Thank you again so much for the reviews! Hope you like the update. Should have another one for you this week!

Just a side note, I will be using some of the events from Seasons 1 and 2 (because I only have those two on dvd) and some I will make my own.

Disclaimer: I do not own SOA or any of its characters, they belong to Kurt Sutter. Ronnie and Gia however are mine.

It had been three weeks since the visit to Stockton Prison and Otto had passed the tests with flying colors and was schedule transfer was in a couple days. Clay was sending some SAMCRO to help escort the buss to the new mental hospital.

I had been busy as well.

I had sold my dad's house, it was a nice newlywed couple and they paid full price. I used some of that money to buy my own condo, and set up and office. The grand opening of it would be in a couple weeks.

Jax, Opie and I had become inseparable once again. If I wasn't with Jax, I was at Opie's and when all three of us were together it was just like old times. I helped Gemma out at the shop periodically, the paper work sometimes got over whelming and she needed help with billing and invoicing vendors and customers.

I was in the office waiting for Gemma to get in so I could take off; I had some errands to run when Opie came in the office.

"I thought today was your day off?" Op asked as he punched in.

"Me too, end of the month billing issues." I said laughing off the idea of a day off.

"You wanna grab lunch? Donna is coming and picking me up, you could come?" He offered. I think that they liked that Donna and I got a long. From what I gathered from Donna was that she didn't have that many friends and she wasn't close with anyone from the family so she was kinda left out a lot.

"Maybe, come find me when it's time." I said going back to the paperwork in front of me.

"Sounds good." He said and saw Gemma coming. "Boss lady is here." And he took off, seconds later Gemma came in with coffee.

"Oh good you have a jump on those, I swear I will learn one of these days." Gemma was such a liar. Now that I was home she knew she would never have to touch them again.

"Who in the hell has been organizing these damn things?" I said frustrated.

"Half sack and Chibs, why?" She asked taking off her sunglasses and put them on the desk. I sighed and decided that even though I had officially just moved to Charming, I already needed a vacation.

"Because I have no idea what alapbet they are using but the last time I checked it didn't go A, B, F!" I said tossing the stack down on the desk.

"Baby, why don't you go grab us coffee's and I will see if I can't re organize this." She said handing me money. I wanted to give it back but I didn't feel like getting hit. I grabbed my messenger bag and headed out to my car.

"Where you headed?" Jax asked as he pulled in and walked over as I got in the car and got situated.

"To get coffee for Gem. I'll be right back." I said turning over the engine of the Monte Carlo.

"Lunch today?" He asked as he backed away from the car.

"Maybe, Opie and Donna wanted to do lunch too." I said as I put the car in reverse and headed out to the end of the parking lot. When it was clear I headed to the local coffee shop.

"What do you think you are doing?" Jax smiled from ear to ear as he watched his mom try and sort through a mountain of paperwork and he had never seen her look more lost.

"You tell that Prospect and Chibs if they ever step foot in this office again I will kill them." Gemma said as she sat back in her chair in defeat. She had been trying to fix the boy's mistake but she feared she was only making it worse.

"Hey I need a favor…" He said leaning up against the door way to the office. He smiled his brilliant smile, the one his mother never could resist.

"What?" She asked not sure if she wanted to hear what he wanted but knew she was probably going to do whatever he asked anyway. She never could resist her baby boy.

"Can you try getting a hold of Wendy? I have been trying to call her and stopped by the house a couple times but I can't seem to get her to talk to me or answer my calls. I just wanna make sure she is taking care of my baby in her belly." He said worried, after that night at Gemma's he told they were done for good and that he filed the divorce papers, it would take a couple months to be final but they were done. Since then she hadn't been answer his calls or never seemed to be home when he stopped by. He told her she could have the house because he knew she had nowhere else to go.

"Yeah I will see about tracking her down when Ronnie gets back." Gemma said putting the papers back on the desk. "Have you gone over to the storage unit yet? I don't remember exactly what is in there, but whatever you want in there is yours."

"Thanks Ma," Jax said smiling and kissing her cheek. "You look out of your element here, what are you trying to do?" He asked trying not to laugh at her.

"I was trying to help Ronnie after Prospect and Chibs ruined everything she had worked on but I think I am more confused now than I was a couple minutes ago." Gemma said feeling guilty that she wasn't able be more help.

"She does have a way with this stuff, huh?" Jax said knowing that Ronnie had been working real hard to get things organized in the office so Gemma wouldn't have to work so hard. Before Gemma could answer, his prepaid began to chip.

"Hello? What? SHIT! I will be there shortly." Jax said, Gemma could tell from his face and his tone that he just got really bad news.

"Where's Clay?" He asked sternly.

"Club house, what's going on?" She yelled after him, as soon as he heard where he was Jax took off for the club house.

"Yes, can I please get a tall Camp Fire Mocha to go please?" I ordered and handed my cash over to the bored out of his mind teenager working the counter.

"It will be just a couple minutes, you can pick it up over there, here's your change." The kid said handing me back the money, I walked over to where the sign said "Pick up" and waited patiently.

"So the rumor mill is true, Veronica Seglar is back in Charming." I heard and looked over to my side seeing a man in uniform.

"And you are?" I said trying to plan a way out of the creepy officer asking me out.

"Wow, you don't remember me? I sat behind you all of 4th grade…Mrs. Edlestein's class…" He said and I tried to think really hard, and then it hit me.

"Hale? David Hale?" I said hoping my guess was right. I saw his smile widened and I had my answer.

"It's good to see you, I'm sorry about your dad." He said as everything about him softened.

"Thanks, you look well." I said not sure what to say, David Hale and I weren't exactly close, ever and now he was standing before me practically drooling and I wasn't sure how to handle this kind of male attention. Before He could say anything else, my prepaid started to ring and I saw it was Jax. "I have to take this, please excuse me." I said excusing myself by stepping a few paces away.

"Hello? What happened? Okay I will be there in ten." I said as closed the phone and put it back in my bag.

"Camp fire Mocha to go!" The girl behind the counter called out. I grabbed the cup, now to get around David.

"Well David, I have to go, that was work and I really have to go. It was nice seeing you again, we'll…catch up later?" I asked half way out the door, I didn't mean to be rude, I just needed to get back like yesterday to the Shop, I didn't like the tone in Jax's voice and knew there was trouble.

I got back to the garage and everyone was headed in to the club house.

"Do you know what's going on?" I asked as I dropped Gemma's coffee off.

"No, but I know it's big, you better get in there, it's serious." Gemma said shewing me off to the club house. Half the time I think she used me as a spy to find out what Clay wouldn't tell her, and half the time she thought I was there for decoration.

I hurried over to the club house, and sat down as everyone was already in the room around the table.

"We got HUGE problems." Clay said looking to Jax.

"Our gun wearhouse just blew up." Jax said and everyone in the room lost it. Running guns was the main sources of income, until I could get this legitimate club business off the ground.

"Are there any leads?" I asked.

"All signs point to Mayans. Tramill is going to meet us up at the site as soon as we are done here." Jax said as he was the one that Deputy Tramill had called.

"Well then you, Ronnie, Juice, Tig, and myself will head up there and get the low down and survey the damage. The rest of you hit the streets and find out for sure who did this." Clay said slamming the gavel down and everyone headed out.

"Jax, She can't bring the car…" Clay said knowing it would be too easy to trace it back to the Sons, it just wasn't smart. Plus with it being the first time that Tramill met Ronnie and he had to know she was apart of the club and she had to be on a bike.

"I'll take Red, you take my bike." Jax said and Clay nodded in a agreence.

"Red?" I asked surprised.

"It's seems only fitting. You remember how to handle one of these?" Jax asked as he handed her a helmet.

"Just how I handle my men, squeeze my thighs and hold on for dear life." I said starting it up and staking off after Clay.

"I think I am in love." Juice said just loud enough for Jax to hear him. He shook his head and took off after her. Clay lead in front with Ronnie to his left and Jax to his right, the rest of the club fell into line behind them.

The site was an absolute disaster. There was nothing left but shell casing and burnt wood. The damage alone would cost them huge, and not to mention they didn't have insurance on the place so to find a new place would cost them big time. Even a rebuild would be pricey and pretty much wipe them out.

Jax and Clay were both fuming. I could see the anger in their eyes and knew that Tig, who was on watch at the site should have prevented this, although he was too busy having the illegals who worked for them service his dick.

"How much watch is this gonna get?" Clay asked Tramil. I knew that SAMCRO had cops on the pay roll, I just didn't know it extended to the outskirts of Charming.

"Well I heard on the scanner that Hale and his goons are headed this way with a forensics team…" He said knowing what kind of response that would get.

"Son of a bitch." Clay said sternly.

"Hale? As in David Hale?" I asked still being new back in town still was a little rough on details like this.

"Deputy David Hale, when Chief steps down next month David becomes the new Chief, and he has been trying to shut down Samcro since the day he got a badge." Bobby explained which made the want or need to reconnect with David Hale even less of a priority for me.

"This is out of his jurisdiction." I said to Tramil. He just looked at me and then to Jax.

"Tramill this is Ronnie, Our new council member, she is right under me on the food chain so it's important you know her." Jax explained as everyone began to wander around and look at stuff.

"It is out of his jurisdiction, but that's not going to stop Hale, he wants SAMCRO dead and will stop at nothing to make that happen." Tramill explaned.

"We will just have to see about that." I said as I started to wonder too. I saw a mental piece on the floor that had no fire damage to it at all and there was a metal chain attached to it. I pulled it up and the door came open to reveal the contents.

"CLAY!" I yelled, the smell of burnt flesh was almost too much, but compared to my life in Vegas this was nothing.

"What the fuck?" Jax said coming over and seeing two dead female bodies, they were positioned as if they were holding each other when they died.

"We have to get these out of here now." Clay said knowing that this would give Hale all the ammo he needed for a warrant and then jail.

"Hale's ETA on the radio said 20 minutes." Juice said as he had been over my Tramil's police scanner listening.

"We have to get out of here, Tramil, keep them away from this spot." Jax said as he rounded everyone up and we headed for the bikes.

"This has Mayan's written all over it." Bobby said as they all started up the bikes.

"I know, Juice, set it up." Clay said and then took off. Jax and I followed with everyone else falling into place. I wasn't sure what to think of the mess that was before us now. I knew that the clean up wouldn't be easy at all.

We got back to the garage and Opie and the Prospect came out. I parked Jax's bike back where it belonged, next to Clay and I went to get Juice's laptop, I had some researching to do.

"Where's Ronnie?" Opie asked worried as he didn't see her in the mesh of bikers out in the driveway.

"She took off to find Juice's laptop, where's Clay?" Asked Bobby.

"There with Gemma." Jax said and they all headed over there.

"Meet with the Mayans is set for today at 3:00 the Eco park." Bobby reported in. "I called Leory to set up a meeting but they wouldn't answer. This has to be because we sold that custom order to them." Bobby said refreshing everyone's mind.

"Yeah I know." Clay said looking to the ground. Without their wearhouse they were majorly screwed, even if they could get guns now, they would have no where to stash them.

"Who do you want at the meet with Alvarez?" Bobby asked knowing he had to tell those men first and tell them the time. Clay sighed and knew no one would like his decision but this was how it was going to be.

"Opie, Juice, Happy, Trigger, you, Chibs, Jax and Ronnie."

"No way, you can't let Ronnie come, it's too dangerous." Jax said immediately hating the idea.

"You know I never butt into club business, but she's not ready for this." Gemma whispered into Clay's ear.

"You know whatever you say is what will happen, but I am not so sure about this one…" Bobby said being loyal as ever, he did have his doubts though.

"Look, we gave her the spot in the club because we all voted and said she could handle it, this is what this club is. I am not going to baby her, and I will not tell her she can't do what the rest of the members do. She's going it's final." Clay said and started to walk away. "Make sure she had a piece before we leave here."

Jax looked over at Bobby for some back up, but all Bobby did was shrug his shoulders and follow in the direction. Jax knew in his head that Clay being the President he called the shots, but this one Jax wasn't completely comfortable with. Jax looked to Gemma to make sense of his decision, but she couldn't say anything, she knew her place and knew she had already stepped on Clay's toes by saying what she did a few minutes ago.

"Shit." Jax huffed and walked over to the garage where Opie was to fill him in on everything.
