MR. BLEAK CHECKED THE scald marks around his eyes in the car’s rear-view mirror. When Southgate lit the alcohol, the sunglasses had saved his eyes, but he looked like a hobo caught in the rain. Both cat-bitten hands sustained burns when his gloves caught fire, and his watch cap melted against his head. He’d peeled them away, taking flesh along with the fabric. Scooping and applying snow stopped the pain temporarily, but he worried the damage might be permanent when the flesh remained numb. He had taken a few moments to head back inside and turn on the gas fireplace to ensure all traces of his presence, and the blasted cat, were erased.

After changing clothes and donning a fresh paper cap that hid the worst of his injuries, nobody would question his presence. Never before in his long professional career had so many things gone awry. He took pride in providing the best cleanup service for his extraordinary clients. They rewarded him with generous paydays, and the leeway to improvise when needed. As a professional, he didn’t know or care about his targets. Nothing personal.

Until now.

He hung a disabled card on the car mirror and parked in the closest spot to be ready for a quick departure. Once he adjusted the surgical mask over his face, Mr. Bleak climbed out and jogged into the hospital. Nobody gave his scrubs a second look. His detached attitude appeared focused on vital medical questions.

The girl witness saw his face, knew who he was, and too much more besides. He couldn’t believe she’d survived the car crash when he got the call to finish her. He’d correct that situation first, then address his unfinished business with September Day.
