The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

JJ sat in his room at the B&B contemplating what he should do. He didn’t want to go out into the city and leave the girls without someone close by. He wanted to go look for Perdition, but he felt that could wait at least one more day. Besides, as soon as Perdition and Chaos figured out they were in the city, the two would probably seek them out. He hoped they would anyway. He hoped he could talk to her and maybe reason with her. 

First, he needed Chaos out of the way. How in the hell would he get him out of the way? He thought about knocking him out cold. He figured it wouldn’t be that hard. The thought brought a smile to his face. The winds were blowing hard, and the rain was coming in. JJ opened his door. 

Rain in New Orleans was different. It was a spiritual experience. JJ had a deep love for New Orleans. Something he and Sam had in common. Sam would’ve never left New Orleans if Camilla Dawn would’ve just stayed away. He could’ve had a good life here.

“Damn, and here we are back in the city with her,” JJ said out loud.

 “Watch it,” a little voice said.

          “Come see me, Bee,” JJ responded to the little voice. Bee walked to JJ’s door.

“Now listen here. I know what you are thinking just try to be kind.” Bee said. JJ nodded his head.

“I will try.” He said. “How is she?”

Bee looked toward the room Camilla Dawn was in, “Well, I know no doctor can help her. What is going on with her is something else. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I bet it’s why Daniel didn’t chase after her too hard. She is very sick.” Bee says. 

“Is she going to die, Bee?” JJ asks,

“I don’t know, child.” She responds. “I just don’t know. Don’t leave her alone with Angie. She might kill her first.”

JJ smiled until he realized Bee was not kidding. He straightened himself up and gave her an affirmative nod. 

The winds were increasing, and it seemed to Tiffany the rain was getting harder by the second. As she and Mayhem danced in the street, she suddenly became frightened. Thunder started roaring as she stopped to look at the sky.

“umm, Mayhem, do you think we should go back to the inn?” she asked.

When she looked at his face, he looked concerned. “Yeah. I think maybe we should.”

          The two hurried over to the sidewalk to seek shelter from the rain. JJ and Bee stood in the doorway, Tiffany and Mayhem ran down the sidewalk, Key and Camilla Dawn were resting with the babies, Sam and Angie waved bye to Bob, at the same time they all heard “The watchers are coming.”

Camilla Dawn opened her eyes, “They are coming for me.” She says.

 Key went to the door to see JJ and Bee standing outside. “The watchers are coming, JJ, Bee!” she screams. 

Tiffany and Mayhem run as fast as they can to get back to the inn. Sam stops. “Angie. They are coming for her.” He says.

“I know,” Angie says. “I know. This isn’t the first time.” 

The group reunited at the stone garden just past their rooms, except Camilla Dawn, She was almost comatose.

“How is she?” Angie asks Key.

“She is a lot worse,” Tiffany says. “Bee, is this how she looked before, You know when they came for her?” Tiffany looks at Bee waiting for an answer.  

“Yes,” Bee says.

Before Bee goes any further with this she takes a second to look at Sam. She thinks about the day she showed up. How beautiful she looked, how happy Sam was to see her, how he thought he could make his family work. And then the watchers came for her, and she traded her precious babies to save herself. How Bee had cursed Camilla Dawn and sent her to the void so Sam could live his life and have a chance.

“Sam, we got to hide those babies,” Bee says. 

“Why do they want the babies?” Tiffany asks.

“They are coming for Camilla Dawn, but she will trade them for her life in a heartbeat,” Bee says. 

 “We don’t know that,” Sam says. “Things are different now. She is not practicing dark magic.”
