Oswald was last seen at the Ballew's Texaco Service Station and was next seen 15-20 minutes later half a mile away by Johnny Brewer, so obviously Oswald stopped somewhere, gathered his thoughts and if needed he cleaned himself up, Oswald did what was necessary to not look like a suspect just like when he discarded his jacket.
