Camera 12

Delores is riding the main elevator past the eighteenth floor. Her feet shift; she hums. She’s anxious to get back to cleaning the ballroom’s windows. She finds childish delight in using her long-­handled squeegee. The ballroom fills her view right as Justin picks up the vase and throws it with all his strength straight at Jules’s head. Delores closes her eyes and plugs her ears and sings “My Country ’Tis of Thee” twice before she looks again, listens again, breathing through her nose to will herself calm.

Camera 5

The Killer is in Franklin’s office. He swivels on the office chair, enjoying the break from his duties as well as the three-­thousand-­dollar “seating experience” Franklin insisted upon to counteract an acute case of sciatica. He opens desk drawers idly, hoots when he finds the scotch, pours a glass, and toasts the security camera to provoke the Thinker’s envy, but the Thinker’s occupied with his cards. The Killer stands and takes his drink into the secret elevator. Vivica’s eyes are milky and opaque.

Camera 33

Jules drops a salad plate. She yowls, “Cock-­sucking slut-­fuck retard—” et cetera at Justin, seeming, in that second, to truly believe the broken dish is his fault. Justin takes this for about twenty seconds; then he picks up a Swarovski vase centerpiece, slings his arm back, and throws it with all his strength straight at Jules’s head. She ducks. The vase shatters onto the table behind her. The petals and bits of crystal look like purposeful décor. Jules and Justin stare at each other, their jaws agape.
