Mr Baker walked over to the chest freezer
He examined the heavy padlock on the lid
Do you want to look inside said Miss Walters
He looked at her in disbelief and replied hell no
Tell me how all this happened he said firmly
She reached in her bag and handed him a bottle of pills
They were powerful prescription painkillers
He took his own life with these she said
He had been depressed after retiring
Often sleeping downstairs after heavy drinking
One morning I found him dead in the chair
I panicked and put him in the freezer
Why not just report his death he asked
I was afraid of being accused of murder
She began to cry and uttered please help me
He held her in his arms as she sobbed
Let me do some research and figure out a plan he said
She stopped crying and kissed him
He drove home trying to make sense out of all this mess
After hours on the internet he concluded she should just confess
He decided to tell her on Monday over lunch
But she was not on the train that day
He called her cell phone but no answer
She was probably just upset he thought
Three days later and still no sign of Miss Walters
He sat at his desk wondering if she was alright
While opening his letters and sorting them into piles
A large brown envelope with no markings caught his attention
He pulled out a bunch of printed photographs
A clear image of him entering her house
Close ups of his fingerprints on the pill bottle and padlock
His phone rang and a voice said we can prove you killed him
