Everyone was hard at work, when they heard the power click in for the temporary stage set up, and they started doing soundchecks. There were instrument noises, and someone speaking softly into the microphone, while Sledge was messing with some kind of power board. Then there was silence for about twenty seconds before there was a quick count off, and the music began, drawing all the men out of the garage to watch for a moment.
Sam and Val were back in their skimpy clothes. Kes was behind the drums, Sam was playing bass guitar, and both Toni and Val held guitars. Val was approaching the microphone.
(V) In the daylight,
I'm your sweetheart,
You're goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art
But you don't know me,
And soon you won't forget,
Bad as can be, yeah you know I'm not so innocent
Better beware I go bump in the night,
Devil-may-care with a lust for life,
And I know you,
Can't resist me,
Soon though you,
Are so addicted
Boy you better run for your life!
(V,S)Welcome to the nightmare in my head,
(A)(Oh god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed,
(Oh god!)
Just give in and you won't be sorry,
Welcome to my other side,
Hello it's Mz Hyde!
(V)I can be the bitch,
I can play the whore,
Or your fairytale princess who could ask for more
A touch of wicked,
A pinch of risqué,
Good girl gone bad, my poison is your remedy
Better be scared, better be afraid,
Now that the beast is out of her cage,
And I know you,
Wanna risk it,
Soon though you,
Are so addicted
Boy you better run for your life!
(V,S)Welcome to the nightmare in my head,
(A)(My god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed,
(My god!)
Just give in and you won't be sorry,
Welcome to my evil side,
Hello it's Mz Hyde!
Hello it's Mz Hyde!
Hello it's Mz Hyde!
(V)I'm the spider crawling down your spine,
Underneath your skin
I will gently violate your mind,
Before I tuck you in
Put on the blindfold
There's no way to be sure,
Which girl you'll get to know!
(V,S)Welcome to the nightmare in my head,
(A) (My god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed,
(My god!)
Just give in and you won't be sorry,
The nightmare in my head,
(Oh god!)
Say hello to something scary,
The monster in your bed,
(Oh god!)
Just give in and you won't be sorry,
Welcome to my evil side,
Hello it's Mz Hyde!
(V)Hello it's Mz Hyde!
"That sounded great, Val," Kes called out.
"Thanks, I want to check out We Are Broken, and Blow Me, too." As she spoke Val and Sam were switching instruments. Val now had a bass guitar and Sam a guitar. "Blow Me first?" she asked, and the others nodded.
It was fascinating watching them. The men had never seen behind the scenes for this sort of thing before. Although they smiled, the girls were serious about their work. And they were good. At least what they heard so far. This was the first time they'd heard them with instruments.
The women started playing again, and this time it was Sam singing.
(S)White knuckles
And sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw
I've got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire
And they burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying
I've been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope
Trying to hold, trying to hold
But there's nothing to grab
So I let go
(A)I think I've finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss
(S)You think I'm just too serious
I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss
Just when it can't get worse
I've had a shit day
You've had a shit day
We've had a shit day
(A)I think that life's too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss
(S)I won't miss all of the fighting
That we always did
Take it in
I mean what I say when I say "there is nothing left"
No more sick whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You'll be calling a trick
'Cause you no longer sleep
I'll dress nice, I'll look good
I'll go dancing alone
I will laugh, I'll get drunk
I'll take somebody home
Sam had a really good voice too, husky and deeper than her speaking voice.
(A)I think I've finally had enough

Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
(S)I will do what I please
Anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe
I won't worry at all
You will pay for your sins
You'll be sorry, my dear
All the lies, all the whys
Will all be crystal clear
(A)I think I've finally had enough

The women didn't talk, just seemed to change into the next song that Toni was singing. Her voice was a little higher, brighter, and more clear than husky.
(T)I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah
(A)Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
(T)Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
(A)Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
(T) Tower over me
(Ah...) Tower over me
(Ah...)
And I'll take the truth at any cost
Cause we are broken
(A)What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
Sledge moved up onto the stage. "That was great ladies. No one seems louder than the others. Val, your kit is up here, are you sure you want to do it tonight, you haven't done it in a few weeks."
"I'm sure, gives me more practice," she told him. "Thanks Sledge."
He hopped off the stage, heading over to the guys, while the girls drank from bottles of water.
"Kit?" Happy asked.
Sledge nodded. "Yeah, Val has this… trick she does after one of their songs. It's… something to see, but scares the fuck out of me." As he walked away, the men barely made out his muttered words, "Little fuckin' pyros, all of 'em."
Suddenly, a squealing of tires broke the relative quiet of the afternoon. The guys moved quickly from the garage, Tig handed out weapons, and all ran towards the girls thinking they'd need to protect them. A metallic purple Honda Civic came tearing around the corner, only hitting the brakes when it passed the gate into the lot, skidding several yards. The Civic had little paw prints all over it. There was a horrible screeching noise that made the guys wince for the poor car. The girls were running towards the car much to Clay's chagrin. The driver-side door flew open and a girl jumped out.
"That's Michelle O'CHallarin," Juice told Jax. He'd come across pictures of the extremely petite girl when researching the others.
"Mouse!" Sam yelled, sweeping the girl into a hug.
Mouse, was maybe five foot one, her long brown hair pulled into pigtails on either side of her head, she was wearing a Corona tank top and cut off denim shorts. "ohmygoshohmygosh, where is he?"
"Where is who, Mousey?" Toni spoke slowly. Mouse was in panic mode and they needed to stay calm so she would calm down.
Mouse's face brightened, "You mean I beat him here?" she fist pumped the air, "I am invincible a!" The girl did a little dance, stopped and started babbling. "As soon as I found out, I didn't even think about it, I just got in the car and drove. I didn't even stop to pee, and you know how I am on long car rides, and I do seriously need to pee, but first we need to do something…." Her eyes were flickering around, taking in the bikers, and anything that might help. "Like lock the gates, circle the wagons… or hide!" she finished, and then she began nodding, "Yes, hiding is definitely the answer." The girl stepped forward and grabbed Val's arm, "Let's go, time to hide."
Jax frowned and moved closer to the blonde and new girl. Why would Val need to hide?
"Michelle, what the hell is going on?" Sledge snapped.
"Oh, hey Sledge," she said cheerfully. "Um, we gotta hide Val."
"Why?" Kes questioned.
Mouse frowned. "I thought I explained that…" she looked at the men surrounding them, "Didn't I explain that?"
"Not really, Darlin," Jax thought this girl could rival Juice with the ADHD thing.
"Not at all," Juice muttered, and hoped he never sounded like that.
"Oh! Well duh," Mouse took a deep breath, and then blurted it out, "Ash is coming."
And judging by the reactions of the Texas group, this was not welcome news. Kes's hands began clenching, Toni was almost vibrating with rage, Sam had wrapped her arms around herself in her unhappiness, and Val… she'd taken a step back like she'd been slapped.
"Fuck," Sledge sighed heavily.
"Exactly, hence the hiding," Mouse pointed out.
"Michelle, is that your name," Clay asked.
She gave him a bright smile, "Technically, but everyone calls me Mouse."
"Ok," Clay just decided to go with it. "Mouse who is Ash, and how far behind you is he."
"Oh… OH, you don't know about ASH," Mouse realized, her eyes flickering to the other girls.
The men looked to the four girls too. They had made their faces blank, and hadn't moved.
The sound of a Harley engine could be heard quickly approaching. Everyone turned to look at the gates, and Jax saw Val take another step back.
"That would be Ash," the tiny girl muttered.
Val took out a cigarette and lit it with shaking hands. Sam moved closer to the blonde and wrapped her arm around the other girl's waist. Kes stepped forward, in front of Val, and Toni moved to the blonde's other side.
Jax got it. Circling the wagons. They were circling Val, putting her in the most secure area. Protecting her. Sledge was cracking his knuckles. Jax moved closer to the women. He noticed Happy following his lead. Kozik went to stand next to Juice who was near the women at the new stage.
A bike rounded the corner, and the man driving shut it off and slid off, moving towards the group. He took off his helmet, to reveal blonde hair cut in some trendy style. He stood about six foot, and looked like he probably worked out. Jax could see how girls could think he was attractive. "Fuck Michelle, couldn't you just butt the fuck out?" The man yelled. He was carrying a UPS mailer.
"No actually, I really couldn't," she moved up getting in his way. Brave little thing, since currently there was no one on the lot smaller than her.
"Move, I'm giving this to Val," he sneered. His kutte showed he was a member of the SOAHTC crew. He kept moving forward.
Jax had a feeling this was the 'pretty' boy boyfriend that shoved Val off a wall. From the look on his brothers' faces they had that feeling too. It looked like Tig was moving forward extremely slowly so as not to be noticed.
"Man maybe we would have had a better relationship if you bitches stayed the fuck out of our lives!"
Mouse started jumping up and down in front of him, trying to block him and take the large envelope from him at the same time. "No!" she shouted. "You aren't supposed to even be here. Bruno said you couldn't come, AND he said not to give that to them! Don't make me call Bruno!"
"Mouse step back sweets," Val told the smaller girl, and stepping forward. Toni reached forward, stopping the blonde's forward momentum.
Suddenly the man, reached out, his hand covering Mouse's face and he shoved the small girl down. She cried out in surprise, and he spat out, "Little rat."
All of SAMCRO that stood in the parking lot drew on the man. That stopped his forward movement. And then Tig's fist was planted in Ash's face.
"What the fuck!" he dropped to his ass rubbing his jaw. "Whoa, guys, I'm a Son." He announced, holding his arms up.
"Yeah, we got that shithead, seeing your kutte and all," Clay snapped.
"Son, we do not take kindly to women being mistreated here." Chibs told the cocky younger man. Juice had moved over to help Mouse stand. Val also moved over. Mouse was wincing as she tried to put weight on her ankle.
"What the fuck do you want, Varner?" Val asked wearily. Just her tone of voice had Jax frowning.
"Babe, first we need to talk. I know you're mad, but I think talking is seriously important right now. I brought you some mail, and I'm here to protect you."
"First, don't call me Babe. Second, there is NOTHING we have to discuss. And third I would rather have a sleepover with a serial killer than have you protect me. I've got plenty of protection," she motioned to the men who were still aiming their weapons at him.
"She's not going anywhere with you, Fuckface," Kes hissed at him. "The last time she went somewhere alone with you she ended up looking like the bride of Frankenstein."
Val grabbed the envelope and walked away from him, Sam close behind.
"Val, Sam, no don't look," Mouse's voice trailed off in distress.
Toni and Kes ran to the other two girls as they began to weep quietly. Mouse was forcing Juice to help her move to them.
Mouse slapped his hand, "Move me over there 'Last of the Mohawkens! My sisters are CRYING!" The Puerto Rican just rolled his eyes at her bossy attitude.
Clay looked at Jax, "Keep on him." Jax was nodding before he had finished speaking. Clay walked over to the ladies he was supposed to be protecting, patting Tig's shoulder as he walked by. "Let me see," he told them gently. He looked at the contents of the envelope silently, then looked at the girls. "You do not need to see this anymore, understand?"
The girls were nodding. The five were now standing, and had all five foreheads together. Juice just waited a few steps behind because he knew the tiny girl had a hurt ankle.
Clay faced the other man. "Your name is Ash?" Ash Varner nodded. "Why the fuck would you go against your President's wishes, bring this trash here, and make those girls look at it?"
Ash began frowning. "Because they need to know how serious this shit is! Bruno can't just keep them in the dark and think that will protect them."
"Bullshit," Toni managed through a clenched jaw, striding over. "You want Val to be scared, thinking she'll take you back! Well guess what AssHat, she will NEVER take you back. NEVER."
"It's none of your fucking business!" the blonde man yelled at Toni.
"You don't even know how fucking wrong you are," Toni was furious. "Maybe that's another reason yall didn't make it. You could never understand that we are everything to each other. I love Sledge with everything I am, but if my sisters hadn't liked or accepted him, I wouldn't be with him today. We," she motioned to herself and the other women, "are a package deal."
Val had managed to stop crying, she could already see Gemma moving to her and the others from the office. "We're a package deal," she repeated Toni's last words, and held up her hand with five fingers splayed out. "Five points to a star. Bruno told you to leave me alone. But you just keep pushing. And you're delusional if you think I would think about you in any positive way again."
Gemma had moved to Clay first and looked at the pictures in the envelope, "Jesus Christ," she muttered and moved to wrap her arms around Val and move her back to Sam, who she also pulled into a hug. "You're a fucking monster makin' these girls see that. If you don't get off my lot and stay away from my girls, I will kick you in the balls so hard you'll taste the dirt on the bottom of my shoes."
Sledge hit the end button on his phone. "Bruno says get your ass back to the Clubhouse. Yesterday." Sledge stepped forward barely containing his rage, the only thing reigning him in was the fact that the girls needed him to keep his cool. "And let me make something clear, these girls are MY family, and until they bestow the honor to another man to care for them, that is my job. You are riding on that thin line of where I just decide you not existing is better all around."
Ash looked over at Val. "You honestly think you'll ever find someone else? Someone who'll put up with your fucked up childhood? Having to deal with your fucking sisters in every part of your business? You can't ever date someone who isn't part of the Club. You could never bring them home. Dating another member? Well they're going to laugh in your face when it comes to your little view on the rules. Like fucking you would be enough."
Jax didn't know why but that made him snap. He stepped forward and grabbed the man by the shirt under his kutte. "If you don't want me to have my friends Happy and Tig over there," Ash saw the smiles on the men and shivered, "cut you into little pieces, you'll get off this lot, and not look back." Jax flung the smaller man backwards, and headed over to pull Val into a hug. It broke his heart a little bit the way she clutched at him. His mom put her hand on his lower back in support.
"Him!" Ash started to laugh. "The Prince of SAMCRO? You think HE'LL follow your little monogamy issues. You are fucked in the head."
Val didn't correct him. She and Jax weren't like that. She knew that Ash was telling the truth there. Jax was heir to SAMCRO, he could do what he wanted; he could do WHO he wanted.
Ash turned around, and headed back to his bike. "You'll come back eventually Val." He sounded smug. Within moments he was driving off the lot.
Jax leaned back looking in the navy blue eyes of the girl who was only sniffling now.
"I shouldn't let him get to me," she stated, and took a step back away from him. "Sorry for crying on you."
She seemed so subdued, so unlike what he'd seen from her so far. "Not a problem, Darlin'."
Mouse had managed to bully Juice into moving her right next to Sam. "I'm sorry I couldn't stop him."
Val walked over, "Oh Mousie, what did you hurt when he pushed you?"
"I can't believe that Douche pushed me," she said in a shocked tone. "It's just my ankle... and maybe my ass, from where I fell on it. I bet it'll leave a mark." She shrugged. "I'll survive."
"Chibs," Clay had to only say his name and the Scotsman was over to help the petite girl.
"Let's take a look at that ankle, Lass. Make sure it's not broken."
"Wow I could listen to you talk for HOURS." She sat at the end of the stage and held up her foot for him. "It's my own fault, I came at him from the front. I should have jumped on his back." She turned big brown eyes over to Jax, "You should have let your friends cut him into little pieces."
"Church," Clay announced.
The men began trailing their President, Tig talking to Happy. "I like that one. She's vicious."
"I think they're all vicious," Happy offered.
"Yeah," Kozik agreed, but the tone of voice said he didn't mind it at all.
