"You what?" I asked almost choking.
"Exactly if the club will kill me if they find out. Now this prick Potter wants all the Intel on the club and he's blackmailing me if I don't tell them they're going to out me" he said.
"How can they do that?" I asked.
"Lissie they can do what they want, he's the assistant district attorney" he sighed.
"Well what can you do?" I asked, "What will the club do?"
"Kill me" He said shaking his head.
"Maybe if I have a word with Jax, he loves you he's the President now. They should bring it in to the new era" I said.
"But what if he doesn't understand and them I'm fucked" He asked.
"Well you can't be a snitch you'll be dead anyway" I said.
"I know babe this is why I don't know what the fuck to do" he replied.
"You can't leave it too long babe" I said.
"I know" he said squeezing my hands.
"Look I'm going to leave you for a while, don't do anything stupid will you" I said touching his face.
He kissed the palm of my hand and smiled weakly. "I won't do anything before speaking to you first" he replied.
"Love you baby" I said kissing his head.
"Love you too Liss" he smiled.
I went back home and called Jax, to say I had seen Juice he just had a bad hangover and needed to clear his head.
"He was wasted" Jax laughed.
"I know he will be alright once he's got some food down him" I lied.
"Ok babe thanks for letting me know; make sure he's better for work in the morning" He replied
"I'll make sure" I laughed.
I put the phone down and exhaled loudly. I was so happy to see Juice walk in half an hour later. I jumped up and hugged him.
"Babe we will get through this don't worry, just promise me you won't snitch" I said kissing him.
"I promise I won't" he replied.
"Because it's only going to end up bad that way, at least there's a chance if you explain to Jax" I said.
"It's not as easy as that though is it babe" he said looking at the floor.
"No it's not but if you grass that's it you're done dead and so will I" I said.
"Don't you think I know this? But that cunt's got me by the short and curly's what the hell am I supposed to do?" he said in tears.
"I know he has babe. Can you honestly believe that Jax will kill you over this?" I asked.
"No I don't think he will but he could kick me out the club, and that may as well be killing me. The club is my life; I never had anyone have my back like they do. They're my family I have no one else" he said wiping his eyes.
"You had no one else, now you have me" I said.
"But if they kick me out that's it for us in this town, done! No way can we stay here" He said.
"Well then we leave together" I said
"I can't even deal with all this" he said shaking his head.
"Go get some sleep babe and we will discuss it later, you're clearly shattered and not thinking straight" I said.
"I wished I could sleep" he replied.
"I'm going to go for a ride clear my head" he added.
"Ok babe but please make sure you text me to let me know you're ok" I sighed.
"I will babe I promise" he kissed me hard on the lips.
"I love you" I said.
"I love you too babe more than you will ever know" he said kissing me on the head.
"We will get through this baby" I smiled.
He left and I sat crying for ages, thinking about how upset Juice was and how he was going to be if he had to leave the club. I decided to go and try and talk to someone who I could talk to and they wouldn't say a thing and that was Opie. I found him at home in the garage messing with his bike as usual.
"Oh hey Liss, I wasn't expecting you babe" he smiled.
"I know I needed to talk to you, in private if possible" I said.
"Yeah there's no one here Lyla took the kids out for the day" he smiled.
"How come you didn't go?" I asked.
"Because I was too hung over when they left" He grinned.
"I know the feeling" I sighed.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" he asked.
"I don't even know how to approach this situation" I sighed.
"You know you can tell me anything babe" he said putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Even if it involves the club?" I asked.
"Well that depends" he said taking a step back to look at me.
"Like if I tell you, you can't tell no one not even the club, even though it affects the club" I said.
"Well, that's a whole different kettle of fish" he said, "Think we should take this inside"
I followed him into the house and sat on the counter top in the kitchen whilst he grabbed me a beer.
"Is this going to get me in trouble if it all comes out?" He asked.
"Well how about if I ask you a few questions, and you answer them. I don't want you asking me anything about pacific's or anything, because that way you won't know anything" I said.
"Ok, I promise I won't ever say anything" he said.
"So what is the clubs policy with race?" I asked.
"What you mean racing?" he asked looking heller confused.
"I mean ethnicity as in letting people in who aren't white?" I asked.
"Oh, well that clearly it used to be a big deal but not so much now Jax is in charge, but it's not that it was much of an issue when Clay was in charge. Juice's Puerto Rican for one and no one has anything to say about that" he said.
"Was there never an issue when he wanted to join?" I asked.
"Not that I know of, I think my dad asked a few questions and raised a few eyebrows, seeing he's the only one from the original crew still here. But he loves Juice just like we all do, it's never been an issue." He replied, "I really don't get what you're getting at?"
"So how would they feel about someone being black in the club?" I asked.
"Well clearly we have a good rep with the bastards, but I don't know if Jax would prospect a black guy" he said looking even more confused.
"How about if there was already a black guy in the club?" I asked.
"I'm sure we would know if there was a black guy in the club" He laughed.
"But what if he had black in his blood but didn't look black?" I asked.
"Then I don't think the issue is if he has black ancestry, the issue would be that he lied to us all" he replied, "Why what do you know?"
"I told you to not ask me any questions" I sighed.
"Well I suggest whoever it is, they best keep their mouth shut" he replied.
"What if he can't keep it secret, because he's being blackmailed?" I asked.
"Then it depends who he's being black mailed by" he said.
"Law enforcement, the Assistant district attorney to be exact" I said.
"Then the only way to deal with this is take it to Jax and he will take it to church, then whoever it is better hope and pray we vote to keep them." He said not looking very impressed.
"You won't say anything will you?" I asked.
"I made you a promise Liss, but you need to tell them to sort it" He said.
"I will babe thank you" I said giving him a hug.
"Why haven't you spoken to Juice about this?" he asked.
I tried to hide the look of shock on my face, that he hadn't clicked on it was Juice.
"I can't talk to him like I talk to you he would just want the whole story and go shouting his mouth off" I lied.
"Well whatever they do don't let them be a grass because they're dead then, this can be sorted without that happening if they just be honest with the club" he said, "I'll vote to keep them and the least punishment possible for you".
"Thanks Ope. I love you" I added.
