Chapter 1
Sitting outside a coffee shop in Stockton, my security crew always close by, I see a new house has set up business. Looking over, I see it's another whore house. I see some men come out and walk to the motorcycles and I see they are wearing Sons of Anarchy kuttes. That didn't surprise me. What did was seeing one in particular, look over and make eye contact with me. He was tan, muscular, has a mohawk and tattoos from what I could see but he looked so sad. I see the one that seems to be the leader, looking at him, and I see so much anger and hatred. But why? I watch as they ride away and he looks at me and nods as he passes. Looking to my second, Logan, I say "See what you can find out about that one." He looks at me and asks "Mohawk?" I nod and he walks away, pulling out his phone.
That afternoon, I am sitting at Stockton Prison, in a bought room, waiting on the person that I came to see. The guard leads him in and uncuffs him. The guard walks out and closes the door and Tully smiles at me. I stand and hug him and he says "Hello Miranda. How's my favorite sister?" he asks. "Good. Wanted to visit since I was in the area." I tell him. "I'm glad you're here. I don't get to see you as much as I'd like. Have you talked to mom and dad?" he asks. "No. Have you?" I ask and he smirks at me. "Looks like it's still just us." he tells me and I smile. I love my brother even if we don't see eye to eye.
That evening, I am sitting in my office and Logan walks in. "I have that information that you were wanting." He says. "Good. What did you find out?" I ask. "His name is Juan Carlos Ortiz but he goes by Juice. He's been in the Sons of Anarchy for the last eight years and is their intelligence officer. Great hacker. From Queens, New York. Mom and sister but doesn't have any contact with them. Worked for the mafia in Queens and was ordered to leave the state and not come back. Impressive wrap sheet." he tells me. "Okay. Anything else?" I ask. "May I sit?" he asks and I motion to the chair for him to sit down. "I did a little deep digging and found out that Sheriff Roosevelt was blackmailing him. Was threatening to tell the club that his father was black and telling him that the club would either patch him out or kill him if they found out, trying to get him to rat. He tried to get Roosevelt to leave him alone and never gave info or signed any deal but Roosevelt told Teller that Ortiz was a rat when he didn't technically rat." he tells me and I look at him. "Looks like Teller is having Ortiz do his dirty work for him and that he told Ortiz that he could work his way back into the good graces of the club but it doesn't seem like it's going to work out that way." He tells me. "Why do you say that?" I ask. "My informant tells me that Teller is planning on having Ortiz go inside to kill Henry Lin and that he thinks he will be getting back out but instead, he's giving him to another inmate to do what he wants with before killing him." he tells me and won't look at me. "What other inmate?" I ask. "Ron Tully." he tells me. "Get me another room. I need to speak to my dear brother." I tell him. "There's one more thing." he tells me. I look back up at him and he says "August Marks. That deal he made with us, fell through. He is refusing to follow through on his end of the deal. How are you wanting to proceed?" he ask. Sitting back, thinking for a minute, I say "Have him picked up. I want him in holding until I give the word." I tell him. "What are you thinking boss?" He asks. "I'll fill you in when I speak to my brother." I tell him before he stands and leaves.
That night, August Marks is home when Logan walks up. "Good evening boys. Ms Hastings has asked us to take over. Head home boys." he tells the security detail. Logan and the rest of the henchmen walk in and surround August. "What is this?" August asks. "Ms Hastings has asked that we secure you until we can rectify the details of your agreement." Logan says before two of his guys walk up and cuff August's hands behind his back and leading him out to a secured holding cell until I work out the consequences of his actions.
The next morning, I am sitting in another bought room, waiting on my brother to be brought in. "Well, Miranda, two visits in two days. What can I do for you?" He asks. "I need your help Ronnie." I tell him and he realizes that I am coming as his sister and not someone brokering another deal. "What is it Randi?" he asks. "I heard you have a deal with the Sons of Anarchy." I start and he looks at me and asks "Why are you asking me about that?" Looking at me hands, I say, "What is he offering you to take out Ortiz?" I ask. He looks at me shocked. "Don't look so shocked Ronnie. You know I'm good at what I do." I tell him. He smirks and says "He's helping get H around Charming and to my middle man." he tells me. "I want to offer him a more lucrative deal." I tell him. He looks at me intrigued. "What do you have in mind?" He asks and I smirk knowing I have my brother on my side.
