A Very Scary Man

For a long time after his little playmates escaped, Malice had to lie low and be very careful. The search for the two children was still going strong, so the fun and games inside the cellar with new kids ground to a halt. He had been forced to kill his true love’s little girl, even though he hadn’t really wanted to, so he didn’t have to worry about her bringing the law down on him anymore.

Unfortunately, and despite the fact that he’d tracked down the boy out in the swamp and practically beaten him to death and dumped him in the sluggish water for the gators, the kid had survived, thanks to some duck hunters who’d happened by and found him muddy and bleeding where he’d somehow crawled out and collapsed on the bank. That pretty much scared the hell out of Malice. As it turned out, however, the boy’s head injuries had affected his memory, and he couldn’t identify his kidnapper or lead the cops back to the house, so all was well. Finally, after months and months, the notorious case faded unsolved and forgotten and went cold. He felt safe to strike again.

He did manage to obtain a couple of sanctioned hits when his assassin friend was tied up with his own out-of-town kills. One assignment he got was in Muncie, Indiana, where he just ran a guy off a deserted road and then shot him in the head and chest while he was slumped unconscious in the front seat of his truck. Then he doused the body and vehicle in gasoline and burned it unrecognizable. Malice got paid some big bucks for that one.

The other hit was down in south Florida around Naples, where he just shot the guy point blank right in his own backyard when the man went outside before bed to have a smoke. Both murders were quick and simple, which really wasn’t Malice’s style, but he guessed he couldn’t have everything he wanted all the time.

So, the years passed, with a steady stream of hit jobs assigned to him. The payments were large. It was a lucrative profession indeed, and gave him the ability to buy anything he wanted. Then, one day he got an assignment in his home state. After he murdered the parents in their bed with his silenced .45, he found two ten-year-old girls sleeping just down the hall, all alone and defenseless and ripe for the picking. He just couldn’t help himself. He really, really wanted them so he woke them roughly at gunpoint, and the two girls were so scared that they just fell on their knees at the side of the bed and waited, trembling and shaking and praying. He tied them up and taped their mouths and told them he would kill them if they made a single peep but would let them go if they cooperated and did exactly what he said.

That was a lie, of course. He had no intention of letting them go.
