Roger liked to play dress-up. It's just about his favorite thing in the world. Today he's dressing up like a lawyer, and he has the look down perfectly. He admires the perfect shine of his Bruno Magli shoes and the perfect square knot of his Ike Behar silk tie. He heads to the country club.
.
Roger heads inside. No one second guesses whether he should be there or not. He looks like he should and that's good enough for them. He heads for the bar. He picks a Cuban cigar from the box and orders a brandy. He pretends to sip the brandy, he doesn't want his senses dulled for today's activities.
.
A voice behind him says, "Nice shoes. Bruno Magli's?"
.
Roger turns and smiles. He quickly scans her body pausing at her breasts just long enough for his appreciation to be noticed. When his eyes find hers, he replies, "Yes, they are. You have quite the eye for fashion."
.
She smiles back and says, "I don't recall seeing you in here before."
.
Roger says, "That's because I've never been in here before. I was supposed to meet a client here to go over some contracts, but it looks like he's stood me up ...... but perhaps I've found someone better to talk to."
.
"Perhaps I've seen your client. Who were you meeting?"
.
"David Wannaker, Wannaker Enterprises," he replies without skipping a beat.
.
She smile and says, "That's just like my husband. He went out of town last night, and didn't even bother to cancel your meeting."
.
Roger smiles at her with his best lawyer smile because he knows that the deal is all but sealed. After a little more chit chat, the couple head back to the Wannaker Estate. They go to the pool house since there will be servents in the main house. The moment the door closes, he pulls her near and kisses her. He whispers in her ear, "I want you right now."
.
He grabs her by the hair, turns her around and bends her over the poolside table. He kneels down and runs his hands up the back of her legs raising her skirt as he goes. When he gets her skirt to her waist, he pulls out a pocket knife and cuts off her thong panties. She trembles with anticipation as he lifts the panties to his face and inhales deeply. He moves in closer and runs his hands up her back.
.
When his hands reach the top of her back, he enters her from behind. She lifts her head and lets out a low moan just as he knew she would. He wraps the thong around her neck and pulls it tight. She bucks a couple of times and tries to wriggle away, but his timing is perfect. He strangles her just as she exhales, and it is only a minute until she is unconscious. He takes his pocket knife and inserts it just below the base of her skull. A few twitches is all she gives as her life fades away.
.
The best part is over, but Roger continues with the second best part. For several hours, he repeatedly makes love to the recently departed Mrs. Wannaker, and each time he tells her that he loves her as he finishes.
.
The pool cleaner arrives the next day. He is expecting Mrs. Wannaker to be waiting for him in the pool house as usual, but not in the way he finds her. The police are called and Mr. Wannaker returns home immediately.
.
The pool boy is thoroughly questioned by the detective while the uniformed officers gather evidence and Mr. Wannaker's alibi is verified. No, Mr. Wannaker was not aware that he wife was sleeping around and no he didn't want her dead.
.
When the detective has amassed all of the evidence gathered by the uniforms, he loads it in his car and drives to the station. The detective knows that he will never find the killer and the case will be closed as unsolved.
.
The detective files his paperwork on the case and heads home. He smiles to himself when he gets home and takes off his perfectly shined Bruno Magli shoes.
