At home my phone beeps. It's the link to an article I get by whatsapp.

"King of Food dead" - says the headline. Josh Mitchell's body has been found  upon an anonymous note to the police. That now definitely makes me the killer of two which is...kind of shocking. I knew he was dying in there but now I have the certainty.

I decide to eat a yoghurt and then move on to bed. I'm pretty sure I'll have a new job in the morning. It makes me sick already but what choice do I have?

That's the question George asks himself before falling into a restless sleep.

As I wake up and turn towards the bed side table I find a piece of paper and without reading it, I know it is my next job. I close my eyes, breathing down the panic that comes up upon thinking that someone has been in my house and even in my bedroom while I was fast asleep, though tossing and turning. Killing comes with nightmares.

I take the paper into my hands and read it:

Name: Nathalie Jones, Age 47, red hair, brown eyes. Date of death: today. Cause of death: too much money. Guilty of: greed.
