Chapter 2

Present Day

Late Wednesday night on the streets of Baltimore, Larry Dermont, who was recently released from prison, is walking down the side-walk. He looks across the street at a couple of women and begins thinking what they would look like with their eyes cut out. He stops near a car and stares at the women. An evil grin stretches over his face. In the passenger side mirror of the car, he notices a man off to the left.

"I wasn't expecting someone to be following me so soon." Larry said softly to himself.

Larry takes another look in the mirror and notices who it is. He turns to the right and begins walking back down the side-walk.

"I've been looking for a present to send to Anthony… And since you're following me Danny… You'll do." Larry said softly to himself as he continues walking. "What am I gonna with you Danny. You were never good at remain unseen when following a person."

After making a couple turns down side streets, Larry finally turns right and walks into a dark alley where his car is waiting. Danny, a detective who was following him and who is friend's with Tony, stops and pops his head out to see down the empty alley. He doesn't see Larry somewhere. Danny slowly and cautiously walks down the alley. He walks to a door to see if it will open, but it appears to be locked. He continues walking further into the alley.

A couple seconds later, the door opens and Larry walks up behind Danny. With holding a cloth, from behind, he places the cloth over Danny's nose and mouth. While holding the cloth to his face, Larry forces him to the ground.

"Night, night Danny." Larry said.

Hours later Danny wakes up in an abandoned house somewhere in lower Pennsylvania. He's tied down to a table with duct tape over his mouth. He moves his head to look to the left where he sees a man's back. He struggles a little bit trying to set himself free. Larry turns around.

"Don't bother struggling. It's pointless."

Larry turns to his work station and grabs a knife. He then turns to Danny while holding the knife behind his back. He walks to the table where Danny is tied down to. Larry is now standing right next to the table. He looks down at his victim.

"You're gonna help me bring Anthony DiNozzo back home to Baltimore. Well… I should say… Your eyes will." Larry stated.

Larry moves his arm to reveal the knife to Danny. He now sees the fear in his eyes.

"I never had a male victim before… So this will be a first. Besides… What better way to bring Anthony home then to give him the eyes of his old partner."

Larry smiles evilly as he brings the knife closer to Danny's face. He grabs Danny's face with his free hand. Then he begins to peel the duct tape off his mouth.

"I prefer hearing my victims scream. It's what drives me really. Besides, we're in an area where no one will ever hear you. So scream your heart out. But look on the bright side Danny… You'll get to join an exclusive club where you'll be the only man. You'll be surrounded by females… Can't beat that."

Larry pulls the duct tape off Danny's mouth.

"HELP!" Danny yells as loud as he can.

"Yes… HELP!" Larry shouts with him.

Larry grabs Danny's face with his free hand and begins pushing the knife closer to his left eye.

"Don't worry Danny… This will definitely hurt."

Larry pushes the tip of the knife into the side of Danny's left eye in order to cut it out. Danny begins screaming in agony but Larry just continues to gouge his left eye out of his head.
