When you are a hunter executing judgment on the world's worst monsters, how far do you let yourself fall into the arms of your own target? Is it okay to use a bigot's ugly hatred to lure them deep into a trap? When a brilliant psychopath plays a hero fantasy to steal your flesh, how does one justify stepping into his monolithic, high-tech fortress?
### **Baxter's Leviathan — Chapter 24: Demonic Lover**
Hovering over a desert roadway in a high-performance AMG, Allison finds herself fighting two battles at once: surviving Baxter's death-defying, 60-mph mountain turns and tuning out the blistering, profane voice in her head screaming at her to stop being seduced by a monster. Baxter sees himself as a heroic savior rescuing Allison from a life-sucking relationship, using the magical, body-contouring bladders of his luxury car to manipulate her security.
To break the fog, Allison plays the part of a fellow cynic. Baiting Baxter with a passing pink Jeep, she dives deep into an ugly, bigoted conversational trap, mapping the exact boundaries of his wanton hatred and dark desires. The trap pays off, leading them right past raw iron security gates and into "The Leviathan"—Baxter's breathtaking, gravity-defying monolithic concrete compound. But as they take their shoes off and step into a high-tech amber guest suite, the smart house itself turns against Allison's biology. Tracking her pulse and biological instruments in real time, the house strips away her mask, forcing a terrifying cliffhanger where Baxter looks into her eyes and realizes she's hiding a lethal secret.
