It was impossible to control his breathing. Oxygen flooded his brain, and he began to lose his balance, sticking out a hand to grasp a pillar in the underground garage of the upscale condos. Leaning over, he wished for a paper bag to put over his mouth.

“You all right, dude?”

The voice startled him. Opening his eyes, he could see the man’s shoes. They were wingtips, newly shined. “I’m okay, just a little dizzy spell with this weather change.”

“You need for me to call someone for you?”

Raising his head a little more, he saw flat-front slacks with a starched shirt and cufflinks.

“No, man. I’ll be fine in just a minute.”

“I can get you some water; it’s no big deal.”

“I said I’m fine.” His voice echoed throughout the garage.

“Whoa…whatever.” The Good Samaritan walked off, but the man didn’t fully raise his head until he heard the ding of the elevator and then the doors shutting.

“Asshole,” he muttered with both hands covering his face. In reality, he was too worked up to deal with anyone. Ever since he’d seen that bearded man enter Ivy’s apartment last night, he couldn’t contain his anxiety. His heart had been beating out of his chest, his blood pressure was probably through the roof, and after he’d followed the bearded man from Ivy’s place and into this garage, his breathing had gone haywire.

He wanted to kill that sonofabitch in the worst way.

Hands on his knees, he noticed a plastic bag behind the pillar. He grabbed it and quickly placed it over his mouth and began to breathe. Focus on the process, he told himself. The bearded man would eventually leave, and then he’d have his opportunity to finish the score. Only to let Ivy Nash know she wasn’t allowed to feel happiness or elation, or even a moment of serenity. Not until he had executed every facet of his plan. And at that point, she would no longer be amongst the living. She would be sliced and diced into a million pieces, mentally and physically.

The elevator doors dinged open. Out walked a couple, arm in arm. At first, he felt conspicuous, but then realized they probably couldn’t see him. Wearing his gray work clothes, he kneeled behind a car against the wall. As they walked past the pillar, he recognized that was the bearded man from Ivy’s apartment. It took every ounce of self-discipline to not jump out and pummel him and the woman both, right there in the middle of the garage.

“Thank you for a lovely time, Jake,” the woman said.

He was confused. Jake was with Ivy not even an hour ago. Now he was with this redhead who looked to be at least ten years older.

He watched as Jake took her head in both hands and kissed her on the lips. It lingered an extra moment, as if there were some emotion tied to it.

“You are such a charmer,” she said.

“I’ll be whatever you want me to be,” he said with a cheesy wink.

She popped him on his ass.
