appear that a burglar had come that way. Around this time Kosta came
down the stairs, turned off the burglar alarm, let Bryan in through the
glass door, closed the door, and set the alarm once more. The two men
perhaps waited in the dark for several minutes to make sure Dina was
asleep.
When the time was right the two men moved quietly up the back stairs,
Kosta leading the way. They crept into the bedroom where Lisa lay
sleeping. Kosta crawled in next to his wife. He looked at Lisa, then
at Bryan. He wanted to watch it happen. Bryan, probably nervous,
probably shaking, pulled the .22 caliber pistol from his pocket. He
moved very close to Lisa. She was sleeping on her side, so he had to
aim the pistol into the side of her head from above. He pulled the
trigger, firing a bullet that crashed into Lisa's skull and entered her
brain. Immediately blood began pouring out of Lisa's head. Bryan
pulled on the trigger 3gain. The gun jammed. He tried it once more.
Still the gun would not fire a second shot. He shook the gun and
turned around and went to the door of the bedroom, as if he were going
to leave. Then he came back and shook the gun some more.
As far as Kosta knew, Lisa was dead or dying. And now was clear to
Kosta that Bryan would not be able to fire another round. Kosta
reached under the bed. He pulled out a loaded 9-millimeter,
semiautomatic Walther PPK pistal. The light of early morning coming
through the windows was more than enough for him to take careful aim It
Bryan Chase and fire four bullets into the boy.
We know about Bryan's last minutes from Lori Bender"on's recollection
of what Kosta told her and Deidre later that morning.
"He just described how it happened," Lori says. "He described in
detail, you know, about how he had unloaded the gun into him. He was
kind of proud. He was happy he had killed Bryan."
Lisa had been sleeping soundly. She had stayed up late with Kosta and
Peter Kouracos, watching a movie on the VCR. She and Kosta had
discussed their Key West trip, scheduled for the next day. She had
gone to bed sometime after Dina came home, while Peter was still
there.
At 5
.M. she heard a noise and woke up momentarily. Her head hurt and she
went immediately into a dream. In her dream there was a judge, a huge
judge in black and he seemed angry. He smashed down his gavel and it
made a terrifying BOOM. Why was he so angry, Lisa wondered.
Down went the gavel again, crashing like thunder BOOMlts noise
resounding through her head. It made a terrible pain in her head. Why
doesn't he stop? she thought, why doesn't he stop? BOOM went the
gavel. Her head hurt so much, and she thought if the judge would stop
banging his gavel then her head would not hurt.
BOOM went the gavel one more time.
"I woke up or opened my eyes," Lisa recalls, "and Kosta was standing
over me like in a crouched position with his arm around me or under me
crying his eyes out and I heard my mother in the background screaming,
"Oh my child, my child,' and just screaming at the top of her lungs.

And Kosta was crying and he was saying, "I'm going to kill him, I'm
going to kill him,' and I had no idea what happened. And then the next
thing I know, my mom came into the room and Bryan Chase was lying on
the floor and she said "Who is this?" and Kosta said something like,
"Well, that's the guy that shot Lisa."
"At that point I knew I was shot and I knew I was in shock and I
thought, What do I do? Do I just lie here or do I come out of shock
and tell these people who I love and who love me, that I'm okay? So I
came out of shock and I said, "I'm all right." And I looked at Kosta
and I said, "Is it Teja?" That's the only thing that made any kind of
sense, that Teja would try to kill me to stop me from identifying him
as the holdup man. And Kosta said, "No, it's not Teja, it's Teja's
friend from Ohio, he must have hired him, I'm going to kill him, I'm
going to kill him."" For Dina, who was half asleep at the time, the
noise sounded not like a banging gavel but like fireworks. To him it
was a constant bang, bang, bang, bang, and he woke up suddenly. His
heart was pounding. What the hell is going on?
he thought.
Wearing only his underwear, Dina ran into the hallway.
Lisa, he thought. He charged toward Lisa's bedroom.
"Dina, call 911," Kosta shouted. "Lisa's been shot."
Dina, thinking that the house was being fired on from outside, dove to
the floor of the hallway. He crawled along the carpeting until he got
to the upstairs bathroom, which had a phone. Still staying low he
reached up and yanked down the phone that sat on the bathroom sink.
He called 911. "This is an emergency," he said. "Someone is shooting
at us. They're shooting at us, they're shoooting at us! My sister's
been shot. They're outside the house, shooting at us." The dispatcher
asked Dina for the address and told him the police would be right
there.
When Dina hung up he ran into Lisa's bedroom. "Lisa, Lisa," he
cried.
Don't die, he thought, don't die.
Lisa was lying in the bed, awake but dazed. "My head hurts," she said,
"My head hurts." There was blood on her pillow. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
