25 EPILOGUE

Vera's Residence

10:48

Caesar decided to drop in on Vera before he too k off for Lagos. The door opened slowly to his rather pensive knock and she stood before him wearing a long nightdress that made no attempt to conceal anything.

"Hi", she greeted laconically and smiled rather coldly at him.

"Just came to say goodbye," he said a bit nervously, feeling an odd chill in his bones, "Can I come in?"

"Sure."

He followed her swaying hips into the place that he knew already too well and would probably remain in his memory for a long time.

"Make yourself comfortable. I'll be right back." She went off to the bedroom.

Caesar drifted absent-mindedly into the kitchen to fetch himself a glass of water. As he entered the first thing that struck him was the immaculate cleanliness of the room. Then the strong smell of disinfectant.

A feeling of Deja- vu washed over him. Where had he experienced such before? Yes. A year ago in Mel's kitchen. He shook his head and went back into the living room deciding he wasn't thirsty anymore.

She soon came back but by then Caesar just wanted to go. He was feeling cold and he couldn't understand it. She seemed surprised to find him still standing.

"On your way?" she asked softly.

"Yeah. I really have a long way to go. Come over here and kiss me goodbye."

She obeyed. She was nowhere as pretty as Isabelle was but hers was a more passionate encounter. Caesar released her with difficulty. He suddenly found himself tongue-tied. There was so much he wanted to say but he was speechless. She broke the ice instead.

"I saw something about you in an old paper," she said quietly, "It was about the murder of Peter Marquis. The paper said it was you who found the dismembered body and actually ran into the killer. What happened to her?"

"The British police are still hunting for her. She's wanted for fourteen murders of black bachelors in England."

"My goodness. You were lucky to get away alive."

"A miracle. Someone must like me up there."

"Yes." She smiled at him.

"Well I'll be off." He told her his address. "Visit me sometimes."

"I will." They kissed once again and Caesar left.

As he entered his car he could feel her eyes burning holes into his back.

I watched him enter his car and saw him give me a last glance before he drove off. I watched him till the Benz went round the corner. I felt a surge of fury course through my veins. If he had only stayed a little longer I could have dealt ruthlessly with him. Nobody humiliated me like that and got away with it. How dare he tear my blouse like that!

Hmm. Maybe I will drop in on him one day.

I closed the door.

Well, first things first. I had a whole new life ahead to plan.
