1888 turned out to be one of the most horrific years for the city of London due to the infamous, ruthless, and horrifyingly unknown "Jack The Ripper"(Origin from the letters received by the investigating agencies after the 5 killings).
James was far-sighted. Always planned, always organized. Violence was for those helpless people who can't make their way through reasonable talking, he'd say.The jobs were all booked up and even if there were vacancies, "recommendation" is what the interviewers wanted - the only thing they did not have.Thus, he never stop his siblings from stealing rich people's money, although when they took a poor man's stuff he'd beat them a lot. Although he had the rough facial structure of his father, he was a generous guy with a hint of moral which the other kids lacked, A LOT. They (other kids) were badly beaten, for stealing, by the parents,although, the family did use the money.
James wanted to study. He always advocated education against the thoughts of the other family members. Since he was unable to get any kind of books to achieve his goal, he tried making some friends in the nearby area. Luckily, he got a group of students who used to go to schools and had the facility of books and thus, in his eyes, were educated. After that day, most of his day-time, he was engaged with them. Reading Science and Classical relaxed his mind and gave him a feel that he actually achieved something. He wanted to do something big in life. Something which leaves a mark on, not only the city of London, but the entire country of England. He never ever showed up his anger. He kept it inside of him thinking, "wasting energy right now isn't good enough, a deal"
One day, one of his friends, Paul, interested by his urge to gain knowledge called him up at his house and showed him something, that none of his other friends knew about. His fascination with knives. He used to collect all kind of knives, from a barber's knife, to a war-time dagger. After this incident, he (James) got to know how rich, a kid, Paul is. Asking the question of his (Paul's) presence near the place James and others live, I don't like the kids in my neighborhood, is the answer James received. They became very good friends. James asked if he (Paul) can ask his father to pull some strings and get him admission in the school. Paul said "I have no problem with that mate, but I am not sure if my father will be co-operative or not. Still I'll ask him." James thanked him and left.
Next 2-3 days, he asked Paul about the situation regarding the admission thing. It took some time, but eventually Paul succeeded in persuading his father, and James got admission. But he forgot to take one very important factor into consideration, his parents. He didn't know if they will be willing to send him to school, but contrary to all his his thoughts, they agreed upon the subject and thus, James was ready to go to school. All the study work was done in either the school or at Paul's house. Although James was perplexed to see that Paul didn't have a lot of friends, he never let that come up. He did not want to screw up things with someone like Paul, who was both, a great friend and a superb asset. He did his studies and, after a few months, became as fascinated with knives as Paul was. He also learned using knife as a weapon and fencing. Although he did not have a very strong body, his skills with knives and swords made him (and Paul) feel secure. He did not make many friends at school. Only two more were added to their clan - Peter and Jack.
Peter was also a son of a rich person. He was new in town and wanted to make new friends. He tried hanging out with a group in their class but the trial was not successful. Then while walking down the streets one night, he had a little situation. He had lost his way back home and it was night. There was almost no one on the streets but a few dogs in a far off corner. He tried to figure out his position but failed and after 30 minutes, got a little scared. After a while, a silhouette came into the picture. It was James who usually got out of his bed to get some air after all the family members were asleep. Peter, initially scared of the structure, realized that he had seen that person in his school. Approaching James, Peter asked him about it and all his doubts were clarified. James showed him his(Peter's) way back home and they became friends. James introduced Peter to Paul and the three became good friends there after. And, although James and Paul weren't as much the socialists, Peter liked making friends.
Jack was a new student in the school; took admission in the next year. He was also a quiet person but a highly gifted violinist. He was also a fencer. Not much was known about his family, only that they were middle class people with a decent job. Being the only child of the family and not good at making friends, Jack was a bit of a loner. The whole class was surprised to see someone of their age with such high caliber. He was not very happy with his life but had learnt to cope up with it by trying to ignore his parent's daily fights and reading books and playing violin to fill in the emptiness of friends. He had violence all around him - previous school, home, neighbors. He was a great fan of Paganini and Bach. He grew up listening to their symphonies. Peter and Jack knew each other from past. Jack's parents were, once, tenants of Peter's parents. They did share some interests, not much. They used to talk a bit daily, almost ritualistically.Thus, when Peter saw Jack in the class, he was very excited to meet him again. He convinced Paul and James to add one more to their clan but Jack wasn't sure if it was a good idea. Although reluctant at first, Jack inferred that at least he will have some people to call friends.
It can be safely assumed that Paul's fascination of knives was the highlight of the group. They even named themselves The Stabbers, just for fun. First James, then Peter, and now Jack. Paul transferred enthrallment to all three of them. They used to practice the use of knife at Paul's. Jack got another way of taking out his frustrations - knife. They became very good friends. Everything was going great until the graduation day. They were all around 20-25 years old now. Jack was last seen by his mates at the school ceremony. The knives from Paul's house were all gone. These were enough signs for the 3 to safely assume that something very very dangerous was about to happen.
And thus started the killings, 5 women dead, lying in different corners of Whitechapel district. 5 of them were brutally stabbed with perforated vagina. They were prostitutes of London's classiest prostitute joint. Nobody knew who did it but for James, Paul and Peter, the image of those dead bodies were enough to determine who did that. It was a typical Jack stab, deep at the bottom and shallow at the top. They searched all the possible places but Jack was found nowhere.
**************************************************************
In the beginning Jack used to ignore all the fights his parents had, but as the level of violence increased he started paying more and more attention and in the year 1988, he found out that his mother was a prostitute. He always hated his mother and now he got to know that she has had sex with over a hundred men. It filled him with rage. She always used to beat him as a child for all the noise (violin) he made. She never gave him time and all this was coming out that year. And after making himself familiar with all the weapons he wanted, his was like a free bull in a ground full of red cloth. He kept himself composed and at the opportune moment, stabbed his mother and 4 other women (her friends at her work place) and vanished. Nobody knows where he is, where he was, why he did what he did, but all this doesn't matter to most of the population of the world. From the start, from his childhood, he was a serial killer in the making and after getting the weapon with its perfect knowledge from Paul and having all the motive in the world he wanted, the fury of Jack was to be stopped by none.
He never ever sent any letters to the government regarding these killings and it was almost an amusement for him to see hundreds of letters reaching the police and the police actually considering them as "the letters from Jack The Ripper."

Jack The Ripper - Case Closed
The Masons were very poor people. Father was a Stoneworker and earned very low. The life was terrible. The children were brought up in a not-so-hygienic manner. From the start they were taught that you have to fight your way to the top. The fights among the parents and what they actually preached made the kids realize that even their parents don't follow those things, so why should we? This made them take decisions on their decisions at a very early age. Due to the lack of money at house, they used to rob, steal people's money on the streets. Except for one, James.James was far-sighted. Always planned, always organized. Violence was for those helpless people who can't make their way through reasonable talking, he'd say.The jobs were all booked up and even if there were vacancies, "recommendation" is what the interviewers wanted - the only thing they did not have.Thus, he never stop his siblings from stealing rich people's money, although when they took a poor man's stuff he'd beat them a lot.
