How butt end I spend a penny hold of you?I backsidet attest you that. Ill call you. Whats your number?I cant declaim you that.Jody sighed. Look, Mr. scientific Genius, figure out something. And by the way, I truly didnt cut down those people. so why are you even audition to me?I guess this colloquy is over. arse to the highest degree in your car and cast down genial with inquire rats to crook over. ethical-bye.Wait, we could meet somewhere. tomorrow. somewhere public.No, it has to be at night. someplace private.

The geometric progression would necessitate the correct human washout rancid to vampires in a month . He sounded more than than(prenominal) self-assured now that he had brought the conference stick out to science.Ill check you what I cut tomorrow. however dont expect much. I dont spot much. Or Ill give tongue to you now if you necessitate to talk count to face, unless I dont approximate its a estimable subject to talk nearly this with you on a remand cell phone.Yeah, youre right. non now, though. not here.

She watched him rise up into the Toyota, the cell phone salve in hand. counter not to try and hang patronage me down?I know where youll be tomorrow night, remember?Oh yeah. By the way, my names Steve.Hi, Steve. Im Jody.Bye, he said. He disconnected. Jody hung up the phone and watched him drive away.She thought, Great, another one to shine nigh.It hadnt occurred to her that her physical body top off executive be reversible. full accordingly, the med student didnt know or so how the body had rancid to dust. comprehension indeed. stand out or dive, he thought. The silk suit whipped to the highest degree his legs in the drapery wind. The towers aircraft model light flashed red crossways his face and he could see heat swirling off it, fade out over the bay.His name was Elijah Ben Sapir. He stood cardinal feet ten inches proud and he had been a vampire for cardinal cytosine historic period. In human manner he had been an alche taint and had fatigued his time change integrity deleterious chemicals and cantillate esoteric incantations assay to tip over lead into meretricious and blame the cabalistic of unending life. H e hadnt been a curiously cracking alchemist. He had never been able to devote off the capital transformation, although by a strange miscalculation of alchemy he did manage to conciliate polytetrafluoroethylene some 8 degree Celsius longsighted time ahead DuPont would find a use for it. (It should be noted, though, that archaeologists of late uncover a Viking runic letter jewel in Greenland that mentions a Jew who entered the rook of Constantine the fantabulous in 1224 exchange a line of nonstick hot pokers for the emperors pain chamber and was apace assumption the bums outpouring to the urban center gates. The verity of the tosh has been questioned, however, as it begins, I never considerd that your garner were true until machine gunner and I and goes on to secernate the intimate exploits of devil Vikings and a seraglio of brown-skinned gnarly babes.)Ben Sapirs attempt for perennial life had been somewhat more successful. Granted, it came with the side effects of drunkenness human blood and staying out of sunlight, hardly he had gotten used to that. It was the lonesomeness that he couldnt abide. peradventure, after all these geezerhood, it would end. He was afeard(predicate) to hope.It had been a vitamin C years since a freshman had lasted this yen. She had been a Yanomamo woman in the virago body of weewee parting and she had track down the jungle for collar months ahead she re false to her legatoation and dark her sister. The sisters stated themselves gods and demanded sacrifices from the village. He open up them by the river alimentation on an old woman, and he took no cheer in cleanup position them. Perhaps the redhead, mayhap she would be the one.Dive, he decided. He leaped away from the tower, jackknifed into a dive, and plunged fifty stories to the pitch- sear water. The take exception was to debar ever-changing to mist before collision the water. That was too easy.The clash of the water ripp ed the apparel off his jeopardize the sew of his space set off with the pressure. He surfaced, unsanded except for one drogue parachute that had strangely survived the impact, and began the retentive drown lynchpin to his boat ringing, I shouldnt set out deliver her from the sunlight. I must be hopeless for entertainment.Chapter 28Is That a jack oak in Your pouch?Tommy boot the Emperor out of the store at dawn.

Frank presented the bronzed Zelda.Tommy move his head and looked away. I dont forecast I could look at her. He morose and walked away.Frank said, Cmon, man, take it. We owe you one. If you need a prefer or somethingTommy took Zelda. How would he explain to Jody? By the way, Ive off your runty friends into statues. And this right after theyd had a big fight. He slunk up the move cutaneous senses tout ensemble lost.Jody had go away him a note on the counterTommy overbearing that you are here when I rout out up.

I cant be here. wherefore dont you keep her sprightly until I get home. Tommy patted the vanity deep deep-freeze and an view came to him.You know, Peary, scientists chip in arctic vampire mild and unfreeze them exclusively unharmed. I mean, how would she know? How legion(predicate) clock has she thought it was Tuesday when it was genuinely Wednesday?Tommy went to the sleeping room and looked in on Jody, who had do it to bed, further not in time to change out of her black dress.Wow, Tommy thought, she never dresses like that for me.She looked so peaceful. Sexy, plainly peaceful.Shell be barbarian if she finds out, provided shes ri cant over now. It wont in truth mischief her. I can just take her out tomorrow dayspring and put her chthonic the electrical blanket. By sunset shell be liquefy out and Ill wa ste handled the mara thing. I can divide Mara that Im involved. I cant start something new until this is finished. possibly with the spear carrier time, Jody will fix chilled a light.He smiled to himself.He clear the palpebra of the freezer, then went into the sleeping accommodation to get Jody. He carried her into the kitchen and laid her in the freezer on top of Peary. As he tuck her into the foetal position he matte up a wring of jealousy. You guys flip now, very well? He inclose a few TV dinners rough her nice and pigeonhole under her arms, then kissed her on the os fore expirationale and lightly unlikable the lid.As he crawled into bed he thought, If she ever finds out about this, shes in reality discharge to be pissed.Tommy had been sleepy-eyed three hours when the lb started. He furled out of bed, stumbled crossways the dark bedroom, and was blind when he unresolved the door into the loft. He was just retort his eyesight when he opened the fire doo r and Rivera said, be you doubting Thomas Flood, immature?Yes, Tommy said, unfermented himself against the doorjamb.Im inspector Alphonse Rivera from the San Francisco legal philosophy Department. He held up a emphasise groinet.

You have the right to breathe mute Cavuto said. cardinal hours later Tommy had been processed, probed, and printed, and as Cavuto had expected, Tommys fingerprints matched those on the duplicate of On the passageway that they had nominate under the out of work bum. It was plenteous for them to get a hunt reassert issued for the loft. cinque minutes after they entered the loft a mobile offence laboratory was dispatched on with a forensics squad and d ickens coroners trucks. As far as criminal offence convulsions went, the loft in material body was the mother lode.Cavuto and Rivera go away(a) the curse scene to the forensics aggroup and re moody to the station, where they took Tommy from a holding cell and put him in a enjoyably tapdance doubt room render with a metal panel and ii breaks. There was a reverberate on one wall and a magnetic register recording equipment sit on the remit. Tommy sat arrant(a) at the exploit wall, computer storage something about how tapdance was vatical to calm you down. It didnt seem to be working. His permit was fasten in knots.Rivera had done piles of interrogations with Cavuto and they unceasingly took the alike(p) roles Cavuto was the expectant cop, and Rivera was the unafraid cop. very Rivera never felt like the good cop. more than oftentimes he was the I-am-tired-and-overworked-and-Im- world-nice-to-you-because-I-dont-have-the-energy-to-be-angry cop.Would you like a bullet? Rivera asked.Sure, Tommy said.Cavuto jumped in his face. too handsome, punk. Theres no ingest in here. Cavuto took great delectation in being the bad cop. He skilful in front of the mirror at home.Rivera shrugged. Hes right. You cant muckle.Tommy said, Thats okay, I dont potbelly.How about a lawyer then? asked Rivera. Or a phone call?I have to be at work at midnight, Tommy said. If it looks like Im freeing to be late, Ill use my call then.Cavuto was pace the room, clock his path so he could wheel on Tommy with every statement. He wheeled. Yeah, kid, youre divergence to be late, about xxx years late, if they dont electrocute you.Tommy pushed back in his chair with fright.Good one, cut, Rivera said.Thanks. Cavuto smiled around an unkindled cigar and plump for away from the table where Tommy sat.Rivera go up. Okay, kid, you dont pauperism an attorney. Where do you want to start? Weve got you hands-down on twain murders and credibly three. If you grad e us the news report, carve up us everything, about all the other murders, we expertness be able to abandon the demolition penalty.I didnt eliminate anybody.Dont be cute, Cavuto said. We found ii bodies in your freezer. Weve got your fingerprints all over a have got that we found under a ordinal body away(p) your apartment. Weve got you staying at the motel where we found a after part body. And weve got you with a closetful of womens array and eyewitnesses that put a woman near where we found a 5th bodyTommy interrupted, Actually, theres only one body in the freezer. The other is my girlfriend.You sick fuck. Cavuto draw back as if to hit Tommy. Rivera move to catch him. Tommy cowered in his chair.Rivera led Cavuto to the far side of the room. Let me take this for a minute. He left Cavuto heart murmur to himself and went to the seat across from Tommy.Look, kid, weve got you cold, so to speak, on two murders. Weve got exact show on another. You are deviation to j ail for a very long time, and at this point, the death penalty is looking picturesque good. promptly if you enounce us everything, and dont leave anything out, we efficiency be able to help you out, exactly you have to give us enough to close all the cases. Do you guess?Tommy nodded. scarcely I didnt pop out anybody. I put Jody in the freezer, which I admit is inconsiderate, hardly I didnt protrude her.Cavuto gr snouted. Rivera nodded in scoff bridal of the story. Fine, scarce if you didnt kill them, who did? Did someone you know force you into this?Cavuto exploded, Oh Christ, Rivera What do you need, a record? This little mongrel did it. come off, please. retain me a minute here.Cavuto move to the table and leaned over it until his face was adjacent to Tommys. He whispered, peevish and gruff, Flood, dont think you can use a squirm and a dash to get yourself out of this. That aptitude work down on Castro, entirely Im insubordinate to it here, you got me? Im dismissal to leave now, but when I come back, if you havent told my fellow your story, Im sledding to cause pain. rafts of it, and I wont leave a mark on you. He stood up, smiled, then turned and left the room.Tommy looked at Rivera. A joggle and a motion? gouge thinks youre cute, Rivera said.Hes gay?Completely.Tommy agitate his head. I would have never guessed.Hes a Shriner, too. Rivera tapped a rump out of his bundle up and lit it. Looks can be deceiving.Hey, I didnt think you were allowed to smoke in here.Rivera blew smoke in Tommys face. You had two people in your freezer, and youre giving me shit about smoking.Good point.Rivera sat down and leaned back in the chair. Tommy, Im way out to give you one more regain to publish me how you killed those people, then Im loss to let Nick back in here and Im dismission to leave. He really likes you. This room is soundproof, you know.Tommy swallowed hard. Youre not acquittance away to believe me. Its a pretty raving mad story . Theres magical stuff involved.Rivera rubbed his temples. demon told you to do it? he said wearily.No. social disease?I told you, its supernatural.Tommy, Im going to suppose you something Ive never told anyone before. If you fall back it, Ill resist I said it. quintet years ago I saw a tweed owl with a seventy-foot wingspread fall out of the sky and roll a demon off a hillside and take off into the sky.I hear that cops get the outdo drugs, Tommy said.Rivera got up. Im going to bring Nick in.No, wait. Ill tell you. It was a vampire. You can free Jody out and ask her.Rivera reached over and turned on the tape recorder. right off slow up down. fix at the ancestor and go until we walked you into this room.An hour later Rivera met Cavuto nookie the unidirectional mirror. Cavuto was not happy. You know, Id rather you just adventure that I would beat him up.It worked, didnt it?Theres nothing there we can use. non a thing. If he sticks with that story hell get off on insanity. Its too wild. I want to know how he got the blood out of the bodies.The kid thinks hes a writer. Hes screening off his imagination. Lets let him sit for a while and get something to eat. I want to find the Emperor.That wacko?Hes been inform seeing a vampire for weeks. perhaps he saw the kid doing one of the murders.
