Sheila had gone into hiding. The
police knew she killed Bill. Several folks had seen the platinum
blonde in a cherry red Porsche around Jekyll Island at the time of his death. But
since his body wasn’t found for two days, Sheila was long gone.
On her way across the country, she stopped in Las Vegas, colored her
hair black, and took on a Goth look. With a ring through her nose and several
fake tattoos, she entered a Texas Hold-em game in the back room of her hotel.
She cashed in the Porsche and won a cabin in Washington State.
The cabin was on San Juan Island,
where Sheila forgot her desire for vengeance and became a most sadistic serial
killer.
***
At first, the cabin on San Juan
was fun. She enjoyed the sunny days, the
beautiful sunsets, the isolation. But after a storm flooded her new home, clean
up was a slog in the mud for days on end. Sheila grew tired of the solitary
life. She wanted, needed a man.
Conner Seal became
that man. He’d come out from Seattle to help her repair the damage. His firm
pecks, six-pack abs, and deep blue eyes warmed her in regions she didn’t even know
were cold.
An affair started, but when
Conner wanted to end it because he had other jobs too do, and other women to bed. Sheila couldn’t, wouldn’t let go.
She pretended to because she wasn’t about
to bring the cops to her piece of heaven on earth.
Sheila waited, watched, and then
she proceeded with caution.
Conner had found a new remodeling
job in Olympia, Washington, and a new girl. It was because of his insistence on
leaving and his easy betrayal that he died
a most tragic death.
Conner and his new girl, Alice,
planned a night in. Sheila added a sedative to their wine then she waited until
they were both soundly asleep.
Alice woke the next morning to
find a bloody butcher knife, but no Conner, and no memory of the night before.
No one caught on until Conner's shallow grave was discovered in the woods behind
Alice’s house.
The police called it a crime of
passion. Conner Seal’s new girlfriend, Alice Winter, was charged with murder.
Accused of stabbing him thirty times on the floor of her kitchen, burying his
body, and cleaning up the crime scene. Alice had no defense.
Sheila enjoyed reading about the case, but it was the pictures of his bloody body that appeased her thirst for murder, at least for a little while.
