Jax's P.O.V

As he laid there on the concrete he couldn't help but keep a grin on his face. He knew the feds had nothing on them and they were basically blowing smoke up there asses. He looked up at Hale who seemed a bit distracted at something on the street, He had a look of anger on his face. Just as he was about to say something a blonde woman with an ATF badge walked out from the clubhouse behind them.

"Get them up." Was all she said and he felt hands on his arms pulling him to his feet. She stared at all the members.

Clay was the first to speak up. "Mind telling us what it is you're looking for?"

"We have reason to believe that the Sons of Anarchy is involved in the distribution and selling of guns." She said looking at Clay.

A smile came across his face. "I don't know where you're getting your information but we are just a bunch of mechanics and motorcycle enthusiast."

A few of the other members had grins on their faces. The woman smiled. "I'm sure." She looked at Hale and then at Clay. "You are all free to go." She then turned and headed back towards her car.

Jax looked at Hale as they uncuffed him. "Since when did you become ATFs bitch?"

Hale looked at him with the same angered look he had before. "Since you and your band of thugs decided it was a good idea to sell guns."

"Don't act like you beef with me has anything to do with this club."

Hale walked up to him and the two men were face to face. "Stay away from Tara, she's not yours anymore. She doesn't care about you."

As Hale said those words anger began to boil within him, he clenched his fist. "You should ask her what she was really doing here yesterday." He began to regret his words as he said them but the look on Hales face was something he didn't regret. He smirked and went to turn away from him and as he did Hales fist connected with his jaw, knocking him backwards.

He stumbled to get his balance and then charged at Hale, punching him in the cheek. Hale then tackled Jax to the ground and got him once in his side as Jax elbowed him in the back of the head. The other officers quickly grabbed Hale off of Jax but not before Jax got in one last punch to the face. He quickly got up from the ground and was about to go after Hale again but his brothers held him back.

"Arrest him! For assaulting a police officer." Hale yelled at one of the officers that was holding him back. He touched his cheek and looked at the blood on his fingers. The younger woman walked up to Jax pulling out her handcuffs and cuffing him. "Sorry." She said quietly to him and walked him over to her squad car.

"This is bullshit." Opie said to Hale walking up to him. Hale just looked at him and then walked off towards his car.

Jax sat in the holding room of the police station, drumming his fingers slightly against the table. The door opened and the ATF woman from earlier and Unser walk in.

"Are there any charges?" Jax asked.

"No charges." Unser said from behind the woman.

She looked at Jax and smiled slightly. "I don't think we've been formally introduced I'm agent June Stahl." She sat down in the empty chair to the side of Jax. "Your club and a few officers say Hale hit you first so were ruling it self-defense."

"Good." Jax said and went to stand up.

"Why does Hale have it out for you?" Agent Stahl asked, curious.

Jax saw back down and looked at her. "I think you know why."

She smiled slightly again and nodded. "Tara Knowles. You two were high school sweethearts right?"

"Yeah." He said blankly.

"I met her today, beautiful woman. I see what you two see in her. Must be hard to see the woman you love about to be married to someone else."

Jax really didn't want to talk about Tara with this bitch. He just stared at her with a blank expression. "You done?"

She nodded. "You're free to go Mr. Teller." Jax got up quickly and walked out of the room, his eyes immediately fell on Tara who was putting a bandage on Hales face. He shook his head and walked towards the exit before she noticed him.

Tara's P.O.V

"This was really idiotic of both of you." She said to David as she finished putting on the bandage. She checked the slight bruise on his hand and then looked up in to his face. Hale wasn't looking at her. "You gonna tell me what happened?"

Tara could tell he was still mad, his eyes quickly shot to hers. "I was going to ask you that."

"What are you talking about?"

"Teller told me to ask you what you were really doing there yesterday."

She closed her eyes and looked down. I can't believe he would say that she thought to herself but she shouldn't be surprised, Jax would say just about anything to get under David's skin. She looked back up at him.

"I told you what hap-."

"Don't give me that bullshit." He said raising his voice. Tara looked around at the people in the building who were looking over at them.

"Can we not do this here?" She said and then he got up and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards his office and slamming the door behind him. He walked over to his desk and turned, leaning against it and looked at her waiting for her to say something.

"So what happened? Did you fuck him?" He blurted out with anger in his voice.

"What? God no." That almost happened. She sighed knowing she would have to tell him the truth, well at least some of it. "We kissed. But that's all that happened. I went there to make sure he was alright and it just happened."

Hale looked down at the floor closing his eyes, a part of him knew she was lying. He knew coming back here would be a mistake and now he's regretting ever doing it. He knew that she still cared for Jax, but maybe it more than that and he just never noticed. "I should have listened to you about not coming back here."

Tara remained quiet.

Hale finally looked up at her. "Do you love me?"

"Of course I do."

"Do you still love him?"

His words shocked her, she wasn't expecting him to ask her that. The same question Jax had asked her and it was one she couldn't stop thinking about and she knew the answer. Yes.

Before she could say anything Hale spoke. "I don't think you ever got over him. I know he was a big part of your life, hell you have his tattoo on your back." He shook his head as if he was trying not to think about it. "But you need to choose because I can't marry you if I can't trust you." He then stood and walked past her, out of the room.

Tara closed her eyes as a tear slid down her cheek.
