Time passes, my eyes slowly close on their own.

Beep!

They flash open, and I find a new email has come in.

Bitcoin? Can I just get cash or direct deposit into a bank account.

-Cinnamon

Huh?

Apologies, we don’t have accounts set up for this type of…transaction. It will need to be Bitcoin. But I have another head for you.

-B.L.T.

I’m not handing out a suitcase of money, that sounds like a horrible idea.

Understood. I will get that set up. And sounds good, just give me the details and I will be there. I hope they enjoyed the risotto.

-Cinnamon

My lips quirk at her joke.

Yes, he certainly enjoyed it, a bit too much I would say.

-B.L.T.

Part of me wants to ask her to meet. To have an interaction with the enigmatic woman. The killer who, for all intents and purposes, appears to be an innocent young woman. But I know there’s a deeper and darker motivation living just beneath my skin.

And it is because of that, I send another email before she can respond.

Let’s skip on meeting this time. If you still need the cinnamon, it’s at the restaurant for you. But I will send you the information in the next week.

-B.L.T.

I go to close my screen, but another email comes through, dragging me back.

If possible, can I do more than one head at a time? It’s easier for me that way.

-Cinnamon

I wipe away the cold sheen on my forehead. Her words are unnerving, but I think them through.

Do we want them to know this is targeted? Would it be possible to have her wipe out a few in one setting?

I was planning on leaving all three Aldentes for the end. Let them know it’s coming. But the next target tended to spend time with one of them anyways.

Maybe this would be better.

We can do two at once. Is that better?

-B.L.T.

The response comes back right away.

Two? More would be preferred, but that works.
