Not in the least, I assure you. The essence of murder-for-hire is disinterest,
as in the killing of a stranger because of value offered by another stranger.

The murder at the end of Orca is undertaken narrowly and specifically to
further Vlad's interests. All murders for hire are murders for gain, but
most murders for gain are not murders for hire.
