CHAPTER 29

The drive was not as tedious as Kelly had expected it to be. Although she was used to the convenience of her luxury car, and didn’t particularly care for the stale smell in that piece of junk she’d traded for at the used car dealership, she thanked God for the automatic transmission – otherwise she would have been arrested long ago. Her Jimmy Choos were not built for extensive clutch use.

She missed her Mercedes. She became nauseated just thinking about the greedy grin on the car salesman’s greasy face. It made her sick to her stomach thinking that some lousy low-life would get to drive a car that had been intended for someone of the likes of her.

Oh, the sacrifices you have to make when you’re a fugitive.

Kelly felt like one of those medieval women who’d been falsely accused of witchcraft just because they were too clever, too opinionated, too righteous. Why couldn’t anyone understand that she was actually doing the right thing?

In a perfect world, not only would I not be accused of anything, I’d get a medal, too . . .

She watched the road with glinting eyes. Just like those wretched women, who were penalized despite their innocence, she, too, was being persecuted, a death sentence floating over her head; she was being unjustly portrayed as a witch. Now she would have to spend the rest of her life on the run. She may have dodged the death penalty, but she had lost her life and everything she held dear. She was condemned to a life of solitude; one without her prestigious job, without the glory and admiration that followed. She would probably have to undergo additional plastic surgeries to conceal her identity, after she had worked so hard to transform herself in the first place. And, worst of all, she could never kill again. Gloria’s dying moment would become her peak, from which she could only descend. She would be left with nothing but sweet reminiscences, which would eventually dim as time passed.

Suddenly, the image of Sharon Davis, moments before she’d been shot, appeared before Kelly’s eyes. She lost her concentration and swerved to the right. Kelly tried to shake the image of the stubborn cop out of her head. Even in death, Detective Davis would not give her peace.

The attempt to clear her conscience of the detective’s murder hadn’t worked very well. Sharon had been right. How could she justify killing a cop, whose only wrongdoing had been that she’d been doing her job too well? But there had been no other way. If Kelly hadn’t stopped her in time, she would not be able to reach that one moment she had been looking forward to for all these years – the moment when she would finally get her vengeance.

Kelly tried to recall the loathing and hatred she had felt toward the cop in the last few days; emotions that further escalated the closer she got to her ultimate target. But now those feelings were almost completely gone.
