"Hey Lyla. Ima." A tall brunette clad in tight blue jeans and a tight leather vest said.

"Hey Selena. You helping Luann out today?" Lyla asked the woman.

"Yeah." She walked away from the two blonds heading for Luann's office. She knocked on the door, "Come in."

She pushed open the door to see a blond man standing there talking to Luann, "Oh sorry. I was just letting you know I'm here. I'll start setting up for the first scene." She barely glanced at the blond man but she could see him smiling.

"Thanks hun. Make sure Ima's ready and after you finish dressing the set, will you get the costumes ready?" Luann asked her and she nodded closing the door.

Jax

Once the door close Jax asked Luann, "Who's that?" Luann gave him a look, "Off limits. She's an ex-Marine. She doesn't sleep around." Jax smirked at Luann, "No Jax I'm serious."

"Why is she an ex-Marine?" Jax asked playing with the rings on his hand. "She got court martialed." Jax smiled, "Sounds like Tig. I'll talk to you later Luann." He left her office and was heading for the door when he saw her rubbing Ima down.

He made his way toward them, "Alright Ima you're done, you can go." Ima saw Jax but Selena didn't, "No, you can go, Selena." Jax was standing behind her but she didn't notice him, "How 'bout you move ya ass out of my sight before I kick it."

Ima gave her a look and left. Selena turned and ran into Jax's chest, "Oomph, Sorry." Jax steadied her, "It's cool. Just wanted to introduce myself since I'm your boss, Jax Teller."

Her eyes ran from his head to his feet in seconds, "Selena Fox. Nice to meet you but I'm kinda busy so if you'll excuse me." She went around him. He watched her walk away. The girl was leggy, busty and curvy in all the right places. Her long chocolate brown hair was braided down the back and it went past her ass.

Her face had high cheek bones, bright green eyes, and soft plump lips that he wouldn't mind kissing. He shook his head and headed out the door back to the clubhouse.

Selena

The day was over and her back, feet, everything hurt. She had her bag in hand when she heard Lyla calling her name, "Hey can you give me a ride?" Selena smiled at the blond, "Yeah, where to?"

Lyla adjusted her bag, "Teller-Morrow." Selena nodded, "Sure but you have to feed me." Lyla smiled, "Deal."

They had just pulled in to the lot and she had put the car in park, "They got a bathroom I can use?" Lyla nodded, "Yeah in there."

"Thanks," Selena jogged off to use the bathroom. She was coming out of the bathroom when she ran into someone, "We have to stop running into each other."

Jax chuckled while she rolled her eyes, "Laying it on thick aren't you?" Jax shrugged, "Hey pretty girls make me stupid." She laughed and smiled at him, "I bet." He followed her down the hall, "Hey I got you to laugh and smile so I must not be that stupid."

She shook her head, "No I'm just laughing at your stupidity." Jax placed his hand over his heart, "Ow lady that hurt." She raised an eyebrow and told him to, "Suck it up."

Jax's eyes widened, "You're a hard one." She had almost made it to the door, "Not as hard as you apparently." There was a hiss around the room and a couple damns. Selena glanced at Lyla, "You good? I'll see you later Ly."

Once she walked out the door Lyla busted out laughing, "Sorry but you're not the first guy to try flirting with her. She's not easy." Tig who was setting at a table asked, "Prefers women?" Lyla shook her head, "No, she's just jaded I guess."

Selena

Selena went home to her small hotel room putting her bag down in a chair making sure not to drop it too hard. She threw herself across the bed without a shower or changing. She fell asleep thinking of a blond biker.

She was roughly shaken awake. Somebody was grabbing and pulling at her. She started having flash backs of being in Iraq. She fought the man off of her and went for her purse. He grabbed her ankle causing her to fall hitting her head on the dresser.

She rolled over onto her back. She could feel the blood running down her face. The man was standing over, "You stupid bitch all I wanted was for you to deliver Luann a message but no you scratched me. I think I need to teach you a lesson."

She started to panic and then her training kicked in. She kicked his legs from under him and got herself to her feet. This time she made it to her purse grabbing her cell and the M9 she keeps in there. She dialed Luann's number and pointed the gun at the large man on her floor, "Don't fucking move I'll kill you."

Luann picked, Hun you're late. I need you here.

"I got a rude awakening this morning Luann." She was shaking but she hid it well.

What do you mean, Selena are you okay?

"No Luann Georgie sent someone here to give you a message."

Shit, is he still there?

Selena swallowed, "Yeah he is."

Okay honey I'm calling Jax he should be there soon. Don't do anything till he gets there.

"Okay Luann. I'll wait." She hung up the phone. She kept the gun pointed at the man, "Why did you come here?"

The man smirked at her, "because you're not protected. No one's close enough to save you. You're all alone out here. Do you know this is a whore motel?" The man stood. "You're easy pray bitch."

"Not so easy now." The man shook his head, "No you're still easy." He moved toward her, "Don't fucking move."

The man laughed, "Or what you'll shoot me, little girl you don't have the balls."

Jax

He was hanging out on the picnic table when he got the call from Luann. "Juice, Chibs come on."

"What's up?" Juice asked glancing around. "One of Luann's girls is in trouble. Now let's go." All three headed out toward the motel.

They pulled into the parking lot. Jax took his helmet off, "Luann says she's in room 306." They were heading up the steps when they heard a gunshot, "Shit." They took off running toward the room.

Juice kicked the door in and Jax went in first with Chibs and Juice behind him. Jax put up his hands once he saw Selena with a gun pointed at them, "Better late than never huh? You better leave, I can handle the cops."

They put their guns away and moved inside the room while she lowered her gun but kept it in hand. "Shit you okay?" Chibs walked closer to her, he moved the hair that was covering the cut over her left eye, "Ya gonna need stitches for dat. It's deep."

She gave him a blank look, "You are?" He nodded at her, "Chibs and dats Juice." She nodded, "I'm telling you guys I've got this go. I'll get Luann to call you later just go. Ya'll don't need this shit."

Selena

After they left she sat on the bed waiting for the cops which she had called. The gun was on the bed beside her. She stared off unfocused; she was having flashbacks of the thing that changed her life forever. It was a regular day except for this feeling of unease she had.

She was heading back alone from the chow hall when someone grabbed her from behind. He threw her into an empty tent, she hit the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of her and as she laid there her life flashed in front of her eyes. The man's face came into view it was her Commanding Officer. He pinned her hands above her head never saying a word.

He pulled her pants off and forced himself on her; she cried and begged him the whole time. Over a period of months he would come to her and do the same thing. She couldn't report it she was too far from home but eventually it ate at her and she lost it. It was one of those days and she'd had enough. She waited for him and as he entered and closed the tent she shot him. He died instantly.

A voice broke her free from her nightmare, "Charming Police." She cleared her throat, "In here." Unser and Hale entered the room. Hale picked the gun up off the bed, "What happened?" She explained, "And then he came toward me and I got scared so I pulled the trigger."

Hale moved her hair and saw bruising all over her neck. They were all over her arms and then there was the gash in her head, "Self-defense but we'll have to get the hospital to document the bruising and cuts. Are you okay with that?" She nodded.

"Okay I'll take her over. Document everything." Hale helped her up and walked her to his Jeep.

She was in a paper gown and they were taking pictures of everything; she'd been through this before after she had shot Lt. Marse. She zoned out thinking about how to disassemble her M9 and then put it back together. "Okay you can get dressed now and then we'll stitch you up."

Deputy Chief David Hale stayed with her the whole time and he asked her as the doctor finished sewing up, "Do you have a place to stay?"

"You can go," the doctor said.

Hale and Selena walked out into the hall, "Um, I," She broke off when she saw Luann and Jax walking toward her. "Oh hun, are you okay?" "I'm fine Luann." Hale glared at Jax, "I was just asking Miss Fox if she had some where to stay."

Jax answered, "She'll be staying at the clubhouse so we can keep an eye on her."

"Right," Hale said sarcastically. "Here's my number if you need anything, give me a call." She nodded, "Thanks David." He smiled at her and left.

"Come on I'll take you to the clubhouse." Jax said and she followed behind him looking just a little lost.

Jax

She looked worse than when he found her in the motel room. The cut was closed but the bruises were a deep purple some were even black. They were at his bike, he handed her a helmet and waited for her to get on.

She got on and slid her arms around his waist. Driving to the clubhouse he considered the things that happened to her today and the fact she was so clam. He came to the conclusion it wasn't her first kill.

He pulled into Teller-Morrow, "We'll get your car later. I'm sure we have something you can wear if not Mom loves shopping." She smiled at him, "You don't have to do this."

Jax shrugged, "Hey you're my employee and I take care of my employees. Come, I'll get Half-sack to make you something to eat."

She followed him in. Opie was sitting at the bar, "Playin' price charming again Jax?" Jax shook his head, "Nah she saved herself. Selena this is Opie." Opie held out his hand than notice he had grease on it rubbed it on his pants before holding it back out, "Nice to meet you sorry I was rude."

She just raised an eyebrow at him and then looked at Jax, "Do you have anything I could change into? I would like to get this blood off." Jax nodded, "Yeah hold on. HALF-SACK."

Another blond man appeared, "Yeah?" Jax shook his head, "Do you know where that box of clothes is?" Half-sack nodded, "Yeah I'll I'll just go get it then."

"Half-sack?" Opie nodded, "Don't ask please don't ask." Half-sack came back with a box, "It's mostly underwear so….."

Selena made a face and started looking through the box. She found a shirt with SAMCRO on it and a pair of cotton shorts which she briefly smelled to make sure they were clean. "Sack show Selena the showers." She followed Half-sack down the hall and they heard her ask, "Why do they call you Half-sack?"

Opie shook his head laughing and turned to Jax, "What happened?"

Selena

Half-sack explained but he didn't show it which she thanked god for. He let her in a room, "this is Opie's but I guess it's okay if you use it. I'll tell him you're in here." She nodded, "Thanks."

He left her in the room. She walked into the bathroom. She closed the lid on the toilet and laid her found clothing there. She turned the water on and stripped off her clothes. Once she was only in her bra and panties she got a good look at the scrapes and bruising on her body it was worse than she thought.

You couldn't make out the dog tags on her ribs or the dream catcher on her left shoulder blade. The words Blood, Sweat, Tears on her right were the only thing you could actually see. She sighed as she finished undressing. Stepping in the warm spray of the shower her muscles relaxed and she felt better.

She dressed in the navy blue cotton shorts and the SAMCRO shirt. She padded barefoot out into the bar, "What's SAMCRO?" Jax and Opie turned to look at her as did everyone else in the room. "Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original."

The guy that answered her was older with gray hair. She nodded, "I see." A blue eyed curly haired man walked up to her, "Who is this lovely lady?" She smiled at the man, "Not interested."

Jax laughed, "Tig this is Selena she works with Luanne." Eyebrows went up around the room, "No I don't make them. I'm more stage crew." She looked past Tig at Jax, "You said something about food?"

"Right Half-sack. He'll take care of you." She followed Kip to a kitchenette, "SO are you like their bitch?" he frowned at her, "What? No, well kind of. It's like being in the army again."

He started to make her a sandwich, "Soldier huh? How did you end up here?" He shrugged, "You know shit happens and I found somewhere I fit so I stayed."

She nodded, "Yeah I get that I'm still looking for my place. I was a Marine." He looked at her, "No shit. Really?"

She nodded, "I can show you my dog tag tattoo if you want proof." He finished her sandwich, "Here. So why did you stop being a Marine?" She took a bit and shrugged, "Shit happens."
