As Ed Deline
Diego Farina called me yesterday, early evening, as I was in my office at home paying some bills. He informed me of the Martin Young situation and that Jason had killed Martin as Martin was raping Tammi Hanlon. I immediately remembered that Delinda often frequented the spa as well and after a few minute long questioning, Diego informed me that Delinda wasn't there.
That weight off my chest, Diego asked if I'd be willing to help Jason with the body. I agreed and told Diego to call Jason and get a pair of gloves out for me and that I'd bring my Hummer by. As soon as I got there, no introductions needed to be made. I put on the latex gloves that Jason gave me and he and I loaded the body into the back of the Hummer. I told Jason that if he got his prints on the dolly, than to wipe them off and to, as normally as humanly possible, take the dolly back up to the spa and try not to draw any attention to himself. I don't know why I felt the need to be so explicit in my instructions with this kid. I guess it was to partly remind myself that I knew how to do what I was doing.
Once Jason got back down to the car, I started it up and headed into Jersey. There was a little chit-chat on the way. He asked if Delinda was going to take my old apartment at Carnegie Hill and I told him that in light of recent events, she was going to stay at the Plaza. I still need to figure out how and when to tell Xavier.
We got into the pines of New Jersey where I own a patch of about five acres, on which, rested a wooden shed. After getting the body inside, I got a look at the guy's face and was a little creeped out by the fact that his eyes were still open. His body was stiff which indicated that rigormortis had undoubtedly started to set in. We proped him up inside the shed and then I grabbed the can of gasoline and poured it all over the body, inside the shed and splashed it onto the shed itself and surrounding land. Jason lit the match and threw it on and we both jumped back as we watched the place go up in flames.
I need to call Jason later today and see if he wants to go back with me and collect the bones from the place. I know a guy who can properly dispose of the bones in a way that won't be traced back to anybody. I haven't asked him how, but I get the impression that he wouldn't tell even if I did ask.
After we set the body ablaze, I drove back to my home and took a shower and proceeded to do a pretty damn good job of getting drunk. After polishing off a bottle of scotch and tequila, even eating the worm, I was smashed. As I bathed in my drunken state, Xavier called, asking if she could come over. She said that Danny wanted a little more "male bonding" time with LJ. I told her she could come over, but warned her that I was a little drunk and that I would be in the shower by the time she got there. After hanging up with her, I unlocked the door and turned on the light for her and went to shower.
After standing under the shower for about a good forty minutes, I finally came out, starting to feel a little human again. After a few self grooming activities, I went out and Xavier and I talked. She asked me why I was so hungover and I just told her that I had had a bad day, that Jillian and I had had a fight. She seemed to believe my lie.
I hate that I'm starting the same pattern with yet another woman that I care deeply about.
