Chapter 2

One week before Gideon and Rachel left for their vacation a convict by the

name of Michael "Myers" Dubois had escaped from prison. Dubois was caught

by Gideon and convicted on three accounts of first degree murder and was

serving life in prison only because the state of New York didn't not approve

of the death penalty.

Dubois had snuck into a home in the middle of the night and found his way to

the bedrooms of a husband and wife and their only child. Dubois had first

gone into the bedroom of the parents. He crept his way over to the side of

the bed that the husband was on and put a pillow over his face and slit his

throat. He then climbed into the bed and pretended to be the husband and

then cut out the woman's lungs and liver from behind. He then proceeded to

go into the child's room, a five-year-old boy, and repeatedly slash and

dismember the boy. The remains of the boy's arms and legs were found by

police in the kitchen garbage disposal.

Dubois was not what people thought a psycho killer actually looked like or

acted like. He was a husband and a father of two boys and highly regarded in his

neighborhood. He was about 6' 5" and skinny with a slight muscular build.

He was even named father of the year by his neighborhood. He also

volunteered to coach baseball for the kids little league team.

People still talk about why Dubois had done this dastardly deed and most of

them were wrong. Most of the people thought he had been putting on charade

the whole time or that he had been forced to do it by some other madman.

But in all actuality, Dubois had had multiple personality problems all his

life and had been succeeding in repressing the evil side of him. But after

being fired from his job that he had been at for 15 years and not being able

to support his family Dubois finally lost control and went on a rampage.

Now he had escaped and he was looking to repay Gideon in the only way that

he knew how.

Dubois had managed to sneak aboard the SS Siesman and pose as a bartender.

He grew a beard and wore colored contacts; after all he didn't want to be

discovered by Gideon until the time was right for revenge.
