Читать книгу Accidental Eyewitness - Alice Zogg - Страница 4

One morning in the month of February, a person sat at breakfast somewhere in Southern California, staring into space. No one would have imagined that beneath the stoic façade of this law-abiding citizen, murder was being plotted. Yet that was exactly what went on in the individual’s mind. Not that any facial expression would have mattered; he or she was alone. The planning was precise, down to every exacting detail. The wicked human even thought up a plan B, should there be unpredictable circumstances to ruin the ploy. With a slight nod, the person thought, yes, it will work like a charm, and with any luck, go down as accidental death. On the off chance that there would be a homicide investigation, there is no way the crime can be fixed on me.

The planner hesitated for a second. Is it worth the risk? What risk? There is none, in fact. No evidence leading to me will exist. Do I really want to go through with this? Sure as hell I do! The schemer went in search of pen and paper, wrote the entire plot down - - memorizing each aspect - - and then fed the lines into the shredder.
