CHAPTER TWELVE

The next night at Cirque Du Soleil with Eva, all Tyr could think about was killing her and burning her in the incinerator. At five feet six inches, she would fit easily into the steel drum, especially with all the weight she’d lost from the illness. If there was one thing cancer was good for, it was helping a person fit into tight spaces.

Eva was enjoying herself, totally oblivious to the vile thoughts brewing in the perverse mind of her lover. There was a smile on her face and a warm feeling in her heart. She generally kept away from the bigger parts of the city, but this was a show a part of her had always been a little curious about and since she had been feeling particularly well tonight, Tyr had wanted to see to it she saw the show before her health declined further and she couldn’t go out. What a sweet man he was.

He’d have to kill her right away, he thought. If the Butcher was going around talking about him, The Chosen could arrive at any moment. He’d have to kill Eva tonight. And afterward he might have to leave town. He couldn’t be sure who among Eva’s acquaintances might have at least a basic idea of where he lived. If she suddenly stopped existing with no death certificate or hospital visit, somebody might try to contact Tyr. It would be safest to pack up and leave.

Kill her tonight, then pack up and leave tomorrow.

The men and women of the “Circus of the Sun” were doing their thing, engaging in bizarre acrobatics and bending their freakish bodies in ways a human usually only bent when being jammed into an incinerator. Before you doused them in gasoline and fired up the air compressor. Before you superheated them to 1,500 degrees and relegated them to water vapor. Before you struck them from existence.

“Are you enjoying it?” Eva asked Tyr suddenly. He was staring solemnly at the twisted human shapes, dancing a phantasmagoria of haunting steps in an otherworldly atmosphere that reminded him of a sort of dark rite he imagined The Chosen might administer.

“Yeah,” Tyr nodded his head and murmured the word under his breath. He certainly didn’t sound genuine, but he couldn’t do any better under the circumstances.

After another moment of watching the performers, Eva asked, “How did your meeting go last night?”

“Hm?”

Tyr had to think for a moment before he recalled telling Eva he had to take her home early because of a meeting with Doug, an old business associate. He had told Eva he was working on securing property to build a bar. It wasn’t true, but what the hell. She wasn’t going to live long enough to find out, whether he drained her tonight or not.

“Oh! It went fine. Four of us met up at a club and talked for a while. They were into us right off the bat and Doug and I really walloped them.” Tyr tried to amuse himself with this statement, but it didn’t help.
