Happy pulled into the graveled lot of the diner behind Jax and Chibs who had met him at the Oregon-California border to escort him down to Charming. He was coming to lend a hand since shit with the Mayans seemed to be heating back up.

Because they were late getting back to Charming, Jax decided they would stop at the diner about fifteen minutes outside of town. Which was fine by him, he hadn't eaten since about noon.

As they were parking their bikes they noticed a guy dragging a woman who was trying to keep hold of a wailing toddler. "Move, you fuckin' bitch and shut that fuckin' brat up or I will." The guy's voice was loud and obnoxious.

He couldn't hear what the woman said, but it obviously set the dude off. He tried to backhand the chick, catching the kid's face in the process. He looked over to see Jax and Chibs heading for the woman and child who were once again being dragged towards a red Beemer with Illinois plates.

As the three of them silently approached he could see that the toddler had blood coming down her face. He could hear the woman trying to calm the kid down. "Shh…it's okay Sophie. Mama's got ya and eventually your Grandpa and uncles will realize that this stupid fuck snatched us and they'll put his stupid ass where it belongs. Six feet under with the rest of his Nazi friends."

"Shut up you fuckin' whore. By the time my so-called Dad's fuckin' MC figure out shit, you'll have gotten me what I need and both you and that fuckin' brat will be history before your Dad and brothers can do a fuckin' thing."

The fuck had his back turned to the three of them, but the chick had spotted them. He put a finger to his lips indicating he wanted her to keep her mouth shut that they were there. She glared at the guy. "Dougie, there was a reason your Dad disowned you. You're a Nazi piece of shit."

"Shut up you fucking whore!" He gave a grim smile. He could see she was keeping the douche focused on her so they wouldn't be noticed. And by the aggravation in the guy's voice, she was doing a fine job.

"I work at a record store. Get it straight you moron. My mom was the whore. And a good one at that." The chick was holding her hand to the cut on the kid's face. "Although I'd rather be a whore than a Nazi bitch."

He looked over to see Chibs grinning. The chick had balls, he had to give her that. She acted like the three of them didn't exist and continued her needling. "You've always been a little fuckin' bitch Dougie. Why do you think your Dad went and found a kid that wasn't? Needed to have at least one kid who wasn't a total fuckin' embarrassment."

The moment the guy raised his arm to hit her again, Jax put his gun to the back of the dude's head. "Didn't anyone ever teach you it's wrong to put your hands on women and children?" Jax's voice was quiet, but deadly serious. He'd always thought that SAMCRO's VP was a little soft, only getting where he had because he was John Teller's son. But now, he could see that if this prick made the wrong move, Jax would pull the trigger.

The chick looked at him, Jax and Chibs, then grinned. The grin reminded him of someone but he couldn't place it. "They tried. But Dougie is a moron."

He barked out a laugh as he grabbed the guy's arm.

Jax nodded at Chibs who went over the chick and the kid. "Let me see the little lass' wound."

The chick nodded and pulled the blood-soaked hand back. Chibs looked at Jax. "Little one is gonna need stitches Jackie." Jax pulled out his cel and called the clubhouse telling someone to bring the van. Now. After that Jax dialed another number. "Tara. Meet me at the clubhouse, bring your medical bag." Jax didn't give the woman a chance to argue. "It's a kid Tara, just do it." Then hung up again.

The guy was struggling to get out of his grasp. "You fuckers have any idea who I am? If you know what's good for you, you'll let me go and…" Jax gave him another nod.

"Shut up." He pulled his arm back and cold-cocked the asshole, knocking him out.

Jax looked at the chick. "Care to tell us what the hell is going on here?"

He had let the unconscious guy fall to the ground and leaned against the car looking at the chick. She had dark hair that was long and full of unruly curls and even in the low light of the parking lot he could see her eyes were a vivid blue. She was wearing a pair of faded Levi's with a couple of racer back tanks. The perfect nipples from small pert tits poking through proof that there was no bra under the tanks. If he'd been forced to guess he would say she was about five-ten, all arms and legs. She probably didn't weigh any more than a hundred and twenty pounds.

The chick sighed and indicated at the unconscious fuck. "Dougie's Dad, who was kind of my adopted Uncle died a couple months ago. Dougie found out that he had left me a safe deposit key that goes to a safe deposit box in Charming." She closed her eyes and hugged the kid a little tighter. "Two days ago, Dougie shows up at my apartment in Chicago, ranting about how he needed the money that was in that box. Killed Sophie's dad right in front of her and then when I got home he forced us in my car and we've been driving ever since. Finally convinced him to stop here to get real food for Sophie."

Jax nodded. "He mentioned an MC." The SAMCRO VP's voice was tight. There were a lot of MC's who hated the Sons.

The chick nodded. "Satan's Sons. Chicago charter. His Dad was the Sargent-at-Arms."

He relaxed. Satan's Sons were a brother club. Twenty charters throughout the Midwest and the South. And the Chicago charter was the Satan's Sons mother charter.

Jax nodded while he was thinking. Then the VP looked back at the chick and then down to the dude. "That's Ripper's kid?"

She nodded. "Was. Rip disowned him about five years ago. He was patched into the club, but helping white hate run meth behind the club's back. Since he was Rip's kid, they stripped him of his patch, beat the shit out of him and banished him from Chicago. Guess he didn't learn his fucking lesson."

Jax looked at him and Chibs. Both of them shrugged, letting Jax deal with the chick. Now that he knew that this was Ripper's kid, he knew who the chick was. Life around Charming was going to get interesting.
