JJ-Jefferu: Okay, okay since Angel N Darkness wants me to post it so badly I shall. This is a new story, erm, I am not too sure where it's going since when I write it, it just flowsbut it's not really set during any of the seasons (as far as I can tell at the moment). I hope you liked it? There's won't be any Tig romance for at least a couple chapters, 3 I think. So just bare with me, I'm building up to it, for once -smiles.
THANK YOU TrappedinaPhoto for being the wonderful wifey/bestie/daughter/kitty/whatever else I may have forgotten and Proofing this for me, seeing as without your reading over it would suck horribly.
My Disclaimer that is throughout all my SOA fics now:
~+Disclaimer: I do not own SOA, it belongs to Kurt Sutter and shown on FX. I however own the plotline and the characters that you are not familiar with. +~
Also I am, again, using Song titles as Chapter titles. Let's see if you can guess the band. I am going to try to just use this band, until I run out of titles I like for my story. The titles of the SONG, not the song itself (cause I'm not sure I've listen to them all) sort of match the chapter.
Please Enjoy. Feed Back would be apprieacted.
Chapter 1: Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash
Taking in the site of the business in front of her, Jennifer, Jinny to close friends and family, suddenly felt self-conscious. Not that she was unattractive but in comparison to the half-naked women who were strutting around the garage parking lot as if they owed it. Nor was she ignorant to the way the workers and possibly other members of the charter watched them. The look in their eyes reminded Jinny of ravenous wolves about to devour a flock of sheep. Jinny's hair was definitely not like the women, but presented themselves like overzealous teenage girls getting ready for some concert or party that their parents had forbidden them from. Jinny's hair was short and spiked in the back, in its natural brown color, while the front portion of her hair was layered, with the longest piece resting on her breasts, and dyed blue. It was something that started out as an accident but Jinny fell in love with it and has kept it in this style since she was a senior in high school, about seven years ago. Her upper body was hidden under a slightly too big for her, grey Arizona Western College hoodie, under the hoodie was a black and green tank top. It was semi-hot in Charming, but the hoodie was to hide the cuts and bruises that stretched up and down the lengths of both arms, she also had a few tattoos taking up her wrist and one of her shoulders. Black skinny jeans covered her legs, to protect them from the hot metal of her bike, and tucked inside a pair of knee high riding boots. Jinny's eyes scanned the parking lot; she was having an internal debate with herself. She was trying to decide if she was going to pull into the garage or turn tail and run. Rachel, her companion, had other ideas it seemed.
"Oh for fucks sake Jinny, man up and go find him. He's not going to turn his back on you now, he promised to help you when you needed it. After all, your brother always keeps his word." Rachel said pushing Jinny from her position on the bike next to her. Rachel was your different than average Asian, sure she was smart and beautiful, but she loved danger, hated her natural hair color and had a bit of tattoos covering her skin. She was always unique and then she went through a rebellious stage, because she hated her mother. After successfully pissing her mom off, Rachel decided that she liked it too much to change it, so her dyed red hair was short all around.
"Ray," Jinny sighed as she began to speak. "It's not that simple. We haven't spoken in years, he stopped talking to me. Hell if it wasn't for mom, I wouldn't know where the hell he was. So I highly doubt he's going to want to jump into my life, now of all times. He probably has a lot on his plate," Jinny finished, almost shouting at her. Her blue eyes glared into her friends brown ones. Apparently their little conversation had caught the attention of the employees.
"Can I help you two?" An accented voice asked. Jinny broke her glaring with her best friend and turned to the man who just spoke. She inwardly groaned when she realized he wasn't alone. Behind the tall, slightly pudgy (he had a bit of a belly), scared man was two others. One was taller than the first, with brown curly hair and blue eyes that Jinny could get lost in, wearing a Teller-Morrow work shirt that read Tig. Beside Tig stood a shorter man, Hispanic from the looks of it, with lightning bolt tattoos on either side of his mohawk. Jinny opens her mouth to speak but Rachel speaks first.
"Yeah, we were just about to pull fully into the garage, our bikes need a bit of maintenance. Jinny was just a bit unsure about this," Rachel tells them, she glances over at Jinny. Jinny let out a breath that she didn't really know she was holding. Out of the corner of her eye, Jinny noticed that the blue eyed man, Tig, and the Hispanic shared a look, obliviously not trusting them. Not that Jinny would blame them. Two chicks idling outside your place of business arguing about pulling in, she'd feel the same way.
"Alright come on in then," the accented man tells them. "Pull into Tig's bay; he'll be the one to check 'em." He finishes. Jinny nods and looks over at the tall blue eyed man.
"And which bay is yours, exactly? I assume that your names aren't just thrown up over each individual one," Jinny asks him, looking solemnly at him, ignoring the other two. His lips twitch, he was fighting a smile and she knew it. Though the thing that got Jinny, as she stood staring at him, was how attracted she felt to this blue eyed, curly haired man.
"Follow me," he says looking away from Jinny and turns to head towards the garage. Rachel bumps Jinny again causing the blue eyed girl to look over at the brown eyed, red head. Jinny pushes her back.
"Watch it," Rachel says loud enough for everyone to hear her as they follow Tig to his stall. Jinny can't help but laugh at Rachel.
"Whatever Ray," as the two pull up into his bay, Jinny felt a ton of eyes watching the two of them. Killing her engine, Jinny puts down the kick stand and swings her left leg over her blue Kawasaki Ninja 250R. Once both her feet were on the concrete, Jinny takes off her helmet and looks over at Rachel, who had mimicked her actions. Jinny shook her head, the two were so much alike, but given their friendship and how close they were it made sense. The two had been connected at the hip since they were sixteen.
"How hard do you think it will be to track down your brother, Jin?" Rachel asks walking over towards Jinny. She shrugs and looks around the parking lot of Teller-Morrow, looking around for any familiar faces.
"It all depends, Charming may not be very big, but if I know my brother, like I do despite all the years of us apart, then they would call him a different name then I, erm, we do. Especially if Kozik's word is anything to go by," Jinny replies, she always forgot that her brother and Rachel had a fling.
"So you're looking for someone in Charming?" Tig asks as he walks towards the two. Jinny nods and begins to replies.
"Yeah, my brother, according to my mom, stays in Charming unless he has some business to attend to," Jinny relays what her mom had told her when she called up two days ago. She left out the fact that she knew the specifics of what he does. Despite Tig's appearance for all Jinny knew he could just be a grease monkey and not a patched member. Tig looks at the short, blue eyed female in front of him questioningly. Jinny rolled her eyes, as she saw the unspoken questions in his eyes. The roar of engines alerted Jinny that there was a group of people pulling into the parking lot on motorcycles. As they parked, in what appeared to be predetermined places, one of the guys stood out to Jinny. It wasn't until he took off his helmet that Jinny realized why he stood out.
"Jesus Fucking Christ," Rachel mumbled, just barely loud enough for Jinny to hear.
"Thank you for being a brain thief and stealing the words right out of my head, Ray." Jinny tells to Rachel joking, Rachel in turn pushes her friend. They both watched as Jinny's brother walked towards them, but both doubted he was heading to them. More likely they were heading towards Tig.
"Give me a second; I need to talk with Happy. I'll be with you right after that." Tig tells the two before walking to meet Happy half way. Rachel and Jinny share a look before breaking into laughter. Kozik had told them, that David now went by Happy. Neither woman believed him until they heard Tig call him that. Tig and Happy watched as the two women laughed, it caused Rachel and Jinny to laugh harder. The two's mental stability was questionable, and this was one of those times it was called into question. A twinge of pain shot through Jinny's ribs; resulting in her to abruptly stop laughing and grab her left side.
"Shit," Jinny gasps, as she tries desperately to fill her lungs with air as to attempt breathe properly.
"Fucking Christ Jennifer, why the hell didn't you tell me the bustards kicked you in the ribs?" Rachel shouts, forgetting they were in a public place filled with people. Jinny freezes as she feels the stares on her again.
"WHY DON'T YOU TELL THE FUCKING WORLD, RACHEL-ANN," Jinny screams at her, glaring at Rachel. Most people would be shocked at being yelled at by someone who was taller and slightly bigger than you. But not those two, they always had these moments, but usual it was not a serious matter. But to those watching the two unknown females, they were a bit concerned for the smaller of the two.
"Yeah, well it's better than you hiding it from everyone. You won't say shit to your brother, I know you won't. And I know you better than you think. God, you and your brother are defiantly related. And Hell if I didn't know there was at least a four year difference between your ages, I would swear you and David are the fucking twins. Damn it Jennifer, you need to tell him this shit, and I recommend doing it soon before he finds out from someone else, someone worse." Rachel fires back at Jinny. Jinny let out a sigh, thankful that Rachel didn't yell back at her, after she did it to her. It showed that out of Rachel and Jinny, Rachel was the more level headed of the two of them. Hell it was because Rachel suggested the two to come to Charming to find David that the two were in the small Californian town. Jinny didn't want to involve her brother in her problems, but Rachel reasoned it was his fault that she got jumped and the shit beat out of her.
"Rachel, just don't. Not right now. We need to get the bikes checked out and then we can head over to St. Thomas to get me checked out. Just please Ray," Jinny pleads with the shorter woman. Rachel sighs and nods.
"Fine," Rachel replies and pulls out her white Blackberry Curve and hits a few buttons before putting the PDA phone up to her ear. "Yeah, we made it here safely. She's fine, but lied to us. They hurt her ribs." There was a pause of silence. "Yes she is a dumbass. I'll let her know," Rachel clicked a button on her phone as she brought it down from her ear. Jinny had a look of defeat on her face. Rachel had just called their best friend Levi.
"Fuck, I'm so screwed." Jinny grumbled and a look of realization dawned on her as she looked in the direction of Tig and her brother. She crossed her arms and glared at them. "What?" Jinny snapped at them, and then looked at her bike and back at the two men. She shook her head and mounted her bike. "Forget about the bike. I'm leaving," Jinny didn't have the patience's to deal with the questions she was sure Tig would fire off at her. Just by looking at him, she could tell he was someone who observed and questioned things that he didn't know. And Jinny was not up for spilling her guts to a stranger as to why she had spent the past two days riding from Yuma to Charming, regardless of her brother being with him. Securing her helmet she turns to Rachel. "Have someone give you directions. I'm heading over to the hospital, my ribs are killing me." And with that Jinny backed her bike out of Tig's bay and sped away, leaving behind two shocked SAMCRO members and a defeated looking Rachel.
Driving the streets of Charming to St. Thomas was harder than Jinny remembered it. But then again, she hadn't recognized anyone in Charming nor did they seem to recognize her. She was vaguely starting to remember Tig, Chibs, and the others who were here when she had visited him last. Happy had told Jinny, that he didn't want her involved in club stuff the last time she had been in Charming, which was over seven years ago when she was a senior in High School. Pulling into the parking lot, Jinny noticed there was another bike parked in the lot. It reminded her of her brothers, but she pushed the thought a side and proceed inside the hospital. Jinny wanted to get the hospital visit over with so she could face her brother.
The waiting room was the worst thirty minutes of Jinny's life. It was not overly crowded just a bore, there was nothing to hold her interest in the room. Jinny's phone had only provided minimum entertainment because it died half-way through a game of Angry Birds. Then the doctor took her sweet ass time doing Jinny's x-rays and bandaging and stitching a few of her deeper cuts. Walking out of the Pharmacy, Jinny yawned as she glanced down at her watch. It was three-thirty in the afternoon. Groaning Jinny read over the labels are the pain meds the doctor had prescribed her. She was going to be an extremely bitchy person until the ribs healed, she wasn't allowed to drink when using the pills nor was she allowed to drive after taking them. Jinny was so focused on reading the labels and how she was supposed to survive that she wasn't paying attention to where she was walking and walked straight into someone.
"Ah, fuck." She groaned as she started to fall backwards and was watching for the impact. Someone caught her arm before she could fall onto the floor. Jinny looked at the person and sighed. 'Fucking great,' she thought.
"Sorry- wait Jinny?" Kozik asks the brunette. Jinny nods and wraps an arm around his waist. "Does Happy know you're in town?" Jinny shrugs.
"Um, I'm not entirely sure if he does or not. I was at Teller-Morrow but my ribs started giving me problems, so I took off and came here." Kozik takes time to look Jinny over and his eyes widen.
"What the hell happened to you Jennifer?" Kozik asks Jinny, seriousness laced in his voice. Before Jinny can tell Kozik what happened, someone else speaks.
"That's what I would like to know," Happy's voice came from behind Jinny. Jinny jumped and turned. Standing a little over five feet behind her was her brother, Tig, and Rachel. Jinny sighs, this was going to be a long day.
