house and happens upon a group of vicious teenagers, hell bent on exacting revenge, for something one of their neighbors has done.
It's easy like that. A sad look in the eye, a smile, a wistful pocket of silence while the tension breaks. Bone taught me that. Bone taught me the beauty in forming a lie, because in doing so, you reveal the truth.
He's the one that made me see that truth with Maude. Or perhaps I'm the one that made him see it. Whichever way round it was, there is something about her that he's never seen in anyone else. Perhaps it’s the same kind of hunger for that which we are told we shouldn't crave. It's the yearning to see that tipping point, that incredible moment where you can truly be God.
We are getting closer.
Bone puts his hand on my shoulder, the other one on Maude's. Sat forward in his chair I can see he's excited. Maude turns to him and smiles. She reaches for his hand, takes it and puts it in her lap. Makes circles in the center of his palm with the yolk of her thumb. Seeing her do it is making me hard. It's making me want to fuck her.
The house isn't mine, not officially. Not yet. After this, when the police have been in and out, the death has been linked to the others, and the investigation has been reopened, I'll swoop in silently at auction, do the banks a favor and add it to the tour.
"We're here", I say when I've parked the car a comfortable distance away.
Maude cranes her neck to look at the houses on the street, trying to guess within which one he's waiting.
"Bone's here already?" she asks. "Inside?"
***
S he was a pleasant girl, worth a lot more than twenty thousand dollars. A bargain. We drank wine, spoke a little bit about her family, and then I put my hand around her neck and held my knife to her throat. After that we got along a lot better. Sometimes you have to be forceful. I told her it was part of the game. She'd get extra money if she played along with it. It didn't take long to convince her. Bone can be very convincing like that. He's a charming man when you get to know him.
I don't know if I'm telling Maude this as we climb the stairs, or Bone is telling us both. I'm too excited about what I'm about to show her to care. About what we are about to do. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself.
"You're getting a playmate", I told her. "I'll bring her over to see you. You just stay there and relax. We'll be back again soon."
I watch Bone stand behind Maude at the door to the bedroom. He winks at me. "I'll take it from here."
He's erect, the savage! Maude turns to me all lust and nervous excitement. I watch them push open the door slowly, the world close in.
Chapter 18
Maude
S he's spread out on the bed, naked, arms bound together and hooked to the wrought iron headboard with a loop of knots that look like they've been tied by a trawler boat fisherman. Her legs are wide open, and I can see the intricate folds of her pussy, the pink meat of the delicate skin inside. In her mouth is a gag of balled up fabric that upon closer inspection, I realize are her panties. Her eyes dart from me to Christopher, and back again. Is this who I'm going to see die? Is this the value of life?
"Bone", I mutter. It's not a sentence and it's barely even a word.
"Soon", Christopher says. The look on his face seems to suggest he didn't expect her to be here. He turns to me.
"This is for us", he says excitedly, as though he's suddenly realized it.
I'm in my own snuff movie. I'm not part of this. I'm a participant, but I'm not part of this. Jasper says you can never unsee what you've already seen. I can never unsee her. Why can I not stop looking?
I watch Christopher go to her. I watch myself join him too. I'm a participant, but I'm not part of this. I'm a passerby caught in someone else's famous photo. I'm a reflection in the eye of the Mona Lisa. I'm an audience member at the theater the lead shares a brief moment with. I'm not here to break the fourth wall. I'm not here at all.
