Dead Dino

Martha Sharma was in a panic. Mrs. Howe lay dead on the floor killed by Martha but Sharma didn't set out to shoot her tonight. The panda meant to just scare her into not purchasing all the cows in the world but noooo Kamala had to provoke her by mentioning that her dead cow Tangerine never liked her and that's why she never got good ice cream from her.

'Where should I put the body' thought the panda. She had to get around the fact the body was much larger than normal because Kamala Howe was a dino. Now Sharma has heard of many ways to get rid of a body like pigs, disposing of it piece by piece in your neighbors trash, feeding  them to other people, or using acid, etc. but choosing how to was a different matter. However she had to make a decision fast because Mrs. Howe's husband Gerald Howe was calling her to find out where she was as they were supposed to meet for dinner that very same night.

     Mr. Howe is a huge crime boss with a lot of people in his pocket literally and figuratively (you should probably remember this detail as it's an important mystery tool for later. The phone continued ringing with the ringtone being suga boom boom which isn't that big of a deal just that it kept raising Sharma's anxiety and guilty conscience. The decision about what to do next had to be made fast or if his calls kept going unanswered he would track her phone and find Martha standing over her body still.

    Ms. Sharma figured it out as she was a cook and she had to be a quick thinker. Martha had decided to invite Mr. Howe to come to her restaurant from Mrs. Howe’s phone and then she would order all her employees out of the kitchen and she would prepare Kamala’s body to feed her husband. But the crime boss being who he was, was skeptical of why his wife would miss so many phone calls and just apologize over text and invite him somewhere else. He overlooked it until he had eaten all his food and his wife never showed up then sent his copos to find his wife and her phone.

    Sharma sat down to eat her bamboo sushi thinking she had successfully gotten away with the murder of Kamala Howe but little did she know Gerald Howe was eating cotton candy while his copos were surveying her house until she fell asleep. His copos had found out what she did from the cow dealer who had bugged Mrs. Howe to find out why she wanted all the cows in the world. Finally Sharma started to fall asleep.
   
Gerald got a call from his copos telling him Martha had fallen asleep. He got in the car to go shoot and confront Martha but when he arrived she was already dead and the copos had no idea what had happened. Gerald later found out that Sharma couldn’t deal with the guilt of killing Kamala so she overdosed on sleeping pills. Sure it was the cowards way out but she didn’t care.
