…Chapter 10…

Alyssa blinked her eyes, then looked over at the alarm clock, and read '7:30am.' She also noticed, she wasn't in Jax's room anymore. As she stretched, she bumped into something hard, and saw Kozik asleep. "Oh, shit." she muttered, lifting up the sheet. "Oh, thank God." she let out a breath of relief, seeing that her clothes were still on.

Alyssa carefully got out of the bed, grabbed her cell phone, and walked out, then she saw Juice at the bar, on his laptop. "What are you doing up so early?" Juice laughed. "Don't you need your beauty sleep?"

"Sometimes." she sat down next to him. "But I could ask you the same question, Mister."

"I just woke up." he shrugged.

"Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"What's up?"

"I need you to look up someone for me."

"Okay, who?"

"His name is Jared Dawson."

"Alright, who is he?"

"He's just someone that I wanna know about."

Juice gave her a funny look. "Okay, then."

"One more thing… can you keep this between us?"

"Uh, sure." he nodded. "Can I ask why?"

Alyssa shrugged. "It's nothing to worry about, but could you please?"

"Yeah." he said, looking unsure.

"Thanks, Buddy."

"Uh-huh." he started typing on the keyboard. "This will take a minute." Alyssa nodded, then five minutes later, he smacked her arm. "Okay, I found something."

"Okay, what is it?"

"It says… Jared Charles Dawson, born - March 27, 1980 at 12:36 in the morning, doesn't say where, but his adoptive parents are Michael and Emma Dawson. He graduated from Harvard with honors in 2004, he lives in Manhattan, New York. He's a single father to a four year old boy named Riley Dawson. Jared's fiancee' Amy, died as she was giving birth." Juice paused. "He's had a few parking tickets and that's pretty much it." he looked over at Alyssa and saw the weird look on her face. "Aly?" he got no response, so he nudged her. "Aly!"

She snapped out of her daze. "Huh? What?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah." she jumped off the bar stool. "Can you send all of that to my email? I gotta get back to LA."

"Wait, what?" Juice wasn't sure he heard her right, but she was already gone.


After Alyssa got all of her stuff together, she walked over to the office. As she walked in, Gemma looked up. "Good morning, Baby, what's up?"

"Can I borrow your car for a few days?"

"Sure." Gemma tossed the keys. "Everything okay?"

"Yep, there's just a few things I need to take care of." she smiled. "Thanks, Godmother." Gemma nodded, then Alyssa walked out, grabbed her stuff, and put it in the trunk. After that, she quietly walked into Kozik's room to grab her purse.

Before she could walked out, she heard "Hey."

"Hi." she slowly turned around.

"What are you doing?"

"I, uh, have to run some errands."

Kozik sat up. "I'll go with you."

"No, it's okay… I'll go by myself."

"This wouldn't have anything to do with Dean, does it?"

"What are you talking about?"

Kozik stood up and crossed his arms over his chest as he stood in front of her. "He called your phone last night looking for you… you wanna tell me about this secret that both of you have?"

"There's no secret."

"You're a bad liar, Aly." he paused. "Now, tell me what the fuck is going on."

"Nothing is going on."

"Bullshit."

Alyssa groaned. "I don't feel like fighting and arguing with you, I have shit to do."

"No, first, you're gonna tell me why you're talking to Dean."

"Don't worry about it."

SMACK!

Alyssa's jaw dropped as she put her hand to her cheek, wincing in pain. She couldn't believe Kozik would ever hit her. As Alyssa's eyes were welling up with tears, Kozik groaned. "I'm sorry, Aly." he tried reaching out to her, but she backed away from him. "Come on, Aly, I'm sorry."

"Don't fucking touch me."

"I said I was sorry… I mean, you told me not to worry about it and Dean said the same thing. It's just annoying that you're keeping something from me."

Alyssa slowly shook her head. "I gotta go."

"Aly… " he grabbed her arm.

"NO!" she yelled, then punched Kozik in the face as hard as she could. "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" then she quickly walked out.

"Hey, Aly… wait."

"I'll call you later, Juice." she said, to him before walking out of the clubhouse.

Kozik ran out of his room. "Aly!" he glanced at Juice. "Where'd she go?"

"Outside." he pointed towards the door.

"Shit." he ran out as Alyssa backed up in Gemma's Cadillac and drove off, out of the lot. "FUCK!" he punched the wooden pole next to him. "SHIT!" A few minutes later, he walked back in the clubhouse. "Juice, did Aly tell you where she was going?"

"What happened to your hand… and your face?" he gave Kozik a funny look. "And why was Aly screaming?"

"Just answer the question."

"I can't… she told me not to tell."

"JUST TELL ME!"

"Alright, alright." Juice put up his arms in defeat. "Aly said that she was going back to LA."

"Why?"

"Whatever it is, I think it has to do with Jared Dawson."

"Who's that?"

"Well, she wanted to know what he was about and I found out something weird about him, he has the same birthday as Aly."

"Okay, so? Lots of people have the same birthdays."

"Right, but how many people have the same birthday, with the same year, that was born within minutes of each other? But in this case, they're five minutes apart, and he was given up for adoption."

"You've lost me, Juice… what are you trying to say?"

"I think that, this Jared guy is her twin brother."

"What? No way."

"I didn't show Aly, but I found a recent picture of him, and the more I look at it, the more I think it's true." Juice moved the screen in front of Kozik. "Aly and Jared look a lot alike."

"Shit, they do… so this was her big secret?" he shook his head. "But how does Dean fit into all of this?" he groaned, running his fingers through his hair. "I have to go to LA, she might need me."

"Um, you might want to get that hand taken care of first."

"You're right." he started walking towards the door. "Thanks, Man."

"Yeah, no problem." Juice muttered. "Aly will kill me, but no problem."

Kozik barged into the office and said "Gem, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Yeah, what's up." she looked up at him. "What happened to your face?"

"Oh, it's nothing." he waved his arm.

"And your hand? Was that nothing too?"

"I hit a pole."

"That was you screaming outside?"

"Yeah." he nodded. "Look, I'm gonna be gone for a few days."

"Why?"

"Aly's on her way to LA."

"Why?"

"Okay, you were Leslie's B-F-F and everything, before she took off… but what do you know about a Jared Dawson?"

Gemma took her glasses off and crossed her arms over her chest. "How do you know that name, Kozik?"

"Aly had Juice look him up and he found everything on him."

"Shit." Gemma groaned. "I knew this would come up, sooner or later… shut the door." Kozik nodded and shut the door behind him.


Leah walked up to the bar, with Happy behind her. "Hey, Juice."

"Hey." he said, not looking away from the screen.

"Have you seen Aly? She wasn't in Jax's room and her stuff is gone."

"Apparently, she's on her way to LA."

"Already? She didn't even say goodbye." Leah pouted.

"Well, it was a spur of the moment type of thing."

"What do you mean?" Happy asked, sitting on the bar stool, pulling Leah on his lap.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that."

Happy glared. "Spit it out."

"God, Aly's gonna kill me twice." Juice sighed, shaking his head. "Okay, I don't know how all of this came about, but she asked me to look up some information on this guy named Jared Dawson, and to make a long story short." he turned the screen towards them. "It's a very good chance that this guy is Aly's twin brother."

"No fucking way." Leah said, with her eyes wide. "How?"

"Well, not only do they have the same birthday, but they were born five minutes apart, and he was put up for an adoption."

"That could be a coincidence."

"I don't think so, Hap… I mean, look at this guy, he has the same features as Aly, and he looks oddly familiar, like, I've seen him before."

"Wow." Leah slightly shook her head. "I can't believe this… I think that's what she was gonna tell me last night, but I was so excited to tell her about my news, she told me, whatever it was, wasn't important."

"What's your news?" Juice asked, raising his eyebrow.

"I've decided to stay in Charming."

"Yep." Happy wrapped his arms around Leah. "And that means, she's all mine."

"Yeah." Juice turned the screen back in front of him. "Congrats."
