It was an almost poetical day
Warm rain was pouring out of the heated clouds
And rivers steamed like spa’s
A lorry driver had been killed on the motorway
He had skidded in the heavy rain
And his lorry had blocked all four lanes
The city had fallen into gridlock
Lucy felt strangely excited by this
A wealthy Jew had been stabbed to death during a robbery
Police had not ruled out a racial motive
Annie had never understood why the Jews were persecuted
For she had always found them most agreeable
She had a friend called Esther
Who she occasionally slept with when her husband was away
Ricky stumbled across the road
He was carrying a bag
In a rather clumsy fashion
A silver bracelet fell into a puddle
Be careful you are dropping everything
Ricky stopped to retrieve the bracelet
A necklace fell to the ground
Leave it I do not want us to stay here
Darcy left the confines of the bus shelter and began walking in the rain
Leave the fucking jewels otherwise the police will be here
As they walked past a church Ricky handed Yolanda his bag
It was then that she noticed that he had blood on his hands
Did you hit him?
Yeh he came at me with a poker
How hard?
Hard enough
Ricky bowed his head slightly
Tell me the truth
I stuck the old Jew he just went wild
You fucking idiot I told you to run if you were disturbed
He was fucking nutter
Did you kill him?
Dunno
Well in what state did you leave him?
I just stabbed him and stabbed him
The cunt hit me with the poker
Look my shoulder is bleeding
Ricky pulled his shirt back to reveal a bloody bruise
I have booked a hotel room so we can see what you managed to get
What hotel?
The Hotel Splendid
They do not know me
I thought you took your clients there
No I do not use that hotel
We will be noticed and that is what I want
I don’t get you
You are one of my client’s thicko
I have taken you to the hotel for an afternoon of love
Are we going to fuck?
We will not do anything until you have a bath
With you?
That depends
Ricky was lying in the bath
Mary looked at the needle which he had discarded in the bin under the sink
His dagger was on the floor
She picked it up and looked at the handle
This was most probably the last thing that the old Jew had seen before he died
Annie climbed into the bath and sat hunched between Ricky’s legs
She looked at his limp dick which was as drugged as he was
Ricky opened his eyes and smiled
He was staring at eternity
Close your eyes you oaf and I will do something special for you
I promise you will enjoy it
Chrissie climbed out of the bath
Just keep your eyes closed and I will take you to where you have never been before
Without a thought Bridget thrust the dagger into Ricky’s chest
She felt a rib beak as it penetrated his heart
He opened his eyes
For a moment
But did not see her
His eternity had arrived
Erin pulled the dagger from Ricky’s chest and rubbed it against her cunt
His blood began to drip from her pubic hair
Theresa felt strangely excited by this
Hilary descended the main staircase of the hotel
She was naked
The receptionist a boy of about twenty was writing on a sheet of paper
Lucy placed her hands on the wooden counter
See the blood I have blood on my hands you know
The boy glanced up and looked her breasts
Your hands are clean madam
But if you need some wipes
See the blood I have blood on my hands you know
Annie walked away from the counter
The boy returned to his duties
Six days later Darcy was sitting in a scruffy café in the centre of Copenhagen
She was dressed in fisherman’s sweater and faded blue jeans but felt out of place as the café was full of toughies in leather jackets
Many sporting extravagant beards
A tall blond girl spoke to her first in Danish and then in English
I am waiting for Lars
Ah Lars the forgotten rich boy
The girl smiled at Yolanda and playfully ran her hand through her hair
Fifteen minutes later a tall boy wearing a leather jacket and filthy jeans walked into the café
He sat opposite Mary
Are you Annie?
Yes
I did not think you would be so pretty
English girls are so pretty
I am Scottish you idiot
Well then Scottish girls are pretty
He turned to the waitress and ordered a coffee
One for you?
Chrissie looked her coffee and shook her head
As Lars turned Bridget noticed a slogan
Written in Danish on the back of his jacket
What is written on your jacket Lars?
Do you not speak Danish?
Not a word
It says cunts are useful
I am not a cunt
I like it you are a real toughie
Yes I am the hardest man in Copenhagen
Really?
No most of these guys would make meat of me and some of the girls too
Did you think of the joke yourself?
What joke?
Your jacket stupid
Yes
Liar
It was Evans
Who was Evans?
An American girl I fucked last summer
Where is she?
She went home
Would you like to see me naked?
Yes
I need some information
What information?
Where do the rich guys live in Copenhagen?
The Jews?
No not just the Jews
Are we going to rob them?
That’s the general idea
And I get to see you naked
You get to fuck me
Do you do anal?
I do everything
Do you have a sister Lars?
Yes
Then I would fuck your sister
You could watch or join in
Would you like that?
My sister is a nun
All the better Lars
The rich boy lay lifeless in the bath
Erin stood over him
There had been no need to use the dagger
She had strangled him
There was a knock at the door of the hotel room
Room Service
Therese wrapped herself in a towel and answered the door
There was nobody there
She looked at the suitcase on the bed
It was full of money
Jewish money
Danish money
Lars had idolised Charles Starkweather
She had been his girl
For three weeks they had terrorised Copenhagen
Six people were dead
All Jews
Police had not ruled out a racial motive
Hilary had never understood why the Jews were persecuted
For she had always found them most agreeable
She had a friend called Esther
Who she occasionally slept with when her husband was away
Lucy pulled the dagger from Lars chest and rubbed it against her cunt
His blood began to drip from her pubic hair
Annie felt strangely excited by this
For she had strangled him
Darcy entered the police station through its main doors
She was naked and smiled at the CCTV cameras
That were recording her entrance
A cop was writing on a sheet of paper
Yolanda placed her hands on the wooden counter
See the blood I have blood on my hands you know
The cop glanced up and looked her breasts
Your hands are clean madam how may I help you?
See the blood I have blood on my hands you know
I am the Jew killer that you are all hunting
Mary walked away from the counter
The cop returned to his duties
She sat on a plastic chair and crossed her legs
Her train was not due to nine
She pulled a revolver from her handbag
For she had time to kill
