|
||
|
The whore rolled over, pointing her broad backside at the Flesh Man,
|
||
|
and without needing further invitation he guided his potty-plunger into her
|
||
|
gaping glory hole.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You like, yes?" she asked, using three of the five English words in
|
||
|
her vocabulary, the other two - "Pay now" - having begun their meeting.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"It's okay," he grunted, "but Jose said there was going to be something
|
||
|
special."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Si, si, senor, en un momento."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Make it quick, I won't last much longer. You've got a pretty tight
|
||
|
butt-hole for a whore your age."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Gracias, senor."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Suddenly, the Flesh Man felt a warm sensation at the head of his cock,
|
||
|
and a blast of hot air enveloped his shaft. He came with a shuddering jerk,
|
||
|
grabbing the whore by her prodigious love handles and thrusting his spurting
|
||
|
tool into her, fighting the seemingly endless blast of air that blew his cum
|
||
|
back out of her ass. Finally spent, he plopped out of her and collapsed back
|
||
|
on the bed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"That was pretty good," he said. Then, lest he drive up the price next
|
||
|
time, he added, "for a local whore."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Gracias, senor."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Tired of talk, the Flesh Man pulled on his pants and stained Guyabera
|
||
|
shirt. The whore hurried to the bathroom, turning as she switched on the
|
||
|
light.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Hasta la vista, senor - Oh!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the first time she saw his face illuminated by the bathroom light.
|
||
|
The narrow, nearly closed left eye, the two misshapen holes that passed for a
|
||
|
nose, and the bloated, puffy lips that seemed in a perpetual sneer and were, as
|
||
|
always, decorated with a fine lace of spittle.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Hey, I said lights out, you bitch!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
He lunged for her, but the working girl darted behind the door and
|
||
|
bolted it. Then the other door flew open and Jose entered, a machete that
|
||
|
meant business gleaming in his right hand.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Que paso, senor?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Your whore turned that light on."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, pardon, senor. Marta, she makes a mistake. Please do not hold it
|
||
|
against her," he said, slipping the machete into its sheath and extending his
|
||
|
arms to his best customer. "Perhaps you satisfy her so much, she forgets
|
||
|
herself, eh?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Cut the crap. I've got about as much interest in satisfying her as in
|
||
|
marrying the bitch and opening a taco stand."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Does she satisfy you, though?" the burly pimp asked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Not bad, not bad."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"From you, an afficionado, that is high praise, senor," Jose replied,
|
||
|
guiding the Flesh Man into the waiting area.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How does she do that, anyway?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, same as we all do, you know," the pimp laughed, stirring a
|
||
|
vile-looking pot of refried beans.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Sure, but that much?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Well, senor, Marta has always been prone to gaseousness. It was a big
|
||
|
problem with the customers, and I was going to fire her, when I thought of a
|
||
|
way of taking advantage of it. Now she makes me many pesos and gets to enjoy
|
||
|
her favorite foods!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Jose tasted the fetid concoction, offering some to the Flesh Man.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No thanks, Jose. Anyways, tell me about this girl from Arabia.
|
||
|
What's so hot about her?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I myself do not know much, just that she is good, very good and very
|
||
|
expensive. Her name is April. She travels by private jet, always with
|
||
|
bodyguards. Today she is in Los Angeles, tomorrow, maybe London, Paris, Hong
|
||
|
Kong. They say every man who has her wants to keep her as his concubine or
|
||
|
marry her, but she is strictly on a one-time basis."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"How much?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, senor, she is out of your range. She is for the jet set, Arab
|
||
|
sheiks, Greek shipping tycoons, even American politicians. You could never
|
||
|
afford."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Cut the crap, Jose, just name a price. Ten grand?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Oh, no, senor, much more. You could never...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Just tell me how much!" snapped the Flesh Man.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"One-quarter of a million dollars, American, payable in cash - in
|
||
|
advance. As I say, she is a dream, a fantasy."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Call her. I gotta run now, but I'll raise the dough."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But senor, where will you...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I'll find a way."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Of course, senor, I should have known. I have never met a man who
|
||
|
craves the women as you do, and this is why they call you the Flesh Man, eh?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yeah, right." If only he knew, thought the Flesh Man, stepping out
|
||
|
into the sultry Acapulco night. If only he knew, it would turn even his
|
||
|
chili-hardened Mexican stomach.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
****
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man entered the dingy back room of the Caballo Loco cantina,
|
||
|
where Poco, a fat Mexican, was talking to a depressed-looking young American in
|
||
|
a leather flight jacket.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Hola, Flesh Man. Meet my friend the pilot, Keith Felcher. He was
|
||
|
just telling me his troubles."
|
||
|
|
||
|
The young American shook his hand, trying to hide his revulsion at the
|
||
|
Flesh Man's face, and almost succeeding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Isn't there a chance the airline'll find you innocent?" Pocco asked
|
||
|
the fly-boy as the Flesh Man sat down.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Pretty unlikely. These investigations are just a formality. Everyone
|
||
|
knows I caused that crash. I'm out of a job. Lucky for me, they're so short
|
||
|
of decent pilots they've got me flying until then."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"One little mistake, your career's over," sympathized Poco.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Fuck my career. I don't give a rat's ass if I ever fly. I'm up to
|
||
|
myh ass in debt. I'm in hot water with some badass dudes if I stop making
|
||
|
payments."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Inside the Flesh Man's devious mind, an idea was taking shape.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What size planes you fly?" he asked, casually.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"DC-6s, mostly," answered the pilot. "Small stuff, 50 to 60 passengers
|
||
|
tops."
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man smiled and asked, "When's your next flight to this area?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
But before the pilot could answer, the Flesh Man's pager beeped. He
|
||
|
sprang up and, without a word to his puzzled companions, bolted out the door.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
****
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
He arrived at the site before any medical vehicles. This was not
|
||
|
uncommon; he had sources at all the hospitals, and his Land Rover could take
|
||
|
the steep mountain roads much faster than any ambulance. He could tell as he
|
||
|
pulled on his blood-stained white lab coat that it would be a good night. The
|
||
|
bus had burned, but several bodies had been thrown clear. He adjusted his
|
||
|
official-looking hospital ID as he hurried over, lugging a carrying case.
|
||
|
Nimbly, the Flesh Man darted past the moaning, bleeding survivors, dodging as
|
||
|
they grabbed at his legs, ignoring their pleas for help.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He reached his objective, a half dozen lifeless bodies bearing no signs
|
||
|
of damage. "Severed spinal cords," he thought, "the best kind; sometimes the
|
||
|
heart is still beating." He knelt down among them, opened the ice-lined case,
|
||
|
took out a gleaming scalpel and went to work cutting, probing, extracting with
|
||
|
the quick efficiency of a master surgeon.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first ambulances arrived on the scene just as he had filled his
|
||
|
case. The Flesh Man snapped it shut and strode purposefully past them, waving
|
||
|
his ID.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Dr. Morgan, American Hospital, Mexico City. I'd stick around to
|
||
|
assist, but there's an orphan in Guadalajara who needs a kidney."
|
||
|
|
||
|
He threw the case into the back of his Land Rover and raced down the
|
||
|
road, weaving through the onrushing parade of emergency vehicles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Three hours later, in a grimy back office in Acapulco, Raoul the Turk
|
||
|
tossed a wad of hundereds at the Flesh Man, who counted them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"This is 19, Raoul, a grand short."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, one of those livers was not good.
|
||
|
|
||
|
" "Bullshit, Raoul, those bodies were undamaged."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Not in the accident, Fleshie, cirrhosis. Alcoholism. In six months,
|
||
|
he would have needed a transplant himself."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"People should take care of themselves," grumbled the Flesh Man.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"If they did, we'd be out of business. But since they treat their
|
||
|
bodies like toilets, wreck their livers with booze or their lungs with smoke,
|
||
|
we can sell them replacement parts and pay for our own vices, eh, Fleshie?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man smiled, pocketing the bills, then leaned forward, a
|
||
|
conspiratorial gleam in his eye.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yeah, but this is nickel-and-dime stuff, Raoul. Say I got 50, 60
|
||
|
complete bodies, unmarked, no trauma, no burns, refrigerated from the instant
|
||
|
of death. What could I get?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"All organs fresh? This would be very valuable. The genitals, for
|
||
|
instance, spoil quickly, and the demand for them in Scandinavia is always high.
|
||
|
You could do nicely, perhaps a half-a-million American dollars. Why, do
|
||
|
you...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
But the Flesh Man was out the door.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
****
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
"So let me get this straight," Keith said, sitting at his regular table
|
||
|
in the rear of the Caballo Loco, "I just depressurize the cabin, fly around
|
||
|
'till everyone asphyxiates and freezes back there, then land?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Exactly," said the Flesh Man. "I'll make it look like a crash, and as
|
||
|
far as anyone knows, you went down with it. I do a little business, you walk
|
||
|
away with 200 Gs."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I like it, but I'm not a murderer."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Keith, the people I work for ship organs to hospitals all over the
|
||
|
world. Now they're underground, but that's just because of the red tape.
|
||
|
They're still saving lives. For every person who dies on that plane, many
|
||
|
lives will be saved - a kidney here, a heart there, maybe a pair of eyes so a
|
||
|
little blind girl can see, or a set of ears so some old deaf woman can hear her
|
||
|
son play the violin."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yeah, but...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Look, all these people will die eventually, right? So why not have
|
||
|
them die in the right place, at the right time, so the gift of life can be
|
||
|
passed on? The way I see it, you'd be a murderer if you didn't kill them."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I never thought of it that way. I guess you're right."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"One week from today, then," the Flesh Man replied, rising to leave.
|
||
|
"Don't screw it up, and I'll make you a rich man."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Back at Raoul's, the Flesh Man told the Turk just enough to convince
|
||
|
him he meant business. He hated to tell him anything, but a deal this size had
|
||
|
to be set up in advance and only the Turk could supply the refrigerated truck
|
||
|
the job required. While he did some calculations, the Flesh Man called his
|
||
|
pimp.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Listen, Jose, I can have the money in a week...." But the Mexican cut
|
||
|
him off.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Bad news, senor. I call my connections and they tell me April, she is
|
||
|
retiring. She has one last job in Moscow, and then she is no longer in the
|
||
|
business."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, there has to be something you can do!" screamed the Flesh Man.
|
||
|
"When does she leave for Moscow?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Day after tomorrow."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"So get her here tomorrow!"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But, senor, this is impossible. She must have the money in advance.
|
||
|
You tell me you will have it in a week."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You'll have it in an hour."
|
||
|
|
||
|
When he hung up, the Turk was already shaking his head.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"No, Fleshie, I know what you will ask me, and it is impossible. I
|
||
|
work cash-on-delivery; you know that."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But, Raoul, I know you loan-shark. You've lent money to every lowlife
|
||
|
in this town; so why not to a guy you've done business with for years?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Turk leaned across the desk.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Flesh Man, we are friends, we trust each other. These people I lend
|
||
|
money to, I don't know from Mohammed, and I would not trust with their own
|
||
|
sisters. But they pay me back because they know, without a doubt, that if they
|
||
|
do not, I will find them, or my people will: here in Acapulco, in the interior,
|
||
|
anywhere in the world. No one has even missed an interest payment and lived to
|
||
|
see another sunset. If I lend you money and something happens, I have to kill
|
||
|
a friend. And I have too few as it is."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Don't make me cry, Raoul. Here's the deal, take it or leave it, and I
|
||
|
bet you can't leave it. Lend me the 250 now. In a week when I make the
|
||
|
delivery, it's all yours. Half-a-million bucks worth of bodies, fresh as a
|
||
|
truckful of daisies."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Two minutes later, the disfigured Anglo was running down the street
|
||
|
toward Jose's, clutching a bulky satchel like a tailback carrying a football.
|
||
|
Everything was going perfectly - well, almost. He could no longer afford to
|
||
|
pay Keith and would have to kill him. But that was not all bad; the pilot
|
||
|
talked too much, and killing him would take care of a loose end.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
****
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
The penthouse garden suite at the Hotel Del Golf was dark when the
|
||
|
Flesh Man walked in, which pleased him. The last thing he needed tonight was
|
||
|
to become impotent, as he had in the past when women gasped at his gnarled
|
||
|
face.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When his eyes adjusted to the gloom, he saw the slender figure of a
|
||
|
young woman no older than 18. She had soft olive skin; slender legs rising to
|
||
|
a perfectly proportioned butt; a dark, downy bush whose subtle perfume he could
|
||
|
just smell and a tight stomach with just enough silken baby fat to give her
|
||
|
youthful navel a sensual pout. This was topped by a pair of breasts that would
|
||
|
have made a master architect throw down his drafting pen in despair. Though
|
||
|
full and rounded, they seemed to float before her of their own accord.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But what struck the Flesh Man were her eyes; eyes of a deep tranquil
|
||
|
blue that seemed to gaze into his soul. As he stood transfixed, a shaft of
|
||
|
moonlight streamed through the glass roof onto his hideous face, but to his
|
||
|
amazement, her eyes gave no hint that she was revolted by what she saw.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And then she was on top of him on the huge, satin-covered bed, pulling
|
||
|
his clothes off, covering his body with kisses, licking and nibbling every
|
||
|
inch. In his hurry to make the final arrangements, he had neglected to bathe.
|
||
|
As a result, his body carried several days of accumulated stink, but she seemed
|
||
|
not to notice. Her nimble tongue darted into dark corners even the crustiest
|
||
|
Acapulco whores shied away from.
|
||
|
|
||
|
She continued like this for what felt like an age, seeming to know his
|
||
|
body better than the American himself did. He shut his eyes, and it seemed as
|
||
|
though three or four young girls with the curiosity of children, but with the
|
||
|
understanding of women, were caressing and adoring him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Just when he would have cried out that he couled take this teasing no
|
||
|
longer, she took his shaft in her mouth until its head was well down her
|
||
|
throat. To his amazement she even got her lips around his bulging, cum-filled
|
||
|
balls. The slightest motion would have brought up a torrent of hot jizz, but
|
||
|
she didn't twitch, just held his manhood motionless in her mouth as he writhed
|
||
|
at the brink of ecstasy. Occasionally she would swirl her tongue around his
|
||
|
balls, always stopping before they released their load. She somehow knew just
|
||
|
how far she could bring him without pushing him over the edge.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then, deep in the back of her throat, she began a slow swallowing
|
||
|
motion that playfully tickled the very tip of his cock, and he strained to bury
|
||
|
it deeper inside her. The swallowing motion increased, and soon her whole
|
||
|
mouth was alive, swirling and sucking as he shot thick jets of semen down her
|
||
|
throat. The whore swallowed like a hungry baby getting her first taste of
|
||
|
mother's milk, and she didn't release his member from her mouth until she had
|
||
|
gently, lovingly, milked it of its last precious drop.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usually, he needed half an hour before he could get another erection,
|
||
|
but his cock was barely dry when it was rock-hard again, ready to be pleasured
|
||
|
by her two other fuck-holes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
First she guided him up her tight little ass, which tugged and teased
|
||
|
his helmeted intruder just as her mouth had - only for twice as long - pumping
|
||
|
back and forth in an ever-increasing crescendo until he exploded inside her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The writhing sex machine seemed to adore the ass-reaming as much as she
|
||
|
had cherished the liquid lunch the Flesh Man had treated her earlier.
|
||
|
|
||
|
No sooner had he eased out of her rectum than she took his cock in her
|
||
|
mouth. Within moments it was stiff once again. She spread her slender legs,
|
||
|
and he knew it was vagina time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
He slipped easily into her slick, swollen cunt - gaping and red like a
|
||
|
cut on a boxer's face - and they fucked for hours. Her twat seemed to have an
|
||
|
endless supply of pearly lubricant that dribbled in shiny rivulets down his
|
||
|
cock, around his balls and along the crack of his ass, collecting in large
|
||
|
puddles on the king-size bed. Finally, she picked up the pace; her pelvic
|
||
|
thrusts becming more urgent, his breath coming in short bursts. As she clawed
|
||
|
her way up through layers of pleasure, finally breaking through, her loins
|
||
|
slapped his as they strained together toward orgasm. But even as she came, the
|
||
|
high-priced prostitute managed to hold him back.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then, with a smile that told him the best was yet to come, she split
|
||
|
her legs like a gymnast and began to revolve on the end of his tool, propelling
|
||
|
herself around with her hands, spinning faster and faster on her
|
||
|
well-lubricated vulva. This drove the Flesh Man even closer to the brink and
|
||
|
kept him there, helpless, a prisoner of her masterful cunt.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Finally, when he felt his heart could take no more, she let him come
|
||
|
and gratefully, shuderingly, he climaxed inside her; his powerful, jerky
|
||
|
thrusts bobbing her still-spinning body up and down on his pulsating pink
|
||
|
pivot.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A few minutes later she broke the silence. "You are not like the other
|
||
|
men I have been with."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What do you mean?" he snapped, thinking she was talking about his
|
||
|
face.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I have never met a man who takes pleasure like you. The other men,
|
||
|
they strut, they preen, they try to impress me; always asking, 'How do I look?
|
||
|
How does it feel? Do you mind if I do this or do you mind doing that?' But
|
||
|
not you. You are not afraid to just enjoy me."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You - you like that?" stammered the Flesh Man.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes, it is so honest. I am a whore; my job is to bring people
|
||
|
pleasure, but most of them, they try to satisfy me. They never could, and they
|
||
|
insult me by trying."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But, just now, you..."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes! With you, yes, because you are the first honest man I have
|
||
|
fucked in a long time."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"but my face - it doesn't bother you?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I am sorry, what do you mean?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"You can't honestly tell me you don't find me ugly."
|
||
|
|
||
|
April pulled her head back from his shoulder. "I see I can have no
|
||
|
secrets from you."
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man had seen a lot of strange things, but nothing could have
|
||
|
prepared him for what April did next. She reached up to her beautiful blue
|
||
|
eyes and deftly pulled them out, setting the turquoise glass balls on the bed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"The man who trained me from birth to be his concubine, live in his
|
||
|
harem, did this to me. He caught me looking at a servant boy and swore I would
|
||
|
never look at another man again. So one night as he climaxed I killed him.
|
||
|
The servant boy helped me escape. For the past five years, I make my living
|
||
|
the only way I know how."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"So that's why you have the plane, the bodyguards, the privacy...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"And the way you seem to know things, to know when...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Yes, this too. When you are blind, the other senses, they get
|
||
|
better."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Listening to this, the Flesh Man felt sensations he hadn't felt in
|
||
|
years, sensations like pity, even love. It was April who noticed he was also
|
||
|
growing hard again.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Perhaps you would like to do something I have never let any man do."
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man lay there amazed as she moved her head down to his
|
||
|
crotch, eased the head of his cock into her right eye socket and began bobbing
|
||
|
her head gently up and down. This new fuck-hole had a soft, spongy warmth, and
|
||
|
soon he was ready to come.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Do you midn if I...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Come in my brain? No, not at all. Please do."
|
||
|
|
||
|
As she spoke the words, he fired one last salvo of semen, which
|
||
|
dribbled out of her other eye socket and onto his tired balls. She hungrily
|
||
|
licked it up before lightly kissing his cheek and falling asleep beside him.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
A few weeks later, the Flesh Man drove the shiny, silver refrigerator
|
||
|
truck the Turk had lent him up to an abandoned airfield he had staked out in
|
||
|
the mountains high above Acapulco. He wlaked to the runway and sat down to
|
||
|
wait, thinking about April. She had been gone when he awoke, and he had not
|
||
|
forgotten what Jose had said about her belonging to no man. But he would never
|
||
|
forget that night, and he resolved to track her down in her retirement and
|
||
|
marry her.
|
||
|
|
||
|
His reverie was broken by the reasuring whine of the DC-6 as it broke
|
||
|
through the clouds in a steep descent, then bottomed out into a perfect
|
||
|
approach over the cracked, weathered strip of tarmac.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not until the plane was a couple hundred feet off the runway did the
|
||
|
Flesh Man realize what was wrong. He started waving franticaly. But Keith
|
||
|
just waved back, a half-empty bottle of tequila in his hand. "The drunken
|
||
|
fool," the Flesh Man thought. "He forgot to lower the landing gear." The
|
||
|
plane touched down with a sickening scrape, spinning sideways, catching a wing,
|
||
|
flipping over and bursting into flames.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Flesh Man spung to the truck, reviewing options as he ran.
|
||
|
Acapulco was out; the Turk would be waiting for him. He would drive up the
|
||
|
coast to Mazatlan, board a freighter for the U.S., raise some money, get a new
|
||
|
identity, and head for - wherever.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only after he had climbed into the truck did he see Raoul, and the gun.
|
||
|
"He must have been hiding in the back," thought the Flesh Man. The game was
|
||
|
over.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I warned you, Fleshie. I told you not to do this. But the Flesh Man
|
||
|
must have his flesh at all costs, hmm?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Look, Raoul, just get it over with. Do you want me to step outside so
|
||
|
I don't mess up your nice truck?"
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Don't be silly, Fleshie. You are worth nothing to me dead. I still
|
||
|
aim to collect my half-a-million dollars."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"But didn't you say...."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"The principle, I can wait a week for." It would be hard, but somehow
|
||
|
he could raise the money in a week. This seemed too good to be true. It was.
|
||
|
"But you are not off the hook, Fleshie. Your first interest payment is due
|
||
|
now, $10,000."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I can raise it in an hour once we get back to town."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Now, Fleshie. Cash - or merchandise."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Merchandise? But - you saw the plane. Those bodies are history."
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I'm not taling about those bodies, Fleshie." In a blood-curdling
|
||
|
instant, he understood.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I got a call from Scandinavia. They'll pay $10,000 tonight. One way
|
||
|
or another, your... equipment will be on board. It is up to you whether the
|
||
|
rest of you will be alive, or dead and in the freezer down in my office."
|
||
|
|
||
|
Several minutes later, in the refrigerated compartment of the truck,
|
||
|
the Flesh Man made the first incision and tried to look at the bright side: he
|
||
|
would survive. This trick with the planes could be a gold mine if he chose his
|
||
|
pilots more carefully. A few hauls and he could pay off the Turk, maybe afford
|
||
|
to track down April. He would temporarily be incapable of enjoying her
|
||
|
talents, sure, but perhaps this place in Scandinavia could attach a new set on
|
||
|
him. Unlike their other clients, he could choose his own donor, and he might
|
||
|
even move up a size or two. The possibilities were endless. He was, after
|
||
|
all, the Flesh Man.
