Hey everyone, this is an deleted chapter I never posted it was supposed to be the first chapter but I cut it. Well enjoy and if you can drop a review…

I knew I had to be precise.

I sat in the open café a pale blue tank top with jeans with rips in the legs, I was a tourist in New Orleans for today. I sipped cold orange juice in a wine glass as I waited for my order, I was watching as five men walked in none of them are the man I am looking for.

"Miss can I move you to a smaller table?" my waitress said looking nervous. I assumed the five men needed this very table.

"Or we can join such a lovely lady," the tall bald man smiled, he used a cane. "It would be my pleasure, please join me for brunch," I smiled as seductively as I could.

They all sat in turn, ordering drinks "My name is Robert Morel, this is my associate Mr. Marcus Baptiste." He smiled his white teeth flashing, I knew those names, they are on our watch list at the FBI. He introduced the other three but their names rang no bells.

"A pleasure gentleman, my name is Iris, I am here on business. This city is stunning," I flirted a little. The food was perfect as they chatted together, then with myself.

"So Iris, what pray tell do you do?" I smiled taking another sip of my juice before answering "I 'm a Judge and here meeting a few others for a convention. I'm from Maine." They all looked rather impressed.

"I knew I recognized you, I think I handled a case with you as the ruling Judge," Mr. Baptiste smiled at me "Maybe," I returned his smile with a very sly brush to his hand as Morel was talking to Mr. Daniels.

"I am having a private party tonight; the elite of Louisiana will be in attendance. I would like to extend an invitation to such a brilliant and beautiful woman," Morel smiled as did Mr. Baptiste.

"It would be a pleasure," my voice thick and sweet like honey. He wrote the address down "It is also a masquerade party, please dress accordingly," his voice was deep with a thick accent.

"I most certainly will Mr. Morel. I best take my leave, I believe I have some shopping to do." In fact, I did, I didn't bring clothes for this event. But if I could also get my hands on these men it would make this trip worthwhile.

They stood each kissing my cheeks in turn, Morel and Baptiste also kissed my hand bidding me a good day. I left, walking the cobbled streets; this city felt alive. I walked into a local shop it was filled with evening gowns, masks as well this was just what I needed.

"May I help you, Miss?" she smiled sensing I had money I take it. "I need a gown, heels, and mask for a party tonight." I answered as she looked me over.

"I may have something for you, please follow me," we took another hour before I had a black Dolce & Gabbana sleeveless Round-Neck lace gown, it was sheer lace in most spots showing skin, I picked a pair of black rustic strappy sandaled heels, Spartan chic, their gorgeous woven strap detail. Last was the mask; it was black with a red vine engraved adorned with a red rose along with black and red feathers.

I walked back to my hotel needing to ready myself, by eight I was done my hair was down curls everywhere, my lips blood red with a gun strapped to my thigh. I had to remember why I was doing this, for my daughter Anela.

I walked to the taxi I hailed, I slipped him the tip with the address "Be there in ten, miss," he was off, I sat back thinking of Keegan he was here now I just had to locate him I was meeting my contact at midnight, he had information as always.

People are on the sidewalk laughing, security was high as I stepped from the car paying him, watching him drive off. My heels clicked as I made my way to the muscular man standing at the door with a clip board, my grey eyes bright as he looked down.

"Name miss," he was blunt that was a good thing "Iris, I am a guest of Mr. Morel and Mr. Baptiste," my voice firm looking him dead in his eyes, even my body language was stern.

"Yes, please come in and enjoy your night," he took my hand helping me take the large step into the mansion. It was filled with noise, this was why I lived in the country, peace and quiet. Men talking, laughing with topless ladies on their arms, this was an outrage, I was disgusted to the core.

"Mr. Baptiste," I smiled touching his shoulder, he looked at me with the mask, he wasn't sure "Iris from this morning," I giggled he gave a large brilliant smile.

"Oh my, you look ravishing Iris. Please," he held out his arm as I slide mine into his "A lovely house you have Marcus," I complimented him, he looked smug showing me the grand chandelier.

"Iris, dear if I was only ten years younger," we turned seeing Mr. Morel leaning heavily on his cane.

"You flatter me, I rather like my men older; much more experience," I smiled in a way I understood as flirting. "Now you flatter me, Iris," we laughed when a man came up behind me.

"Sir they have arrived," I knew that voice as if it was the one of my daughter, her father Keegan. Mr. Baptiste turned causing me to turn as well "Thank you Keegan, my dove we will be right back, a meeting shorts," he smiled kissing my hand.

"I will be waiting," I said trying to use a softer tone "Keegan please bring our stunning guest a drink, keep an eye on her please," Morel said then the vanished.

"What can I get you, miss," I refused to look him in the eyes, he would know.

"An orange juice, I don't drink. Thank you," I look at the crowd waiting for him to walk away, when he does I see him answer his cell talking as he poured the drink. I saw Officer Kwon here, I knew he was working with Bobo, they are looking for Keegan.

But they vanished upstairs, I think I will take my leave now, I would follow Kwon and Keegan tomorrow, I glided through the crowd. I did notice he never looked at the topless ladies prancing around. My cell went off, I hurried my pace answering it once I was outside "Hello my sweet,"

"Mommy, I really miss you. Granny gave me a slice of pie before dinner," Anela laughed as Mabel cursed I could hear it through the phone.

"I am working sweetheart, but tell Mabel she is in for it when I arrive back home. It will be soon Anela, I promise. I love you but I have to go," I hated rushing her off but I couldn't blow my cover.

"Goodnight mommy," her voice was like sugar "Sleep well sweetie," I hung up when a hand touched my shoulder "Your drink," I half turned taking it "Thank you,"

"I will wait for you inside, I see you are talking," a sigh of relief when he walked away, I watched Bobo and Kwon dragging Baptiste into a black car, I slide into the taxi as Keegan rushed out looking in a rage.

This was just a bonus chapter, I loved the screen in the movie.
