man who could not be killed part 4 - Disposal

Calico was tracing the scars on Ronin’s chest. With a long nail. She was one of Gabriel and Beths’s as well.

CALICO – It’s like a roadmap to Hell.

RONIN – You are a sweetheart. And if I recall you gave me some of these.

CALICO – Only a few. I plan on adding more.

RONIN – So it’s a work in progress

Calico kisses him gently on the center of the chest. Followed by a gentle bite. Like a signature. She had luxiorius long brown hair this daughter of Bast. The eyes were golden like the luster of sunlight on the ocean. She was grace.

CALICO – Lake will see you soon, she needs you to crack the cypher on that document for her.

RONIN – The one from the vatican archives?

Calico turned away and gleefully hopped up the stairs two at a time.

Ronin got to his feet. He heard the stacatto rhythym of Ernesto’s cane as he went down the stairs. An echo of memory came. Emma, blood, snow, the snow had has a shining surface from frozen rain the night before. It gleamed, like a knife. She was begin dragged.

DANTE – SHE’S TURNED PUT HER DOWN RO!!!!!!!!!

Ronin shuttered at the memory as Ernesto came. The leg ravaged by an old battle. The cane beatifully hand carved.

Victim number three is on the table if you want to look. They had found the body a few days earlier near a dumpster in Bellport behind a clsed down diner. SEX written in purplish spraypain on a dark green dumpster. A starved german shephered mix on a choker also tied to it. It had been sick and dying gnawing on the corpse. The corpse was also small, youngish, south american most likely. Sold into prostitution. She was being forced fed, methanoll alchohol for evidence removal. To keep her from changing. This vamp. The Vampire peophile was most likely using the coyotes to bring illegals across the border and keeping them as slaves. Undocumented and unmissed, he self lost in uncaring and delibearely blind translation.

Having seen enough autopsies. He knew the drill but the smell assaulted his senses like a cult leaders incessent rants.

RONIN – What’s that smell.

ERNESTO – Formaldyhyde. Mehanol metabolizes in the body as formaldehyde. As you can see she has massive eye damage. If you look ather damaged liver and kidneys as well.

RONIN - Christ.

ERNESTO - Bless yourself you heathen.

I did as I was told. A well trained catholic.

RONIN - Moonshine, wood in the mash.

ERNESTO - Whomever this is has a still.

RONIN - How was it ingested.

ERNESTO - Most likely alcohol bath and force feeding.

RONIN - How long.

ERNESTO - gotta get to her, soon.

Ernesto muttered something in spanish. All i could get was that in was a Hail Mary. I may not have Spanish but I have enough italian to make sense of it. Enresto studied to be a priest in his younger days. The dogma sloughed off like old skin but the colloid faith was apparent.

The feeding was ritualized, jugular and femoral. The master vamp was concerned only about turning a few but not all.

ENRESTO – The master vampire wants them clean. The cleansing of the inside as well as the out. She was most likely blind and half mad from the poisoning. Like whatever it is tried to purge the original sin from her. She’s been dead too long for Blue to read anything from her.

RONIN – How’s Roxanne.

ERNESTO – She’s putting herself back together.

RONIN – my gear.

ERNESTO – Safe and secure.

RONIN – You called him didn’t you?

ERNESTO – Both of them.

RONIN – I got no issue with the Mic but ……..

ENRNESTO – You need a crew again. Start training and teaching again.

RONIN – Chalice has me writing….

ERNESTO – You’re out of it. Hit the sack. If I’m right and that’s a given, you’ll be storming a slave brothel by tonight We might as well use the power outage to our advantage.
