THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL. This is NOT based on reality.

I suppose my first question would be "why a hitman and not a bodyguard?"

Bodyguard is an on-going expense, and several times more expensive than a hitman, just for the first year.

Not weighing in on the ethics, just the expense. Its been mentioned in other comments that moving is probably the cheapest option, and I don't disagree.
