Chapter 23

WILLIAM POST

The Catman had a secret. While the guards and Norman Bucklew fussed about Brittany Monet, William Post had quietly been having an affair with a part-time employee at the Hot House. Now she was getting ready to quit her job and move from Leavenworth, and Post had a favor to ask. He wanted his clandestine lover to bring him a gun.

Post had seduced her nearly two months earlier. They had met when he gave her one of his kittens. The Catman was always looking for good homes for them, and when he heard that there was a prison employee who didn’t have a pet, he went directly to her office with the most adorable kitten of the litter. Neither the guards nor the woman’s coworkers were suspicious when he did this. Nor did anyone become alarmed when Post started stopping by her desk regularly to ask how the kitten was doing. It was during these conversations that Post and the woman developed a friendship that led to something more.

Later, when he recalled the romance, Post said he had felt confident that the woman would bring him a gun on her last day at work. By that time, they had talked about it several times and Post had assured her that he didn’t want the pistol in order to hurt anyone. He intended to turn the gun over to the lieutenant’s office and claim he found it hidden in the prison yard. The parole board had rejected his appeal because, in the words of its letter, his institutional achievements were not “deemed sufficient to warrant a more lenient decision.” But if the board heard that he had turned in a handgun, Post figured it would have no choice but to grant him an early release. At least, that is what he told the woman. She promised to consider his request but acknowledged she was afraid; if caught, she could be sent to prison. It was her choice, he assured her. He would simply wait until her last day at work to learn whether or not she loved him enough to bring him a gun.
