Devil's Advocate
Richard Newman and his wife Theresa couldn't believe it was Halloween already. The director in charge Mary Lewis had asked all of those residents wishing to come up to the third floor to pick out a Halloween costume.
Theresa had told her husband Richard still recovering from the past month's abduction by Richard Long now dead. He's not been himself of late and Theresa had been concerned in spite of the fact they were now separated for the time being.
Taking the elevator ride up to the third floor around eight-thirty a.m. in the morning. The door was opened as Mary Lewis had been going over all of the activities today with the party in the afternoon along with the catered food in the auditorium.
Theresa had advised Mary and her husband that she wanted to wear a Devil's costume since she was always afraid of the devil ever since she was a little girl. Walking inside the office with boxes of costumes sitting on the tables. Mary had Theresa's costume ready for her to be trying on in four different sizes.
It was beginning to be busy with more of the residents showing up for their costumes. Was I another resident that I wasn't able to see the face before trying it on in one of the dressing areas?
Theresa had found this strange at first as she had asked Mary Lewis how many residents had picked out the devil costumes.
She was sitting at her desk inside the alcove. She will say the following to Theresa showing Mary that she had all of the pieces since she will be wearing a medium, while the other was a small frame version.

"He's downstairs having breakfast with some of his friends. He's not exactly in the best of mood Mary ever since he's been hit over the head a few times over the years. He's still having emotional dishevel with his doctors telling him to take it easy." Theresa tells her as the resident that had tried on the second Devil's costume walked out to begin the nightmare...

On the first floor heading for room 121 with the door almost always opened since the woman has dementia. She was slowly walking out with barely any clothes as the resident dressed in the Devil's costume spoke with Joanne married with six kids and unable to focus on her mental state.
"Hey! Joanne how to do you like my costume?" the resident will say as Joanne is slowly pushed back into her room with the door closing even though the camera wasn't directly on it.
The resident quickly pulled out his blade wearing blue gloves as the blade strikes her throat cutting the main artery as her body fell to the ground. The resident needed to move her body into the large bathroom since she has no roommate.
The resident was strong enough with having to be working out for physical therapy. After washing off the blood on the blade and the gloves washing into the basin.
