CHAPTER 8 - THE HANGING OF CHICAGO'S YOUNGEST MURDERESS!!

For five days Kacey had been in shock. Mama,Roxie,Velma and Billy had been comforting her as best as they could, but it was no use every time they tried to reassure her Kacey ended up crying.

The day before Kacey's hanging Billy came into her cell.

"Kacey,I'm really sorry, I didn't know this would happen, I've never lost a case before and I'm just as shocked as you are,but I promise I'm gonna try and do everything I can to reduce the sentance or maybe I could even persuade the judge to let you have re-trial. I..."

Kacey's look stopped him, her eyes didn't blink as she focused on him with a murderess expression on her face.

"This is all you're fault!" Her voice was sharp and she never took her eyes off him. " If you hadn't told me to lie about what happened then I would have been free by now!"

"Kacey, this wasn't my fault. The jury found you guilty not me!"

"SHUT UP! You've as good as murdered me! And you should know what happens to murderers!" She picked up one of the stilletto heeled shoes that Roxie had given her and advanced towarda Billy hitting him with the shoe.

Mama rushed in. "Kacey Stop!" she said, grabbing the shoe out of her hand. Kacey burst into choking sobs and clung to Mama. "Don't worry baby, Mama's here!" She sat on Kacey's cot and pulled her onto her lap hugging her like a mother with her child.

Billy, with his bleeding nose and his black eye decided it would be best to leave.

"This is Mary Sunshine, reporting live from the Cook County Jail where history will be made today. Kacey Fizelle will become the youngest person in the state of Illinois to be exicuted..."

Kacey was ready,Roxie and Velma had said their goodbyes and reassured her that everything would be ok.

The gaurd had tied her hands together and she was being led onto the scaffold.

D.A. Harrison was in the crowd looking at her with a smirk on his face. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of letting him know she was scared - she looked at him with an "I - don't - give - a - shit!" expression on her face. Roxie and Velma were there too, she smiled bravly at them as the noose wen't around her neck.

She closed her eyes. 1 - 2 - 3. She was falling in the dark, gasping and choking - then silence.
