He wipes the blood off his hands.  Unprofessional, he thinks: messy.  He curses under his breath.  Always be professional.  

He stoops, picks up the shell casing lying on the ground, outside the expanding pool of blood.  Always be detached.  Pocketing the casing, he walks away, leaving the body lying where it fell, amid the filth and corruption of the city.  Soon, there will be lights and people, but they will be too late, and they will find nothing except the ruined shell of a person.  The city will move on, the loss unnoticed; but the Hitman will always remember.
