The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Chapter 27: Part Two Queen Of Hell

The knock continues. “Damn,” Sam says as he gets up off the couch. “Can I just be alone?” Sam walks

to the door, grabs the knob, and opens the door.

“Sam.” A soft sweet voice speaks as he opens the door. “It’s me. I’m here for you.”

Sam stands in the door. He can’t believe his eyes. It’s Mrs. Bee. “Mrs. Bee,” he says as he grabs her.

He pulls her into the office and holds on to her. “How did you know I needed you?” he asks.

“Well, Sam. I just knew you needed me. I just knew. Can I sit? It was a long ride, and I am tired.” She

says.

Sam points to the couch. “Have a seat, Mrs. Bee.” Sam sits down across from her. Mrs. Bee looked

much older than the last time he saw her. She cooked for him and his children almost every night when

they lived in New Orleans.

Mrs. Bee was a mother to him and the children. She was heartbroken when he left. She knew he

had no choice. The decision was made for him.

She had warned Sam not to listen to Labith. She knew she would not help him. Labith set things in

motion for her benefit. Mrs. Bee saw right through her, but Sam thought he could save Camilla, so he

had to try.

“Sam, I heard that Camilla was with the chosen ones. Is it true?” she asks.

Sam nodded. “Don’t ask about the twins. I can’t go into that right now. I just can’t deal with it today or

any day.” He responds slowly. Sam has not been himself since the events with Damnation.

“I thought they would be safe. I thought Labith was helping me. She didn’t. You were so right about

everything.” Sam says.

“Yes, I was Sam, but I am not here to say I told you so. I am here because Perdition is in New Orleans.

I saw her.” Mrs. Bee tells him. “Listen to me Sam, Chaos has her under some kind of spell. She is not

herself. It reminds me of the day Camilla Dawn walked into my home looking for you.”

Sam takes another cigarette out of the pack. “Chaos gave her the stone that contained her memories.

We think he manipulated it for his benefit.” He says.

Mrs. Bee shifts in her seat. “She has those twins with her. Mayhem might be interested to know she

has them.” She says.

“Have you told anyone?” Sam asks.

“No. I came to you first. I thought you should tell him. Whatever Chaos is planning, he is in no hurry.

His guard is down. Mayhem could get them. I wrote the address for you.”

She reaches in her purse and pulls out a slip of paper. “Listen to me, Sam. You need to get Camilla

away from the chosen one. You need to get her quick. You know she will fall into that dark magic again.

Sam, you know how powerful she is.” Mrs. Bee hands him the slip of paper and stands up. “Sam, I got

to go. I need to get back home and it’s a long road ahead of me.” She reaches for Sam. “I love you like

a son, Sam. Don’t forget that. Come see me when you get her back. We will make everything right

again.”

Mrs. Bee kisses him on the cheek and walks toward the door. “Sam, don’t do anything stupid.” She

grabs the door and goes out quickly.

Sam waits a few minutes and goes back to the bar. “Mayhem, we need to talk,” Sam says. Mayhem

comes to the bar and has a seat. “Listen to me. Do not fly out the door. That lady was Mrs. Bee. I

stayed with her when I left Camilla Dawn. She lives in New Orleans. She knows where the twins are.”

He says. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Sam waits for Mayhem to respond. Mayhem sits at the bar. He says nothing for a few minutes.

“Sam. What are we going to do?” he finally asks. “Well, I think we should go get them, but we are not

going half-ass. We need to have a serious plan.” He responds.

“I agree.” KoKo joins the conversation. “Can any of the descendants help?” KoKo asks.

Mayhem thinks for a moment. “We can ask JJ.”

Sam nods in agreement. “Mrs. Bee gave me the address. It’s close to her B&B. We can stay there

while we figure out exactly what to do. We can’t let Perdition or Chaos see us.” Sam tells them.

The three nod in agreement. “KoKo, I need you to find JJ. And bring him here. We can leave in the

morning.” KoKo agrees and immediately leaves to retrieve JJ.

“Mayhem, If Labith is there, and she probably is, this will not be a walk in the park. It will not be easy.

We have to be careful.” Sam says.

“Sam, I know what happened when you tried to free Camilla Dawn from all this. I know she got mixed

up in all this and got your kids mixed up in this. I know what can happen.” Mayhem says.

“Mayhem, I know you are aware, but that doesn’t mean you will think straight when you see the twins.

Just try to keep your head on straight. She is under Chaos’s spell. Actually, that damn stone has her

under some sort of spell.” Sam says.

“I will listen to you. I won’t go off and endanger us.” Mayhem reassures him.

“Good, Now I have had a horrible day. I am going to get drunk.” Sam grabs another bottle from the bar

and heads back to his office for the second time today. This time he stays there for the rest of the night

thinking about Camilla until the bottle was gone.
