July 4, 2000

Every so often she tried to put thoughts of that man out of her mind but not long later they would creep back in just like tonight. The peace she had achieved disappeared when she spotted a woman that she couldn't see clearly, kissing him goodbye. If it was his wife the kiss did not make it look like they were divorcing but that kiss said different.

She knew the moment he left, after he had ranted about how ungrateful his wife was being, that she would do whatever she could to make him happy again; even if it meant going to jail for him. It was not something she wanted to do but she knew she had to do whatever she could to make it happen.

So sitting in a parked car on a Wednesday night when she could be with him was her way of making him happy. She only had to wait a few more minutes to carry out her plan. Seeing the front door open she stepped out of the car and hid in the woods near another car.

She stayed just barely out of sight when the woman got close enough to her she jumped out of the woods and dragged the woman back into them with her. Making sure she kept her hand over the woman's mouth to keep her screams from being heard. Walking backward she dragged the woman out of the woods and to her car –just barely visible from the woman's own car—and forcing her into the trunk before slamming it shut.

Hopping into the driver's seat she turned on the car and pealed out and headed for the second location. It only took her a few minutes to find the dirt road over grown with weeds that she had been looking for. It was long and filled with pot holes that made the car ride bouncy. It was the only road that led to an abandon barn that hadn't been used by anybody in a long time; so the body wouldn't be found for weeks, months and if she was lucky years.

She pulled behind the barn to hide her car from view. She couldn't chance her car being spotted by someone that happened to be driving by. She wrinkled her nose at the mud that would now cake her shoes before stepping out of the car. She popped the trunk, grabbed her gun and walked slowly to the trunk. She gripped her gun tightly so the woman wouldn't get a chance at running away. Pausing only for a small second she then opened the trunk of the car the rest of the way.

The woman lay motionless but still breathing like she had fallen asleep. She pushed the tip of her gun in to the woman's stomach causing her to flinch at the contact.

"You are up now get out and don't even think about running." She told the woman. "You will just die quicker that way."

"Please don't kill me. I have money, I can give you money just let me go." The woman begged.

"That's a tempting offer you have Rosalie but no. I need you out of the way." She replied.

"I can leave town." Rosalie said.

She didn't answer Rosalie back. Instead she just grabbed Rosalie by her hair and dragged her out of the trunk. Rosalie fell onto the ground scrapping her hands and knees on the rough dirt.

"Get up."

"I can't" Rosalie replied.

"You will if you don't want to die faster."

Rosalie reluctantly got up from the ground and did so slowly. She curled her arms around her stomach. The gun woman wielding the gun grabbed Rosalie by her left arm and pushed her inside the barn through a broken opening on the side. The air inside was musty and thick making it hard for them both women to breath.

Once inside Rosalie pushed herself away from the woman. She wanted to get as far away from the mad woman as she could. She knew it would be a miracle if she made it out alive and with the way things were going, no, she did not see that happening.

"Get on your knees and face the wall." She said to Rosalie.

Rosalie turned around and lowered herself to her knees slowly.

"Please let me go. I'm pregnant. Please don't kill my baby." Rosalie begged.

"It's not William's baby so I don't care." The woman said. "Besides I can always give him a baby if he wants one."

"Please let me go." Rosalie screamed.

"I can't because William will always want you, he might be angry with you but he will always want you. He's mine and he'll be with me once you are out of the picture. Goodbye Rosalie." The woman said pulling the trigger.

Rosalie fell to the ground blood pouring from the wound. Working quickly the gun woman took scraps of wood from around the barn and covering Rosalie's body completely with it.
