PIPER'S APARTMENT

The next day, Joanna and I received a text message from Piper, telling us she gotten a VHS tape.

On the VHS tape, it's a snuff video of the recreation of when Quinton Kiermont unexpectedly showed up at Piper's apartment.

A silicone-masked Quinton Kiermont impersonator and a Piper silicone masked impersonator are fighting each other in a living room.

But then, it takes a dark turn when the Quinton Kiermont impersonator shoots the Piper impersonator in her stomach and a small puddle of blood forms on the floor underneath her.

And then, the Quinton Kiermont impersonator looks at the camera and stares. And the snuff video statics off.

"So, Quinton Kiermont thinks it's amusing to recreate his attempt to murder me at my own apartment?" said an upset Piper.

"He did it to unsettle you, Piper. Quinton is a mad sociopath." Joanna said.

"But why the snuff video tapes? What's the point?" Piper asked, taking out her VHS tape from the VCR.

"The point is to bother you, to unsettle you, and to keep you up at night by staring at the ceiling." I said.

"Where, exactly, is Quinton Kiermont getting these VHS tapes?" Piper asked.

"Probably from the VHS tape store?" Joanna replied.

"Quinton is smarter than that. Eventually, he's gonna get bored with his snuff video tapes." I said.

My phone buzzes in my coat pocket. I take out my phone and looks at it.

Ziandra Tomas

I answer my phone. "Hey, Ziandra."

"Hey Angie S. Can you come by The Poison Apple?" I have something related to your special agent assignment?" Ziandra asked on the phone.

"I'm on my way." I said to her, and hangs up my phone. I glance at Piper and Joanna. "I gotta go. But we'll get to the bottom of this snuff video tapes."

"Okay." Joanna said.

And I walks away.

THE POISON APPLE DIVE BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

Later that day, I arrived at the dive bar. Ziandra told me that she gotten a VHS tape of a young woman impersonating her, doing some lady-like things.

Ziandra and I are watching the snuff-romance VHS tape.

On the snuff-romance VHS tape, a young woman is wearing a silicone mask of Ziandra, half naked, gently laying on her stomach, laying on the bed, twirling her pink-hightlighted black hair with her finger.

A young man wearing a Quinton Kiermont silicone masked impersonator slowly walks up from behind her and gently crawls atop of her.

"What the hell?" I said, becoming disgusted.

Ziandra and I exchange bewildered looks at each other and we continue watching the snuff-romance VHS tape.

The snuff-romance tape continues as the Quinton Kiermont silicone masked impersonator takes out a knife and stabs the Ziandra silicone masked impersonator in her stomach with blood on the bed cover.

Afterwards, the Quinton Kiermont silicone masked impersonator looks at the video camera as he gets up and just stands there.

And the VHS tape statics off and ejects itself.

"What the hell was that?" I asked.

"Something disturbing." Ziandra said.

"These VHS tapes are really getting on my nerves." I said. "I'm gonna collect the tapes and destroy them."

"Destroy all the snuff VHS tapes." Ziandra said.

"Will do." I said.

After Piper, Joanna and I collected all of the sniff VHS tapes, we smashed each one of them with sledgehammers and puts the ruined VHS tapes in a pile.

With a match, I light it and gently tosses it in the pile of smashed VHS tapes and it ignites in a flame.

"At least, the snuff VHS tapes are gone." Piper said.

"Yeah, they are." I said.

"Quinton Kiermont is weighing on you, isn't he, Angie?" Joanna said to me.

"Yeah, he is." I said. "But we need to find out who was behind the snuff VHS tapes."

"It's obvious who's behind the snuff VHS tapes. It's Quinton." Piper said.

"We can visit him." Joanna suggested.

"We can." I said.

QUINTON KIERMONT'S WORKSHOP

Later that afternoon, Piper, Joanna and I slowly walks inside the workshop.

"Agent McCall, Kerns and Saunders." Quinton Kiermont said. "What are you Special Agents doing here?"

"We know that you're the one that made the snuff VHS tapes." Piper told him.

"The snuff VHS tapes were your idea." Joanna said.

Piper and Joanna walks to the back of the workshop.

Quinton looks at me and sly smiles. "Okay, you got me. I'm the one with the snuff VHS tapes and the silicone masks. It was fun while it lasted though."

"Enough, Quinton." I told him, annoyed. "Enough with your mind games and schemes. We will defeat you."

"Good luck with that, Angie." Quinton said with a smug small smile.

Piper and Joanna walks back inside with sack bags of blank VHS tapes and silicone masks.

"Angie? We can go now." Joanna said.

"Okay." I said.

Piper, Joanna and I walks away.

"Watch your backs." Quinton Kiermont threatened.

Piper, Joanna and I glance at him and we walks away, walking out of the workshop.

JEN'S MALT 'LIT CHOCO DINER

That evening, Piper, Joanna and I are sitting in a booth table across from each other.

I'm sitting across from them.

"Do you think Quinton is gonna come after us?" Joanna asked.

"I don't know." I said to her. "We know what Quinton Kiermont is capable of whenever he gets an urge to do something."

THE ROSEBUD / AIDEN'S AND ANGIE'S APARTMENT

Later that night, I arrived at the apartment and gently closes the door behind me.

Aiden is vacuuming the carpet floor. He and I exchange looks at each other and he turns off the vacuum cleaner.

"Hey." He greeted me.

"Hey." I greeted him back and looks at a gift box on the coffee table. "What's with the gift box?"

"I don't know, it was here when I got here a few minutes ago." Aiden told me. "It's for you."

I walks up to the gift box and opens it. I become shock at what it is.

"What? What is it?" Aiden asked and looks inside the gift box and looks shocked.

Inside the gift box is a rotten skull and dead scorpions.

"What the hell?" Aiden said.

"Quinton." I said, knowing he's the one that sent the gift box.
