“Don’t!” McCrae yelled louder as Ellie looked about to body-slam him.
She stopped herself, turned her glare on McCrae, then turned to grab up her clothes, which were strewn along the couch.
Crassley, holding a hand to his head, said, “I’m calling my lawyer. You came into my house and harassed me, hit me.”
“You were going to rape me!” Ellie spit at him as she pulled on her pants.
“It ain’t rape when it’s consensual.”
“Wait, wait.” McCrae put a hand out to Ellie, who’d put on her shoes, heels, and was ready to come at him again. “Don’t give him what he wants.”
“I see the curtains match the drapes.” Crassley grinned as his eyes fastened on the sheer scrap of panty material.
“Ellie. He’ll sue you. He wants you to attack him.”
Tears stood in her eyes, and her chest heaved. “It might be worth it,” she said, but she backed up a few steps away from the battle and finished getting dressed.
McCrae marched Crassley outside, got cuffs from the police vehicle, and put his hands behind his back.
About that time, the other Crassleys showed up, Booker and Harry. Nia was right behind them. They all glared at McCrae, who was opening the back door of his police vehicle. Ellie stalked outside to her Escort and glared over at Gale, a red-haired virago ready to go at him again.
The other Crassleys started protesting and griping, glaring at McCrae and Ellie. “Don’t say anything to her,” Nia warned Gale.
For an answer, Gale made kissy noises with his pursed lips at Ellie, then thrust his crotch at her before McCrae could get him locked into the back seat.
“It’s me who’s going to go after you,” Ellie told him, stepping forward. “Attempted rape.”
“Suck my dick,” he told her, grinning.
“If I ever got that thing in my mouth, I’d bite it off,” she assured him.
McCrae slammed the back door.
“Hey,” Booker suddenly yelled in discovery. “You two were the ones fucking the night of the barbecue! Woody told me.”
“That’s right!” Harry concurred, and they slapped palms.
McCrae said to Ellie, “I can call for some help and drive you.”
“Nope. You take this piece of shit and dump him wherever he needs to go. I’ll drive myself.” She peered through the window of the Trailblazer at Gale and said, “Nia said it was ‘a job.’ ”
“Don’t listen to her!” Nia shrieked as her brothers’ heads turned to look her way.
“I’m coming after you,” Ellie added as she walked away. Then she slammed into her own car and backed up, creating a spray of gravel.
McCrae circled his vehicle around the three other Crassleys and followed after her. They bumped down the drive and onto the road.
“So you had her too, huh,” Gale said. “That makes us brothers, in a way.”
“Shut up, Crassley.”
“At the barbecue. Heard all about that one. Everybody was at it, huh. Even that lesbo girl with Tanner. Funny, they’re both dead now.”
McCrae kept silent by sheer will.
“I heard Tanner was with every one of ’em that he could get, and that preacher’s daughter was throwin’ herself at him. Killed herself ’cause she wasn’t a virgin, and she had that preacher daddy. Bet he wanted to kill Stahd. I would.”
McCrae closed his ears. No one had ever said Carmen had sex with Tanner that night. He went back to something Ellie had said.
