Our friend Carlton didn’t appear that night, but he did appear the following night. What I took from this was that it had something to do with when he was put in the ground, disposed of, or however you want to phrase it. If it happened before midnight, he’d be back by the morning of the next day; after midnight, and it would be sometime the following day. To be fair, hindsight may be at work here, as we were given ample opportunity to test the theory.

Over the next week, Stanhope and I tried dismembering Carlton a second time and burying the body parts in different spots; burning him in a crematorium oven; tying weights to him and dropping him in the water from the Hudson River Palisades; putting him, limb by limb, through an industrial meat grinder; sticking him in a car crusher; and interring him deep in wet concrete before watching from an Airbnb as the construction workers arrived and started work above him. On that last occasion, Stanhope remained at the Airbnb while I returned to the house to check the kitchen and call Stanhope after.

“He’s here,” I told Stanhope, who was so annoyed that he left a bad rating for the Airbnb owners, even though the place was perfectly nice.
