Song: Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing

When Lily met Rico she had just turned 18. Rico was a made man who would not be denied. From the moment he first saw Lily he wanted her. He set out to make her his, courting her with a single mindedness that Lily found irresistible. A powerful man wanted her and it gave her a small thrill. To Lily's mind they just fit. Together they were on fire. No event could truly begin until the pair stepped through the door.

And doors were opened that had never been there before. Life became a party and excess the provender. Her career began to dwindle but Rico picked up the slack. He lavished her with diamonds, furs, anything she wanted. He got his money's worth. Hers was a handy name to use for investments, property and money accounts. Their all night parties drew crowds of the social elite all fueled by drugs purchased indirectly from Rico. Lily was the perfume that sweetened any business deal. That was, until the overdose.

Lily was tired and slightly hungover during the photo shoot. She hadn't eaten in days. The designer was present and the photographer new. He kept changing his mind about position forcing the crew to relight the set each time. Lily just wanted a small pick me up. She popped the pill and twenty minutes later, underneath those same harsh lights She had a meltdown.

In a jealous rage, Lily flew at Rico in their bedroom. But he only laughed at her and knocked her to the floor. "Try that again, bitch and I'll smash your face in. You have til I come home to get out" Then he left her there while he went to see his new woman. Lily sat on the floor in her humiliation and heartache. This could not be happening.

Then came another awareness. Get out?! This was her home as much as his. Big jerk put it in her name too. The furnishings? chosen by her. The wall fabric? created just for her. The decorators, textures and art all came from her world. Rico hadn't the taste to even buy anything this nice. And he wanted *her* to leave?! The Hell with that.

Lily went into the bedroom closet and pulled out a shotgun. She calmly loaded the shells with a cold hate stealing her nerve. She waited. When Rico came home later that night and opened the bedroom door he found himself face to face with the barrel of his own gun. Lily pulled the trigger. Rico died with her name on his lips.

Staring down at the body of her once lover, Lily realized she needed to come up with a story and fast. She calmly wiped her prints off the gun and dropped it beside Rico. Then she called Manny, Rico's right hand man. To Manny she gave a performance of a lifetime. She was beside herself after coming home from a night dancing and discovering Rico there dead. What would she do without him? What would she do with him dead? How grateful she would be for Manny's help. Lily never really knew if Manny completely believed her story. But once he disposed of Rico's body and the shotgun and availed himself to hers, she did not care. She was home free.

That was until she ran into Him.....
