CHAPTER 21

 

8:28 p.m., Saturday, April 1

It was getting late. If he didn’t make his move soon, he’d miss his chance. He had been online with Cindy since quarter to eight. Cindy’s husband was a Merchant Marine, and was often out of town for prolonged periods. Cindy, a teacher, had taken up chatting to fill the void left by his absence. It wasn’t something she was proud of; in fact, she was hoping to quit – but not quite yet. She thought briefly of her recent confession, then dismissed the thought of it. She could always go again; that was what being a Catholic was all about, wasn’t it?

The killer stared at the flickering image on his screen. He was getting good at this. He typed some more:

SexualGuy1: So…uh…Cindy…when are we going to get together?

2Sexy4U: I don’t know…how about tomorrow night?

SexualGuy1: You’re kidding. Really?

2Sexy4U: Well, my husband’s not due back ’til next Wednesday…

She had already told him where she lived, so it would only be a short walk from his residence to hers. Why not? She sounded really hot. Maybe he could really turn her on. Not like that other one. What was her name? Marlene? Maureen? It was something like that. Well, it didn’t matter. He’d fixed her ass. He’d fixed her good, the bitch. Hope her husband got a good surprise, he thought.

2Sexy4U: Hey!!! Are you still there?

SexualGuy1: Yeah…I’m still here…what’s up?

2Sexy4U: Well…how about it? Do you want to come over?

She really wants it, he thought. Well, I’m just the one to give it to her.

SexualGuy1: Sure, baby…what time?

2Sexy4U: How about 9?

SexualGuy1: Sure. What’s the apartment number?

2Sexy4U: It’s 3B…just ring the bell downstairs, and I’ll let you in. Try not to make

2 much noise, ok?

SexualGuy1: Sure! NP…see you at 9!!!

I won’t make a sound, he thought. But, I’ll make sure that she makes plenty of noise. It’ll be a great April Fools Day.
