Chapter 1

"Baby girl you need to come home." Gemma said quietly into the phone, in a tone that left no room for argument."

"I am not coming there!" the young woman's voice responded in a tone that mirrored Gemma's. "Nothing will ever bring me back there! NOTHING."

Gemma shook her head as she met her husband's eyes first, then flickering over to her son's. "Honey, you are not safe there. We need you here, we can protect you here."

Gemma had expected more yelling, and her eyes widened when she heard the harsh laughter that came across the phone line. The kind of laughter that had nothing to do with happiness or amusement, but more with sarcasm and anger.

"I just need 30 more seconds." Juice whispered as he rapidly tapped on the keys of his laptop. "Keep her on the line."

"Honey this is your home, where your family is." Gemma continued as she nodded her head at Juice's directions. "This is where you need to be. They directly mentioned your name at the meeting."

There was no hesitation in the voice that sounded like steel almost as if the voice welcomed anyone to come try to hurt her, "I am not that little girl anymore, I can handle myself. I learned a long time ago that I need no one but myself to protect myself!"

"Put me on speaker phone NOW!" the voice demanded. "I want them to hear this."

Gemma's eyes widened suddenly as she glanced at the men around the table saying to them as she moved the phone away from her ear to push the button that placed the call on speaker. "The speaker is activated."

"I am NOT coming back there." She almost growled thru the speaker in a voice that reminded them of Gemma when she was at her deadliest. "I want no part of SAMCRO so stay the fuck away from me!"

Then the line clicked, signaling that she had hung up.

"Did you get her?" Clay asked, looking at Juice.

"Yeah, and you are not going to like where the fuck she is." Juice told him, looking up from the screen.

"My cousin has never done shit that we liked!" Jax muttered, running his hand over his face.

"Is she close?" Clay asked, right behind Jax's statement.

"She is really close, less than 30 minutes away." Juice told them. "At the "Naughty Playhouse."

Gemma's sharp intake of breathe echoed thru the room, right before Jax exploded from his seat.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" he yelled at Juice, the sudden anger and rage radiating from him. "SHE IS AT A FUCKING STRIP CLUB!"

Jax did not wait for Juice to respond as he stormed around the table and out the doors of the chapel.

"Happy, Chibbs, Opie, and Bobby go with him." Clay told them, as the four men were already jumping up to follow Jax. "Watch his back and make sure that neither on of my lovely family members don't kill each other or end up in jail!"

Gemma looked at Clay with tears in her eyes, "What in the hell has happened to that girl to make her be like this?"

"I am starting to think that when you paid for all those dance lessons, you never thought that they would be used for stripping!" Tigg said.

"SHUT UP!" Gemma snapped as she jumped out of her chair and stormed out the room.

"Good one Tigg!" Juice muttered shaking his head.

Clay just looked at Tigg and shook his head.

"Do you think that she is going to be hostile?" Juice asked looking up.

Both Clay and Tigg busted out with laughter ringing in disbelief at Juice's question.
