Had she forgotten anything else? The porch, what about the porch? She went out on the porch. She could still smell Barner. She switched on the overhead fan. That man would stink up the whole house if she let him.
The Chivas and the two glasses were still sitting in the middle of the table. Careless, damn careless. In addition, she spotted her headband and shoes near the door, where she had tossed them, when she went out to the pool.
All this incriminating evidence was sitting out, because she was in a rush to go upstairs and wash him away. If someone had walked to the back of the house, the gun on the counter and the glasses on the table could have been seen through the glass doors. That gave her a chill. Damn! Little things can trip you up, some little overlooked thing. Even so, she was still okay, she was sure no one had been around. She got out the Lysol and wiped down the table and chairs. Then wet mopped the porch floor with Lysol. Disgusting, the things she must go through to get her money.
Keep thinking, his prints are on the glass and possibly still on the gun. She washed the glasses. She carefully wiped the gun and the Ziploc bag of money. No prints or DNA could survive Lysol. Did he touch the Chivas bottle? She couldn't remember. She washed that too. She stood thinking. she overlooked anything else? She'd check again in the morning. She locked the doors and went to bed.
She slept through untroubled. Then it was light outside. She walked to the end of the upstairs hall, pushed aside the curtain and looked down on the backyard. The pool appeared empty. The body would now be on the bottom. The sooner she calls the police the better.
She went downstairs. Everything appeared okay. She took out the money. How does she explain why she's holding ten thousand dollars? Cash is never necessary these days. She took the gun out of the drawer. Must find a better place for this until she can toss it in the river.
She'd have preferred to toss the gun and hide the money before the police came but didn't dare to leave the house. How would she explain backing out past his van and not reporting a body in her pool? Wait until the police leave, there will be time. She put the money and the gun in the upstairs safe. No reason for police to search the house because of an accidental drowning. She'd have their asses on a plate if they tried; take it to the Supreme Court.
