“but no one would come out of their apartment doors to help them.  Michael looked back to see that the long black hand reached and grabbed his mother’s hair and drug them all the way back up the stairs into their apartment where he and his mother received the beating of their lives. What seemed like an endless night of destruction to the apartment and beatings to Rachel and Michael, not one person in the apartment building that heard the screams and cries for help would come to help and save them.”
