The package was lying by the front door a cube
shaped carton sealed with tape, their name and
address printed by hand: “Mr
...
Stephan
loather, 217-E thirty seventh street New Jersey,”
...
It was just getting Dark
...
Inside the carton was a push button until fastened
to a small wooden box
...
Julia tried to lift it off, but it was locked in place, she
turned the unit over and saw a folded piece of
paper scotch-taped to the bottom of the box
...
Mario will call on you at
8:15Pm
...
A few moments later, she went back into the
kitchen to make the salad
...
Mr
...
There was a small man in the hallway he removed
his hat and Julia opened the door
...
Mario?” he
inquires politely
...
Mario
...
“May I come in? Asked Mr
...
“Don’t you want to know what it is?”
Julia turned back Mr
...
“It could prove very valuable,” he told her
...
Mr
...
Julia frowned she didn’t like his attitude, “what are
you trying to sell?” she asked
...
Mr
...
‘oh the ……” Stephan pointed toward to living room
and smiled
...
Mario
“May I come in?”
“If you are selling something…
...
Mario shook his head
...
“Up to you”, she said,
He hesitated “well, why not?” he said
...
Mario sat in
Julia’s Chair
...
” Inside here
is a key to the bell-unit dome
...
“What’s it for?” asked Stephan
...
Mario told him,
“somewhere in the world someone you don’t know
well die
...
Julia stared at the small man
...
“What are you talking about?” Stephan asked him
...
Mario looked surprised
...
“Is this a practical Joke?” asked Stephan
...
“You aren’t making sense,” Stephan said,” you
Expect us to believe…
...
Mr
...
“I’m afraid I’m not
at liberty to tell you that,” he said, “however, I
assure you, the organization is of international
scope
...
Mr
...
“Off course”
...
“Are you sure you wouldn’t care to think about it
for a day or so?”
...
Mario’s hand’s he
walked into the hall and pulled open the door
...
” Said Mr
...
He placed it on
the table by the door
...
Julia was still sitting on the sofa
...
“I don’t care to know,” he answered
...
“No
...
After Stephan returned to his book, Julia went back
to the kitchen and finished washing the dishes
...
Stephan’s eyes shifted as he washes his towel
...
“Doesn’t it intrigue you?
“It offends me” Stephan said
...
Julia rolled another curler in her
hair-“doesn’t it intrigue you, too?
“You think it’s a practical joke?” she asked as they
went into the room
...
Julia sat on her chair and said after,
“May be it’s some kind of psychological research”
...
“Maybe some eccentric millionaire is doing it”
...
”
“Wouldn’t you like to know”
...
“Why?”
“Because it’s immoral,” he told her
...
Stephan turned off the lamp “Goodnight” he said
Julia closed her eyes,” Seventy five thousand
dollars”, she thought
...
Julia saw the card halves on the table, impulsively;
she dropped them into her purse
...
While she was on her Tea Break, she took the card
halved from her purse and held the torn, edges
together
...
Mario name and cell number
were printed on the card
...
“Why am I doing this? She thought
...
Mario
...
Mario voice
...
“This is Mrs
...
“Yes Mrs
...
Mario sounded pleased
...
“That’s natural, Mr
...
“Not that I believe a word of what you told us”
“Oh, it’s quite authentic,” Mr
...
“Well whatever …
...
“When so said someone in the world would die
...
“I could be anyone
...
And off
course, that you wouldn’t have to watch them die
...
“That is correct”
“Nonetheless, that is proposition “Mr
...
The package was lying by the front door,
Julia saw it as she left the elevator
...
” I just won’t take it in,” she
thought, she went inside and started dinner
...
Opening the
door, she picked up the package and carried it into
kitchen, leaving it on the table
...
In the broiler, she put the package in a
bottom cabinet
...
“May be some eccentric millionaire is playing games
with people,” she said
...
”
“What does that mean?”
“Let it go,” he told her
...
Suddenly, she put her fork down,
“Suppose it’s a genuine offer?” she said
...
“What would you like to do? Get the button back
and push it? Murder someone?”
Julia looked disgusted “Murder”
...
Stephan looked astounded, “are you saying what I
think you are?”
“If it’s some old Chinese peasant ten thousand miles
away? Some diseased native in the Congo?”
“How about some baby boy in Pennsylvania?”
Stephan countered, “Some beautiful little girl on
the next block
...
“What’s the
difference who you kill? It’s still murder
...
Someone whose death you don’t
even have to know about, you still wouldn’t push
the button?”
Stephan stared at her, appalled “you mean you
would?”
“Seventy five Thousand Dollars, Stephan”
“What has the amount……”
“Seventy Five thousand dollars, Stephan,” Julia
interrupted
...
”
“Julia, No”
...
”
“Julia, no
...
She shuddered
...
”
After dinner, Stephan went into the living room,
before he left the table, he said, “I‘d rather not
discuss it anymore, if you don’t mind,”
Julia shrugged, “fine with me,”
She got up earlier than usual to make pancakes,
eggs, and tea for Stephan’s breakfast
...
“I
wanted to do it, that’s all”
...
”
She refilled his cup
...
“Not what?”
“Selfish”
“Did I say you were?”
“Well”……
...
”last night”
Stephan didn’t speak
...
” I think
you…
...
”
“In what way?” His voice was guarded
...
She gestured again … “that I was
only thinking of myself”
...
“I wasn’t”
“Julia…
...
” She drew in a shaking
breath
...
“What?”
“That I’d like for us to go to Europe
...
Like for us to have a
nicer apartment, nicer furniture, nicer clothes, a
car
...
“When?”
“Are you”…
...
”
“I’m saying that they’re probably doing it for some
research project!” she cut him off “ That they want
to know what average people would do under such
circumstances! That they’re just saying someone
would die, in order to study reactions
...
Whatever! You don’t really think they’d kill
somebody, do you?”
Stephan didn’t answer
...
When he’d gone to work, Julia remained at the
table, staring into her tea
...
She shrugged
...
Opening it , she set the button unit
on the table, she stared at it for a long time before
taking the key from its envelope and removing the
glass dome
...
How
ridiculous, she thought, All this furor over a
meaningless button
...
She shuddered, was it happening? A chill of horror
swept across her
...
She made a
contemptuous noise
...
To get
so worked up over nothing
...
She had just turned over the supper steaks when
the cell rang
...
Loather”
“Yes”
“This is the Lenox hill Hospital
...
the shoving crowed, Stephan
pushed from the platform in front of the train, she
was conscious of shaking her head but couldn’t
stop
...
“No” she couldn’t seem to breathe
...
There were
no nails or screws visible
...
Abruptly she began pounding it harder and harder
until the wood split she pulled the sides apart
cutting her fingers without noticing
...
The box was empty
She whirled with a gasp as the cell phone rang
...
“Mrs
...
Mario asked
...
”
“My dear lady,” Mr
