The Devil Wore A Brown Suit novel Chapter 31

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 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.
