The Devil Wore A Brown Suit

Mayhem, JJ, and Sam meet at the bar at 6 am. "Did you get confirmation of where she is?" Mayhem asks.

"I talked to Mrs. Bee this morning. They are still there." Sam replies.

JJ gets into the back of the SUV. As the three men get ready to leave, JJ has an unusual feeling. "Something is wrong." He says. Mayhem and Sam look at him blankly.

"What is it?" Sam asks. JJ has multiple images going through his head.

"I'm not sure guys. It has something to do with Camilla Dawn and Key." JJ replies. He scratches his head.

JJ has a gift of sight. He can see the past, the present, and sometimes the future. The future has always been a little more difficult for him. He says the future is always changing and there is no way to tell wha will happen. The present is more of his area. JJ can usually tell when things are about to go to hell.

They tossed JJ out of heaven and bound him to earth. When he landed on the topside, he had a troublesome time learning the ropes. His sight helped. He used it to find people like him.

There are a lot of celestials on earth. They live amongst everyone. They have jobs and families. JJ loved the golden city and hated the topside when he first arrived. No one knows what JJ did to get tossed out He never said and always felt some things are better kept to yourself. JJ did just that. He kept his self to his self.

"She had the twins," JJ says. Sam tries hard to hide how he feels. The other two men can tell this bothers him.

"She will be okay, man. She will survive this. She has key with her. One thing I can say about Key, she is tough. She will protect Camilla Dawn," Mayhem says. JJ scans the images in his head.

"I don't think Key is with her anymore. I think. I am not sure, but I think. Damn, I hate to even speak it."

JJ stops and scans the images. "I think Daniel is going to kill her."

"Kill who? Camilla?" Sam asks. "No, No No!" JJ reaches into the front seat and pats Sam on the shoulder. "No man, not Camilla. I think they are going to kill Key. Actually, I am positive that is his plan." JJ says.

"Now what?" Sam says, "Mayhem we have to."

"Listen, I can go to New Orleans alone. I will be fine. I can monitor Perdition and you guys can meet me down there in a few days. Just go get Key." Mayhem tells the two men. They all agree to separate. Mayhem gets out of the SUV, gathers his bags, and goes back into the bar. He sits down at the bar to have a drink with Tiffany before he leaves again.

"Tiff, is there anyone that can watch the bar for a few days?" he asks her.

"Yeah. I can get Thomas to take over, why?" she asks.

"Come with me to New Orleans. I need an extra set of eyes." He says.

Tiffany thinks it over for a second. "okay." She says. Mayhem finishes his drink and gets up from the bar.

"Let's go." He says.

"I need to go by my apartment real quick," Tiffany says.

The two head out of the bar. Mayhem's car was parked on the backside of the bar. The two walk silently to his car. Mayhem opens the door for Tiffany. "Aren't you a gentleman?" Tiffany says. Mayhem laughs.

"Well, don't tell anybody. I would hate for that to get out." He says.

Mayhem walks around to get in. As he approaches his side of the car, he notices a light coming from the alley.

"Tiff, do you see that?" he asks her as he gets in.

"Yeah, can we go before it gets closer?" She says.

"I think you are right let's go," Mayhem says as he starts the car.

"Do you need me to set the GPS?" Tiff asks.

"Nope. I know the way." He replies.

JJ and Sam have no idea what to do about Camilla Dawn and Key. They know they have to get to them, but neither has any idea how to do it once they get there. "They will guard key. Don't you think?" Sam says.

"I don't think so, Sam. I think they have her sedated." JJ says. "If we can get her and get her on full power mode, she can walk in and grab Camilla Dawn without a single issue. But the babies? I have no idea how we will pull that off?"

The two men ride in silence. JJ occasionally glances around at the familiar territory.

"I hate this place. Ever since Daniel came here, I don't even like to come this way. Everything looks dead." JJ says. "This was a delightful town."

When JJ first arrived on the topside, he made a gracious home for himself on the west part of town. His small house in Lakeville was perfect for just him and his dogs. When Daniel came he ruined the town little by little until he built his compound. The farmland dried up everywhere except Big Mama's house. The small farm could sustain its fields.

The first time JJ saw Daniel in Lakeville, he knew there was going to be trouble. He could see the pain oozing out of Daniel like a festering sore. He saw Perdition for the first time in images attached to Daniel. After that meeting, he left Lakeville. He knew he would not be safe that close to a celestial like Daniel.

He moved to Frog Pen and eventually became friends with Sam and the other descendants. He and Sam had worked together to help any celestials and descendants that landed on the topside. They work well together. They have a unique understanding of one another. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
