After dinner, Hacksaw saw the blond woman dart through the swinging door that led to the kitchen. She had her coat on like she was leaving.

He couldn’t let her get away. The master would not be pleased if he failed to bring the woman back. Alive. He had to remind himself of that part so he didn’t accidentally mess up and kill her, no matter how much easier it would be.

He didn’t dare follow her out the back way for fear of being noticed. Instead he hurried through the growing crowd of stinking men, out the front, and ran around the side of the building to intercept her.

She moved between buildings fast, huddled against the cold. She had a bag slung over her shoulder, which meant he had to be cautious of weapons. She didn’t look to be the sort to shoot him, but anything was possible.

The switchblade in his pocket grew cold, reminding him that it was there, waiting to be used. It had been a long time since he’d killed a woman, but he could still remember how easily the knife slid into her soft skin. And that look of fear on her face had been better than any drug he’d ever used.

It wasn’t as good as a word of praise from the master, but it was close.

The woman turned a corner, disappearing from sight. Hacksaw hurried to catch up to her, unwilling to lose sight of her for even a minute.

She was behind buildings now—out of sight of the street and passing cars. It wasn’t dark yet, but that was too bad. He’d have to risk attacking her in what was left of the daylight. No one was out in this cold, anyway. All he had to do was knock her out, tie her up, and drive his car back here and dump her in it. He’d be back to the master in time for him to wake and see the gift Hacksaw had brought him.

The rest of the night he’d spend basking in the master’s praise.

A shiver of anticipation raced down his spine. He couldn’t make that happen fast enough. He had to act. Now. Get the woman and get his reward.

He was only a few yards behind her now. As quietly as he could, he broke into a run.

She glanced over her shoulder. Saw him. Her eyes widened with fear and she froze for a second before she sprinted away.

Hacksaw followed at a dead run.

Cold air sawed in and out of his lungs, but did nothing to cool his blood. He loved the chase. He was going to love catching her even more.

She was fast, but he was gaining on her. He’d have her before she cleared the next corner.
