The devil within

I know what you did

Much to his dismay, lee was sentenced to bed rest. Daisy assured him she would keep all the boys in check back at the station. And that she would be round every evening with a healthy meal for him.

God what lee would give for a candy bar or five and a bottle of beer. This was his warning. A warning to look after him self if he was going to protect Daisy and have that future he wants with her. It broke his heart lying awake that night thinking of leaving her a widow with his children

But he was getting carried away, that wouldn't be for a few years yet. He still had to marry that girl and take her to meet his folks.

He had only been in bed half a day and it was already driving him crazy. Deciding to go for a short walk, he picked up his mail as he passed the front door. Another white envelope, with just his name.

This time a note written in the same handwriting as before. "What the fuck?" He exclaimed.

"You thought you were alone that night didn't ya?
Well I saw it, I saw everything. You killed Dianna Belle.
Probably raped her too.

What I don't understand is why? What did that sweet girl do to you?
Now your gonna do the same to her daughter.

Leave Daisy Alone or else"

That was just the beginning of the weekly letters.

"I told you to leave Daisy alone.
But then again you like em young don't ya?
All those girls you take to the parking lot with ya

Does Daisy know you still do drugs?
Even after you promised to stop?

I know everything Lee"

Now Lee had his suspicions on who was sending these notes. Hell it could be anyone in the town. Almost everyone had something against him, all but his Daisy.

Of course he wasn't going to stop seeing her, after all he was the sheriff and there was no proof that any of this was true. And he sure as hell wasn't going to tell her about it.

It wasn't till the latest later came that his suspicions were confirmed.

"You don't like listening to other folk do ya sheriff?

You don't want your secrets coming out before the election now do we?
You don't want Daisy to know the truth?
That the man she "loves" murdered her mother

Imagine how she would feel, the man of her dreams a killer.

Not only Daisy, I'm sure the town would have something to say about you
Being romantically involved with your daughter.

That's right I know the truth lee,
Daisy IS your daughter"

No, no this isn't true. Daisy can't be his daughter, it's impossible. Dianna was pregnant before Lee had sex with her, wasn't she?

The Belle family were always the talk of the town. George and Dianna with here emerald green eyes, there daughter with baby blue. Anyone could see Dianna hadn't exactly been faithful to george. They always denied they accusations and rumours, they said god bless them with an angel.

George beat the shit out of him the day he found out. The young deputy already abusing his power, having sex with any woman he wanted. Only thing was he didn't want Dianna.

It was Dianna who lured him to a motel room, said how George was beating her and needed a way out. Now that wasn't a lie George was an abusive husband but, she didn't want a way out. She wanted a thrill she couldn't get from cocaine.

She threatened the upcoming election, how she would tarnish his reputation in a matter of seconds. Lee was a fool back then, but the election meant everything to him. Being sherif, having all that power to use and abuse.

"Hi honey I'm home" Daisy joked as she entered his home. It had been three weeks of bed rest and lee was finally cleared to come back to work on the Monday on light duties. God did he like that sound of that.

Daisy coming home to him, in their home, together.

She placed the Pyrex dish covered by a dish towel on the table before giving him a peck on the cheek. "Your spoiling me sugar" lee confessed, folding up the news paper he was reading to give her his full attention.

He subconsciously licked his lips, her dresses always hugged her figure in all the right places. How she managed to find such beautiful fabrics at the market was beyond him. "I said I was gonna look after ya like you did me" she explained making her way to the kitchen.

Lee removed the towel to see what she had brought tonight. He never realised how good of a cook she was, he guessed she had to grow up fast. Not having her Ma around to do all the chores expected of a house wife.

Tonight's meal was a part cooked Tuna bake, she flicked on the oven before returning for the dish "I thought I was suppose to cutting down sugar?" He quizzed with a chuckle. It looked like she'd prepared enough to feed a whole family. "I hope you ain't saying no to some company?" She asked back with a smirk.

Wait she was staying?
"Pa is well, preoccupied we shall say" she shouted from the kitchen. Lee felt guilty, she shouldn't of had to cook her own meal. Okay so he couldn't cook but he would have come up with some sort of plan to impress her.

This would have been the perfect second date, well it still could be. "Then stay the night" he suggested, leaning on the door frame. Her eyes widened as her head snapped to his direction "oh I don't mean like that honey! Unless you wanna?" He attempted to dig himself out of an early grave.

She giggled at his flustered state "maybe next time" she winked, popping the oven closed with her hip. "I guess I could say that I left for work early. He'd be too hungover to notice I'm in the same dress" she walked over to him, running her hands over his chest.

"Don't mind sharing the bed do ya?" He asked with a not so innocent smile. Placing his hands on her waist. " I wouldn't wanna sleep anywhere else" she breathed pulling him into a passionate kiss.
