Twisted Mind

He stared up at the angels on the ceiling, awed by the magnificent masterpiece. The sudden footsteps startled him and he spun around.

β€œGregor,” he said with a nod of his head, stepping forward, but not offering his hand.

The other let the outstretched hand fall back to his side.

β€œWe spoke on the phone,” the man named Gregor said, nervously balling his fists, unsure what to say.

β€œYes,” he simply replied. β€œYou know what you have to do?”

He nodded, not wanting to admit that the task petrified him.

β€œCome back here in twenty-four hours when the deed is done. The body,” he said, almost as an afterthought, β€œdispose of that as you wish, but make sure no one finds out. Leave no fingerprints.”

Gregor nodded again, more eager this time, wanting to please his superior. β€œOf course, of course.”

Then he left the church, wondering what a sick mind would choose such as place to discuss details of a murder.

Back in his car, Gregor switched on the ignition and immediately radioed his real superior back at the FBI.
