  Twisted City part 3

              (Death can come from a Angel/Demon with a smile and a goodbye)

Beatrice laid in his arms. Coyote watched her sleep and he doesn’t sleep too much lately. He finally found sleep. A vision appeared in his dreams of a brown hair woman. She is looking for him with real desperation. She would become his student and his killer. He tried to sleep as the morning light appears in the window. He wake up and he smelled bacon and eggs cooking and he goes to Beatrice and wrapped his arms around her. She asked how long are you staying? He whispered three days. She smiles and don’t complain. She liked her private time. And now she had a stable of writers and poets who keeps her busy. She asked.  When was going on book tour?  Are you going to do some poetry readings? Your readers going to think you are dead if you don’t make a appearance soon.

He told her. I will go on book tour in the fall. She smiled and never question where he was or going.
 She told him. You must be in Seattle in 10 day for your new book opening. Coyote smiles and kissed her. The three days goes quickly. He kissed her goodbye and go to his old Dakota truck. Beatrice ensured the truck is always ready with basic maintenance. Coyote turned the key and the truck sound quiet and ready to go. He looked up and Beatrice is waving goodbye. He tossed her a kiss and gets on the road. He arrived in Portland and parked the truck in a parking structure. He didn’t know why he had to be here  today. He had a gut feeling he had a purpose to be in Portland today. He walked to a coffee shop and a young girl asked. Honey can I help you? He ordered a coffee and the breakfast special. A young couple sat close by. Coyote saw bruises on her face and she was barely nineteen years old. She looked beat down and tire and she was holding a child close to her.

The man with her was speaking loud and told her.   I will kill her and the baby if you left me.  He reached over and slapped her. She hid her face. Hiding the red mark on her face. Coyote fall into a memory of a good friend and she was beautiful. She loved him and was a good friends for many years. She met a man who abused her and she told him don’t do anything to him. He will get better. He got a call on September day to go to Michigan. He went and saw her for the last time. She was so cold in the basement of the Hospital and he had to arrange her funeral.  He paid for her funeral and the man paid for his sins. He had a bad death and he awoke.

He awoke. Coyote heard the girl crying and  She asked the man. Please  let me go, please let me leave?
He told her. I will kill you first and he slapped her a second time. Coyote reached over and he touched his shoulder.  He whispered. I will brake your arm if you hit her again. The man  stood up and  told the woman. Go home now. He tossed 5 dollars on the table and followed the woman. Coyote gets up and tossed 20 dollars on the table and follow the couple. They go into a old apartment building a few blocks away. Coyote saw a sub shop across the street and he goes to it. A young red head say. Hi Honey.  What can I get you? He ordered a sub and a coffee. He would wait for the woman to appear.
It wasn’t long. She goes to the sub shop and order food  then to the liquor store. She returned and the waitress goes to her. She fall into her arms and the waitress told her to call the police. She told her. They won’t do a damn thing and he will kill me one day. She goes back to her apartment.

The waitress come to Coyote. Refilled his coffee and he asked her. Was everything okay? She sat down with him and told him. Jennifer was the sweetest and happiest girl in the neighborhood.  He will kill her one day and no-one will give a s**t. He asked. Why won’t she call the police? She told him. They came 3 or 4 times already and did nothing. The waitress come close to him and spoke quietly. I would kill that b*****d myself if I could. Coyote asked. Why can’t she leave? The young waitress said my name was Laura. She told him the girl  father is a preacher in Ohio. She don’t want to bring this problem to him. He asked. What is his name?  She smiled and told him. His name is  like the president Samuel Adams.
Coyote waits until she appeared again. She goes to Laura and asked to borrow twenty dollars to buy whiskey. So when Paul woke up he would be happy. Coyote goes to her and he asked. How have you been Jennifer? I’m a friend of your father. Are you okay? Jennifer mind been so screwed up she didn’t know this man. She told him. I don’t remember you? Coyote smile and told her. It been a long time and  can I help you? Have you talk to your father in Ohio? Jennifer laughs and told him.  If you can buy me and my baby a plane ticket to Ohio.  Give me a lot of money, you can? Coyote smiles and told her that isn’t a problem for me. They go into the apartment and Paul is passed out.
 
He told her. Get the diaper bag and he would buy whatever she needed. They go to the sub shop and called a taxi. Laura came to them and kiss Jennifer goodbye and thanking Coyote. He puts four $50 bills in her hands. At the airport Jennifer called her father. He asked to speak to Coyote. The father said. I don’t know you, but I owe you my life for bringing my baby girl and my granddaughter  back home. Jennifer looked Coyote in the eyes. I know you are a stranger and I’m  thankful. Why are you helping me? Coyote look away and whispered.  Some debts are done for many reasons. I have my reasons. Today I want to save you. She kissed his forehead and they walked toward the plane. He called her back and puts a envelope in her hand. He told her. This will help you begin anew please don’t let anyone hurt you again. In her seat she opened the envelope and founds fifty $100.00 dollars bills with a note. “You are safe now and remember the past is to  remind us to be strong and never allow anyone to hurt you again. “

In the Taxi the song sang in his head. “So much to do, no time to do it. So much to do. No time to do it.”
He arrived and gets drops off a few blocks away from Jennifer apartment. He walked into the apartment and at the door he is standing. Paul is yelling. Where you been b***h? I will kill you next time you take off without my permission. Where is my whiskey? Coyote goes to him and shoot the needle into side of his neck. Paul can’t move and he yelled. What did you do? Coyote  sang lowly.
“So much to do. No time to do it.
So much to do. No time to do it.”
Paul face changed when he face to face with Coyote. And he fall to the carpet. Coyote goes to the door and locked all the three deadbolts. He dragged Paul to the center of the floor. Paul begins to beg for forgiveness. Coyote put his face close and whispered. Do you want to dance with the devil? You like giving pain? You will find and know hell on earth before I’m finished. He goes to the kitchen and find a 2 pound head hammer. He told Paul. It is skill to keep a man alive when you slowly break every bone in his body. Coyote began with the feet. Hitting each foot with force. Paul wanted to scream but the drug stop the ability to yell. He break the bones in the knees next and Paul  tried to pass out. Coyote goes to the kitchen and he pour a large glass of water. He pour water on Paul’s face. He awoke to a smiling Coyote. He pound the  fingers then the elbows. After three hours Paul is falling in and out of a coma.
 
He  goes to his head and twist till he can hear the neck breaking. The police called Tiffany early in the morning. When she arrived a group  of reporters were hanging around. She knew it must be a mess for interest in a drunk. She walked in and see Paul laying in pieces and she turned away. A young police officer report to her, he was torture for hours. Who would do this? She said. I don’t know if I would want to meet the man who could do this? She asked the officer did anyone see anything? He directed her to Laura across the street. Laura told her about a old man who was here drinking coffee this morning. Tiffany asked how old was the man? Laura smile and she told her. I think about eighty and couldn’t walk too good. Tiffany asked where is the girlfriend? Laura smiles and look into the eyes of Tiffany. She is in a better place. Tiffany smiles for she heard the serial killer was big and black. He was young and strong. Now old and can’t walk.

She advice Laura. You can go to jail for not telling the truth. Laura asked. Did Paul suffer? Tiffany asked. Would you feel better if he did? Laura said. I wish only that I did it along time ago. Coyote dreams were getting worst and he felt the  woman close to him. His dreams now are filled with old Naguals around him telling him to stop and praying for him. He knew he lost control and now he needed to kill. He pray to the gods of life and death allow me to go home to Mt. Olympic to heal.
