THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL. This is NOT based on reality.

The hitman, and attempting to hire one, could cause equal retaliatory responses. The foremost requirement of dealing with criminals is to ghost any and all further crimes. Not being there by employing a transporter is better than hiring a hitman. You've got better odds with a heavily defensive transporter because at least you'll comply, which gives them better odds of success. And it's defensible in court.

I mean, to a degree this depends on where you live. Somewhere like America, sure. But the whole world isn't America.

It's a standard tactic with sex work. Bring a hitter, and it's defensible if something does go down. "We were just trying to leave/sort-it-out". Sending someone around without any other purpose is never a good look.
