Chapter 17
In the Beginning
Part 2 October 28th 1974

It had been difficult the last year to keep her secrets as she noticed more and more children disappearing. The role of the grieving mother wasn't as hard to play, but her mock cruelty was. During these last few months she had fought hard to get close to Fred Krueger. He on the other hand didn't seem to notice.

From the time she walked in to the bar, defaced the back side of the signs coming in to town, to confessing false angst to get close to the murderer who she was positive who killed her son. She told of abuse from foster parents, and lied about her joy to be free of a child. And he believed her. And in the end he showed her everything.

But why?

It wasn't easy. Gina had to touch the darkness of him to even get close. But it was enough, and it was worth it just to get close. As she had done all of this more were missing, but she knew they would not be found. And then one day it happened.

The evil touched the good people. And it was then she knew it was time. She left evidence in places where the police would find it, until they did catch him. But they had been sloppy in their catch. He was released.

Gina sat silently in the back of the court room as the grieving parents cried. Fred Krueger had just been escorted from the courtroom where he would later be released. Gina had ducked behind bench until he was gone before she sat and listened to the angry ranting of mothers and fathers.

"It's different now." She said finally. The room when silent and they turned to her. Lt Thompson's eyes widened. He had forgotten that it was her son that first made him aware to how real this was. His daughter had been kidnapped a month before.

"What do you care?" said Doug Parker.

"Oh I care." She said softly. "I know how it feels. And I can help you."

"How can you help us?"

"Cause I know where he goes." She confessed. They all walked in to the isle of the court room and huddled around her. "I know where he sleeps."

"We can't talk about this here. We will meet at my house tomorrow evening.and if what you say is true."

"Just be there." Gina said and turned and left.

Later the next evening inside the Thompson's house Gina sat on the couch. Around her stood all of the parent's of murdered children. They had spoken all day about what to do, and only those who were willing to come and do what ever it took were there.

They waited until Lt Thompson returned from a neighbors. He had dropped off his surviving child there so not to be awoken but the bitter parents standing in his living room.

"I have a plan." Gina said. "This bastard murdered our children. And the government is not on our side. I know what I mean, cause my son has been dead for over a year with no one coming to my rescue. But I know who his killer is and I know how to make him pay."

The room was silent as they listened to her words. She fed their fury as she described her loss and the police's lack of evidence and motivation. They felt abandoned and the system seemed unfair.

"Krueger was found at the Springwood power plant basement, in the boiler room." She continued. "What is to say he didn't go back there? I say the bastard needs to burn in hell for what he has done.I say we send him there ourselves."

The parents listened eagerly as Gina laid the plot for them. They were to meet her at plant at 5pm with bottle bombs and fuel. They would trace building with the fuel and use the bombs as starters. All they needed to do was show up.the hard part would be hers.

She would meet Krueger at the high school to congratulate him on his victory over the system. She would bring a bottle of gin laces with a sedative so he would sleep soon after. She would shower him with complements and feed his ego with false plans for more murder.then she would lead him to his car where she would tell him sweet dreams.

The trap would be set.
