I wanna go home! A child's voice, desperate and scared rang through her mind and she took off, running towards it as fast as she could. She could hear Happy behind her trying to keep up, his oaths and thrashing trailing behind her. She broke into a clearing and stopped short almost causing Happy to crash into her.
"Sky what the-!" Sky slammed her hand across his mouth and shushed him.
"There's a little boy in that cabin that's been kidnapped. We need to get him out of here now!"
Happy didn't ask questions, for which she was grateful, he pulled his gun from the back of his pants and hurried forward, looking through the window and waving Sky forward. As soon as she reached him he pushed her up against the cabin wall, "Stay here!" He demanded and turned the corner and disappeared into the darkness.
Happy crept around the cabin, keeping low in the shadows and keeping his eyes moving. His catlike grace made him disappear in the shadows and he found himself at the front door of the cabin and peeking through a window. Nothing inside moved. It looked to him like no one was home but he was still cautious. He turned the handle slowly, surprised to find it unlocked, and carefully crept inside. As he was shutting the door it suddenly opened and he turned, taking aim before abruptly stopping.
"Sky are you out of your fucking mind?" Happy was livid. He could have killed her!
"No one's here but the boy, but they'll be back soon." She moved to a closed door, "He's in there."
Happy rose and tried the door. "Locked." He backed up a step and threw his shoulder into the door once, twice, and on the third hit the door swung inwards revealing a young Mexican boy tied up to a bed frame. He screamed when he saw Happy, tears flowing down his scratched and bruised face.
"Oh honey!" Skyler ran forward and fell to her knees in front of him, "Shhh, shhh, we're here to help you. We're here to take you home, but I need you to be quiet so the men who took you don't find us okay?" She was frantically tearing at the ropes tying him to the bed, "Hap do you have your knife?"
Happy quickly unsheathed his blade and handed it to her, keeping a close eye on the windows and the front door. Skyler hacked the ropes in several fast, efficient strokes, removing the threads quickly and rubbing the raw flesh of the boys' wrists to help bring back circulation. Tears ran down the boys' cheeks and he lunged forward, nearly toppling Sky as he wrapped his arms around her and sobbed into her neck. Sky looked up at Happy with tears in her eyes and he felt rage build up inside of him. He never wanted to see this woman cry again.
"Come on, we have to get moving." Happy said, checking through the window once again. He pulled his prepay out of his pocket and sent a text to Jax letting him know what was going on. He had a feeling that rescuing this boy was going to bring hell down on the club and he wanted to give them as much of a heads up as he could. Sky stood shakily, lifting the boy with obvious effort and sobbing out loud when the boy cried out in pain and passed out.
"Oh God Hap!" Skyler's face was pale and sweat beaded on her forehead. "They raped him! Oh!" She whimpered and he saw her eyes become unfocused.
He crossed to her and grabbed her chin roughly, "Don't. Don't do that to yourself Sky, and don't let whatever the fuck makes you see things like that do it to you. We need to get out of here and I need you to help me do it. Can you tell me where they are?"
Her eyes snapped to his and he could see the determination kick in. She closed her eyes and adjusted the boy, breathing deeply, and wrinkling her brow in concentration. "They're white. They have swastikas on their chest." She paused and her face scrunched up more, "They're in a car, in a town. They're heading back here to kill the boy." Her eyes opened and met his, "We have ten minutes tops."
"Good girl." He took the boy from her and handed her his gun, "Can you use this?"
She nodded confidently, "For what they did to that boy, they deserve to die." Her voice was strangely melodic but he didn't have time to figure out why, he needed to get them both out of here.
"Good. Keep thinking that way." He moved quickly out of the room and Sky followed him silently, holding the gun down and moving fast. His prepay rang and he handed it to Sky since he had his hands full with the boy. "Answer it."
Sky took it without hesitation. "Hello?"
There was a pause, then, "Sky?" It was Jax.
"Yeah, Hap's carrying the boy right now."
"Are you guys ok?"
"For now yes but we need to get the little boy to a doctor."
"No hospitals. Bring him back to the clubhouse I'll get Tara here to check him out. We need to keep him somewhere we know he'll be safe until we figure out how they got him and who his parents are." Jax sounded calm but she could feel his tension through the phone. Her and Happy were moving quickly through the woods and she could just see the road ahead of them.
A vision blind sighted her and made her stumble. "Hap, they're going to see us! This is the only road to the cabin!"
"Shit." Happy stopped and looked around him as if searching for an answer. "Tell Jax we need an escort. We need to get on the bike and get moving, if we can stay ahead of them until we meet up with the boys we'll be fine."
Sky nodded, "Did you hear that Jax?"
"We're heading out now." He assured and hung up.
She closed the phone and passed it back to Happy and followed him out to his bike. "Three minutes." She said as he set the boy on the ground and opened his saddlebags. He pulled two Kevlar vests out and handed one to Sky before wrapping the other around the unconscious boy. Sky silently slipped into the vest and straddled the bike. Happy handed the boy to her before climbing on himself and starting the bike.
Skyler was scared. More scared than she'd ever been in her life. She wrapped her arms around Happy's waist, sandwiching the boy between them and holding tight. She counted down the seconds and when a pair of headlights came into view she knew without a doubt who was driving, "That's them!" She yelled over the roar of the bike. She felt a fine tension grow in him as he nodded to let her know he heard her and together they watched the truck approach. Sky closed her eyes when they passed by but when she heard the squeal of tires her eyes popped open, "Go Hap!" she screamed and Happy revved the bike, taking off with a squeal of tires and a cloud of dust.
She glanced behind her and relaxed a little, realizing the truck wasn't getting closer but it wasn't getting farther either. Their truck was old and not well taken care of, they wouldn't be able to take them over but neither would they willingly leave. She was scanning the road hopefully for the rest of the Sons when the first shot rang out. A tree trunk on their left exploded and splinters rained down on them. Sky leaned as close to the boy as possible to shield him without letting go of Happy.
"Hold on!" He yelled and started to zig zag across the road, presenting a much harder target to predict. Several shots rang out but none were as close to them as the first one. It seemed like a thousand years before Sky spotted several headlights ahead of them and the roar of motorcycles. Happy flashed his lights and she saw them flip around and as they passed they fell into formation around them. She saw Jax on her right and Clay on her left and relaxed when she turned and saw the truck backing down.
She lost sight of the truck as they entered Charming and almost sobbed in relief when she saw Teller Morrow knowing that it was almost over. As soon as Happy stopped the motorcycle she was off and carrying the boy towards the clubhouse, meeting up with Tara and handing him off on the way. She followed behind her and watched as she set the boy on the hardwood table but as the men entered she found herself herded out of the room and the doors closed in her face.
"What the fuck?" She looked around her in confusion.
"It's club business." The prospect Half Sack said with a shrug.
Sky took a deep breath and turned on her heel, heading back to Happy's room and slamming the door closed, turning the lock before she let the night catch up with her. She leaned back against the door and slowly slid down, hugging her knees to her chest and letting the sobs wrack her body.

"How is he?" Happy asked quietly, watching Tara work.
"He'll live. He's definitely going to need some therapy when all is said and done. I've never seen anything more disgusting than what they did to him." She shook her head, "Poor baby."
"Hey, isn't that Alverez's youngest son?" Juice piped up from the back and everyone froze.
"Fuck!" Clay slammed his fist into the table and startled the boy awake. He took one look around and started screaming at the top of his lungs and struggling frantically. "Shit, calm him down!" He yelled as Chibs and Tig grabbed the boy and pinned him to hold him still for Tara.
"I'll go get Sky!" Happy said and ducked out of the room. Half Sack pointed down the hall and he raced to his room, going to open it and stopping dead when he found it locked. "Skyler! Open this fucking door!"
"Why? What can I do? I'm not a member right?" He could hear the hurt in her voice and he sighed tiredly.
"Babe, the boys awake and he's terrified. We can talk about the other shit later but right now he needs you." There was a moment of silence and then the door opened to reveal her tearstained face.
"I'm still mad as hell." She said shakily.
"I know." He stepped aside and she walked out past him and hurried to the scared little boy waiting for her.
