THE KILLING TYPE - AGAIN, CHAPTER 4

"PENANCE"

47 lay on his stomach on the slab inside Christie's sauna hut, his head

rested on it's side on top of his folded forearms, besides the towel

draped over the back of his lower torso, he was naked, his suit and

shoulder holsters hung in the hut's other room, which seemed larger

than it appeared from the outside. A faint steam filled the entire hut,

and the increase in temperature was already having an effect on 47,

he was starting to feel tired and lethargic.

"What exactly does she think she's going to do" 47 queried.

"How is a massage going to help", though 47 found the idea of this

beautiful woman running her hands up and down his naked torso

quite appealing, it wasn't too long before he remembered the nightmare

and the once pleasurable thought became a frightening one. It was at this

point that 47 realised just how vulnerable a position he was in. He was

lying virtually naked on a slab, half asleep, in someone else's

home. His weapons and himself were more than a metre apart and he was

in the centre of a room, with no cover, he was open from virtually every

angle.

You fool, what the hell do you think your'e doing, your'e completely

defenceless, completely vulnerable, this could easily be a set up, a

woman whom you barely know tells you to walk in here and wait

for her, naked!!!!, and you do it. How do you know that a thin

wire isn't about to loop around your'e neck and choke the life out

of you???.

"I've lived long enough, I won't be leaving anything behind,................

..........I just don't care anymore,................if she is here to kill me so

what???................If anyone were going to end my life I'd be glad if

it were someone beautiful like her".

Listen to yourself, you were trained better than this, your'e not

supposed to love, you think some monster like you deserves to make

love to an angel like her???. Your'e pathetic.

"Get off my back".

47 lay silently for a few more moments, before the door behind him

opened and closed quietly, Christie strode silently into the steamy

room wearing a flowing silk dressing gown tied with a sash, jet

black with red and green patterns of spiraling chinese dragons.

Moving quietly she opened a nearby cupboard and removed an

insense coil and some rubbing lotions. Though lethargic and half

asleep from the steamy heat of the room, 47 had heard Christie

enter, he hadn't said anything though, he was just waiting for the

inevitable, whatever it may be.

As 47 continued to lay silently on the slab, Christie lit the insense

coil, as it burned a strong scent slowly assimilated with the steam

and the room slowly started to fill with the aroma. The insense made 47

feel drowsier, as if slowly falling into a trance. After lighting the coil

Christie moved in close to the left side of the slab, undoing the sash

of her silk gown she let it slide off her shoulders and fall to the floor,

out of the corner of his eye 47 could see she was wearing the same

one piece she had on in the pool, though it had dried off by now.

"Christie???" 47 finally spoke.

"Shhhhhh" Christie hushed him softly, placing a hand reassuringly on his

shoulder.

"Just relax" she told him as she climbed onto the slab, straddling his lower

torso. Lathering some massage lotion into her palms she gripped the sides

of his lower waist, pressing her thumbs into a predetermined area of his

lower back, 47 felt this, it seemed as if she were deliberately applying

pressure to a vulnerable spot, it didn't hurt or feel specifically unpleasant

but it created a sensation that was definitely captivating. Releasing the

pressure of her thumbs, Christie repositioned her palms close together

and while pressing them into 47's back she ran them upward till she

reached his shoulders. 47 couldn't help but groan under the sensation,

it was obvious to him that Christie knew exactly what she was doing and

she seemed to be very good at it too. As her hands reached his broad

shoulder span she gripped a palm around each of his defined outer

shoulder muscles, pressing her thumbs into another sensitive spot, again

the sensation was niether painful nor unpleasant but it definitely drew

attention. Christie continued to press into the sensitive spot as she

leaned foward slowly, further and further until her head was only

centimetres from the back of his, he could feel her hot breath on his

skin.

"I need you to do something" Christie whispered softly.

"It's difficult for me to ask you this but, I need you to close your eyes

and concentrate, on the people you have killed up until this day, I

understand that it may be difficult for you but when it is all over you

will feel better and I'll be waiting for you......., I promise". She kissed

the back of his neck and returned to an upright position.

With that 47 closed his eyes and, as instructed, concentrated, digging

deep into the nether regions of his sub concious for every death dealing

memory. As he concentrated he continued to feel Christie sensually rub

and grind her lotion covered palms over him, prodding and grinding

several sensitive spots, combined with the aroma within the steam he felt

a surreal, trance like sensation slowly envelope him, he was paralyzed,

even if he wanted to move he couldn't, Christie's probing hands had

complete control over him as they isolated every sensitive spot then

pressed and ground it, completely wearing it out, it helped him ease up

as every tense muscle and sinew in his body felt as if it were being

ground into mush by a pair of petite feminine palms. Slowly the blurred

images in his head started to take focus. He could see the back of a man

sitting at a desk sorting through files, the scene was vaguely familiar, it was

his first kill, he watched as his gloved hands wound and readied a thin

wire, he knew exactly what would happen next, from a crouching position

he crept closer to the man at the desk, then rising to his feet, in the blink of

an eye, the wire was coiled around the man's throat, he choked and

spluttered violently, struggling for his life, but soon the struggling ceased

and his head lay, lifeless, on the desk, he was a young man, probably only

in his mid twenties with an engagement ring fastened on his index finger.

Seeing the vision of himself taking the life of this young, unfortunate man

47 felt a tear run down his face. It was then 47 realised that for the first

time in his life he had shed a tear, both for himself and for another he had

harmed. Soon the office faded and he was in an apartment hallway, a door

ahead of him opened and a woman of around 40, wearing a business suit

stepped out, he advanced toward her slightly and drew a .45 pistol with

an attached suppressor, the woman's expression suddenly became one of

terror as, a millisecond later, he heard the "CHKA", "CHKA" sound of the

pistol's chamber opening and closing as two .45 calibre rounds penetrated

the woman's torso, she crumpled painfully to the ground, writhing and

spasming as she shrieked and howled at the pain of the hollow point

rounds shredding and singing her flesh, standing above her 47 aimed the

pistol at her head and expelled two more rounds into her brain, the woman

spasmed suddenly, as the bullets shredded through her and ruptered her

inner cranium, then lay still. This time several more tears escaped 47's

eyes as his face cringed at the painful vision. Again and again he was

confronted by the memories of all those he had killed, men and women

, so many lives he had mercilessly destroyed, so many others he had

ruined in the process. Soon tears were streaming from his eyes as he

buried his face in his forearms sobbing and weeping like a lost,

abandoned child.

Christie reached around and grasped a hold of 47's right wrist, to pull his

arm behind his back, away from his face. He resisted at first, he needed

his forearms to weep into, he didn't want her to see him cry. Applying

pressure to a sensitive spot on the inside of 47's wrist, Christie was

eventually able to bring his right arm around his lower back, followed

by 47's left arm, there Christie secured both his wrists in her grasp. With

his arms held firmly in place behind him, 47 could do nothing but weep

out aloud, tears streamed off his cringed face and onto the slab beneath

him.

Christie realised the pain she was causing him, and some of her felt guilty

for putting 47 through such pain, but there wasn't much else she could

do for him now other than stay with him while he rode it out. While 47

continued to weep, Christie leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"shhhhhhhhh, it's okay" she comforted him softly.

"don't resist it, let it all out now, you have a lot of catching up to do" she

spoke again, gently resting her forehead against the back of his neck.

47 continued to weep, he did so for some time, and Christie stayed with

him, eventually the tears stopped and 47 finally calmed down, without a

word he rested his head on it's side, breathing deeply. Christie released

her hold on his wrists and they fell, limply, by his sides.

"He's fast asleep" Christie thought.

"Must be the exhaustion, he was crying for almost an hour".

Gently, making sure not to disturb his slumber, Christie climbed off 47,

and onto the sauna floor. She stood beside him for a moment, just

watching him sleep, his body heaving slightly with each breath.

"He looks so gentle, asleep like this" Christie thought.

"Nothing like the person he sees himself as being".

Christie softly brushed away a tear still lingering on 47's eyelid, stroked

his cheek, and kissed him softly on the forehead.

"Sweet dreams lover" She wispered to him, before retying her silk gown

and exiting the sauna, leaving 47 to sleep peacefully.

END OF CHAPTER 4

ANOTHER CHAPTER DOWN. Once again, I hope everyone's enjoying

it. Every other time I've posted a chapter the next one was already almost

done and ready for posting, unfortunately it's not the case this time, at the

immediate time of posting this chapter I've only written about 2 sentences

of the next chapter, I've been going over and over in my head exactly what

will be said and done by 47 and Christie in the next chapter because I see

it as being a very important chapter in which everything must be perfect.

DON'T FORGET TO SEND REVIEWS.

I'd really like to see someone send me a long review in which it is

discussed in depth what they both enjoyed, and maybe didn't enjoy about

a chapter (any existing chapter) feel free to use exerpts of specific chapter

text if you like.
