A Living Fancy

Devil In A Red Dress

" When it comes to the murder of Linda Crawford & The disappearance of Elijah Mastisson , Carly Mastisson you are found guilty. I sentence you to 20 years in Prison until you can make bail. Bail is set at 2 Million. Case dismissed."

When the judge slammed her gavel down my head pounded with the echo of the sound. Tears flowed from my face and so much remorse filled my body. " I shouldn't have never left the hospital with my kids." " Where will I get the money ?" " Who can I call ?" I had some many questions but those questions had answers that wouldn't do me any good.

I walked out the courtroom slowly shaking. I didn't have a jacket and it was freezing outside, I walked up the coffee machine and started to pour some in a cup. That's when I seen him, he had long hair and and he was dressed in a suit and tie an-" I paused as I realized that was the same man from my vision.

He had a pen in his mouth and was flipping through pages in a book and had a large briefcase. I looked at his every move he was so perfect and I was a wreck , but that's when he started walking towards me. I buttoned up my shirt and tried to fix my hair that's when walking beside me he filled up cup with coffee.

I could smell his cologne I sniffed,
Maybe a little too loud because he looked back and smiled and said," can I help you ?" I grinned and said," No Sir, but it would help if I knew your name."

That was bold of me I thought but he answered," my name is Phillip." I nodded as if I was fascinated and then said," my name is Carly." I nodded too and then asked," what's a pretty girl like you doing here?"

I quickly thought to myself " should I lie of tell the truth ? If I tell the rough maybe he can help me."

Then I said," I'm here because-"

He interrupted and said," Ohhhhhh , you're Carly Mastisson you're here for trial for the murder of Linda Crawford." I guiltily nodded and asked," how'd you know ?"

" your name has filled the air of this courthouse this whole week." I liked down at my feet and started to cry.

He lifted my face up and said," in sure you'll make bail do you have anyone to call ?"

I shook my head, that's when he awed and said," I'm not doing anything this afternoon would you like to get lunch , or something ? "

I looked at his pockets and seen a huge bulge that must've been a bundle of money. I immediately nodded and he smiled and said," it's a date. "

I told him to meet me by the boutique and then we went our separate ways. I rushed to the boutique which was a few blocks down from the courthouse.

When I got there I slipped through the police tape and rushed to the drawer in which my money was stored in. Ever since I had the kids I haven't had time to ask for money on the streets. The last time I checked I had 234.56 that was enough to buy me a dress. So I collected the money and rushed to a nearby store.

I tried on many dressed and none of them fit me like this red on did. It hugged all of my curves and I liked great in it. I looked at the tag it read $6,000, I couldn't afford this dress but I had to have it even I had to seduce the cashier. I knew I would walk out the store with this dress but I didn't know how.

That's when without a thought I ripped the tag off the dress and ran out the store the alarm sounded even though I ripped the tag off. I looked behind me no one was chasing me, I ran through alleys and circled my way back to the boutique.

Once I was sure I wasn't being followed I decided to look in the mirror. The dress had this sort of feeling on me, it made me feel sexy, bold, and mysterious , it made me feel exclusive.

While admiring myself in the mirror I heard a knock on the window it was Phillip , I grabbed a long sharp jagged piece of glass off the floor and put it in my torn damaged purse that reeked of urine and walked out the door. I knew exactly how our date would go this evening.

There would be bloodshed.
