A/N: We left off with a shooting. Couldn't make the story all rainbows, fun, and sunshine. Thanks for the follows guys. I am always happy for reviews, good or bad. If you want to see someone's POV in this story just ask and I will try my hardest to write it in. :O)
CHIBS POV
I watched the girls walk away. I had my arms wrapped around Winnie. She pulled away and grabbed a big black garbage bag from next to the grill. I watched her confused as she started to clean up my backyard. We all just got attacked and here she is cleaning. A laugh escaped me and she looked over and scowled.
"No use leaving this mess to come back to clean even more. All this food will spoil and rot overnight." She stated. Her eyes bore into mine and I kept the smile on my face. She walked over and handed me the bag of garbage and told me she was going to clean inside. Shaking my head I started picking up the yard. I guess she was right everything would be nasty picking up tomorrow. I noticed the grill was on and turned it off. Once the mess was clean outside I went to look for Winnie. I walked into the kitchen and it was still a mess. Suddenly my emotions exploded with horror. I started running around the house screaming her name. She was nowhere to be found. I checked for my bike and my car. They were both there. Panicing I called Jax.
"Jax we were cleanin' up. I was outside and she was in. I came in to look for er and she's gone!" I yelled into the phone. At first there was silence.
"Chibs… You need to find her. If Tara finds out she's gone she is going to kill you." Jax whispered into the phone.
"I don't know where she went. You have any idea?" I questioned.
"Home. So find her before she gets there." And then the line went dead. I walked into my room to change. I saw on the bed Winnie's phone and wallet. I picked up the cell to see who her last call was to. It was to Tara. Around the time she walked in. I searched the text messages for any clues. Not a single text from today. I knew better than to call Tara. I searched the house one more time and jumped on my bike. I prayed I would find her.
WINTER POV
"Tara, it's me. Don't worry when you hear I'm gone. I am going to a motel on 19th. I'm sorry I had to sneak like this but I need some time to think. This shit is insane. I'm leaving my phone and wallet at Chibs as proof I'm coming back. I have enough cash for the night and morning. Please don't worry. I love you sis." I said fast into Taras voicemail. I grabbed Chibs house phone knowing he'd look at my cell and forget the landline. I quickly dialed 411 and ordered a cab to come pick me up. I ran to the front door and waited looking throw the back glass door to make sure Chibs was still working as I watched the front for the cab. I saw Chibs walking up to the back door the same moment I saw the cab. I an out the front and into the cab.
"Bring me to the Cruise Motel, 19th st. and hurry the hell up." I yelled at the cabbie.
"Geeze Miss you in some kind of trouble?" The cabbie asked.
"No. Just drive." I frowned at the rear view mirror. The cabbie took off and I felt relieved for the first time in 3w days. As we pulled up to the motel I paid the cabbie and walked into the office. There was a guy behind the counter and a bleach blonde talking to a Mexican guy off in the corner.
"So like, They will all be at the clubhouse tonight. When something happens they dragged all the "family" there to keep them safe. Since the company I work for does business with them I will be there tonight too." The blonde was telling the Mexican guy.
" So you will text me the whole time? Let me know what's up?" He asked her rubbing his hands together.
"I can't they take the phones as we walk in." She grumbled.
"Okay then I need you to meet me as soon as you can at our location. We need to know what they are planning babe. So make sure you come first thing in the morning." He told her.
"Okay hun, don't worry. Where am I going to? She purred into his ear.
"Crossroads of 14th and Wilson. There's a warehouse. Call me when you get your phone back." He kissed her and told her he'd miss her. I was just finishing the paperwork for my room and paying as the guy got in line behind me.
"Hey Chica hurry up paying." The guy said to my back.
"Yeah. Yeah. I'm going." I said and turned around. I saw the mans vest and realized he was a Lobos Sonora Cartel. The girl he was talking to was going to Teller-Morrow. I smiled my most expansive smile and turned on the flirt.
"Oh hi. I'm sorry if I sounded so rude. I'm just tired. So much traveling." I batted my lashes a couple times and yawned.
"Eh, that's okay baby. You need some company?" He said looking me up and down.
"I don't think your girlfriend would like that." I cooed at him.
"Eh Ima means nothing to me. Just a dumb porn whore I'm using." he said grabbing my hand and pulling me close. I racked my brain for an out.
"I see. Well, I am really tired I'm taking a route 66 tour and my car broke down today. My guy is going to be here soon and wouldn't like the extra company." I smiled and wiggled out of his arms. Happy with my lie.
"Well if you feel the need to sneak away you let me know." He said and handed me a card. I looked and it read Jose Muetro with a cigar company logo on it.
"Ohhh you sell cigars?" I smiled at him.
"Yeah. Best stuff around. Call me and I'll hook you up…..?" He said slowly.
"Tiffany." I said and shaked his hand. I was dumb enough to use my real name. He smiled and walked up to the desk.
"See ya later." He said looking behind and smiling.
My room was small and dark. I walked in and suddenly felt nervous. I couldn't shake the feeling. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. The redhead on Chibs lap was talking to a girl. A blonde girl. Ima. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. I picked up the phone and then realized what Ima had said, they take the cell phones. That's why I got Tara's voicemail. I started to panic. Pacing the floor I thought of my options. I could taxi it back to Chibs or the clubhouse. I could stay here. I could call the shop and tell them about Ima. If I call the shop about Ima that Jose would know I called. I decided it would be better to get the hell out of there and get to the clubhouse.
TARA POV
"Please Jax. Just let me text her. " I pleaded.
"Tar, she's okay. She is with Chibs." He hugged me trying to calm my nerves.
"Okay." I pouted a little. I hated being defeated. But then it hot me. I could call from the shop phone. Gemma was still in the shop.
Looking up at Jax I said, "I'm going to go get Gemma and tell her it's lock up time." I smiled, kissed him, and walked out. I saw Gemma at the desk deep in thought.
"Hey you what's up?" she said with a tiredness in her voice.
"I wanted to see if I had any work messages and Jax took the phones already. Didn't want to bug him." I smiled.
"Nice try hun. Who are you really calling?" She smirked at me.
"Winnie. Her and Chibs haven't shown up yet." I said fast. Gemma raised her eyes.
"Fine but hurry up." She told me. Winnies phone went strait to voicemail so I decided to call my phone to see if I had any messages from her. When her message came on my face must have dropped because Gemma started yelling.
"What's wrong? What is it Tara?"
"She snuck away from Chibs and went to a motel on 19th. We have to call Chibs. He has to find her." I said as Gemma grabbed the phone from me. Dialing she yelled into the phone at Chibs.
"She's in a motel on 19th st. Find her and bring her here Chibs. There's only 3 motels. She has to be at one of them." Gemma yelled.
"Gemma. I'm freaking out. What if something happens to her?" I almost strated crying when Jax burst into the office.
"Hey. You guys come on. We are locking up. We will let the later people in when they call." Jax told us. Me and Gemma looked at each other as we followed him to the clubhouse. We were both worried.
