The next day when Claire was at work Alex surveyed the outside of the pharmacy as usual. He liked watching over everything from the roof so he could see in all directions.
He hadn't mentioned this to her but there had already been one incident of someone trying to snipe her through the window. There was no reason to trouble her more than necessary when she was already so stressed out about dying.
Oh look, there was another one who jumped up onto a neighboring building trying to get a clear shot. He took that guy out easily and left him up there. It wasn't like anybody was going to go onto the roof and find him anytime soon.
Alex knew Claire didn't like it when he killed people but it really was easier than leaving them tied up for the police to find. They had already snooped around her workplace enough, resulting in her calling out sick for two full days after leaving early.
