"How did you get into my house?"
He smiled at her. "Dr. Trager, I wanted to come by and thank you for taking care of me."
"You need to leave, my boyfriend will be back any minute now."
"You mean Filip Telford. No, lass, he won't we watched him leave, he was very angry." Her phone was snatched from her hand, she ran towards the door, Jimmy grabbed her by her hair and jerked her back. "Come join me on the couch."
He dragged her to the couch, kissing her, she bit down on his lip, he slapped her. "Filip will kill you!" He wrapped his hand around her throat, squeezing. She shoved her palm upward towards his nose, hearing it snap, watching blood gush out, she smiled.
"You're going to pay for that!" He threw her to the ground. "Hold her hands, When I'm done, you'll all get a turn!" She started kicking and fighting with her feet and legs. "I see why Filip is smitten with you, you're a little hell cat."
She was dragged across the living room floor, she heard her phone ringing, she continued fighting. Her pants and shirt werd cut from her body. She felt his hands touching her, violating her. She was crying and trying to get him off her. He was busy unbukling his pants, and touching her. Her door burst open and gunshots rang out, the man holding her arms fell over, she picked up a crystal ashtray and hit Jimmy up the side of the head with it, watching him fall over. She crawled to the corner of the room, her face beaten, her clothes ripped.
Unser and Hale came into the room. "Lizzie honey, we're going to take you to the hospital." She was wrapped in a blanket, and carried to the cruiser. Wayne looked at the woman laying on the back seat, he pulled out his phone and called Tig.

Tig came busting through the ER doors. "Lizzie Trager?"
"The doctor is with her now."
"How is she?"
"Have a seat, someone will be out to speak with you." Tig walked into the waiting room, and started to pace. It wasn't long before Chibs showed up.
"Where were you?" Tig had him pushed against the wall.
"We had a fight, I took a drive!'
"While you were on a drive, Lizzie was getting the shit beat out of her." Chibs didn't try to fight Tig off, he deserved whatever ass beating het got.
"How is she?" Tig could see the worry in his friend's eyes. He released his hold, letting him slide down the wall.
"They won't tell me anything." The rest of the club showed up, pacing the room, anxious on news. T
The doctor came out into the waiting room. "Trager?" Both Chibs and Tig approached the doctor. "She took a pretty bad beating. She was sexual assaulted, she wasn't rape, the police stopped before it got that far. I'm keeping her over night."
The doctor walked away, both men turned to each other. "I want someone with her at all times." Tig said.
"I plan on staying with her tonight. Do we know who did this to her?" Unser and Hale walked into the waiting room, looking at the men assembled. Looking at Tig and Chibs standing together he walked over to the men.
"We answered an alarm call, after the company tried to contact Liz. When we got there, we found two men in the process of trying to rape her. Hale shot and killed the man holding her down. When her hands were free, she picked up an ashtray and knocked the other man unconscious. We wrapped her her a blanket and brought her here."
Unser watched both men get angry. "Give us a name!" Tig growled through clinched teeth.
"You know I can't do that Tig." The two law enforcement officers walked away, going back to an exam room.
"I want to kill the bastard for touching her!" Chibs anger was about to boil out if control. The rest of the club surrounded tge two men to find out what was going on. They decided to get revenge on the bastard.
A nurse came out to take Chibs and Tig back to see Lizzie.

She hurt all over, all she wanted was to go home and curl up in bed, forgetting that this happened. Easing herself off the gurney, she took out her IV, she was closed her eyes waiting for the dizziness to pass. She looked in the mirror and gasped, she looked like she'd been in a bar room brawl.
Searching the room for her clothes, she found a hospital bag, she pulled them out slowly getting dressed. Leaning against the gurney, she winced in pain. Jackie one of the nurses came in, and was alarmed to see her dressed.
"Dr. Trager, what are you doing?"
"I'm going home Jackie."
"Dr. Plunkett wants you to stay the night."
"Bring me the AMA papers, I'm leaving." The door opened up, her brother and Chibs walked in behind her.
"Like hell you are, Lizzie bear!"
She glared at her brother, moving towardsthe door, Chibs put his arm out to stop her, she cried out in pain. "Please stay love."
"I'm going..." She passed out in his arms, Chibs picked her up and laid her back on the gurney.
She woke up in a hospital room, Chibs was sleeping in a chair on one side of her and Alex was on the other. Trying to set up, she let out a little moan. Chibs sat up immediately, taking her hand.
"Lizzie, I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you!"
"He would of made you watch, then killed you!"
"Who baby" Tig had woken up, hearing them talk.
"It was Jimmy O'Phelan." She felt Chibs grip tighten on her hand, she looked at him through her tears and could see the rage in his eyes.
"He did this to you?"
"Filip.." She looked at her brother, she could see he was barley holding on to his own anger. Chibs stormed out of the room, Lizzie rolled to her side crying, she knew this would happen. Jimmy had touched her, now Filip didn't want her anymore.
"Lizzie bear, look at me!" She rolled over, looking at her brother. "We are going to make that bastard pay for hurting you."
She rolled over, putting her back to her brother, crying. "He doesn't want me now, because another man touched me. Jimmy had his hands all over me, now.."
"Lizzie bear, that isn't true..."
She continued to cry, knowing that she'd lost the man she loved.

Chibs was pacing the hall, wanting to kill Jimmy O, for touching what was his. He was furious, he needed to calm down before he went back in to be with her. It was bad enough to think a stranger violating her, but now knowing it was his enemy.
He wanted to drive a knife inti the man's heart, after he beat the living shit out of him. Thr door opened and Tig came out into the hall glaring at him. "You need to get your ass in there and fix this shit, before I beat your ass for making her cry."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Lizzie is in there heartbroken because she thinks you don't want her because Jimmy touched her!"
Chibs started at Tig in disbelief. "It's not like that...not want her? I'm in love with her Tig..." He left his brother in the hall, going back into the room. He heard her sobs and saw her body shaking. He pulled off his Kutte, kicked off his boots. Climbing into bed with her, he pulled her into his arms.
"I love you Lizzie!" He whispered in her ear. "How could you think I wouldn't want you?"
She turned her head to look at him, her eyes were red from crying" Filip...he touched me..."
"Christ love. I swear to you, he's going to pay for hurting you."
"I love you...just hold me." His arms pulled her close, she sank into his arms.

She woke up the next morning for an instance, her body stiffened not knowing who was touching her. She started breathing hard, she felt his hot breath on her ear. "You're okay love, you're safe."
Turning on her back, she slowly sat up, looking down at him, she brushed the hair away from his face. He kissed the palm of her hand, looking up at her. "My beautiful Lizzie, I'll protect you and keep you safe."
"I know." She smiled down at him, she leaned down to kiss him. "I love you." He gently pulled her down to him, cupping her bruised face.
"I love you too." He kissed her. She nestled close to him, enjoying the warmth. There was a knock on the door and it swung open. Gemma walked in carrying a overnight back, a tray with coffee cups, and a bag of food.
"Good morning baby. How are you?"
"I'm doing better." Smiling at Gemma, as she put the things down. Gemma looked at Chibs, handed him a cup of coffee and a sandwich out of the bag.
"Take a walk, girl talk!" Chibs looked between the two women, not wanting to leave Lizzie alone. She smiled at him and nodded her head.
"I'll be fine." She watched him leave the room. Gemma watched him reluctantly leave, she turned and looked at Lizzie.
"How are you really? "
"I'm fine Gem! I'll heal."
"How are your boys handling it?"
"How do you think? I'm afraid that it's going to end with blood shed."
"Baby, every man in this club is ready to spill Jimmy ' blood for you. Chibs and Tig are leading the charge."
"I know, I just worry."
She sat down on bed with her, brushing the hair from her face. "Eat your breakfast, so you can get dressed and go home."

She rode home in Gemma's cadellaic, half the club was in front and the other half in back. She thought it was a lot of fuss, Jimmy was locked up in jail. He couldn't hurt her, she didn't say anything because she knew the guys were just being protective.
Gemma pulled into her drive, she started to open the door to get out, Chibs was at the door lifting her out. She wrapped her arms around his neck and back, he had one arm under her leg, and the other at her lower back.
"Filip, I can walk!" He ignored her as he carried her into the house. He laid her on the couch, kissing her before he raised up. She tried to push away the memories, Chibs most of seen something in her eyes.
"It's going to be ok."
Her house was full of SAMCRO, the old ladies had brought food to feed eveyone. She really wasn't hungry, she picked at her food. She saw Chibs watching her from across the room, Alex had sat down beside her.
"Lizzie bear, we're going to make sure you're safe, that he can't hurt you again."
"What are you talking about?"
"Jimmy was released from jail today, his lawyer got him out on bond. He fled the country." She didn't say anything, she put her plate down and left the room. She rushed past Chibs, he tried to stop her but she shrugged him off. She had gone out the back door, gasping for air. She felt hands touch her, she screamed and started fighting them off.
"Lizzie love"! She looked into Filip's eyes, he pulled her into his arms. "I've got you." She laid her head on his chest and sobbed. She pulled away from him, looking over the backyard, she turned to face him.
"I'm fine. Sorry, I didn't mean to lose control." He walked towards her, pulling her back into his arms.
"You have nothing to apologize for, my love." Tig stepped out onto the patio, looking at the two of them.
"Everything okay?"
"I'm fine." Truthfully she was terrified, that Jimmy would come back and finish what he started, she knew that he would kill Filip if he tried to stop him. Lizzie had no doubt in her that Filip wouldn't lay down his life, no matter the enemy to keep her safe. That's something she couldn't live with, she'd go with Jimmy to keep the man she loved alive and safe.
