Not that there isn’t a kind of gothic chic in a house full of dead anarchists but they’re incidental. There’s just no need for that and who knows when you might need a chemical plant enema’d or something and then you’ll be like O shit I know someone who wait no goddamn it I had Lucille hug them to death and burned their house down damn did I not update my contacts app that is SO DANG ANNOYING.

I get this all the time actually I had a birthday reminder two weeks ago for my friend Leo that I shot.

So fine we plug into the Demon money moneys and buy a house, which is not supposed to be possible at speed, but giant jet money in shell shapes speaks a special language and accommodations are made and by the time that is done, and we move ourselves out of the Black House, Doc has found a guy who looks like me.

I ask her where she found him and she says she just scraped Tinder and fed all of it into a bunch of software and bing. I ask her what his name was and she says she does not know.

He looks a lot like me. Little bit sadder and tired maybe but I guess that will happen when you show up to your date at her rental apartment and she anesthetizes your leg under the table and cuts your femoral artery open.

Guy died without ever knowing it was happening. Didn’t even finish his funny story but Doc says she knows the punch line and it isn’t that funny.

She tells it and Charlie says it’s pretty fucking funny but not so you’d fuck someone it’s not that funny but under other circumstances not so awful that you’d kill a guy for telling it and let him bleed out into an IKEA carpet. Saul—Saul is here now and has got a kind of an eager-beaver thing going on—Saul thinks it is not funny but he acknowledges as how you could think it was funny it’s not like he thinks its evil.

Saul carries the dead guy because: eager.

It’s halfway dark when Saul carries him to a freight yard and we set him up. The yard is big and the shadows are long. The trains are just paler shadows because there’s no passengers. The lights are the old kind, orange gold, or maybe they’re modern and the company just makes them that color because it’s the color those lights ought to be.
