We begin out tale in September 2004, the night of Zack's murder mystery night. But take things in a slightly different direction.
.
Maria couldn't believe it. Zack Slater, the man she once loved, was really Alexander Cambias Jr. What's more, he wanted revenge against the person who killed his brother. She tried reasoning with him, but feared it was in vain.
.
Maria: Are you really going to hurt Bianca?
Zack: That depends, on whether or not she murdered my brother.
Maria: She killed Michael, but it was in self-defense.
Zack: I've met her, spent time with her, I don't think she's capable of murder. But she is capable of taking the blame for others. Erica, Kendall, Maggie. I'm not taking revenge until I'm certain she's even capable of murder.
Maria: How exactly do you plan on finding out?
Zack: Observe.
.
Zack gestured towards the security feed, showing Bianca and Kendall. Bianca was holding a gun. The letters informed Bianca that she was the killer, Erica was her victim.
.
Bianca: So, I'm suppossed to kill my own mother.
Kendall: Actually, this could be very good.
Bianca: How so?
Kendall: The destruction ritual. It's like voodoo dolls, or burning pictures of an ex-boyfirend, or ex-girlfriend.
Bianca: You think it would help me?
Kendall: Yes. You blame Erica for what happenned to Miranda. To move forward, you need to place your anger exactly where it belongs. Pull the trigger once, let her think you're really going to end her life.
Bianca: If I do that, it would take awhile to repair the damage with Erica.
Kendall: After what she did to you, there's no way you can reconcile immediately. This might help. For your own sake, maye you need this.
.
Maria: Okay, you've given Bianca the means to heal herself. But Kendall's right, it's just a destruction ritual, it proves nothing.
Zack: By itself no. But, it requires another ingredient.
.
Zack then took out his cellphone and called Bianca. When Bianca answered Zack was acting frantic and worried.
.
Bianca: Hello?
Zack: Bianca, thank God. Have you gotten the clues yet?
Bianca: Yeah. I'm the killer, Erica's my victim, and I have the gun.
Zack: There may have been a mistake. Some idiot may have put actual bullets in the gun. Be very careful, and just give the gun to security. Please, be very careful.
.
As Zack hung up Maria confronted him.
.
Maria: You put bullets in the gun?
Zack: Ofcourse not, I'm not a moron. But now, Bianca thinks there are bullets in her gun. It isn't exactly a secret that she and Erica don't get along right now. Aren't you curious, as to what she'll do now.
.
Bianca held the gun in her hands. It seemed like fate was giving her the chance to kill her mother. Ofcourse she would go to prison for this, or she could turn the gun on herself. Either way her life would be over. Ever since her baby was taken from her, life had become unbearable. She had contemplated suicide, and now, she could kill Erica first.
