- 0:01Speaker 1: It was just another busy Monday at the Lax. My
- 0:05Speaker 1: shift had barely begun when the call came in. A
- 0:08Speaker 1: woman at the bar was causing a disturbance. I was
- 0:11Speaker 1: familiar with the usual disturbances, passengers who drank too much,
- 0:15Speaker 1: who were stressed about their flights, or the entitled brats
- 0:18Speaker 1: who demanded that the gates be open for them because
- 0:21Speaker 1: it's the traffic's law that they weren't on time.
- 0:25Speaker 2: But this call was different.
- 0:26Speaker 1: The caller's voice was laced with fear I hadn't heard before.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I arrived at the bar to find a scene of chaos.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Broken glass littered the floor, and a circle of wary
- 0:37Speaker 1: onlookers had formed around a woman standing on a table.
- 0:41Speaker 1: She was middle aged, with wild, unkempt hare and eyes
- 0:44Speaker 1: that darted around the room like a trapped animals. Or
- 0:48Speaker 1: clothes were disheveled, stained with spilled drinks.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Get away from me, you snakes. You won't take me.
- 0:54Speaker 1: The bartender caught my eye, motioning me over as I
- 0:58Speaker 1: approached the woman or attention shifted to me and her
- 1:02Speaker 1: expression twisted into one of pure hatred.
- 1:06Speaker 3: You you're one of them, aren't you?
- 1:09Speaker 1: Loos?
- 1:09Speaker 3: The first dog.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I held up my hands and what I hoped was
- 1:13Speaker 1: a calming gesture.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Ma'am, I'm here to help. Why don't you come down
- 1:18Speaker 3: from there so we can talk.
- 1:19Speaker 1: She grabbed a bottle from the counter and hurled it
- 1:22Speaker 1: at me. I barely dodged it, feeling the glass shatter
- 1:26Speaker 1: against the wall behind me. The crowd gasped and took
- 1:29Speaker 1: a collective step back.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Help you call this help, You're all in on it.
- 1:36Speaker 3: You don't think I know.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Her voice was rising, becoming more frantic.
- 1:41Speaker 1: She leaped down from the table, landing awkwardly but not falling.
- 1:45Speaker 1: With surprising speed, she charged at a young man near
- 1:49Speaker 1: the bar, screaming incoherently. I rushed forward, managing to pull
- 1:54Speaker 1: her away before she could do any real damage, but
- 1:57Speaker 1: not before she landed a few wild punches him.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Get back, everyone, get back.
- 2:03Speaker 1: My words seemed to snap the onlookers out of their stupor,
- 2:06Speaker 1: and they began to scatter. Marie, seeing her audience flee,
- 2:10Speaker 1: became even more erratic. She dashed behind the bar, grabbing bottles,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and one by one started flinging down with reckless abandon
- 2:19Speaker 1: The air filled with the sound of breaking glass and
- 2:22Speaker 1: shouts of panic.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I'll blow this place to kingdom. Come you'll all see,
- 2:28Speaker 3: you'll all burn.
- 2:31Speaker 1: My blood ran cold at her words. Bomb threats were
- 2:34Speaker 1: no joke. I reached from my radio, calling for backup.
- 2:39Speaker 3: We have Code violet at the bar. We need all
- 2:41Speaker 3: available personnel now.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Marie had grabbed a large knife from behind the bar
- 2:46Speaker 1: and was waving it wildly. I edged closer, trying to
- 2:51Speaker 1: keep her attention on me.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Marie put the knife down. We don't want anyone to
- 2:55Speaker 3: get hurt.
- 2:56Speaker 1: She laughed, a high, hysterical sound that sents down my
- 3:00Speaker 1: spine hurts.
- 3:05Speaker 3: You think I care about hurt, You're all dead, dard.
- 3:09Speaker 1: She lunged at me with the knife and I barely
- 3:12Speaker 1: managed to dodge. Her movements were erratic, but her strength
- 3:16Speaker 1: was terrifying. I pulled out the taser, but she got
- 3:20Speaker 1: to me first, slashing at my hand, making my taser
- 3:23Speaker 1: fall down. She was fueled by a manic energy that
- 3:26Speaker 1: made her incredibly dangerous. I could see the veins on
- 3:29Speaker 1: her neck bulging, her eyes wide and bloodshot. Back up
- 3:34Speaker 1: arrived just as she managed to corner, a terrified woman
- 3:37Speaker 1: holding the knife to her throat. The sight of more
- 3:41Speaker 1: uniforms only seemed to agitate her further.
- 3:44Speaker 2: No more dogs, no more, You'll all pay, she was screaming. Now,
- 3:49Speaker 2: the knife pressed against the woman's skin.
- 3:52Speaker 1: My heart pounded as I tried to think of a
- 3:54Speaker 1: way to diffuse the situation. One wrong move and this
- 3:58Speaker 1: could turn deadly in an instant. My colleagues spread out,
- 4:02Speaker 1: trying to surround Marie without provoking her further.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Marie let her go. We are the dogs, right, not them,
- 4:09Speaker 3: They are just normal people.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Marie's eyes flicked between us, filled with a blend of
- 4:15Speaker 1: paranoia and fury. She looked like a wild animal, cornered
- 4:19Speaker 1: and ready to strike. Without warning, she shot the woman
- 4:22Speaker 1: away and lunged at me again, slashing wildly with the knife.
- 4:27Speaker 1: My colleague seized the momentary distraction to rush in, tackling
- 4:31Speaker 1: Marie to the ground. The impact knocked the wind out
- 4:34Speaker 1: of her, and the knife skidded across the floor. But
- 4:37Speaker 1: she was far from subdued. She writhed beneath them, screaming
- 4:41Speaker 1: and scratching, her nails digging into their arms and face.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Let me go, you damons, I'm an American citizen. You
- 4:50Speaker 3: can't do shit to me.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Her voice was a raw, primal scream that echoed through
- 4:55Speaker 1: the bar. My colleague struggled to keep her pinned. I,
- 4:59Speaker 1: despite my injury, moved to help, and together we managed
- 5:02Speaker 1: to hold her down until more security personnel arrived with.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Restraints secure her.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Now it took all of us to restrain her, and
- 5:11Speaker 1: even then she fought like a demon possessed, shrieking, wailing,
- 5:16Speaker 1: making strange noises. Once she was finally subdued, handcuffed and sedated,
- 5:22Speaker 1: I slumped against the bar, breathing heavily, My arms and
- 5:26Speaker 1: face throbbed with pain from the scratches and cuts.
- 5:29Speaker 2: The bar was a wreck.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Broken glass, spilled drinks, and bloodstains covered the floor. The
- 5:36Speaker 1: patrons who hadn't fled, stood and stunned silence, trying to
- 5:40Speaker 1: process what they had just witnessed. Marie was carried away,
- 5:44Speaker 1: still muttering about Lucifer's dogs and bombs. The paramedics arrived
- 5:49Speaker 1: shortly after, tending to my wound and checking on the
- 5:52Speaker 1: other injured passengers. I could see the disbelief and fear
- 5:56Speaker 1: in their eyes, the same emotions I felt coursing through
- 5:59Speaker 1: my owns. This was an incident that would stay with
- 6:03Speaker 1: all of us for a long time. As I looked
- 6:06Speaker 1: around taking in the aftermath, I couldn't shake the feeling
- 6:09Speaker 1: of dread that lingered in the air. Marie's psychonic episode
- 6:13Speaker 1: had been like a whirlwind, leaving destruction and fear in
- 6:16Speaker 1: its wake. The police arrived, taking statements and starting their investigation.
- 6:22Speaker 1: They praised us for handling the situation, but it felt
- 6:26Speaker 1: like hollow praise. Well had contained the immediate threat, but
- 6:29Speaker 1: the scars, both physical and emotional, would take time to heal.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Later I sat in the infirmary, nursing a cup of
- 6:37Speaker 1: coffee and trying to steady my shaking hands. I kept
- 6:41Speaker 1: seeing Marie's wild eyes, hearing her screams. The fear and
- 6:45Speaker 1: desperation had been so palpable, so overwhelming. I wondered what
- 6:50Speaker 1: had pushed her to that point, what demons she had
- 6:53Speaker 1: been battling. As I left the airport later, the city
- 6:57Speaker 1: lights blurred through my tired eyes. The event of the
- 7:00Speaker 1: night replayed in my mind, a restless loop of chaos
- 7:03Speaker 1: and terror. I knew I would have nightmares about it
- 7:06Speaker 1: for weeks, maybe longer. The encounter had shaken me to
- 7:10Speaker 1: my core, revealing the fragile line between sanity and madness.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Maurice's psychonic terror had left an indelible mark on all
- 7:19Speaker 1: of us. As I drove home, I couldn't help but
- 7:22Speaker 1: feel a profound sense of vulnerability, a reminder of how
- 7:26Speaker 1: quickly everything can unravel. The above story is inspired from
- 7:32Speaker 1: a real life incident. On May fifth, twenty twenty three,
- 7:36Speaker 1: officers were dispatched to the airport in regards to a
- 7:39Speaker 1: highly intoxicated woman who was harassing random people and refusing
- 7:43Speaker 1: to leave the bar. When two officers arrived to diffuse
- 7:47Speaker 1: the situation, the woman could barely speak, yet she spoke
- 7:52Speaker 1: that she just had two glasses of wine and that
- 7:55Speaker 1: too over two hours ago. When she got hostile, the
- 7:59Speaker 1: officers tried arresting her, which triggered an episode, resulting in
- 8:03Speaker 1: assaulting the police officers, hurling abuses and loud crying. The
- 8:08Speaker 1: woman also believed that because she is a German citizen,
- 8:11Speaker 1: she couldn't be arrested on US soil. I never thought
- 8:17Speaker 1: our vacation in Cabo would turn into a nightmare. It
- 8:21Speaker 1: was supposed to be a week of suns, sand and
- 8:23Speaker 1: sea for me and my friends Olivia, Ethan, Sarah and Jake.
- 8:28Speaker 1: We had known each other since journalism school, and this
- 8:31Speaker 1: trip was a long awaited reunion, but everything changed the
- 8:35Speaker 1: night Olivia was found dead. We had spent the day
- 8:39Speaker 1: exploring the beach, and Olivia, with her ever present camera,
- 8:42Speaker 1: snapped photos of everything. She was a photo journalist and
- 8:46Speaker 1: was actually the one who made the Cabo trip possible.
- 8:50Speaker 1: That night, we decided to have a dinner at a
- 8:52Speaker 1: fancy restaurant by the sea. Olivia seemed distracted, but I
- 8:56Speaker 1: brushed it off, thinking she was just tired. Around midnight,
- 9:01Speaker 1: we returned to our hotel. Olivia said she was going
- 9:04Speaker 1: to bed early, while the rest of us decided to
- 9:07Speaker 1: hang out by the pool. An hour later, we heard
- 9:10Speaker 1: a loud scream from Olivia's room. We ruffed in to
- 9:13Speaker 1: find her lying on the floor, lifeless. The room was
- 9:17Speaker 1: a mess. Drawers pulled out, her suitcase overturned. It looked
- 9:22Speaker 1: like a burglary gone wrong. The police arrived quickly and
- 9:26Speaker 1: started their investigation. They took our statements and searched the room.
- 9:31Speaker 1: The officer in charge, Detective Martinez, seems competent, but something
- 9:36Speaker 1: about the scene didn't sit right with me. Olivia's camera
- 9:39Speaker 1: was missing, and I knew she had never let it
- 9:42Speaker 1: out of her sight. Detective, do you think it's possible
- 9:45Speaker 1: the burglar took her camera.
- 9:47Speaker 2: It's likely. We're still looking for any clues that could
- 9:50Speaker 2: lead us to the suspect.
- 9:52Speaker 1: The next few hours were a blur. We were all
- 9:55Speaker 1: in shock, trying to make sense of what had happened.
- 9:58Speaker 1: As the police continued there investigation, I couldn't shake the
- 10:02Speaker 1: feeling that there was more to Olivia's death. She had
- 10:05Speaker 1: been secretive in the past few days, and I wondered
- 10:08Speaker 1: if it had something to do with her work. Olivia
- 10:11Speaker 1: was a freelance photographer and she had recently been working
- 10:14Speaker 1: on a project.
- 10:15Speaker 2: That she was very secretive about.
- 10:17Speaker 1: She had mentioned it to me in passing, saying it
- 10:20Speaker 1: was something big, but she never gave any details. I
- 10:23Speaker 1: decided to start my own investigation. I knew I had
- 10:27Speaker 1: to find the camera. The first place I checked was
- 10:30Speaker 1: the beach where we had spent the day. I searched
- 10:33Speaker 1: through the sand looking for any sign of her camera.
- 10:36Speaker 1: As I was about to give up, I spotted something shiny,
- 10:39Speaker 1: half buried near a rock. It was a memory card.
- 10:43Speaker 1: My heart raced as I picked it up. Could this
- 10:46Speaker 1: be the clue I was looking for? Back at the hotel,
- 10:49Speaker 1: I borrowed Ethan's laptop and inserted the memory card. The
- 10:53Speaker 1: photos were mostly of our trip, but as I scrolled through,
- 10:56Speaker 1: I found a series of images that stood out. It
- 10:59Speaker 1: were taken to night, showing a meeting between two men
- 11:02Speaker 1: at a secluded spot by the beach. One of them,
- 11:06Speaker 1: as we learned later, was a local businessman named Carlos Mendez.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Do you think Olivia found out something she wasn't supposed to?
- 11:14Speaker 1: I told my friends, and stupidly enough, we decided to
- 11:17Speaker 1: confront Mendes. It was risky, but I knew we had
- 11:21Speaker 1: to do it. Upon a little googling, we found that
- 11:24Speaker 1: Mendes was big on doing local charity.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Work for missionaries.
- 11:28Speaker 1: He had recently donated land to a particular sister, Gonzalez,
- 11:33Speaker 1: so we thanked being members of her church and requested
- 11:36Speaker 1: an urgent meeting, saying that sister had developed some health
- 11:39Speaker 1: complications which we needed to discuss. Drove to his villa
- 11:44Speaker 1: and found him waiting for us poolside. We were secretly
- 11:47Speaker 1: recording him. I don't know what you're talking about. Leave
- 11:51Speaker 1: my property now, he fumed as soon as he realized
- 11:55Speaker 1: we were there to accuse him. We have photos of
- 11:58Speaker 1: you meeting someone. The night before Olivia was killed. She
- 12:01Speaker 1: had them on her camera. Mendez's face turned pale. He
- 12:05Speaker 1: glanced around nervously before stepping closer.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Listen, you don't know what you're getting into. Leave now,
- 12:12Speaker 2: or you'll regret it.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Before we could react, his guards appeared and we were
- 12:17Speaker 1: forced to leave. As we drove back to the hotel,
- 12:20Speaker 1: I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He's definitely hiding something. We need more evidence, I told
- 12:27Speaker 1: my friends. We sneaked into Olivia's room that night. As
- 12:31Speaker 1: we searched through her belongings, I found a small notebook
- 12:34Speaker 1: hidden under a mattress. It was filled with notes about
- 12:38Speaker 1: Mendez and his illegal activities. She had been gathering evidence
- 12:42Speaker 1: for weeks. It suddenly made sense why she wanted us
- 12:44Speaker 1: all to come to Cabo. She was investigating Mendes for
- 12:48Speaker 1: a story. As we debated our next move, there was
- 12:51Speaker 1: a sudden knock on the door. It was Detective Martinez.
- 12:56Speaker 1: What are you doing here? This is a crime scene.
- 12:59Speaker 1: We found something. Olivia was investigating Carlos Mendez. She had evidence.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Give me that notebook. I'll take care of it. Something
- 13:08Speaker 1: about his tone made me hesitate, But before I could react,
- 13:11Speaker 1: Martinez grabbed the notebook and left.
- 13:14Speaker 2: That is when we doubted his involvement.
- 13:17Speaker 1: We decided to follow Martinez, hoping he would lead us
- 13:20Speaker 1: to Mendes. He led us to a warehouse on the
- 13:23Speaker 1: outskirts of town. Martinez parked his car and went inside,
- 13:27Speaker 1: carrying Olivia's notebook. We waited a few minutes before sneaking
- 13:31Speaker 1: in through a side door. The warehouse was dimly lit,
- 13:34Speaker 1: filled with crates and equipment. We could hear voices coming
- 13:38Speaker 1: from an office at the back. Soon I heard Martinez
- 13:41Speaker 1: talking to someone peeking through a crack in the door.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I saw him handing the notebook to Mendez. Good work, Martinez.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Now we just need to destroy this evidence. What about
- 13:52Speaker 1: the friends now getting close? Make it look like an accident.
- 13:57Speaker 1: My blood ran cold. We had to act. I motioned
- 14:01Speaker 1: for the others to follow me as we slipped back
- 14:03Speaker 1: towards the exit, But as we turned a corner, we
- 14:06Speaker 1: ran straight into one of Mendez's guards. Ron We scattered,
- 14:11Speaker 1: but the guard grabbed me, slamming me against the crate.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Pain shot through my side as I struggled to break free.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Ethan and Jake and Sarah managed to escape the guard.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Dragged me towards the office. Well, well, looks like we
- 14:26Speaker 1: have a hero, Mendes greeted me. Detective, teach him a lesson,
- 14:32Speaker 1: then get rid of him. The guard hit me again
- 14:35Speaker 1: and everything went black. When I came to my senses,
- 14:40Speaker 1: I was tied to a chair in the middle of
- 14:42Speaker 1: the warehouse. My head throbbed and I could feel blood
- 14:45Speaker 1: trickling down my face. Mendez and Martinez were arguing nearby,
- 14:50Speaker 1: but I couldn't make out their words, and I.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Struggled against the ropes, but they were too tight.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Just when I thought all hope was lost and I
- 14:58Speaker 1: heard a commotion outside, the door burst open and Ethan
- 15:02Speaker 1: and Jake rushed in, followed by Sarah and a group
- 15:05Speaker 1: of local police officers. They had managed to find help
- 15:09Speaker 1: and had come to rescue me. The police quickly subdued
- 15:12Speaker 1: Mendez and his guards. Martinez tried to escape but was
- 15:16Speaker 1: tackled by one of the officers. Sarah ran to my side,
- 15:20Speaker 1: helping to untie the ropes. The officers arrested Mendez and Martinez,
- 15:25Speaker 1: and I was taken to the hospital. As it turned out,
- 15:28Speaker 1: Martinez was involved in smuggling of cocaine. Olivia had exposed
- 15:33Speaker 1: one of his men in Miami, where she worked as
- 15:35Speaker 1: an investigative photojournalist, and that is how she got to
- 15:39Speaker 1: know about the main man, Carlos Mendez. We had managed
- 15:43Speaker 1: to expose Mendez's crimes and bring him the justice, but
- 15:47Speaker 1: it had come at a terrible cost. A few days later,
- 15:50Speaker 1: we gathered at the beach to say our goodbyes to Olivia.
- 15:54Speaker 1: As the sun set over the ocean, I felt a
- 15:56Speaker 1: sense of closure.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Olivia's death would not be in vain
