Since 1972,at the age of 21,Mick Steller has driven an ambulance in LA county.He has a wife named Patty and 2 children,Judith and Phillip,twins only 9 years old.Him and Patty gave up their first kid for adoption after he was born because of problems they were having at the time.Mick regrets it but hasn't found the time to look up his son yet.He's been busy with work.He's just about seen it all with the drive by's,murders,car accidents and anything else you could imagine.He would be called in to a crime scene first alot of times alot only to find that there are no survivors.Even though you try and try to forget something like that,you never really do.He wouldn't just drive the ambulance there alot,he would get out and check out the crime scene if they told him there were no survivors.He just had to see for himself alot of the time.Over the past thirty years of being an ambulance driver for all over LA county,Mick probably has some wicked horror stories to tell.I meen,he's seen over one hundred dead bodies not including the thirty that's died in his ambulance on the way to the hospital.They were pretty much always the same.Bloodied up,broken bones,decapitated sometimes even.No matter how vicious and detailed Mick could explain his gruesome stories to you,there's only one he can remember most...

It all started one night at about six pm on July 9th,1994 when Mick and his new partner Ron got a call to a stabbing downtown by the mall.Mick had been to that mall dozens of times for mostly shootings but rarely ever were there knives involved.Knives can be more deadly than guns sometimes.So Mick and Ron raced to the mall at about seventy miles per hour.It's always a tight jam on the highway to the mall so Mick would always drive through alleys as a short cut.It took them about eight minutes to get there and when they pulled up they seen one cop car and the cop sitting by holding a mans wound tightly.The man had been stabbed in the stomach and he was laying on the sidewalk breathing very fast and almost ready to pass out.The victim was a white male,kind of short,with scraggly black hair."I don't know what happened.The knife is right here."the police officer told them.Mick and Ron go their equiptment out and a stretcher and they bandaged his wound quickly,put him on the stretcher and put him in the back and Ron stayed back with him.Mick and Ron usually worked by theirselves which is why they were called to one victim incidents.After they got him loaded up Ron closed the doors and Mick got in the drivers seat and headed for the hospital in a hurry not saying a word.

They usually didn't talk much on their shift.There wasn't a window to see in the back of the truck so Mick could never see what was going on which fed his fear and anxiety of not going fast enough or maybe going too fast that he might wreck.He always worried about something. The hospital was five minutes away from the crime scene so timing was critical.Mick punched the gas and went on his way.In the corner of his eye,Mick seen an alley seen an alley that he'd never been down before but knowing it was the direction of the hospital,he chanced it and drove through the alley.Suddenly,Mick heard a big thud in the back of the ambulance.Then another one,and another.He didn't know whether to stop or drive faster.The noise stopped for a second and started rappidly again over and over there was a big thud against the side of the ambulance.Mick was almost down the end of the alley when he decided he was gonna stop and see what that was for only a second.He opened his door and rushed to the back of the ambulance only to see the doors wide open."Ron!"he gasped as he looked in the back of the ambulance.Ron had been shredded open like a cat with a mouse.He had a big tear in his shirt and a gash across his chest.One big one.Ron's pocket knife layed beside him all bloody from the stabbing.Mick could do nothing for ten seconds but stare.He looked back to see where the victim was that they picked up.He didn't see him so he jumped in the ambulance to see if Ron was still alive."Are you alive Ron?!Talk to me man!"he shouted at Ron laying there barely breathing,but alive.Mick opened up a box of bandages,taped them on Ron's wound and hurried back up to the cab of the ambulance to call in that there was an emergency that the victim was missing and that Ron was wounded then he started the ambulance up.

The alley was dark so Mick turned his brights on."Oh God please help me out" he said a little prayer to himself while looking for the other victim in the dark in case he hit him.Knowing that the victim was the one who had to of stabbed Ron,he just just punched the gas and took off down the alley.From nowhere the man jumps in the middle of the alley and Mick hits him dead on."Oh no,Oh no!"Mick screamed.He knocked the man back about twenty feet.Mick hurried out of the ambulance and rushed over to him in fear.It was definately the victim with a bloodied face,but his stab wound was gone.Mick just stared at the body confused and was getting ready to get back in the ambulance to take Ron to the hospital when suddenly the man sat up.The bloodied face looked up at Mick when narrow eyes."How are you alive?"whispered Mick who could barely breath from shock.The man sort of tilted his head and got up on his feet and walked towards Mick with an emotionless look.Mick could barely move but he managed to start moving backwards.The man walked faster and caught up to him,grabbed him,knocked his head into the ground and threw him in the middle of the alley.

The man jumped in the ambulance and turned it on.He appearantly knew how to drive.He waited for Mick to stand up in the middle of the alley.A short time later Mick stood up and the man punched the gas and drove towards Mick in a hurry.Just then,Mick seen cops driving down both ends of the alley.The cops were called there to look for the other man while Mick drove Ron the the hospital.Just before the man got to Mick,he jumped out of the way into some boxes and trash.The man didn't stop the ambulance he kept driving through and hit one of the cop cars.The alley was two cars wide.Wide enough for the ambulance to fit through.After hitting the first car,he managed his way through the other cop car behind and narrowly escaped the alley."We have stolen vehicle,attempted murder and some extremely weird stuff going on!He's headed north to the hospital for some reason but we're going to follow him there!"shouted one of the officers to dispatch.Before the cop cars took off Mick jumped in one of them."Ron's in the back of that ambulance with a fatal stab wound to the chest!"Mick screamed.

They took off after the ambulance as fast as the 94,chevy police car could go.A couple minutes later the man driving the ambulance got on the mic."Revenge is beautiful."The man said in a crisp voice."What's he talking about?" whispered Mick to himself.Mick got on the mic to the man,"Revenge of what,what are you talking about?" He gave it a second and there was no answer.They were almost to the hospital but the ambulance was a ways ahead of them dodging traffic.They finally arrived at the hospital a minute later and to their surprise,the ambulance had been driven through the emervency doors and there were no lights on in the entire 5 story hospital.The other police cars had arrived just seconds before Mick and the other officer."We're going in!" yelled one of the other officers.He got on the mic and called in for backup at the hospital.Nobody knew what to think.Mick quickly followed behind the officers going in."Stay back sir,this could get messy." the officer that drove him over told him."Ron's in there I'm not staying out here.There's some wicked things going on here tonight." he told the officer.The officer just shook his head and ran towards the door with the other officers.All was quiet except for the flickering of the emergency sign hanging down in front of the door.All of a sudden they heard a shreaking woman."Please don't!Just stop!Please stop!Oh God no!" she screamed.The officers got their flashlights out and ran into the building.Everything was dark but more flickers sparks from some of the damaged lights yet again.

The man had driven the truck about twenty or so feet inside the emergency entrance completely domolishing everything in his path.The cops shined their lights through the place but seen no shrieking woman.They finally looked behind the main desk to find the woman brutally stabbed in the stomach and her throat slit."Oh man I've never seen anything like this" said one of the officers right before he started to puke."I have." Mick said quietly.An officer looked back at Mick."I'm sure you have."he said.They walked slowly towards the wrecked ambulance and noticed the back doors and driver doors were both open.Mick ran up to the back of the ambulance but seen no sign of Ron."No!" he screamed as he hit his fist on the door."All personel please report to the third floor." the man said said on the intercom in a soft voice."Should we wait for backup?"the short time officer asked."No I'm going right now with or without you guy's." Mick said.He ran up the stairs to the second floor.The cops had no choice but to follow him so they did ran up the stairs with him.

"You do know we're dealing with an insane mental patient don't you guys?" asked one of the officers."What do you meen?" asked Mick.The officer told him,"That mans name is Preston Lansing.I've delt with him before.He's killed almost ten people but they would never find him guitly,only insane.He's escaped 3 times not including this one,from the mental institution.I knew he sort of looked familiar in the alley but his face was bloodied and I couldn't tell at first but now I do recognize him."What's he meen when he talks about revenge?"asked Mick."I think the story goes,when Preston was 10 his father was stabbed in the stomach and the medics got there but couldn't save him.Ever since then he's been a depressed boy without his father and he started experimenting with different pills and medicines and his mother found him laying on the floor with a knife when he was 16.She paniced when she seen the blood on the floor so she screamed and lifted up his wrists but there were only scars,no cuts.It's like they healed instantly."the officer explained."What happened after that?"asked Mick."Well,out of nowhere he woke up,grabbed the knife and killed his mother with it.Stabbing her over and over in the stomach just like his father had died.He had fits of anger as a child anyways but his father dying must of made it all worse.The cops came and caught him and arrested and he was eventually put in a mental institution.""What was his fathers name again."asked Mick."Well,Preston was adopted and he kept his original name but his mother and fathers name were Charlie and Charlotte Beckner."

Micks eyes lit up."Charlie Beckner?!"he yelled."I was the one who drove to that stabbing!"he said to the other officers.It's 94 now."he stopped and thought for a second."That was ten years ago in 84 when he was ten.I guess that makes Preston twenty years old."explained Mick."As a matter of fact,I remember the kid screaming about his dad when we went in the house."It happened on."Mick looked at the date on his watch.July 9th,that's today!"They eventually made it to the third floor slowly as they were trying to explain what was going on."Now I remember,July 9th.Preston's escaped three different times on that same date,the date his father was killed.Nobody knows who killed his father,he ws just outside at night and someone stabbed him."said one of the officers."I guess he blames the world on his fathers death."Mick replied.Just then Preston came on the mic again."What's taking you all so long?"he said quietly once again.The third floor of this hospital was huge along with the other ones but this one had more open space and it's where the surgery is performed on patients.

The 4 cops and Mick slowly searched some rooms looking for Preston and Ron.While the other officers searched one side,Mick and another officer named Steve walked down the other way.They came upon a door that said "Surgical Patients only".Mick nudged Steve to open the door.He opened the door slowly and they both stepped inside the room.There were tables around and tons of surgical knives and equiptment.They walked in the middle of the room to check under the tables when the door slammed shut suddenly."Oh my God!"Steve and Mick both said at the same time in a panic.As they turned around to look at the door,there Preston stood with a big bone cutting saw."Revenge is beautiful!"he screamed at the top of his lungs as he bent over from screaming.Mick and Steve were scared emotionless."Shoot him!"yelled Mick.Steve opened fire on Preston shooting him in the chest,hip,leg,and neck.Preston lunged back at the wall and fell down.They quietly walked over to him.Mick stared at his wounds as they began to heal."How in the world?"Preston came up and grabbed Steve's neck.Steve's gun fell out of his hand and Preston his Mick down to the ground.Preston turned on his saw and let go of his neck and cut a big gash in it before Steve could get away.Steve fell straight to the ground and blood gushed from his neck.Mick grabbed the gun from the floor and tried to shoot Preston but hit the saw with his last bullet.By this time the other officers had heard the gun shots and made it to the room but couldnt get in.Preston smiled at Mick and slowly walked toward him with the bone saw."Revenge is Beautiful."he said grinning.Steve was dead on the floor from a loss of blood.

"Why are you killing people?!"yelled Mick."I was the one driving to pick up your dad when he got stabbed!We did all we could do to save him!It was just a fatal wound!That doesn't meen you can take revenge on innocent people!"Mick said desperately.One of the other officers barged through the door with the other ones behind him."Stop or I'll shoot,Preston!Preston just looked at him and smiled."Revenge is beautiful Mick."he said again."How do you know my name?!"asked Mick.Preston walked toward the other officers with the saw so they began to fire.They shot him everywhere with 9mm and 45. bullets.They shot him in the face and everywhere.After the shooting stopped,a swat team had entered the building and backup had arrived.Preston appeared to be dead but Mick was afraid of his healing abbility so he grabbed the way before anyone could say anything and he turned it on high and sliced it down Prestons neck and cut his head clean off.Before anyone could say anything about it someone screamed,"Oh Lord!"Mick and the other officers walked in a room down the hall and went in only to find Ron on a surgical bed with his arms and legs tied down and his stomach cut open and his guts removed in a sack next to the bed.Mick couldn't say a word.He just puked."Oh no,Ron no.It was his first day on the job!"Mick said crying.

It was about 8:30 pm and Prestons doctors and the coroner had arrived.There were alot of people recovered from the downstairs wreck and that most of the people had evacuated anyways from the entire building.After Mick got settled down some of Prestons doctors sat down with him to talk to him about Preston and what had happened.Mick told them the whole story about finding Preston stabbed on the sidewalk and how he stabbed Ron and crashed into the hospital.The doctors had told Mick Prestons condition and why he killed."How did Preston know my name?"asked Mick."Do you want the good news or the bad news?"the doctor asked."What are you talking about?"said Mick nervously."The good news is that the son you gave up for adoption lived to be twenty...you already know the bad news."
