At 6:55 pm Regina rushed into the Lion's Den with two shopping bags in her hands. She headed over to Nick with a sigh. "I'm going to have to change before I can start, Nick. I didn't go home before I came here because I picked up a tail at the book store this afternoon. I didn't feel comfortable going home when someone I don't know was following me."

Nick frowned as he narrowed his eyes. "Use my office to change, Sweetheart. Then when you come out I want you to sit down at the bar for a few minutes to catch your breath. I'll have a coke and a salad waiting on you."

Regina nodded and walked into Nick's office just as Nick said "Hey, Quinn, Koz, Lorca, and Jax. I'll be with you boys in a minute." She shook her head and shut the door and let out a sigh of relief. After ten minutes she was just about ready to go out into the bar. She looked down and smiled at her choice of outfit for the night. She had on a leather skirt that went mid thigh, a purple strapless shirt, and purple four inch high heels. She took a deep breath, let it out and then then opened the door to Nick's office and walked out. She rolled her eyes but smiled when Nick's gaze shot to her and motioned her over. She walked over and sat on the bar stool he was pointing at and took her drink from him just as he sat a salad down in front of her.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Nick saw Koz, Quinn, Lorca, and Jax walk into the bar out of the corner of his eye as he watched Regina walk into his office. "Hey, Quinn, Koz, Lorca, and Jax. I'll be with you boys in a minute." He waited until his office door was shut before he turned to look at the four bikers completely. "Let me get Regina's order put in and get her a coke and I'll be with you boys. She's had a rough day today from the sound of it."

Koz frowned. "She's alright though, Nick? Didn't I just see her go into your office?"

Nick nodded as he quickly sent someone into the back with a chicken salad order for Regina and he grabbed a bottle of coke out of the fridge under the bar. "Yeah, Koz, you did. She's using my office to change. She didn't get to go home to change before coming here because someone has been following her today. She had to go shopping today to pick up more books for her classes and picked up a tail at the book store."

Koz stiffened. "She looked alright though right?"

Nick rolled his eyes slightly. "She looked fine, Koz. She just didn't want to lead whoever was following her to her home. She'll be out soon and you can see with your own two eyes that she is okay." He sat a beer in front of all four bikers just as he heard his office door open. His head shot towards Regina and he motioned her over. He pointed to the bar stool between Koz and Quinn. Once he saw that she was sat down he handed her, her coke and placed the chicken salad that he just got handed down in front of her. "Drink your coke and eat your chicken salad, Sweetheart. Tina and Alicia can handle the floor for now so you just stay seated. Now what can you tell me about the person who was following you?"

Regina sighed and furrowed her eyebrows. "He looked to be about my age with dark hair. I only figured out that he was following me when I went into Victoria Secrets and he walked in not even thirty seconds later. After that I paid more attention. He followed me to three clothing stores, a shoe store, and to my post office where I grabbed my mail. He was driving a blue four door Ford. If I have to take a guess I would say he's about six foot and weighs about one forty to one sixty. Other than that I can't tell you much about him."

Nick nodded but before he could say anything Koz said "Wasn't there a four door blue Ford in the parking lot outside when we pulled in here, Lorca?"

Lorca nodded and stood up. "Yeah, Koz, there was. Quinn and Jax if you would stay in here Koz and I will check it out."

Regina shook her head and looked at the man who had spoken. "You don't have to do that, Sir."

Lorca looked at Regina with a raised eyebrow. "My name is Lorca, kid. The blonde on the other side of Quinn is Jax. You don't have to call either of us sir. As for not having to check it out yeah I do. I can't have something happening to one of Nick's girls. So you just stay in here and talk to Nick, Quinn, and Jax, honey."

Regina snorted but nodded as she watched Koz and Lorca walk outside. She turned her head to look at Nick. "You do know that I can take care of myself."

Nick chuckled. "You proved that last night, sweetheart, but it doesn't mean you can't accept help when it is offered. Now eat your chicken salad and drink your coke."

"Yes, dad." Regina said with a chuckle.

Nick smirked. "Good girl. Did you get everything that you need for your classes?"

Regina nodded. "I did. Do you want me to come in Monday night?"

Nick shook his head. "You got an early class Tuesday morning. You can pop in Monday evening to visit but you're out of here by midnight. Don't you have a late class Monday?"

Regina thought for a moment. "Yeah but it lets out at nine thirty. I can work Tuesday evening but can't be here much before eight thirty because I have an appointment at six that I can't miss."

Quinn who had been listening frowned and turned to look at Regina with narrowed eyes. "What kind of appointment do you have at six at night, doll?"

Regina smirked as she turned her head to look at Quinn. "The kind that involves me taking my shirt off, handsome."

Quinn's eyes widened in shock. "What the fuck?"

Regina threw her head back and laughed. "I have an appointment to get a new tat done, Quinn. Unfortunately it does involve me taking my shirt off because of where it will be located. Hopefully the guy doing the tat doesn't turn out to be a perv. The girl who use to do my tats moved to Florida so I had to look for someone new."

Jax who had been silent up til then said "I'll take you to get it, Darlin. If you don't know the guy you shouldn't go on your own. Besides Nick would feel better if someone went with you."

Regina sighed. "Fine. Can I ask why you guys seem so protective of me when you just met me? If I'm not mistaken you boys don't take to outsiders."

Jax gave a half smile. "Probably because you remind us all of someone we knew at one point or another. Although it may be someone different for each of us that you remind us of. You are right in thinking that this isn't how we act when we meet someone new. I'll be in town until next week so give me your phone so I can put my number in it. You call me if something is wrong or doesn't seem right. And before you ask you remind me of my sister."

Regina smiled slightly at that and handed her cell phone over to Jax just as Koz and Lorca came back in. Her smile quickly turned to a frown when she noticed the looks on their faces. "Are you two alright? Did you find anything?"

Lorca sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I called one of my guys to bring a tow truck. You'll have to let one of us take you home, honey, when it is time for you to be off. All four of your tires have been slashed. When we got out there the car was gone. Your windshield has also been broken. It will be at least Wednesday before I can have your car fixed because I'm going to give it a thorough going over to make sure that nothing else was messed with."

Regina gasped and then narrowed her eyes. "If I find out that my father is behind this all hell will break loose. Alright I'm going to start work. Nick, where do you ant me tonight?"

Nick sighed. "Take the middle of the bar, sweetheart. Yell if you need help."

Regina nodded and leaned across the bar to kiss Nick on his cheek. She then stood up and kissed Lorca, Jax, Quinn, and Koz on their cheeks before she walked away and start work for the evening.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Jax shook his head in surprise as he watched Regina walk away before he turned to look at Nick. "What did she mean about her father, Nick?"

Nick sighed and sat beers in front of Jax, Koz, Quinn, and Lorca. "Her father cut her off when she refused to marry one of his friends son's. She is using money that her grandparents left her to pay for college and she is living in a house that they left her. She's working here so that she can pay her bills and save the money she still has left from her grandparents. For being so young she has a good head on her shoulders. When I first met her yesterday she reminded me of Natalie so I hired her on the spot. I do believe if Nat and I would have had children that our daughter would be just like Regina is now. However the thing I am most worried about is that she turns twenty-one on Tuesday and once she does everything from property, money, and business is handed to her. Her father is only in charge of everything until she turns twenty-one in stipulation of her mother's will."

Lorca nodded. "She reminds me of my cousin and someone else who I can't think of right off the bat. We'll help you make sure she stays safe, Nick. I don't think it is a good idea for her to go home alone tonight. Also as far as her father goes we need to get his name off of her so that we can check into him. If she is set to inherit a shit load of money and assets because she turns twenty-one he very well could not want her to make it to that age."

Nick nodded. "I'll see if she will sleep at my place tonight. If not I'll beg to sleep on her couch. At least Jax is going with her on Tuesday. When I get her to take a break later I'll ask for her father's name. It is better to know just who we are dealing with."

Koz lifted an eyebrow. "Where are you going with little one, Jax?"

Jax chuckled and shook his head. "I'm tagging along when she goes to get a tat done. She told Nick, Quinn, and I she's never met the guy who is doing it before. I'll find out who it is from her tonight and have Juice run a check on him so I know who I'm dealing with. I think she freaked Quinn and Nick out when she said she would have to have her top off. To be honest I'm not that thrilled about it either. Also not thrilled that she has a semi late class on Monday night. Which reminds me Nick do you have a copy of her schedule with the Professors names on it? I want to have Juice run their names and see if anything pops up that shouldn't."

Nick groaned even as he nodded. "I'll get it to you later, Jax. Regina has two late classes a week. She is doing a double major as well as a minor. She's going to be ran off her feet. I have a feeling I'll have to remind her to eat just like I did earlier. She is already too thin as it is."

Jax frowned as he found himself looking at Regina. "Jesus Christ! I just realized how thin she is. Why the fuck is she so thin?"

Nick sighed. "I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with whatever health problems she had a year or two ago. She didn't tell me what kind of health problems it was only that is why she is just now starting college."

Jax swore as did Quinn, Koz, and Lorca but it was him who said "Well we'll just have to make sure that she eats and takes care of herself. From what Quinn and Koz said she knows how to handle herself in a sticky and/or tough situation. That is a good thing b,ut with as thin as she is she could get hurt easily."

Regina who heard the last part as she walked up to the bar drawled "I can take care of myself, Jax, but thank you for worrying. Out of curiosity do any of you know why Tina and Alicia keep shooting me glares? I haven't done or said anything to them tonight."

Lorca, Jax, Quinn, and Koz looked at the two women in question and glared at them but it was Quinn who said "Don't worry about them, doll. They are just jealous of you. Is any of your customers giving you a hard time?"

Regina looked at Quinn incredulously. "Why are they jealous of me? And no so far everyone is behaving, but then again it is only quarter til nine so the night is far from over."

Quinn threw his head back and laughed. "Why wouldn't they be jealous of you, doll? Have you even looked at yourself in a mirror? You are one hot woman, doll, and the way you carry yourself just reinforces that. You come off as confident and you don't take shit from anyone. That is why they are jealous of you."

Regina huffed. "Well that is just stupid. Alright I'm going to check on my customers again. And, boys, I think one of your buddies just walked in."

Lorca, Quinn, Jax, Koz, and Nick all looked at the door and smirked when they saw Happy. They waited until he got over to them and slapped him on the back.

"Not that we're not happy to see you, Hap, but what are you doing here?" Lorca asked.

Happy smirked. "I figured that I would come see why you guys are hanging out here instead of at the clubhouse where you could be getting laid. The prospect picked up the car you called about and is taking it back to the shop now, Lorca."

Lorca nodded absently as his eyes narrowed on a boy that was staring at Regina a little too hard and too long. "Hey, Nick. That boy over at the table in Tina's section that is watching Regina has he been in here before?"

Nick frowned and looked at the boy in question. "No he hasn't that I remember, Lorca. I'll keep an eye on him. I have to go into the back real quick to grab something so Regina has a snack out here to eat on so if she comes back over tell her I said to take a short break and to drink a coke."

Lorca nodded but it was Quinn who said "We'll watch over her, Nick."

Happy looked at his four brothers with narrowed eyes. "What the fuck?"

Koz chuckled and then jumped to his feet when he saw a guy grab Regina's ass. "That shit ain't gonna end well."

Jax also stood up as he shook his head. "No, brother, it ain't. Look at the look on her face."

Lorca's eyebrows went up to the middle of his forehead when he saw Regina grab the guy's hand, twist it, and then kick his chair out from under him as she forced him to his knees. "Damn she's good."

Happy was watching the scene with fire in his eyes. "Who the fuck is she? She's new I know that much."

Quinn chuckled. "That is Regina, brother. She's Nick's newest hire and the reason Koz, Lorca, Jax, and I are here instead of at the clubhouse. Koz and I met Regina last night and liked what we saw and heard. Jax and Lorca tagged along this evening to meet her. Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna take the trash out."

Happy nodded and watched as Quinn walked over and took the guy from the tiny girl. One of his eyebrows went up when he saw the girl kiss Quinn on the cheek as he said something to her and pointed towards them. He watched as the girl walked over to them and leaned against Jax as she said "Is this how it's going to be? Are you boys going to force everyone who gets a little grabby with me to leave?"

Jax chuckled and wrapped an arm around Regina's waist. "Of course, darlin. You a'ight?"

Regina rolled her eyes. "I'm good, Jax. The guy only grabbed my ass and then I had him on his knees in less than twenty seconds. So who is the new guy?"

Lorca chuckled and shook his head. "Regina, meet Happy. Happy, meet Regina. Honey, Nick wants you to drink a coke. He'll be back out here soon."

Regina nodded and walked around the bar. She got a bottle of coke from the fridge and stood up. Her eyes roamed the bar as she drank her coke. She kept an eye on her customers to make sure that they didn't need anything. "Did my car get towed, Lorca?"

Lorca nodded. "That it did, honey. We decided you could either go home with Nick or one of us will go home with you for tonight. Until we know who did that to your car you are gonna have to be careful."

Regina huffed. "I guess one of you are coming home with me then. I have to be there in the morning for the delivery people that are due at eight. I know that you said it probably wouldn't be fixed by Monday, but any chance you get my car fixed by then so I have a way to class? If not I can walk because I only live about three miles from the college."

Lorca frowned but it was Jax who said "I'll take you to school, darlin and one of us will pick you up. While you are over here give me the name of that guy you're seeing Tuesday so I can have someone look into him. Also will you give me your father's name so that I can have him looked into as well please?"

Regina smirked and pulled a piece of paper out of her cleavage and unfolded it. She quickly wrote a second name, birthday, and social security number onto the paper and then handed it to Jax. "That is the guy's name and the name of the shop as well as the address. I just added my father's name to the paper as well as his birthday and social so that you can find him easy enough. As for picking me up I have classes until nine thirty Monday night and I have an early class on Tuesday morning. So you may as well stay with me Monday night."

Jax nodded and then waited until Regina went back to her customers before he pulled his cell phone out and called Juice. After giving Juice all the info that he had on both men that he wanted checked out he ended the call and sighed. "Juice should have all the info for us by tonight or at the latest tomorrow afternoon. I guess I'll take Regina home tonight and stay with her. Not sure what the hell it is but my head is screaming at me that I have to protect her. And I'm pretty sure that it is more than the fact that she reminds me of Trinity. I'll figure it out eventually."

Lorca, Koz, and Quinn all nodded and said at the same time "I feel like that too."

Happy shook his head. "So who is the other guy that you have Juice looking up, Jax?"

Jax sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. "A tattoo artist. Regina has an appointment with him Tuesday evening but has never met him before. I'm tagging along to make sure that she is safe and that the guy doesn't try anything since she'll have to have her top off for whatever piece she is getting."

Happy's eyes snapped towards where Regina was talking to someone. As he watched her he couldn't help, but smirk and then frowned even as he finally realized why four of his brothers were protective towards the young woman. There was something innocent about her even with the way that she dressed. He also realized that not once had she shied away from them or hit on them. It was like she didn't see the kutte just the person that was wearing it. Now he could fully understand just why Jax, Koz, Quinn, and Lorca wanted to keep an eye on Regina. Well that and besides who he realized was actually her biological father after staring at her long enough in one sitting. He nor they wanted anything to take her innocence away unless she chose to. "Let me know if you need help watching the little girl. Think I figured out why you guys are so damn protective of her. I also finally recognize why she looks so damn familiar to me and probably to you guys as well."

Jax, Lorca, Quinn, and Koz all turned their heads to look at Happy and said at the same time "Why?"

Happy let out a raspy chuckle. "She looks innocent even with the way that she is dressed. There is just something about her that screams innocent. Also if you look long and hard enough she looks like Trinity does. Jax, if I'm not mistaken that girl is a half sister to you."

All four turned to look at Regina but it was Nick who said when he was back behind the bar "Happy is right boys. There is something about Regina that makes you feel as if you have to protect her from anything and everything. I felt it as soon as she walked into the bar yesterday asking about the job. She may be hell on wheels but she needs to be cared for and protected. I'm only letting her work until twelve thirty tonight and then I'm pulling her off the floor. And, Jax, now that I know what to look for she does have the look of a Teller about her. Has it been decided where she is staying tonight?"

"Yeah I'll take her home and stay with her. She said something about delivery guys being there by eight in the morning. I'll also be taking her to class Monday morning and one of us will pick her up. I got Juice running a background check on the guy who is supposed to do her tat on Tuesday and on the man who is supposed to be her father. I'll have to think of a way to broach the subject of her possibly being my half sister." Jax said as he watched with narrowed eyes as a guy approached Regina. He let out a breath he hadn't even known he was holding when the guy smiled and nodded at whatever she said before he went back to his table and the group of guys sitting at it.
