Le lieu importait peu, la fin était toujours la même. La seule différence, c'était qu'aujourd'hui, la victime était Lola. Une belle plante. Grande, déjà, pulpeuse en diable, un déhanché de folie, et une cascade de cheveux blonds qui lui donnait l'air d'une divinité nordique. Elle était Américaine, juste assez pour parler sans accent, et elle allait mourir ce soir.
Mais on en était pas encore là. Pour l'instant, elle faisait lentement les cents pas dans l'espace réduit de sa loge. Loge
