Claude sighed as the headlights that had been following him for over a half hour turned off the road. He was certain they were not actually following him but caution was always necessary after leaving the burial site.
This latest trip had been very satisfying. She had been so trusting when they met on the street. Claude felt his manipulation skills had gotten even better in the last few months. It took almost no time to convince her to get into the car.
He thought back on how smoothly the whole ritual went. From start to finish there were no delays or disruptions. It was almost like she had been a willing participant in the activity.
Claude smiled as he pulled into the driveway. He had made good time. He would be able to get some extra sleep before the events of the new day.
There was movement in the back seat. Claude tried to turn around but something held him in place. He felt his energy seeping away. It couldn't end like this, there was too much left to do.
The back door opened and the stranger got out. The stranger pulled the knife out of the back of the seat and closed the door.
