“Oh, don’t look so shocked. You know you’re employer isn’t a boy scout. Tell me how many people are in the house right now.”

“J-just Mr. Dinmore.”

“What about the girl?” Mina says.

“I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean, Miss.”

Mina pulls her own gun and trains it on the butler. “Tell me about the girl, Jeeves, or I’ll kill you myself.”

“I-I-I…”

Nowhe can’t get control of his vocabulary?

“The truth!” she barks.

He jumps at her tone, and the stress of two guns on him. “I… she… he… I don’t know. She… she’s not here.”

“Whereis she?” Mina presses.

Finally he caves and the truth comes out in a rush. “I-in the garden. B-buried in the garden. It was an accident!”

A moment later the butler’s brains are on the wall.

“Oh, so you get to kill the butler?”

“He’s not an innocent,” she snarls back at me.

Well, okay then. I follow her in her rampage down the house’s long hallway. We finally find Dinmore cowering under his own desk in his study. I see his shadow under the desk and tilt my head at Mina. She nods and jumps up on the desk like a cat.

“I-I’ve got a gun,” he says.

Stupid fucking thing to say. If you’ve got it, shoot it. I aim my 9mm at the flat wooden panel of the desk and unload the magazine. The bullets go straight through and hit their target. I watch as a pool of blood spreads out under the desk.

“I was going to do it!” Mina shouts.

“Too risky. He had a weapon. I wasn’t going to risk him pulling that same trick on you.”

She leans over the desk to peer underneath at the man.

“He doesn’t even have a gun, Brian. He was bluffing. Dammit!”

“You got to shoot the Butler.”

“It’s not the same.”

“Let’s bury them in the garden with the girl,” I suggest.

She sighs. “Okay.”

The cafeteria is full when we arrive back at the house. They still aren’t used to seeing Mina like this, and it pisses me off the way some of the other girls act around her now. Jealous.Theychose to come here to be trained for the highest bidder. None of us ripped them out of their beds in the middle of the night.

It’s not Mina’s fault if some of them decided a bit too late that maybe they should have stayed in college and stayed in control of their own lives instead of turning a sexual fantasy into their entire personality.

In the hush that falls over the room, the voice of one of the newer girls drifts to my ears. “Look at her. Mina thinks she’s the shit. I’d love to see Brian truly punish her to wipe that smirk off her face.”

There are a few gasps, and I can just make out Annette’s voice to my right. “Oh shit, she didn’t just say that.” Always the concerned house mother.

I can feel my entire face going cold and dark as I slowly turn toward the offending new girl. But before I can move, Mina breezes past me, the click-clack of her high-heeled boots deafening in the now silent room. I watch as she grabs the girl by the front of her shirt and hauls her to stand.
