Meanwhile at the Fiasco Hotel, Riley had already found his next victim. His target this time was an elderly person so he simply waltzed into the room and used Chloroform to knock out both the husband and the wife with little resistance. He dragged the female counterpart into the bathroom and closed the door. As for the male, he strapped him onto a chair using zip ties and gagged him. When the old man came to, Riley was about to use the Ling Chi on him but first he prayed:

"Father, I release this soul from this Earthly realm and I ask that you receive him with open arms. For through me your helper, his sins will be absolved. Amen"

Finishing that prayer, he was beside himself with joy for he was about to get to his Divine work. Singing the song "Oceans (where feet may fail) Riley set aside his Butchers knife and trusted ceramic blade. On the floor he laid a plastic, placed the armchair on top and wore a raincoat so as to cover his tracks. A shallow cut using the ceramic blade was the first act. Normal people are familiar with the aroma of tasty food and flowers but nothing beats the scent of blood in the air, as flesh is ripped asunder. Riley smiled as he said:

"fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of a dying man" taking his time peeling flesh from bone. The old man just sat there sobbing whilst being treated like a worthless mannequin. After he felt that using the blade was getting old, he switched and started using the butcher's knife. Riley could feel an erection coming and with a warped smile he said:

"Let's see what we can do about these hands of yours that willingly act against our Father's teachings." Looking at the old man's small finger, he wondered if slicing it up would make it look like sausage ring slices. In an instant he had severed it from the owner but to his disappointment only saw blood spurting about. To correct his error he chopped off all the fingers on the left hand and had broken a sweat.

"Phew, my work is quite tough but I have to endure, what do you think?" Riley said looking at the dazed being in front of him. Through the whole ordeal the old man had been alternating between consciousness and unconsciousness. What a wonderful time it was, just slicing and dicing his prey. He felt so accomplished and would bet that there is no job as exhilarating as his. To put the cherry on top, all he had to do was to take his parting gift. Adrenaline had kicked in because unlike his last victim, this time the eyes would be taken from a breathing body. Grabbing the ceramic blade he tilted the chair so his victim lay on his back.

Caressing his prey with the blade he thought that the Right eye looked as though it would pop out of its socket. So as a caring guy he decided to give it a hand, or should I say blade. Surpassing the pain threshold that living beings can endure, it was lights out for the old man as Riley like a little child digging for seashells finally pulled it out. Taking out the left eye was easier without all the wiggling.

Untying the old man, he carried him onto the bed and then dusted off his prints and took the plastic bag with blood stains. Peeking into the bathroom he found the blindfolded old lady still lying on the floor. His last words were "this is enough fun for today" and left.

Unexpected spectator

Hell-bent on exacting revenge, Zack had been scouting the hotel for the whole day because he suspected that his attacker knew his way around the place a little too well. Seeing that Riley was about the same height and build of his attacker he asked around about him and even got his home address. He put a tracker on his car but still needed some definitive proof that he was the murderer. Luckily he was around to see the stop made in the old couple's room. After seeing Riley leave, Zack called for a worker there to check and see if the people inside were okay because he had heard a fight that sounded like the clash of the god's ensue. The worker soon found the deceased man and weeping lady in the bathroom. Having his doubts eradicated and his hopes satiated, Zack went back home to prepare for the outing he would have at night.

He opted for a stakeout at Riley's house and like a scorpion ready to sting to death he waited until all the lights went off. Moving in the shadows, the minimal security did not stop him from breaking into the house. Straight for the bedroom he went as he had already cased the place, to find a snoring Riley enjoying his slumber. Zack laid his eyes on him, all the unbridled rage he kept inside enveloped him and he knocked him out right on the spot. When he finally came to he saw "The one that got away" hovering above him as he was tied up.

Zack decided to let loose for a while. He punched Riley hard till his face looked like a swollen chimpanzee. Then the questions came:

"I have to ask, out of all the other people you could have killed. Why did your kill my Portia?" Riley enjoying the guts of all that Zack had done decided to answer truthfully:

"I know all about your relationship Zack, I bet you think she was still a virgin too. You poor sod. She lied to you all those years. I even had a list of all the people she had slept with and they numbered 8. She committed what I consider a Cardinal sin. It is my duty to purge any and all that dishonor my God's wishes."

This shook Zack to his core as the realisation of the betrayal that befell him finally sunk in. He replied sobbing:

"So you are basically a heretic. What about the old man you killed in cold blood?" the reply was:

"That old man was a pedophile which was truly revolting. His continued existence tainted the pure world that my Father created. Simple as that, do you dare stand against one of his devoted servants."

Zack sick to his stomach then continued beating him senseless but could not take his life. He decided to call the IPA so they could take him in for he was recording all that Riley had said. The case was served to them on a silver platter and when Captain Fin asked Zack about what had happened he said that he was kidnapped and brought to the house but overpowered Riley and fought back against the monster. As the IPA was taking all the evidence something within Riley finally broke and as he had wasted his life he vowed to have his way with any unfortunate woman that would cross his path...…..(T.B.C. in Vol 2)

This served as a great escape for me: my own
