~Gabe P. O. V. ~

Before I know what just happened Ashley's body is unconscious on the ground and I'm checking what she could have seen. The time is not right but she gave me no choice. She usually takes her time with shopping. Why is she here now? I know she lives here.

She probably saw me, she knows.
I have to make the plan. The room is not even complete. The plastic, surgical instruments aren't ready. The timing is shity. WOMEN they just know how to interfere with things. I wish she didn't show up. Then I didn't have to do this to her. "Fuck!" I shout out of frustration.

I pick up Ashleys body from the ground and move her to the bed, covering her with the covers on the bed. Moving to my study I place the diary and plans back into the safe. Closing the safe and covering it with the float boards. I finally move from the spot I was kneeling at, I didn't realize I was kneeling there for so long. When I get to my feet I feel dizzy. I ignore the feeling and move to the kitchen. I grab the bags and start to unpack them placing everything on their usual spots. The cleaning supplies are stoked up. Random air freshener here and there. Bleach 2 bottles. I throw the shopping bags in the trash cans. Closing the cubort doors on my way to my study.

Grabbing a pencil in one hand and a ruler in the other I do a little work. Writing the people I work for notes and what to change on the drawing. Minutes turn into hours. I finish the drawing off with the last note. My timer goes off and it's time to make an appearance in the main bedroom. Taking a syringe with 5CC of Rohypnol. Placing it in my back pocket I move to the bedroom. Gently pushing the door open I find Ashley still asleep. I press the needle into her shoulder and inject the substance. This should keep her asleep for the night. I can finalize the plans and the room for her death during the night.
Removing the needle I clean the mark with a anti-septic cotton. Leaving the room I close the door and return to the study.

Removing the floor boards above the safe I enter the pin and reach down grabbing the room setup plans. Leaving the floor open I move to my desk clearing a space to work on.
The night is going to be long. Starting where I last finished. The Warehouse is going to work well for her murder scene. Schetching free hand I draw the table and the smaller table with my instruments on it. Details are important in this part of the plan.

~Time Skip~

When I check my watch it's past 11 P.m. and the plans are almost finished. The only thing that needs to be done is to go to the warehouse and pack everything as in the plans.
I pack up the pencils and pens I used while making notes on the paper.
Walking over to the safe I place the plans and the address under the diary and needles.

Closing the safe and covering it with the floor boards. I stand and move to the kitchen. Having the sudden craving for food. Grabbing the bottle of Nutella with a spoon I walk to the sofa and switch on the TV. Catching up on the episodes of Tokyo Ghoul and Dexter I missed the last week.
Planning to kill someone is much more work than people anticipate.

The more I think of it the more ecstatic my day becomes. I have enough Rohypnol left to keep Ashley sedated for the most of tomorrow. Making time to set up the warehouse, and of course doing a little bit of shopping. I have ran out on plastic. Getting things from the hardware store is on the to do list.

While making a mental check list of what to get I fidget with a loose piece of string on my jeans. Dropping the piece of string I grab the spoon and dig into the bottle of Nutella. The chocolate is 'a-ma-zing'. When the credits of Dexter appear. I decide on switching the TV off. Clicking the light off before moving to the kitchen. Simply placing the spoon and now half eaten bottle of nutella on the counter top. Switching the lights to the sub-lights underneath the top shelves. Moving my fingers with the wall to the bedroom. This makes me think of nightmare on Elm street where Freddy is chasing one of the characters in the abandoned building/ warehouse and his sharp nails are moving with the iron pipes in one of the hallways creating sparks.

Switching on the bathroom light and switching off the hallway light. Entering the room. Ashley is still unconscious and I am glad. Taking off my shirt and getting into more comfortable shorts I get into bed next to her. My mind not wanting to go to sleep but I know I need it for my plans tomorrow.

Trying not to think of the things going down tomorrow, I feel my eye lids grow heavy and I find myself in a deep slumber.
