The Fiend Club.

It was a Saturday rainy night. It was 11:30 and the police station still had it's lights on. The labor shift had finished hours ago, but neither Glenn Danzig nor Helena could go home. They still had something in their minds: The gang of the 138 a.k.a The Fiend Club...

While Danzig and Helena where still at work, Doyle Von Frankenstein had something else to do, some half baked business: Amy, his dearly beloved. He has to do something with her, he can´t let her alive, but why? She had broken Doyle's heart, and tried to unsuccessfully betray the 138's... with only seventeen.

That cold November night occurred in slow motion, like in a movie. He broke into Amy's house screaming:" There are 52 ways to murder anyone, 1 and 2 are the same and they both work as well, which one do you want me to use with you?” he said with an evil smile.

-NONE!!-Amy shouted.-I'M SORRY!!!FORGIVE ME HONEY!!!I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, YOU MUST NOT DO THIS!!!-.

-AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT?!! DIDN'T YOU WANT TO BETRAY US??!!!YOU DIDN'T CARE, YOU DID IT ANYWAY!! SO STOP SHOUTING!!!! It's useless baby-.

And while taking out his knife, he said:

-Die, die, die my darling, no matter a single word. Die, die, die my darling I will see you in hell. Don't cry to me baby, you will barely feel it. Oh no, I will barely feel it.

Amy's breathing stopped. She fell to the floor with her throat ripped. Doyle's job was done.

Too far from there, a phone was ringing. Helena answered; it was the boss, Jerry Only:

-Hello?-Helena said in a flirting voice.

-Hi Helena, is Danzig there?

-Yes, let me transfer the call.

-Thanks darling, good night.

And she dialed some numbers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glenn took the call in his office.

-Hello?

-Hi Danzig, check out if Helena is not listening.

- No, she isn't. It's about the 138's?

-I'm afraid so…..

-What did that bastard do this time? He hasn’t ruined the plans, has he?

- No. Don't worry about that and by now he remains clean. The matter is, we received a call from the East 12th St., a neighbor who told us he listened screams from a near house and that later he saw like 20 men getting out from that house, in some black vans, all of them with the well-known Glow Skull-.

-…The Club-Danzig said with a string of voice.

-I just wanted you to know. Plans stay like they are. Will you go alone?

-No. I'll take Helena with me. She….must know

-As you wish.

And then they hung up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Five minutes later Helena entered into Glenn's office with two cups of coffee.

-You seem so tired-. She said.

-I am, but there's no time to rest now. We had just got a clue to find the secret place of the Fiend Club.

-Really?

- Do you trust me?

-Of course I do!!

-So everything is going to be alright. Let's go!!!

2 minutes later they were already on their way.

Helena was feeling uncomfortable, she was confused. She really trusted Glenn, but he was behaving in a weird way, so… Out of his mind.

The car suddenly stopped in front of an abandoned building. It had been once a toy factory called The Horror Hotel. It was so scaring and seemed too had been alone for a long time. It used to be a very successful company once ago, but they closed it because the owner went mad and produced very aggressive toys which parents didn't thought would be apt for their children. So it broke and closed. It was said that the owner went even madder and that he lived inside there, keeping everyone away from "his home" as he called it.

They get off the car and entered. Glenn, strangely knew were the only entrance was.

Helena was scared to dead, so she walked very close to Glenn. They had been walking for like an hour with no destination, when suddenly Glenn stopped and grabbed her by the arm. He said softly to her:

-Helena, answer me this? If I cut off your arms, if I cut off your legs, will you still love me anyway?

Helena didn't know what to laugh or cry, she just turned her eyes to the ground.

-Why don't you love me anyway?

And Helena finally said:

-You are scaring me…what are you talking about?

- I'm talking about telling you the truth, I can't hold it anymore, and I can't keep lying to you.

-Shut up!!!You psycho!!!

-Not exactly. American Psycho for you miss Helena-. Said a voice behind her.

-Doyle Von Frankenstein!!!! You are arrested!! Help me Glenn!

But Glenn didn't move he just said:

-Sorry Helena, I can't. You don't know but ... he is my brother.

Helena froze completely.

- So he is saying the truth!!! You are that guy, the American Psycho, the one who killed…. him!!!!I HATE YOU GLENN!! YOU SONS OF A.....

-NO NO, MANNERS LADY! Such a pretty face and such a dirty mouth.
And as he said that, he was tying her with some ropes.

She shouted at the top of her lungs:

- Glenn, are you going to let him kill me?

- No. He won't. He will do it himself-. Doyle answered

-YOU FREAKS!

-You are wrong again miss….

And just like dynamite, like a hundred of men entered to the room.

-You'll see. WE MARCH AND WE FALL. WE ARE ONE AND FOR ALL. WE ARE JUST EVIL ALL OF THE TIME. WE ARE THE FIEND CLUB!

Suddenly everyone got quiet as some steps were coming closer, then Doyle started to get pale, he seemed so inoffensive now.

-Sorry Jerry… we were just.

-Yeah, I know what you were doing, just showing your asses off.

- Mr. Only, thanks to God you are here!! They said they were going to kill me!

He smiled. He took her hand and free her from the ropes she had been tied with.

- Tell me everything those idiots have done to you-.

He took her apart and so she told him everything with a really loud voice, like she where on the edge of a breakdown.

When she finished Jerry asked:

-You are not getting this. Are you?

-I just don't…..

- Don't you get Helena? You are an important piece in this game, well you were. Thanks to your innocence we are know the most powerful organization all over the country and we get what we wanted from the start. Thanks to you. Thanks to you Glenn got the job at the investigation agency. Then you gave him all your trust and he knew everything about you. That just made things easier for us. He knew, you told, that the chief of police was your father, and he told us how to find him. Yes, he is the American Psycho and yes, he killed your father, he was the only man who could stop us from killing the governor, he knew our plans so we had to finish with him.

-NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

-Oh yes. Now no one can stop us and we are going to rule this damned city, I could finally make my dad's dream come true, he was the owner from this place, you know, so I'll make it work again. But Glenn had ever been such an stupid, he fell in love with you. So your dead will be his fault, we can't let any distraction get in our way.

-Guys, take her!!-he shouted.

Helena was running, she was trying to find an exit.

-It's hopeless, you are finished, you haven't gotta pray, because I'm Mr., Jerry Only and you are going nowhere.

Two of the men grabbed her and tied her by a large stick. She was crying. She remembered the day she met Glenn: he seemed to be such a good person, how could she had been such a fool? How could she had trusted someone she had just met? She felt so guilty for her father.

Jerry came to the room with a knife. He gave it to Glenn and said:

-There it is. Do it.

Everyone was staring at him. Helena tried to match his eyes, but he was avoiding hers.

He was about to do it, when she finally catched his eyes. He threw the knife away. He fell on the ground and covering his face with his hands, he started whining.

-I….can't…-He cried.

-You are such a girl!!!-Jerry shouted at him-Doyle, do it please!!!-.

Doyle grabbed the knife and he stuck it in Helena's chest. She felt the blood running out from her. She closed her eyes, her life was escaping. She opened her eyes... it must haven't passed so much time since she had fainted, but she felt like it had been so long. She was wet, the blood was still spilling. It was darker, but she could see Doyle and Jerry standing at the other side of the room. Then another man joined, it was Glenn, then someone turned the lights off and they get closer to her, she contained her almost non-existent breathe and closed her eyes, she was weaker, and knew she will die at any second.

-Kiss her good bye-. Jerry said to Glenn.

He got over his knees; he was going to kiss her. Helena was about to cry.

Then she heard a shoot and immediately a heavy body fell over her. They have killed Glenn. She opened her eyes and took his hand.

She looked up and her heart stopped beating.
