Today was the day of my release from the hospital. Tara had given me a clean bill of health as long as I kept away from the physical labor at the farm and took the medication prescribed. But, as I stood beside the open window to the hospital room those thoughts were far from my mind. Instead worry consumed me.

(Flashback)

My body felt like lead on a hard surface and every part of my body was stiff. But, that wasn't what woke me up from what had felt like a thousand-year sleep. No, it started with something squeezing my hand followed shortly by a sweet pressure on my lips. As I awoke my senses did to, I could smell a familiar cologne and cigarette smoke. I quickly realized that the pressure on my lips was coming from someone else's. My lips seemed to mold with theirs and just as my eyes flickered open their lips pulled away. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" an angry voice echoed in the room

The grip on my hand tightened before it released it. My eyes searched the room I was in, trying to adjust my eyes to the bright light in the room. All I could see was white and I was having troubles trying to move my head to look around the room. Silence still echoed in the room until the same angry voice spoke again, "She is mine! What do you think you're doing taking advantage of her in her current state!"

"I'm not taking advantage of anything, even if she was awake she wouldn't deny me that kiss." Another voice in the room growled

I used all the effort I could to face the voices in the room. Tig stood beside the bed I was laying in and at the entrance to the room stood Derek, Gemma and Tara. "You're the one that put her in that state!" Derek pointed his finger at him

The constant yelling was starting to get on my nerves, "S-sh-shut...up." I whispered

All eyes in the room turned towards me and everyone acted fast. Derek shoved Tig away from me and came straight towards me, Gemma went across the room to gather some water and Tara left the room calling for a nurse. My eyes though were trained on Tig who had moved to the door. He looked relieved but, also hurt as he observed the scene in front of him.

(End of Flashback)

I hadn't seen Tig at all since then. He had sent me flowers and chocolates and cards but, all I truly wanted to do was see him. Gemma had been by my side since I arrived here and so had Derek. I knew though that after what Derek had witnessed he would no longer leave me alone, let alone see him again. That thought hurt, even though Gemma kept me updated on all the men it would never matter if I could never see him again. Something had happened with my father and he had called me this morning to go see him. So both me and Gemma had decided we would go and see him together. "You okay baby?" Gemma voice called out to me from the entrance.

My eyes looked into her face from the reflection of the window glass. She looked stunning as always and I couldn't help but, smile at her. She had been hovering over me ever since I was admitted. She wouldn't even leave if Derek asked, partially from what had happened at the wedding. My fingers tapped the ledge and I turned to face her, "Of course, I'm always ready to see my dad."

I grabbed the last of my get well presents and walked with Gemma down to her car. It was a quiet drive as we left to see my dad. "How long has it been since you've seen your dad?" Gemma asked to break the silence

"Since I went to him for advice on the family." I replied while I watched the scenery out the window

Gemma nodded her head, "What do you think he wants to talk to me about?" I asked

"I'm not sure baby, the only way to find out is to go see him."

Gemma knew how hard these visits could be on not only me but my father. So she didn't push for the conversation. It wasn't until we pulled into the parking lot that Gemma's hand encircled mine and she squeezed it for comfort. "Remember I'll be right beside you."

I squeezed her hand back and then stepped out of her vehicle. With a deep breath, I took a step towards the god forsaken place that with held my father from me. Both mine and Gemma's heels clicked across the flooring and we sat down at the table waiting for my father to come to us. The sound of metal clanging meant an inmate was coming through the door, this inmate was my father. He was wheeled over to us in a wheelchair with a blue coat but, that wasn't what I was focused on, no he had bandages around his wrist. My dad wouldn't look at me as he sat down at the table but, I could still see the shame in his eyes as he sat down. He looked up then to face me and Gemma and I could see so much in his hazel eyes. So much pain, anguish and hurt, it broke my heart. Gemma was the first to speak, "Jesus Otto, what the hell happened?"

"A means to an end." My father had said deflated

"Dad." I mumbled under my breathe, choking back the tears that were threatening to spill

My dad looked over to me as if he was only just seeing me and he looked down at his wrists. Gemma reached across the table and grabbed his hands in her own. "Sorry sweetheart." Gemma said comfortingly

I cleared my throat and whispered, "What did you need to tell me dad?"

He took in a deep breath and looked more at Gemma then at me. "Your mother, you got to know something...the both of ya. This sheriff paid me a visit, his office took over the homicide. Found semen on Luann...Bobby's."

My eyes grew at least two sizes at this information, my mother was having an affair with Bobby! "Are you serious? Bobby?" Gemma asked just as shocked as I was

My father just sat there and stared back at us, his eyes only giving me a fleeting glance. "This new sheriff has been riding us, he's not-"Gemma tried to stick up for Bobby

"I saw the report. DNA is legit. So were the stats, the last guy tapping a bitch normally the one that killed her." My father said with hate in his voice

"Bobby didn't kill Luann." Gemma said defensively pulling her hands away from my dads

"What difference does it make, he still fucked her." I hissed under my breath

Both their eyes turned to me, "What it's the truth ain't it?"

"Someone did." My dad told us drawing our attention back to him

Gemma looked lost for words for once as her mouth opened and closed a few times. "I don't know what you want me to do." She said finally

My father reached across the table taking both our hands in his, "I want you to ask Clay a question. What would it feel like to loose the one you loved the most? You tell the club, you tell the guy that was bedding my wife, they need to find the scumbag that killed her." My dad said with no room for argument

Gemma could only nod her head and she kissed his hand and stood up to leave. I took the moment to spend alone with him before I followed after her. My dad waited for Gemma to be out of ear shot before his grip tightened on my hands. "I know that look in your eye star, promise me you wont do anything."

I bite my lip, how could he tell me this and expect me to sit back and do nothing. "Let the club do what it will but, if you out Bobby now the club wont be able to fully focus on finding your mothers killer."

A tear slipped down my cheek, "I just can't believe Bobby would do such a thing let alone that mom would have let him."

"She was lonely-"

I clenched my fist and shut my eyes tight, "No, don't do that! Don't make excuses for her, if she loved you she would have never touch another man! How can you be okay with this?"

"God dammit Victoria I'm not happy or okay about this, when the sheriff told me about what happened it tore my heart out. The betrayal I felt in that moment was horrible but, what can I do. She isn't here anymore, there is no point in being mad at someone who is not here anymore." He lectured me, his voice reaching a hard low tone

My bottom lip trembled and the tears started to come faster. My dad leaned his head against mine in an attempt at some compassion. "Shh, shh. I'm sorry I didn't mean to get mad at you, this is hard on me to. But, we gotta stick together until the end right?"

I nodded my head trying to get a hold of myself. His lips gently pressed against my forehead and after a minute he pulled away completely from me. "Gemma is waiting for you star."

I sniffled slightly and gave him a soft look before I stood up and followed after Gemma. The ride back was silent, or at least on my part. Gemma kept trying to talk to me but, I refused to even look her way. The only thought on my mind was Bobby and how he could do this to my father. The man that went to prison for life for this god forsaken club. It would be one thing if my mother was boning some guy completely unrelated to the club but, someone who was in the club let alone a fellow close member just fueled my rage. The moment that Gemma pulled into the parking lot, I jumped out of the vehicle. She tried to grab me but, I just wanted to go home. I walked straight to my car pulling out my keys as I went. It wasn't until I was halfway there that I saw Bobby sitting on his bike having a smoke. Every bone in my body was telling me to go running over there and punch him. Yell at him for what he did but, my dads words rung through my head. So, I settled for a simple glare and got in my car, driving straight to the farm.

~~SOA~~

I had chosen to stay home away from club since the visit with my father. Tara, Jax and Gemma would come to visit and as pleasant as I would try to be, the recent news I had learned about soured my mood. Derek had been coming home early from work to take care of the farm while I did light cleaning and cooking around the house. It was night the next day when a knock came to my door. Derek gave me a light kiss on the cheek as he went to answer the door. A sigh escaped my lips and I looked around me as I finished the dishes. When I didn't hear anyone come into the house or Derek come back my curiosity peaked. I grabbed a dish towel drying off my hands and I walked to the front door. At the door was the one man I wasn't prepared to see, Bobby. He gave me a tight smile and when I looked behind him I noticed a few bikes parked waiting. I put my anger to the side for the moment and asked, "What's going on?"

Bobby looked behind him then back at me. "Can I talk to you outside."

I looked hesitantly to Derek who eyes were focused on the bikes that were parked, looking for Tig was my guess. "You have one minute and it better be good." I said sharply

The way my voice had come out even caused Derek to look back at me confused but, Bobby knew that I knew and expected the harsh response. I stepped past Derek pulling the door shut and took a few steps down to the ground in front of my house so we would have some sort of private discussion. "Listen Vi-" Bobby started to speak

But I couldn't control my anger anymore and I slapped him hard across the face. His face twisted to the side and he grimaced slightly, "I deserved that." He spoke first

"Damn right you did." I hissed and crossed my arms over my chest

He let a small bit of silence fall between us before he spoke up, "Listen, I know how angry you are at what your mother and I did and you are right. It was wrong but, right now I need you to put that aside and help us with Caruso."

My eyebrows knitted together. "What does that slim bag want now."

"He is trying to put-"

"I know about the movie; he has bombed my phone for the last month. What does that have to do with anything?"

"We want you to agree to the movie and meet up with him. We will be there but, without you we will have issues bringing him out."

"Why wont he go with Lyla or one of the other blonde bimbos. I've never been into what my mother did why would I be now." I said rather flatly

"Because he knows we are linked with the rest. According to Lyla he still thinks that you are on the outs with us still. This is the only way we will catch your mothers killer."

I knew I was going to end up doing this one way or another but, I wanted to know one thing before I accepted anything. "Did you guys love each other?" I whispered

Bobby's eyes softened when he realized what I had asked. "No, Victoria. I didn't love your mother in that way. Of course I cared for her like I do for all the women of the club. But...what we did was just sex and nothing more, your mother could never love anyone besides your dad."

I watched him closely with my eyes narrowed. When I determined that he wasn't lying I straighten out and looked over to my house. "Give me a minute to get dressed and call him."

I started to walk back to my house but, Bobby grabbed my wrist. "Do you want me to come in there."

I knew what he was implying but I shook my head. "I can deal with him."

I walked into the house and Derek was sitting on the steps waiting for me to walk back in. "What did they want."

I started walking past him to go up the stairs, "They need me for something. I will be right back."

"What do they need you for?" Derek's voice drifted up the stairs

I didn't answer him and kept walking, he should know the rules by now. Once I reached the top step, his voice was no longer calm. "What are you doing!" he snapped

I turned around so fast I almost lost my balance. I placed my hands on my hips and glared down at him. "You know I can't tell you that and even if I could I wouldn't. You knew this was part of being a part of this life so grow up."

He looked up to me shocked at how mean I sounded and I walked to our bedroom before he could say another word. I closed the door and after I took a minute to collect myself I called Georgie. He answered on the first ring, "Why hello beautiful. Didn't think I was going to ever here from you." his sickening voice came through the phone

"I don't want to hear it. I'll do your stupid movie, I'm in need of the money right now, the farm isn't doing so well." I could hear some clapping in the background and I continued on. "I want to meet up now with the contract and my terms."
"Good, I can do that. I will text you the address but, you gotta wear something sexy. I want to make sure I'm working with the old you."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever it takes right? I'll be there shortly."

I hung up the phone and ran my fingers through my hair. I slipped on a tight black silk dress that in the front stopped about mid thighs and the back went down to my ankles. The v neck on it was quiet low and I grabbed a set of strap heels. I quickly stepped into the bathroom and gave my hair some tease and volume before I grabbed my car keys and set off down the stairs. "Is that for him?" Derek voice came from behind me

I looked over to him as my hand rested on the front door. He was no longer angry, no he looked concerned and upset. I looked down to my outfit, "No it is just for the club. I don't even know if he is going to be there. "

"He is always there if you are." Derek said pouting

I couldn't deny what he said, even if we didn't mean to. We always ran into each other when it came to club business. "I'm only going to be gone for at max an hour. I just got to help them quickly and I'll be home."

I took a quick step forward and kissed him on the lips. But, just like every time before no matter how much love I put into it the feelings I got were nothing like with Tig. He watched as I left going straight to my car. I pulled out and stopped in front of Clays bike. "I'm meeting him now, follow me."

The address that Georgie gave me led me to a big warehouse that looked all but abandoned. He was waiting out front with a director who I was told was in on the plan as well. As I pulled in and parked I ran over the plan in my mind. The boys had parked a little way away and ran over here. They were going to be in there when I walked in with Georgie, from there they would take him. I let out a shaky breath and watched as he walked towards me. This son of a bitch killed my mother whatever happened here today was exactly what he deserved. My mother may not have been my favorite person in the world right now but, she deserved some justice. I stepped out of my car and locked the doors. Georgie held open his arms with a big smile on his face. "Beautiful Victoria." he spoke as he grabbed my cheeks kissing me once on each cheek

"Let's get this over with Georgie."

"Straight to business as usual with you."

"Sorry I just have better things to do then meet up in a creepy looking warehouse."

"Don't worry about it." Georgie said with a laugh as he placed a hand on my back and guided me towards the entrance.

"Must I say you look gorgeous. I know I said dress up but, this is beyond what I thought you would look like now."

I had to suppress the urge to throw up and rip his hand off my back. But, instead I laughed swatted his shoulder. I hoped in this attempt I could try to get away from him but, his hand slipped from my back to my waist where he held me tight. I realized there was no escaping now and bit my lip counting the seconds until the boys showed up. We walked down some halls and the farther we came into the building the lower his hand was becoming. Just as we rounded another corner, I grabbed his hand and gripped it tight in my own as I stared him down. "My ass is off limits, keep your god damn hands to yourself." I spat at him

What I hadn't realized was that the rest of SAMCRO was standing there. Georgie turned around and came face to face with a furious Jax. "Son of a bitch. You were a part of this your stupid bitch?" He swore

I glared at him trying not to let my anger boil over, "You killed my mother your son of a bitch."

"Georgie we need to talk." Chibs said lowly taking out his gun

Georgie looked wildly between all of us and shoved me hard towards them and went running the other direction. I stumbled into Tigs arm and Jax went running an opposite direction in what I supposed was an attempt to cut Georgie off. Tig stood me up straight and after checking me over pointed down the hall to the exit. "Go back to your car, I'll be there in a minute." He told me

I nodded my head and took off in that direction, going straight for my car. It wasn't until I was in my car that I took the chance to take a few deep breathes. I placed my head gently on the steering wheel and closed my eyes. I kept telling myself that this was a good thing, one innocent life for the guilty one but, I was apart of it. It was one thing to know about it but a completely other thing for me to have a hand in it. A knock came to my window and I jumped in shock and turned to face the visitor. Tig was looking at me worried and I rolled down my window. He leaned over slightly so he could see me better, "You doing alright?" he asked

"I think I'm just tired you know?"

His hand reached through the window and hesitated before my cheek. But, instead of touching me like he normally would he pulled his hand back. "Listen, go home and go to sleep. You can't do anymore here."

I looked away from him to my dashboard and I fingered my keys between my pointer finger and thumb. "Please make sure he gets what he deserves…I don't want to know about it but, I don't want him to get away with it either. What he did to her…it was unthinkable and he has gotten away with it for years."

Quiet settled between us and I just shook my head and stuck my keys in the ignition getting ready to pull away. "Vickie?"

"Yeah?"

Tig looked almost embarrassed as he looked away. "Not that you don't look gorgeous like that but, can you only where that for someone special. The other boys don't need to see you like that."

I giggled and smiled at him, I knew that that was just his way of telling me that he was the only one who should see me like that and that made me happy. "Good night Tig."

"Drive safe." That's all he said before he walked back towards warehouse
