CHAPTER 45

UNEXPECTED SURPRISE

Lester had been in the property business almost all his life. It had been a delightful inheritance from his parents after he’d killed them. He’d received their empire when he was eighteen years old – old enough, in the eyes of the law, to manage the properties and oversee them on a day-to-day basis. And, since then, he’d kept the properties ticking by in the background. It was lucrative, and it was money he didn’t have to work hard for. His portfolio consisted of ten houses in the Stratford area that brought in enough capital to fund his camomile lifestyle – eight that the government knew about, registered under his name; two that were off the books, filed under an alias. The reasons for doing so were twofold: it was great for the tax, and it was perfect if he ever needed to escape the mundanity of life. But, in all those years since he’d taken over the business, he’d never experienced something as sudden as this: a tenant wanted to terminate his tenancy with immediate effect, and he wanted Lester to be there to finalise all the paperwork and inspect the property before he left. It was an inconvenience. Not only did it force Lester to spend time away from finding another Jessica – either online or through another pimp – but it also forced him to show his face in public during the day. And that was something he didn’t like to risk.

And there was an additional problem. The Nasties were getting hungry again – he could sense it. Jessica the Prostitute had been a terrible experience. Her attempted escape had ruined it for him. It had thrown him off and put him off from performing at his best. His hand still ached from the multiple stab wounds he’d inflicted on her. He needed to do better next time. It needed to be more controlled, more delicate, and he needed a place to be able to dedicate more time to the Communion. Ever since he started out, he’d always maintained the rule of meeting for a Communion at the other party’s location. The reasons were simple. First, and most importantly, it was for security purposes. He didn’t want anybody finding out his home address and dobbing him in to the police. Second, it was for the extra points it would garner him on the leader board. On the infrequent occasion that he had been forced to do it at his house, he’d been extra careful and gone to great lengths to make sure they didn’t know the exact address: he’d often meet them in a communal place and take them back to his house that way. It wasn’t a watertight way to avoid their knowing his address, but it was better than nothing. And now it was time for a change. The past few Communions had been ruined by the threat of a housemate coming home early or somebody walking past in the middle of nowhere. He needed a place.
