Chapter 15

Henry Levitt was abruptly awakened by a heavy pressure on his stomach and mouth. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the dim light coming in through the open window of his brother's guest room.

"This will go much easier if you just relax," whispered the blonde woman sitting on his stomach. Her latex-gloved hand remained clamped over his mouth. "Do you know who I am?"

Henry might not have recognized her if they'd passed on the street, but he recognized the pink designer suit she was wearing and, given the circumstances, he had no doubt this was Stewart's killer. Not a woman, but a man in drag. He shook his head in denial anyway.

"How strange," the man replied in a husky voice. "I purposely wore the same outfit I had on the last time you saw me. And you certainly didn't have any trouble describing me to the police artist."

Henry's eyes widened with terrified comprehension. He knew he was staring death in the face. The only question was which mutilation this maniac would do first, carve out his eyes or slash his throat. He tried to draw in a deep breath, but he simply wasn't strong enough to make his diaphragm work against the man's weight.

"I'll get off if you promise not to move or make a sound. If you do anything to wake up your family, I guarantee they will all be dead before I leave here. If you do as I say, they'll never know I was here, so I won't have to hurt them, and you will be given a gift that will allow you to die with a little dignity. Agreed?"

As Henry was already getting dizzy from lack of oxygen, he nodded his agreement.

"Very good," he whispered with a charming smile then moved off the bed. His freed captive gasped sharply. "Careful now," he warned. "No noise. Do you have a pen and piece of paper in here?"

Henry nodded toward the nightstand drawer and the man easily found what he was looking for.

Handing the items to Henry, he told him to sit up and write the following to his brother...

"I hope you'll forgive me for doing this in your home, but I didn't want to be all alone. I hope you will understand why I chose a quick finish rather than what we both know was in store. Know that I love you very much."

Henry wrote every word that was dictated and wondered how this creature knew exactly how he felt. Perhaps he once had a friend die of AIDS.

"Sign it with whatever nickname he called you, so he won't have any doubt that you wrote this note yourself."

Henry obeyed, handed the finished product to his executioner to proofread, then sank back on his pillows.

"Excellent," he whispered, reaching into the pocket of the pink jacket. He then drew out a black capsule. "And this is your gift—extra-strength cyanide. It's easy to swallow, relatively painless and incredibly fast-working."

Henry's hand shook as he accepted the lethal pill.
