CHAPTER NINETEEN

* * *

DESTRUCTION, TERROR, AND MAYHEM

Gwendolyn and I have a beautiful relationship. She tells me everything. And I haven’t killed her yet.

We spend our free time alone in the Wolves’ Den. All of Gwendolyn’s old friends have been banished from the tower. The lesser Wolves keep a wary distance from both of us. It was number 11 who discovered Ivan’s severed head in the lounge. Gwendolyn had positioned it on one of the coffee tables so that Ivan’s glassy, lifeless eyes would greet the first person who came through the door. I’m sure she hoped it would be me.

Only Gwendolyn and Mandel know what she did with the rest of Ivan. But I’ve heard that the landing outside the lounge was flooded with gore. It flowed down the staircase and seeped under the door at the bottom. They cleaned it up before the Androids got spooked, but if you look closely, you can still see traces of blood between the floorboards.

I only had one question for the killer. “Did you bite him?” I asked.

Gwendolyn rolled her eyes. “I’ve grown up,” she sneered.

Either that, or she’s been well trained. Her self-restraint seems quite impressive these days. Without it, I might not be able to keep my crazy little princess trapped in our tower. And there’s no doubt about it anymore—Gwendolyn is officially deranged. The first thing I did after I heard about Ivan was head straight up to the lounge. The head was gone, but the Mac PowerBook 100 manual was still there. I took out the Hare Psychopathy Checklist and gave Gwendolyn the test. She got a 36 out of 40—a score that would make any successful serial killer proud.
