Hi

I composed it myself, and it was supposed to be a hypothesis.

The person aiming the gun at someone else doesn't want to kill him, but says that if she killed him, she would be far away before they would find his dead body.

At first I thought I would have to use the present perfect tense or maybe future perfect.
