July 10, 1998
Arianna James was 16 today. She was so happy; she thought that she might explode with it. Her parents had gotten her a new car for her birthday. It was a candy apple red Volkswagen Bug. They had allowed her to call her friends, Paulette and Alexandra, to invite them to go to the mall with her in her new car.
The girls said they could go, so Arianna drove over, picked them up and then drove to the mall. When they arrived at the mall, Arianna parked, and they all went in. Once inside, they decided that since they were all hungry they would eat lunch first, and then shop. They all decided to eat at the Pizza Place. As they started over to get in line to order, Arianna realized that she left her purse in the car
Darn. I left my purse in the car, she told Paulette and Alex. Why dont you two go ahead and order and Ill run out to get my purse.
Paulette and Alex laughed at her.
Where did you put your keys? asked Paulette.
Arianna looks horrified for a moment, and then feels the keys in her pocket. She pulls them out and shows Paulette.
Laughing, Paulette and Alex turn to go into the Pizza Place.
Well go order our lunch. Well order yours too, and you can pay us back when you get here with your purse.
Thanks, Paulette. That will save time. Ill run both ways, Arianna tells them, as she heads for the door.
Alex and Paulette go on in to the Pizza Place and get in line.
Paulette, do you know what Arianna wants on her pizza? Alex asks.
Yeah I do. She always gets the same thing, pineapple and onions.
Both girls wrinkle up their noses at that. They place their orders, pick up their drinks, and find a table to sit at. Soon, the pizzas are brought over to the table, and Paulette and Alex start eating and continue talking. They are so involved in their conversations, that they dont realize how much time has gone by since Arianna left to get her purse.
Meanwhile, Arianna is running to her car. She doesnt notice that there is a man standing between the cars just a few down from hers. He turns toward her as he hears her running up. He ducks down between the cars, as if to hide, but he didnt really need to as Arianna is focused on getting to her car, getting her purse, and getting back inside. Arianna reaches her car, unlocks it, and leans in and grabs her purse. As she starts to stand up, she hears a noise behind her. She turns toward the sound, but doesnt see anything. As she turns back to lock her car, someone grabs her from behind. The person puts one arm around her neck and a hand over her mouth.
Dont make a sound or you are dead, a husky voice whispers in her ear.
Arianna nods to show that she understands. She realizes that she is in trouble. The man holding her is strong. He lets go of her mouth and she takes a deep breath to scream. But, before she can get a sound out, he punches her in the stomach and then punches her in the face. Arianna starts fighting in earnest now, but hes strong and she cant get away from him. She tries again to scream, and this time he punches her so hard in the jaw that she falls back into the car door. He grabs her and throws her on the ground between the cars. He kicks the door shut on her car, and comes down on top of her. He starts ripping her clothes off, and Arianna tries again to scream. This time, he grabs her hair and starts banging her head on the pavement. Arianna fades in and out of consciousness. He sees that she is out of it, so continues to tear away her clothes. He finally gets all of her clothes off of her. He notices that she looks like shes aware of whats happening, so he puts his hand over her mouth again. He then starts raping her. Arianna tries to scream and fight, but he is so strong. She manages to bite his hand, but that makes him angry and he starts beating her head against the pavement again. Then he punches her in the jaw. Arianna is knocked unconscious. The man bites her and hits her; all the while hes raping her. He then rolls her over onto her stomach and he sodomizes her, still biting and hitting her at the same time. Finally, he finishes. He looks around; seeing no one he stands up and pulls his pants back up and pulls up the zipper. He starts to step over her to leave when he realizes that the stocking over his face is torn. Not knowing if the girl saw him or not, he starts kicking her all over. When she makes no noise, and doesnt move, he stops and looks around again. Someone is just coming out of the mall. He quickly pulls off the rest of the stocking mask and stuffs it in his pocket. He walks over one row, gets in a car and leaves.
