PART #22

Lenore had told Hollingsworth she needed to pick up some groceries. He was reading his morning paper, and not paying much attention to what she was saying. She said, “I will take the car, and I should be back around ten o’clock. He muttered something; and Lenore left the kitchen to go back upstairs, and pick up her purse. Hollingsworth did not know that she had been putting aside money for sometime. She kept it hidden from him; and since he rarely came into her bedroom, it was not difficult to keep it concealed. She had managed to save $1,000.00 which she hoped would help her to leave Lake Charles. She folded the money neatly, put it in her purse, and walked down the hall and stairs to the front door.

She closed the door silently, and walked to the car. As she drove away, she wondered if Hollingsworth even noticed she was gone. Driving to the heart of Lake Charles, she pulled down a street, and stopped in front of a brick building. She got out of the car, and walked into a lower level basement flat. She asked for Lentina Du Pree, and was told to take a seat, and she would be with her shortly.

While Lenore was waiting, she heard a man come in; and say, “I need to disappear for awhile, can you help me?” There was something vaguely familiar about that strange looking man. She could see he was quite nervous as he stood there; and he kept looking over his shoulder, as if expecting someone to come through the door after him. He turned around; and suddenly she realized where she had seen that man. He had been in their home, and this was Peter Dunkirk. He was the man that Hollingsworth wanted killed. She had overheard Hollingsworth and the man called De Nato talking about eliminating this man for not getting the job done on Boudreau.

She was glad that Peter Dunkirk had never seen her before. That gave her an advantage. She had given a false name to the people, so there should be no problem when her name was called. She wondered if Peter had found out that Hollingsworth was trying to have him killed. He wanted to get away, and it was obvious he was frightened of something or someone.

The lady asked Peter if it were an emergency, and he said, “Indeed it is an emergency.” She looked over at Lenore, who waved and said, “Please take care of him first; I can wait.”

Peter was taken into an office, and the door was closed. Soon another representative called for Lenore, and Lenore was taken into another office. She told them she was in a terrible home situation, and needed to be able to get away without leaving a trace. Could they possibly help her? They assured her they could do that. She told them this might also involve an adult daughter, and she would have to get back to them with the date she wanted to leave the area. They asked her for a week’s notice, if at all possible. That would give them time to get everything lined up. Lenore told them she would do her best to see that was done. They asked her if it were necessary for her to leave the country, or just leave the area. She told them she thought it would be best to leave the country. They told her she would need a passport, and offered to start proceedings for her. She asked if it were possible to use a fictitious name, for she did not want her own personal name where it could be viewed. They assured her that could be done.

After she finished there, she went to pick up some groceries, and drove back home. Lucia was now up, and wanted to know if she would like to ride along with her to the hospital to see Boudreau before he was dismissed. Lenore told her she would be happy to go with her.

When the two women reached the hospital, they saw there was a police officer standing outside Boudreau’s room. He was talking to Boudreau’s father, Bowregard La Faye. Lucia was in a panic, and wondered if something had happened to Boudreau? She quickly walked toward Bow and the police officer; and asked, “Has something else happened to Boudreau?” Bow could see the concern on her face, and he said, “Lucia, don’t worry, Boudreau is all right.” Lenore had caught up to Lucia; and she heard Bow say, “Lucia, the man who passed himself off as a doctor was not really a doctor. Boudreau’s doctor did not call in anyone on consultation. We are afraid that man was the man who stabbed Boudreau, and had every intention of doing him bodily harm.”

Lucia was terribly upset. She said, “Who could possibly want to do bodily harm to Boudreau?” Bow looked at the woman with Lucia; and asked, “Are you by any chance Lucia’s mother?” “Yes, I am Lucia’s mother,” responded the attractive older woman. Bowregard held out his hand; and said, “I am Boudreau’s father.” “You have a fine son, Mr. La Faye,” said Lenore. “I do believe our daughter is quite taken with him.” Bow looked at her, and wondered how a woman of her breeding could have become involved with a man like Hollingsworth Deverall. He said, “We think you have a most beautiful daughter, Mrs. Deverall, and we have seen she does care for our son.”

Lucia looked at her mother; and said, “Mama, I would really like to go in to see Boudreau. Is it all right with you to wait here for a few minutes?” Lenore said, “Of course, go see your young man. I will be fine, and I would like to talk to Mr. La Faye.” Bow seemed surprised that she would want to talk with him, but he was curious. She looked at him and the police officer when Lucia left. She said, “I need to talk with you concerning your son, Boudreau. I have information that is pertinent to the stabbing case, and you need to hear it because your son is still in danger.”
