Losing Han Ch. 05

"On Han's side, I helped her out with her essays and papers. This gave me an opportunity to gain access to her and her college account. So when she got comfortable with me, she let her guard down. I waited for my chance, and got it one night. Without alarming her, I watched carefully as she entered her student account and I snagged her password. I logged in later when I was sure she was offline and found some carnal letters on her account about some men she had crushes on. I knew it was just fun stuff, fiction for her. But the beginning of a relationship is so tenuous, I thought I could leverage that against you."

Dave smiled, "And it worked! You and Han broke up. You moved away and took up with that redhead of yours at your new job. So, I made sure Han found out about you. And I took her out with her friends to console her. And I brought her back to her home. Oh, she was so heartbroken over your new relationship. She was ripe for the plucking. What a fun few weeks I would have had."

Dave's smile disappeared, "But I underestimated the affect she had on me. She was .... so beautiful. I fell for her hard that night. Too hard really."

Dave eyes turned bitter hard, "I came in my fucking pants, Jack. God! What an embarrassment I was! A man in his thirties, still living at home, seducing high school girls, and when a real women comes a long, I can't even..."

Dave looked away from Jack, "I left home that night. I thought about killing myself. "

He turned to Jack and smiled, "Yeah, yeah, you're thinking I should have. But no, I decided that I if the world was going to treat me like shit for following the rules, then why should I give a fuck about the rules."

Dave smiled but it did not reach his eyes, "So, I hooked up with people who needed things done. Ugly things to nice people. Innocent corrupted and twisted. Crimes covered up and authorities coerced and bought. I sold my soul, you might say, but I have a different philosophy. No one has a soul. We are limited in existence. Bad things will happen and good things will happen. So all a person can do is make sure the good things happen to them and the bad things happen to someone else."

The dawning horror of Dave's depravity hit Jack. So this is what Han was talking about? Oh my poor, innocent wife.

"I won't deny, I became obsessed with our little Han. She was the last connection to my old, pathetic life. My ultimate humiliation. And when she married you that was a spit to my face. That she should ... affect me so and move on her own happy little way."

The bitterness in Dave's voice was venomous.

"So you see, Jack... buddy... compadre... it's not you I hate. It's her."

Dave's face darkened, "Yes, that little cocksucker. I loved her and I hated her for that. I hated that she wormed her way into my head and my heart. I hated her so much, that I took many risks, both to my life and my person just to get back at her."

He looked down at his crotch, "This ten inch member. All the heads of the organization want one of their own. If just to be able to claim dominance over their minions in the locker room. But they're afraid of the drug. Because it has a ninety percent failure rate. And if it fails, you lose it. Not just impotency. It rots off. That's what I risked, Jack. Because if it had failed... well, we probably wouldn't be talking right now. But it didn't..."

Dave smiled, "It's enough to believe in a higher being. And that I deserved more. I deserved your wife. I required you to suffer. My monuments to my old pathetic existence demolished. Now she is my reward, my redemption. She is what makes my actions worth it. I could have any woman now, you know Jack, as beautiful as Han, as many as I wanted. I'm rising in the ranks of a shadow company that feeds the appetites of any taste."

Looking deeper into Jack's eye, Dave said, "But I wanted her. I needed her! And I needed to take her from you and I needed you to know I took her from you! And I will keep taking her from you... for as long as you live. And I want you to live a long time, Jacky boy."

Dave closed his eyes, "And that will make her suffering all the more sweeter."

Jack watched as Dave took in Jack's helplessness at his confession. Could Dave sense the killing rage contained in the inert body laying before him?

Dave opened his eye. "She's strong willed though. I can't believe she disobeyed me today. I'm glad for that though. If I totally made her forget you, then, well what fun would that be? I'll have to be careful about that in the future."

"You see, Han and I are enrolling in a new program. I can't go into the details but it is quite unbelievable. She will be the perfect companion and I'll be a perfect match for her. She'll be mine completely. And she'll hate every second of it."

Dave then shook his head. "Thanks Jack, you're a great listener. Oh, as for the damage to your body the drug did to you. It's entirely reversible."

Dave put his hand into his pocket again and pulled out another vial, "I33. If taken, recovery is expected to be about a few months, with nearly 100% mobility. It's a simple one shot. Why, I could administer it right now."

Dave smiled as he held the key to Jack's recovery in his hand. And then he placed the vial back in his suit.

"But I won't. I made a promise to Han. You will be taken care of. The Woodhouse facility is top notch. The commander and I both know a few of the personnel there. Specifically, a young go-getter, who is a nephew of one of the organization's heads. I'll make sure that this fellow sees to all of your needs."

Dave leaned in to whisper in Jack's ear, "I figured, why should your lovely wife be the only one to get her jollies? You see, you're his type. Helpless."

Dave then pulled back and looked at his phone, "Well, the commander should be just about done by now. Han is really good with her mouth. But you know that."

As Dave stood up, he looked at Jack in the eyes one last time, "So, did you have anything to say to me?"

Frozen in place, Jack tried to focus on Dave's face as best he could. To remember this moment and burn it into his heart forever. When you die, Jack silently uttered, the last thought to go through your motherfucking head will be my name.

"I didn't think so." Dave placed his fingers on Jack's eyelids and closed them. Jack heard Dave walkout of the room. Before the door closed he heard Dave say, "I'll keep in touch. Send you a post card maybe."

Dave walked out of the hospital, just as the rear limo door opened. The commander rose out of the back seat and winked at Dave. Dave nodded as the blond man held the door open for him. Dave got in and sat next to Han, who was wiping the commander's cum off of her face. The blond man closed door and went to the driver side of the limo.

Han heard a phone beep and saw Dave pull out his cell. Dave smiled and said, "It looks like the doddering old fool finally got her."

Dave held the phone up to Han and she felt her gut drop. On the phone was Karen Brown, that sweet, beautiful, innocent girl she had met at the law offices a few months back. The blonde beauty was nude, straddled on some unseen old man's cock, no doubt belonging to Donald S. Waterton, the second. Han could see the mixture of cum and virginal blood dripping from her pussy. And on her face, Karen wore a familiar look of wanton lust and pleasure.

Dave's phone began to ring. He answered it and Han could hear Karen's fiancé's desperate voice:

"DAVE!! DAVE! God damn it! Where is she!?"

Dave smiled coolly, "Kevin? What's the problem?"

"FUCK! I GOT A TEXT FROM KAREN! SHE'S LEAVING ME!"

"Karen? But you guys seemed so happy together?"

Han heard a cry of anguish from the phone, "TELL ME WHERE SHE IS DAVE!! I HAVE TO GET HER!"

"I believe she is with her boss on a business trip, but I don't know where."

More cries came from the phone, "THAT OLD PRICK! HOW... HOW... COULD SHE..! DAVE!! YOU GOT TO HOOK ME UP WITH ANOTHER DRUG! SOMETHING TO ... TO... FORCE HER..."

Dave smiled at Han, "Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. Calm down, calm down. I'll see what I can do. But surely it's not that bad."

As Kevin, sobbed on the line, he muttered, "She... she... sent me a... picture..."

"Kevin. I'm sure it's not as bad as it seems. Listen I'll look into it and call you back."

As Han heard Kevin cry out further, Dave cut him off.

"Sir."

Dave, reveling in the pain he caused, answered "Yes, Bateman"

"We think she knows you are in town. So we are going to take you straight to the airport."

Dave's smile faltered. Looking uncomfortable, he replied, "Yes... hurry."

As Han felt the limo driving off, she looked out the window, feeling lost in an evil world.

--

As Jack lay in his bed, he listened to the rhythmic beat of his heart monitor. He tried to remember the look, touch, and scent of his wife. For memories were all he had left now. Jack also reflected on his fate. Though Dave had not meant to, he had given Jack the one thing he needed to get through his current hellish existence. Hope. His condition was recoverable. So he would have to endure. Whether on his own or through some other means, he would endure until he could come back to himself. Because, as long as he was alive, he had hope.

But hope did not take the pain away. Because for all that was about to happen to him the worst already had passed. Because he had lost his wife. He had lost Han.
