        I told the guys that I had found a perfect contract for myself.  "I'll probably be back tonight, but don't be worried if I don't show up until tomorrow."  I then left the house that had quickly become my home.  I hailed a cab and told the cabbie to take me to 536 Clegane Way.  Once we arrived, I paid him and knocked on the door of the house.  Eavenly Rhodes answered the door with a refined, "And who would you be?"  "I'm the neighbor and decided to come over and see how the kids were doing.  I know it's the first time they've been left without their parents," I said quickly, a little too quick for my liking.  "Oh!  Well in that case, come on in," came her lively reply.  She was cute.  Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her heavenly face.  This would be fun.  She led me into the living room where the kids were playing with their toys.  I haven't been around kids in a long time, so I decided to postpone my kills and just hang out for a while. 

        After a few hours, I asked Eavenly to show me to the bathroom.  I decided it was about time to get along with the task.  She led me to the restroom, flashing coy smiles and quick winks towards me.  This was a critical part of my plan.  I had to look interested just long enough to get her in the bathroom.  It was working perfectly.  When we got to the door, I went in and motioned for her to follow me in.  She fell for it.  When she entered, I shut and locked the door.  I turned and smiled as I went in for a kiss.  When our lips met, I slowly pulled the knife from my sleeve and slid it into her heart.  She fell with hardly a sound.  I picked her up and put her into the bathtub, sliding the curtain closed.  I checked to make sure that there was no blood on my clothing as I locked the door and went back to the children.  I put them to bed, and decided to stay until the parents got home.  When I heard the door open in the morning, I slipped out the back window and ran home.
