"If you killed her you'll kill me"(Wright 178).
Bigger has everything figured out, he thinks. He has a perfect ransom note, a perfect person to blame the crime on, a perfect plan, a perfect life ahead, yet his accomplice has something to be desired. The one weak link in his plan is Bessie. Weak of mind, and easily influenced by alcohol, Bessie was clearly not the person to confide his deepest secret in. The dysfunctional relationship has come to a head through the intensity of his new situation. They have both changed and grown, but their relationship has not. The pressure that he has placed on Bessie coupled with her new found realization as to who he really is, makes for one ticking time bomb.
