I'm said to see the flashback end, but it will be awesome to get back to the present Kitty and back to Dave and everyone.
I'm glad that Phil really likes Kitty more than just as a glorified fuck buddy. It's cool that they remained friends.

This is going to set up the next part of the story.

Chapter 331

The next few weeks passed. Catriona and Natalya spent most of their time relaxing, not wanting to tire themselves. They had gone to the doctor, who confirmed that everything was fine with the babies, nothing out of the ordinary.

"Dave's coming home next week and Mom's coming in two weeks, I can't wait", sighed Catriona.

"Tak, that is wonderful. And Perttu, Antero and Olena are going to visit you in San Diego?", asked Natalya.

"Yeah, since I'm going to be in San Diego, I thought it would be more convenient. Dave knows and he's excited too, he wants to buy stuff for Olena and take her and the kids to the zoo and Sea World, she seems like a sweet little girl", said Catriona, adjusting her sunglasses.

Both women were outside in the backyard, enjoying the balmy November weather. It was pleasant and warm, a soft breeze coming from the baby. The backyard had a neatly trimmed lawn bordered with flower beds of sweet peas and potted geraniums. The small patio was made of smooth gray and brown stones caulked with cement, a large green metal and glass table shaded by a white awning.

Just then, Jan emerged from the house with a tray of lemonade and brownies. "Here's something for you girls. Kitty, there's these two kids at the front door, they want to see you, they say they know you", she said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Hmm, let me go see", she said, putting a thin white cotton robe over her bikini and going to the door.

Catriona's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Justis and Electra on the front steps, two suitcases at their feet. "Uh, hi kids. Come and what are you doing here?", she asked, letting them in.

Justis looked grim, while Electra's blue eyes were wide with fear. "Howdy, who are you kids?", asked Ray, a puzzled look on her face.

"Grandma, Grandpa, this is Justis and Electra Mustaine, Dave's kids. Justis and Electra, these are my grandparents, Ray and Jan Burton", she said, making the introductions.

Everyone shook hands, as Jan went to the kitchen to get more drinks. Natalya entered the house, raising an eyebrow. "Hello, Miss Natalya. How's the baby?", asked Electra.

"The baby is fine. What are you doing here?", she asked.

Justis put an arm around his sister protectively. "We arrived in San Diego last week, we left the tour after the Amsterdam show. Mom and Bernie met us at the airport, she was high on pills or some shit.

That night, I went downstairs to get a glass of water. I heard Bernie talking on the phone, I hid so he didn't see me. He was talking to some dude, he said that he was going to pick up Electra at school and that the dude was going to give him a couple hundred grand for her. He sounded really thrilled and said he was gonna give Mom more pills", he said, his eyes dark with anger.

"What?! Where's my shotgun, let me at him", growled Catriona, leaping up from the couch.

"Kitty, sit down. Kids, how did you get up here?", asked Jan.

"I waited until Bernie was asleep and woke up Electra and told her to pack. We sneaked out of the house and down the hill, I withdrew some cash from an ATM from the account where Dad sends the child support. I found a cab that took us to the bus station, we got on the bus to San Francisco and then took another bus here. I remembered your address, we decided to come here", said Justis.

"You kids can stay here, I can't believe that bastard. I wish I could shoot the son of a bitch", growled Ray.

"Why did you not call the police?", asked Natalya.

"I don't trust Bernie at all, it sounded like he has Mafia connections or something, they could come after us or Dad or the band or my aunts", he replied, trying to hide his fear.

"Let me get dinner started, you kids can stay in the attic, we got a guestroom there", said Jan.

"I reckon we ought to keep quiet until Dave comes, you'll just have to lay low", said Ray.

"Thank you, Mr. Burton", said Electra.

This is getting exciting. :) Not that I want anything to happen to the kids though. Hopefully Kitty can keep them safe. I wonder what Dave will say when he finds out.

Wait and see, ladies :)

Chapter 332

Catriona stood with the receiver in her hand, her blood running cold. The threatening voice on the phone knew about the kids, making threats against the family.

Fuck, now what do I do? I can't let them go back to San Diego, but if they stay here, my family is going to get hurt. Now what do I do?, she wondered, tears stinging her eyes.

It was late at night, everyone else having gone to bed. The darkness of the room seemed to engulf her, the despair threatening to wash over her. Catriona closed her eyes and began to pray, her lips moving in silent prayer.

Just then, her mobile rang, the lilting melody of Sempre Libre sounding like the voice of an angel. She sighed with relief whens he saw the number, opening the phone and answering it.

"Good evening, ma chatte. I know it's late, but I can't sleep and I just wanted to see if you wanted to talk", said the southern-accented baritone.

"Phil, I'm glad it's you. I have terrible news and I'm caught in a bind", she said, telling him everything.

Phil cursed under his breath in muted English and French that sounded menacing with his Southern accent. "Merde, that's terrible. Bastard, I've done a lot of things, but I've never hurt a little girl, I'll kill anyone who hurts my niece. I got an idea, ma chatte. You, Nat, and the kids get the hell out here. My place is 20 acres of land in a swamp outside of town. You and Nat and the kids'll be safe, I'll meet you at the airport", he said.

"You are an angel, Phil. I can't tell Dave because Bernie's people are going to come after him too. That Bernie, I wouldn't be surprised if he's got connections to organized crime. I'll get the tickets tomorrow", she said.

"No need, I got you four tickets on Expedia, they're cheap 'cause no one's going to NOLA in November. All you gotta do is click on the link I gave you to confirm, it's leaving tomorrow afternoon. You got to get here quickly", said Phil.

"I can't thank you enough, Phil", she sighed.

"I could never resist a damsel in distress, ma chatte. And the idea of that shithead hurting you or the kids gets my blood boiling. If that motherfucker hurts you, I will kill them", he growled.

"I understand, it's French and Italian in you", she teased.

"I know, that's what my daddy says. I hope you get out, see you tomorrow. Good night and get some sleep, ma chatte", he said.

"Good night, Phil", she replied, hanging up.

Yay!! Justis and Electra are going to go hang out in the swamps. :) :dance This makes my day. November is a nice time to be here though. It's not so blistering, fucking, hot.
I hope that Bernie dude doesn't find them and ruin everything.

Chapter 333

"Phil, I hope this plan of yours works out. If I were the kid, I would've killed the son of a bitch", said Tony Anselmo, Phil's father.

"I reckon so, Dad. If someone hurt my niece like that, I'd kill 'em. And that fucker actually threatened two pregnant women and an old couple. That is lower than a snake's belly", he growled.

Tony nodded in agreement at his son's words. They were at New Orleans International Airport outside the city, waiting for the plane. The other people gave them wary looks and kept their distance, eying the two men fearfully. Both Phil and his father were tall and muscular, calm but with the menacing aura of a couple of boxers or soldiers about to strike. Tony wore khaki slacks and a loose-fiting white shirt, his gray hair cropped short around his tanned face, his muscled arms covered in tattos that he'd gotten in the navy. Phil wore shorts and a sleeveless tank top, his arms covered in numerous tattoos and his dark hair falling to his shoulders.

They came to attention when the plane landed, parking outside the gate. Several minutes later the gates opened and the passengers filed out, mostly older people and Mexican families. Two young women, a teenage boy and a little girl left the gate, looking about uncertaintly. The two women wore brown wigs and trenchcoats, while the boy and girl had their hair cut short and dyed brown.

The women looked in their direction and came over to them, followed by the children. "Welcome to NOLA, ma chatte. Let's get the luggage and get in the truck, you can rest when we get to the house", said Phil.

Catriona smiled in relief. "Thanks for everything, Phil", she said, trying to stifle a yawn.

"We got the extra rooms ready, I reckon we ought to do the introductions later", said Tony.

They quickly retrieved their luggage and walked towards the parking lot. "Our place is about an hour outside the city, rest all you want when we get there", said Phil, opening the doors of the blue truck as they got in.

Phil started the engine and drove out of the parking lot. "I reckon we ought to introduce ourselves. I'm Tony Anselmo, Phil's daddy. Kid, I would've done the same thing, except I would've killed the son of a bitch", he said in his heavy, baritone Southern drawl, more pronounced than his son's.

"I know, dude. And Mr. Anselmo, Pantera rules and so does Down. I'm learning to play Stone the Crow, my girlfriend likes that song", said Justis.

"Good for you, I reckon you got your daddy's guitar playing skill. I played some guitar on the Superjoint records, but I suck, luckily Pep and Kirk play better than me. And your Daddy's band rules", he chuckled.

"Can Kitty sleep in the truck?", asked Electra.

"Sure, she can sleep all she wants. You okay, Miss Stankowski?", asked Phil.

"Yes, Mr. Anselmo", she replied.

"Merde, you can sleep all you want, ladies", said Tony, as the truck went towards the I-10 exit.

I think that Kitty will be in good hands with Phil watching over her. Mandeville is really nice, quiet kind of place. I think it's a very good place for them to hide out. Though I wonder- how will Justis and Electra go to school if they are in hiding?
