Ch 7
"You helped kill.....kill someone," Ada stammered. She was leaning away from Sebastien, pushed up against the car door. Her eyes kept going to the dead blonde in the back seat. "I know it looks bad..." Sebastien started and then Ada interrupted him. "YOU HELPED KILL SOMEONE!" she screamed. Sebastien frowned. "You dont understand..." he tried again. "Damn straight I dont, theres a dead person in your backseat!" Ada exclaimed. "I was trying to explain that but you keep..." he was interrupted again. "Please take me back to my car," Ada said as she straightened herself up in the front seat and looked straight ahead. Sebastien sighed. "I kinda gotta get rid of the body," he said softly. Ada shivered. Fine if he wasnt going to take her back to her car she would walk.
She unbuckled and then opened her door getting ready to get out and then she saw the tall man sitting on his front stoop staring at her. She closed the door and buckled up, her hands shaking. "Please I just want to go home," she said. Her mind was going in a million different directions and she could barely breathe let alone think. "I promise I'll take you home but you cant say anything about what we are going to do," Sebastien told her. He started his car up and the only thing Ada could think about was the "we" in his sentence. Was she an accomplice to murder now?
After another 45 minute drive, they stopped just outside of Hunbaley. A small almost deserted town, north of where Ada lived. Sebastien pulled over by a ditch just over some rail road tracks and turned his car off. Ada looked around. Hunbaley was an unincorporated town. Maybe had like 50 residents and they all lived well away from where they were. "I need you to get in the trunk and grab the lime and the shovel." Sebastien told her. Ada started shaking. She was right, she was going to be an accomplice. Her entire life was going to be ruined. "Ada," Sebastien said snapping his fingers in front of her face. "The shovel and the lime," Ada did all that she could at the moment which was nod and do as he asked. She didnt want to end up in the hole next to the blonde.
So she got out of the car and went to the trunk that Sebastien has just popped. INside of the truck was what Sebastien needed but just for a split second she thought of hitting Sebastien over the top of the head and taking his car and running like her life really did depend on it. But then she realized that that was how people who fought back got killed. They never hit their killer hard enough. Then she would have to explain a stolen car and a dead body to anyone she encountered.
She grabbed the shovel and the container of lime, knowing that this was quite literally the only way she was going to stay alive. SHe closed the trunk and then followed Sebastien as he walked over the small ditch and over the railroad tracks. Ada's mind was reeling. Couldnt he just leave her body on the tracks? The train would run it over and no one would even know who she was. She shook her head at that thought. God she was demented.
Sebastien stopped and dropped the dead blonde on the ground and then reached his hand out for the shovel which Ada willingly gave over. Sebastien got to digging and gave directions to Ada at the same time. "I need you to take her clothes off," he told her as he tossed another pile of dirt to his right. Ada gawked at him. How fucked up was this guy?? "Ada I really need you to cooperate here please, it will make things so much easier." Sebastien demanded.
Ada took a deep breath, then knelt beside the blonde and did as Sebastien asked. The entire time she was questioning Bernie's sanity. Why, because it was Bernie who essentially got her into this mess by telling her to download the app. Bernie was worried about catfishes. A guy meeting up with her that was 50 and not who he said he was. Not someone who was a legit killer. And also someone who was not who he said he was. He probably didnt even have rabbits.
Ada placed the clothes in a neat pile next to the body and watched as Sebastien finished with his hole. Once he was done, he knelt down and picked up the body dumping it into the hole. Then he picked up the lime and deposited it on top of her and then he filled the hole back in. "I have one more thing I need for you to get out the trunk," Sebastien said she he grabbed the womans clothes and then lit them afire with his lighter. Ada started shaking again. Was this the moment when he realized she was no good to him. Was she going to be stuffed into the trunk and taken to another location.
Ada walked back to the car, popping the trunk and opening it up she saw what he was asking for. He was really fucked up. It was a pet memorial cross. "Here Lies Buddy. The best dog ever," he was literally making it look like someone was burying a dog beside the rail road tracks. Ada closed the trunk and brought the cross back to Sebastien who placed the cross at the head of the hole.
"Now I can take you to your car," he said as he wiped his hands clean on his pants and turned to walk back to his car. Ada stared at the cross and then back to the car. She eyed her surroundings wondering how far she could get. Could she make it to one of the houses in town? WOuld they even help her or if they did would Sebastien just kill them too?
