Chapter 6

“Thick as Thieves”

Max opened his eyes, the pain of the light sending the nausea resurging through his body. He clamped them closed again and tried to open more slowly this time working through the pain and the nausea to establish some sense of balance. He glanced at the IV drip in his harm. The nurse was just finishing up replacing the bag with a fresh one.

The doctor had told him that he was insanely lucky; he found large amounts of a poison called Phylome. It was used mostly as a tranquilizer for large game animals. It had actually started to make the rounds at colleges with a watered down version of it that apparently was supposed to be better than bath salts. It was the new “it” drug.

Max had never even experimented with drugs before in his entire life. With his health issues from an early age he had learned how fragile the human body was and that if it was feeling well you didn’t mess with it to make it feel even better. How the hell had this happened? Max had asked himself that question repeatedly, but he already knew the answer. The killer had broken into his house and tampered with the insulin, putting this drug in his system.

The doctor told him that what he took was a very diluted dose, but it was a lot of it. So it was clear that the killer was not trying to kill him. Or maybe he just wanted Max to get as close to the brink of death as was absolutely possible and then come back.

But why? What was the point in toying with him? Why didn’t he just kill him? Like he did with Lori and Joanie? It just didn’t make sense. Maybe it wasn’t supposed to. He’d been thinking about what Gellar told hm. She said that the killer was using the other murders just to torture him and Jay. They were the filmmakers and he was holding them responsible for the offense.

But what offense? It had to be more than just some asshole who didn’t like a movie. But what? What did they do with this film that set this freak off?

Max wasn’t sure how much longer he could take it. The fear and the paranoia. He didn’t know who to trust. He doubted that anyone was getting back in his house without being patted down by the cops outside; the killer had obviously messed with his insulin before the cops were there. He had to believe that, anyway. There was no way that he was able to believe that this psycho had made it past those cops. Because if he did then he could do it again.

That was the most frightening thing of all. What if that did happen? What if he was not safe anywhere? What the hell was he going to do?

“Hey, look who’s awake,” the voice said from the other end of the room.

Max jerked his head upwards causing the nausea to hit him with the blast of an atomic bomb.
