Chapter Six

Welcome Back to the Family

As the days began passed, Jenna and Henri both started to relax a little. It had been over two weeks since their trip to Chicago, and nothing out of the ordinary had occurred in Pella or any of the other towns nearby. Henri had put his force and the police departments in other towns on alert for suspicious activity based on an “anonymous tip” of possible mob activity in the area. All patrols in the area were on the lookout for a black Cadillac with blacked out windows, which was illegal in the state, or any other vehicle with the license plate removed and dark tinted windows.

Slowly Jenna got back into her routine, enjoying her quiet life and her time with Henri. They were even talking about moving in together, considering they were practically living together now anyhow. It was quick, but things were just right between them. Jenna knew she loved him. Henri was a good, kind man who just happened to look like a Greek god. She could see herself settling down with him and having the life she always dreamed of. She even sometimes daydreamed of children running around the house, the perfect mix of her and Henri.

Of course, she hadn’t brought any of this up to Henri yet. She was still afraid of spooking him. He had his own wounds to heal, and she wasn’t sure if he was in the same place yet. He still hadn’t talked about his heartbreak from the past, though she had heard enough versions from others in town to know it had nearly destroyed him as a young man. Until she heard from his own lips that he was over his past and loved her and only her, she would wait to tell him the extent of her feelings.

Almost three weeks after Chicago, everything went to hell. Jenna was about to wrap up her Thursday lunch shift at the diner when she glanced out the window and felt her stomach drop. A black, nondescript car was parked across the street, its tinted windows and clear luxury out of place in Pella. The door opened, and someone she recognized got out. Manny, Vic’s right-hand man, stood out like a sore thumb in his suit and shades. Panicking, she ran to the back office.

“Anna, I have to call Henri! I can’t go out front. If someone in a suit comes in looking for me, please, please, don’t tell him I’m here,” she begged, hoping her boss wouldn’t ask too many questions.

Anna looked startled. “Of course, my dear. Call Henri. I’ll watch the front.” She looked a little shaken but walked out front while Jenna dialed Henri.

Before Henri even finished saying hello, Jenna interrupted. “They’re here. I just saw one of Vic’s right-hand men get out of a car like the one that followed us from Chicago. Someone did see me, and now they’re looking for me. What am I going to do?” Jenna cried.

Henri tried to keep his voice calm and professional, but she could hear the worry in it.
