SALE OF THE DAY

25

Colorado

On pick-up and delivery days like this, Butterfly often thought she could smell the flames of her home as it burned and her family lay dying. Of course, she couldn’t really be sure of what she remembered. She had only been a few years old at the time. Most of what she knew about the horror had been told to her.

Yet none of that knowledge changed the smoldering scent of death that seemed to penetrate her consciousness.

Now, in the cabin, she put the new target on the bed and firmly fastened the restraints.

Butterfly felt nothing inside. Her mind moved in jagged bursts, jerking from one task to the next while her body moved with an unnatural grace. She had always been like this. After her family had died, she had been sent to a home with other children like her.

It was where she had met the only person in the world she loved. He had helped her when no one else could, or would.

For as long as she could remember, she had always been the fastest on the playground and not just among the girls. She could outrun, out jump, and later, out punch any boy she met. Because there had been fights. Violence had proven to be something that she felt comfortable with. It wasn’t long before she sought it out with increasing frequency.

They had all feared her. Everyone at the orphanage. The students. And the adults.

But that was all in the past, something she rarely thought about. Only on delivery days.

Now, she knew what she had to do. The lingering scents of death and darkness were always pushed away by his familiar words, the image of his face and the subconscious emotion that he was her only tenuous connection to life itself.

Butterfly shut and locked the cabin and crossed the small compound to the other cabin.

When she opened the door, her eyes took in the carnage before her. She had seen worse.

She bundled the body in a specially made body bag, put it on an ambulance stretcher, and wheeled it out to the truck. She went to the caretaker’s cottage, and brought in the cleaning supplies, disinfectant, and bleach.

It took her several hours to restore the cabin to its original state.

When she was finished, Butterfly put the cleaning supplies back in the caretaker’s cottage, and then she performed the most important task of the day.

She checked the cabin’s hidden cameras via the video control center just off the main room of the caretaker’s cottage.

Butterfly sped through the actual footage, not wanting to watch any of it, and when it reached the end, she saved the file to the computer’s hard drive, made a copy, and forwarded it to The Owner.

Almost immediately, her phone rang. And since only one other person possessed the required number, Butterfly knew who it was.

She answered the phone and The Owner gave Butterfly her new set of instructions.
