“What are you
doing?” Scorpion screamed in panic as he felt his chair jerk with the weight.

Chris glared at
him in silence for a moment then reached down, grabbed the chair’s two front
legs and yanked upward, flipping the chair and its occupant backward over the
gunwale and into the sea.

As Scorpion
disappeared from sight, Chris replied, “I’m righting a wrong.”

penchant for violence and a desire for increased domination, Kincaid introduced
a new activity at the end of that summer's vacation… A home invasion, the
purpose being death and destruction for pleasure, at his command… Pleased with
the enthusiastic participation of his crew, Butch promised them the following
summer would be the vacation of a lifetime... Multiple invasions, an orgy of
