Robert is hardworking man with a good enough life; a steady job, sufficient money in his pockets and a beautiful soon-to-be wife that he loves.
But at the altar of his wedding, he makes the worst mistake of his life and cancels the ceremony in a brief moment of indecision and doubt of his love.
And a while later, the newspapers reveal that his ex-fiance has committed suicide as a result of his jilting. He is racked with shame, guilt and regret and, after mourning for her death and internally torturing himself for his rash actions, he decides to try to forget her and all that has happened.
But the haunting memories of Lizzie Beth refuse to leave his mind
and the meaning of the phrase "Give and Take" makes itself known...

The Gentleman Killer
INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...Complete
