The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Chapter 31: Part Two Queen Of Hell

JJ rode silently, thinking of how to get Key out of jail. He knew exactly where Daniel would have her. It

wouldn’t be too hard to get her out. Daniel would be more concerned with Camilla Dawn and the

babies. JJ knew Daniel wouldn’t wait too long to kill key. She had served her purpose. It was time to get

rid of her. Camilla wouldn’t be too far behind her. He would kill her too.

“I know this is going to sound crazy, Sam, but I don’t think they guard her at all.” JJ scans the images in

his mind of Key. “Daniel thinks he is invincible. Man, I think getting Key is going to be easy.” JJ says.

“I still want to be ready for anything,” Sam says.

“I understand that. What I am saying is, damn Sam, I think he is expecting us to get Key. I think he

doesn’t care either way. But Camilla, Sam, I think that is where we will have the problem.” JJ says.

“JJ, I think you are right, but again I want to be ready,” Sam says. “We are going to need help, JJ. Let’s

get Key out then we will figure out the next step.”

JJ agreed with Sam, but he let his mind wander. When he was in Lakeville, there was one soul Daniel

was afraid of and if she was still there, they could get to Camilla with no problem.

Key had a feeling she would be okay. The guards had left her alone in a cell. They had tried to sedate

her, but being she was special, it didn’t exactly work on her. She put on a good show for them. She fell

on the floor and pretended to be out of it. She wasn’t out of her mind or sedated. She was thinking of a

way to get out of there. She was curled up on the floor when all the guards left her.

She had a sudden feeling of relief. “JJ.” She said just above a whisper. “He is coming for me.” Key

didn’t try to connect with JJ. She feared Daniel would hear his thoughts. She knew he was coming, and

that was enough to keep her sane for the moment.

Key being a descendent could easily connect with celestials, but if Daniel heard them it would be

over before she could finish her thought.

Key’s father Markus could connect to several minds at once. He was a powerful man. Markus watched

JJ for several months before he approached him. The two developed a kinship when Key was a child.

JJ befriended the entire family.

After Markus died Key went her own way and Sunnie lost herself. Sunnie was not a descendent, and

she was terrible to deal with. Key was always the smart one. Sunnie was plain-looking and always in a

grim mood.

JJ felt like Sunnie just needed someone to be there for her. When she met Ryan he had hoped she

would come around. Instead, Sunnie led Ryan right to the other side. Ryan turned his back on his RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

family and betrayed the coven.

Key was still curled up in a ball on the floor when she heard footsteps. It scared her to move. She

wanted to listen with her mind to see if she knew who was coming, but she reserved her energy in case

she had to fight her way out. The steps approached the tiny room they locked her in.

“She is over here.” The voice said. Key still did not dare move. “Key!” The voice exclaimed. Key rolls

over and opens one eye. It was JJ.

“What took you so long?” she asked as she smiled at the big burly man.

“I am here now. Stay back. I am going to kick in the door.” JJ said.

Key rolls her eyes. “No need.” Key leaps to her feet and waves her hand in front of the door. It opens.

“Why did you need me?” JJ asks.

“I couldn’t walk out of here without protection. Let’s get out of here.” Key says. “Sam.” She hugs Sam.

“She’s fine,” Key says.

“I hope so,” Sam says.

The three walk back out the way Sam and JJ came in. “There is no one here,” Key says. “They thought

they drugged me. They all left.”

The three make it back to Sam’s SUV. Key gets into the back and lays down just in case someone

comes to check on her. “If we wait until tonight, I can go into the hospital and grab the babies. You two

get Camilla Dawn.” Key says.

The two men look at each other and then Key. “Listen up. I can block myself and the babies. I can walk

out before they even know I was there. But I cannot block Camilla. You two will just have to grab her

and run like hell.”

Key sits back in her seat. “You two got any explosives.” She says. JJ and Sam both smile.

“Yes, we do,” Sam says. “Are we going to blow up a hospital?” JJ says.

“No, just the front door. I want them all running for it when you grab her.” Key says.

“I love her,” JJ says. The three of them drive across town to wait until dark. It is only a few hours. All

three are hoping no one goes back to check on Key. If they don’t know she is missing maybe they

won’t be looking for her. Daniel would be busy with his chosen ones.

When it was just dark enough to hide the SUV the three pulled behind the hospital. The plan was Key

would go in the back, go up to the nursery, and grab both babies. Sam and JJ would set a timer for a

bomb to go off at the front door, giving them just enough time to grab Camilla Dawn and get back to the

SUV.

Key went in the back door. She could hide from anybody’s mind as long as they were not a

descendent. The spell to hide completely is too complex and she wanted to reserve energy just in case

she needed it.

As Key made her way through the hall, she saw the frumpy red-headed nurse. Now she could just

follow her to the nursery and hope to find her way back out. As she was walking behind the nurse, she

suddenly remembers this woman is a descendent. No time for any hiccups. She keeps following her.

The nurse stops in front of the door.

“You’re going to have to move fast when I open the door. I can’t hold it open long or they will know.”

She says.

Key moves up as close to the nurse as possible. Once inside, she sees the babies. Now to wait for the

explosion, Key waits quietly. She knows as soon as she grabs them the nurse will only be able to give

her a few minutes until she has to sound the alarm. Maybe I shouldn’t wait, she thought. Maybe I

should be already out of the door. When they blow the entrance someone could put the babies on

lockdown.

Key nods to the nurse. The nurse opens the door. Key grabs a baby in each arm and runs for the door.

It takes the other nurse a few minutes to realize the babies vanished. Key is almost at the end of the

hall when she sees Daniel. The stairwell is just beyond where he is standing. I can make it, she thinks

to herself.

She is running with everything in her when BOOM! The entrance is on fire. Daniel runs for the

nursery.

“Lockdown the babies.” He screams at the nurses. “Someone lockdown Camilla’s room.” He screams

down the hall.

It was too late. JJ and Sam were already almost to the SUV with Camilla Dawn. Key was coming out

the back door with the babies when Daniel realized exactly what was happening.

Key jumps into the back seat with two infants. “Go!” she screams. Key, Camilla, and the babies were

together again. They held each other as they drove off.

“Thank you,” Camilla Dawn said. She was exhausted.

“Are you able to handle the trip to New Orleans, Camilla?” Sam asks.

“Yes. I will be fine.” She says. Sam didn’t like the way she looked. She looked frail and sick. After all

these years, his instinct was to take care of her.
