Like all such romances since Romeo and Juliet, someone has to die! *** The little girl looked up in mock earnestness at the man who sat next to her on the park bench. "My mom says you are queer!" Then she giggled. She pulled the skirt of her summer dress up another few inches along her slender thighs and swung her legs. She appeared totally unaware of how sensually provocative the action was, but the wild mischief radiating from her deep blue eyes convinced the man that she really intended to arouse. The look of surprise on his face was almost entirely pretence. "Weird? Me? What's weird about me?" "Queer!" corrected the girl. "Not weird! Homosexual! Gay!" Linda giggled again. "Ponsy! But I don't think you are." She corrected herself instantly. "No, I don't just think it; I am sure!" "Well, that's a relief!" exclaimed Garth Bartold. He let his breath escape with a long drawn-out hissing sound. "And what, may I ask, makes you think I am not gay, queer, homosexual or ponsy?" She gave the question serious consideration. "All the time we have been here," she explained solemnly, "you have not once looked at the men and boys who have passed. And there have been some real bunnies!" She gazed in the direction of a couple of men, bare-chested and in abbreviated shorts, jogging towards them; they had been round the circuit of the park twice already in the time they had been sitting there. She waited until they passed and followed them with her lively eyes. Unconsciously, her fingers rubbed her crotch. Seeing men like that did something strange to her insides. It was the way their firm, muscled thighs moved and how their powerful biceps flexed! "You showed some interest in those women." She pointed at a couple of late-teenage mothers walking with baby carriages now in another part of the park. "And apart from anything else, I've seen you looking up my legs at my panties." She stopped swinging her legs and spread them wide instead. The hem rode another centimetre along the bare flesh. She lifted a foot and rested it on the bench. Another male jogger turned his head towards her, his eyes fixed on her spotlessly white panties. She assumed he saw what she intended him to see. The pretence left Bartold's face. He frowned slightly at the obvious interest shown by the jogger. She seemed gratified by the situation. She loved to rouse men from their usual lethargic, supercilious air of presupposed pre-eminence. He asked, "And did you tell your mother that I examined your underwear?" He let his gaze fasten on the unblemished white of the tight cotton triangle covering her essentials. He was aware of a familiar stirring inside him. He knew that he would be inside her if she as much as hinted that she wanted it that way! "God, no!" The girl sighed; it was a near-contemptuous sound. "She would never let me come anywhere near you if I told her anything like that." She let out another lingering sigh. "Mom tells me things." She grossly exaggerated the emphasis on 'me'. "It's like a crazy one- way traffic system in the city in thick fog during the rush hour at dusk; everyone hell-bent on getting home as quickly as possible and mindless of anyone else." The imagery was quite striking, Garth decided, and the description remarkably coherent for one so young. "It's never a real conversation," she continued after a long silence, "but I don't really mind, because I only half-listen anyway!" She was looking into the distance, day-dreaming about the male joggers. "It is quite flattering to have a man look at you in the way you look at me sometimes. It's a kind of compliment, even though my mom says that grown men should not even think of looking at little girls in any sort of way." She snickered. "I said that if they didn't look at little girls, they might trip over them, or stomp them into the sidewalk, but she never listens to anything I say!" She became pensive again. She licked her lips at the approach of another pair of mature male joggers. She waited until they passed. "You don't look at Elise in the way you look at me! Do you?" She stabbed the last question. "Don't I?" He frowned. The pretence had returned to his face. "Elise?" He knew the girl perfectly well. He knew all the people who lived in the block, perhaps better than they knew each other; it had become second nature to him to know all he could about the people he dealt with. "Elise?" he repeated. "Who is Elise?" His life had often depended on his knowing people. "She lives next floor down from us!" The little girl smiled beguilingly and the man nodded as if to say, "Oh, that Elise!" There were four families living on the floor below. Her eyes sparkled wickedly. "But Elise is not nearly as pretty as me." Elise was the only other girl of comparable age living in the block. "Or as sexy!" And it was quite true, compared to Linda she was downright plain. And utterly devoid of any sexual appeal. Linda had been with the man many times in the park when she went there to play when her mother had clients, much oftener than she had seen him at the luxury apartment block where he lived next door. They met almost daily this way throughout the long summer, and when Linda had school to go to, they met at the weekends. Theirs were the only two apartments on the top floor. Above was the slanted roof, with a wide catwalk inside artificial battlements, and a place for flying the flag on the fourth of July. Below there were four other floors with similar dwellings, either three or four of them to each floor, and at ground level there was the office, the security guard's kiosk and the much smaller apartments where the security men, the caretaker and the office lady lived. There was also a basement laundry room where Linda played when it rained and where one of the security guards occasionally came to tickle her and feel her up. He once stripped her and stuck two fingers into her until it hurt and she started to cry, and he gave her chocolates and some money. It was only rarely that the laundry room was used for its proper purpose, never more than once a week; most people used washing machines and tumble driers in their own apartments. Even the rotary clothes lines on the lawn at the rear of the building were only rarely used. Garth Bartold was a hit-man. Lucille Mayflower, Linda's mother, was a high-class hooker. Garth was at the stage in his career where he could pick and choose his jobs, and mostly he chose not to work; he did not have to - he had made his pile and the block of luxury apartments was not the only thing he had to prove it. He only made hits now as special favors to extremely important, selected clients. The people he did hits for were supposed to be anonymous, but he always made a point of finding out all he could about them before he actually completed the assignment. His precautions had paid rich dividends. Lucille, for her part, had always made a point of picking and choosing her clients, and now, like Bartold, she was seriously thinking about retiring altogether. Among her current clients were a couple of Republican senators, a Roman Catholic bishop and a few priests, the professors of moral philosophy and chemical engineering at the state university, a few businessmen and a heart surgeon from the general hospital in the city who was also a devout follower of a famous television evangelist with whom he had made many public appearances. Rarely now did she have more than one client per day. She felt an increasing obligation to spend quality time with her daughter; these feelings, however, seldom found actual expression, and simply remained as good intentions. Anyway, Linda preferred the man's company. Garth Bartold shifted uncomfortably on the park bench. He rose. "Come on, let's walk and talk," he suggested. "I'll buy you lunch." She nodded agreement. "And after lunch I'll take you deep into the woods and rip your clothes off and make mad passionate love to you." "There are no woods in Dixon Park," she reminded him as she fell into step. She tittered. "It will have to be some place else!" Their lunch was the kind Linda loved best. Garth bought the food and drinks from the cafeteria in the park where they made up picnic baskets for customers. They ate their fresco meal at one of the tables in a grotto secluded from the rest of the park by a high cypress hedge. Occasionally, joggers on the circuit took a break there, and businessmen sometimes sought to 'get away from it all' with their 'secretaries' within the close confines of the isolated grotto. And, of course, the park rangers made regular visits. They had the place to themselves; a couple of teenage lovers rose and left as soon as Garth and Linda entered the grotto with their picnic basket. Bartold said that they didn't have to leave on their account; the pair looked sullen and not in the least as young lovers should. The man shrugged, Linda looked pleased and laid out the contents of the basket. She played the little mother, pouring coffee into his plastic cup and wiping crumbs from his chin with a napkin and fussing around him. And she chattered continuously. "How come you never married?" she demanded, and before he could collect his thoughts to answer, she declared, "I think that's why my mom thinks you are gay - because you are grown-up and single. She says everyone should be married at least once by the time they are thirty. And there are never any women calling on you." She paused for reflection and breath. "But you never have any men callers either. Only the caretaker, and he doesn't count." She prattled on, much as Bartold imagined the girl's mother spoke to her, with no expectation of any intelligent response. Garth had made his first official hit while he was still in a junior high five hundred miles from Dixon Park. The small-time crook who hired him tried to welch on the deal, then tried to blackmail him. The second hit was a lot easier and gave Garth much more satisfaction, and, coincidentally, no-one ever tried to sell him short again. The lesson he learned from the experience was that the professional exterminator must, before all else, keep a low profile. Suddenly Garth Bartold dropped out of the dating scene and entered his senior high as a complete nonentity who passed unnoticed even by teachers. He hardly missed the sexual part of his growing up, because the available material at the time never really appealed to him. He had employed the services of a thoroughly vetted hooker, later in life, and far away from home. It was because of the pressures of his kind of work that he had never married. He could as easily be killed as he killed others, or be arrested and sent to prison for life. But how could he explain these things to a child? It was an extraordinary fact, and one that worried him a lot, but the only person he had ever felt a real sexual attraction for in his entire life so far was Linda Mayflower, the eleven year daughter of a professional whore! The kid had everything he looked for in a female companion. Right, she was nowhere near being fully developed, but she had long, slender legs, indications of breast buds that would never grow out of control, a really pleasant face with revealing eyes and a mouth that had been designed for kissing. French kissing! She had long hair that was a dream to stroke, and velvet soft skin, especially on the inside of her thigh and on her chest and abdomen. She was intelligent too, and seldom talked the kind of puerile rubbish he often heard from the lips of other youngsters. She was well-mannered and always treated him with respect enough not to try to lie to him. As soon as he set eyes on the child, when her mother first viewed the apartment in the company of the caretaker, the office lady and one of the security guards, he sensed trouble deep inside him. Linda was eight at the time and, although they met only in passing when Lucille was introduced to him, the eye contact between man and child had been as ominous and as filled with innuendo as if she had leapt at him, wrapped her long skinny legs around him and kissed him full on the lips. He knew for a fact, in that split second, that he was going to fall stupidly, idiotically in love with this delicate little blossom, and that he would make every effort to take full possession of such a desirable property at the earliest opportunity. But he vowed that he would never force the issue; he would take his time and allow her to initiate any advance. And make any final decision that had to be made. Garth silently and carefully tidied the table. The returnable items he packed in the wicker hamper, the litter he dumped in the trash bucket. He sat down again and gazed his fill at the little girl, now reclining on top of the rough timber table as if she were a photographer's model. She made no attempt to rectify the fact that her thin dress had ridden up to her hips. The man confirmed his previous opinion that the child was blessed with an extraordinarily beautiful body. "Do you really like looking at me?" she demanded. It was as if she were able to read his mind. "Do you really think I am pretty? Would you really like to make love to me?" "Yes I do, yes I do and yes I would! But I think it's time we were getting back." He studied his watch. "Your mother will be wondering.." "She has a client, remember!" interrupted the child with conviction. "You know she's a prostitute, don't you?" She said it as a matter of fact. "I know." The man's answer was brusquer than he intended. "But I don't think you should go around advertising the fact. Saying things like that to just anyone you meet could court trouble." That was one of the things she liked about this man: he never talked down to her, he treated her like an intelligent human being and he always seemed straight and honest with her. "You aren't just anyone, and I wouldn't mention it to anyone else." She swung her long legs round to give him a full frontal view. "I think I'll be a prostitute when I grow up." A sudden sadness swept over the man. He muttered, "Not if I can do anything about it!" He wanted to take her home and set her up on a pedestal. No he didn't! He wanted to take her home and take her to bed. He reflected on the fact that she had never been over the threshold of his apartment. In a way, he was scared to have her to himself on his own home pitch. He wanted her fervently, but he did not want it to be a violent or selfishly motivated possession; he wanted it to be a mutually agreeable and satisfying experience. Again it was as if she read his mind. "I thought we were going to make mad passionate love!" she exclaimed. "I think I would like that!" He laughed. He looked around. "Here?" "Why not? It's as private as you can get in Dixon Park." She followed his scanning of the enclosed space. "It isn't the optimum location for intimacy, not exactly my boudoir, but it'll do!" Again he was impressed by the child's facility with language. She had once told him that she had been answering the telephone for her mother and taking engagements for her since she was five. He could well believe it. "Will you kiss me, then?" she asked when he remained silent. He leaned towards her and pursed his lips. She turned her face away. "Not like that! Yeeeughhh!" She grimaced grotesquely. "That how my mom kisses me." She made it sound like some kind of corporal punishment. "I want kissed in the way that young couple were kissing when we came in here?" Quite without warning she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips with an open mouth and a hyperactive tongue. Their teeth clashed. Almost as an instinctive reflex, the man felt for a breast that was scarcely yet there. He felt her tiny nipples hardening at his touch. Her hips began to vibrate and rotate. His hand dropped to caress the inside of her smooth thigh and worked upwards to rub the crotch of her panties; she was soft and wet under the fine fabric. He broke the kiss. He pressed her back to lie along the picnic table as his fingers explored under the gossamer thin material. She splayed her thighs and he brought his face close to her most secret places and noticed the bruises, one clear thumbprint in each groove on either side of her pubis. Approaching conversation from the far side of the hedgerow broke the spell. Garth lifted the child from the table and brushed down her dress. He spoke in a funny voice. "Vee shall continue zees some ozzer time at anozzer place!" And Linda giggled. They met on the bench in the park at the same time on the following day. "Another client?" he asked as she approached. She nodded. When she sat close to him, he asked quietly, "Was it a client who gave you those bruises on your groin?" She blushed, deep scarlet. She seemed reluctant to reply. He grunted, "If you and I are going to get married someday." She jerked her head round. "You're way too old for me!" "We should start off on the right foot." He ignored her objection. "OK?" He was not smiling. "And I say that the right foot to start with it the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. OK? No secrets from each other. OK?" "What do you do for a living?" she asked unexpectedly. "What job do you do when you go away from home for a week at a time? How do you make your money?" She was not smiling either. "I think if we were to get married, I have every right to know where my next meal is coming from!" "Touchee!" he exclaimed. This kid was bright. He like bright kids. The jogging track seemed busier than usual. Mostly men, but some women, some dressed in the scantiest of kit, expressions of grim determination to enjoy their particular brand of sadism written clearly on their tortured faces, passed the Garth and the girl every few seconds. It was like trying to conduct an intimate conversation on the sidewalk of Callister Street amid the melee of shoppers and office workers. "Could we go elsewhere?" She rose and took his hand. "The maze, maybe. Or the gardens. It's more private there!" "Or the theater," he said. "Do you think your mother would allow me to take you to the theater some time?" They walked away from the jogging circuit. "Maybe we could have dinner, then go to the Coliseum." There was an embarrassing pause. "Do you think she would let you go with me?" "You could always ask her," the girl suggested. "But I doubt it! I told you yesterday, she thinks you are not natural." She reflected on the problem for a few moments. "She thinks any man who is not married by your age has something very much extreme wrong with him." She giggled. "You could always blackmail her, of course!" There was another awkward silence. "You know she is a hooker and she is using your property for immoral purposes. You could threaten her with exposure and eviction." She pulled the man in the direction of the maze - it was a favorite place for lovers. "Or we could elope and get married in Kansas!" She laughed merrily now. "They allow anything in Kansas!". Inside the maze, he lifted her face to be kissed. Her mouth was open, her lips moist. Garth lifted her skirt instead and examined the bruises closely. He had seen something like them on the neck of a man who had been strangled. Any first year student of forensic medicine would be able to recognize them, and bruises like these could lead to a man being jailed for six to eight years. They could even mean a man being killed! Linda gazed down at the crouching man. "It was one of mom's clients that did it. When I told her about it she struck him off her list and told him never to show his face around ever again. She said she would kill him if ever he came near me." Garth Barthold brushed down her skirt. "Aren't you going to feel me?" she asked. "I thought we were going to make mad passionate love." He remained in a crouching position. He looked up at the little girl. He asked quietly, "Did he rape you?" When she nodded, he asked, "Are you going to tell me who did it?" She shook her head. He led her by the hand away from the maze. Both had a premonition that a barrier had been erected between them. As they approached the jogging circuit, he heard her sharp intake of breath. It was the kind of sound made when one receives a shock. Two men were approaching, one dressed in a black track suit, the other in extremely brief running shorts. Garth looked at the girl. She was blushing. "Hi there, Linda!" the man in running shorts called out. He was bare-chested and displayed rippling muscles. There was also a slight bulge around his middle. "Nice to see you again. Regards to your mom!" He made eye contact for a split second with Garth, and smirked. "Well, talk of the devil!" exclaimed Bartold. Linda looked up quickly. There was guilt written large on her face. "I didn't say that he was the one!" "You didn't have to," returned Garth. "I just happen to know things like that. He was, wasn't he?" Linda Mayflower nodded. "You still figuring on marrying me?" "Of course!" Bartold followed the man with his analytical gaze. He would pick him out in a crowd at a distance of four hundred yards. Instinctively he turned his eyes in the direction of his luxury apartment block. Four hundred yards away! "Why? Apart from the fact that you are prejudiced against old people, have you any other objection?" Linda Mayflower sighed softly. "His name is Liam," she said quietly. "Liam O'Neill!" After a while she added, "I liked him. I liked him a lot!" "Until he raped you!" Linda Mayflower did not reply. In the next three days, Garth Bartold learned almost everything it was possible to know publicly about Liam O'Neill. He also discovered that the man was involved in gun-running for Irish terrorists, he had dabbled in the under-age vice of the city until the Mafia gave him an indication that they were not too pleased, he was involved in the heavy drug traffic between Colombia and the East Coast, and he was keeping three city whores busy because of their young female off-springs. O'Neill had also ran on the Irish ticket as a contender for the governorship of the state and was only defeated in the nomination by a rather crooked nose. He had, above and before these sins, left his grubby thumbprints on Linda Mayflower, and for this he had to be removed permanently from the scene. Garth was a patient man. He had long since learned to wait for the optimum moment. It came after another two weeks, the last week of the long summer vacation from school for Linda. O'Neill had taken to the jogging circuit in an attempt to counteract a tendency for his abdomen to become marginally convex. Always, at roughly the same time of day, before leaving his office at the eastern end of Callister Street, he would use his intercom to contact his current bodyguard to accompany him. Bartold, had he chosen to do so, could have listened to every intimate conversation the man had on the intercom with his secretary or on the telephone to his lovers and business associates. Garth Bartold was appalled at how easily he could still intrude on people's privacy and uncover their most intimate secrets. Garth would watch from the catwalk on the roof of his luxury apartments. Then he would take his time and stroll down to meet Linda Mayflower in the park. O'Neill felt the merest kiss against his cheek as the laser found its mark. He put up his hand to brush away what he believed to be a fly, exactly as Bartold had planned it. The laser created an aura around the gold ring on his finger, with something like a comet tail from Callister Street. Still jogging, the looked back and upwards in surprise to follow the direction of the thin streak of green light. The bullet burst into his left temple and blasted his brains to pulp. The body staggered backwards and spun around. The bodyguard was several paces ahead before it dawned on his slow-witted understanding that something was amiss. When he glanced back. O'Neill had already dropped to the ground. The nearest joggers were more than a hundred yards coming and going. He could have no idea what direction the bullet that killed O'Neill had come from. By the time the police arrived on the scene, Garth Bartold was sitting on his usual bench. "Another client?" he asked as Linda approached. "Yeah!" She nodded in the direction of the jogging circuit. "What's going on over there?" Garth glanced in the proper direction. He shrugged. "Who knows!" He took her hand. "Let's have some lunch. I'm hungry!" A hit always made him hungry. He eyed her shapely body. "Then after lunch I'll take you into the woods and ravish you!" She laughed. "I've already told you," she said. "There are no woods in Dixon Park. It will have to be somewhere else!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This story was written as an adult fantasy.
