the thing is do I have to kill there must I kill bear she's a nice girl I like her you've got to kill bear because you've got no guarantee she'll be on your side she might say that she was and then break down under cross-examination it's too much of a risk any other question no go on then from where we got to which was the 2nd of December workmen start redecorating the study so from then on bear has to work at home on December the 11th there's a birthday party at your mother's to which bear is not invited she wouldn't go even if she were but you're going of course so on the 11th at 6 30 I'll leave for my mother's house yes but what have you done before that how you expect me to manage this I don't know I have made love to bear you must you make love to her as near as you can to 6 30. still in her wrap nothing underneath when she answers the door to my husband I wish you wouldn't call him that all right when she answers the door to Paul still my husband till December the 11th I am your husband not till you've got rid of bear do before we leave the house at 6 30. at 6 20 I ring you I'll be standing by the phone pretending to be ringing my mother to tell her I'll be a few minutes late and I say yes all right and I hung up and I go to my husband Paul Paul and I say that Bear's got some problem about his notes can he go around there straight away he'll be Keen to especially if I say you're out for the evening and she's all alone she'll ask him in it's only polite yes well meanwhile I've stopped at a cafe for a drink best if it's one way you're known where the waiter will recognize you and while I'm there it suddenly strikes me that I've forgotten the box of chocolates for my mother so I'll have to go back and get them you can make a remark to the waiter what a fool I am that sort of thing yes yes I I turn around I go back home open the door quietly I walk in and what do I find doesn't much matter what anyway she's still in her rap she's not going to get dressed just because he's come so so I go to the drawer where the chocolates are because I remember that next to the chocolates in the drawer is your automatic which I bought months ago at the time of the burglar scare you pull it out and I shoot kind of a in the body bang bang bang bang four shots why four there are seven in the magazine and you need three for Bear to be sure of killing her why fall for him and three for her cause it's desirable to kill bear but it's essential to kill Paul if you don't kill Paul there's no point in the whole thing right right you can't reload or what jury would believe you were mad with rage it's all right I've got it bang bang bang bang bang four shots in Paul's body yes that four times got it yeah yes I've got it in bang bang bang for bear you're sure you've got the whole thing straight this is your last chance I won't see you again until afterwards still quite a Time afterwards are darling the police will be watching us like Hawks not to mention

into the bedroom no here you won't be so comfortable here that's my funeral what's the matter Chris sorry about that I got undressed anyway to be ready I'm afraid I'm still not feeling very well perhaps you better not go to your mother's she'd understand no no I must go why what's so important about it she's got plenty more birthdays in her yet no I must go if you say so are you gonna stay like that like this yes I think so it's useful in case in case of what okay so change your mind anyway I think I'll ring my mother oh why tell her I'll be a bit late you can't possibly be if you leave

off she must have heard me what she doesn't want my birthday greetings oh well some people get the mother-in-laws they deserve and some deserve the ones they get foreign oh and what's the trouble something in your note she says she can't make head or tail of do you say what it is that's just it she could explain she wouldn't have to trouble she can't anyway she asked if you could possibly go over there and put her straight what now she'd be grateful apparently she's all by herself with only your notes to keep her company Christie has gone out for the evening well I'll be back as soon as I
