Langston Graves

The sleek, black, darkly-tinted SUV pulled up outside an unassuming duplex that stood across the street from a park.

With the sun just set, Jamesburg was bathed in a slightly unnerving, purple-orange that only happens when winter is waning and spring is on the wind. Rain clouds puffed up along the horizon and when Langston Graves looked out the side window of his car, he felt almost like the electricity in the clouds was gathering in his veins as well as the sky.

“Here is fine,” he said to a gray faced man who sat in front of him, driving the car. The gray faced man wore a charcoal suit, and had his hair slicked back. Dark, aviator sunglasses completed the look, and he wore them all the time, even when he was indoors, in the dark.

Behind the sunglasses were yellowish-red irises, and behind those yellow-red irises was absolutely nothing.

Graves reached up and patted his mechanical servant on the shoulder, smiling at his own achievement more than anything.

What he lacked in magical ability, or in raw power, Graves more than made up for in genius. He spent his days tinkering, fiddling, and creating. This driver, who he called Jeffress, was his crowning achievement. He wasn’t a robot, and wasn’t exactly an android, but what he was was something perfectly in between.

Jeffress took commands, he followed them, and he was able to drive. Oh, and he never interrupted Dr. Graves’s longwinded lectures on Mesopotamian occultism, which made him just about the best companion Graves could ever hope to have.

Except the book.

Where are you? Graves thought. He looked back over his shoulder, half expecting to see that damn book flapping behind him, pulling strings in his mind, making him do things he didn’t want to do.

Well, he thought, it isn’t exactly like I don’t want to do them at all. It’s more like he makes me do things for a slightly different purpose. But knowing that, means that I can win. Knowing he’s trying to trick me at every turn means I can use that against him.

“Thanks Jeffress,” Graves said, patting his metal driver on the shoulder. “You... wait here.”

Jeffress stared straight ahead, and Graves smiled at him, very happy with his clever joke. He pulled out a large, tied-together packet of papers and shuffled through them. “Schwarz,” he said. “Mitzi Schwarz. Eight-six-two Roanoke. I think I’m going to enjoy this.”

He also grabbed a doubled-over essay, which he had stuck in his jacket pocket. He was dressed in hound’s-tooth tweed, because that’s what people expect from a professor, and after all, the things that are expected almost never raise questions.

Graves checked his watch, which had been stuck on seven-sixteen for the last three years. He couldn’t remember why, but that’s where it had always been. Then he looked at the watch on his other wrist and saw that it was just about time. From what he understood, his next mark was going to be home in about eight minutes.

She was going to pull
