She emerged from a door near the head of the stairs and came down. "Yes?" she said.
Smith grinned at her. "It's okay, lady—the job is over."
"Good! Let me fix you a drink, and you can tell me all about it."
Smith sat down on a couch. She prepared the drinks and brought his over. They sat together and sipped the liquor.
"Science is wonderful," she said.
"Yeah, it sure is," said Smith. "They spend millions figuring out fancy ways to catch crooks, and then some dumb professor invents a way so I can kill people and never be caught."

J. T. Oliver,  The Killer

At exactly five minutes before eight, Smith drove his panel truck through the gate to the Rogers home, turned out the lights, and drove silently to the house. He parked near the side entrance, got out, went around the truck, which was labeled, "Smith's TV Repair," and opened the back doors. He lifted a pile of ragged quilts from the floor and picked up a small air-pistol.
