I was back to work the next day. Yesterday after Happy and I finished talking we went and talked to Jax, Opie, Chibs, Juice and Tig who were in the clubroom. When I finished telling them I saw the angry look that Opie threw at Tig and the guilt on Tigs face. Something had obviously happened there, but it was not my place to ask. We agreed that I would say that it was a hit and run and that I did not see anything.

I finished a meeting with Margarete. She offered me a few day off but, I told her I would be okay with light duty but I did ask her to hold any more lectures for the next couple of weeks. Happy and I had compromised that they would be very busy trying to figure out with the cartel and he would be more comfortable with me staying in town. And that the next time he could drive me to the airport or that at least we did not have this threat present.

I walked towards my office hoping for an easy day with mostly paperwork

"Abel…Abel" I hear someone frantically yell. I turned around and saw a little boy hiding behind the vending machine.

"Hey Buddy" I bend down until we were eye level. " Are you playing hide and seek?" I asked the little blond boy. He nodded his head. "Does your mommy know?"

"Gamma" he said looking over my shoulder. I turned around and came face to face with Gemma Teller-Morrow

"Hello Gemma" I said standing up and smiling brightly at her.

"See Happy is getting tired of you" she said pointing at my bruised face and looking pleased with herself. I could not even think of a response to that.

"Come Abel lets go" she said grabbing his hand and walking away.

"What a bitch" I thought to myself. I turned around and was going to walk to my office when I noticed a sticky note of the floor where Abel had been.

"Dear Jackson, the truth about your father is in these letters. You should know John like I did – Maureen"

I put the note in my slacks pockets and walked towards Tara's office.

"Hey Tara" I said walking into the office when she called to come in

"Oh Kate" she stood from behind her desk and walked towards me. "Jackson told me last night, I am so sorry about this happening" she gave me a light hug

"Its okay, I am fine" She gave me a look "I really am" she nodded her head

"I ran into Abel and Gemma a few minutes ago. He dropped this" I said handing her the letter "thought you might need it" she took the sticky note. I could see her face pale at reading it

"Oh I am sorry, is it not yours?" I asked going to grab the note

"No it is" she said pulling the note closer to her. She then rips the note until it's the size of confetti.

"I do not know what to do" she says in a small voice sitting on the couch across her desk

"Do about what?" I asked sitting next to her

"I can't tell you" she says shaking her head

"Okay, but let me know if you need anything from me" I said standing up

"What would you do Kate? If you knew a truth that could change everything around you"

"I would tell it" I said confident

"You have not even asked me if it would change for the good or the bad " she said

"It does not matter Tara, when you lie even by omission it rolls into a snowball of lies and just creates more trouble. And I think you know you should tell the truth other wise you would not be debating it so much" I said

"Thanks" she said as I closed the door behind me.

After a few hours I decided to walk to the deli across the street for lunch. While the food at the hospital was not horrible it was very bland and I just wanted something a bit fatty. As I walked closer to the deli I crossed walked by a alley way. I could hear voices arguing

"…You cant do that!" the first voice shouted. Juice's voice I realized.

"If you do not do what Potter asked then he will tell the club your secret. I would hate to find your body later on" said a black police officer walking out the alley from the other side. I saw Juice push his hands thru his hair clearly frustrated and kicked a trash container over.

"Juice?" I gently called. Before he turned I could see him wipe his face.

"Hey Kate" he said trying to smile

"Hey Juice, can you do me a favor" he nodded his hand "I am not feeling to well can you drive me home?" I asked hoping to get him a lone and talk to him

"Let me call Happy" he said pulling his phone

"No, Happy said he would be very busy today. I do not want to bother him" he noodled his head. We walked back towards the hospital neither of us talking. Once we were in the car I quickly Texted Margarete letting her know that I would be going home for the rest of the day and blamed it on the accident. She texted me letting me know to not hesitate to call her if I need anything else.

"You like Chinese?" I asked him. He nodded his head

"What do you like?"

"Kung pao chicken and fried rice" he answered. I pulled my phone and ordered kung pao chicken and sesame chicken with fried rice and an order of eggrolls. He looked at me questioning.

"I need to thank you for giving me a ride" he nodded his head. We walked into my house and into the kitchen.

"Get a drink, I am going to change into something more comfortable." I said. I walked into my room and quickly changed into a pair of cotton sleep pants and plain black t-shirts. I walked back to the kitchen barefoot.

"The food should be here soon" I said as Juice sat in one of the two breakfast bar stool.

"You heard?" he asked looking up at me. I nodded my head.

"Its so fucking stupid" he laughed with out humor "I finally found a family and they will kick me out just like my real family and this time over something I had no control over, did not even know until a few days ago when it was brought to my attention. How fucking bad luck that is " he yelled slamming his fist on the breakfast bar.

"Juice.. tell me and I promise I will do everything I can to help " I said grabbing his fist with both my hands. He looked at me for a minutes.

"I am black" he whispered

"Okay" I said encouraging him to continue

"Well half black, there are no black members in the sons of anarchy is all white"

"But you and Happy are Hispanic" I pointed confused

"I am Puerto Rican and Happy is 3rd generation Hispanic he does not even speak Spanish" he said

"And they would kill you over it?" I asked disgusted. He nodded his head sadly tear flowing freely.

"But what about the girls. I have seen a couple of black girls hanging around sleeping with you guys"

"That's different, they are just hang arounds not part of the club" he said

"So what does Potter want from you?" I asked

"He wants me to rat on the club"

"Juice do not do it" I begged him

"I am dead either way." He said his body sagging even more.

"Juice… please give me a week. Let me poke around and see what I can find. Please do not do anything you will regret" I begged him again. He nodded his head. Our heads snap towards the door when we hear a motorcycle pull up.

"Wash your face" I said to him pulling him to the kitchen sink. I grabbed a few paper towels for him to dry his face.

Knock…Knock

I walked to the door and opened it

"Hey" I greeted Happy. I tried to smile but it was more of grimace

"You okay" he asked walking in and looking over my body

"I guess I will get going" Said Juice stepping out into the hallway

"Okay thanks Juice. I owe you one" I said to him.

"Bye brother" Said Juice walking out the door. Happy looked at the closed door confused

"I was going to get lunch when I felt sick, I ran into Juice and I asked him if you could drive me home. I did not think I could drive myself"

"your injuries?" he asked. I felt dirty for lying to him specially after my speech to Tara, but I promised I would figure it out and tell him. i nodded my head.

"I ordered some Chinese, want to eat in bed and watch a movie?" he nodded his head and kissed me softly. We spent the next few hours watching action movies. I made him watch Taken with Liam Neson when he said he had not seen it. I was very pleased that he liked it. We kissed a few times but I had Juice on my mind and I prayed he was wrong at what the guys would do if they found out about him. Other wise I knew I could not stay with Happy.

"Stop Kate" I yelled at myself. We will think about it when we get there.

"I need to get going babe, we have a protection run tonight" Happy said standing from the bed.

"Okay" I said kissing his lips lightly

"Let me know if you do not work tomorrow, we can stay in and cuddle" I laughed

"I will see tomorrow"

The next day I walked into the clubhouse hoping to find Juice to talk to him. I did not find anyone in the clubhouse so I choose to wait in the bar. I pulled my laptop to work on my schedule for the next week for work and a reschedule a few surgeries to next week. I sat there if anyone asked I would just say that I was looking for Happy. I pulled my phone and grabbed a pair of headphones to listen to music while I waited.

30 minutes or so later I was done with the work and I saw that the clubhouse is still empty. I walked towards the back of the clubhouse where the dorm rooms are hoping to find him but I could not remember which one was his room but narrowed it down to 2. I walked to the first one and open the door slowly not wanting to startle any of the guys. I have seen them all wearing guns and large knifes around their hips and figure it was not good to scare them.

"…know Fi. I wish I could see her more. You know I love her with all my heart, but now I do not have the funds to get her here." Chibs was on the phone and looked frustrated as he ran his hands over his face.

"No I am not asking you to pay for me to see her, but you also want her to fly first class because you think that its safer. I have some money saved up but you said you only want her to come for a couple of weeks at the end of summer. Not now in May" he said

"Fiona! Stop! I love her and I will figure it out" he said closing the phone and throwing it against the wall.

"Oh" he turned at the sound. His face was red and angry.

"Kate, can I help you?" he asked running a hand through his hair

"No I am fine. Want to talk about it?" I asked "Promise I am a good listener" he looked at me for a few second before looking at the phone on the floor.

"That was Fiona my ex-wife. She has a new boyfriend that wants to take her on a cruise around Europe. It took a lot of convincing but she finally agreed to let my daughter come visit and we had agreed it would only be for a couple of weeks at the beginning of August but now she wants her to come next weekend a few days after she gets out of school." He continued "I love Kerriane and would love for her to spend the whole summer with me but right now I don't have the funds" he let out a long sign "Fuckin shit ,I hoped that after everything we went through last year that Fiona and I would end up together so I did not handle that the best way either"

"Where are they?" I asked

"Ireland"

"I am going to ask a stupid question and please do not take it personally" he turned to look at me questioning

"Isn't being part of an outlaw biker club means you should have money to spare" he laugh

"You would think" he said "But the last couple of years have kicked our asses and Unser trucking is running out of business . Between making sure all the guys had money in jail and taking care of their families were all ran pretty low on funds"

"What do you mean about the families?" I asked curiously

"Like paying for Maria's medical treatment, house payments on Clays, Jax and Juices house. Giving Tara and Gemma money specially Tara with the Thomas and Abel. Bobby's baby mamma some child support so she would not make trouble for him now that he was in jail. Hiring more help for the shop now that the guys were in the big house it meant less time that the rest of us could be here working."

"Oh"

"Yeah we try to take care of our own. I am not complaining and I love Tara like family she is a great person and doctor. Comes at 3 in the morning if we need her so I am glad we can help. And the money I have I try to send Kerrianne money every month make sure that she has what she needs" he said

"Come" I said to him as I motioned for him to follow me. I walked towards the shop and I could hear his boot steps follow me. I sat on my previous seat and opened my computer

"What lass?" he asked sitting next to me.

"I have a lot of free miles"

"No, do not worry about it, I will figure it out" he said starting to get up from the booth.

"Chibs please" I said grabbing his and mind and pulling him back. I quickly logged into my flights rewards. After a few minutes and with a few questions that Chibs answered to me I was able to calculate that the mile

So covered most of the flight 1st class round flight and would just have to pay $196 more. I told Chibs about it but he did not look convinced.

"Look Chibs most of there miles are from when I go on medical conferences and lectures that the hospital pays for so I am just getting miles for free. Please take it" he still looked unconvinced

"you said you take care of family so let me help you. I know Happy and I are not official or anything but I care about him and he cares about please take them" I said to him

"Are you sure?" he asked. I nodded my head

"Okay" he finaly agreed .

"yes" I got up and hugged him "Thank you" I sat down back on the computer and started the paperwork to buy the flight

"Can you have her send me a copy of her passport?" I asked him

"Can we finish it tomorrow. I don't want to call Fiona now we were both upset and I think she needs to cool down"

"Yeah no problem" I said and started to pack my things

"did you want to wait for Happy?" Chibs asked

"No, its fine I was actually looking for Juice" I said wrapping my headphones in their case

"Oh so it's the brown latino skin" I turned around and faced Gemma

"No, its not" I said pulling my bag over my shoulder

"See ya" I said smiling brightly at Chibs and her. I was not going to let her get to me. I knew that there was nothing going on between juice and me and I would hope that Happy would know me better than that.
