NECROSIAC 27
"It feels Mobian but it's not. This is much more powerful... not like anything I've seen before. I would be interested in knowing what exactly he came in contact with..."
Terri glanced up at the white ceramic mask of the thin man in front of her and suppressed a shudder.
"It doesn't matter. Can you help him?"
Dr Fester's voice came back high gritty and slightly muffled by the mask which covered the face that had won him his name.
"Yes" He replied "I can feel the Cleric spells trying to ward it off but they're weak. Whoever you had work on him was either very hurried or a complete amateur. "
"Do it"
Fester stood up and rubbed the chin of his mask as if it was his own. Piercing green eyes squinted at her from behind it and Terri found herself wondering if he was grinning or contemplating her. Silently, she cursed her twisted fortune that she should have to place Mattaius and herself at the hands of her sworn enemy. She knew the deviousness of the man in front of her was legendary, but took comfort in the fact that her talent was telling her that he did indeed plan to help.
"Of course" he said as he gave a conciliatory nod of his surgical cap covered head. "I'll begin immediately, but first we need to discuss the small matter of my fee"
Terri pulled the pistol from beneath her jacket almost without thinking and pushed the end of the barrel hard against his hard shiny forehead.
"Do it" she warned.
Fester brought his hands up "Terri... please" he responded condescendingly "There really is no need for this. We both know you're not going to shoot me"
"We do?"
"Yes" he said, his tone almost condescending "You tried that once remember? I don't believe, even now, that you're so different from the 17 year old girl I found in my closet. You didn't murder me in cold blood then and you aren't going to now"
Terri worked the slide on her weapon and replaced it with an audible "Clink" against the mask.
"People change" She growled "I've killed at least 3 times in the last 24 hours. One more life means nothing to me. If you think I'm still that girl then make my dreams come true. Say 'No'"
Fester stood motionless for a moment then dropped his hands to his side and shook his head.
"I think there's still enough of her in you" He responded "I think no matter how much you hate me you won't do it. You haven't changed that much Terri. You're somewhat more melodramatic... granted... but you're no murderer"
"How can you be so sure?"
Fester raised one gnarled finger and pointed towards her.
"You're hands" he said "They're shaking"
Terri looked down with dismay at her treacherous limbs. She had been so caught up in the hate and terror she had for him, that she'd been completely unaware of her trembling.
"Time runs short Terri" he said "This really isn't a good place to listen to the skeleton's in our closet"
As much as she hated it, she knew he was right. The advanced stage of Matt's infection was readily apparent on his sunken face, and every second she took brought him closer to a fate worse than death. Once again, she looked at the disquietingly expressionless mask in front of her and tried to come up with the words that would put her in control of the situation, but came up empty.
Fester stepped towards the end of the table and placed a gloved bumpy hand on Matt's forehead "I can help him. You know I'm telling the truth..."
She asked her next question even though her talent was already telling her the answer.
"What's your price?"
"I think you know that as well but I'll answer. My collection is incomplete. I want the last piece"
"NO!"
"Fine" he replied angrily "Take him to the hospital. If you have a helicopter parked outside you might make it in time but I doubt it"
Fester turned his back to her and started towards the door separating the instrument cluttered examination room from the rest of his home.
For a second Terri fought an urge to pull the trigger as the darkest parts of her screamed for revenge. She wanted more than anything to send the bastard who'd destroyed her family to hell and take her chances with driving her partner back to the Agency. She felt her finger tighten on the trigger, while memories of her father screaming Fester's name in the night replayed in her head, but a sudden spasm from the body between them replaced her hate with a sudden overwhelming fear for Mattaius' life.
"Wait"
Fester turned around and raised his palms questioningly.
"OK" she said quietly "I'll do it. I'll give you what you want but you heal him first. You make him as good as new or, so help me god, I'll torture you to death. I'll replay every sick thing I've seen in the last ten years on what's left under that silly Phantom of the Opera contraption you're wearing"
Fester nodded once and returned to the table. She could see his eyes were squinting again and she knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was smiling.
"Fair enough" he said "And after our deal is done, what then? Will you drop your childish vendetta and leave me in peace?"
"No" she replied between clenched teeth "One day I'll return. One day you'll mess up Fester. Laws will be made concerning what you're doing or you'll make a mistake and get caught. As soon as that happens I'll be here to arrest you and you'll be shot escaping"
"You really do intend to kill me don't you?" he asked.
"Yes"
Fester's eyes widened a moment as if, for the first time, he understood the truth behind her threats. For a moment they stood in stark contemplation of each other until finally he raised two fingers in a peace symbol and spoke.
"Fair enough" he said matter-of-factly "I can't blame you for feeling the way you do. Who knows, perhaps in time you will learn to view me differently"
"Don't count on it"
Fester placed his hand back on Mattaius' forehead and replied. His voice became distant as he put the majority of his mind to the task ahead "Stranger things have happened in our world. We'll be spending a great deal of time together over the next little while after all"
"Time? How much time?"
Fester glanced up quickly then went back to examining his patient.
"I would say a week to a week and a half recovery time for this one. Your procedure could take as long as 4 days... I should be able to find the time for both operations during that period though... 2 weeks at the longest would be my estimate, less if you help me with him"
As much as Terri wanted to argue, she knew from reading his intentions that he spoke the truth.
She did her best to swallow back the bile rising in her throat then responded defiantly "If you think I'm going to stay here..."
"I really don't know why you fear me so much" he interrupted "You're the intended murderer after all. There's a spare room down the hall to the right or I can set up a cot in here. Either way, if you want to get his over with, those are your only choices"
Terri made her weapon safe and holstered it then looked down at her partner and sighed.
"Alright" she replied dejectedly "What do you want me to do"
Fester reached up and pulled his mask away, revealing the oozing sore's that marked the devastation of his round hairless face.
"Nothing this minute" he replied cheerfully "Just sit back for now and watch a master at work"

There are a solid four pages of +2 streaks with 30 or more reviews. That is stupid. I am weeding it all out by giving every one of them a +1; that way posts that have 1.99 with 200+ reviews gets best ever.

The whole car washing comment has conjured images of 3 girls, white t-shirts, suds, nipple stands and Snark watching from a lounge chair.
Picture it......piiiiiiiicture it......
I think we can all agree that certain household chores would be beneficial to our goal of sexual debasement. Or sex in de basement. whatever.

Oh no, you CLEARLY stated that you would be doing household chores and washing his car. I was merely stepping into the spot that you just vacated.
But I, for one, would be willing to entertain the idea of a foursome instead...
