Introduction

The Vindictive Narcissist’s motivation for revenge might be initially fueled by anger, but it is ultimately powered by anticipated satisfaction or enjoyment. A powerful driving force for revenge is the belief that acting out the desire for revenge will provide an emotional release that will make us feel better. A Vindictive Narcissist tends to hold onto grudges, often feel anger or resentment, and find ways to seek revenge against people who they feel hurt or wronged them. They lack empathy for the feelings or needs of others and have a hard time letting go of anger. Getting even is the only way for them to move on in their lives. Covert Narcissists hide behind a mask of modesty in reversion and self-depreciation. They keep track of the people who have harmed them. Getting even with someone releases feel-good chemicals, dopamine, and endogenous opioids. (1)

Chapter 1 – Finding out about Douglas Cotton’s Death

It took only a few days for the word to be circulated through the office at the F.B.I. headquarters that the F.B.I. snipers had killed Douglas Cotton (the American Terrorist).

The report said he was found hiding in a cabin in the mountains about forty miles East of Fresno, California. The Cabin was hidden in the mountains after traveling through miles of winding roads east of Fresno toward the Giant Sequoia Trees. After breaking into it several months earlier, he occupied the cabin alone.

A metal gate had to be opened, and then you drove about a hundred yards down a dirty gravel driveway to get to the cabin. The cabin had a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree panoramic view on the west side, looking down the canyons toward Fresno. On the east side, facing the main road, several tall green pine trees hide the cabin. It was hard to find and see, with no address given its location unless you knew it was there.

Doug was already aware that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies had encircled the cabin before he stepped outside and onto the huge wooden deck surrounding the south and west sides.

The report said that he was killed without putting up a fight. It also said that he appeared to be hiding a weapon or an explosive under his coat and acting as though he was going to use them if he were approached.

To F.B.I. agents Krista and Terry, it seemed as though he chose death by law enforcement rather than surrender and face the outcome of the judicial system and be incarcerated once again.

His good friend Amanda (Mandy) Hastings had already gotten the word about his death before anyone else in the office because fellow agents Krista and Terry knew she was good friends with Doug when he was being held under supervision at the F.B.I. Headquarters.

Because of that special friendship Doug and Mandy had with each other, Krista and Terry wanted her to get the information about his death from them before anyone else in the office found out what happened to him. Krista immediately called the following day after he was killed and told Mandy that the F.B.I. snipers had killed Doug.

A few days later, Krista and Terry were back in Headquarters, and they sat down with Mandy and told her what the conversation was about between them and Doug just before his death. They told her they were trying to get him to surrender, but it became clear that he wasn’t going to as he shouted out to them from the Cabin. He wanted them to continue his efforts to try and rid America of the radical Islamic terrorists who wanted to cause harm to the people of the United States once he was gone.

They knew there was no way they could follow his request, but they promised him they would. Regardless of what they said, it didn’t stop him from his suicide mission.

The snipers had him in their sights and ready to kill him at the slightest move he might make once he was out in the open and they got the signal to kill him. They found out later from the snipers that they had orders to kill Doug at their first chance. He was aware the snipers had a bead on him when he began having the shouting conversation with Krista and Terry. It was then that the snipers fired several shots at him and killed him.

When she first heard of Doug’s death, she was emotionally and physically devastated by the news. She felt that Doug was like a father to her that she never had and losing him brought back all the pent-up feelings she had inside about her brother Brian’s death. He was killed in Afghanistan by radical terrorists only six weeks after being deployed in the country.

That was when she realized Doug’s mission was not over, and someone else had to continue what he started in America. He had eliminated hundreds of terrorists and their cells in the United States, and it had a profound effect on so many Americans because of his love for his grandson.

Within the week after Doug’s death, Mandy received a neatly wrapped six-inch by eight-inch package at her apartment in Alexandria, Virginia. It was postmarked from Fresno, California, so she threw it on her table, hesitant to open it to see what was inside without crying. She knew Doug had died near Fresno, so she knew it was from him. He had already made up his mind that he was tired of the killing and the hiding from law enforcement and knew they would discover where he was hiding soon.

When she opened the package, her eyes stared at the box filled with $100,000.00 cash in hundred-dollar bills. She had huge tears in her eyes, dripping down her cheeks. There was a simple note from Doug: I know you will be able to use this money to help you somehow. Good luck in whatever endeavors you do with the money. Signed: Love you, A.T

She knew he probably could’ve escaped if he had wanted to escape but had lost his desire to continue hiding from law enforcement and grew tired of killing people, even though his revenge for the terrorists haunted him and pushed him up until the day he died.

She and Brian were not only siblings but were also best friends. They relied on each other for support, went everywhere, and did everything together before Brian entered the service. He joined the service mainly to get the GI bill once he was released from active duty, go back to school, and have the government pay for his education. It was the only way he could pay for his college education because he didn’t have family or anyone else to help him.

After Brian’s death, she went on a quest to become an F.B.I. agent, where she could find out everything she could about the radical terrorists and their activity.

Within a few months after applying to become an agent, she was scheduled to report for training. Although she worked for the F.B.I. as an agent, her sole purpose in working for them was to find a way to find out who and where the terrorists were located inside the United States.

She wanted to deter somehow or illuminate the terrorists that were already here in America, posed and ready to strike on command. She believed they were hiding behind their religion to spread hatred about Israel and America to their young followers.

The FBI gave her the perfect opportunity to learn all about the suspected radical terrorists and their cells, as well as Mandy’s duties at the FBI. Headquarters in Washington D.C. was to work in counterterrorism, investigating individuals and sleeper cells.

With her job, she knew where their suspected cells were located, which mosques had radical imam preachers, and different towns where the terrorists congregated in small and large groups in America. It couldn’t have been any better for her, considering her hatred for the radical Islamic terrorists. That was precisely what she was hoping for when she first applied to the F.B.I. program.

Mandy didn’t know what she could do with the knowledge she had acquired about the terrorists and their cells until she met Douglas Cotton (the American Terrorist), who was under house arrest and being kept at the F.B.I. headquarters building.

When she first met Doug, she had blond cropped hair and wore thick dark-rimmed glasses. He thought she looked much like a typical office girl but was in good physical condition because she belonged to a gym, worked out, and ran three miles four nights a week. She was so engulfed in her work and hatred that she didn’t date anyone. She always felt too busy with work and the gym to have a boyfriend.

During their meetings with each other, she and Doug had become entangled in each other’s emotions about losing someone they loved at the hands of the radical Islamic terrorists.

Once they developed their tight friendship, she loved and respected him, especially for living up to his belief in the revenge he wanted to impose on the radical Islamic terrorists. She loved his deep convictions of killing the terrorists because that was exactly how she felt toward them. It was uncanny that she and Doug shared the same hatred for them. Doug loved Mandy like his own daughter and would’ve done anything to protect her, even kill the radical terrorists for her.

Mandy felt as though Doug gave her the perfect opportunity she had longed for since she went to work at the F.B.I. He gave her a possible way to get revenge for her brother’s death against other radical Muslims who felt the same way as the ones who killed Brian. She was obsessed with the imams and their roles at their separate local Mosques, where they preached their dissatisfaction and hatred for America and Israel.

She was convinced it wouldn’t be long before another physical attack would take place in America at the hands of a terrorist sympathizer from someone within those two mosques. She hated that they lived a good life here in America and preached to their followers that America was their enemy. After she and Doug killed Ali Said Midilaki and Abdullah Hassaq, Mandy felt great satisfaction in the two of them planning and killing the two radical preachers.

Now that Doug was dead, she was ridden with pain once again, much like how she felt about losing Brian at the hands of a radical terrorist I.E.D. in Afghanistan. Hearing of Doug's death brought all that pain back to the surface once again.

When she went back to work, she began hearing chatter from the field agents about new terrorist cells and their plots to attack different locations in America. Every day in Washington D.C. alone, they were receiving thousands of terrorist threats, which many law enforcement agencies had to deal with.

Most of the leads were Ghost leads, which meant they were leads that turned out to be false or fake, but they still had to be checked out by a law enforcement agency. It was a never-ending job running down the leads.

Working with the F.B.I., she knew they were trying every day to eliminate the threats of terrorism in the United States. One thing she learned was that domestic radical Islam terrorism is more controllable than foreign terrorism. The F.B.I. had identified and tracked hundreds of suspected terrorists in the United States, and Mandy kept track of all of them. To her dismay, she also found out that forty terrorist organizations supply financial aid to terrorism throughout the world.

The Joint Terrorism Task Forces have disrupted and dismantled a lot of the terrorist activity relating to financial and fundraising activities, but there are still many more out there. Some members of the forty organizations have been questioned, harassed, and detained by authorities, and some individuals have been restricted to air travel.

Some suspected radical terrorists have provided law enforcement with critical information for a lower jail sentence when caught and put behind bars. One individual provided information about al-Qaida and other groups, safehouses, training camps, and recruitment that wanted to harm the United States. One provided information about weapons stored in the United States. Another identified location in the United States is being scouted for potential attacks by terrorists. Even with everything being done, Mandy felt like the worst of the bunch was getting through the cracks of our legal law enforcement system and still committing terror attacks.

Doug thought it was somewhat unique that she had complete hatred for the terrorists, almost as much as he possessed for them. She could never accept his death at the hands of the radical terrorists and their I.E.D. s.

During their time together, Doug worked with her and showed Mandy how to use different methods of killing radical terrorists. He showed her hand-to-hand combat with the assailant trying to cut your throat or stab you. Doug showed her the Potassium Chloride way to inject a terrorist directly into his body with a syringe at close range and kill him. He showed her how to use a sniper rifle with a scope to take out a terrorist from a longer distance away. She already knew how to use a pistol because she had learned that in the F.B.I. school, so Doug didn’t have to show her that.

Reflecting upon Doug’s courage, Mandy knew no other person in America like Doug. She knew that no one else would take the law into their own hands and hunt down the radical terrorists and kill them as he had done. He went to over thirty-five suspected and known radical terrorist cells and blew them up or killed their leaders with his sniper rifle or I.E.D. s that he made in his garage at home.

She also knew there was no nobody from any of the twenty or so law enforcement agencies that would go after the radical terrorists or their cells and try to stop them or illuminate them as Doug had done. It had to be someone who had lost a loved one in Afghanistan or Iraq and couldn’t deal
