The Peacock 689

 "So that's Lindstrom", say I, staring hard at the two photos.  He is so good-looking as to appear artificially good-looking, like the work of an extremely talented cosmetic surgeon.  I have never in my life seen such perfect everything.  

"Show us", says Carl and I pass him the photos, which he studies intently with Francois.  Then Carl's expression changes and he appears to have gone pale.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"Something very wrong", he says, "Very very wrong."

"What is it?"

"I know this guy."

"What?"

"He used to come here to visit my dad, years ago, when I was still a teenager.  Oh my God, this does not look good at all..."
