Disclaimer: I don't own SoA!
Danielle was working the late shift at work when some bikers pulled into the Diner's parking lot. She knew without even looking who it would be that came in. She hated when she had to be the one to serve them. She really didn't like them at all.
She sighed as she heard the bell jangle letting her know that they were coming in. Today was the one day she didn't want to have to do with them. She's already had the day from hell and now it was just going to get worse. She wished that she would have just called in sick. She looked over at the table and saw that four of them had come in and she knew they would all want coffee so she got the cups and took them to the table and then went back for the coffee pot before going back to the table and pouring their coffee.
"Do you guys know what you want or do you need a few minutes?" Danielle asked.
The guy nearest her said in his raspy voice "We'll have the usual."
Danielle nodded and went behind the counter and told the cook what she needed. She should have known that they wouldn't change their order. They haven't in the two months that they have been coming there. After she gave the order she finished clearing off the bar/counter so that once she was done serving them she could go home. She just hoped that they would eat quickly so she could get out of here.
Once the order was up she took it over to them along with ketchup for the fries. Once she did that she looked and saw that they needed refills on their coffee so she went and got the coffee pot again and went back over and refilled their coffee cups before leaving them once more. She didn't say anything to them. She didn't really want to talk to them if she could help it.
She was what everyone called a good girl and she had no doubt that they were what everyone would call bad boys. She didn't have room in her life for a bad boy. Her life was full with a four year old son, abusive ex husband and taking care of her Mom. She didn't have time to look at a man even if she would have wanted to look at one.
Happy looked at the woman who was behind the counter and for the hundredth time he wondered about her. He didn't even know her name. Well he did but not because she told him. He saw her name on her shirt. In the two months that he had been coming here she never once said anything to him other than to take his order. He was use to women wanting him and talking to him.
He saw that she glanced up at the clock on the wall and wondered if maybe she was married even if she didn't have a wedding band on. He knew that she was waiting on them to finish and get out so she could finish cleaning and leave to go wherever it was that she wanted to go. He looked up and saw that it was close to eleven and he knew that, that was the time that the Diner closed so he finished eating and got his friends to hurry up and finish eating so they could go.
Tig who was up in Tacoma until Friday looked at Happy and said "Do you know that girl? She's very quiet."
Happy shook his head. "Nah I don't know her brother. I've been coming in here for two months now and she doesn't say anything to me other than to take my order."
Tig cocked an eyebrow at Happy. "Are you serious? I thought all women wanted you."
Happy laughed. "Nah man not all women. But enough about the woman. Let's get back to the clubhouse for the party."
Tig nodded and stood up. He looked over at the woman and decided to be nice for once and leave a nice tip. He didn't know her but from what he saw in her eyes earlier she could probably use it. He may be all things but one thing he wasn't was a woman beater and he somehow knew that the waitress had a look of fear in her eye.
"Leave her a tip man she needs it." Tig growled as Happy got up without putting a tip down.
Happy looked at Tig in surprise and said "How do you know that?"
Tig shook his head. "I just know. She has the look of someone who either gets beat on or got beat on. My guess is that's why she doesn't talk to you."
Happy's mouth dropped open but he looked at Duke and Skin and said "You two leave tips too."
Duke and Skin nodded and got their wallets out and left some money on the table before Skin walked over to the counter and surprised everyone by saying "Danielle do you have a ride home tonight or are you walking?"
Danielle smiled at the one biker she actually liked and she said "I have my car tonight. I'll be fine Skin."
Skin nodded and said "Well if you need me you know my number."
Danielle nodded and thanked him. She looked around and saw that the other three were looking at him in shock and she hung her head to hide the smile that was playing on her mouth. She walked around the counter and over to the table that they had occupied and quickly picked up the dishes and walked them back to the kitchen so that the dishwasher could finish up and get out of here. She then quickly filled the salt and pepper shakers and wiped down the table after putting the money in her pocket that was left on the table.
She looked up when she heard a noise and was surprised to see that all four bikers were still there. "Did you need something else?"
Skin laughed and said "You might want us to pay for what we just ate honey."
Danielle shook her head. "No, you left money on the table for your food."
This time Happy shook his head. "No that is your tip."
Danielle's mouth dropped open but she closed it and nodded. She walked over to the register and told them their total and then gave them change back. Once they were out of the Diner she finished wiping their table down so that she could leave.
"Mike I'm heading out. Everything out here is done." Danielle called back into the back.
Mike came out from the back. "Do you want me to walk you out Sweetheart? I know that your ex was here earlier."
Danielle shook her head. "I'll be fine Mike. I'm sure I got it across to him tonight."
Mike hugged Danielle and said "Alright sweetie I'll see you tomorrow afternoon."
Danielle nodded and walked out knowing that Mike would lock up behind her. She walked over to her car but as soon as she got close to it she saw her ex standing there. She knew that if she walked any closer to him that he would do something so she turned on her heel and started walking back towards the Diner so that she could get Mike.
"Danielle you bitch you're coming with me!" Bruce yelled.
Danielle quickened her steps but didn't even get four steps before she was shoved to the ground. She turned over onto her back and started fighting back. She screamed in pain when Bruce kicked her hard in the ribs and she heard the crack of a rib breaking. Even though it hurt she tried to pull him to the ground but instead he kicked her again making her scream out in pain.
Happy, Tig, Skin and Duke were all sitting on their bikes talking when they heard a woman scream in pain. Skin was the first one off his bike and taking off towards the sound followed by Happy, Tig and Duke. When they got to the side of the building they saw a man kicking someone on the ground and when they got closer they all saw that it was the waitress Danielle.
Happy was furious and did a round house kick making the guy who was harming the woman fall to the ground. Before he even thought about it he was on top of the guy beating him. It took Tig, Duke and Skin five minutes to pull him off of the guy.
Happy looked at the man and growled in his raspy voice "If you come near her again I'll kill you."
Bruce looked up at Happy and didn't say anything. Instead he struggled to his feet and with a glare at Happy and Danielle he stumbled away leaving Happy, Tig, Duke and Skin to deal with an unconscious Danielle and to deal with Mike who came running out.
