 Chapter Three (of 5): "Hospital Hand-Me-Downs"  When I reached the hospital, I immediately found out which room Jenny was staying in. Not wanting to wait for an elevator, I ran up the stairs to the third floor. As I came flying through the stairwell, I noticed the fire alarm. Next to it was a fire extinguisher and a fireman's ax encased behind a glass panel.
"Maybe I AM overreacting," I thought to myself. "There's no way Jimmy could've snuck into the hospital with an ax without SOMEBODY seeing him, right?"  Nevertheless, I marched towards Jenny's room determined to make sure that Jimmy Hampton could cause no further damage. I was almost to her room when I heard Jenny let out the most blood-curdling scream followed by loud crashing sounds! Jimmy Hampton came stumbling out of her room with one hand up against his eyes and the other holding that dreadful Valentine box. His shirt had something splattered all over it. It looked like blood. JENNY'S BLOOD!!
He did it. Jimmy actually did it! He had silenced poor Jenny for all eternity. She would no longer have to worry about writing with any of her hands thanks to him! Before I could do anything, I noticed that Jimmy had spotted me. The box he was holding slipped from his fingers and tumbled to the floor. Out of the box came the severed hand. JENNY'S HAND!! "What brings you here, Me-loser?" Jimmy snarled towards me. "If you think you're gonna tell anybody about what you saw here, you better think again!" It was when Jimmy started walking towards me that I realized he was going to do to me what he did to Jenny. That's when I felt a rage inside of me that I never felt before! I decided then and there that Jimmy's reign of terror was going to end. I rapidly ran to the fire alarm lever and pulled it down. The loud ringing of the bell made me feel as if I was racing against time itself. "What the heck do you think you're doin'?!" Jimmy yelled my way. "You ain't seen nothing yet!" I yelled back. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Jenny! You'll never hurt anyone again, you sick fiend!" I took off my coat and wrapped it around my right arm to break the glass that contained the fire extinguisher and ax. As I reached inside, I realized that what I was about to do was going to leave quite a mess all over the third floor of the hospital. -End of Chapter Three- Chapter Four: Things really get messy when Melissa tries to cut Jimmy down to size. However, before this chapter ends, Melissa might be the one cashing in her chips. All will be revealed in our next chapter: "Slip, Shriek, Squeal, No Appeal."
