with the tune that echoed through his vehicle. His eyes scanned the ground, the rain made small holes in the snow as it landed. It was as if invisible fingers were piercing the white blanket. The binoculars were raised back to the girl, his eyes followed closely behind.
    ‘ Hello Abby……….my little Abby’ the words whispered, his breath appearing and steaming the lenses of the viewing aid.
    His heart pounded as she gazed up and peered through her window, her green eyes watching as the rain soaked the glass. For a moment their eyes met.
    ‘Helloooooo……….smile for meeeeeeee’ he begged.
    The beeping tone from his wrist watch told him he had been stationary for fifteen minutes, nooooo, five more minutes……no more……no less!
     
    The first night was always exciting, the chance to view his new victim in her comfort zone……her safe place. The rush of the hunt coursed through his veins, he could barely sit still and felt the urge to fidget, but he fought it. He watched, knowing she couldn’t see him, knowing that nobody could see him, he felt invisible. Like a ghost haunting its chosen prey.
    The light coming from the road caught his eye. He repositioned himself and sunk lower into the seat, his eyes watched as the headlights crept closer. The approaching vehicle was moving cautiously, he willed it to move faster; his special time was coming to an end and he disliked interruption.
    ‘Faster, come on…..faster… ..fasterrr…..fas…terrrrrr’ the words dragged out into a groan as the car passed by. He shuffled back to the original seating position and moved his attention back to Abby.
    ‘FUCK !’ his scream surrounded him. Her light had been extinguished. He had missed the last few minutes of their special time. He felt his body fill with rage, it drowned him slowly and he slapped the palms of his hands against the steering wheel, welcoming the pain it brought.
    The engine growled softly as he turned the k ey, his headlights remained off and he only switched them on when he felt safe, safe from suspicious eyes. The van rolled cautiously from its parking space, his eyes searching for one more glimpse of his prey. Please, please, pleeeeeeease……..! He gave up and focused on the road ahead, the wheels crunched into the snow as he placed his foot down on the accelerator. He longed for the girl, his new girl. Images of her soft skin and radiant hair flooded his mind. She was like a piece of art, such a beautiful piece of art……my lovely loveleeee Abbeeeeeee. He needed her heart.

    J ack’s elbow connected with Nathan’s arm, the gentle touch aimed to waken him, ‘You still asleep?’
    Nathan groaned to acknowledge the question. He shifted his weight onto another part of his backside and leant against the plastic body of the plane.   ‘Hey Nathan’
    ‘What?’
    ‘You should wake’
    ‘Why?’
    ‘We’ve landed!’
    His eyes peered open cautiously. The passengers had climbed to their feet and began claiming their carry-on luggage. He sat up and rubbed his face with the palms of his hands, Jesus that what quicker than I imagined. He hadn’t noticed the multiple rocks and body jerking movements the plane had created when landing, his mind sat elsewhere, somewhere warm and tranquil, he had missed the chance for an alcoholic nerve calmer but now that they were safe on the tarmac of Heathrow Airport, his body stopped yearning for the drink. The buckle slammed shut as he released the male end of the seat belt, imitating the jaws of a crocodile. He climbed to his feet and crouched to avoid clashing with the overhead storage. Jack stepped out onto the aisle to allow his friend to pass. Nathan nodded the appreciation.
    The chill gripped his body as the doors were opened, he noticed the other pass engers feeling the same effect. He watched as some pulled their coats tighter against their bodies. I should have brought a fucking coat. Jack leaned in behind him.
