criminals. None of that mattered to Nicolai. Even sitting in general population with his enemies no one dared to bother him. Who would with his reputation? Nicolai Altukhov, the man who has killed more people than cancer.
    No one exactly knew exactly how many deaths were from his hand, no one except Nicolai that is. He remembers them all. From his first death at eight years old to the one he currently sat in prison for. The only problem was he chose the wrong victim, a deputy’s daughter. He didn’t have a choice. She had seen him and would have told the authorities. And he would have never been able to get to the deputy. Then his vengeance would never have been completed. It still wasn’t completed, but soon it would be. The deputy’s daughter was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and he couldn’t pass up his prize.
    Nicolai wasn’t like any killer. He lived for the kill, he revealed in it. They say that meth gives you the best high. But for Nicolai, killing was his meth. He knew there was something wrong with him. Everyone could sense the aura that surrounded him. Rumor had it that death followed wherever he went. Everyone knew he was no good…everyone except her. She was the one who believed in him. It was because of her that brought him to the deputy that night.
    “Nicolai Altukhov, it is time,” the prison guard shouted. “It’s time for your sentencing.”
    As Nicolai stood up, the other prisoners got out of the way. No one wanted to be near him. Even the Russian enforcers knew to stay away from. They had learned the hard way that he was not to be messed with.
    “Guard, last time you put the chains on to hard. You will loosen them up this time.”
    “Of course, “the guard said adjusting the handcuffs “Is that better?”
    “Much better. Tell me, how packed is it in there?”
    “You have brought in a full room. Lots of people have come to see your sentencing. They are even standing in the back.”
    “That is good, real good. How is your sister doing? Is that guy bothering her anymore?”
    “Not at all, thank you for helping me with that,” The guard mentioned as he handed Nicolai a sharp object. “Here is that item you requested. The deputy will be diagonal from you, a few feet away. You know you didn’t get it from me, right?”
    “I won’t tell a soul,” Nicolai said, and then, thinking to himself, today I finish what I started long ago.
    Nicolai was escorted into the courtroom and he began looking around at the spectators. As he was lead to his chair, he saw the deputy exactly where the guard said he was going to be. And behind the deputy Nicolai saw a man that looked vaguely familiar. He wasn’t Russian. The mad was old but in excellent shape. If it wasn’t for that white hair, he would look like he was just under thirty. Then it hit Nicolai as he sat down. It was the same man who was there the night he killed the deputy’s daughter. Nicolai thought it was his imagination since he was never called as a witness.
    Nicolai was brought back to reality when the bailiff pulled him up to his feet and growled, “You are supposed to rise when the judge enters,”
    It happened again. That man made him forget his surroundings. Nicolai grimaced. If it wasn’t for that man I would have never left behind my DNA. I would have cleaned up better. I am going to talk with him after this show is over. But first that deputy is going to get what is coming to him.
    “Mister Altukhov, we are here to sentence you to life in prison. What do you have to say for it?”
    Here is my moment , Nicolai thought to himself.
    “Well judge, I can still hear that Davalka squeal like a pig that night when I had her underneath me, when I stuck her again and again and…”
    Nicolai was cut off as the deputy jumped to attack him. Just as he planned, he took the shiv out and started sticking the deputy. The shiv being barbed and coated with a poison, the deputy had no chance.

“So are you still going to go with the
