'If you take care of Bell tonight, we could leave tomorrow.' He headed
back to the door. 'No, we're leaving tonight. Pack your things and
bring them with you when you meet me outside of town. You know
where.
' 'Yes, ' she called out. 'I wish you could go with me to see the
judge.
It would amuse you to watch.'
'You know I can't be seen with you in this town. Every one knows me
here, and they might start wondering how I got hooked up with you.
I'll be in the courtroom.'
'Yes, I know.
Where should I go now, straight to the courthouse? ' 'Go to the
sheriff's office. He'll take you to the courthouse.' After giving the
order, he pulled the door closed. He was surprised by the twinge of
regret he felt. He was going to kill her, and he was surprised that he
actually felt sorry for her. Then he started thinking about how he
would kill her tonight, and within minutes he was hard and throbbing.
All feelings of remorse vanished. He would keep her alive for as long
as he could to prolong his own enjoyment, and he must remember to gag
her so no one would hear her screams for mercy.
It was a pity really. He had considered taking her with him and then
decided against it. Rebecca was such a striking woman she drew
attention wherever she went. The flawless beauty made her a risk
because everyone, even strangers, remembered her.
He would miss her though, for he doubted he could ever find another
woman with such a twisted sexual appetite.
He jerked the door open again, walked inside, and began to unbutton his
pants.
'No, Donald, ' she cried out as she backed away from him. Her face was
already flushed with excitement and fear. 'There isn't time.' His
laugh was harsh. 'There's always time.' Rebecca didn't arrive at the
jail until one-thirty that afternoon. It had taken almost two full
hours to pull herself together after she and Donald had finished with
one another. Fortunately, he'd let her take her dress off before it
was ruined. She was still hurting, but she wasn't upset about it
because pain would make her look all the more vulnerable and
frightened.
