#Chapter2

The white man moves confidently along the corridor towards his destination, the suit that he’s wearing blends in perfectly with his surroundings of Government House. It is a far cry from the attire that he wore when he paid Inspector Roger a surprise visit in the dead of the night. He turns into an open reception area and informs the receptionists that he’s expected and has an appointment with the man inside.

He enters the spacious office to be greeted by a smile from the man behind the desk, as he rises and extends his hand in greeting. The Rolex slips on his wrist and the claw scar is visible for a second. /"Sean, it’s good to see you and thank you for taking care of that small problem that I had, you did very well and earned your bonus. I see from the police report as well as the papers that a lion has been credited for the killing, which is exactly the impression that I wanted to create./"

/"It was a pleasure Sir, the claws have been fashioned and designed to give the appearance of a lion kill, plus a few hairs of the cat left on his body helped to point the authorities in the direction that we wanted them to go in. It was no problem, and he never even knew what hit him./"

/"That’s good news Sean, you came highly recommended and I feel that it was money well spent. Now onto another small problem that I have and this problem goes by the name of Veronica Strydom. She lives in a little town called Grahamstown and is a lecturer at the university there. I need you to erase this problem for me in the same way you erased the Inspector./"

/"That shouldn’t be a problem Sir; if I travel on a diplomatic visa I’ll be able to get the claws into South Africa without a problem and I should be able to track her down fairly easily./"

/"That’s good to hear, your fee will be transferred to your account in the morning and your visa will be waiting for you at departures along with your air ticket. I take it that you are able to leave in the morning?/"

/"As ready as always Sir, but if you don’t mind, might I ask, what about the man, Piet Van Zyl, if I am traveling that way, why don’t we kill two birds with one stone, as they say?/"

/"Sean, your enthusiasm for your job never ceases to amaze me, but the answer is no, I have special plans for Mr. van Zyl. I intend to make this man suffer for killing my uncle, but first, he’s going to watch as each one of his family and friends die. Then he is going to take a long time to die and end up praying for death to come quickly./"

/"Remind me never to make an enemy of you Sir, do you mind if ask what you have in mind?/"

/"Not at all Sean, Mr. van Zyl is going to be introduced into the dark world of black magic and witchcraft, his wildest nightmares are going to come to life and the terror that he will experience will be far beyond his wildest dreams. He will be begging to die and when he dies, he will die screaming, for he will see the blood demon./"

/"If that’s all Sir I will take my leave, and report back once the job is done./"

/"Thank you, Sean, I look forward to hearing from you./"

Sean leaves the office as the Secretary of State takes his place back behind his desk. He has work to do and Mr. van Zyl will have to wait a few more days.
