When Elizabeth Shepherd was offered anything she wanted in return for her silence about Holly's death, she asked for the first thing that came to mind: money. And lots of it. Her parents are both in the military and they were both on leave when Holly died. They had left Elizabeth plenty of money to get her through, and all the bills were set up to be paid on time, but it wasn't enough for Elizabeth, she wanted more. Luckily for her parent's bank account, Holly died very shortly after they left, so she didn't have time to drain it. Instead she asked for a huge lump sum to be paid to her from the school. This is dangerous, of course, considering she can always push the school for more money, but the school had no real choice.
Unfortunately, Shepherd is crazy greedy. She ran through the money they gave her and asked for more. And then some more. And then even more. So far the school has been giving her the money no problem. But the new headmaster, Dawkins was recently told about the situation. He doesn't want to give her any more money. He's beginning to wonder, though secretly, if it wouldn't be better for the school if Elizabeth Shepherd, who is a fairly well known heroin addict, had a little accident of her own.
