Chapter Thirty

Melinda was unconscious in the van, secured under the hatch in the belly of the vehicle, her hands bound and her mouth gagged. She was adrift in an ocean of liquid morphine dreams. Guillotine had driven her back to the storage garage last night, seeing no point in returning to the farm when his prize- Beth- was here in the city.

Now, he was splashing water on his face at the small sink basin in the corner. He looked at himself in the mirror on the wall and thought about being in the barn as a child. He looked at the original scar, the one he had used with the rusted razor he had found buried in the dirt. The one he had used on Marie and Madeleine. How sweet that moment had been. He snapped back to the present and approached the work table. Melinda’s purse was there. He opened it, took out her cellphone and scrolled through the recent calls, seeing Beth’s name at the top of the list. His own phone began to ring. It was Claude. He set Melinda’s phone back on the work table and walked to the door.

“Yes, Claude?” he snapped, imagining a time very soon when he would not have to take calls or speak to this obscene little man any longer.

“I am at the gallery. Could you come down immediately? I need your assistance.”

“You handle these things, not me.”

“But I cannot do this without you. You want the exhibition to be perfect, yes?”

“Of course, I do. What a stupid question,” Guillotine was losing what little patience he had for the man.

“Then, please, come over. Just a few minutes.”

“Very well,” Guillotine surrendered and kicked the door open, stepping outside and slamming the door closed behind him, hurrying through the cold morning air to be rid of the man as quickly as he could.
