"Who's there?"
"Me."
"Me who?"
"Just open the God damn door."
Opening the door to my suburban house revealed my 6 foot, 150 pound, auburn haired sister. She didn't care much for her appearance and being a police captain didn't exactly allow her to show her feminine side. Not that she has much of a feminine side to show. With blue jeans and a white full sleeve shirt, she probably put on the first thing that wasn't on the floor. Her floor is her laundry basket after all. Knowing her, she probably has her Glock 19 concealed underneath her shirt. That's part of the reason why she wears loose clothes. Annabeth Sherman, at age 27, is the youngest captain in Westerlund.
"Sure, come in, it's not like I was sleeping or anything."
"Huh? Don't you always wake up at like 5 or something?"
"Busy week. I'm taking a break from all the paper work. Why are you here?"
"Aww, can't I come visit my brother every once in awhile? Anyway, I'm here because I want you to meet someone. She's a big time event planner. Last month during a party she organised, some guy pulled out a gun and accused another guy of cheating with his wife. No one got hurt and it was settled quickly, back to topic, she came down to the precinct to give a witness statement and we got talking. I've actually been talking to her for the last month and she's a really nice person and I think you should meet her. I think the two of you would get along really well, she's a couple of years older but I do-"

She looked at me exasperated, went out to the back garden, answered her phone then came back 2 minutes later looking angry.
"Something wrong?"
"Old woman. Drowned in her bathtub. Not too far from here, some 5 miles west."
"Suicide?"
"Unlikely, I'm going over there now. And here I was thinking to have a good relaxing day, sipping tea and annoying the shit out of you. Anyway, Sophie; your date, she expects you at Gooday Restaurant at 7. Don't be late."
"But I don't want to go on a date, besides isn't weird that you're the one arranging it. You're my sister and she's gone. Perfect."
So they finally found the body, I've been wondering how long it would take them. I killed the woman three days ago. One of my easiest kills actually. I told her my car broke down and my phone ran out of charge. Even before I could ask her help, she let me in, offering to let me use her phone, she even made tea for me. She makes some damn good tea, I'll give her that. You'd think she would be a bit more suspicious of a stranger showing up to her door in the middle of the night. At least ask some probing questions first. My car broke down and my phone ran out of charge at the same time? Really? That doesn't sound the least bit made up to you? But I won't to be complaining.
One thing that I'm dissatisfied about though is that she gave up and stopped struggling too quickly. It's more fun when my victims fight back, or think they can fight back. My knife 2 inches away from her eyes stopped any attempt at screaming. But she more than made up for it with the look of betrayal on her face. The look on her face when I told her to draw her bath and then lie down in it was priceless. Priceless. I almost couldn't stop myself from cracking out loud. Of course I had to keep her head underwater myself. She didn't trash around much and she died quicker than I expected. It shortened my fun but as I said, the pure shock on her face when I revealed to her I was there to kill her was more than enough satisfaction.
I didn't bother cleaning up the spilled water. Overall an enjoyable kill, let's just hope my sister doesn't connect it to me.
