Excerpt from “3381 Market
Street”: Leaning back against the side of the pool, Katherine stretched her
long legs before closing her eyes. Suddenly, someone shoved her beneath the
surface and held her there by her hair. Unable to breath, she scratched
frantically at her foe’s arm until her attacker released her. Popping up from
her watery grave, she gasped for air, her eyes stinging from the chlorine.
Temporarily blind, an alert staff member pulled her from the pool. Choking, and
spitting water, she said, “Someone tried to drown me.”
Looking about, the employee
said, “Miss, there’s no one else here.”
“What about the mother and
daughter I talked to?”
“What mother and daughter?
The only other women here are with a group of senior citizens. They meet here
every week for water exercises. It helps their arthritis.”
“Where’s Officer Schumacher?
I’m leaving now,” she said, stomping to her room.
Once inside her suite, she
telephone Greg, but got his answering machine instead. Believing Jessie was
behind the attack, she grabbed her suitcase and frantically packed. That was
not to be. Elaine Moser tackled her from behind out of the closet, and began to
strangle her. Unable to release Elaine’s grip, Katherine ripped a button from
her swimsuit. Using it as a weapon, she sliced Elaine’s face with one hand, and
followed with a hard-fisted, round-house punch with the other.
Frantic and breathing
heavily, Katherine ran to the door, but found it double bolted. Suddenly, a
knife flew at her and stuck in the door, narrowly missing her head. She turned
on her heel and ran onto the balcony, screaming for help. Yanking the knife out
of the door, Elaine charged at her a second time. Katherine leaped aside and
Elaine plummeted over the railing, falling three stories.
