The Big Bad Wolf (Alex Cross 9) - Page 57
Sphinx 3000: One glorious night of ecstasy and wild abandon . . . just one night.
Sterling 66: And then?
Sphinx 3000: I’m going to dispose of her. Now, do I get my goddess?
There was a pause.
No answer came from anyone.
What was going on? I wondered.
Of course U do, answered Wolf. Just be careful, Sphinx. Be very careful. We’re being watched.
Chapter 81
I WASN’T SURE how to react to the Wolf, or his message to Sphinx. Should I speak now? Did he know we were on to him? How could he?
Sterling 66: Now what’s your problem, Mr. Potter?
This was my chance. I wanted to try and draw out Wolf if I could. But could I pull it off? I was aware that everyone was watching me in the operation room.
I don’t have a problem, I typed. I’m just ready for another boy. U know I’m good for it. Haven’t I always been?
Sterling 66: UR ready for another boy? U just recently received “Worcester.” About a week ago?
I typed: Yes, but he’s left us.
Sphinx 3000: That’s very funny. UR so cute, Potter. Such a cute psycho killer.
Sphinx didn’t like Potter, did he? I had to assume the feeling was mutual. I typed, I love U too. We should get together and bond in person.
Sterling 66: When U say “He’s left us,” I assume U mean that he’s dead?
Mr. Potter: Yes, the dear boy passed. I’m over my grieving, though. Ready to move on.
Sphinx 3000: Hilarious.
This bickering was starting to get on my nerves. Who the hell were these sick bastards? Where were they? Besides cyberspace?
I have someone in mind. I’ve been watching him for a while, I typed.
Sphinx 3000: I’ll bet he’s gorgeous.
I typed: Oh, he is. One of a kind. The love of my life.
Sterling 66: U said that about Worcester. What city?
I typed: Boston. Cambridge, actually. He’s a student at Harvard. Working for his doctorate. Argentinean, I believe. Rides polo ponies in the summer.
Sterling 66: Where did U bump into this one, Potter?
The next tidbit I’d gotten from Homer Taylor himself. Actually, I did bump into him. He’s so firm.
Sphinx 3000: Where did you meet him? Tell, tell.
I typed: I was at Harvard for a symposium.
Sterling 66: On?
