Mistakes are for other people, that's what Father always
said. The day Helen died, he yelled at her for leaving her
new bike in the driveway. Stupidstupidstupid. I can still

bedroom.

It was stupid of me to take so many of the women from
Dempsey's. Convenience is nice, but it can also make you
lazy. The next time I will have to be more careful.

If I were really smart, I would get my ass out of this
hotel before I am recognized. It's a foolish risk to be
here, and I cannot afford stupidity right now.

She looks tired as she checks into her room. Pale and
cold, like the women are when I am finished with them. I
watch as she picks up her bags and heads for the elevators
without even a glance in my direction.
