> She also told the undercover g-man that her real name was Zandra Ellis, confirmed she wanted BH killed, paid him $100 for the hit, and agreed to pay the remaining balance in $250 installments every two weeks

This person really tried to put a hit on layaway.

Layaway would mean $100 for kidnapping and $900 later to close the contract. Sounds like a deal until you get the bill for room and board.

If you can't pay for a hit in one payment, maybe try DIY instead of a payment plan to save some dough.
