surface during an S3
memory scan and guilt is confirmed, the presence of a Legal Division
representative is all that is required for an execution to proceed.
    The article went on for a couple of more
pages, but he did not have time to read any more; there was a job to finish.
The housekeeper used his second spray application to saturate specific spots,
next scrubbing and vacuuming the troublesome areas. His creeping anxiety
screamed: get out, leave, and leave now. But he relished mastering the tension
and exercising his discipline; each square foot required all his attention. He
did not rush.
    Other thoughts started to surface and
challenge for dominance. Was it time to get out of the city? This fifth girl
might force a change in police priorities. Because all the girls were
prostitutes the public and media outcry remained subdued, in fact some even
treated it as a joke: a recent cartoon featured a prostitute going up to a
hotel room and getting a bigger bang than expected. But this sluggish police
response would not last.
    An extraordinary development generated more
confusion, particularly when he started dumping bodies in their target
neighborhoods. The media labeled him: Horny Harry. He roamed the streets raping
and killing any girls, except prostitutes. The police were furious with the
press for the inappropriate name, but the rapist-killer thrived on his
notoriety and communicated with the news media using his new identity.  His
letters to the press were sick announcements about his charm and stamina;
unbelievably, he christened himself a ‘lover’.
    The police would never reveal how resources
were allocated, but he assumed Harry would be their first priority. Regardless,
the housekeeper knew with each killing there was the chance of a mistake or an
opportunity to leave a clue for a perceptive detective. Best to move to another
city? His internal arguments swayed back and forth; first the risk had
increased and then:  no, the risk was reasonable.
    The hard housekeeping work produced a fine
sheen of sweat, his upper body gleaming, the room silent except for his heavy
breathing. When he reached the inside of the hotel room door, he dressed and
packed. Before leaving the room, he used the third high power spray whose fine
disbursement was able to reach all corners. The chemical mist would slowly
settle and cover the entire murder scene. As long as the crime scene remain
undetected for the next 24 hours, the combination of sprays would convert the
space into a neutral hotel room.
    Before stepping into the hall, he carefully
adjusted his large sunglasses, a wig, and a hood, all selected to provide an
effective cover but still not look suspicious. The enhanced disguise all a
result of that one unfortunate sighting.  The ‘Do Not Disturb” sign would
remain on the outside door lever; this sign would buy them time. As well as
booking the room for four days, they had booked the prostitute for the entire
week.
    The more days which passed before the body
was discovered, the more difficult a detective’s job would be, witnesses
struggling with fuzzy memories and security tapes possibly erased and reused.
    The hallway did not present a challenge,
and he casually strolled to the stairwell, best to walk down to the lobby.  The
killer descended a couple of flights of stairs without encountering another
hotel guest. Overconfidence could be the downfall of the Five Star Couple. The
housekeeper knew the dangers, but he could not help thinking the killing was as
close to the perfect crime as anyone had ever executed. Not like the imbecile,
Horny Harry, who continued to provide the press with clues and brag about his
lovemaking prowess and sexual stamina.
    As he strolled out of the hotel, he thought
back to the beginning. For the housekeeper, violence started early, a frequent
visitor, his father and brother delivering unprovoked brutal punishment. The
beatings and pain became a regular cycle in his life, until he matured,
