Chapter Twenty-Four

If we weren't literally in a life or death situation, finally coming face to face with Lars Eichmann would have been hilarious. It had nothing to do with his poor attempt at humor, or the shit eating grin that he graced us all with.

It was the fact that he was a caricature of every villain from every crime movie I'd seen.

It was more than his physical presence; the way he took up the entire doorway with his body, equal measures of muscle and hard living. His suit was a little too respectable, like a man who spent a lot of years being disrespected and was making up for it by going above and beyond. Two piece suits were too casual for Eichmann, complete with glittering gold buttons and a pocket watch that was clearly for show because who used pocket watches these days?

Like the rest of his crew, Eichmann kept his hair buzzed short, but his hairdo was probably meant to camouflage his receding hairline. Still, most of my evaluation was superficial. White noise. He earned the title of 'bad guy' because when I looked into his eyes, I saw nothing. No compassion. No humanity. No conscience. The emerald green was the dull color of money and excess. I'd done some research and I knew he was in his early 50’s, but the lines that weaved through his face put an extra ten years on him. Enough time that he should have known better, should have learned that eventually, the villain always gets their due, but his self righteous smirk told me that the only thing that would put an end to his criminal career was death or life in prison. As he leaned against the door jam, grinning at the fact that his daughter had a switchblade against someone's threat, I couldn't decide which I preferred.

"Alicia Whitmore," he leered at my mother-in-law like she was a piece of meat, undressing her with his dull green eyes, lingering on her breasts. "It is such a pleasure to finally meet you in the flesh."

Correction: I knew exactly which I preferred.

"You son of a BITCH!" Jacob roared, hurling a chair out of the way, the table likely the next obstacle he'd discard to get to the man who'd been stalking us. Plotting the revenge that brought us to this moment.

I watched the scene unfold in slow motion, my gut churning with dread because I remembered this out of body experience. Back in the room, I'd been so petrified by the thought of that knife. At someone being hurt because of me. Now, I couldn't find my voice. I couldn't breathe because I saw this going horribly wrong. Jacob was on the warpath, blinded by rage. Practically around the table with his fingers around Eichmann’s throat. Dealing out justice. Wiping him from the face of the earth. In the heat of the moment, I couldn't say the words that would stop him. I just wanted that sneering face of Eichmann's to go away, before he hurt anyone else.
