I wash my face in a stream, but my clothes are a mess. Einstein insists we find a fresh change and get the hell away from the body, but I demand my time with Audrey.

“You want to get caught? A patrol car comes by and that’s it!”

“A deal’s a deal. It’s dreamtime remember? How long am I out? An hour? Maybe two?”

“Just drive somewhere else first,” Einstein appeals. “At least away from the body.”

I start the car and drive deeper into the reserve. I turn off one trail and onto another until we are nestled in a tight spot between an overgrowth of lush brush and thick trees. “Happy?”

Einstein doesn’t answer. He starts working at my brain and the dark begins to cloud the edges of my eyes.

“Hold it!” I shout, and the black halts. “Specifics, remember?”

“Be quick about it.” Einstein is giving me attitude. When he asked me to drive away from the body he probably meant out of the nature reserve completely, but I wasn’t going to bother searching the city for another secluded alcove. That would take way too long and I need my wife now. Killing isn’t the easiest thing on my psyche. A little balance is necessary or I’m likely to lose it and then what good would I be to the cause?

“Can you give me time with my family?” I ask. “Audrey and the kids?”

“I can try.”

The black pushes again. “Wait!”

“What now?”

“Not now. I mean, I want to spend time with the little ones, but next time. This time I want Audrey, and I want...” I am thinking about a specific night a week before our sixth anniversary. We couldn’t get a sitter on our actual anniversary so we went out the weekend before and we had... I am a little too embarrassed to discuss the details, but it was an incredibly sexy night. And I need an incredibly sexy night to wash Angry from my brain.

Fortunately, Einstein is me and I am Einstein, so he understands exactly what I am referring to. The black washes over and memory swallows me down.
