January 2nd 2000

                        "Good evening, everyone and welcome to your news at 5, I'm Joel Nowell. Tonight, we bring you an update on the events that occurred on New Years Eve at the Savage Keys Americas Mall. It has been confirmed that eight people have been brutally murdered in what some have been calling revenge for bullying! The assailant is Amada Wainwright thirty years of age who worked at a restaurant where all the victims worked. Now if you've recognized the name, well let me remind you how you recognize his name.

Twenty Years ago, in the Town of Vincettio- yes the Islands burning city, a young man is accused of burning down his trailer park which also is cause for the towns continued fires today. Some say it was nature that caused the town to be a fiery pit of hell all these years; but many others believe young, abused Amada Wainwright started the fires. In doing so he murdered his entire family!

Amada ended up working at the restaurant and there were no background checks he seemingly just appeared on staff one day according to survivor Amy Thomlinson. I'm standing outside of the Casper Cove Hospital where the surviving staff targeted in this murder fest have been taken. As you can see it is absolute chaos as reported from all across the Island have come to find out more about this tortured young man.

(Walking up to Amy, Joel begins to question) Ms. Thomlinson, could I possibly get an update on all that is happening here? How are you feeling? I don't know how to feel to be honest, its been a day since we were saved from the mall- from Amada! What do you know of Amada Wainwright? He was a gentle soul. He wasn't this monster that did all this! How is your boyfriend, Steve Maxwell? Steve is in serious condition and may not survive. I trust he is in the best care possible here at the rehabilitation centre. Where are the other two survivors Sean and Serena? They have been taken to their families on another part of the Island, separately. Ms. Thomlinson, last question – do you believe all of this was caused because of continued bullying of Amada?

Unfortunately, yes I believe this!"

As the year went on, Amy moved home to Capshaw County and started a new. She broke off things with a bed ridden Steve and chose to walk away from the past traumas altogether. A year after that, the rehabilitation centre caught fire and burned down. Miraculously Steve survived by the kindness of a stranger and lived to tell another story of his abusive care.

Joel Nowell ended up covering this story as well. He learned and reported that it was assumed that the late Robyn Wainwright, Amada's mother survived the trailer fire all those years ago as well. She ended up becoming the head nurse at the Casper Cove Centre. Six months of drugging and paralyzing Steve Maxwell came to an end one stormy night. She died alongside her son and others in the fire!

"The END of a Murder Family Legacy" was the headline and title of his book. Joel Nowell won an award for his work on this case.

Steve ends up going to live with Amy on a ranch in Capshaw. They rekindle their love and promise one another to never part again. A summer of love spent wining and dining each other. Friend gatherings and socials made for new memories. Steve had been applying for all sorts of jobs after he took a securities course. He eventually got an offer for the 4C and left to assume a role in character for this themed hotel. A Disney world in none other Casper Cove.

The day the offer was hand delivered, Steve was out in town picking up some things for he and Amy's anniversary dinner.

                          (Answering the door Amy meets the messenger)

"Hi there, I'm Dina Pickles with the 4C! Oh, hello goodness you're bubbly first thing in the morning...Ms. Pickles? Forgive me and my southern charm, I can get a little too excited! How can I help you Ms. Pickles? Well, I am here to bring a fabulous job offer to a one Mr. Steve Maxwell, are you his wife!? Oh, gosh no not yet anyway. My name is Amy. Please where are my manners, do come in. (Amy welcomes Dina in and shows her to the kitchen)  Why what a beautiful little home you both have. Thank you, you could say Steve and I have been building a life out here in the country. This home is our baby! Well, I wont take too much of your time. Here is the offer package from the resort and we couldn't be happier to have Steve join our team! What is the 4C, Ms. Pickles? Why it's the Casper Cove Cloud Cuckoo Land Hotel of course! Steve applied for a job in Casper Cove? Well, he applied to the parent company to work in one of the properties. He just got real lucky to be or potentially be chosen for this resort.

Where is Steve by the way Amy? (Ms. Pickles looks around casually) Oh he must have gone into town. Sorry I'm slightly thrown off by the concept of where this place is. Why is that dear? (Ms. Pickles stares at Amy, and Amy gets an odd feeling) Oh, no reason I guess. Sometimes my mind goes elsewhere is all. Can I offer you some tea Ms. Pickles, I'm sure Steve will be home soon. (Ms. Pickles phone begins to ring.....  )

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Amy drops her tea cup and lets out a small whelp! ( Slowly shutting her phone off and carefully turning around, Ms. Pickles asks...) Goodness dear, is everything ok? Uhhhh, yes. I am so sorry! Its ok, ill leave you to it, if you're sure you are alright? Yes, uh thank you for coming Ms. Pickles Ill be sure to tell Steve. Thank you dear, we are looking forward to hearing from him soon! Toodles!!" (Amy shuts the door discreetly watching the woman walk down the drive. As though a thunderbolt struck her directly in the heart, Amy feels the fright she felt on that fateful night. Replaying Tony's death, over and over. The door opens behind her and she screams so loud the neighbors up the acre could hear!

    "Amy, oh my god love are you ok? What the fuck has happened here? (She looks around, noticing she broke a tea cup and its been hours since the visitor. She hugs Steve with all her might) Awe Amy, what's wrong? I had someone come drop off a welcoming offer for a job in Casper Cove for you? Casper Cove? I didn't apply out there! The lady explained you applied online to a parent company. Oh, ok yeah maybe. What caused you to scream and break a teacup? I did this when she was here, her phone went off and it was the same music at the fair. The fair, you mean that night Amy? Yes, Steve it was so eerie I couldn't stop my fears. Its simply a coincidence Amy, he's dead! I felt him, Steve. In that moment I felt Derek here, my fear was alive again. I don't know what to say Amy. It must have been my PTSD; she was a woman and from the south. I simply haven't heard that music in so long, I stopped! Let me run you a bath, then we will eat ok."

                                        Amy can't get the ladies face out of her mind, a freckled fair skin lady with bright red hair- from the south!?

The Winery event gets under way, and everyone gets to know one another. Joel introduces Peter to Steve and Amy.

             "I am so glad you made it, Joel! Thank you, this is Peter my partner. "Hi Hi, you both are just breathtaking in real life! Real life hey! (Says Steve) Oh you know what I mean. Well thank you Peter, we feel good were happy to be here! What's with the welcoming music hey! Peter! Stop. Oh I see you read the book form your husband. Ha, yes I am sorry poor choice of ice breaker! Its ok, I tend to go back there from time to time, a normal reaction to post traumatic stress. Amy, you've been beaming since you came in what is happening! Well, I wont be drinking tonight lets just say that!! Oh wow you guys, congrats!! Thanks Joel, were excited (Steve replies)

           We can see that all the who's who is here for the charity event! (Peter takes Amy to the dessert side bar, while Joel and Steve chat) Yeah man, even reporters from across the Island. (pointing) and that there Joel, is the Mayor of Casper Cove. I see him, what's wrong with him being here? Oh he made it clear a few years back that he was firmly behind the idea of me burning down the centre. Ahh, yes good ole Mr. Murphy and his lost stock options. (They Laugh) Are you fitting in well here Steve? Yeah, I'd say so man. I've made some life long friends over the last few months and Amy coming up for this weekend is icing on the cake.

(Joel slips Steve a box) Here it is my friend! You got it? I picked it up in the city straight from Mikkim Auction House. (Steve opens the box revealing the Omi Priv'e Sapphire Diamond ring) Its absolutely stunning Joel. I know right, Amy is going to love it! When are you popping the question? At the ball, tomorrow night!"

The two men put away the ring and say their hello's to the early departing Mayor and his wife.

The couple head up to their royalty suite guided by Count Alex of course. Alex takes their evening suits and places them in the closet, revealing their bathing wear for their soak in the already soaked hot tub. "Let me pour you both some champagne. Why, Alex you are quite the host! He is paid to do this darling, don't talk to the staff! You may go now Count Alex (says Ian- Alex leaves the suite) Sweetheart why do you have to be so asshole like! Karen, if you had my job you wouldn't be the friendliest person either. The whole evening did you notice any one other than that suck up Hartman, come up to us? No one really welcomed us. God sakes the influencer and Model had more of a welcome than we did! Ian, stop pouting. They cannot help it, if they're more popular than you or your stocks in the resort. Not just this place, but the centre as well. Maybe if you weren't so critical of poor Steve Maxwell and his life being saved people would be more welcoming. Didn't you notice how he and that reporter looked at us? Yes dear I seen the little punk. (Rubbing suds on her man) oh Ian, not everyone can love you much like I can". (Karen rings the bell for Alex)

The door opens and a count enters. The soaking couple are playing with their bubbles and making out-old people style not to really pay attention their butler. Karen asks for more chocolate covered strawberries. Ian demands more Champagne as well and he says hurry it up spic! (A racial term, not ignored by Alex)

Moments later the door opens again and the count comes in. Ian signals to fill his glass with more champagne all the while placing his head between his wife's bossism. The count places the bottle down and removes the vintage royal army ordnance dress sword from the fireplace mantle. Karen opens her eyes and sees the count not in his pure white uniform, but rather a Rangers outfit. She opens her eyes more clearly just in time to have the sword slice through her forehead, splitting her head. Blood swiftly flows from her corpse and Ian doesn't notice as of yet. Some blood gets into his mouth, and then he sees his butchered wife in the water. He drops her body and begins to climb backwards out of the hot tub. He falls off the side and cracks his chin.

This is where he sees feet approaching him. He jumps up, slipping on the soapy floor he catches him self from falling again. This time he looks at Derek. "Holy Mary Mother of God you survived!! Fuck this!" Ian tries to make an escape from the room. Derek uses the sword yet again this time lopping off one of Ian's feet! Ian falls to the floor screaming in agony.

Derek turns on some classical music, loud enough to blur any screams Ian may make. Alex has returned with the order to find the do not disturb sign on the Royalty Suite door. He hears the music and assumes the couple have decided to fuck instead of eat. Alex leaves the area and returns to his desk down the hall. Ian reaches for the door handle but loses his hand in another fell swoop of the sword. Ian goes into shock and loses consciousness.

Derek drops the sword in the hot tub and exits the room unnoticed by Alex.
