seventeen.
âWienerâs Circle. I love that place. I want a motherfuckinâ hot dog, bitch.â
âThatâs the one. Okay.â Toliver nodded with a smile. âWhat did you have in mind?â
âI canât say here. Can you get someone to cover for you? We can go right outside.â
âNo one needs to cover for me. Iâm just here for show anyway.â
The camera turned, and our bumpy view stopped near the corner. The monitor had a perfect view of a Bourbon Street sign in the background.
âWhat can I do for you? You wanna bang a football player? Fuck on a window washerâs scaffolding? Dress like furry animals?â
âI like it harsh. I like to do things other guys wonât.â
âWhoa, thatâs what Iâm talking about. You S and M freaks expect me to know when to stop your pain. I wonât do that for fruits I donât know. Look, this isnât a good idea. Iâm getting a bad feeling.â
Bienvenue touched Toliverâs arm. âNo. Iâm not into S and M, really. I want to kill a guy, pretend kill, then fuck him after heâs pretend dead and get it on video. You try to get someone to role-play that fantasy.â
âThatâs fucked up. You a necrophiliac?â
âSort of. Iâve never fucked a dead body, but I fantasize about it.â
Silence.
âThatâs pretty easy to stage. Itâs too bad youâre fucked up, being so gorgeous. I can arrange something that I think youâll like. Do you want to kill a burglar? Your boss? I got a good-looking guy who can play the victim, and I can video it for future enjoyment. Heâll even take a few real hits.â He paused. âTwo thousand dollars.â
âThat Army stunt I heard about was cheaper.â
âI donât know you. If this works out and you visit us again, then the price can be adjusted in the future.â
âHow soon can you set it up?â
âWe can do it tomorrow night. Iâm off, and I know this guyâs available.â
âWhatâs he look like?â
Good question, Bienvenue,
I thought. Then I spotted a fight break out in the distance. If cops arrived, they would most definitely recognize our gay mole.
âHeâs good-looking like me but not as hot as you.â
âPerfect. Where do we meet?â
âIn front of the St. Louis Cathedral at ten oâclock tomorrow night. If you donât have the cash on you, then we donât do business. Plus, I frisk for weapons, so donât bring any. Iâll supply what youâre going to use. What do you want? A plastic knife or a cap gun? A Wiffle bat, maybe?â
âA knife. Definitely a knife.â
When the coast was clear, Bienvenue climbed into the truck, and we all squeezed over to make room for him as if we were sitting around a campfire.
I was so amazed by his performance that I had to address him first. âDamn, man. How did you come up with all that shit? You were just supposed to get to know Toliver. Maybe get invited back to his place and get him to talk.â
âHe wasnât that type,â Bienvenue said. âOnce I found out he was a whore, I had to change my approach. I figured the sooner the better. You heard the bartender. Toliverâs a role-playing prostitute. He sets up fantasies. He could have set up your double homicide.â
âThatâs what youâre going to find out,â Wayne said. âIf this was a botched role-playing fantasy by Toliver, then others are involved. You have to see how far heâll go.â
Ron laughed. âJust how far are you willing to take it, Bienvenue?â
âI wonât kiss anyone, and if he goes for my dick, heâs going to regret it.â
âDonât worry,â Wayne said seriously. âYouâll be set up with this same equipment. If something goes wrong, weâll be there in a matter of seconds. If you canât get him
