on him. A stoned, flushed face and bloody red eyes were the exterior effects of the gas. Overstreet and Carey bent down to take a strong look at the man they’d wanted to apprehend many months ago.
Sandy and Carol stood on the opposite side looking down on the sicko who’d caused them a mound of anguish. Members of S.A.V.E. were by their side to share in the victory. Their fear of being his next victim was finally over. Those from the media were held off until Overstreet was satisfied with processing the crime scene. The S.W.A.T. team kept their rifles drawn on Charlie as though he had enough strength to take on an army.
Charlie was only minutes away from his death. Calling an emergency medical crew would’ve done no good. A heaving chest and clusters of saliva bubbles indicated he drew closer to dying.
Before checking out, he had some final words. “I’m going to die a happy man. And do you know why I’m going to die a happy man?”
“Why?” Overstreet asked, watching a totally disturbed man about to die before his very eyes.
“My final resting place is going to be down here in Brush Creek. You didn’t know, but I had it planned this way all this time.”
“Charlie, can I ask you something before you leave us?”
“Ask me anything.”
“What is your real obsession with Brush Creek?”
Charlie’s heaving intensified. “Brush Creek is paradise here on Earth. Like The Garden of Eden in The Bible was Adam and Eve’s paradise, Brush Creek was always my Earthly paradise.”
“But why? This place is nothing but woods and concrete and wildlife and raw sewage water.”
“Those are the beauty of it all.”
Overstreet watched Charlie draw closer to taking his last breath. “But why did you kill all four of the women that you did?”
“Women, they’re the real enemies. They’ve made mockeries of us men.”
Charlie heaved stronger and stronger until he spoke his last three words. “Goodbye, Brush Creek.”
Sandy Barnholtz crossed herself as she watched workers from the morgue take away the body of Charles “Charlie The Machete” Rastelli.
