Chapter 1
Prologue
The first of the three mothers was destroyed. Mater Suspiriourum or was she? Was she really destroyed are were only her vessels that housed her in Germany destroyed?
Shelly lived in New York. She was a poetess who loved to collect old poetry books. She lived in a building that was across from a bookstore called Batista’s Books. She went to see him to show him one of her new books she found based on the apartment building where she lived.
“Do you know what this is about?” Asked Shelly.
“The house of the three mothers.” Said Batista.
“What do you mean?”
“Mater Suspiriorum, Mater Lacromorum and Mater Tenebarum.”
“So what does that mean exactly?”
“What do you think it means?”
“It has to do with the building I live in across the street. I know I hear strange noises at night.”
“What kind of noises?”
“Not sure.”
“I see.”
“Who wrote this book Batista?”
“Dr. McMahon an alchemist.”
“What does that mean.”
“Damn cats, I have no time to keep talking to you about it. I gotta get rid of these cats. Go home.”
Shelly went home to start a letter to her brother Kane.
Florence, Italy
Kane was studying music. He received the letter from his sister Shelly but didn’t open it. He looked at the row below him and saw a young woman with a white cat.
Shadow: Mater Lacrimorum
“This fool has no idea what I am or what I can do maybe I should dispose of him now.”
Kane kept staring at the young woman with the cat. He couldn’t figure out why there was a cat in a studio. A young woman sat beside him.
“Hey.” She said.
“My ShyAnn.”
“When you going to stop calling me that Kane?”
“When you stop being so shy.”
“In that case.” She leaned over and kissed him. He knew he was lucky to have a girlfriend like his ShyAnn. He looked again and the girl with the cat was gone. All of a sudden there was a wind. What he didn’t know it knocked Shelly’s letter off the table where he sat.
Shadow: Mater Lacrimorum
“If he doesn’t read the letter he won’t know what his sister found.”
After Kane got up to leave. ShyAnn was going to follow him, but he sped up. She saw the letter that was blown onto the floor. She opened it and saw it looked important. She thought she better track it down.
Guest Appearance Taxi Driver Funaki in Italy. He was driving ShyAnn around.
“You look familiar.” She said.
“Eh?” He asked.
“Never mind.”
“Where you go?”
“2010 Villa Del Mar.” He drove, it started raining. They got to the house but the lights were off. “I changed my mind can you take me to 15 Place Del Grande?”
“Eh bookstore eh.” He drove to the bookstore in the rain. When he dropped her off she opened the door and caught her jacket on the door. It ripped and her skin slightly bled.
“Damn it.”
“What?” Asked Funaki the cab driver.
“Oh nothing thanks.” She paid and went inside the bookstore to look for Kane.
Inside she looked around and tried to find some information on the three mothers like what Shelly wrote about in her letter. She couldn’t find much so she went to look for Kane.
“Hi.”
“Hey what’s up?” Asked Kane.
“You dropped this.” She handed Kane the letter.
“Thanks.” He looked at it. After a few minutes she asked.
“You have a girlfriend in New York?”
“My sister Shelly she’s a writer.”
“Oh. What’s wrong.”
“I don’t know. She seems upset I better go to her.”
“I’ll be waiting for you.”
“I’ll try not to be too long my ShyAnn.”
As Kane went home to prepare to go to New York to check on his younger sister ShyAnn went to her apartment at Villa La Stade in Italy. She was in the elevator with a resident Nunzio. She felt a strange feeling. It was still raining and she didn’t want to be alone.
“What floor?” Asked Nunzio.
“Ah 10.”
“I’m two above you.”
“I know.” They got to floor ten.
“There you go.”
“Nunzio can you come and stay with me for awhile?”
“Sure I have about an hour before I have to meet a friend at a restaurant.”
“Thank you.”
They went into her apartment.
“So why do they call you ShyAnn?”
“My name’s Ann but Kane calls me ShyAnn cause I’m shy.”
“The tall one?”
“Yeah.”
“He’s yours?”
“Yeah.”
“Lucky guy.”
“Pour us a drink while I’ll go and change.”
“Ok.” She was in the bedroom and he was in the living room when the lights went out.
“What was that?” She asked.
“The lights I’ll go check the box in the basement.”
“Thanks.”
Shadow: Mater Lacrimorum was waiting down in the basement.
“He won’t make it back up to her.” She strangled him invisibly he stood no chance. “Now to go looking for the other one.”
She flew upstairs invisible like and made ShyAnn choke to death.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed ShyAnn before her wind was cut off for good. The wall opened up and it ate ShyAnn up.
“Well I got rid of one troublemaker. Now the three of us will have to get rid of the other two won’t we?” Shadow cackled as she left the building in Italy.

Chapter 2
Finding Out
As Kane was on a plane to go to New York to check on his sister Shelly. Shelly meanwhile went to do some snooping. She went back to Batista.
“Help.”
“You again I own a bookstore nothing more.”
“Where are the supposed three mothers located?”
“It’s a myth nothing more. There are no three mothers but there is a key.”
“A key where?”
“In a whole in the basement of your building.”
“The basement is blocked off.”
“Only half right?”
“Right the half without the wall.”
“It’s a hidden wall you pull a brick and it will move, hole in the floor find it and leave me alone I gotta get rid of these cats.”
“Ok thank you Batista.”
She left and went back the building as promised a hidden wall. She tried moving bricks and she found a loose one and pulled it out. The wall moved and there was a crooked slab on the floor. She moved it and saw an under water house or something. She took off her heels and held her breath and jumped into the watery underground. She swam through and saw a skeleton she pushed passed it and saw something shiny. The myth was true there was the key. She took it and swam upwards and out of the whole.
“God I’m not doing it again.” She went to go back to her apartment.
Shadow: Mater Lacrimorum
“You may have found the key but you won’t be around to tell anyone about it.” She flew away.
Shelly picked up the phone and sneezed.
“No time to dry off I gotta call Italy.” She dialled the long number and got Kane’s machine. “Where is my brother?” She decided to leave a message. “Kane listen to me if you so happen to come here I gotta key I hid it in my jewel box in a loose board under my bed.” She hung up and went to the bathroom to get dry.
Meanwhile in the apartment next door Rich Heiress Amber Stallone Van Adler heard a noise.
“Shelly?” Her butler Bradshaw came in.
“It’s time for your medication Mrs.”
“Oh all right can I see about Shelly first?” Said Amber.
“I promised your husband I would take care of you while he was gone on business.”
“Ok Shaw if you must.”
“Hello?” Asked Shelly as she heard a noise when she came out of the bathroom. Then she heard cackling. “Anyone here?” Shadow: mater Lacrimorum pulled invisible punches. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed Shelly. There was a hole in the wall and Shadow throw her in never to be found again.
So what would Kane think when he found Shelly missing?
Chapter 3
Kane shows up
Colleen the caretaker of the building that Shelly lived in New York was bitching at her cook for not cutting the meat right. She picked up the meat cleaver and started to stab through the steak.
“If you want a job right you gotta do it yourself.” Said Colleen. She kept brutally cutting up the slabs of steak then the phone rang as Kane entered the building. The kitchen was off the main section of the building across from the stairs. As the phone rang it scared her and the cleaver left her hands and almost hit Kane who stumbled backwards and hit his head on the wall. She answered the phone as he laid passed out.
“What!” She turned around. “Oh shit I gotta call you back.” She went over to him to try and revive him.
Minutes later it worked. Colleen had a glass of water that she handed it to him.
“Sorry about that.”
“No problem. Ah I’m here to see my sister.”
“And who may that be?”
“Shelly.”
“Oh right 10th floor, gotta ya I haven’t seen her come home yet I’ll get her spare key and you can go there.”
“Ah no meat cleaver’s right?”
“Nah the meat is for the cat.”
“Cat?”
“Many cats.” As she said that 3 surrounded Kane and purred and meowed.
“Hi.” He said to the cats.
“I’ll get them.”
Colleen went to the kitchen and grabbed the meat.
“Shadow.” Shadow showed up.
“Who is he?” Asked Shadow.
“Shelly’s brother.”
“He could be trouble.”
“Don’t worry take this meat to Batista he hates cats.”
“On the doorstep?”
“Of course anyone who hates cats must pay.” Shadow and the meat disappeared and so did the cats in the hall. Colleen grabbed the keys and went over to Kane.
“You hurry you can catch the elevator with the owner of the building.”
“Who may that be?”
“Dr. Vince McMahon he’s brilliant.”
“How so?”
“Just brilliant.” Colleen gave Kane the keys and left.
Kane went to the elevator where Dr Vince McMahon, his wheelchair and his nurse showed up.
“What floor?” Asked the nurse.
“Ah 10.”
“I’m Dawn you can call me Dfizz.”
“Why?”
“Why not.” Vince McMahon motioned for Kane to bend near and he did. Vince grabbed his collar and used his now voice box he used cause of ailments to talk to Kane.
“Be careful.”
“Of what?” Asked Kane.
“Be careful.”
“He’s a little senile. What is it you do?” Asked Dfizz the nurse.
“I study music.”
“Interesting.” The elevator stopped and the door opened.
“Bye.” Said Kane.
“Bye.” Said Dfizz.
Kane walked to Shelly’s apartment.
“Shel? Are you here?” He looked around.
“Hello?” Kane looked at the door and saw the most beautiful creature he has ever saw. Wearing a white nightgown.
“Who are you?” Asked Kane.
“I’m sorry I thought Shelly was back I’ve been looking for her.
We’re friends I live next door. Amber Stallone Van Adler.”
“I’m her brother.”
“Oh yes she said she had a brother Kane right?”
“Yes. You know where she is?”
“No and I have been worried.”
“How so?”
“Mrs?”
“Damn that’s my butler Bradshaw I’ll be back.” She left and Kane shrugged and started to look around his sister’s apartment looking for clues.
“Damn stupid cats I’ll kill you all!” Screeched Batista as he tried to get rid of the cats. He would try to get rid of the meat but the cats took the meat on his steps for hostage. “Damn you Colleen!” Batista went back into the bookstore and slammed the door.
“Boy this is fun.” Thought Shadow.

Chapter 4
Clues
Amber Stallone Van Adler came back to Shelly’s apartment.
“Sorry I’m kinda sick so I have to take medication.”
“That’s ok.” Said Kane.
“Did you hear any strange noises coming from here?”
“Yeah I did why?”
“See that hole in wall?”
“Yeah?”
“It’s the hole that Shelly and I talked out of it leads to my bedroom. If I’m too tired from medication then I would talk to Shelly from the hole.”
“Interesting.”
“Yeah when I heard noises and then I heard you I thought I was Shelly that came back.”
“Where do you think she went?”
“I don’t know I know there is some bookstore she likes to get books from but I don’t know where it is.” The lights turned out.
“Now what?” Asked Kane.
“Old building been happening a lot lately.” Kane grabbed Amber’s hand and took her into the hall by the steps. “There is a box in the basement.”
“Ok I’ll check it out you coming?”
“Ah no I better stay here.”
“Ok.”
“There is a radiator in the living room I’ll use that to talk to you.”
“Ok.” Kane went to the basement as Amber went to the radiator.
“You there?”
“Yeah.”
“Ok look to the left you’ll see a box on the wall.”
“Found it. What’s this other wall here?”
“What other wall?”
“Its in the middle doesn’t really block anything but I can’t get past it.”
“I don’t know you better come up.”
“Hold on I’ll hit it.” Kane did and went back to Shelly’s apartment.
“I’m going to see about this bookstore.” Said Kane.
“You might want to ask Colleen she’ll know.”
“Who is that?”
“Have you seen anyone downstairs?”
“Ah with a meat cleaver?”
“Yeah that be Colleen.”
“I’ll go find out but this time I’m ducking.”
Kane went downstairs.
“I can’t get nothing done if these damn cats are not fed.” Batista was talking to Colleen.
“Get rid of those cats else I’ll get rid of them.” Said Batista.
“They’re babies.” Said Colleen.
“They are rat invested, flee bitten, disease carrying animals.” Said Batista. Colleen lifted her meat cleaver at Batista.
“Listen you.” Kane came along and took the cleaver out of her hand and put it out of her reach.
“Do as I say.” Said Batista leaving.
“You should have let me cut off his nuts.” Said Colleen.
“Don’t think you want to do that.”
“I got cats to feed what you want?”
“Some bookstore that Shelly went to.”
“That would be Batista’s the man I aimed the meat cleaver at right across the street.”
“Ok.” Kane went outside and saw the bookstore and went over there.
“What do you want? Damn these cats.” Said Batista.
“You Batista?”
“Yeah.”
“My sister Shelly came here.”
“Oh yeah so.”
“Do you know what for?”
“Lately she’s been obsessed with the three mothers.”
“Which are?”
“Here look at this.” Batista showed Kane the book.
“Can I take it with me?”
“Yeah. You’re sister is kinda strange.”
“Yeah she’s missing.”
“You don’t say.”
“Yeah.”
Kane went back to Shelly’s and Amber showed up.
“Did you find out anything?” Asked Amber.
“The three mothers.”
“That’s not good.”
“What do you mean?”
“She was talking about that, ranting on about it. This weird fairy tale and now she’s missing.”
“I’m hoping with this book I’ll get her back.”
“Mrs.” Said Bradshaw.
“I gotta go I’ll talk to you soon.”
“Yeah.” Amber left and Kane sat down to read about the three mothers.
Amber lay on her stomach this time on the bed.
“What is the dosage this time?” Bradshaw put the syringe in the garbage after he cleaned it off.
“4 cc you can’t handle much more Mrs.”
“Ok.”
“I’ll run you a bath.”
“So soon?”
“Yes.” He went to do that.
“That’s it! Here dumb kitty.” Said Batista one by one he put them in a sack and then drove to the lake with the sack.
“I don’t think so.” Said Shadow watching him. Shadow invisibly moved the kitty’s out of harms way and the sack opened. Rats, tonnes of rats showed up and caught Batista off balance. He fell in the water. The rats swam around. The cats he put in the sack started to claw at him.
“Come kittys!” Yelled Shadow. All the cats within a nearby radius came to claw at Batista.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” Was the last scream coming from his mouth as the death by cats took shape. Afterwards Shadow took the cats back to their homes and Batista’s body and car disappeared in the lake.
Amber came back.
“Just wanted to say goodnight.”
“Going to bed?” Asked Kane.
“Yes I just had a bath.” Kane went over to her and placed his large hands on her shoulders. He bent to kiss her on the forehead. She shivered. “Thank you.” She left then and Kane had to smile at the effect he had on women.

Chapter 5
Hidden Agenda
“It’s about time you got here.” Said Colleen.
“That stupid bitch Amber wouldn’t go to sleep until she said goodnight to Shelly’s brother.” Said Bradshaw.
“He can be trouble.” Said Colleen.
“Don’t worry I’ll handle him.” Said Bradshaw.
“You know the plan then?” Asked Colleen.
“It’s the same plan we had for the last little while slowly kill Amber so we can get her and her husbands money, gold, diamonds and anything else.” Said Bradshaw.
“Good the brother will be taken care of if he’s in the way.” Said Colleen.
“Does he know who got Shelly?”
“He doesn’t even know she’s dead.” Said Colleen.
“What about Batista?” Asked Bradshaw.
“He can’t say a word.”
“You mean?”
“Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.” Said Colleen.
“So what’s the next step?”
“The brother showing up took a dent into the plans we need to get rid of Amber tonight.”
“Who do you want to do it?”
“I’ll do it.” said Colleen.
“Ok.”
Kane couldn’t sleep that hole kept bothering him. He went to the basement. He looked at the wall and ran his hands along it until one of the bricks turned. And so did the wall. He went behind the wall and saw a loose board on the floor. He moved the board and saw the same underwater city that Shelly saw. He dunked his head in the water and looked around. Then he brought his head back up.
“I’m all wet. Damn Shelly’s necklace.” He took the necklace he found and started to go back upstairs.
Colleen went to visit Amber as she slept. She carried a pillow to smother over her face. Kane was nearby.
“Amber are you awake.” He walked in and saw Colleen with the pillow.
“I don’t think so.” Said Kane grabbing her around the neck. Amber started to wake up.
“Damn you!” Screamed Colleen.
“What?” Asked Amber rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Kane pushed Colleen to the wall.
“Shaw!” Colleen squealed out and he came in to knife Kane. Kane moved and Shaw got Colleen. Kane picked up Amber and brought her to Shelly’s.
“What happened?” Asked Amber.
“For some reason they wanted to kill you and I think they got my sister to.”
“Oh god how do you know?”
“A secret city underwater behind the wall in the basement.”
“And?”
“Her necklace.”
“What do we do now.”
“You call the cops and I’ll talk to the bookstore owner again.”
“Ok I’ll do that.”
“And stay here.” Said Kane.
“I will don’t worry.” Kane left.
“You won’t get anywhere.” Said Shadow cackling.
“Hello?” Asked Amber. She went out into the hall. She looked over the balcony. Shadow with invisible hands pushed her over. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed Amber. Then she was dead.
“All these damn cats! Batista?” Asked Kane. He came into the store and looked around. He saw Batista hanging from the ceiling he had been clawed. Kane got the hell out of there.
He got back to the apartment building and saw Amber dead on the main floor.
“Damn kiddo.” He didn’t know what to do now.
“I have to talk to you.” Kane looked up when he heard a male’s voice.
“It’s you.” Said Kane.
So who is it?

Chapter 6
Truth or Consequences
“I need to talk to you.” Said Dr. Vince McMahon.
“So talk.” Said Kane.
“Not here I have an office in the back.” Kane wheeled the good doctor to the back.
“What?”
“Come close.” Vince used his voice box and Kane went over to him and bent down close. Vince lifted his arm and put a syringe in Kane’s neck. Kane fumbled backwards and landed on his ass. Kane made a makeshift straw to suck out the poison using sheer breath before the poison had a chance to work in his system.
“You have failed.” Shadow thought. She aimed the syringe at Dr. Vince McMahon with a little poison left. Kane got up and went over to him and did what he did himself to save the doctor only he used sucking motion. Shadow flew through the window and a breeze came in. Vince put his hand on Kane’s arm.
“You should have let me die.”
“Can’t do that.” Said Kane.
“It’s my fault all this is happening.”
“Tell me what you know.” Said Kane.
“I was an alchemist I built this building to house the three mothers and their disciples. Mater Suspiorum vanished in Germany she was never found, the others were, Mater Lacrimorum is lurking around you felt the breeze?”
“Yeah?”
“It was her that leaves Mater Tenebarum put the three mothers together they make up the devil, the devil not only needed a house but he needed a body to house his demented soul.”
“It was you?”
“No.”
“Who?”
“My nurse Dfizz the devil she’s the one that is the soul of the three mothers. I built this house for them as an alchemist and I, I….” The doctor started choking Kane knew it was the end. He also knew that he can save Dfizz if he can get her away from the building without the building the devil would die and Dfizz can return to normalcy.
“The basement.” Said Kane.
He went to the basement and saw the nurse sitting at a table.
“So he cracked.” Said the nurse.
“You need to get out so I can help you.” Said Kane.
“You can’t help we’re everywhere.”
“No it’s not you it’s them.” She cackled.
“Do I scare you?”
“No.” She stood up and started to move forward the whole basement was in an inferno blaze. Kane was having trouble seeing through the smoke.
The mirror on the wall broke. Dfizz stood up.
“See we’re alive we’ll never fall.”
“It’s not you it’s them.” Said Kane.
“No it’s me I had to listen to Vince and take care of him for years. They gave me hope to get a way.”
“But at what price?” Asked Kane.
“The price of you!” She aimed a knife at Kane and went to get him. Shadow was lurking near by.
“You have failed!” She made Dfizz succumb to the dangers of the raging inferno.
“Damn.” Said Kane as he picked up another mirror. He aimed it at Shadow Mater Lacrimorum and she burned into the inferno as well. Kane didn’t want Dfizz to go he wanted to save her away from the three mothers but he couldn’t think of that he had to get out.
Kane made it outside by this time cops were showing up trying to find out what’s going on. The fire department was there as well but they couldn’t save the building. Kane walked passed the cops. His cell rang.
“Lo’?”
“Do you know where you’re ShyAnn is?”
“Lita?”
“No kidding it’s me I’m using Matt’s phone and since it’s in Italy it’s bloody expensive.”
“What’s going on?”
“She’s dead.” Kane hung up the phone and walked and walked. The three mothers were dead or were they? But at what price? The price of innocent lives and his ShyAnn.

Chapter 7
Italy
Former Wrestler known as the Undertaker wrote about the world of wrestling and is now a wrestling coach. It had come full circle since the days of Mater Suspiriourm. Now in Italy where he was recruiting clients, Mater Teneberum the third mother lay waiting to turn people to Unsane so she and the other two mothers can come back in human form to kill once again.
The Undertaker was at the airport waiting for his plane to Italy. He heard over the speaker him being called to the front desk for a phone call. He went to the desk and picked it up.
“No Gwendolyn I can’t talk right now. What do you mean?” As he talked to Gwendolyn Miccaro his ex-girlfriend that so happens to live in the States and in Italy was in that airport talking to him on the phone. Another woman with blonde hair came along while he talked to Gwendolyn on the phone. The young woman Trish traded suitcases with him, the exact same copy of his suitcase, and she took it. The Undertaker’s flight was called.
“Gwenny it’s over and I have to get to Italy.” He hung up grabbed the case not knowing it wasn’t his and went to go to Italy.
Trish in the meantime passed the phone booth where Gwendolyn phoned the Undertaker. She knocked on the door and walked to the window. Gwendolyn Miccaro wearing sunglasses and a red dress walked over to Trish by the window. Gwendolyn watched the Undertaker’s plane take off while Trish turned away she had done what Gwen wanted. She left the case with her and left the airport.
John Cena and Undertaker’s assistant in Italy Cindy waited for the Undertaker’s plane to show up. It finally did. Christian Berti a scam reporter was there waiting for him also.
“Undertaker I heard you were recruiting clients here.”
“Christian you have anything better to do then harass me?”
“Yeah I do HHH is here.”
“You don’t say?”
“Thought he was your partner in crime.”
“Christian get a life.” Christian left. Undertaker, Cindy and John Cena walked outside. Undertaker hugged Cindy. He looked at Cena.
“Whose that?” He asked.
“Actually he’s been helping me here for the last little while I thought he make a good client for you.”
“Yo.” Said Cena.
“Yo? Is that English?” Asked Undertaker.
“Ah come on he’s just a kid.”
“Hey I’m no kid.” Said Cena.
“Well if you want to stick around you can Cindy seems to think highly of you and I trust her judgement.”
“Thanks Mr Undertaker.” Said Cena.
“I have something for you.” Said Undertaker.
“Oh really what?” Asked Cindy. Undertaker put the case on the hood of the car and opened it. Inside was a bunch of shredded paper.
“What the hell is going on here?” Asked Undertaker.
“You don’t know?” Asked Cindy.
“Seems to me you been played.” Said Cena.
“Shut up.” Said Taker.
“Not helping John. Ah what do you think?” Asked Cindy.
“The airport Gwendolyn called.”
“Oy you think she’s behind it?” Asked Cindy.
“Hard to tell.” Said Undertaker. The three of them got into the car so Cindy can drive them to the apartment she picked out for the Taker.
Chapter 8
Questioned
They got to the 10th floor in the building in Italy. Undertaker went left and Cindy took him by the arm.
“This way.” They got to the door and they found it was broken into.
“What in the hell is going on here?” Asked Undertaker.
“I don’t know I’m getting worried.” The three of them went inside. Once inside they found two people in here.
“What is this?” Asked Undertaker.
“Detective Jericho and Detective RaeLynn Brezzi.” Said Jericho.
“Hello.” Said RaeLynn.
“Doesn’t tell me what is going on here and did you break my door down?” Asked Undertaker hands on hips.
“Actually we’re here to question your assistant Cindy and you as well.” Said Jericho.
“Me why me?” Asked Cindy.
“You wrote a book recently something about murder and intrigue?” Asked RaeLynn.
“You did what now?” Asked Undertaker.
“I needed something to do while you were in America.” Said Cindy.
“The fact is that a young woman was killed here last night using the exact same methods in chapter 4.” Said Jericho.
“Ah you read the book?” Asked Cindy.
“He’s a fan of the book.” Said RaeLynn.
“Cindy didn’t murder anyone.” Said Undertaker.
“Would you like something to drink or you can’t drink on the job?” Asked Cindy.
“I only drink on the job.” Said Jericho.
“Ok then what’s your poison?” Asked Cindy.
“Scotch on the rocks.”
“And you?” Asked Cindy.
“Nothing for me.” Said RaeLynn.
“Take usual?”
“Yeah.” Cindy went to the kitchen. “You want to tell me if you plan to arrest either of us?” Asked Undertaker.
“Not at this point no right now it could be a copy cat.” Said Jericho.
“Could be?” Asked Undertaker.
“Well it could be a copycat or it could be…” Jericho trailed off.
“One of us? Let me save you the trouble Cindy wouldn’t hurt a fly and I was on a plane from New York to here.” Cindy came in handed UT the beer and Jericho the scotch the phone rang.
“Now what?” Asked Cindy picking it up. “Hello? Hello? Answer me you heavy breather.” Undertaker took the receiver.
“Listen you! Gwendolyn. Outside my window?” Buzzer went dead. They all looked outside. A grey sedan drove by. They didn’t know that Gwendolyn was still in New York she had someone drive past the window or did she?
“What’s going on?” Asked RaeLynn. The car stopped and someone who looked like Gwendolyn walked out and into the woods.
“An ex stalker girlfriend.” Said Undertaker. RaeLynn and Jericho ran outside.
By the time they got there the person was gone but the car was there.
“I told you to move fast.” Said Jericho.
“Look at it this way if I wasn’t your partner you would have nothing to bitch about.” Said RaeLynn.
“Come on.” Said Jericho.
They went back inside and by this time Undertaker downed his beer.
“Here’s my card call if there is trouble we’ll keep you posted.” Said Jericho.
“Ok.” Said Cindy and Undertaker nodded. They left.
“Ah I’m going to jet back to my pad dudes.” Said Cena.
“Ok see you tomorrow.” Said Cindy. Cena left.
“What do you know about him?” Asked Undertaker.
“He’s a good person he’s been a big help to me here.” Said Cindy.
“And any romantic inclinations?” Asked Undertaker.
“Would that be jealousy?”
“Nah not me. I’m going for a shower.”
“I’ll start on supper.” Said Cindy.
“No just wait I’ll take you out.”
“Taker you don’t have to.” Said Cindy. He went over to her and lifted her chin up with one finger.
“I know I want to.”
“I’ll wait right here.”
“Ok.” He kissed her on the forehead and went to shower. She patiently waited.

Chapter 9
Pieces
Undertaker took Cindy out to supper like he said.
The next morning the water in his apartment wouldn’t turn on so he called management. A man by the name of Jerry Lawler.
“Yes Mr. Undertaker right away. Ah…” A young woman came up beside him.
“Daddy can I have some money.”
“Yes I’ll do that.” He hung up. “What?” She dug into his pocket.
“Some money?” He handed her a wad of bills.
“Dawn go check the Undertaker’s water.”
“Alright.”
Undertaker opened the door. He saw Dawn the young woman.
“Here to check the water.”
“I was expecting a man.”
“He’s my father.” She looked past him. “It’s there?”
“Ah yeah I think.” She made her way to the kitchen to look. “And you are?”
“Dawn. I saw you train people you’re good.”
“Thanks.”
“Ah it’s not there where’s the bathroom?”
“Over there.” She went to the bathroom and looked at the water hole.
“Take a look for next time here’s the knob under the sink.”
“Ah.” They went back into the kitchen. She turned on the water. “See.”
“You’re very helpful.” They went back into the living room and Undertaker opened the door for Dawn. Cindy showed up.
“You know the bookstore across the street, the owner is a big fan of yours.”
“Guess I’ll have to check it.”
“Yeah well bye.” Dawn waved bye to Undertaker and Cindy. Cindy came in fully.
“You’re personal fan club.”
“She’s just a kid it’s not like that.”
“Oh really.”
“She was here to fix the water.”
“Your own personal plumber.” Cindy went to the kitchen she started to make coffee as Undertaker went back to the bathroom.
“You know I what I had to do last night?” He asked.
“Let me guess you were uncomfortable so you needed a better pillow. I’ll get you a feather down pillow.” Said Cindy quietly to herself while she made the coffee.
“I had to call down for a pillow to be comfortable.” Cindy chuckled to herself.
“Poor baby.” She said.
While the two were inside someone delivered a message and left it outside the door.
A minute later Undertaker dressed opened his front door and saw the note.
“When did this arrive?” Cindy came into the living room with coffee.
“What?”
“This note.”
“Don’t know.” He opened it and it said you’re going to die in cut up newspaper print. He went into the hall and looked around then went back into the apartment.
“You should call Jericho.”
“Eh it’s nothing.” Dawn came back with a lap top.
“I thought your assistant could use this.” Said Dawn. Cindy took it from her and put it next to the other one.
“I have one but that’s ok.” Said Cindy. John Cena came in.
“Hi.” Said Dawn.
“Hi.” He said.
“Bye.” Said Dawn and left.
“Bye.” Said Cindy coldly.
“Ah I think I should see if Dawn is ok.” Said Cena.
“If you wish.” Said Cindy relieved that Cena and Dawn seemed to like each other. Cena went to find Dawn. The phone rang and Undertaker picked it up. Heavy breathing.
“Gwen is this you.”
“Outside.” The voice breathed. They looked out the window and saw Gwen in a phone booth. Undertaker dropped the phone and went outside and Cindy followed.
“Where is she?” Asked Cindy.
“I don’t know.” Said Undertaker. She was gone.
Chapter 10
Iron is hot
Somewhere the shadow of a killer was having a nightmare.
In the nightmare. Jennifer was on the beach wearing a white dress with her boobs have sticking out no bra.
“Watch me play with him.” Said Jennifer. 4 men surrounded her and she got on her knees and touched them with her hand. They took turns kissing her and she knew the other man was watching. He chased her and knocked her over on the sand. She spit in his face.
“He’s nothing.” She said. She got up and the four men attacked him to the sand. As they held him she took the heel of her red pumps and put one of the heels in his mouth.
The shadow woke up, took some pills and got up.
Cena and Dawn drove around on his Harley. He dropped her back at the building.
“Oh go fuck yourself.” She said.
“Night.” He said and drove off. Dawn wasn’t ready to go back home instead she started walking. She walked down a sidewalk and felt a cold wind.
“Hello?” She walked past a high fence with a large dog barking at her. “Hello doggy.” She teased the dog. He jumped the fence and she ran like hell. Across a field and the dog caught up with her and took some nips at her. She kicked his face and got up and ran. The dog had to jump another fence. She saw a house with a pool, she went to the basement door and opened it.
“Hello?” She went down the steps. “Help I’ve been bitten by a dog.” When she got to the basement she saw cameras, hundreds of pictures taken of dead bodies. Mainly women. “Oh god.” From the shadows she heard:
“Slut.” A knife aimed in her direction and she ran up more steps to the living room she tried to get out but couldn’t.
“Please don’t.”
“Sluts must die.” Came the voice. He stabbed her with scissors.
Later on Undertaker and Cindy were sitting on the couch. He held her hand.
“We have known each other for a long time.” He said.
“I know.”
“There’s something I want to know.”
“Ok.”
“Cindy would you stay with me tonight.”
“In your room?”
“Yes.”
“No but I will stay on the couch.” He kissed her and gently laid her on the couch. He started to undo her blouse.
“Taker.”
“Yeah?”
“I love you.” He kissed her again.
The shadow was washing off his blade later on.
True to Cindy’s word she stayed but slept on the couch. Undertaker came in. He wrapped his arms around her.
“How you sleep?” He asked.
“Fine.” She turned toward him. “You should phone Jericho.”
“Got a better idea.”
“What?”
“HHH.”
“That crack? He’s your rival?”
“And a great promoter he might know stuff.” Undertaker called him.
The office of Triple H somewhere in Italy.
“Yeah Taker. Yeah ok Yeah bye. Little shit.” His secretary buzzed.
“Someone here to see you?”
“Who is it?”
“Some guy named Eric Bischoff.”
“Tell him I’m busy.”
“Alright.” HHH got up and went over to his wardrobe in the corner he opened and out popped a girl
“Close one.” She said. She kissed him.
“Gwen you risked a lot coming here.”
“You could help me get the Undertaker.”
“I’ll do what I can but you have to leave.”
“Meet me at the park three blocks away at noon tomorrow.” She said.
“Ok.” She kissed him again and left.
Chapter 11
Shoplifters must pay!
A young woman was in a store she was looking around she also didn’t know the killer was watching her. She picked up a book it had to with the Undertaker, HHH and Wrestling. She got caught and brought to the store manager Ric Flair.
“A wrestling book?” He asked.
“Give me a break huh? I’ll give you what you want.”
“What is your name?”
“Anastacia.”
“What I want huh?”
“Ya you know it.”
“What’s your address?” He gave her a pen and paper.
“Here ah 25 Villa Del Marta.”
“Tonight around six?”
“Yeah.” She left with the book.
Anastacia went outside but she had the feeling she was being followed. She ran home and as soon as she hit her living room she took off her red shoes, and put them in the living room then she started to undo her belt and went to her bedroom. She walked to the window.
“Hello Ana.”
“Oh hello Victoria washing day huh?”
“Yeah drawers what’s wrong.” Anastacia looked behind her.
“Nothing wrong.” She shut the window, finished getting undressed to her Chamise then went to the bathroom. She heard a noise and went to the living room.
“Hello?”
“Sluts must die!” She didn’t have time to scream the killer got her brutally with cut glass.
That night Lourdes Marchiano was sitting in a restaurant. She watched her girlfriend Renee with two men. Renee came over and sat across from Lourdes her breasts hanging out of her blue dress and the shawl on her shoulders falling off.
“The one in the red shirt is cute.” Said Renee.
“I didn’t notice.” Said Lourdes.
“I want you to stay away from the apartment for a little while.” Said Renee.
“What?” Asked Lourdes.
“Just an hour give me an hour.” Lourdes crossed her arms.
“I don’t know.” Renee went over to her and gently gave her a kiss on the lips.
“Honey not tonight no strings and no jealousy not tonight.” Said Renee.
“Ok one hour.” Said Lourdes and Renee left with the man. Christian Berti squatted beside Lourdes.
“Hey.”
“Hi.”
“What’s up?”
“I shouldn’t have never went out with a bi sexual.”
“Lesbo all the way then?” He asked.
“Yeah like the song goes.”
Jericho and RaeLynn were in the morgue talking to the attendant a man named Tazz.
“Cole’s not here tonight he’s off.”
“So who was she?” Asked Jericho.
“Some hooker.” Said Tazz.
“I think that it’s the Undertaker.” Said RaeLynn.
“Nah a copycat.” Said Jericho.
“The Undertaker is a legend around here.” Said Tazz.
“Quit thinking with your dick Jericho.” Said RaeLynn.
Lourdes made it home. She stood at the bottom of the stairs and Renee at the top.
“Did he go?”
“Yeah.” Said Renee. She wore nothing but a white sheet.
“So how was he?” Asked Lourdes.
“Truth? He made you look pathetic when we made love.” Said Renee. Lourdes picked up a vase and threw it and Renee ducked back into her bedroom.
“Fuck!” Screamed Lourdes. They didn’t know that the killer was nearby watching them outside.
Upstairs later Renee got out of the shower and put on Goblin’s Flashing on the CD player.
Downstairs in the living room Lourdes pulled the pull out and started to get undressed she lifted her shirt over. She heard a noise but before she can get her shirt off the killer came up behind her and pulled the shirt over her head so she couldn’t see.
“Sluts must die!”
“Ahhhhhhh!” He stabbed her with scissors.
Upstairs Renee thought she heard Lourdes scream. She turned off the CD Player.
“Lourdes?” She took a sip of scotch she was still wearing the sheet. She went outside of the room. She walked a few steps. “Lourdes?” She saw her dead body in the living room.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed Renee as she tried to run but the killer got her.
“Sluts must die!”
“No!” Screamed Renee. He bashed her head through the glass window in the hall. She instantly died.
Jennifer was in the dream again.
“I love to play with this nut.” She was wearing red shoes. The killer went up to her and kissed her and then stabbed her and she fell in the pool.
HHH went to the park. He waited and waited and no Gwendolyn until he saw a crowd by some bushes. It was someone’s body. A woman with red pumps showed up and watched Triple H leave. That was Gwendolyn.
When she got back home she found a box outside of her door with more pumps and a note.
“Your boyfriend Triple H is dead.” She sighed and went into her house.

Chapter 12
The Puzzle Fits
Undertaker opened the door to get the paper and he saw another note. He went inside where Cindy was typing.
“Another note.” She stood up.
“What does it say?” He opened it.
“HHH is dead.”
“Oh good lord.”
John Cena showed up.
“I gotta know one thing Taker?”
“What?”
“Did you kill Dawn.”
“What do you think I am boy?” Undertaker grabbed his jacket and left.
He went to find Jericho. They talked for awhile then Jericho and RaeLynn walked the Taker to his hog.
“Rae, go and see if there are any new developments.” Said Jericho.
“What are you nuts I want to know what’s going on?” Asked RaeLynn.
“Now.” Said Jericho. She went to go back inside. Jericho leaned against the Taker’s bike. “I once read what is the reason that seems to be the least probable is the most likely the reason to begin with.”
“What does that mean?”
“I could be looking at the reason right now and I don’t even know it.” Undertaker got on the bike and left.
He went to Christian Berti’s house and found John Cena looking inside the window. Christian was in the living room walking back and fourth.
“What are you doing here?” Asked Undertaker.
“Well Christian seems to be the logical choice.” Said Cena.
“Why?”
“The guy’s a fruitcake look at him.”
“I did it, I did it.” Said Christian. Undertaker and Cena looked at each other.
“Ok stay here I’m going to the front.” He left. A minute later Cena heard a struggle and yelling in the front. “Taker?” Cena looked in the window. He saw Christian being killed by a knife. He saw no person around just a hand. Cena shook his head to get to the front. He saw Undertaker passed out. He helped him up.
“What happened?” Asked Cena.
“I felt a large thud on the back of my head and I passed out.” Said Undertaker.
“Christian is dead.” Said Cena.
“Come on.” Said Undertaker as Cena helped him to Cena’s car. Cena was driving.
“Shit why won’t my car start?” Asked Cindy. She went into the Undertaker’s apartment to phone the Auto Club. The phone rang. “Hello?”
“Cindy?”
“Gwendolyn.”
“Cindy I think I’m going to do it again.”
“Gwen where are you?”
“At my house hurry.”
“I’ll be right there.” Said Cindy.
“I saw him being slaughtered and I don’t know who it was.” Said Cena as he drove faster. Undertaker looked ahead of him hoping to god that Cena would slow down.
“Ah slow down.” Said Undertaker.
“I can’t believe it.” Said Cena as he sped up. They almost hit another car and veered off to the side. Undertaker grabbed the keys.
“Take cab home. I’ll walk.”
“Where are you going?” Asked Cena.
“As far away from you you’re dangerous.” Undertaker began to walk. A few minutes later Cena was still in the car when someone in a mask and wearing all black came along and put his head through the window. Cena was dead.
Gwen waited at the table, a knife in her hand. She was wearing a white dress with red polka dots on it. Red shoes. She heard a noise.
“Cindy?” Another noise. Gwen looked but didn’t see anybody. An axe came through the window and chopped off Gwen’s hand.
“Ahhhhhhhhh oh god no.” The hand was still on the table with the axe in it. She got stabbed rapidity in the chest until she went to.
A few Minutes later Cindy came in.
“Gwen?” She saw the body. “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” She screamed.
“Cindy?”
“Taker?” Taker had an axe. “Oh god no!” Said Cindy.
“It’s not what it looks like.”
“She’s dead, her hand is on the table and you have an axe in your hand.”
“Cindy you showed up at the wrong time.” Undertaker advanced towards her. He heard a noise and dropped the axe and left. Jericho and RaeLynn came in.
“How did you know?” Asked Cindy.
“No time for that.” Said RaeLynn.
“What do you mean?” Asked Cindy.
“Give me your jacket then hide with Jericho.” Said Rae.
“Now she thinks with her head?” Asked Jericho.
Undertaker came back when he thought it was clear he looked and saw a body on the floor.
“Cindy? Cindy you can’t be.” He bent and RaeLynn got up.
“Whatever the least probable Is the answer that stares you in the face.” Said Jericho.
“How did you know?” Asked Undertaker.
“I thought that it wasn’t you until pieces fell apart. Jennifer the girl you killed so long ago was Gwendolyn’s sister. But you didn’t kill anyone besides Gwendolyn. Gwen killed Christian for piecing things together, killed HHH for calling it off, I suspect kill Cena for trying to help you. And was about to kill Cindy.”
“That’s why she called me wasn’t it?” Asked Cindy.
“Only Undertaker showed up before you to get Gwen he knew that she was out to get you so he got her. Gwen didn’t want you to have him.”
“Now it’s too late.” Said Undertaker slitting his throat.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed Cindy. Jericho got her out of there but RaeLynn remained. Only trouble is she shouldn’t have. The Undertaker pressed a button to make the blood spurt out he wasn’t dead. RaeLynn was about to find out the hard way with the axe.
“You’ll be safe now.” Said Jericho.
“Oh god why?” Asked Cindy not believing it was the Taker.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Screamed RaeLynn.
“Stay here.” Said Jericho he went inside. He found RaeLynn dead with the axe in her back. And the phony knife beside her.
“You shouldn’t have come back.” Said Taker. Jericho grabbed the Axe but Undertaker had his own Axe. He finished Jericho off.
“Oh god where is he?” Asked Cindy. She went inside and saw Jericho dead.
“Cindy my Cindy.” She turned around and saw Undertaker bloodied and alive.
“Taker?”
“Cindy we were meant to be together just like Jennifer and me. Jennifer didn’t want me. Gwen wanted me but I only used her long enough so you wouldn’t catch on to my feelings for you.” Cindy grabbed the Axe and got the Taker before he got her. She went back outside it was now raining.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” She screamed. She saved herself but at what price to her sanity?
The End
