next Marcus!”
“What!” the other staff members shout. “Don’t want to be the next Marcus?!”
“Well shoot can you blame them?!” Harvey shouts. “I wouldn’t want them to be the next Marcus either! I’m afraid that if any of us go pass Miss Margarita’s office doorway, that powerful and murderous other personality of Diane’s could come out to the surface and strike again, and I don’t want any of us to be the next Marcus, the next police officers, the next swat team members or the next priest!”
“So you think it could be that OTHER personality sitting there right next to Miss Margarita’s desk and Miss Margarita doesn’t even know it?” Evette asks.
“It could be,” Vivian says.
“Well someone should tell her about it!”
“I just told Vivian and Kory that I heard Diane’s other personality does not come around her family!” Alex says.
“So why is she sitting there in the chair giving these kids a hard look?!” Kory shouts.
“I don’t know Kory! Maybe these kids just happen to caught her in a bad mood or something!” Alex turns to Evette and says, “Look Evette. I tried to call Miss Margarita’s phone to tell her, but she didn’t pick up. These kids said they saw her talking on her phone when they passed by her office and saw Diane sitting in a chair next to her.”
“They did?” Evette asks.
“Yeah.”
“Oh. Well I would like to take a peek inside the room at Diane, but I’m afraid to.”
“So don’t do it then.” Alex looks to the side. He suddenly sees two other staff members Monique and Valerie approaching.
Monique and Valerie approach Alex as Monique says, “Hey what’s up guys?”
“Hey Monique,” Alex says. “Where are you two on your way to?”
“We’re going to see Miss Margarita real quick,” Valerie says.
“You’re going to see Miss Margarita?”
“Yeah. We want to know if she can give us some time off next month so we can go to a wedding down in Atlanta.”
“Go to a wedding down in Atlanta? You two planning to go to a wedding?”
“Yeah. A cousin of mine is getting married, and Monique and I are planning to be there at the wedding.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah so we need Miss Margarita’s permission to take off.”
“Oh, okay. So you’re getting ready to go into Miss Margarita’s office to ask her now?”
“Yeah.”
Monique turns to Valerie and says, “Come on Valerie. Let’s see if we can try to catch Miss Margarita before she leaves her office.”
“Okay.” Valerie turns to Alex and the rest of the staff and says, “We’ll be right back guys.”
“I hope you two come back,” Kory says.
Valerie and Monique puzzled look at Kory as Monique says, “You hope we come back?! What do you mean ‘you hope we come back’?”
“I hope you two come back out of Miss Margarita’s office, alive.”
“What?” Monique and Valerie say.
“You hope we come back out of Miss Margarita’s office alive?” Valerie asks. “What 37
“Yeah,” Monique says. “Why wouldn’t we come back out of Miss Margarita’s office alive?”
“Well some people didn’t make it out alive,” Kory says.
“Some people didn’t make it out alive? You mean out of Miss Margarita’s office?
Why wouldn’t anybody come back out of Miss Margarita’s office alive Kory? I know Miss Margarita can be a tough cookie sometimes, but all we want to do is ask her for some time off next month so we can attend a wedding down in Atlanta, that’s all.
What’s wrong with that? She’s not going to harm us for that is she, she’s not like that. I mean what is she going to do to us?”
“It’s not what SHE’S going to do to you, it’s what her GRANDDAUGHTER might do to you?”
“Her granddaughter?” Monique and Valerie puzzled ask.
“Who Nancy?” Monique asks. “Charlotte? Are they inside Miss Margarita’s office?
Why would they harm us? Because they don’t want us disturbing their grandmother?”
Monique laughs.
“No Nancy and Charlotte aren’t inside Miss Margarita’s office,” Kory says.
“They’re not?”
“No.”
“You just said Miss Margarita’s granddaughter is inside her office, then you said Nancy and Charlotte are not in there. I know you’re not talking about Miss Margarita’s other two granddaughters Raquel and Elisa, because they stay and work at her other businesses down in the Dominican Republic. And I KNOW you’re not talking about Diane either because she’s locked up in a mental institution.”
“Well that’s exactly who I’m talking about.”
“Who? Raquel and Elisa?”
“No not those two!”
“Then who?”
“Diane!”
“Diane?!” Monique and Valerie shout.
“Yes Diane is in there!” Harvey shouts. “She’s inside Miss Margarita’s office!”
“What!” Monique and Valerie shout.
“She is?!” Monique shouts.
“Yes!” Harvey shouts. “We heard she’s sitting right inside Miss Margarita’s office sitting on a chair right beside Miss Margarita’s desk!”
“What?!” Monique and Valerie shout.
“You’re kidding us right?” Valerie shouts.
“No we’re not kidding you!” Harvey shouts, “Alex saw her! And these kids saw her too!”“Oh yeah?!”
“Yes!”
“Oh my God, what is she doing here?! Isn’t she supposed to be locked up at the Mental Institution?!”
“She was but we think she’s out temporarily on house arrest!”
“House arrest?!” Valerie and Monique shout.
“Diane is on house arrest?!” Monique shouts.
“Yeah!” Harvey shouts.
38
“So if you two want to make it back out of Miss Margarita’s office alive, my best advice, is for none of you to step foot inside that office!” Kory shouts.
“What!” Valerie and Monique shout.
“We all heard about the bloodshed that happened inside that hypnosis room last year when Diane turned into an assassin!”
“Turned into an assassin?!” Valerie and Monique shout. “Oh noo!!” Valerie and Monique frighteningly look at each other.
“So what are we gonna do?!” Monique asks.
“Well I’m not going in there Monique!” Valerie shouts.
“You’re not?!”
“Hell no! I want to come back out of that office alive! If Diane is in there, we might not make it back out of that office alive! Like Kory said, she’s an assassin! Those police officers, swat team members and the priest didn’t make it out of that hypnosis room alive last year!” Everyone frighteningly looks at Valerie. Valerie then says, “I got family that I want to see again and they want to see me again too! All I know is, I’m not going in there!”
“Well shit I’m not going inside that office either!”
“So what are you two gonna do about asking Miss Margarita if you can take time off next month?” Alex asks.
“I don’t know Alex!” Valerie shouts. “I guess we will have to try calling her on the phone later or wait to catch her when Diane is not there!”
“How are you going to do that when Miss Margarita is not even letting Diane out of her sight?”
“What do you mean?”
“She’s got Diane sitting right in that chair next to her! She’s got a close eye on Diane!
So if whenever you see Miss Margarita, you might have to see Diane as well.”
“What!” Valerie and Monique shout. “Oh no!”
“Wow this is crazy!” Monique shouts.
“It sure is!” Valerie shouts.
Alex looks to the side. He becomes excited and shouts, “Hey, here comes Nicolas and Mickey!” The rest of the people turn their heads. They see Nicolas and Mickey coming down the hallway towards their direction. They become excited too as Alex says,
“Maybe they can get their grandma to shut her office door.”
“Yeah let’s ask them!” Vivian says. She then shouts to Nicolas and Mickey, “Hey Nicolas and Mickey! Come over here!”
Nicolas and Mickey look towards Vivian as they continue to walk towards her way.
Nicolas and Mickey approach Vivian and the rest of the crowd as Nicolas says, “Hey, what’s up guys? What’s going on?”
“Your sister!” Vivian shouts, “that’s what’s going on!”
“My sister? What are you talking about?”
“We hear your sister is back! We hear she’s sitting right inside your grandma’s office right next to your grandma’s desk! These kids got scared when they walked passed your grandmother’s office door and saw your sister sitting there in a chair right next to your grandma’s desk facing the doorway angrily looking at them!”
Nicolas and Mickey look at the kids as Nicolas asks them, “You kids got scared when you saw Diane sitting in the chair facing the doorway looking at you?”
“Yeah!” the kids shout.
39
“They claim they don’t want to be the next Marcus,” Alex says.
“What!” Nicolas and Mickey shout.
“Don’t want to be the next Marcus?!” Mickey shouts.
“That’s what they claim,” Alex says. “We don’t want them to be the next Marcus either.”
“Yeah!” Vivian shouts. “When we heard that Diane is back and sitting right inside your grandma’s office facing the doorway angrily looking at these kids, we got afraid to go pass your grandmother’s office door ourselves because we don’t want to be the next Marcus, the next police officers, the next swat team members or the next priest either!”
“What!” Nicolas and Mickey shout.
“Hey listen you guys,” Nicolas says, “for your information, Diane is not thinking about any you or any of these kids! I think you all are blowing this situation way out of proportion!”
“Blowing this situation out of proportion?!”
“That’s right.”
“So why is Diane sitting in a chair inside your grandma’s office facing the doorway angrily looking out the hallway at these kids?”
“Because she’s upset about something else, that’s why she was angrily looking out towards the hallway! And what she’s upset about has absolutely nothing to do with these kids!”
“It doesn’t?”
“No!”
“So what is it then?” Alex asks. “Why is she upset?”
“Because she wants to open up a personal training class again here while she’s out on house arrest and out of the mental institution temporarily and she can’t seem get any students to apply to her class! She is having a hard time getting students to apply, nobody wants to apply for her personal training class anymore, that’s why she’s upset!”
“That’s why?”
“Yes!”
“How come nobody wants to apply for her personal training class anymore?”
“Because people are still afraid of her OTHER personality! Not only that, Diane wants to get up from the chair and leave the office for a while, but my grandma is not letting her!”
“She’s not?”
“No! My grandma yelled at Diane earlier and told Diane that she is not going anywhere for a little while and to just sit in that chair and stay there! My grandma is making Diane stay in that chair all day and not letting her get up at all, so Diane is upset and pissed off about that too! So she just sat there angry and started looking out towards the doorway into the hallway since the doorway is right there in front of her, right in her view! That’s probably when these kids happened to walk by and saw her!
Most likely, Diane was probably already looking out into the hallway when these kids happened to walk pass the office doorway and saw her! It was the timing of it all, that’s what happened, the perfect timing!”
“Oh I see. So these kids just happened to walk by your grandma’s office door while Diane was angry and upset about not being able to get any students for her personal training class and your grandma making her stay in that chair?”
“Exactly! Her anger has nothing to do with these kids.”
40
“But I don’t get it!” Kory shouts. “Your sister wants to open up a personal training class again while she’s out on house arrest and out of the mental institution temporarily and nobody wants to apply for her personal training class, that’s why she’s upset?!”
“Yeah that’s why she’s upset.”
“Does your sister really expect anybody in their right mind to apply for her personal training class or any of her classes after what she did?! I mean is she for real?!”
“It’s not that she expects anybody in their right mind to apply for any of her classes after what she did! The fact is, she still doesn’t believe she did anything wrong!”
“What!” everyone shouts.
“She still doesn’t believe she did anything wrong?!” Vivian shouts. “You mean to tell us, that your sister still believes she’s innocent?! She still doesn’t believe that she killed all those people?!”
“No!” Nicolas shouts, “she still doesn’t believe she did it!”
“But you were there Nicolas!” Harvey shouts. “You were inside that hypnosis room right along with the rest of your family! You and your family members witnessed the whole entire thing! You all saw what your sister did! You saw all the horror and bloodshed that happened inside and around that hypnosis room! We heard that you and your family members almost got hurt yourselves when your sister threw that psychiatrist couch right above your heads and practically skinning your heads when she tossed that psychiatrist couch across the room at those police officers and swat team members!”
“That’s right Nicolas!” Kory shouts. “We heard that when your sister threw that psychiatrist couch right over you and your family’s heads, that you all had duck just in the nick of time! If none of you had ducked in time, that psychiatrist couch would have slammed right into you and your family’s heads instead of those authority figures’ heads and you and your family would have been the ones hurt or killed instead of those authority figures! You and your family members were able to save yourselves from that deadly flying psychiatrist couch, but not the authority figures, huh?! You all were spared!”
“Hey that’s not true Kory!” Nicolas shouts. “It was a split second decision! We felt that psychiatrist couch was about to fly right at our heads so we automatically ducked in time! That’s something anybody would do!”
“So Nicolas!” Vivian shouts. “Your sister still believes she’s innocent, she still believes in her whole heart that she did nothing wrong, huh. Since you’re one of Diane’s family members who WAS there inside that hypnosis room who witnessed everything that happened in there from the beginning to the end, tell us! Did your sister do it or not! Did she kill all those authority figures who tried to enter that hypnosis room?!”
Nicolas sadly hesitates. He then gets tears in his eyes as he sadly says, “I’m not going to lie to you. The truth is ‘yes’. It was Diane’s body who did all of that!”
“What!” everyone shouts. “It was Diane’s body?! Oh God!”
“But it wasn’t her mind who did that! Her mind wasn’t there!”
“Her mind wasn’t there?!” Vivian shouts. “Well who the hell’s mind was there then?!”
“I’m afraid only God knows the answer to that question.”
“Oh my God.”
Everyone frighteningly stares at Nicolas. They then sadly stare at him. Alex then says, “Nicolas? Could you go see if your grandmother can close her office door? These 41
kids would like to go past that direction again.”
“Sure,” Nicolas says.
“Since you’re going in there, I might as well go in with you. I would like to go into the office and see Diane.”
“What!” the other staff members shout.
“Diane is not allowed any visitors right now Alex,” Nicolas says.
“She isn’t?” Alex asks.
“No. She’s not here for pleasure, she’s only out temporary on house arrest to visit for a few or several days. After the temporary visit and house arrest is up, she has to be sent back to the mental institution.”
“She does?”
“Yeah. But I’ll see if my grandma will let you visit Diane later on, how’s that?”
“No problem, thanks.”
“Okay.” Nicolas and Mickey sadly turn and walk down the hallway. They walk down further towards Margarita’s office as everyone turns and sadly stares at them.
The following day, children and staff members are walking around outside the organization back yard. One of the male children suddenly looks in the distance and shouts, “Oh oh! There goes Diane again! And she’s walking with her cousin Dana!” The other children and staff members quickly turn their heads to look. They see Diane D
and Dana in the distance walking around the organization yard.
Several yards away, a serious looking Diane D who is now around 28-years old wearing a short jacket with short sleeves, a matching mini skirt, black stockings and thick black shoes is walking around with two ankle monitors strapped around both her ankles as a serious looking Dana, who is now around 29-years old wearing an identical short jacket with short sleeves, a matching mini skirt, black stockings, thick black shoes with two ankle monitors strapped around both her ankles also, walks right behind her.
Suddenly Diane D stops walking, turns her head to her right and looks in the distance right towards the children and staff members. Dana stops right behind Diane D, turns her head to her right and looks in the distance towards the children and staff members too.
“Oh oh,” one of the girls whispers. “They’re staring this way!” The children and staff members see Diane D and Dana looking towards them. They become nervous as they stare at Diane D and Dana.
“They look very serious too,” Alex whispers.
“They do,” Stephanie whispers. “They got that death stare.”
“They sure do,” Vivian whispers. “Hey. Are those the ankle monitors we heard Diane has been wearing?”
“Yep,” Alex says. “That sure is. Dana is wearing ankle monitors too.”
“She too?!” Stephanie whispers. “Why is SHE wearing ankle monitors?”
“Didn’t you hear? Miss Margarita had Dana committed right along with Diane.”
“Yeah I heard! But Dana didn’t do anything before she was committed, Diane is the one who killed all those people, not Dana!”
“I know, but Dana did do a hell of a lot of damages to other people in the past too, 42
like causing that female officer to get shot in the back when she threw and tossed that female officer right in the line of fire throwing her right in front of a live bullet that was meant for her and caused the poor woman to be paralyzed for life and caused the other female officer to have a miscarriage when she backed kicked that woman right in the abdominal so hard then beat the hell out of the woman and left her for dead! She wind up killing the woman’s unborn baby! And now the poor woman can never have children, thanks to Dana! She showed no remorse inside the courtroom when she found out the woman had a miscarriage and can never have children, she absolutely showed no remorse! I mean Dana did so much dirt in the past, I can’t even count!”
“She sure did,” Kory says. “I wouldn’t want to come near her or want to be around her either because she’s just as bad as Diane! They’re both killers!”
“They sure are because I can’t even count all the dirt Diane did in the past either and she did a whole lot of dirt too! Sometimes I don’t know who’s the worst between those two!”
“Me neither!” Stephanie says. “I guess the lesser of two evils.”
“The lesser of two evils? Yeah but which one?”
“None of them!” Kory shouts, “because in their case, there is no lesser of two evils, they’re both exactly the same! You all heard of the term ‘kissing cousins’ right?”
“Yeah.”
“Well in this case, they’re not ‘kissing cousins’ they’re ‘killer cousins’!”
“Killer cousins?!” everyone shouts.
“Wow Kory!” Alex shouts. “That’s deep!”
“I know, isn’t it?” Kory, Alex, Stephanie, Vivian, the other staff members and the children continue to stare at Diane D and Dana.
Several yards away, Diane D turns her head back forward. Dana turns her head back forward and continues to walk. Diane D then walks behind Dana as they both continue to look forward going about their business.
The children and staff members continue to look at Diane D and Dana as Vivian says,
“Well there they go, birds of a feather flock together.”
“Was that Diane’s OTHER personality right there with Dana?” Stephanie asks.
“We don’t know,” Kory says, “and I wouldn’t want to find out either!”
“I told you all,” Alex says, “Diane’s other personality does not come around her family! And Dana IS Diane’s family.”
“Well for all we know, maybe Dana gets along with Diane’s other personality! I mean she does behave like Diane’s other personality at times, maybe she gets along with it!” “NotfromwhatI heard.”
“Not from what you heard?”
“No. I heard that Dana doesn’t even know Diane’s other personality.”
“What? Dana doesn’t know Diane’s other personality? What do you mean?”
“When the doctors hypnotized Diane, her other personality came to the surface.
When the doctors asked Diane’s other personality does Dana know about them, Diane’s other personality told the doctors that Dana doesn’t know about them.”
“What?” Stephanie says. “Diane’s other personality told the doctors that Dana doesn’t know about them?”
43
“That’s what I heard. And Dana doesn’t think there’s another personality inside of Diane anyway.”
“She doesn’t?”
“No. She believes that when Diane gets angry, she would get so angry that she winds up not remembering her violent outbursts or actions and just blocks them out. So to me, it does sounds like Dana doesn’t know Diane’s other personality or even knows about Diane’s other personality. She believes it’s all Diane’s original personality!”
“She believes it’s all Diane’s original personality?”
“That’s what I heard.”
“How can she not know Diane’s other personality, or not know about Diane’s other personality when she and Diane are so close?! Who does she even think beat up that little boy Marcus? Does she believe Diane’s original personality beat him up, or does she believe Diane’s other personality beat him up?”
“I think she believes Diane’s original personality beat up that kid Marcus, but just doesn’t remember doing it because she thinks Diane’s original personality got so mad that she just blocked that out too.”
“Really? She still doesn’t think or believe there’s another personality or entity inside of Diane?”
“No she still doesn’t believe it.”
“Everybody else seems to know about Diane’s other personality or the entity that takes over her body!” Vivian shouts. “It seems the only ones who DON’T know about Diane’s other personality or the entity that takes over her body are Diane herself and Dana!”
“But Diane’s other personality or the entity that takes over her body sure knows of her and Dana because I heard that Diane’s other personality or the entity that takes over her body even possessed Dana’s body before.”
“What!” everyone shouts.
“Diane’s other personality or the entity that takes over her body possessed Dana’s body before?!” Stephanie shouts.
“Yeah!” Alex shouts, “and Dana didn’t even know it!”
“What!” everyone shouts.
“She didn’t know it?!” Stephanie shouts.
“No,” Alex says.
“My God, how did she not know?! What happened?! How did this entity enter Dana’s body and she winds up not knowing about it?!”
“Because when it entered Dana’s body, it was planning to kill Dana’s younger brother’s girlfriend inside a stairwell one night using Dana’s body!”
“What!” everyone shouts.
“That entity entered Dana’s body and was planning to kill her younger brother’s girlfriend using her body?” Kory shouts.
“That’s what I heard,” Alex says, “and Dana didn’t even know it! She wasn’t even aware that her body was about to be used in an attempted homicide!”
“An attempted homicide! You mean she doesn’t remember it?!”
“No!”
“Good Lord! Who did you hear that from?!”
“I heard it from Miss Margarita herself!”
“You did?! How does Miss Margarita know about it?! How does she know that 44
Dana’s body was about to be used in a homicide?!”
“Because she said that when she encountered Diane’s other personality or the entity that took over her body inside the hospital room bathroom last year, Diane’s other personality or the entity that took over her body admitted to her that they were about to use Dana’s body in a homicide!”
“That other personality or entity actually told Miss Margarita that?!” Stephanie asks.
“Yeah! That’s how Miss Margarita knows! Also while Diane was being hypnotized, the doctors asked her other personality has it ever used Dana’s physical body to kill someone or used her physical body to try to kill someone!”
“Oh yeah?!”
“Yes!”
“What did Diane’s other personality say?”
“Nothing! It never answered the question!”
“It never answered?!”
“That’s what I heard!”
“Oh no! Has anybody ever ask Dana has she ever killed anybody or did she try to kill her younger brother’s girlfriend?!”
“Yes!”
“What did she say?”
“She didn’t have any idea what the hell they were talking about!”
“She didn’t?”
“No! She said as far as she knows, she never killed anybody or tried to kill anybody.”
“That’s what Dana said?”
“Yeah. It’s like she didn’t remember either!”
“Oh no!”
“Now you see why Miss Margarita wanted to have Dana committed as well?”
“Yeah I see why now! Did Miss Margarita ever tell anybody else what Diane’s other personality said to her inside the hospital bathroom?”
“Yeah. She told everyone about it the next morning. She even told Diane about it when Diane finally woke up.”
“She did?”
“Yeah. Diane didn’t remember it.”
“No? She didn’t remember it at all?”
“No.”
“My God! Dana needs to be careful, because she might actually commit a homicide one day and not remember it, just like Diane doesn’t remember the homicides SHE
committed last year! Dana might be accused of a homicide and wouldn’t know why she’s accused of it, just like Diane is accused of a homicide and doesn’t know why she’s accused of it!”
“Wow,” everyone else says.
“Well in order for Dana to be careful, the first thing she needs to do is stop meditating with Diane, that’s what’s causing all of that!” Alex says, “and as long as she’s sitting right there on the floor with Diane meditating right along with her, Miss Margarita thinks that makes her a target for these dark forces or these dark entities also!”
“Wow,” everyone says as they sadly look at Alex.

The following day inside the organization office, Margarita is sitting behind her desk speaking on her cell phone speaking in Spanish. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.
Margarita turns from her cell phone and looks towards the door. She sees Nicolas in the doorway as Nicolas says, “Hey Grandma?”
“Hey Nicolas,” Margarita says. “Qué está pasando?”
“Alex y algunos de los miembros del personal están en el pasillo. Quieren ver a Diane.”
“Alex y algunos de los miembros del personal quieren ver a Diane?”
“Sí.”
“Oh. Bueno, si está bien con Diane, supongo que pueden verla muy rápido. Diles que me den unos minutos.”
“Bien.” Nicolas steps back out in the hallway and closes the door.
Out in the hallway, Nicolas turns to Alex and the rest of the staff members who are several yards away. He says to them, “My grandma wants to find out from Diane if it’s okay with her for anybody to see her. She says give her a few minutes.”
“Okay Nicolas,” Alex says.
Nicolas steps back inside the office and closes the door behind himself.
Two minutes later, the office door opens. Nicolas is behind the door. He steps out into the hallway and says to Alex and the rest of the staff members, “Come on in.”
“We can come in?” Alex asks.
“Yeah, come on in.”
“Is it alright with Diane?”
“Yeah, my grandma already asked her.”
“She did? What did Diane say?”
“She said she didn’t care.”
“She didn’t care? That’s what Diane said?”
“Yeah, so hurry and come on in because you can’t stay too long.”
“Okay.”
Nicolas turns around and steps back inside the office. Alex and the rest of the staff members slowly and nervously walk towards the office door. They reach the office door and stop. They nervously walk into the office.
Inside the office, Alex and the rest of the staff members slowly and nervously walk behind Nicolas as Nicolas leads them to Margarita’s desk.
Margarita is sitting behind her desk still speaking on her cell phone in Spanish. A serious looking Diane D is calmly sitting down on a chair to Margarita’s left on the side of the desk. She is wearing a buttoned shirt and dark pants with her legs crossed with ankle monitors still strapped around both her ankles, her upper body leaned to her left 46
side of the chair with her arms spread out over the chair arms, holding a smart phone in one hand as she glares at Alex and the rest of the staff members slowly approaching her.
“Hi Diane,” Alex and the rest of the staff members nervously say as they walk towards Margarita’s desk.
Alex and the rest of the staff members nervously stop near Margarita’s desk looking at Diane D. “How do you feel Diane?” Alex asks. “You feel okay?” Diane D does not answer. She continues to sit there as she glares at Alex. Alex then says, “We just wanted to see you real quick. It’s nice to see you again.” Diane D still does not answer.
She continues to glare at Alex. Alex then says, “We heard you were here visiting and wanted to see you real quick.” Diane D still does not answer. She continues to glare at Alex. She then glares at the rest of the staff members. The staff members notice Diane D glaring at them. They nervously look away from her and look at each other. Diane D
continues to glare at the rest of the staff members. The staff members nervously look back at her. They notice Diane D still glaring at them. They nervously look away from her again. Alex then says, “Are you alright Diane?”
“I’m alright Alex,” Diane D calmly says.
“You are? Oh that’s nice. That’s nice.” Alex continues to look at Diane D. He notice she’s glaring at him again. He nervously looks away from her then looks at the staff members. The staff members nervously look back at Diane D. They notice she’s glaring at them again. They nervously look away from her again. Alex looks back at Diane D.
He then says, “Okay we won’t keep much of your time. We just wanted to see you.”
Diane D does not say another word as she glares at Alex again. Alex then says, “Okay, we’re gonna leave now. Take care.” The staff members nervously look back at Diane D.
They notice she’s glaring at them again. They nervously turn away from her again.
They and Alex then turn to Margarita as Alex says, “Miss Margarita?” Margarita turns to Alex as she continues to hold the phone to her ear. He then says to her, “We’re gonna head back out now.”
“Okay Alex,” Margarita says.
“Are you coming downstairs?”
“Not now Alex. I’ll be down there later because I have a lot of things to catch up on.”
“We understand. We’ll see you later.”
“Okay.”
“Bye Miss Margarita.”
“Bye Alex.” Margarita continues to speak on the phone.
Alex and the rest of the staff members turn back to Diane D as Alex says, “Bye Diane.” Diane D still does not utter another word. She just continues to glare at Alex and the rest of the staff members. Alex and the rest of the staff members turn towards the door and head towards it.
Alex and the rest of the staff members reach the door as Nicolas comes behind them.
Alex and the rest of the staff members open the door. They turn to Nicolas and say, “See you later Nicolas.”
“Okay guys,” Nicolas says. “Thanks for coming to see Diane.”
“Okay Nicolas. Bye.”
“Bye now.”
Alex and the rest of the staff members turn back forward. They go back out into the 47
hallway leaving the office. Nicolas stays in the office as he closes the office door behind them.
Alex and the rest of the staff members are out in the hallway. They slowly walk down the hallway.
Alex and the rest of the staff members reach the other end of the hallway. They stop then turn their heads and look back down the other end of the hallway towards Margarita’s office door as Stephanie whispers, “Did y’all see that?! Did y’all see the way Diane looked at us?! The way she stared at us?!”
“We sure did,” Alex whispers.
“She had that death stare like she wanted to wring our necks!”
“She sure did! She hardly said two words to us!”
“She sure didn’t!”
“I don’t like the way she was looking at us, staring at us like that!” Harvey whispers.
“It scared me!”
“It scared me too,” Evette whispers. “Why was she even looking at us like that, staring at us like that anyway?! We didn’t do anything to her!”
“No we didn’t,” Alex says.
“So why was she looking at us like that?!” Harvey whispers. “I felt very uncomfortable being inside that room with her, knowing that she killed all those authority figures! It really gave me the chills just being in her presence! I was afraid that we might be her next victims with the way she was looking and staring at us like that!”
“I was afraid that we might be her next victims too!” Monique whispers. “I felt that we were right inside the room with that other personality of hers! I thought that history was about to repeat itself!”
“So did I!” Kory whispers. “All I know, is that I wanted to hurry and get the hell out of that room before WE become her next victims!”
“Yeah me too!” Vivian whispers. “How can Miss Margarita and Nicolas handle or deal with being alone in the same room with her?! Aren’t they scared?!”
“I guess not,” Alex whispers. “I think Miss Margarita knows how to handle Diane and Diane’s other personality.”
“Oh yeah? What do you mean?”
“You see she’s making Diane stay right in that chair and making her stay right inside that office, isn’t she? Even though we heard that Diane wants to get out of that chair and leave the room, it’s obviously she’s not challenging Miss Margarita! You see she’s keeping her butt right in that chair and staying her butt right inside that office right?!”
“Yeah that’s true. That’s the only reason why I decided to go into that office to see Diane because I knew Miss Margarita was in there to save us from Diane’s other personality’s wrath just in case her other personality comes out to the surface and goes off!”“Oh yeah?” Korysays. “Ifthat’s the case, then howcomeMiss Margarita wasn’t able to save all those authority figures from Diane’s other personality’s wrath inside that hypnosis room last year, huh?! She was there inside that room! How come she wasn’t 48
able to save all of THEIR lives?! Diane’s other personality still managed to kill all those authority figures right in front of Miss Margarita and the rest of their family and almost hurt Miss Margarita and the rest of their family themselves when that other personality threw that psychiatrist couch right over their heads! If Miss Margarita and the rest of their family had not duck, that psychiatrist couch would have slammed into their heads instead and they would have gotten hurt or killed too! They ducked just in the nick of time!”
“Wow.” Vivian turns to Alex and says, “Where are the rest of Diane’s family anyway?
I don’t see them that much anymore. As a matter of fact, I hardly see any of her family members much anymore. Where are they?”
“Where do you think?” Alex says. “They’re all at the psychiatrist office!”
“They’re all at the psychiatrist office?!”
“Yeah! A lot of them had appointments today!”
“Really? It’s a year later, and you’re all still traumatized by it?”
“Of course they’re still traumatized by what they saw and witnessed last year!”
“My God that is horrible! So why aren’t Nicolas and Miss Margarita at the psychiatrist office?”
“Well all of them can’t be at the psychiatrist office at the same time! If they all go there at the same time, then who the hell is going to be here to watch Diane? Who’s going to protect us from her other personality’s wrath and keep her other personality at bay?!”
“How about them taking Diane with them!” Kory whispers. “At least she or her other personality won’t be here scaring us to death! And I mean ‘to death’ literally!”
“I know. When the rest of Diane’s family return from the psychiatrist office, then it will be Miss Margarita and Nicolas’ turn to go to their appointments at the psychiatrist office and I think when Miss Margarita goes, she’s taking Diane with her!”
“She’s taking Diane with her?!” Monique asks.
“Yeah.”
“Well thank God!”
“Come on everybody. Let’s get out of here.”
“Yeah let’s get out of here while we’re all still alive!” Kory shouts as he turns and hurries down the other hallway towards a staircase.
Alex and the rest of the staff members turn and are about to walk down the other hallway after Kory. They turn their heads back one more time and sadly look down the other side of the hallway at Margarita’s office door. They then turn their heads back forward and look down the other hallway as Alex shouts, “Hey Kory! Wait up!” Alex and the rest of the staff members hurry down the other hallway after Kory!
A few days later, Alex is walking down the organization hallway. He sees Margarita and walks towards her.
Alex approaches Margarita and says, “Hey Miss Margarita, what’s going on?
Where’s Diane? I heard she’s being sent back to the mental institution and is going to be locked up again!”
“She is,” Margarita says.
“Oh yeah? Why?”
“Because everyone feared her presence here Alex! Her presence here was making 49
everybody feel very uncomfortable! Diane is very hurt by people being uncomfortable about her presence here!”
“She’s hurt?”
“Yeah she’s hurt! She feels that she is being judged for something she does not remember doing!”
“My God Miss Margarita! I’m sorry Diane feels that way, none of us meant to hurt her! But you have to understand, Diane’s other personality killed six people, six! Her other personality didn’t just kill six people, her other personality BRUTALLY
SLAUGHTERED six authority figures who had guns and shotguns, and her other personality injured plenty of other authority figures too, some are still laying in the hospital and could still die! She became a one-woman army inside that hypnosis room!
That’s not normal! Yeah she doesn’t remember that she killed six people, but it was still her physical body that did it whether she remembers it or not, it was still HER body!
Even though she doesn’t remember any of her actions, that’s all people care about, that it was her physical body that did it! That’s what people are gonna look at whenever they see her! People can’t help feeling the way they do about Diane, after hearing what her physical body did to all those authority figures! That’s not something people can just forget about and erase! They fear that if her physical body can do it once before, then her physical body can do it again! They feel they can be next and they don’t want that! I mean who the hell wants to risk having their heads split wide open?!”
“I understand Alex! I know hearing what Diane did is something people can’t forget about and erase, but my family and I saw it first-hand, we were there! We saw and witnessed everything! What we saw inside that hypnosis room is something that’s going to stay with us and haunt us for the rest of our lives! We’re still traumatized after witnessing what Diane’s other personality did to all those authority figures! It’s something we’re never going to forget seeing! We’re still going through a lot from what happened inside that hypnosis room that we’re still going to therapy because of it! We need the therapy!”
“My God Miss Margarita! I am so sorry what you and your family are going through with this whole situation, I really am! How long is Diane going to be locked up again?”
“For a month or two.”
“For a month or two?”
“Yes. Then she’ll be let out on house arrest again temporarily.”
“She will?”
“Yeah.”
“I see. But when she comes back out, is she going to have those ankle monitors strapped around her ankles again?”
“Of course she is.”
“Oh good! Oh, I didn’t mean to say that Miss Margarita. I know you and your family are going through a lot dealing with this.”
“Of course we are!”
“So that’s the reason why we don’t see your family members at the organization much anymore, because you all be at the psychiatrist office a lot.”
“That’s part of it. The other part is that most of us stay with Diane whenever she gets locked up at the mental institution.”
“Yeah that’s what I heard. How come y’all get to stay with her?”
“Because the doctors and authorities there want to make sure that her other 50
personality stays at bay and keep away from there.”
“That’s what I heard! So in order for Diane’s other personality not to take over her physical body while she’s locked up at the mental institution, her family members have to be there with her at all times?”
“Yep, you got it Alex.”
“So in other words, Diane’s other personality doesn’t want to come around or be around her family members.”
“Nope, it doesn’t.”
“Do you know why?”
“It told the doctors that were inside that hypnosis room last year that it leaves the part of being with Diane’s family members to Diane’s original personality.”
“What! That other personality told the doctors that it leaves the part of being with Diane’s family members to Diane’s original personality? You actually heard Diane’s other personality say that to the doctors, right Miss Margarita?”
“Yep, I sure did Alex. My family and I heard Diane’s other personality say everything.”
“Wow. And while her other personality was saying all those things to the doctors, it did not know that you and your other family members were sitting right there in that room listening to every word it was saying.”
“No it did not know.”
“Oh God, I can imagine what you all went through hearing Diane’s other personality speaking back to the doctors, hearing everything it was saying to them! My God, I’m afraid just hearing about it! Diane doesn’t remember any of it at all?”
“No she remembers none of it.”
“Wow, that is so sad! Well, at least Diane’s family members get to stay with her while she’s locked up in the mental institution, but you still come here Miss Margarita. I see you more than I see the rest of your family. How come?”
“Well SOMEBODY has to be here to take over the organization. So I be back and forth between home, here, and at the mental institution with Diane.”
“Wow.”
“Believe me Alex, if my family and I knew what was going to happen inside that hypnosis room last year, we would have never agreed for Diane to be hypnotized because look what happened in there! Look at what all those authority figures went through! Look at what their family members are going through and look at what my family and I are going through!”
“Wow, I am so sorry Miss Margarita! I’m sorry what you and your family members and all the authority figures’ family members are going through! What about Diane herself? I’m curious to know, is she traumatized by what she did inside that hypnosis room?”
“No, of course not Alex, her original personality wasn’t there! Her original personality never saw or witnessed what happened inside that hypnosis room like me and my family did!”
“What! So in other words, her original personality is not traumatized at all by what happened inside there?”
“No, her original personality is only traumatized by hearing about what happened inside that hypnosis room.”
“Her original personality is only traumatized by hearing about it?”
51
“Yeah, but not traumatized by seeing it! Her original personality is the only one who did not witness what happened inside that hypnosis room, even though it was her physical body that was involved in all that chaos.”
“Even though it was her physical body? My God, that is horrible! My goodness!
Sorry to hear about all of that! And of course Diane’s ‘OTHER personality’ isn’t traumatized by what happened inside that hypnosis room either, because her ‘other personality’ is the one who committed all that bloodshed in there!”
“That’s right. You got it Alex.”
“Wow. I’m so sorry Miss Margarita.” Alex and Margarita worriedly look at each other.
