Prologue
The dentist’s office, being the place of business for one Dr. Gary Reynolds,
DDS, occupied what had once been a single-family ranch-style house, one
that had seen better days. Located right on the border between Burlington’s
commercial and residential neighborhoods, it suffered from the beginnings
of neglect. None of the deferred maintenance had yet reached a truly
extensive level, mostly consisting of peeling paint, degrading roof shingles,
and weatherproofing that was beginning to be less proof and more
weathered.
The dark of deep night hid most of the negligence; not even the light from
the rear employees’ bathroom illuminated more than a few peels of loose
paint. As the night concealed the damage on the outside, so too did the
closed doors and unlit rooms of the building, at least for a few hours, cover
the damage strewn about the inside.
A shower ran in the little three-quarters bath, the sounds of contented
humming interwoven into the splash and trickle of running water. In the rest
of the office, other liquids and some semi-solids ran down walls and over
almost every available surface. Concentrated mostly in the reception area
and examination room Number Two, the fluids were almost uniformly
blackish in the dark gloom of the unlit office. But here and there, in those
places touched ever so slightly by the meager illumination that managed to
make its way from the open bathroom doorway, the fluid was more of a
deep, dark red. The tiny, feminine-sized footprints of fluid in the carpet just
outside the bathroom were as red as they were small. Their trail ran
backward to the exam room and, curiously, their size increased the farther
back the trail led. In fact, the very shape of the footprints changed from a
dainty size five by the bathroom to a long, reptilian three-toed structure
larger than that of an average NBA shoe coming out of E2.
The shower abruptly stopped, the humming continuing on for a moment or
two. The glass door popped open, revealing feminine perfection impossible
to describe. Black hair, black eyes, perfect skin that glowed with the warm
mocha tones of Middle Eastern or possibly African heritage, and a flawless
figure whose measurements achieved the biologically optimum ratios
instinctively sought by human males.
No towel was handy in the office restroom, but apparently none was
needed, as the woman’s skin was almost immediately dry and her thick
waves of glossy black hair were bereft of moisture only a few moments
later.
Stepping gracefully across the small room, the vision of loveliness regarded a
neatly folded stack of clothing. Slim, strong fingers plucked a dull grey dress
from the pile, holding it up to a critical view that revealed it to be a
shapeless sack. She slipped it over her head, foregoing any underthings, and
turned to study her reflection in the glass of the shower door.
