The snow is melting faster than his projections predicted. Well, they haven’t found her. His internet search gave him the details for the decomposition rate for a five-foot, 120-pound, 45 year old female. So many variables to consider in such a short time before making the kill. The damn weather is the most unpredictable factor in the equation.
Damn Jimmy! He hadn’t given enough time to consider all the factors that go into a successful mission.
In the distance he hears sirens. Can’t be he thinks. The sounds grow closer. He leaves. His footprints left behind in the cold sand.
Oh Danny Boy! 
wow!! 23My Day in the Cancer Center

Clearly a rookie, although he knows what needs to happen he hasn’t figured out the execution, so to speak.
Nice suspense. We still don’t know if maybe he got away.

Between the footprints and the google searches footprints he’s done on his computer, let’s hope the detectives nail him to the wall. Thanks, Mother Nature!

Cold and calculating but being rushed will get him caught. Poor woman, I wonder why she is a target? Probably an insurance job.

Hmm. What an intriguing character. He’s got a unique talent for the technicalities of his calling. He needs to find an employer who’ll give him the time he needs to prepare. Or maybe he could change sides and offer those talents to the good guys.
