Just a Little Murder 12

Chapter 12

Going over the house with a fine tooth comb, he made sure that everything was set up perfectly for when the bodies were found. He had already placed his main target in the noose and had knocked her chair out from her, leaving her to twitch and hang while he went over the house. He had set up the rest of the house as if she had found her husband in bed with another man and had lost her mind, killing both of them before she hung herself nearly an hour later.

That is after she had drank nearly an entire bottle of vodka.

Kilen had cleared it when he had talked about the plan in a generalized way, using the manuscript cover story for anyone who was daring to spy on him or his boss.

Finishing with the walk through, Aran gathered up all of his supplies, pulled the hood of his plain jacket up and walked out of the back door of the house. He hummed a happy song as he set the alarm on the way out, leaving the now darkened backyard. With that done, he walked down the alleyway that sat between the backyards, ignoring the soft huffs from one of the dogs that was out of there to do his thing. His car was parked alongside a new safe house and he walked into the backdoor. He changed jackets, pulling on a medium blue one instead, dropped his bag into a tote, closed it, and grabbed it before getting ready to leave. He acted like he had been there the entire day as he carried the tote as he walked out of the front door, closing and locking it behind him.

Walking up to his car, he popped the trunk and put the tote into it with a chuckle and slid into the driver's side. Turning it on, he let the interior warm up along with the car itself as he called Kilen. "Well, I can tell you that was a rather fun interview," he chirped when his boss picked up.

"I take it that it went well?" Kilen asked, his tone amused.

"Very. But she kind of seemed a little upset, I guess you can say. I don't know. I left a few minutes ago and I'm just waiting for my car to finish heating up. So I'll be finishing the mockup of the script and I'll send it to you in the next hour. Then I need to check out that last person that I have on my interview list," he said, smiling at the soft chuckle.

"I look forward to your mockup," Kilen drawled before he hung up. Plugging his phone into his phone charger, Aran pulled off the leather gloves that he had pulled on and then removed the gloves that he had used, shoving them into a bag on his passenger bag. With that done, he wiggled his hands at the warmth and pulled off his jacket, leaving him in his sweater.

He looked around the neighborhood and smiled, noting that it was dark enough that no one could tell what he really looked like before he tugged it off and adding it to the bag. He shoved both items into a duffle bag that he had on the floor along with the cosplay costume within. If he was pulled over, he had tickets to an anime con and a cosplay costume to wear at said con, but he doubted he would need it.

After all, the hour long call that he had been on with the woman was enough of a cover, but the con helped him with the wig. "Job well done," he cooed to himself.
