Twenty-Seven

The two men manhandled Kate along the hallway and opened a door to the right, pushing her in to a large lounge area. The room comprised of expensive looking oak furniture and a leather three piece suite, the cream sofa and chairs positioned in the shape of a crescent moon. Her body stiffened when she noticed a black crucifix painted on the hardwood flooring in front of the sofa, the surrounding area marked by an array of unusual squiggles and images daubed on the floor in black paint.

“What is this?” Kate asked.

“It’s a better choice for the service than the kitchen. That’s what it is,” Gonzo leered. “There will be more room to do our stuff.”

“‘Do your stuff?’ And what are those images on the floor?”

“It’s Enochian writing,” Gonzo said proudly. “I painted those symbols on the floor.” He pointed a finger towards the heavens. “He allowed His servitors to express themselves through me.”

Kate’s eyes narrowed. “What are you talking about?”

King Mod smiled. “It is the language used by the High Father’s angels.”

Kate frowned, but she closed her eyes and said nothing more. The squiggles looked like something a three-year-old might have drawn, and yet this scruffy clown thought his hand was being guided by some higher power. These people were delusional. More importantly, her family was in serious trouble. And she had no idea how to extricate them from the situation.

They guided her through the lounge then through another door that led into a narrow side corridor. They passed a downstairs bathroom and continued on until they reached a modest sized office situated towards the back of the house. The study was the smallest room in the property, measuring no more than ten-feet-by-twelve, and the moment Gonzo closed the door behind them the room flooded with the stink of body odour.

“I’m feeling a little dizzy,” Kate said, addressing herself to King Mod. “Do you think we might open a window?”

Her eyes turned towards the sash window, and the wintry expanse of garden beyond. In her mind she punched Gonzo in the nuts then made a dash for freedom, sliding up the window’s movable panel before King Mod even had a chance to realise what was happening, the Sire watching helplessly as she threw herself out the open window and escaped into the night.

She did nothing, other than cross her arms over her chest and shake uncontrollably.

“I don’t think we need a window opening,” King Mod said. “You’re shaking now. I can see you’re cold, and there’s nothing but wind and rain out there.”

“I’m shaking because I’m scared,” Kate admitted. “But I’m also warm to the point of passing out. We can’t talk if I’m passed out.”

“Talk?” King Mod said.

“About Sam. About our daughter.”

He smiled unpleasantly. “Oh, I’ll get to the bottom of that without any help from you.”

“Then, what are we –”

“Doing in here? I’ve been telling Gonzo about your impressive nipples. Look, they even show through that fancy dress you’re wearing.”

Kate folded her arms more tightly over her chest, suddenly regretting how well the off-the-shoulder outfit showed off her svelte figure.
