After Jax secured Abel into the car seat, he tried again to get a call through to his mom. Worried now that maybe that dumb bitch Wendy had done something, he drove as fast as he could towards her house. Pulling into her driveway he parked as close to the Escalade as he could, it was pulled in and parked haphazardly itself. Jax wasn't taking any chances, he pulled on a pair of gloves and screwed a silencer onto the barrel of his pistol, looking over his shoulder; Abel was attempting to unbuckle himself. Cringing at the fact that his toddler son was in the truck and worried about his mom, as well as trying not to think about what his old lady would say if she knew all of this was going down, he said, "Abel, do not get out of that seat. I'll be right back."
"Wanna see Gamma." Abel replied matter of factly as he studiously ignored his dad and kept working the buckle.
"Abel." Jax's voice was steady and clipped. Surprisingly Abel looked up as the tone changed. He wasn't a stupid baby. "Do not get out of that seat. I'm not kidding, and unless you want to make Daddy very angry, you'll stop."
Abel's bottom lip started to quiver and his blue eyes welled up with tears, it wasn't very often that he didn't get his way and his daddy never got mad at him. He didn't understand why he couldn't go see his Gamma. Jax turned and slid out of the seat, part of his heart was broken and the other part of him wanted to kick his own ass for bringing Abel. He shut the door quietly and sliding along the front carefully made his way towards the front door. He peaked into the window closest to the door and although a sheer window covering was pulled closed he was still able to see that everything looked like it was still in place. He reached for the knob and it turned easily. Jax pushed open the door, keeping his back to the wall and entered silently. His mom's bird was sitting quietly on the back of a chair and chirped once at Jax as he entered.
Jax didn't hear anything else, all the furniture and things were in their places; it didn't look like anything had happened here. He straightened up, wondering what the hell was going on and just then he heard footsteps crossing the stone tile floor. He pulled the pistol up and pointed it towards the hall, his finger resting carefully on the edge of the trigger guard.
"What the fuck?" Gemma said, a pistol gripped in her own hand as she saw her son. "Jax, what are you doing here?"
"I should ask you, what the hell is going on Mom?" He demanded, putting the safety on his gun and stowing it at the small of his back. He pushed his baseball cap back on his head slightly and stepped towards her.
"Jesus Jax, you scared the shit out of me, what are you doing here, are the kids okay?" She set her pistol down on a table and lit a cigarette.
"The kids are fine, Abel's in the truck. He's pretty pissed off that I didn't bring him in to see 'Gamma' so I'll have to deal with that in a minute."
Gemma exhaled a steady stream of smoke and gestured towards the door, "Well, he'll just have to be pissed off, Gamma isn't exactly going to be able to see him right now."
For the first time Jax noticed his mom's hands were shaking slightly and she was a little frazzled, he reached for his pistol and said quietly, "What's going on here Mom?"
Sighing she waved off his gun and said, "Wow. I'm in a bit of trouble here Jax, I mean I don't want Clay to find out what I did and I never wanted you to find out and now you're here," she paused and inhaled on her cigarette before continuing, "I really don't know what to do now."
Jax lit his own smoke and walked over to his mom, pulling her in close he kissed her forehead and said, "Mom, just what the hell are you talking about?"
She looked at him and with an uneasy smile on her face said, "Come with me Jax."
The two of them walked back down the hallway towards the basement door, she stopped in front of the heavy oak door and said, "I wasn't thinking okay? I was just reacting."
"Just open the door Mom." Jax said resignedly, he was afraid to see what was down in the basement. The two of them descended the stairs to the neat and orderly basement floor, Gemma reached over and switched the lights on and instantly Jax groaned. "Mom? Seriously? Like my life wasn't fucked up enough?" He angrily swiped his hat off his head and then replaced it. She shrugged and looked from him to where Ima and Wendy were tied and duct taped to each other, both of them looking like they hadn't seen the inside of a bathroom in a week and both of them glaring daggers at him and his mom.
Jax took her elbow and led her up the stairs, making both Ima and Wendy kick and scream through the gags in their mouths. At the top of the stairs he shut the door hard and rolled his eyes, "Please tell me that there is a reason my ex wife and that dumb porn bitch are tied up in your basement?'
Gemma sighed and looked at her son, what had seemed like a good idea at the time no longer quite made sense, "I'll tell you, let's get Abel and bring him inside, I'll pour us each a drink and tell you what happened."
Jax rolled his shoulders and glanced up at the ceiling, he was furious, but also relieved somewhat that the dumb bitches were contained. He shook his head at his mom and went to get his son out of the truck, as he left he muttered under his breath, "What next? What else can possibly go wrong today?"
Jax's phone began to ring; he pulled the phone open and looked at the display. Smiling and cringing at the same time he answered it, "Hi Tara."
