The house of Don Francisco sat in a remote part of the desert and a thin veneer of dust had settled on the shining paintjob of the limousine as it approached the mock-adobe mansion set at location that allowed a perfect view on anyone who dared to approach.
The sniper’s gun-sights sent ominous reflexes through the bulletproofed windows of Donna Juanitas dusty vehicle. She sighed, “Men and their toys”, and hoped that she had not overlooked any detail, but she felt sure that Don Francisco continued to underestimate female adversaries.
Mingling humble offering of peace with sex and a devious concoction mixed with her nail polish, Donna Juanita felt well prepared. Nobody would believe that the crimson striations on Don Francisco’s back would be the real cause of a death that looked more like a heart attack while having passionate sex.
By dawn tomorrow, she — a mourning mistress — would command the Arizona mob.
This is my second linking to Barbara W. Beacham’s Monday Finish the story. Great to fantasize of a warm desert in the cold of late December.

Excellent story! I love that with the nail polish! Thank you again for participating and I hope that you come back again next week! 🙂
I thought of a vixen having claws.. I wonder if her plans was succesful
I wonder…. 🙂
Whoa, watch Juanita’s crocodile tears fall in the mo(u)rning!
Ha.. yes that would be a sight for sore eyes.
Great story Bjorn. A concoction mixed with her nail polish, I loved that touch. Best wishes for 2015.
Wonder if I should be concerned about inventing new means of murder….
I love it. You could expand this into a great novel or screenplay.
We’ll see. I have an idea for at least the second part.
Bjorn, Good and well-written story. I’m glad there’ll be a second part. That business with the poisoned nails was great. 🙂 — Suzanne
We’ll see .. Hope the next pic fits to something that could help with this.
Yikes! He better watch out. Certainly, he would not be on his guard. A fun read, Bjorn! k.
We’ll see.. I think there might be a second installment for this one…
Great imaginative start to a seies. The poisoned nails were a brilliant twist. I look forward to the next instalment 🙂
We’ll see if the picture will fit a next installment…
It’s a good job she’s not a nail-biter 🙂 Great story!
I think she’s a cool cat really.. nailbiting is not very likely.

Better ‘late to the party’ than ‘never made it’… on to part 2
I’ve just discovered Monday Finish The Story. Found your piece and decided to read in order before I read your this week’s post.
Oh! What a vixen and scratching no less…or hoping to.
I’ll move to part II. Then I may try to write one before I read your this week’s entry.
