Saints: The Devil Next Door

Everything Before The SNAP!

 

Sins of the father

"Rena you have to leave... he is going to kill you"

Sutton looks up from her dolls to watch the pretty blonde princess talking to her mommy.

Why is mommy crying again?

"I know Patience... I am going to leave... I have a plan.... I just need to get a couple of things together and then we are going to disappear... he is getting worse every day..." Sutton looks at her beautiful mommy's face stained with tears. Where is mommy going?

"Rena, I can't watch him hurt you anymore... Sutton is almost nine ... just get some stuff together and we will go now... you have the Saint's at your back... we will protect you... if Dixon knew Travis was hurting you he would kill him... I know your past with Dixon is painful and he really hurt you when you found out he got that girl pregnant... but he didn't love her... he only married her because you ran off and got married to the prick ...Dallas Dixon loved you... loves you still... I know you didn't mean for things to end up like this... I know you still love him and always will... how much longer do you think you can hide the truth... she looks just like him" the princess is frowning at mommy and holding her hand. Is mommy okay?

"I can't Patience... I'll tell Dallas when we are clear of this, but I can't go now... I won't put you or the Saints in danger like that... I love you all too much to do that to you... We are leaving soon... I just needed a guarantee that will protect us... and I think I have it... Now all I have to do is get it to the Feds... Travis values appearances, his career, and freedom above all else... I have been gathering evidence of his illegal activity that will put him away on a federal level... that is the only way he will ever end up in jail or leave us alone for good" ...Mommy sounds tired, but the blonde princess sounds mad... "Jail? That bastard should be in the ground for what he does to you" ...Mommy's voice sounds like she might start crying again... "You and I both know he will never go to jail for what he does to me... he is too connected.... Not in this town... Not with his name... He and his father have every official and crook in this area in their back pockets... dirt or deal on all of them... no one would put a Pope away... I hoped maybe one of the criminals would try to take him out, but it doesn't look like that's happening... you know the weight the Pope name holds... Just let me do this my way... it's the only way we are ever going to be free of that monster... he will never give up on finding us... he will never let me or her go if I don't have leverage to threaten him with... or send him away with...it's the only way Patience" The blonde princess hugs her mommy and Sutton puts her dolls down and pads across the kitchen tiles to the table where her mommy sits with the princess. She wraps her arms around her mommy and the princess

"Mommy you okay"

Sutton looks up at her mommy whose looking down at her... Why is mommy so sad?

"Oh, baby girl, Mommy is okay... don't worry...everything is going to be okay... I promise baby" ...she kisses Suttons forehead and inhales her hair before she says... "You smell just like you did the day you were born" Sutton giggles and leans back from her mommy then gives her a kiss on the cheek

"You always say that Mommy" her mommy smiles at her words and Sutton is happy to see her smiling. Mommy doesn't smile very much

"Go play with your dolls baby... I need to finish talking to my friend Patience... you remember her right baby... I know you don't see her often, but she is mommy's best friend... always has been... so if you ever need anything and Mommy isn't here... Patience will take care of you" Sutton looks up to the pretty princess and says

"Princess Patience... will take care of me... got it mommy... I love you"

The princess smiles at Sutton and nods
