It was a brutal wake up, ice cold water was poured over her head, she choked and coughed, her eyes fluttered opened. "Good, you're awake! I need you to answer some questions."

JC, stared at the man standing before her, she knew that she wouldn't answer any of his questions. "Go fuck yourself!" He raised his hands backhanding her across the face.

"Such language from a lady. I advise you to cooperate, and answer my questions, or I'll bring your precious daughter in here." She didn't let his words affect her, she knew they were lies. He didn't have Sarah, he was just trying to break her. "Tell me what you know about the Sons of Anarchy."

She let out a harsh laugh. "I don't know anything about them."

"Come now Ms. Winston. you're the daughter of a First 9 member, your brother was a member, until he was killed in jail. You're baby daddy and fiancee is a member. I think you know more then you think."

"If I did, I wouldn't tell you shit!" She was slapped again, her head snapped back.

"Let's see how eager you are to share, after my men work you over." The door opened, and three men walked into the room, she braced herself for whatever was to come.

She sat tied in her chair, battered and bruised. "Let's try this again. Tell me everything you know about SAMCRO!"

She smirked, raising her head. "When they come for me, and they will come for me, they will take great pleasure in killing you. Slowly, painfully, my old man will be first in line to make sure you suffer." He slapped her hard, her head snapped back, she lost consciousness.

Chibs sat in the clubhouse, pacing the room, they were going on lock down, since they had no idea who took Josey and Sarah. He looked up as Gemma came through the door holding his daughter, his heart stopped beating. He ran over taking his daughter from Gemma's arms, clutching her to his chest. "My little love!" Sarah patted her daddy's face, giggling at him.

"Chibs, what's going on?"

"Someone took Josey, I thought they had Sarah too." He broke down, thinking about the fight they'd had. He blamed himself for not being there to protect her.

"Baby, you know we're going to get her back. You keep that in your head, that in a few months you'll make her your wife." All he could do was nod his head, he carried his daughter back to his dorm room, keeping her close to him.

She hurt all over, at least she was lying on the floor, and not tied to a chair. Her eyes were swollen shut, she had to keep her ears opened, waiting for her chance to get away. In reality, she knew she wouldn't be able to go anywhere, they'd really done a number on her. She didn't even know if she could stand on her own, much less run, she was going to have to lay and wait for the damn cavalry showed up to rescue her.

The most she could do is lay there, listen, and collect intel for the club. The door opened, she didn't move a muscle, she hoped, that whoever it was would leave her alone. Her hope was shortly lived, when she was doused with a bucket of ice water, she pushed herself up, hissing in pain.

"Are you ready to talk Ms. Winston?"

"Go to hell!" She was punched, kicked, and slapped. "It must make you feel big and tough, three men, beating up on a little woman. And you calling the shots, can't even be bothered to dirty your hands."

"Make it easy on yourself, and just tell us what we want to know!"

"Fuck off!" The man in charge walked over to her, leaning down, he wrapped his hands around her throat, and started to squeeze.

"You need to learn some manners!" She could feel her air supply, starting to cut off, she didn't care at this point, she wouldn't back down or beg for her life. Not to these assholes. Before she could pass out, he released his hold on her, straightening up, he smiled down at her. "I'll be back later, to talk some more."

The door slammed shut, she lay on the floor shivering, she had to be strong and survive for Sarah and for Filip. She closed her eyes, trying to rest, and gain some energy.

Chibs laid Sarah down to sleep in his bed, covering her up with a blanket, he got one of the sweetbutts, that he trusted to sit in the room with her. He made his way out into the main room, sitting at the bar. Jax approached him, sitting a box in front of him. "This came for you, while you were putting Sarah down."

He opened the box quickly, finding a tablet, and a small leather pouch. He opened the pouch, dumping the content out onto the bar, Josey's engagement ring landed in front of him. He picked it up, letting out a strangled cry. "It's her engagement ring, she would never have taken this off voluntarily." He grabbed the tablet, turning it on, there was a video ready for him to watch. Pushing play, he watched three men beat his fiancee.

Then a third man strangle her, before the screen went black. The man came on the screen, smiling. "She has a mouth on her, it's going to get her killed, if it hasn't already. If you want her back, meet us with your gun contact, at the saw mill tomorrow. Hopefully, she'll still be alive."

The video went black, Chibs turned to Jax. "We have to get her back..."

'We will brother, there's no way we're letting that bastard get away with this. We're going to get her back and bring her home safely." Chibs took the engagement ring and pinned it to the inside of his kutt pocket. He would put it back on her finger, the first chance he got.

JC lay on the cold concrete floor, trying to gain her bearings, she heard the door open, her whole body tensed. She felt someone kneeling next to her. "My name is Tyler, I'm going to get you out of here." She was lifted of the floor, and was being carried out of the room, she laid her head on his chest, praying he was a friend of the club, and not an enemy.

She winced as gunshots were going off, Tyler was now running through the building. The sun hit her face, she was placed in a car, that took off the instant the door shut. "Where are you taking me?"

"Lodi, you'll be safe there." She had no idea where she was now. Lodi was Niner territory, she thought that there was a truce between the two clubs, but she wasn't sure. Things changed so fast, did she just change one hell for another? She curled up on the backseat, hoping that if she could escape this new hell if she needed to. After a twenty minute drive, the car stopped, she was picked up from the backseat, and carried into a large house.

The man carrying her introduced himself as Gregg. "No one is going to hurt you JC." She was laid down on a soft bed, two woman came in, helping her put on clean dry clothes. She curled up under the blankets, and fell asleep. Several hours later she woke up, Gregg had brought a doctor in to exam her.

"Can I please call my family?" She knew Filip would be worried about her, she needed to let him know she was safe.

Gregg looked down at her, smiling. "You can't right now, I promise you, I'll let you call later." She laid back down on the pillows feeling defeated. She really wanted to talk to him, she needed to hear his voice. She let the tears roll down her cheeks, missing her finance and daughter.

Chibs paced the saw mill lot, he watched as a black SUV pulled in, it took all he had not to pull out his gun, and start shooting. He recognized the men that had beat Josey, and the man that had tried to strangle her. They walked up to him and Jax, Josey wasn't with them. "Where is she?" Chibs asked through clinched teeth.

"Did you really think, we'd bring her with us?" Chibs lunged for him, Jax held him back. Signaling towards the van, the door was opened, Happy and Tig, pulled the Irish gun contact out, making the introductions.

"We held up our end of the deal! Where is she?" Jax asked.

"She's probably dead, I let rival gang have her. She was too much trouble for me!" Chibs couldn't take it anymore, he rushed the man, tackling him to the ground. Beating the shit out of him, he pulled his gun, pointing it to his head.

"Where is my fiancee?"

Moses smiled at him. "You're not going to want her back, when their done with her. Pretty little thing like that...I bet she's being passed around even as we speak!" Chibs stood up, and put a bullet in his head. Happy, Tig, and Jax took care of the other men, they loaded them up in the vans, to bury them in Chigger woods.

They were back at square one, trying to find her, Chibs put his hand over his heart, where her engagement ring was pinned. He was going to find her and bring her home, no matter what it took.

JC woke up feeling disorientated, she wasn't exactly sure where she was. She had to admit, the king sized bed she was in, was an improvement, she was trying to remember how she got here. The last thing she remembered was lying on a cold concrete floor, someone picking her up, and carrying her to a car. Pushing herself up, she tried to sit up, she wanted to get home to Filip.

The door opened, her eyes cut to the doorway. "Hey, what are you doing? You need to rest, doctor's orders."

"I want to go home, to my family. Please let me call them, they'll come get me." She was begging him, to let her call Filip.

"I'm sorry, you have to wait a few more days." Gregg smiled at her. "Just relax JC, you'll be safe here. Someone will bring you breakfast." He left the room, she fell back against the pillows. She wondered if she'd ever get home to her family, she curled up under the blankets trying not to cry. The door opened again, and a young woman came in carrying a tray of food.

"My name is Katina." The woman set the tray of food on the bed. "After you eat, I'll help you get cleaned up."

"Thank you Katina." She picked at her food, trying to figure out how to get out of this. She really was hungry, she picked up her fork, and finished her food. If she was going to get out of her, she'd need her strength to escape. Katina came back into the room, helping her into the bathroom, the woman helped JC undress and get into the shower.

She felt better after she was cleaned up, Katina helped her back to bed. She was settled back into bed, leaning back against the pillows she started to formulate a plan to go home.

"We have JC's picture out to all our charter's, Alvarez is getting the word out and I've got a call out to Tyler. We're going to find her." Jax sat back in his chair, looking around the table at his brothers.

Chibs listened to what Jax was saying, it had been three days since Josey had been taken. He was out of his mind that he'd never see her again. There was a knock on the chapel door, a prospect popped his head in. "Tyler's on the phone for you Jax." Chibs and Jax both got up from the table, going out to the bar, Jax put the phone on speaker.

"Tyler, I need a favor. I need you to put eyes out for JC."

"Isn't she at the clubhouse? I got her away from Moses and his men. Sent her with one of mine, he was suppose to take her straight to your clubhouse."

"She never got here. Who did you send her with?"

"I'll check it out, and get back to you. I'll get to the bottom of this." Jax ended the call, looking at Chibs.

"We're going to find her."

August Marks walked into the bedroom, looking down at JC sleeping in bed, smiling, if the Sons wanted her back, they'd have to pay for her.
