It stood to reason that Scott would be the most difficult kill. You had so much to learn. And there was a great deal of pressure, because without a solid, squared-away beginning, there could be no follow-up – no Rachel. Killing her and getting away with it greatly increased your experience. As a result, you’re more confident than ever in your own abilities. You know exactly what you’re capable of achieving. You know how to avoid being caught. So it should be simpler this year. And certainly, on an emotional level, it is. But from a practical standpoint, your third kill is a whole lot harder because a pattern is emerging. Your scheme is becoming clear. Your targets have caught on to it already, which explains their behaviour this year. They’re expecting you to come for them. They understand the threat you pose. They’re prepared to defend themselves and therefore the challenge they present to you is much stiffer.
