A/N: Yooo! What's up?? My other SoA story is on lock down I guess you could say. I still have a great idea for it, but that damn writer's block. LOL. Well, this story is gonna be a little different. There's going to be regular POV's and the main character POV's. Also... "Riley" may be a bit MarySue and like I said on my other story, if you're not into that sort of thing, you don't have to read it. Plain and simple. I'm loving the new season so far and I still need to get season 1 on DVD. Well enough of my nonsense and junk. Enjoy this and as always R&R!!!

P.S. I OWN NOTHING from Sons of Anarchy.... just my OC's!!

Chapter 1:

Riley Carter stood there motionless and in shock. She just couldn't believe it, like it was so surreal to her. A week before, Riley got a call from her Aunt in Los Angeles to come over to her hometown of Charming, California as soon as possible.

Riley moved with her father Jack because her parents got a divorce when she was ten years old. Jack moved her to New York, while her mother Maggie and her brother Vince stayed in California. After she got out of high school, she moved out of her father's place and went to college at NYU with her best friend Lucy Benson.

Over the years, she lost touch of her whole family because she's been too focused on her career, and now she's back home, at the cemetery, and staring down at two headstones. One was her Mother's and the other one was for Vince. Riley couldn't understand why she wasn't told about this before and not two years later.

Last she knew, both of them were living in Los Angeles. If they were living there, why were they buried in Charming? Riley wasn't leaving that place until she finds out what happened to them and why. Riley stayed at the cemetery for another hour staring down at both headstones.

Riley POV:

I slowly walked over to my rental car and pulled out my phone, then I pressed speed dial number four and waited for it to be picked up.

"Captain Howard's office, how can I help you?"

"Janice? It's me Carter... I was wondering if the Captain signed off on the clearance for anything I need over here, in California."

"Let me take a look." she told me as I heard her typing away on the keyboard. "Yes, Captain Howard put you at level 5 clearance."

"Wow, the highest? Good... I'll need it."

"How long are you on leave?"

"A few weeks, but if I end up staying longer... I'l let the Captain know."

"All right, Carter... you're information is on the way to the Charming Police Station, but you probably won't get it for a week or so."

"Why is it gonna take so long?"

"You know, all the paper work that has to go through."

"Okay." I sighed. "That's fine, Janice, thank you."

"You're welcome and good luck."

"Thanks, bye." I said, then I hung up my phone and sighed again. I started up the car and decided to drive around until I saw something that I'd recognize. A few minutes later I saw a sign that said "Teller-Morrow Auto Shop" and I pulled inside. I remember I had a friend with the last name Teller, when I used to live here.

I parked the car and got out. I saw a row of Harley's lined up on the other side of the lot and I looked some more and saw two guys standing fifteen feet ahead of me. One had brown shaggy hair with a vest with 'Prospect' on the back and the other guy had a mo hawk with a tattoo on his head and a vest with 'Sons of Anarchy California' and a grim reaper on the back of his vest.

I walked up to them and cleared my throat to get their attention. "Excuse me?"

Both guys turned around and the one with the mo hawk said "Hello there." he smirked. "How can I help you?"

I chuckled as I adjusted my sunglasses. "Yeah, I need an oil change, could one of you help me out with that?"

The mo hawk guy held his hand out. "I'm Juice."

I grabbed and shook. "Juice?" he nodded. "That's different... I'm Riley."

"Nice to meet you." he said and let go of my hand, then nodded towards the other guy. "This is Half-Sack."

"Half-Sack?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"Long story." he shook his head.

"Oh... interesting names."

"Yeah." both of them said, in unison.

"So can one of you help me with my oil change?"

Juice raised his hand. "I got this." he looked over at Half-Sack. "Go finish working on that bike."

"All right." he smiled at me then walked away.

"Let's take a look at your car." Juice suggested.

"Okay." I nodded then both of us walked over to the car.

"A Mustang... very nice." he looked over at me. "Can you pop the hood?"

"Yep." then I got into the car and pulled the lever.

He opened it up and started looking inside and a few minutes later, he said "You look like you need the oil change and some break fluid."

"How much?" I asked.

"No charge."

"You sure?"

"Yep." he nodded.

I nodded. "Okay... thank you."

He smiled at me then buried his head back under the hood. "So what brings you here to Charming?"

I leaned up against the car door. "Oh... just visiting my family. I was born here."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but when I was ten, my parents got a divorce and I moved with my father."

"That sucks." Juice said, and I nodded.

Five minutes later, a guy with the same kind of vest on, walked up to us and said "Juice?"

"Yeah?"

"Meeting in the..." he paused and looked at me. "Who's this?"

"This." I started. "Is Riley... and you are?"

"They call me Tig, Sweetheart."

I nodded with a chuckle. "That's nice Mr. Tig... but I'm not your Sweetheart." I glared at him as his face fell, then he started glaring at me.

Juice got in between us and looked at me. "Can you stick around for a while?"

"Yeah."

Juice nodded. "I'll be right back."

"Sure... I'll wait in my car." I told him, then got into the driver seat.

Author POV:

Juice smiled at Riley, then walked away with Tig. "She's cute huh?"

"What are you doing, Man?" Tig asked him.

Juice gave him a funny look. "What are you talking about?"

"That broad out there."

"What?" Juice shrugged. "She needs an oil change."

"On a brand new Mustang?" Juice didn't answer. "Is she new here? Because I've never seen her before. What'd she say to you?"

"Chill man. She's here visiting her family."

Tig nodded. "Okay... let's go see what this meeting's about." then Tig and Juice walked into the clubhouse.

Riley POV:

After five minutes of sitting in the car, my phone rang. I dug it out of my pocket and pressed the talk button. "This is Carter."

"Hey Carter... how are things over there?"

"Things are fine and so far."

"Did you find out anything?"

"Nope... but as soon as I look around and ask some questions, I might get somewhere."

"If you need me... I'll be on the next flight."

"I know, Daniel, thank you."

"Oh hey... Captain Howard is emailing you some other things you'll need."

"Okay." I paused. "Are you keeping an eye on Sarah and Lucy?"

"Yes and they're fine."

"Great. I'll give you a call later, Daniel."

"Okay... bye." he told me, then hung up. I sighed and slammed my head on the head rest.
