Chapter 15

I watched from the darkened shadows as Charlotte and Jessica cleaned the bar; they’d told Johnny to go home for the night. She had no idea I was watching her every move, listening to every word she spoke. Charlotte had a lesson to learn, one she hadn’t learned the first time.

The women had decided to throw back shots of tequila after closing the bar and dimming the lights. Charlotte’s face, although scarred, was still beautiful, but she needed to know what happened when she defied the Harbinger of Death.

I waited patiently, observing, biding my time. Shot after shot consumed, I listened to incessant laughter as it grated against my nerves. Charlotte had never been one who could hold her liquor, and it didn’t take long before her head began to nod forward.

Jessica continued nudging her, insisting she drink one more shot, and Charlotte fell for the woman’s tricks each time. This Jessica, she had a story, one that only few people knew of. But I did. I always knew.

Again, I waited.

Charlotte propped her head on the bar, and I could hear her soft snoring. She had passed out from the tequila. I could see Jessica grabbing something from her purse, and then she headed toward the ladies’ room, leaving Charlotte all alone.

When the bathroom door closed, I ensured Charlotte was out cold. Keeping to the shadows, I slowly opened the door just enough to where I could go in unnoticed.

Jessica was snorting a line of coke from the counter. Silently, I pulled the ligature wire from my jacket and stepped behind her, wrapping it tightly around her neck. She jerked, surprised, but unable to remove the wire, and clumsily pulled at her throat.

I yanked harder, dragging her to the filthy floor. She kicked her legs wildly, but to no avail. I sat on her stomach; her breathing was shallow now.

Her bloodshot blue eyes were wide with fear—I wanted her to fear me. Holding the ligature with my right hand, I reached for the scalpel in my coat pocket with the other. Tonight would be different. She had to pay for Charlotte’s inability to heed the warnings she’d been given.

With my left hand, I made a deep laceration down the left side of her face, ensuring to hold onto the ligature, so no sound could escape her filthy mouth. It was open in a silent scream, and although her cries would have given me pleasure, removing her tongue would fill me with excitement, knowing Charlotte would find her dead body.

Strangling Jessica until death met what used to be her drug-induced stare, I released the wire, then pried her mouth open, cutting out her tongue and placing it next to her left ear. I switched the scalpel to my right hand and moved my body until I was sitting on her legs, then sliced her black shirt down the middle.

Her breasts were on full display, and the exhilaration I should have felt was not there. I felt for her uterus, and with precision, carved my diamond-shaped strip of flesh.
