My Family “My” Choice!
New Orleans, Louisiana
LaRogue, Manor
Matt and Kitty arrived at LaRogue Manor ..this would be a surprise to Patrice and Paul! Greeting them was CeCe ‘s son Calvin Jr. Missy Kathleen? Boy is Momma gonna be happy to sees you! Hello Junior…He ran into the house… Momma… It’s Missy Kathleen ! It’s Missy Kathleen! She back! Matt was amazed at the size of the house… Some place Kit? It’s just a House Cowboy… laughing under his breath… Just… a House? CeCe came running… OHHHHH ! Missy Kathleen … You, Ok? I was’a so worried bout ya! Then she lowered her voice to a mere whisper… Lady Constance she GONE!
I know CeCe’ I’m going to fix that!.. Don’t you worry no more… you trust me. CeCe’ hugged Kitty ..
Then she looked at Matt … Boy Oh Boy!… Your man .. He a Bigggg One! Kitty just laughed…
CeCe’ this is Matt Dillon… He’s a United States Marshal …Ohhhhhhh? Kitty laughed again..
You both come now … CeCe just finished making Lunch… you be hungry after you come all this way..
Then she patted Matt’s stomach… you be hungry! Kitty let go with an uncontrollably laugh…
Then said “Now how did she guess that?” Matt just gave her his usual boyish grin. CeCe’s and excellent
Cook… Somethin’ smells great in here? He said. Wait till you taste it. She said. Junior, took their things up stairs… while they went into the kitchen . They were sitting talking to CeCe… then they heard someone
Come into the hallway… they heard two male voices… Kitty stiffened. Matt placed his hand on her back..
Kit, let me handle this…? No! … this one is Mine…. And she headed into the outer foyer….
The two men weren’t aware of her standing there… Well, Welcome Home Gentlemen …And I use that term loosely ! Both Paul and Edward LaTrese were shocked to see Kitty standing before them….
I take it from the expressions on your faces… I’m the last person you expected to see here at LaRogue Manor…or anywhere for that matter? Well Surprise…! Your Plan failed..! Miserably I might add….
Just then Matt was standing behind her… now their eyes widened… she knew from their expression
He was there… Oh, Let me introduce to you … Matt Dillon…ummmm United States Marshal Matt Dillon! Both men swallowed hard. Mr. LaTrese, Paul? Shall we go into the Library… I do believe
We have things to discuss? The two men looked at each other.. Then back at Kitty… and followed her into the library. She walked to the bar… drink ? She said sarcastically .. I would if I were you … your going to need it. Both men nodded ,Yes. Kitty poured four drinks… Now , you well know exactly…
Why I’m here. Oh, your surprised I’m sure… but, never the less …I’m going to tell you exactly what is going to happen … and your going to listen … Oh… and DO IT! Understood? Matt sat watching her in amazement! He did always like watching Kitty in action.. First thing you two are going to do…
Is tell me where Aunt Constance is? ..and she had better be in the same condition, she was when I saw her last! Secondly, if you have forced her to sign anything… you will null and void it ! Immediately…Got it?
As for you Mr. LaTrese, I have written a Formal Letter to the legal review board… about your part in all of this… so, you can expect…well… And Paul… or whatever your real name is? What do you mean ..he blurted out…Shut Up.. I’m not through… Yes I’m aware.. Your not Paul Worthington III , so if My Dear Cousin isn’t aware of this fact yet .. She will be… but then again… (for a minute Kitty was thinking she deserved whatever happened… ) No, not even she should be stuck with you for eternity. I have also contacted the New Orleans Authorities… Both men were now sinking in their chairs…
Now , where is Aunt Constance’? you might as well tell me …I’ll find her no matter what….
Just then, Kitty looked up… Patrice was standing in the doorway… surprised to see Kitty …
Kathleen? You two told me …you took care of things! Well ..Now? Hello Dear Cousin…
Surprised to see me are you? Ahhhhh, Kathleen … They made me go along ..with… Oh, Patrice
Don’t, …Don’t embarrass yourself… You should be ashamed of yourself? But then again, you never did have much of a spine.. And were the most pathetic spoiled little girl … and woman .. If you could ever call you that?. .I have ever met in My Life! The Patrice looked at Paul… is it true.. Is what she said true?
What Dear? Paul ask. Is it true that your not really Paul Worthington III ? Matt and Kitty watched as Paul hesitated. His whole demeanor changed … alright … Yes, it’s true. Now Patrice became Hysterical!
Matt and Kitty looked at each other… Kitty rolled her eyes, then got up and went to her … Patrice,, calm down… calm down… Patrice kept screaming… finally she slapped her … Patrice stopped.. Staring at Kitty…You Slapped Me? Trying not to laugh… Yes I did.. You were Hysterical. Kitty hugged her…
It’s alright… calm down now… listen to me… He lied to you.. To steal from you. And from the family.
Do you understand this? Oh Kathleen … What did I do? Honey , you made a mistake a lot of young girls make…you trusted a man.. When he said he loved you?! We’ll fix this. But, you have to help me…?
How? I need to know where Aunt Constance’ is? Oh, Kathleen… Just tell me Patrice ! well, then she started crying… she’s,…she’s… Patrice?… is she ..still alive?… yes I think so? You’d all better pray she is! Then Patrice… said… they sent her to Fenwick… suddenly Matt said ..is that in Abbeville?
Kitty looked at Matt ,surprised… Yes, How’d you know? When I arrested Tom Murray… he mentioned an old woman someone hide at a place in Abbeville. LaTrese looked at Paul…So it was Murray ..who spilled his guts! So you arrested him huh? Yeah, he’s in prison, right where you two are headed ..Matt said. Matt stayed with LaTrese and Paul waiting for the Sheriff , while Kitty took Patrice up to her room.
Kitty calmed her down and put her to bed,… look Patrice, I’m still upset with you for your part in this…
But, I know they took advantage of your weakness. Kathleen , I’m so sorry… What am I going to do about Paul or whoever he is? Don’t worry about that right now.. We’ll fix that.. And him. He’s going to Prison.
You get some sleep… I’ll be back later.
After the sheriff, came and took LaTrese and Paul. .the Sheriff, Matt and Kitty made arrangements to go to Abbeville.
