Lindsey Barks had been grifting since she was a young child. It had been really easy, she was able to keep lies straight, as she got older and had to come up with new identities, it was easy to keep them all straight. First it was her brothers and cousins for candy. As she got older it was for money to pay for things she wanted. In fact that's how she paid for her first car, and college education, she started out for her own selfish gain. Somewhere in her twenties after she obtained her degree, she started using her talent to help others. Any fees that her clients gave her, she would invest, so she could retire.
Her latest mark might be her last, it was suppose to be an easy job. Go in, retrieve the stolen funds from the construction company, never in her wildest dreams did she think she'd uncover a child porn, and human trafficking ring. She couldn't let those nasty bastards get away with it, she had turned all the information over to the Feds. She'd returned the stolen funds to the clients, she was leaving as the Feds showed up. The Barnaby brothers had caught her, their henchmen were the ones after her now.
She glanced in her rear view mirror and watched the monster truck rapidly approaching on her tail. She floored the gas pedal taking off, the truck was in hot pursuit. She glanced up and saw a man hanging out the window with a gun. Son of a bitch! She ducked as a bullet shattered the back glass of her car. Mother Fuckers! She sped up faster but the truck kept the pace, she couldn't shake them.
She came around a curve as another shot rang out, blowing out her tire. Damn it to hell! She screamed as she saw the two bikers in her bath, she swerved to miss them, losing control of her car, she ran off the road going down an embankment. Her head slammed against the steering wheel, she let out several curse words. Grabbing her bug out back, she climbed out of the car and ran for the cover of the woods, she felt blood running down her face. She sat down on a rock and ripped the sleeve of her shirt, trying to stop the bleeding. She heard footsteps running down the hill, she got up to, looking around for a hiding place. Fuck me running! Everything started spinning. This is it, I"m a goner! Is the last thought she had before everything went black.

She woke up with a throbbing headache, her first thought was pain is good, means I'm not dead. Her second thought was, where in the hell am I? She slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She slowly sat up, her head started pounding. She felt her forehead, it was stitched up. She put her feet on the floor looking for her bag, it was no where to be seen. Son of a bitch! My whole world is in that bag! She thought, those bastards took it, she hoped they didn't find the secret compartment.
The door swung up, two men and a women walked in, they dropped her bag on the bed by her.
"Who are you?" The blonde guy asked.
"Lindsey Barks."
"Why were you being chased?" Asked the man with a Scottish accent.
"Misunderstanding."
The dark haired women starred down at Lindsey. "What kind of misunderstanding involves being shot at?"
"The kind where the Feds bust some nasty bastards for child porn and trafficking."
"What was your involvement?"
"I'm the one that discovered it, and turned them in. Thanks for saving me but I need to go!" She stood up and instantly regretted it. The Scott grabbed her around the waist and eased her back on the bed.
"I'm Chibs." He smiled at her.
"Nice to meet you."
The women stepped forward. "I'm Gemma and this is my son Jax. You're welcome to stay, until your car is fixed."
"How bad is it?"
"It's fixable!" Jax said.
She smiled at the three of them. "Thanks for the hospitality, but I have some pissed off people looking for me. I don't want them coming here, after you!"
"It will be fine, it's safe here." Chibs said and winked at her.
"You feel up to a beer?" Jax asked.
"Always!" Lindsey slowly got up and followed them out of the room.
She walked out into a big room, full of men and half dressed women. She walked up to the bar and got a beer, she was sitting on a bar stool when the door opened and a man walked in. She turned, looking at the man that came in, she jumped off the bar stool and ran towards him.
"Happy!"
"AJ!"
The two embraced, Jax, Gemma, and Chibs looked at each other.
AN: This idea popped into my head this morning while I was trying to go to sleep. The story wouldn't leave me be, until I started writing it. Please R&R!
