Blake sets the shower to its highest temperature, turns it on, and-avoiding all contact with the steaming water-swivels the showerhead toward Ken's face and chest. Blake half-opens his robe: the electric shocks have left no trace. Blood immediately starts to spread, viscous and scarlet as nail varnish. The delivery man rings the bell just as Ken is getting out of the shower.īlake then jams stun batons into his chest, knocking him to the ground. He arranges for a pizza to be delivered to Ken's apartment. For three weeks Blake watches and puts together his plan. Blake will buy his weapons in bitcoin, a cryptocurrency whose movements can't be traced. He'll learn how to dismantle and reassemble a Browning 9 mm and a Glock 43 in a few seconds. Blake will learn everything from knife throwing to bomb making, and extracting undetectable poison from jellyfish. It pays for a laptop, a camera and a telephoto lens. What Blake likes more than anything else is cooking, because of idle moments spent writing a recipe. He aims swiftly and accurately, he can adapt to the crummiest old rifles, the most misaligned shotguns. Killing is also about skill.īlake finds that he has all the requirements the day his uncle Charles takes him hunting. Once you have it, the rest just falls into place. Blake can do all that, and he's been doing it so long he can't remember when he started. A state of mind, if that makes more sense. Killing isn't a vocation, it's a leaning.
