I turned my head to the rising sun. All too familiar scents were blowing up from the city below. No one will hear her all the way up here, I decided. It was time. 
 
 `` Helen,'' I spoke flatly. 
 
 `` Yes, Roger? What's on your mind?'' she answered in a cheery tone. 
 
 `` I did n't just ask you to go hiking today because I love hiking,'' I confessed. 
 
 Helen tipped her head down and slightly to her left, then nervously glanced around. I could see it in her eyes: she knew what was going to happen, but also the inevitability of her demise. There was no one to help her way up here, so far from civilization, and there has never been a more futile notion than her outrunning me. 
 
 `` So why did you?'' She inquired nervously, knowing the answer but not wanting to believe it. 
 
 `` You've been good to me, Helen,'' I said with a sigh. `` I wish things could be different.'' 
 
 `` What are you saying? What's going on?'' She had moved from nervousness to fear. 
 
 `` We're not both going home this time, Helen. And you know why that is. It's too much of a risk. Nobody can know what you know. I'm sorry,'' finishing with a whisper. Controlling my emotions was going to be difficult. 
 
 `` Maybe we can work this out. Roger, for Pete's sake, think about what you're saying!'' She was moving through the stages of grief in record time. I was going to miss her. 
 
 I knew if I hesitated longer I might lose my nerve. I decided to pounce. She fell backward like a display of jerky in the grocery store. I went after her neck. Allowing her to fight back could endanger my ability to get back home. I tore into her harder, fiercer. Her screams became muffled as blood filled her throat, then faded completely. It was done. 
 
 I looked eastward again. Not far to the stream, I thought. A bath would be wise. Thankfully, at last, my secret -- and revenue stream -- were safe. On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
