When John was ready home and sleeping in bed, someone else finished their job and went home.
They arrived at their apartment, they walked in and put their coat on the coat hanger as a black cat woke up from sleeping on the couch and greeted their person with a meow.
The person went straight to the bathroom, taking their hoodie off and revealing a blood stained shirt.
They tossed the hoodie in the laundry basket and took the shirt off before putting it in the sink and drowning it in hydrogen peroxide to help remove the blood stains.
While the shirt was soaking up the person opened the sink and washed their face, then they dried it with a towel before walking towards their bedroom, as the cat followed them.
They grabbed some more comfy clothes and changed into them before making themselves a bowl of cereal for dinner, feeding the cat, and then sitting on the couch with the bowl of cereal while watching TV.
They finished their bowl of cereal and turned the TV off, before brushing his teeth and going to sleep, relieved to finally be laying on the comfy mattress with the comfy blanket covering them, suddenly they felt a slight weight on their back, but quickly realised that it was just the cat getting ready to sleep on their back, they reached out an arm to scratch the cat's soft little head before finally falling asleep.
The day after they woke up and got dressed, getting ready to go to work, he gave the cat a little kiss on his brain-empty little head and went to work.
Nothing too unusual, just having to handle the costumers nonsense and whatnot, and occasionally having a chat with lonely grannies or interacting with small kids who needed help decide what snack to pick.
Until...
A particular rude customer arrived.
And so, the person made sure to remember his face.
When his shift ended he finished cleaning and walked away, walking towards the city park, Searching for some peace, and looking around to spot a specific someone... Until they found their target.
The rude customer from earlier, who was currently sitting on a bench at the park, they sat on a nearby bench, making sure to not stare too much.
When the guy got up and started walking away, they followed from a distance, making sure to act casually, after all, it's not that uncommon for two people to walk in the same direction.
They followed the guy for a little while, waiting for him to venture in a more desolated area, when that time came..he wandered closer to the guy, before tapping his shoulder.
The guy turned around
«what do you want?»
He asked abruptly, the person smiled a little before pulling out a knife and quickly burying it in the person's throat, leaving no place for complaints.
The guy's eyes widen in fear and pain, in a matter of seconds the guy was in the ground.
The person quickly hid the knife and walked away.
Going back home to their cat, and washing the knife carefully.
