Chapter 3: Meanwhile, back at the house
Well, Bob guessed that an hour of Petticoat Junction should be enough to get going again. Let's see what to do first, hmmm could he already smell the body? No way, the guy had only been dead a couple of hours, no way would he be smelling already. Still, that did seem to be a putrid smell in the air. It was probably his imagination but better safe than sorry. I mean, what if it was starting to smell and someone complained, just tell the cops "Oh don't worry about the smell, that's just my guilty conscious." No, no, no that wouldn't do. Well, he could go get the air freshner out of the bathroom and spray the air and then figure out how to get rid of the body. As Bob got closer to the bathroom he decided that the smell really was getting worse, but it smelled more like fecal matter than decomposition. When he got to the bathroom the smell was nearly overpowering, and the smell was coming from the body. This was not the way a body was supposed to smell when it started decomposing. Bob finally realized that the guys bowels must have let go when he died, great. Wait that wasn't to bad, pick up the trash bags, uh, put them in the sink for now, close the shower curtain and turn on the water. That way if someone did come over he wouldn't have to think of a reason to keep them out of the bathroom, his wife was taking a shower. Ok, get the air freshner and back to the living room. Now, he had to figure out what to so with the body. Hmmm, first turn off the T.V. All in the family was too distracting. Next, turn on the radio, some oldies station or easy listening to help stay calm. Hmmm, let's see, grab a note pad, it sometimes helped to write things down. Got to remember not to write anything incriminating. How about just writing down possible places to dispose of the body. Ok, let's see, he had seen plenty of murder movies, the river? drainage ditch? bury, he stopped and erased bury, that would be a little incriminating. the woods? a construction site? abandoned house? Now he just needed to think about the pros and cons of each potential location. The river?- Let's see, rivers were good because it was hard to get finger prints, the body was sometimes a long distance from where it was dumped, and sometimes the bodies were never even found. Sounded pretty good so far, the only thing was the closest real river was 50 miles away, quite a distance to take a body. There was Miller's creek, no that wasn't deep enough, the body wouldn't even be completely submerged. Drainage ditch-Might work, but it seemed awful chancey, there weren't really any drainage ditches that were off the beaten path, and he would get filthy trying to get the body inside one of the pipes that went under the roads and it would be discovered too soon if he left it out in the open. The woods- same problem as the river, no woods close. Construction site-that could be dismissed, he had to get rid of the body before Wendy got home and the construction sites would be full of construction workers during the day. Abandoned house- Well, that has to work, it is the only one left. Any abandoned houses near here?.....Yeah, there was a whole neighborhood a couple of miles away. he just needed to figure out how to get the body there.
