It is now 1:00 Saturday afternoon. Mark, Dana's upstairs neighbor is inside his 6th floor apartment. He is inside his kitchen looking out the window. He then leaves the kitchen window, goes to the refrigerator and takes out a can of beer. He opens the can of beer as he goes back to look out his kitchen window. As he looks out the window, he sees Dana walking alone outside. She is approaching the building, holding her stomach. Mark gets a suspicious grin on his face. He decides to go and catch up with Dana in the hallway on her floor. He leaves his apartment and goes down two flights of stairs to the 4th floor.
Mark reaches the 4th floor and waits around for a while. After a short while, the elevator door opens up. Mark looks towards the elevator. He sees Dana stepping out of the elevator about to walk towards his direction, holding her head down, wearing a look of discomfort on her face as her hand is tucked beneath her yellow shirt, holding and rubbing her stomach. Mark says, "Hello." Dana looks up. She sees Mark and stops. She gives Mark a cold stare. She starts to walk slow as she continues to stare at Mark. Mark begins to talk to Dana, saying to her, "I see you're holding your stomach. What's the matter? Your stomach hurts?"
"Never mind that. What do you want?"
“I want to invite you up to my apartment.”
"Some other time. I'm not feeling too well."
"Yeah I notice. You don't look too well. Maybe I can make you feel better. If you would just come up to my apartment, I can make you feel better. I can make you forget about all of your problems and worries."
"No that's alright. Some other time," Dana says as she starts to walk away from Mark.
Mark grabs Dana by the arm. Dana angrily turns around and looks at Mark! Mark quickly lets go of Dana's arm and says, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to grab your arm. I just want to show you my place, that's all."
"What is so special about your place that I have to see it? I'm sure it looks like anybody else's place!"
"No it doesn't! Well at least not to me it does. Why don't you just come up and judge for yourself?"
"I don't know you quite well."
"Well you can get to know me. Listen, I'm not a bad person. I don't have time for any bad nonsense. Just come up over to my place and check it out. I want to show you how nice it looks. I have it hooked up real nice. You'll like it once you see it."
Dana hesitates. Mark still insists on inviting her up to his apartment. Dana finally caves in. She decides to go up to Mark's apartment with him.
Dana and Mark soon come out of the elevator and arrive on the 6th floor. Mark goes to his apartment door and unlocks it. He opens the door and walks inside. He invites Dana inside and closes the door behind her. He shows Dana around his living room. Dana turns her head and looks around the place as she continues to hold and rub her painful stomach. Mark then asks, "Well, what do you think of my place?"
"It's okay."
"It's okay? That's all you have to say? That it's okay?"
"Yeah, that's all I have to say. What else do you want me to say?"
"Well I was hoping that you would really like my place and think that it's real wonderful! Well since you don't have much to say about my living room, let me show you the back room then. We'll see what you really think about that."
"No. I don't want to go back there."
"What? You don't want to go back there?"
"You heard me!"
“I insist! Let me show you the back room!”
“I don’t want to go back there!”
"Well what the hell did you think I invited you up here for, huh? Did you receive the letter that I had sent to you yesterday?"
"Yeah I received it!"
"Good! I have another letter for you!" Mark hands Dana an envelope. Dana looks at the envelope. She opens it up and takes a letter out. She opens the letter up and it reads, "I LOVE YOU, AND I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU: MARK." Dana angrily looks up at Mark! Mark looks at Dana and firmly says, "That's right, I want you, and I want you bad! I know you have a man already, but that's okay, we can get rid of him!"
Dana gives Mark a firm look as she tells him, "I think I better leave now." She turns around and starts to head for Mark's front door. Mark grabs Dana by the arm! Dana firmly turns around and tells Mark, "I think you better let go!"
Mark refuses! He firmly tells Dana, "No! You're not going anywhere! If your man ever finds out about this, I'll just tell him that you were the one who came over to my place, I didn't come over to yours, alright? So you better just give me what I want, alright! And everything will be okay!"
Dana violently jerks her arm away from Mark! She turns around and starts to head for Mark's front door again. Mark grabs Dana by the arm again! Dana turns around and firmly tells Mark, "I'm only going to tell you one more time! Let go of me!"
Mark still refuses! Suddenly, Dana violently kicks Mark real hard in the groin! She jumps up and throws her entire arm across the air, banging it with such great force against Mark's head, knocking his whole entire body down to the floor! Mark bawls out in pain! Dana turns around and starts to head for Mark's front door again! Suddenly, Mark leaps up behind Dana and grabs her by the neck! He pulls her back into a choke hold! Dana violently elbows Mark real hard in the stomach and stomps her heel real hard on his foot! Mark screams and bawls out in pain again! Dana quickly turns around towards Mark! She takes her iron fists and throws several straight blows to Mark's face, busting his eye and breaking his nose! Then she swings her entire left arm around in the air and violently bangs her fist hard underneath Mark's throat, breaking his jaw and causing his entire body to leap up, lifting both of his feet off the floor! Dana's body spins around as Mark falls down to the floor again, yelling out in pain! Mark's nose and eyes are bleeding! He staggers as he tries to get up! He starts to fight Dana! Dana fights him back! She fights Mark with all her might! She fights him very fast as Mark violently fights her back! They both grab a choke hold onto each other's neck! They are rolling all over the place, knocking everything down in their path, making a lot of noise! Neighbors from next door and downstairs start to hear the commotion and the heavy banging, wondering what the heck is happening or what the heck is going on!
Dana and Mark continue to violently fight each other! They start to beat on each other real bad! Dana violently fights Mark using kick boxing and Hapkido! She punches Mark! She throws several straight blows to his face again! She elbows Mark! She kung fu's Mark! She knees Mark! She knees him real hard again and again in the groin area! Mark bawls over in pain! Dana throws Mark another uppercut under the chin, knocking Mark down to the floor again! Dana bends down and grabs Mark!

As Mark's body bounces back off the wall, Dana raises her knee and violently bangs her knee real hard against Mark's abdomen! Mark bawls out in pain again! Dana quickly spins her whole entire body around and kung fu kicks Mark's head and body real hard to the floor! Then she bends down and grabs Mark by the neck, putting him into another choke hold! Mark also grabs Dana by the neck, putting her into a choke hold! They both have a choke hold of each other's neck as they both roll all over the place again, knocking everything down within their path again! Then they both race right towards the wall at a very fast speed! At the last second, Dana suddenly pulls back as Mark's head slams hard into the wall!

They both have a choke hold of each other's neck again as they both race towards the wall again at a very fast speed! This time, Dana's head hits the wall! She falls to the floor! She is sort of
woozy! Mark starts to sit on top of Dana's body as she lays face up on the floor! His face, mouth and clothes are all covered with blood as he puts his entire body weight right on top of Dana's neck and chest! Then he unzips his pants and tries to force oral sex on Dana! He tries to jam his penis into her mouth! He tries very hard to jam his penis into Dana's mouth, but is having a hard time doing so because Dana has her mouth tightly shut! Her mouth remains tightly shut as Mark tries to force his penis into her mouth! As Mark tries to force his penis into Dana's mouth, she suddenly opens her mouth wide and bites down real hard onto his penis! Mark lets out a bloodcurdling scream! He is in pain! He tries to break his penis away from Dana's teeth grip, but she will not let go! Mark continues to scream out in pain! He is in agony! He then falls his body to the floor trying to break his penis away from Dana's teeth grip, but she still keeps biting down hard onto his penis, not letting go! Dana then holds her face downwards as she continues to bite down hard onto Mark's penis! She begins to draw blood! Mark continues to scream out in pain! He pleads for mercy! He kicks his legs real hard and starts to pound his fists real hard on Dana's back, but she still will not budge! Mark tries to use any hard object he can find within his reach to slam Dana with, but still, she will not let go! Dana continues to gripe down real hard onto Mark's penis with her teeth, drawing more and more blood! Mark's entire body is shaking! His face is red and sweating in pain! He continues to holler and scream out for mercy! He is in great agony!
As Dana continues to bite down hard onto Mark's penis, she suddenly yanks her head away from Mark's body with such great force, that she rips away a piece of his flesh! Mark lets out another bloodcurdling scream as Dana spits the flesh out of her mouth! Mark continues to scream out in pain! He is bleeding real badly from his injury! He is bleeding very, very heavily! Neighbors from next door and downstairs could still hear the commotion!
Mark continues to scream out in pain! He lays on the floor in agony! Dana then gets up! She has blood all over her mouth and clothes! She goes to Mark as he lays helpless on the floor! She bends down to Mark and grabs his entire left arm in the air with both of her hands and violently knees him in the elbow, breaking his arm! Mark lets out another bloodcurdling scream as Dana violently turns his body chest down to the floor! Dana grabs Mark by his arms and pulls both of his arms way up towards his back!

Suddenly, she takes her right hand and arm and violently jerks Mark's face way up and around towards the ceiling, twisting his entire head from around his body, breaking his neck! Mark's neck snaps! His face is upwards towards the ceiling! His screaming stops! Heavy blood drips out of his mouth! He is dead. Dana kills him.
Dana continues to lay her body right on top of Mark's body! She continues to hold a tight grip around Mark's lifeless head, neck and body with her legs now spread apart across the floor! After several seconds, Dana lifts her upper body up, still holding tightly onto Mark's lifeless body! Then she lets go of Mark's lifeless body, violently dropping his head and upper body loosely to the floor! Her deadly green eyes gives an evil angry look at Mark's lifeless head and body! She gets up from off Mark's lifeless body as his body remains on the floor! She goes to grab her black shoulder bag, then hurries and limps towards Mark's front door! Before Dana grabs for the door handle, she looks her head around the apartment! She sees a table cloth hanging halfway from off the wrecked table! She goes to the table and jerks the table cloth right off the table, knocking everything down that was on the table! She takes the table cloth and goes for the front door! She grabs the door handle with the table cloth! Before Dana opens the door, she touches the peep hole with the table cloth and looks through it, making sure the coast is clear! She sees that the coast is clear! Then she opens the door with the table cloth and makes a run for it! She finally leaves out of Mark's apartment with the door slamming behind her! As the door slams, Mark's battered body remains on the floor.
Dana runs right into the stairwell which is only a few feet away from Mark's apartment door! She quickly limps down the stairwell with blood stains all over her mouth and clothes! She soon reaches down to the 5th floor part of the stairwell! Dana then looks back up the stairwell and sees that she has left a trail of bloody shoe prints! She quickly unfastens her black sneakers! She takes them off and quickly wraps the table cloth around her black sneakers! Then she quickly limps down the next flight of stairs in her socks! She reaches the 4th floor part of the stairwell and stops. She listens for any kind of noise. She does not hear any, so she opens the hallway door with the table cloth and quickly starts to limp through the 4th floor hallway. She suddenly hears faint laughter. She quickly turns her head around and stops in her tracks looking towards the apartment doors down the other end of the hallway. She hears talking and laughter coming from behind one of the apartment doors. Her fiercely green eyes coldly stare at the apartment door. Talking and laughter continue to come from behind that apartment door. Dana quickly turns her head back forward and heads towards her apartment door. She reaches her apartment door! She quickly unlocks her apartment door and turns her head around real quickly, looking around the hallway! She turns her head back around and goes inside her apartment, closing the door behind herself!
Inside the apartment, Dana leans there against the door for a few moments, trying to catch her breath! She is sweating! Her mouth and clothes are all covered in blood! Dana then turns around to the door and looks through the peephole! She does not see anyone! She turns back around and quickly limps through her apartment, looking for Tony! He is not there! Dana quickly limps into the bathroom! She opens up the light and looks right into the mirror as she holds her slightly bruised face! She gives an evil angry look towards her reflection! Then she quickly turns on the faucet and continuously spits into the sink over and over. She holds her hands together under the faucet, pouring water into her bloodied hands! She buries her face inside the water and her hands! She does this repeatedly! She quickly goes into the medicine chest and grabs some toothpaste and some mouthwash to get rid of the blood and scent from her mouth.
Dana soon leaves the bathroom and goes into the hall closet! She grabs a big trash bag out of the closet and brings it into the bathroom! She places the trash bag on the bathroom floor! She takes off all her bloodied clothes and puts them into the trash bag! She ties up the trash bag and leaves it on the bathroom floor! She quickly goes into the shower and slams the shower door behind herself! Then she turns on the shower.
Back on the 6th floor, neighbors who had heard the commotion are at the scene now, trying to find out what
happened! They already have an idea which apartment all the noise and banging sound came from! They look on the floor and see a trail of bloody shoe prints coming from the apartment they had suspected. They see the trail of bloody shoe prints going down the stairwell! The neighbors try to open the apartment door, but they cannot get inside! They call for the building superintendent.
Around five minutes later, the superintendent comes upstairs with the security guard! The superintendent unlocks Mark's apartment door and goes inside the apartment with the security guard. The neighbors follow in right behind them! When they all enter the apartment, what they all see is very shocking and gruesome! They see blood everywhere! They see Mark's battered body lying on the floor, covered in blood! They see his body lying in a pool of blood in the middle of a ransacked apartment! They see his head twisted up from around his body! They see his left arm bent backwards! They discover that a piece of his penis had been ripped or bitten right off his body and that it is several feet away from his body! The superintendent and the security guard go to Mark and discover that he is dead! A neighbor decides to phone the police from his own apartment because neither of the neighbors want to tamper with any evidence inside Mark's apartment! A small crowd starts to gather outside Mark's apartment.
Soon, the paramedics and the police arrive to Mark's apartment! Cops are all over the place and in the stairwell, where the bloody shoe prints are! They question the neighbors, asking them did they see or hear anything! A larger crowd starts to form and gather outside of Mark's apartment as some of the neighbors tell the police, "We had heard heavy noise, which sounded like a very heavy fight! We heard a lot of loud banging! We had heard heavy noise and banging for a while! Then we heard a man screaming very loudly, like he was being tortured or something! After that, we heard a door slam!"
One of the police officers, Officer Anderson, a white male around his late 40's, asks the neighbors, "Do any of you know who the dead victim was or do any of you know who his family is?"
"Yeah we knew who the victim was," a few neighbors tell him. "His name was Mark Stewart!"
"Mark Stewart?"
"Yeah!"
"Well does this victim Mark Stewart have a family or do any of you neighbors know who's Mark's next of kin?"
"No, we are not sure if he had any family or not and we do not really know who his next of kin is!"
"You know people, this victim's body is messed up pretty badly! Whoever the perpetrator or perpetrators are, they really did a job on him! They busted his eye, they broke his nose, I think they broke his jaw in three places! They broke his arm and they broke his neck!" The neighbors start to gasp! They are all stunned hearing the news! Officer Anderson continues, "It also appears that this victim might have been choked and strangled to death, which caused his neck to snap and break! We also think this victim Mark has a fractured skull!" The neighbors gasp again! They are all shocked hearing this, wondering who in the world would do something like that to a person or why! Officer Anderson also tells the neighbors, "A piece of the victim's private part had been ripped or bitten right off his body!" The neighbors become shocked as they gasp again! Officer Anderson continues, "The piece of the victim's private part is laying several feet away from the rest of his body!"
The neighbors cannot believe their ears! They all wonder, what could have happened or who could have done such a gruesome thing like this! Another police officer tells the crowd, "We don't know who the perpetrator or perpetrators are people, but whoever they are, they had messed up this guy Mark pretty badly! It looks like this guy Mark had been attacked by some wild animals or something like that! We don't know whether this guy Mark knew his perpetrator or perpetrators, but there is no sign of forced entry!"
Officer Anderson then shouts, "EXCUSE ME PEOPLE, BUT MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOR A MOMENT PLEASE!" The crowd becomes silent as Officer Anderson continues, "THERE IS A DEAD BODY INSIDE THIS APARTMENT! THE VICTIM IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH! WE DON'T KNOW BY WHO! WE DON'T KNOW WHO IN THE WORLD COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO THE VICTIM, BUT WHOEVER THE PERPETRATOR OR PERPETRATORS ARE, THEY ARE STILL AT LARGE! PEOPLE WHEN YOU GET INSIDE YOUR APARTMENTS, KEEP ALL THE DOORS LOCK AND STAY INSIDE YOUR APARTMENTS! DO NOT LEAVE ANY OF YOUR A
