Chapter Three

The pounding in his head rivaled the world’s largest drum-off competition. No ebb and flow or easing from one section into another with musical continuity, merely a loud constant hammering worthy of a diesel pile driver.

Oozing mud underneath him resembled the impermeable clay of his native Britain. Except blood rather than iron oxides tinted the soil. A glance at his watch advised little time had passed. This two-for-one job has turned into a boorish annoyance. He should be home working in his lab, not lying on the ground gazing at an umbrella of shivering leaves.

Palpating the hairline at his temple revealed a crumbly goo over the injury. Blood and dirt. With greater care, he feathered his touch over the wounds on his head and found the source of the leakage. Each had dried to leave trails of crusted hair over his scalp.

The rain had stopped during his artificial sleep to leave behind a soft breeze creating the background of creaking branches. Various clicking and rustling sounds bore witness to their struggle for position overhead. No telltale scuttle of creature, two-legged or four, urged him to move, leaving him a moment to organize his thoughts.

It offended his masculinity that a slip of a woman he’d already drugged obtained the upper hand. Worse yet, the greater shame lay in him losing control in deciding to kill her. Had he prevailed, he would have strangled her and ruined the plan he’d crafted with painstaking care. The thought of raping her stirred no excitement except to heighten her terror.

Blame for failing to silence the passenger didn’t lie entirely at his feet. It was a circumstance he hadn’t foreseen. The malware installed on Gena’s phone alerted him to her whereabouts and intended rendezvous with the pathologist. Maybe Gena hadn’t needed to call or text the passenger, which meant the two girls were probably close...perhaps dorm mates.

Dealing with Remie is more important. He’d known the pathologist, his ultimate target, was in league with the little thief. Their decade of friendship proved a happy circumstance that furthered his agenda.

Silencing the whore proved fun despite lacking the time to enjoy foreplay. As hard as he worked, it was difficult to find time to stop and enjoy life’s small pleasures. Shock value had prolonged the orgasmic bliss.

Since the passenger escaped, plan B went into effect. He always had a plan B. It would be inconvenient to track her down, but necessary in the long run. With a little extra time, he could enhance and complicate the game already begun.

The night’s sideways progress necessitated a reevaluation of the doctor’s known associates, for which he couldn’t spare the time. It would also mean disposing of another body if he needed to hire outside help, someone who wouldn’t stand out in a crowd but young and lacking ethics. Someone he could manipulate.

Further internal debate led to another possibility he’d yet to explore. Tedious work should occupy the mass of uneducated and unmotivated peons who understood their station in life. The downside of hiring pawns incurred the liability of them not keeping a confidence.
