A/N: Hello once again! It is I and do I have a treat for ya'll. I've been thinking of this one for a while and I finally got it the way I wanted it. I'm not going to explain who everyone is... I mean, we all know who they are, right? If you don't, then you need to sit down, watch it, and take some notes. LOL. Well... I think this will be pretty cool and a couple chapters later, I'll introduce new characters in the story. It will be a doozy! But I'm gonna take this another direction and it will be totally different to what I or any of you are used to. Bear with me. Enjoy this and as always... R&R!

P.S. I own NOTHING from Sons of Anarchy (the best show ever!) only my OC's. Thanks!

Chapter 1: Happy to be Home

Cassie Bennett jump onto the freeway after she got her coffee fix from Starbucks and headed north from San Diego to Charming, California. She had gotten word from her cousin Donna's mother in law, Mary, that Donna and her family is at the Department of Justice Facility in Stockton for questioning and possibly being a part in the witness protection program. Cassie put in three weeks vacation time, so she could spend time with Donna, Opie, the kids, and to see what's going on.

Donna and Cassie grew up in Charming since they were little, plus Cassie even lived with Donna for a while. But after Cassie turned thirteen, she moved to San Diego with her parents. When Opie was sent to Chino in for five years, Cassie moved back in with Donna to help with the kids for just two years.

During that time that Cassie was there, she became best friends with Juice, and she was messing around with Jax, despite Donna's protests against the club.

Seven hours later, Cassie passed the 'Welcome to Charming' sign and smiled. She's happy to be home because it's been a while since she visited last time. Cassie pulled up to Donna's, but she didn't see any cars, so she figured that nobody was home. She decided to go drive over to Teller Morrow Auto Shop and try to find her there.

She parked her car, grabbed her purse, and got out walking towards the garage. She saw a guy under the hood of the car and said "Excuse me?" he turned around and she read his name tag. "Lowell? Do you remember me?" he gave her a funny look. "I'm Donna's cousin, Cassie."

"Oh hi." he nodded. "Long time, no see... how are you?"

"I'm doing good... hey, can you tell me where Donna is?"

"She went inside the clubhouse."

"Okay, thanks Lowell." she nodded. "It was god seeing you." she told him, then walked inside. She looked and saw Opie hugging Donna, she smiled. "Hey, you two! Get a room!"

Both of them turned around with their eyes wide, then Donna said "Cassie? What are you doing here?"

She gave Donna a hug. "Well, I was in the neighboorhood and I decided to stop by."

"Liar." Donna laughed.

They broke from the hug and Cassie looked up at Opie. "I'm glad you're out if Chino."

"Me too." he nodded.

"The reason why I'm here... Ope, your mother called me about what's been going on, so here I am."

He frowned. "My mother called you?"

"Yeah and after I found out, I took my vacation time."

"For how long?" asked Donna.

"Three weeks."

Donna gave Opie a kiss, then said "We'll see you at Jax's."

"Okay." he nodded, then gave Cassie a quick hug. "It's good to see you again."

"You too, Ope." Cassie smiled, then followed Donna outside to the cars.

"Follow me to the house and we'll drop off your car." Donna suggested, getting into her car. Cassie nodded, then followed her back to the house.

"Who were you and Donna talking to?" asked Jax, grabbing a beer.

"Guess who's back in town?"

"Who?"

"Cassie."

"Bennett?" Opie nodded. "Why?"

"My mother called her and telled her what was going on. She took time off of work to be here."

"Where is she?"

"With Donna."

"Is Cassie coming with her tonight?"

"Possibly." Opie shrugged with a smile.

A few minutes later, Clay walked in, and said "Let's do this deal."

After Cassie parked into Donna's garage, she got into Donna's car, and they left. "So where we going?" Cassie asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, we're going to the store to buy Abel a welcome home present."

"He's out of the hospital?"

"Yep and Gemma's throwing him a party at Jax's tonight."

"Oh." Cassie nodded. "I'm glad Abel's doing okay... how's your kids?"

"They're spending time with Mary, but I'll tell her to drop them off before the party."

"Okay, because I haven't seen them in a while." Cassie said, looking out the window. "So... how's Jax been?"

"He's good."

"Is he still with Tara?"

Donna shrugged. "Not sure, since Wendy is out of rehab."

"Wonderful." Cassie nodded, then her phone rang a few minutes later. She pulled it out of her purse, then said "This will only take a second." Donna nodded as Cassie pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hey Cass."

"Hey Trish... what's up?"

"I got word from Dr. Simmons, that if you don't get back to work... she's gonna fire you."

"I put in my vacation time."

"Well according to her, she never got your vacation time slip."

"There's a slip? I didn't know we were supposed to write it on a stupid slip."

"Well then... what did you do?"

"I told her and I wrote it on the calendar, like we usually do."

"She's saying that she never got it, because you didn't do it right."

"Ugh!" Cassie groaned. "I hate her... I just want to punch that stupid bitch in the face."

"You and I both." Trish laughed.

Cassie sighed in a defeated tone. "Fine... I'll be there in the morning, but until then, tell the bitch doctor to get the stick out of her ass and lighten up."

"Will do." she chuckled. "Bye."

"Yeah, bye Trish." then Cassie hung up her phone and sighed again.

"Should I even ask?"

Cassie looked over at Donna and said "It looks like my vacation time wasn't put in the "right way." she used her quotation fingers. "So I have to leave tonight."

"Oh no."

"Yeah, it sucks... I hate my boss."

"Maybe we can visit next time."

"Yeah." Cassie nodded. "Next time." she paused. "I'll just leave after Abel's party." Donna nodded, then Cassie looked back out the window.

A/N: I'm gonna stop there... how is it?
