SUMMARY:
Once in the car Tony begins wondering how this dog managed to save his life with the insight of a non animal being. He is flabbergasted at the dog's intelligence and wearily tells the dog that if he is hungry that there is snacks in the glove compartment. Then he heres some ruffling and when Tony turns back around he sees the dog with a peanut butter granola bar in his mouth. Tony is amazed at the feat, but is then skeptical and tells him self over and over again that someone could have trained the dog to do that before he found him. Then the dog begins barking back at the road giving Tony the sense that what ever was chasing them in the woods is not over yet. He speeds up an continues driving and eventually the dog calms down. At first, Tony was not going to keep this dog, but after he became so intrigued with curiosity at its special abilities, he had to keep it. He knew the dog needed a name, but he wasn't ready to name him just yet.
Nora is now laying in bed reading a book when the phone rings. She is reluctant to answer it but finally does. When she answers the person on the other line says that they have never heard of him. Nora is confused and asks what he means, and the man on the other line says the police department has never heard of an officer as Nora's husband. Nora now knows that the man on the phone is Streck and is stricken with terror. She feels that she should slam the phone down and hang up on him showing that she is not afraid but she can't gather the strength to show him off. Then Streck continues by telling Nora that she is very pretty; however, Nora was always told growing up that she was ugly and shouldn't even waste her time pursuing a man. Nora is disgusted by Streck as he continues making sexual comments, but she is also confused in her mind as to how someone can find her attractive when she sees nothing attractive about herself in the mirror. Nora locks all the doors and grabs a knife from the kitchen and places it under her pillow incase Streck attempts to come into her house at night.
Clem in the meantime has gathered the new information for his next job. He grabs a quick meal and some cofee as he is still on his killing high and then proceeds to drive to the house he is doing the hit at. The target is an older doctor, but his wife is with him and he has a 16 year old son. The wife must be killed because she will be sleeping in the same room, but killing the kid is optional. Clem in his twisted mind though knows that he will kill the kid because he finds the best pleasure in harming children. Clem enters though a back door and goes up into the kids room. He puts the pistol next to the kids head and as soon as he awakens he kills him then he shuts the boys eyelids and kisses him on the forehead. Clem then goes down the hallway into the Master bedroom. The doctor and his wife are sleeping. Clem wakes them up and shoots the doctor in the face. The wife screams at the sight and tries to run, but Clem stops her and ties her up. Then he grousemly takes out a hammer, and then the next scene in the book is him walking out of the house crazy and excited from his duties.
RESPONSE:
This book is good because it is fast paced and exciting. I enjoy the mystery with the dog because I have a dog that is pretty smart but it would be awesome to have a dog like that. Nora's story is kind of creepy, but Clems story disturbs me because the rush he gets after killing victims in my mind is disgusting. I don't like when I read his parts, but it does keep the book going in a speedy way. I think that Clem and Nora will cross paths in this book pretty soon because I could see Clem going for Streck or something. I still can't quite figure out where TOny and the dog fit into this story yet so I'll have to wait and see.
