Lucto et Emergo
A/N I do not own any of the SOA Characters, only the O.C's are mine.
Juice had been walking down the road for what felt like hours when he heard the sound of a bike. At first he wondered if it was the Calaveras but then he realised there would have been more than one bike. As the sound of the bike got closer he turned to see that it was indeed a single biker. As it came across from where he was standing, it stopped and the rider turned off the engine.
"Long way from home...Want a lift Juice?"
The voice was muffled by the full face helmet that was covering the riders face but it sounded familliar. Juice was unsure for a moment, as a moment of panic overtook him. As he was trying to decide what to do, the sound of more bikes was heard and coming in view down the road was three more bikers, bearing Calavera Patches. The one on the bike turned and looked in thier direction and then swung their head back in Juice's direction.
"GET ON," the biker shouted at Juice.
"THEY'LL BE HERE IN A MOMENT AND WE WILL BOTH BE DONE FOR."
The sight of the other bikers bearing down on them was enough to decide things for Juice, that and the fact that the other rider had pushed their visor up and Juice able to see thier eyes, a beautiful shade of green that he knew only too well. He hopped on the back of the bike and held on as the bike took off at full speed away from their pursuers.
Back at the SONS Clubhouse Happy and Chibs were getting ready to go out and look for Juice, they were not too sure where to start first but thought both thought that Juice's apartment might be a good bet. As they were both walked out of the door they heard the sound of a car pulling into the lot and saw that it was a sherriffs cruiser, an officer got out and approached them.
"Is Jaun Carlos Ortiz here?"
"Why?" Happy asked.
"IS HE HERE OR NOT?"
The officer was not happy to be here at TM on his own and the sight of at least one SON who he knew was a cold stone killer was not doing much for his disposition or his temper as the guy was being clearly obstructive in his view and obstructing him in the course of his duty.
Chibs could see that the officer was not going to answer Happy's question.
"No he's not here laddie?...Can we help you with anything?"
"No matter, I'll be back later for him."
Without another word to either Chibs or Happy the officer walked back to his car and got in. Leaving both Happy and Chibs staring after him in puzzlement, at both his questions about Juice's whereabouts and behaviour. Whatever it was that he wanted with Juice it did not sound very friendly and they both wondered what was going on.
At the hospital Tara had just come out of surgery when she was approached by the sheriff enquiring about the health of her patient.
"How is he?"
"We've removed the glass and stopped the bleeding but he will have a long recovery time."
"Can I talk to him?"
"The patient is still unconsciouse Sherriff, he has not yet come round from the surgery and I'm not sure when he will."
The sheriff was not happy to hear this, he really needed to speak to the young man who had been found bleeding by the side of the highway earlier that day. His injuries had been severe due mainly to the jagged neck of a bottle that was protuding from the lads arse. However just prior to passing out from the loss of blood he had told the officer who had found him who his attacker had been. He had been surprised that the lad had told his officer, he knew the kid was one of the prospects for the SONS.
"I'll be back later to talk to him Doctor."
The sheriff nodded at Tara and left to deal with other matters but as he got into his cruiser he got on to his radio and gave orders to his men to pick up and detain the lads attacker, One Jaun Carlos 'Juice' Ortiz!
A thought pleased him at last he would be getting rid of one of the SONS, the nature of the attack meant that as soon as they picked Ortiz up he woud be straight on his way back to Stockton Penitentary.
Before Chibs and Happy had left to go in search of thier missing friend they had gone and seen Clay and told him of the officers strange behaviour. He had seemed concerned by this but thought that it was the sheriffs department trying to mess with thier minds. He therefore for the moment dismissed it and told them that they would deal with whatever the problem was later on but first off they had to find Juice before he did something stupid.
Rosen had just got in touch with him to tell him that Stahl had been suspended form work and was being brought up on charges. So they needed Juice back so that he could give evidence against her at her hearing. He had assured Clay that Juice wouldn't have to take the stand but it looked as though in order for the charges against Stahl to stick then Juice would have to get in the witness box and give evidence. Telling those in the hearing everything that was done to him on that bitches' orders. Clay wasn't sure if the kid was strong enough to do that.
A/N Sorry its a small chapter but I'm doing another part to this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think, especially if you think you know who the lone biker who picked Juice up is. It will be interesting to see who you think it is.
