The Devil Wore A Brown Suit novel Chapter 29

Key runs down the hall. “No running.” A nurse yells at her.

“Fuck off!” she yells back. She has to get to Camilla Dawn quickly. When she reaches the room, Camilla is sitting up in the bed.

 “Are you okay?” She asks as she sits down on the side of her hospital bed.

“I will be perfect as soon as we get the hell out of her.” She says.

“You know he is planning to take them to Venus,” Key says.

“I know,” Camilla says. “I have no intention of giving them to him or her.” Key sits silently for a moment. 

“Camilla, I could try to reach out to Brooke.” She says.

“We don’t know where she is, Key.  I wouldn’t even know how to look for her.” Camilla Dawn says. “Unless she is looking for Sunnie.” Camilla Dawn sits up in the bed. “Where would Sunnie go?” she asks.  

She already knew the answer. Sunnie would go to New Orleans looking for Perdition. Sunnie wanted to kill Perdition. It didn’t matter if Perdition walked away or not, Sunnie hated her and wanted her dead. Sunnie believed Perdition would help the descendants.

          “Do you think you can leave without causing a commotion?” Camilla Dawn asks.

“I can go visit my aunt, but I don’t think he will let me leave while I am caring for you.” Key replies. “Tell Daniel you want someone else to care for you and the children.” Camilla thinks for a second. Her mind is processing every aspect of this.

“But Key if I tell him I don’t need you, he might decide he doesn’t need you anymore. We can’t risk it.” She responds.  

“I know and I will be ready. I will just leave while he is occupied with you. If I can get Brooke and get back here, then we can burn this bitch to the ground.” Key says with a smile on her face.

          Key had powerful magic inside her. She could slip out with no one ever knowing. She couldn’t disguise her, Camilla, and two newborns, so that was out of the question. At least not without help. If she had Brooke, they could get everyone out.

 “There is a lot of what if’s in this plan. I mean what if Brooke isn’t in New Orleans, what if you can’t get out, what if he kills you, what if” Camilla Dawn stops.

Two nurses come into the room pushing two cribs, “We brought the babies. Daniel said you can have ten minutes.” The frumpy red-headed nurse says to her.

 “Thank you.” Camilla Dawn says to her. She promptly gets up out of the bed. Key goes to one baby and Camilla Dawn to the other.
