Ben pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. He had only managed to cross off five names, but he still had plenty of time. No reason to rush himself. He looked down the list until he saw the name that caught his eye. He folded the paper back and pressed the doorbell.
"Yes?" "Is this Joanna?" "Yes it is... can I help you?" "Hey, it's Dexter!!" "Dex? It doesn't sound like you- I swear, the intercom gets crappier each week..."
Within seconds, the door buzzed to allow him in. After a short elevator trip, he was face to face with her door. He knocked a cheery 'shave and a haircut' pattern on the door, but before he could finish Joanna opened the door with a huge smile on her face. It immediately fell as she realized she was not looking at Dexter Cross.
"I'm terribly sorry, Joanna."
Before she could react, she was dead. Ben neatly placed the gun back in his pants and proceeded to enter her apartment, dragging her inside so he could close the door to prying eyes. Once she was seated casually on her couch, he pulled the copied travel manifesto back from his pocket to cross out her name.
