But there are some things I can't tell anyone, and I wanted to create an ally who was on the same wavelength as myself.
If I got the money from Helson Swiney, our employment relationship would be established, and he would become a murderer.
I thought that would be interesting, as we'd have more in common, and I'd have a true confidant.
I believed he would make a good accomplice."
"Then why did you kill Helson Swiney?"
"After I learned you'd found Gelina Sweeney's body, I knew you'd definitely look for Helson Swiney. I was afraid he'd slip up, so I went to see him at night.
I wanted to remind him and, at the same time, test his attitude.
Meanwhile, I was prepared for both possibilities. If Helson Swiney was grateful, I'd get my commission from him, our employment relationship would be established, and I would have a reliable helper in the future.
If Helson Swiney wanted to betray me, I'd kill him and make him a scapegoat."
