think with a clear head here,” Eloi stated firmly as they stood in Leon’s kitchen. Ellena was still sleeping upstairs. Roy was with her.
“Think with a clear head? I am. I’m thinking that Parker, that piece of crap, touched my woman, threatened her, and cut her with a knife. Then he sent one of his guys to follow her, and he hit her. The fact that I haven’t left this house with weapon in hand is pretty fucking rational thinking right now.” Leon raised his voice.
Eloi sighed as he looked at Mack, Troy, and Johnny.
“I completely understand your concern and anger. I do. But we have to let the law handle this, and right now, you’re a phone call away from temporary suspension from the force. Never mind those bogus drug dealing charges and assault charges they have on you. That’s a lot of heavy shit to weed through. I suggest all of you take a little vacation from your jobs and watch over Ellena. That way the feds and Johnny and I can try to figure out what Parker is up to.”
“This is my guy, and he’s fucked with my family. I’m not sitting back and doing nothing. I’m all in on this investigation,” Leon said.
“We’re all in on it. I’m certain there are things we can add to help out,” Mack added.
Eloi looked at Johnny.
“Okay. We’ll keep you posted. Agent Jones is going to want to speak with Ellena. I told him later today around four o’clock and that you would bring her to the sheriff’s department. Deputy Lemorte will keep an eye on things here, and Jessy will help secure your travels to and from the department.”
“Shit, Eloi. This fucker scared the hell out of Ellena, and now just thinking about what Parker is capable of is putting me on edge,” Leon said.
“I haven’t felt this tightly strung anticipating a strike since my military days,” Roy added.
Eloi and Johnny smiled. “We know that feeling.” They stood up and walked toward the door.
“Keep the security system on and we’ll see you in town by four o’clock,” Johnny said. They shook one another’s hands before both men left.
Mack, Troy, and Leon were silent a few moments until Mack spoke. “If you decide that taking him out in military style is the way, then I’m in. I don’t care about following the rules of law here. He could have…Ellena is most important,” Mack said. Both Troy and Leon nodded their heads in agreement.
“We’re not vigilantes, Mack, and you’re a damn businessman.”
“I hold my own and I know how to shoot.”
“I’m the one with the most experience aside from Roy and of course Leon,” Troy said then stood up from the chair.
“Like I said, no one is going to be taking anyone out. Let’s just help Ellena to feel safe. This alone time with her is exactly what we need to help her see how much we care for her,” Leon said then stood up and headed toward the staircase.
Chapter 10
Ellena was taking a hot shower. She was exhausted from last night but then began to feel antsy with Roy being so close, lying next to her on the bed. They talked a bit, and he shared with her how happy he was that she was with them. He was upset that she had taken off instead of telling him and Troy what happened at the spa. She found Roy to be irresistible, just as she was certain many women found him. Immediately she felt the connection and attraction, especially as he caressed her arm and shoulder, as they lay on the bed talking.
She explained why she had wanted to take the trip to the French Quarter and how much she had been looking forward to the spa. When he touched her chin and began to lean in for a kiss, she nearly panicked. But, Roy kept his arm over her waist and his hand pressed against her back. She wondered if this could be a mistake. Being intimate with four men. How could it work? She had seen how ménage relationships worked with her sisters and their men, but still, she wondered. She was a hardheaded woman a lot of the time. She could tear these men apart or make them hate
