Rufus knew it couldn't last. He got complacent. He should have been more careful, but he'd become intoxicated by the easy pickings. There were just so many lonely men there just waiting for his attention - how could he have controlled himself?
He was careful at first, biding his time, watching to see which of the men came back time after time; they were the ones that wouldn't be missed. He loved it, relished it, and took his time in choosing the next one. Sitting in his customary seat at the back in the far corner he could see the whole of the auditorium, without anyone else really noticing him. He loved this bit, getting the feel of his new place, watching the patrons over a period of time, seeing where they sat, which ones liked to sit alone, keeping their heads down, desperately afraid of catching someone's eye, these he usually left alone - these were the guilty ones the ones with wives and girlfriends, someone to miss them. He preferred the exhibitionists, the ones who craned their necks around to see who was watching them as well as the screen. These were the men who moved seats frequently, trying to find someone to connect with. He watched them with interest, watched who they moved next to, who they had success with.
Once he'd chosen he'd waste no time. He'd sit in a different seat, sneaking in from his rooms behind the stage, so that the staff (should they pay any attention whatsoever to what was happening in the auditorium rather than on screen) would not know he was there. He'd indulge in a bit of mutual masturbation with his victim, but being very careful to leave him wanting more. He'd arrange to meet him outside, along the road a way, slipping down through the old dressing rooms and out through a back door.
