Prelude
Alice was an only child. She loved her parents, and they loved her.
I wish I could end this story with the above few words; however, I feel Alice’s entire story should be told in the hope that somewhere in the tangle which was her life, we may find a lesson, a moral, or at the very least, a better understanding of this lady, and why they want to kill her.
Chapter 1
It was the last day in the year of 1999. Alice Watson looked at herself in the mirror, which was located in the small bathroom in the back of the bank in which she worked.
She said softly to herself in disbelief, I am a thirty-nine year old virgin.
She found it easy to blame this fact on the numerous men with whom she came into contact daily. Alice was sure she could be happy with any one of them, but none of them had yet taken the initiative to court and marry her. Alice had a high school education, and after twenty years of working for the same employer, she was still a bank teller past hope of promotion, or even a better prospect at a different job. Back in her teller cage, she looked at the bank calendar one more time wishing the page would turn, the year would be over, and her new life would began. All she saw was the same Friday, December 31st date as the last time she looked, and the same inane picture of a petite, perfect, smiling child, as the little girl played with her equally small, white dog. She hated, and loved that little girl. She hated the dog, and the sentimentality of the picture without reservation. Alice was looking forward to something new, and had placed her hopes this time in the year 2000. She was waiting for the turn of the century with the confidence that a flip of the calendar would bring a change for the better in her humdrum life.
Alice was not a classical beauty, but she took care of herself, and maintained her high school weight. She had also taken classes in makeup and hair care, and worked diligently to apply her newly acquired knowledge to her own face and hair. The result was not startling, and Alice would never turn a man’s head when she first got up, or was fresh from the shower, but after considerable effort at her dressing table and mirror, she could not only turn a man’s head, but sometimes that of a woman too.
The first nineteen years of Alice’s
