After figuring out what they were going to do with the body, earlier, it made the most sense to wait until after the sun had set. It was easier to think of the cooling corpse on the floor of the dining room as just a body -- not the man who'd just held them for hours, captive and bound. Not Charlie, the bounty hunter.

Something dead that you need to get rid of before it starts to attract attention of all other unsavory sorts of critters.
