“I trust you both, BJ, or I wouldn’t be here in this bed, I wouldn’t have stayed the night, and I certainly wouldn’t be feeling sad about having to leave you both.”
“Then don’t go, baby. Stay with us. You can talk to your cousins tonight,” Monte suggested.
“I can’t. They call on Sundays at all different times. I have to wait for their call. It’s important.”
“Does it have anything to do with the scars?” Monte asked, and she shook her head.
“Please, Monte, I don’t want to talk about it. It’s in the past and being with you and taking care of the girls and Dixie Chix is all that matters.”
BJ leaned down and kissed her breast.
“One day you’ll tell us, right?”
Monte leaned down and kissed her other breast. They both began to feast on her breasts and nipples then made their way lower to her pussy. She tilted her head back, and BJ watched her from below.
“She’ll tell us, Monte. We have a way of getting information when we want it.”
BJ pressed a digit up into her pussy, and Susanna moaned.
“Oh yeah, we’ll get whatever we want from our woman as we learn her weak spots.” Monte licked her nipple and pulled on it with his teeth. Susanna moaned, and both men began to work on weakening their woman and getting her to share her life with them.
Chapter 10
They were a couple of days away from Delite, Texas, when Alexa and Sally got the feeling that they were being followed. There was this black sports car that always seemed to show up where they were for the past few days. They were getting low on money and taking numerous busses was their only form of transportation. They were afraid to remain in one place too long in case the black car was following them. It was Saturday night and they rented a motel room so they could shower and change. They took turns watching carefully from the window the car that sat in the parking lot a few floors below them. They picked the biggest motel with multiple floors and rooms that didn’t have balconies or fire escapes. Those were potential means to being infiltrated from outside. Susanna had taught them well. She’d given them great advice over the last year as she had experienced living on the run for years before finally settling down in a place called Delite, Texas.
Alexa and Sally were looking forward to finally being able to stop running and live with their cousin and her friends. She had helped a few women along the way on her journey to freedom, and they wanted to be part of her new business and to live normal lives away from abuse and danger.
Tomorrow they would call her and let her know about the black car.
“Hey, I just saw the guy who’s driving the vehicle get out. Look down there,” Alexa whispered to Sally. Sally carefully peeked out of the small space between the curtain and the window.
“He looks like he’s trying to make a call. Maybe I should sneak down there and try to hear what he’s saying?” Sally suggested to Alexa.
“Shit! What if he is following us and he sees you? Then what?” Alexa replied. They stared at one another.
“We both go,” they said simultaneously then smiled.
“We do this like Susanna taught us,” Alexa said then walked to her duffel bag and pulled out the black sweatshirt. Sally did the same thing.
* * * *
“I’ve been following them for five days now, Casper. There’s no sign of your woman, Susanna. These two are on their own.”
“They could be heading toward Susanna. I think you should wait it out. Patience is imperative at a time like this,” Casper stated.
“You gonna pay me for my time, man?”
“That’s why you called me to begin with, wasn’t it, Brook? Now be sure to not screw this up. I’m going to be in Texas on business, Dallas actually, so I won’t be far. If you see Susanna, you call me right away.”
“I’ll call you, Casper, but I don’t think Susanna will show up.”
Brook hung up the phone and glanced around the dump of a motel. These two chicks tried hard to not stand out and to be lost in a crowd. He almost lost them himself a few times, but he was better. He’d been tracking for years and remaining undetected himself, considering the law was after him. Brook knew he was a wanted man. He got a little messy with a few hits and left some evidence around. He now took jobs like these where unknowns were wanted and were expendable if caught. That was him. He was already wanted for five different murders, so what would a few more be if he got busted? He wouldn’t get the chair in Texas, so he didn’t give a fuck.
Perhaps if Casper gave the okay to take out these two women, he’d get to have some fun with them first.
He smiled as he lit a cigarette before getting back into his car.
* * * *
Alexa and Sally didn’t speak until they were back in the motel room.
“We have to call Susanna. That guy is looking for her and we’re leading him right to her,” Alexa stated.
“Casper. Fuck, Alexa, he’s one of Casper’s hired men. He wants to get her back to Casper and we can’t let that happen.”
“I don’t know what we’re going to do.”
“I think we stick to the plan of calling Susanna tomorrow. We’ll let her know what we found out and she’ll know what to do and how to lose this guy. Plus, she’ll need to know that Casper is still searching for her.”
“We’ll call her tomorrow. It’s late. Let’s take turns sleeping. I’ll take watch first,” Alexa said, and Sally nodded in agreement. This was their routine, especially when they were being followed.
* * * *
It was eleven thirty. They had showered, made love again, gotten dressed, and had breakfast, and now Monte and BJ were trying to get her to stay longer.
“I can’t stay. I wish I could, but I can’t,” she told them as they both held one of her hands.
She stared up at them. They were so big and tall and total cowboys. She could smell their cologne, and she learned so much about them. They answered any questions she had, even though she refused to answer most of their questions about herself. She learned that Monte served in a special unit in the military then was discharged and started his own private security company and assisted with the government when needed. BJ had served in a similar unit for the military then decided to come back home and take his father’s old position as town sheriff after being elected by the town people without him even knowing it. They were good men, honest men, who served their country and had morals and values. A few times in conversation she felt that they were too good to be true and too good for her.
She felt Monte’s hand against her cheek as she leaned back against the island in the kitchen.
“When can we see you again?” he asked her as he caressed her cheek.
“Well, you know where I work and where I live. Mondays the club is closed, and you have some more work to do there, so I guess on Monday.”
He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight. She hugged him in return. They remained that way for a few seconds until Monte slowly pulled back.
BJ then took her hand and pulled her against him. He hugged her, too, and she inhaled his scent, loving the smell of their cologne and manly presence. She felt feminine and cared for in their arms.
He slowly released her and she began to walk with them toward the front door.
“We’ll call you later, okay? To talk?” BJ asked, and she nodded her head. They walked her out and she felt so odd. She had truly enjoyed their night together and she knew she cared for them deeply, but it was as if something was squeezing her chest and stopping her from truly enjoying the moment. She tried to smile and then hoped it came off as sincere even though she felt unsure.
* * * *
“So you’re really not going to tell us any details?” Ava asked as the women all gathered around the living room waiting for Sally and Alexa to call.
“Why would I do that? It wouldn’t be very ladylike.” She took a sip of the iced tea she had. Her legs were tucked underneath her as she wore a pair of shorts and T-sh
irt. She felt content and not so pessimistic anymore. Both BJ and Monte texted her that they missed her already.
“You could have stayed there longer. We would have taken the call from Alexa and Sally,” Ava stated with a smile. She gave her a sideways look.
“You know that I wouldn’t miss their call. They’re almost here. They’ll be in Delite by Tuesday, and I can’t wait,” Susanna stated, and just then the phone began to ring.
She put down her glass of tea and took the call.
* * * *
“No, Susanna, you’re not going!” Ava yelled as Susanna pulled off her T-shirt and went to replace it with a black one.
“What’s that on your back? What are those marks?” Paula asked as the others gathered in her bedroom.
She tossed a look over her shoulder. “You guys know what to do. We talked about this. Everything is in the safe in case I don’t return.”
“Goddamn it, Susanna, he did that to you, didn’t he? Casper beat you and whipped you? My God, you didn’t tell us everything,” Ava yelled, and Susanna turned around to face her friends.
“No, I didn’t tell you everything. There was no need to relive that time by talking about it. I got out of there and I survived.”
“Yeah, but now you’re running right back into it again. What if Casper is there? What if this guy calls him and he’s nearby? Then what?” Elise asked.
Susanna pulled open her side drawer and took out a gun. She checked to make sure it was loaded and grabbed an extra cartridge.
Ava gasped. Susanna looked up.
“I’ll do what I have to do to save Alexa and Sally. If I don’t save them, then our uncles and their goons will get them and kill them both. I’m their only hope of surviving this. That guy Brook is a bad man. He’s killed for many people, and he’s wanted by the authorities. If he happens to show up dead somewhere in Texas, then so be it.” She placed the gun in a backpack and pulled it onto her shoulder.
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell us about him and what he did to you,” Juliet stated.
“It doesn’t matter now.”
“What did Monte and the sheriff say about those scars?” Ava asked her.
“They didn’t push for answers, and as far as they’re concerned, they’ll never find out. I have to do this, Ava. You know that I’m their only hope of surviving.”
“Why can’t we help, too?” Elise asked.
“You need to stay here and keep things covered while I’m gone.”
“And what about the sheriff and Monte?” Ava asked.
“Tell them that I had to go help my cousins.”
“And what if something goes wrong?” Paula asked.
Susanna stared at them a moment. “Then you open that safe and you read and follow my directions. I love you guys so much, and in case I never told you, I’m glad our paths crossed and we created Dixie Chix. You ladies keep it up and running no matter what.”
“Oh shit, Susanna.” Juliet began to cry.
Susanna felt the tears in her eyes.
“Don’t cry and don’t freak out. I’m not planning on getting killed. I’m planning on ending this and bringing home my cousins.” Susanna hugged each of them before heading downstairs.
Susanna glanced back at the front of their home before she pulled out of the driveway. They were all there. Her four closest friends and women who were survivors just like her. She didn’t have a choice here. Brook was evil. He had worked for her uncles years ago and then did some hits for a few mobsters. He was a shit and had no respect for life. How he caught up with Alexa and Sally they would never know, but she needed to intervene. Her cousins couldn’t handle this.
* * * *
Sally and Alexa did as Susanna had told them and tried to lose Brook. They were both surprised that Susanna knew exactly who Brook was, and she reminded them of the hits their uncles did on a group of businessmen before Susanna helped Sally and Alexa to escape. They remembered hearing about the brutality of the murders and the fact that Brook bragged about them.
Alexa looked around the train station as she and Sally grabbed their bags and headed down the walkway. It was evening time and Susanna had told them she would meet them by the back entrance to the ladies’ room and maintenance entryway.
They found it immediately as they looked around them before entering the door. It was unlocked, and as they entered there was Susanna.
“Oh God, Susanna!” Alexa cried as she and Sally ran to their cousin and hugged her tight.
“We’re so glad to see you,” Sally cried as Susanna held them tight.
“Did anyone follow you? Did you see him at all?” Susanna asked as she released them and quickly locked the door.
“No. We didn’t see him, and we remained inside of the sleeping quarters like you told us to,” Alexa told her cousin.
“Good. I’m certain he’s nearby. I parked the car a few blocks from here and down a deserted road. We’re going to cut through the woods so we’re sure he’s not following us. Are you guys okay to do that?” she asked them, and Sally nodded her head.
Alexa looked at Susanna. “You look good, Susanna. We’re so glad that you’re here, but we’re worried, too. What if he sees you and calls Casper?”
“Then I handle it. Let’s not worry about the what-ifs. Let’s move and get you to a safe place.”
Alexa began to head toward the door they’d entered when she heard the lock turn.
Susanna placed her finger over her lips, indicating for them to remain quiet.
Alexa panicked as she stared at Susanna for direction. She waved them toward the back of the room, and they followed.
As they traveled through the utility room, they came to an exit door. Susanna slowly opened it and peeked out to make sure it was safe. They followed her out the door and directly over to the wooded area.
* * * *
“Where is she, Ava? You said she’d be back Monday, and now it’s Tuesday,” the sheriff asked Ava as she and her friends stood in the office at Dixie Chix. Monte was with her, and so were Carl and Richie.
“She hasn’t called, but she will soon to let us know where they are. Her cousins were far from here, and she said it might take a day or two.”
Ava had lied and the sheriff knew it.
Juliet kept her eyes down, and the others seemed nervous.
“I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’m getting the feeling that y’all are lying to me. If she’s in some sort of trouble, Monte and I have a right to know. She’s our woman and we care for her very much.”
Juliet began to speak when Paula grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
“Juliet, do you know something? Is Susanna in some kind of trouble?” Carl asked her in a very firm voice, and she shook her head no.
The sheriff didn’t believe them for one minute.
* * * *
They were just about out of the woods when they heard someone following them. “Stop. Wait right here,” Susanna whispered as she lowered her backpack.
“Take these.” She passed the keys to Alexa and her cell phone to Sally.
“You get in the car and you head to Delite. It’s in the navigation system. You call Ava at Dixie Chix. It’s five o’clock. They’ll be there. You get to them and you don’t stop for anyone. Do the speed limit so you don’t get pulled over.”
“But what about you?” Sally asked.
“This has to end now, or he’ll never stop looking for you or me.” She pulled the gun from her backpack. Alexa and Sally’s eyes widened.
Sally held her arm. “You’ll go to prison if you kill him.”
“You two get moving. I don’t plan on using this gun except in self-defense. I have a license to carry it, so don’t you two worry. You get in the car and head home and you call Ava immediately.” They hugged her. Then they slowly made their way to the car. Just as they started the engine, she spotted Brook. He was running toward them and she ran after him, tackling him to the ground. They struggled as he struck her, knocking the g
un out of her hands. She scrambled across the ground when she heard the sound of a gun with a silencer go off. Turning onto her elbows she looked and saw Casper and his main bodyguard Williams standing over Brook’s body. Blood oozed from his chest and Casper smiled.
“Now this is a very nice surprise.”
She scrambled backward and began to run when she heard the crushing of dirt and pebbles behind her then felt the hand grip her shirt and pull her back. She lost her footing, and her shirt ripped as Williams grabbed her, hurled her over his shoulder, and headed toward Casper. A moment later, a long, black limo pulled up, and his driver, Felix, got out to open the door.
“Let’s go, Susanna. We have so much time to catch up on.”
* * * *
Ava heard the phone ringing, and she glanced at the sheriff and Monte then at the others.
She looked down and saw that it was Susanna’s cell number. Relief hit her. “It’s Susanna.” She answered the call. She could see the relief on their faces, and then she heard Alexa’s frantic cry.
“Calm down, Alexa, tell me what happened,” Ava stated, and she moved around the room closer to the couch. “No, oh God, no he didn’t.”
She fell to the couch and kept one hand against the cell phone and the other covered her other ear as if she were trying hard to listen to the caller.
“What is it? What happened?” the sheriff asked.
“You come straight to the club. We’ll be here waiting. Oh God, I know, Alexa, I know.” She disconnected the call as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Tell us what’s going on,” Juliet asked as she cried, too.
“That was Alexa and Sally. Susanna helped them to escape. She made them leave her there because that guy Brook was following them. They saw him attack her as they sped off. Then they saw a flash like a gun go off, but they kept going like Susanna told them to.”
“Where is she? Where did she go? And we want to know every detail,” Monte demanded. The women all looked at one another.
