HALF AN HOUR PASSED. Kittredge finally rose from the gore. Rational thought slowly returned. This is a bad situation, he opined unnecessarily to himself.

One or two stabs. That would have been self-defense. Maybe three or four. But what he had done… that was something else entirely. My God, he had stabbed the living hell out of the guy. Two dozen times. Maybe three. He obviously hadn’t counted, because some animal had gotten loose, something had come unhinged deep inside of him, and he just went batshit crazy.

Would Strauss believe his self-defense claim?

Did he believe it was self-defense?

Would a jury? On top of Sergio’s bashed-in skull? Would it come to that? They could put you away forever, he thought.

And what a mess. He’d heard people talk about how much blood the body held, but until it was spread all over a kitchen floor, until you couldn’t walk anywhere without stepping in a puddle an eighth of an inch deep, you really couldn’t appreciate how much blood there was.

Get your shit together, he admonished himself. Be smart about this. He searched the guy’s pockets. Aside from a single key, there was absolutely nothing on him. No wallet, no cash, no phone, no receipts. And no weapon.

Oh, shit, there’s no weapon. Self-defense? Thirty stabs of a knife to stop an intruder who was wielding… nothing whatsoever? Sure, his neck would attest that he’d been choked. But he could have done that to himself, they might say, to make it look like self-defense.

He looked around. He saw a large bread knife, the kind with serrated edges, perfect for ripping through flesh and cartilage and tendons, lying on the floor in the middle of the man’s blood.

He knew what he had to do.
