Three dozen Sisters fill Vici's flat, Romy among them, Karl's glad to see. At the door, a servant meets him, leads him to his room, past more beautiful women than he's seen in his life, him splattered in egg, pants soaked from the bottom of the taxi.

Head down, he follows, noticing Romy casts him an evil look. He guesses he deserves it. He is crass. He is a killer. About both she's right, so where's his gripe?

Among them he spots Willy, serenely oblivious, Bink asleep in the crook of an arm. Karl feels a prick of jealously. Little traitor.

As he shuts the door behind him, Karl feels nothing but relief. The room's okay, small but not cramped, with its own shower and toilet. Peeling away the dressings from over his eye, lip, the back of his head, he douses them with peroxide, enduring the itching sting as it penetrates, sterilizing the wounds. Showered, confident he can do no more, he curls up on the bed.

Aching all over, tired as he can remember being, Karl sincerely hopes that Vici is right about his arrangements insuring his own safety. If he is, maybe he can keep Genie off his neck long enough for him to get off this stilted hell.

Gun in hand, he casts himself into a surf of troubled sleep.
