Chapter 37
RYAN WAS RESTLESS AND antsy. The Gambler killing had gone perfectly according to plan, and he’d gained some satisfaction from it, but the cops had interrupted the big reveal to the victim’s husband, robbing him of a key part of the thrill. He was on the prowl again, scoping out a suitable prospect for his next victim. He’d been out the last few nights searching without success and his dark need was pushing its way to the surface, driving him on and on to find his next victim.
He’d moved Downtown for his search and was starting out with a meal in a diner when he saw a sleazy guy with slicked back hair, a gold front tooth and a wedding ring on his finger, chatting up a waitress. Ryan’s radar was up, and he figured him for a suitable target, so decided to stalk him. Ryan quickly finished his meal and followed his target out of the diner and shadowed him to his workplace.
The man was a night manager at the Grand Hyatt in DC. Ryan followed him inside and snuck into the housekeeping area, keeping a watchful eye. He observed the man hitting on the housekeeping staff and overheard him talking to one of his buddies. The man talked about needing s*x all the time, multiple times a day. His friend called him a scumbag for cheating on his wife, to which the man shrugged and said, ‘Hey, what can I say? I’m a s*x addict, it’s not my fault if I need it all the time. And don’t worry, there are lots of women out there who want a piece of this,’ pointing down at his groin. ‘There’s been no complaints yet, my friend. It would be a crime not to satisfy these women. And don’t worry, there’s plenty left in the tank to keep my wife Bonnie satisfied.’
This verbal exchange signed the man’s death warrant. Ryan felt a surge of excitement at finding his next victim.
The Cheater.
