Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - 2001 and beyond

Jessica looks through her peephole, to see a man looking beat up and scruffy.She is hesitant but opens it with the lock still on, "Yes how can I help you ?" She asks as the man in distress begs "ma'am you've gotta help me, I don't know why but this random man just stabbed me and just ran, please I'd love if I can borrow your phone to call 9-1-1…?!?" He asks as she quicky opens the unlocks the door and opens it for him to enter.The man smoothly fixes his posture and enters the home so professionally.He slams the door shut as she turns his back on her and runs to her room to get her purse.

"Oh Christ, I'll get my phone right now, just hold on-" she exclaims as she turns to sound of the door slam.She screams as he wrestles her to the ground and pins her to the floor."Let go of me !" She yells as the man pulls out some wire from his jacket and begins to tie her up.He ties her hands as she asked frantically "why are you doing this ????!!!" She screams as he gets a gag ball out and puts it around her mouth, muffling her screams.

He gets up off her and picks her up, forcefully walks her to her couch as she muffles in fear.

She is thrown on the couch as she catches her self and sits there scared, he looks around the room and goes to her kitchen.

"Don't go nowhere…." He yells to her as he gets one of the chairs in the kitchen and puts along side the front door, for no one can get in.

He walks back as when he turns around he sees her attempt to run through the hallway.

"Oh god damn it I said don't go nowhere !" He yells as he chases after her and stops her after only a few steps.He drops her to the floor and has her pinned again as he gets more wire out and ties her feet up.He now Carrie's her to the couch again and lays her down as she fights to stop him.

"You do that again and I'll cut of your feet alright ?" He says as she now sits there angered as he goes for the other chair in the kitchen and places it along side the couch, blocking the hallway a bit.He then stands in front her, blocking the tv.He looks at his watch and says "Wow, it's almost midnight…..almost my birthday, yep….May 1st, 1973, I turn 28…..I look older don't I ?" He asks Jessica Jokingly as she's still gagged.He leans over and is about to remove the gag, "Christ you're drooling bad, I'm going to remove this but don't you yell…..if you yell then I'll leave it back on….you understand ?" He asks as she nods slowly, making direct eye contact.

He slowly takes off the gag as she aligns her jawline as it hurt wearing that thing.

He drops the gag on the floor as he heads for the kitchen once again, "I mean it this time, don't fucking go nowhere…." He says as she sits there shocked, still processing what's occurring.

He goes through the cabinets and finds a place full of tote bags.He laughingly gets one out and opens it up a bit.He goes back into the room and is back to his plan as he is interrupted by Jessica.

"Who are you and why are you doing this ?" She asked frightened.He looks into the ceiling then turns around menacingly.

"well haven't you been paying attention, I'm the birthday boy...." He says jokingly as he changes his demeanor, "I'm only kidding, the names Richard….you see I know in this rural area you've heard of all the killings that have occurred….Serial killings, that's what they've dubbed me…" he says as he moves the chair blocking the hallway and places it in front of her.He sits as he has the tote bag full of his tools next to him.

"have you heard of me ?" He asks as she says

"I think so….." as he asks "I'm sorry what I can't hear you ?" He says as she says a bit louder

"I said I think so…..you've killed 6 people so far…." Says Jessica as Richard corrects her, "Oh…..it's 7 now…." Which she is horrified to imagine. "7….7 people now and they called you "The Doberman Killer….." which he excitedly responds "and do you know why it's the Doberman killer ?" He eluded as she says "no…I don't….".

Richard gets up off the chair and looks in his tote bag as he explains "well, my first killing, the one they linked me too was on Doberman street and it just stuck around…..I personally don't like, it's very vague you know ?" He asks as she loses eye contact, Jessica stares at the door as she contemplates running for it again.Richard keeps talking as he pulls out a .357 Magnum.

"Well you see sweetheart, I have a little tool bag I'd usually carry but like I said it's seven now….that poor bastard did put up a fight , haha " he says as he laughs manically.

Jessica through this talk is sitting well-postured and melancholy.

Richard puts the handgun in his back, tucked between his pants, staying firm.

He gets up off the chair and leaves it there, he stands aside Jessica as he asks "can you scoot over please ?" He ask as she's been sitting in the middle of the couch, taking up the space.She looks at him in horror as she moves over to the end of the couch.

"thank you…" he says charismatically as he sits next of her on the couch.He sees the remote on the couch and reaches to get it.He gets it and lays back on the couch and turns on the tv, it's playing " Chinatown" but he doesn't it like it so much so he switches channels until he gets to one playing "Matilda ", the scene where she's in Miss Trunchbulls house.

"I love this film…" says Richard as Jessica replies "me too …" she says trying to gain his trust.He surprised says "bullshit !" He says with a big smile as she turns to him and says "yep, love this movie and It's message…." She says as he turns back to the film in enjoyment.Jessica is still in utter disbelief at her situation and turns to her window and looks out to see the snowy night commence.

Richard gets up quickly as he claps his hands which frights Jessica as she jumps.

"Welp I'm starving, let's see what's for dinner huh ?" He says as he walks into the kitchen, fully trusting Jessica won't run.He looks through the fridge and scrimmages through it only to find a little pastry box.

"oh let's what we've got here …" he says as he looks over at Jessica is staring back at him, he places it on the dining table and opens it up.

"Oh I love these …" he says happily as he sees Red velvet cup cakes.He gets two out and puts the box back in the fridge.He walks back into the living room and sits aside Jessica again as he places the cupcakes on the living room table.

He gives it a second then reaches for them both and starts to eat his, as he stuffed with the cupcake he looks at Jessica.

"Mother always said if you can't share it why enjoy it alone...here open up …" he asks as he puts the other cupcake in her face.She ignores him and frowns as she keeps her mouth closed.

He is bothered by it and says "Cmon…..Open up, take a bite….I think you'd like em since you know, you bought em …" he says as she backs her head back and says "I'm not hungry….." she says as he puts the cupcake back on the living room table and stubbornly eats his.He finishes up the rest of his cupcake and gets up to throw the wrapper away, he walks by the table and throw it in the little trash can next to the fridge.He finally gets his attention in the cup of pink lemonade and the pitcher.He puts the pitcher back in the fridge and Carrie's the cup of lemonade to the living room table.He places it down and says "well are you thirsty then ?" He asks as she still ignores him and just sits there as she stares out into the window.The snow covering up the glass as he reaches for the cup and puts it near her face now.

"Here, drink up….." he says as she still frowns and keeps her mouth shut.

"Oh for Christ sakes you poured it for a reason, you were gonna drink it….now drink…..up !" He says demandingly as she turns to him and asks "are you gonna kill me ?" She asks bluntly as he puts the cup down on the table and sighs.

"God why is that always the reaction ?" He says as he gets up annoyed.He mimics his talk and says "are you gonna kill me, please let me go, I won't tell the cops….blah blah blah…." He says as he looks around her bookshelf, then walks back to her.

"You know the 4th person I killed, in a his home.He told me you better kill me….threatening me…..being an intimidating guy but after a few hours he begged me not to kill him and I put him down with a drill to the skull….god it was awful to do...but that I had too." He says as she asks "why did you have too ?" She ask as he replies, "well I don't do this out of fun or spite, I have rules to it, if I like you I let you go and go ahead and turn me in….if I don't then …..we'll you die…..and I do this as a study….." he says as he sits next to her again and switches the channels.

"A study of humans, how they'd react to quick fear and the instincts that kick in….it's all in the name of science to me…." He says as he stops at a channel that is playing reruns of "Married With Children ".

"oh my gosh that Ed O'Neil did perfect in the show, his witty humor as Al bundy is hilarious….." he says at it shows a scene of Al bundy insulting a fat woman.They both laugh as he says "You seen this before ?" He asks as she says "no..." to which he says "it's a great show overall but that Ed O'Neil sure gives it that comedic relief you know" He says as she gets back to her senses and ask "I'm sorry, what did you mean by in the name of science ?" She ask as he puts the remote down and says "well i studied four years to be a pharmacist and after achieving that I felt lost, so I one day thought why not study the mind and go into a deep analysis…." He says as he gets up and stretches a bit, "then i stalked this woman for a while to see her patterns in life and how she lives it….sadly it got to weird and that's how I got my first victim…..she lived on Doberman street for her whole life and her death was a shocker to the community…" he says as he goes into his tote bag, which was laying on the floor, he puts the handgun back into the bag and brings out pliers.

"Now look I trust you enough that I'm going to take of the wiring because it looks like it's hurting …." He says as you see Jessica's wrist and ankles as they look swollen and red.He first cuts of the ankle wiring then slowly cuts off the wiring on her wrist.He backs away quickly and says, "there you go, now can you do me a favor darling ?" He asks as she loosens up after feeling so trapped.

"can you make me something to eat, I am a bit hungry…." He asks as she gets up, he quickly reaches in the tote bag and puts the handgun since his jacket.She walks to the kitchen slowly as he cautiously looks at her.She goes into the kitchen as he back away at the front door, just in case.

She goes into the fridge and then looks back at him and ask "Do you want fried chicken ?" She asks as he replies "I'd love some fried chicken …" he says charismatically as she smiles and looks back in the fridge and takes out the fried chicken she had left over.
