She pushed then she was looking down at her a blood gushed from Ada's head. She looked around to see if Ada's boyfriend with whom she had been making out was in sight, but the coward was gone. Ada's car was the only one in the lot. Zelda's wish of not having a sister had come true. She pulled her to a ravine and sent her to the bottom and then caved in stone from the edge until she was sure she had a deep cover. She knew she had taken the branch in the road of her life that was the way she wanted to go. She focused on getting out of the University and getting a job. Sometime later her mother took a step too far in accusing her of doing in her sister and Zelda took her mother to Aida's grave and had her join her. Zelda got the perfect job and celebrated by eliminating the lover that had run from both her and Aida. He was but the first of many. She became known as getting the job done and was soon working on her own doing inspections along the Canadian border with the US. She had it made and was working her way westward along the border. Then the bodies were discovered. A US detective was hired to look into the discovered bodies and her whole life began to come unraveled. Who was this detective? How was it that she was able to figure out the string of plantings that had been so expertly carried out. Then when she thought she had set up the perfect way to end it all.

She lay on the ground looking up at the Black Cincinnati detective that had somehow exposed her and had ended her ambition of planting a body at every Canada to US crossing point. She would forever wonder how she had been out done.
