The Power Of Love Part 23 (over 13) Shortly at the end of breakfast Devin approached father. "Father let me be the one to go to Paracelus and Megan this morning?" "I don't know son." "Why not?" "Paracelus is evil he sees through people." "He may know you are a set up." "If any one can pull off a con it is me and you know it." Catherine and Vincent approached them than, father I agree with Devin stated Catherine. He had me fooled once before as Jeff Stadler." "I think he can do it as well father, said Vincent. "Let him at least try." "Don't worry I can fool the old goat allright. I guarantee it.". "Well it seems I am out numbered here." "Give it a shot Devin but be very very careful Paracelus can see things far better than people give him credit for." "I will remember." "I'll get their breakfast from William and go." With that statement Devin left. Glaring at them Jacob said "I hope you two know what you are doing." " We cannot afford any mistakes." Devin will be fine Catherine and Vincent answered in unison. As father watched Devin leave the grand hall he hoped all would go well. After he was gone Catherine and Vincent told father they could follow Devin if it would make him feel better." "They would observe the situation from a distance.'" "No you two run along." "Spend some quality time with your son." "Let me do the worrying for all of us." "Allright father we will be going." Giving him a hug they left. "Good morning you two said Devin when he arrived with their breakfast. Both Paracelus and Megan wondered about the man before them. Neither had seem him before. "You look familiar Devin." "Have we met before asked Paracelus.?" Megan was mesmerized just as her father was curious about the handsome man before them. "I don't think so." "I left the tunnels about twenty years ago and just recently returned." "Allow me to introduce myself." "I am Devin." "Ah Ha, that's it your Jacob's bastard son. (he words sent Devin's temper into a boil but he held his composure) "You resemble the old man." "Well you and Jacob have more than these tunnels in common I see and he looked directly at Megan." Not wanting to be caught staring Megan quickly looked away form Devin. Not missing Devin's pun Paracelus started laughing." "You got your dad's spunk I see." "Whatever replied Devin." "Here is your breakfast handing them their plates. "Someone will be back to get them later and Devin turned to leave." Paracelus stopped him just as Devin knew he would. "Devin I guess things have changed a lot since you left." "Yes they have." The tunnels have gotten even more beautiful over the past three years." "How so Paracleus asked.?" "The lovely Catherine Chandler has graced them with her presence." "Have you met her?" Paracelus hid a secret smile realizing he just found another ally. "Yes I have met her." "She is quite lovely." "Have you known her long Devin?" "I met her a little over two years ago." "I had taken a job at the DA's office and when I saw her she took my breath away." (Devin didn't have to act about this revelation. He thought Catherine was the most beautiful woman he ever saw). "I wanted her and I was determined to get her."" Of couse that was before I knew she knew about the world Below." "She didn't know who you were asked Paracelus.? "Not at the time." "She never put the names together." "So how did she find out asked Paracelus?" Part 23A |
