I understand that this chapter is short but don't worry there will be more to come. One thing about Na Triobloidi that bugs me is other than the nasty cliffhanger, the original version of "Gimme Shelter" wasnt used. I know copyright isn't a huge issue cuz my other fav show, CSI: NY, used the Rolling Stones song in the third season. If you guys have been following my playlist on youtube -- the site is finally behaving on my laptop -- you'll be in for a treat 'cuz that's the version I'm sticking in the playlist. Also, I can't KO Half-Sack. Don't have the heart.
Chapter 13- Gimme Shelter
Chibs and Morrigan joined most of the Sons, Gemma, Tara, and Lyla standing in front of the police station waiting for news on Zobelle and Weston. Morrigan was tired. She hadn't slept much last night. She leaned against Chibs, who put his arm around her so she could shut her eyes against the California sun and rest her head on his shoulder. Juice was too busy staring at the ground to notice the display of affection. Unser then walked out and everyone walked up the stairs to hear what he had to say. He had nothing yet, and everyone could cut the tension with a knife at this point.
"I want you to go back to the clubhouse luv," said Chibs.
"No problem," said Morrigan.
She got in the car with Gemma, Tara, and Lyla. When they got to the clubhouse, Piney gave Morrigan a thumbs-up signaling everything was okay.
"Kerrianne's just been hanging out with Roxy, I think they raided the kitchen," said Piney.
"Good, Roxy needs a friend," said Gemma.
"Kerrianne does too… I guess things are turnin' around for the better," said Morrigan.
She then got a call from Chibs. He wanted to speak with Kerrianne if she was up, and wanted to make sure everything was okay.
"She's fine, and all me guns are loaded… anyone stupid enough ta try hurtin' her is gonna be Swiss cheese," said Morrigan.
She handed Kerrianne her phone, and decided to make both herself and the teenagers some real breakfast – the Irishwoman had seen the remains of tacos, and that definitely wasn't a real breakfast. Pancakes were better.
Morrigan heard the door open and looked up as Jax, Opie, and Chibs entered the clubhouse.
"Hey Da," said Kerrianne.
Father and daughter shared a hug before Kerrianne went upstairs, saying she was tired.
"I think we might've woken her up this mornin'," said Morrigan. "She's doin' fine though. Hangin' out with Roxy Delaney."
"I'm glad she's got a friend already," said Chibs.
"Me too," said Morrigan.
The couple shared a hug as Jax and Clay talked. Chibs downed a shot of whiskey and handed another to Opie, who had Lyla in his arms. Chibs pulled Morrigan closer, knowing he would have to leave soon to battle the Mayans with the others.
That was when Chibs realized something.
It had been eight days ago that he had been reunited with Morrigan.
So much had happened in those eight days – the car bomb, the guys in jail, ATF, LOAN, Jimmy… but he and his beloved were still standing strong in the storm.
"Sons," said a Nomad.
The other Sons responded by toasting with their shot glasses before heading into church.
When they got out, Chibs gave Morrigan a kiss before he left.
Kerrianne ran down the stairs. Morrigan noticed she didn't look too good.
"Roxy's throwing up, so am I," said Kerrianne. "I think the sour cream we used in those tacos was bad."
Morrigan checked the date on the offending condiment – it was way past its expiration date.
"Go lie down, I'm gonna get ye two some water," said Morrigan.
After getting both girls several bottles of water, Morrigan realized some anti-nausea medication would be needed. Other than that they were okay.
"I'm gonna go to the drugstore, I'll be right back," said Morrigan. "Keep drinkin' the water so you two don't get dehydrated."
"Can I get my belly button pierced when this is over?" said Kerrianne.
"You'll have to ask yer da," said Morrigan.
"You got it done at my age and no one knew but Kelly and me da!" said Kerrianne.
Morrigan managed to sneak out, and got into Kerrianne's Mustang, which she had hidden at Teller-Morrow. Morrigan was unable to make it onto Main Street due to the Sons and Mayans parked there like something out of a western, but as she drove on she saw Half-Sack's bike parked in the driveway of someone's house.
Cameron's car was also there, which set off red flags for Morrigan. Reaching into her purse, she felt the same revolver, a Colt Python that she had used that dark night in O' Malley's.
She had a feeling that when she entered that house she would be using it again.
"Tara? Tara!" Jax yelled.
He shut his phone off, Tara's had died several minutes ago.
"Something's wrong I gotta go," said Jax.
"Alright," said Clay.
"I'm with you brother," said Opie.
"Aye, me too," said Chibs.
None of them had no idea just how bad things were about to become.
Tara stood there, shocked.
Cameron had just plunged a kitchen knife deep into Half-Sack's gut.
The prospect was barely alive and the Irishman was about to finish the job when…
"Stop what yer doin' right now," said a voice.
Tara looked up to see Morrigan with a gun pointed at Cameron.
"Let go of the knife, Cameron," said Morrigan.
"If ye put away yer gun, I'll take me hands off it," said Cameron.
"You first," said Morrigan.
"Just like Jimmy ye filthy whore," said Cameron.
He let go of the knife, and Morrigan put her gun down. Morrigan tried subduing Cameron but he got the upper hand, twisting her right arm behind her back and throwing her to the floor. Morrigan winced. She knew he had broken it.
Unfortunately, Cameron was able to walk out with Abel while Morrigan was down and Tara was trying to keep Half-Sack alive. Morrigan used her good arm to get up and grabbed the cell phone for Tara then grabbed her gun.
"Ye can call 911, right?" said Morrigan.
"Yeah, but where are you going?" said Tara. "You can't drive with that arm!"
"I'm gettin' Abel back or dyin' tryin'," said Morrigan.
She ran out to the Mustang and got in as Tara dialed 911.
Morrigan started the car and threw her gun on the passenger seat as she floored it, chasing Cameron's car.
She knew they were headed for the wharf, his speedboat was there.
She hoped she could stop him in time.
Jax, Opie, and Chibs arrived moments after Morrigan had begun chasing Cameron to find paramedics loading the Prospect in an ambulance, a knife deep in his gut.
"I'm sorry guys," said Half-Sack.
"Who did this?" said Chibs.
"Cameron," said Half-Sack.
The doors closed and the ambulance headed for St. Thomas.
"Tara!" said Jax.
They ran inside the house to find Tara standing in the kitchen.
"What did Cameron do?" said Jax.
"He took Abel," said Tara. "I think he followed Half-Sack… but someone was on to him."
"Who?" said Opie.
"Morrigan," said Tara. "I think she was following him… she stopped him from killing Half-Sack but she's chasing him down right now to get Abel."
"Did he hurt her?" said Chibs.
"He broke her arm, and I have no idea how she's driving in her condition," said Tara.
The bikers didn't wait to hear anything else. They took off.
Morrigan realized she was gaining on him. Good. However, shooting him wasn't an option yet. She had to get Abel away from him before she could pull the trigger.
Morrigan then heard the roar of bikes. She saw three. Three then turned to seven and they were almost a mile behind her, which meant she would have to stall Cameron until they arrived.
It was a good thing she was left-handed, because that was the hand she used to shoot with.
Morrigan noticed they were at the wharf and immediately shut off the car. She didn't even bother to park it anywhere, just grabbed her gun and ran out after Cameron.
Morrigan kept running and chased him onto the speedboat.
He had safely put Abel down before realizing Morrigan was there.
He went to start the boat and that was when she shot him in the arm. When Cameron went looking for his weapon, he realized he had left it in his car.
"Shit," said Cameron.
"Hand Abel over to me or I'll shoot ye in the head," Morrigan hissed.
"Fine, take 'im," said Cameron.
Morrigan stuck her gun in her jacket and scooped up Abel with her good arm.
"There's a good boy, I'm gonna give ye to yer da, it's okay little one," Morrigan whispered.
She realized that Cameron was slowly starting the boat and it was inching away from the dock – she knew he wasn't gonna let either of them get off the boat with his permission.
So Morrigan jumped, using her legs to break the fall.
The Sons arrived to find Cameron still docked and Morrigan splayed out on the wharf, hugging Abel to her chest with one of her arms.
"He tried startin' the boat, I had te jump," said Morrigan.
Abel giggled as Jax scooped him up in his arms. Chibs was concerned when Morrigan didn't get up and saw that her left leg was bent at an odd angle – she had broken that too.
"Me right arm is useless, I had ta use my legs ta break the fall," said Morrigan.
"I gotta get you to the hospital luv," said Chibs.
She took her gun from her jacket and handed it to Chibs.
"So the nurses don't find it on me," said Morrigan.
Tig laughed at that one, and soon everyone was laughing.
No one realized Cameron had revved his speedboat into reverse until it was too late.
Then it was coming at them superfast and they were all running for it.
Morrigan was in his direct path, and knew she couldn't run but tried rolling out of the way.
It didn't work, and the Sons could only watch in horror as Cameron rammed the defenseless woman into a beam and pulled away.
Chibs ran to catch her as Cameron made his escape, and it was obvious that Morrigan's injuries were bad.
"Morrigan!" said Chibs. "Can you hear me? Morrigan!"
Hopefully I'll be able to update if an angry mob doesn't find me first. Review!
