MID FALL 1978
"It's me not you"
That thought had gone around her head all morning. Alec wanted to meet up at Central park at 2. By the tone of his voice, he was going to end their relationship. She just knew it deep down in her heart.
She hadn't been able to focus on work all morning, because of those thoughts. The whole thing was going over and over in her head.
But, although it seemed to take forever, 2 O'Clock eventually came around.
Lisa made her way to the park and she saw Alec waiting for her. He was standing up after sitting on an iron bench.
"Hi..."
Lisa plastered on a forced smile, "Hi..."
Alec nodded up ahead, "Wanna take a walk...?"
A walk? Yes it was a bright sunny day but it was also windy and there was leaves being whipped up all around them.
"Alec...what's all this about?"
Alec had his hands dug deep into the pockets of his leather jacket, "Okay...look...there's not any quick smart ways of telling you this but..."
Lisa had guessed already, "It's me not you"
Alec was opened mouthed. But he realised he was open mouthed and nodded running a hand through his hair, "Yeah...look, it's just not working out is it? You and me...and besides...there's something I need to tell you..."
Lisa felt her heart sink...why did she KNOW what he was going to say next?
"Me and Kirsty are getting married..."
It was Lisa's mouth that was open now as she pushed the hair out of her face.
Alec carried on, "...It's not been going on for long...I promise it hasn't but...WE love eachother"
Lisa felt sick. She backed away, Alec held his arms out, "Where you going? Lisa we've gotta talk about this..."
Lisa was shaking her head and then turned the other way and started running across Central park.
The wind was in her face and the grit it blow about made her cheeks sting. Alec was such a jerk! No! He was MORE than that!
The tears were going to come soon and she didn't want to be seen crying out on the streets like some looney.
Too late...she burst into tears at a bus stop and clutched onto a post for comfort.
"It's about time he told you"
Lisa looked up and saw Kirsty standing there. For some reason her eyes were blood red,
"I've been telling him for WEEKS that he should tell you and NOW he has!", she laughed. The laughter had a mocking tone to it. Mocking her.
Lisa just stared at her. Kirsty was just standing there in what looked like a hospital gown on her and it was covered in blood.
Lisa clamped her hands over her ears as Kirstys laughter invaded her mind. And then it stopped. Lisa opened her eyes and saw that Kirsty was gone...there was nobody there. She composed herself and walked on, she needed to get back to work.
No...work could wait...

Kirsty Brown had just stepped out of the bathtub when the door buzzer was going. She grabbed her bathrobe and padded across the landing to her New York appartment to the handset, she picked up the receiver, "Hey...what's all the buzzing about"
"It's me! Can I come up?"
Kirtsy pulled a face, "Errrrrrr...yeah...", she pushed the door release and opened the front door ready, then she quickly grabbed a towel from the bathroom and dried her damp hair.
Lisa was then in the door way. A scowl on her face for her.
"Oh...you know, Alecs told you, has he"
Lisa was fuming, "All these weeks of lying to me...did you two find it funny, did you? Laughing at me behind my back"
Kirsty rolled her eyes at her, "Ohhhh GIVE ME A BREAK! Alec LOVES me! He wants to marry me! Why shouldn't me and him be together? Oh come on Lisa, you must've of know that you and him wouldn've lasted, you're not suited for one thing"
Lisa shook her head, "You two are unbelieveable! You are not even sorry, are you?"
Kirsty certainly didn't look sorry, " Lisa...just get out will you...Alec'll be back soon and it's better that you are not here"
Lisa backed away and gave Kirsty a dismissive glare, "You know what...yeah I will...YOU TWO deserve each other, I hope you two will be really happy" and with that bit of spite draining her, she was gone.
Kirsty laughed. She shivered as the cold got to her. It was really cold like she was in some kind of icy grip. He teeth chattered together as she hurried into the bedroom. She could see her breath. She had this sinking feeling, like she was falling. It scared her. Her heart raced as she sat on the bed to calm herself down. It was just Lisa...but it was all over now.
Alec was hers and there was nothing that bitch could do about it.
But she still felt like she was falling.

Lisa let herself into her place and shut the door behind her. She still couldn't stop thinking about the events of the day. First Alec breaking up with her, then Kirsty mocking her.
She hung her jacket over the bannister post and went into the kitchen and turned on the light.
For a second she thought she could hear someone whispering. She poured herself a glass of wine and went into the living room.
Was that creaking floorboards upstairs? She put the glass down and went to the base of the stairs and peered up into the gloom. She then snapped on the light and went upstairs to the second floor. Her bedroom door was open. She crossed the landing and peered inside the room, the closet door was wide open.
Was there somebody inside it? It looked like somebody was standing inside in the shadows.
She jumped out of her skin as the door knocker banged out downstairs
She turned and quickly crossed the landing and hurried down the stairs and opened the door. Two cops were standing there. It was raining heavily she noticed.
"Sorry to bother you mam...but we are alerting everybody in the neighborhood about one of the psychiatric patients breaking out from the mental hospital. We have sealed the whole area off for a search, we advise you to keep all your windows and doors locked..."
Lisa tried to breath out a chuckle, "What, and he'd come here? Do you know where here is?"
"Yes mam...the patient has found to have a great interest about the murders that happened here and about the book..."
Lisa stopped him, "Yes yes...okay...I'll keep the door and windows locked"
The cops left and she closed and bolted up the door.
Turning she suddenly heard a loud crack of thunder and then all the lights went out...
