JAX (2) POV:
CLAY: I'm gonna have to rid of Clay, I know that I told Tara a few weeks ago what he was doing was of the good of the club but I think perhaps that I was trying to persaude myself of the truth of that statement. However after finding out what he did to my dad, I can't go on lying to myself anymore, Clay has to die. We had started getting on better before and after we got Abel back from the Irish but our relationship has hit rock bottom again. Hell it's gone even lower than rock bottom its bypassed hell and disappeared somewhere else!
I knew that Clay was devious and manipulative and that he was responsible for the deaths of quite a few people I mean who hasn't killed in this club before, I certainly no innocent in that department. Until recently the only one of the patched brothers who I would have said was, would have been Miles and Juice but things change as they do in the MC world but Clay killing his own brothers that is something I am still finding hard to believe. I always thought my dads accident was just that an accident but I now know otherwise and Piney as well, everything is just so fucked up.
TIG: Before everything that happened with Abel and the Irish I would have quite happily have seen Tig dead in a ditch for what he did to Donna but helping to get my 'old lady' back while the rest of us were in Belfast before we went away for 14 months and watching all our backs inside has changed my opinion of him. Also he and Clay stopped being as close as they were before Stockton, in fact when he found out what had happened to my Ma he handed in his SAA patch, telling Clay that he couldn't and wouldn't protect the back of a man who would beat up his wife in the way that he did Gemma. Although since Clay's shooting he has acted really guilty I think in some ways he blames himself, he looks at it as if he had been there he could have stopped it and Clay would not be now in a hospital bed.
Since Stockton he has in a way mellowed perhaps he is realising that he is getting older, I know once when we were inside he was reminiscing about all that he had done in the past and the regrets that he had, such as losing his girls, Dawn and Fawn. Shooting Donna and some of the other 'shit' he has done for the club in the past, I can see him possibly going NOMAD in the near future especially since this business with Clay being shot and Tig killing Laroy's girlfriend in retalliation. A retalliation that I can see bringing trouble, big trouble for the club.
PINEY: He had got even more crochety than he was before we went inside, I still loved him as a brother and the closest thing I have to an 'uncle' but I was sick and tired of his interferance. However I would not have wanted him dead not Piney, he was one of the last connections that I had to my dad. He knew him better than even Ma knew him and he tried to tell me what happened to dad but I was too stubborn to listen, now I won't ever get the chance to hear all the things he wanted to tell me.
I know he was not happy about the drug mulling in fact he was down right hostile about it and seemed to be pressing Clay to get us out of it but I did not know at the time that he was trying to blackmail Clay with the letters that Maureen Ashby put in my backpack, the letters that dad sent her telling her that he knew that his death would come at the hands of his best friend. He should have lnown that Clay would not take kindly to his interference and as for his attempts at blackmail well, Clay killed him for that as well as killing my dad. So for killing Piney as well, he has to die! I will miss seeing Piney at the bar whenever I walk into the clubhouse.
OPIE: Did a good job running the club when we were all inside and I want to see him take over the gravel when I leave with Tara and the boys but after seeing him shoot Clay the other night I no longer think that he is capable of leading the club. He has become too unstable almost as unstable as JUice and we need someone with a calm head holding the gavel. I can understand the pain he is going through at the moment, his wife Donna and his dad both being murdered by Clay. OK, I know Clay wasn't the one who pulled the trigger when it came to Donna but it was his orders that killed her and he certainly pulled the trigger on Piney.
Not only that his marriage to Lyla is going down the toilette, as much as I like Lyla I couldn't see thier marriage lasting if she continued working as a porn star, I know that Opie was not happy with the situation. I knew that they would not be like Otto and Luanne, quite happily working through the fact that Luanne worked in porn and was married to a SON, they were too different and then learning that Lyla had aborted his child I think was the last straw for Opie. Mind you him sleeping with that slut Ima certainly did not help matters. His dick nearly got my Ma and Tara killed when the stupid bitch pulled a gun on them in the clubhouse and in front of my two boys as well, I blame Opie for that little fiasco!
HAPPY: Still the same it seems since coming out of prison, Happy never seems to change. If he has he has not shown it in the ways that the others have. I know he is more concerned about his mother and due to the high medical fees that were draining him financially he had to move her in with his Aunt in Lodi, to a neighbourhood that is not the best one to be in but at least he can see her more now which is one good thing. He and Tig seemed to get closer inside, they spent quite a bit of time together, watching not just each others backs but also all of ours and when I got shanked inside I know that Happy went after some of the Russian guys which alanded him in the 'hole' for a while mind you he wasn't the only one, Tig was in the cell next to him.
Happy voted against the drug business, he does not like drugs and the idea of traffiking them disgusts him but like any good soldier he dies his job even if at the moment he does not like what he is doing, where the drugs are concerned but I know he won't turn on the club, the club is everything to him and he will die rather than turn on it. The only time sonce coming out of prison that I have seen himalmost lose it was when Koz was killed a few days ago, they had been friends for such a long time he seemed lost for a few days something that I never thought I would ever see in the Tacoma Killer but I geuss grief hits us all in different ways.
CHIBS: Did a good job of acting VP in my place while we were all away and would like to see him as the new VP when I'm gone but I know that is not up to me but those remaining in the club. I know he is keeping an eye on Juice at the moment, he is concerned about Juice's behaviour, that and the fact that Juice tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago. Chibs has always had a close relationship with Juice almost like a father and son one, I geuss it makes up for him missing his daughter Kerrianne who lives in Belfast with her mother, Fiona.
He is another who is not happy about us trafficking drugs nor is he happy with the way that the club is going. He was also upset when Miles was killed a few weeks ago, I know that Miles was a thief and a liar but he felt responsible, has in fact felt responsible for a lot of what happened since Half-sack was killed 2 years ago. He has no need to feel responsible for either Miles or Half Sack but I guess it is starting to weigh on him that nearly all the members that have been killed in the last few years have been younger ones especially ones he tends to regard as not just brothers but his 'adopted' kids which I guess is the reason why he is keeping such a close eye on Juice.
BOBBY: Has changed since Stockton. It use to be that I would listen to what Bobby had to say but now I find that his advice is just down right annoying. He has just, I don't know become so annoying of late, I still love him as a brother and I think part of the problem is my trying or in fact going to leave the club and he sees it as a kind of betrayal on my part but I have to think of Tara and my boys first and not the club.
Clay promised him the gavel if he backed him in the vote over thedrugs but Bobby refused to be brought by Clay and told me of Clay's offer. That lying bastard Clay another reason why he can't be allowed to live, if he lied to me and to Bobby how many other lies has he told. Bobby tried to pust Clay a few weeks ago by putting the leadersip up for vote but that didn't work and now he seems to have disappeared, he went to visit Otto in prison and has not been seen since. I sure hope that we don't find his body somewhere, another possible victim of Clay.
JUICE: Juice has changed since Stockton, he has become jumpy and nervous. I don't know if it is because of the drugs, Juice was another who did not like the idea of trafficking drugs and voted against it. I know since he shot Miles for stealing one of the bricks of coke that he has been depressed and can't seem to get wht happened out of his mind. In fact, he tried to kill himself a few weeks ago and would have succeeded if he hadn't have picked a weak branch on the tree, the doofus.
He told Chibs and Tig that he run into one of the security chains that Oswald had put across the back roads to explain the bruising on his neck but Chibs did not believe him and caught him trying to hide the evidence of the chain still attached to the branch. I know from what Chibs said that he went mad when he found out, calling Juice a coward and shouting at him what the hell he thought he was doing. He told me and swore me to secrecy about what was going on with Juice.
Hence the reason why Chibs is keeping such a close eye on Juice, really this should be brought to the table and the whole club made aware of Juice's state of mind at the moment but I know what will happen, they will vote him out of the club as they will be unable to trust him and I think that could be the worse possible thing for Juice. Next time he might just succeed at killing himself if there is no one to keep an eye on him. Also there is this business with the sheriff giving him such a hard time of it at the moment, for some reason the sheriff has decided to go after Juice, who at the moment we cannot find, he has gone MIA.
KOZIC: I cannot believe that Kozic is dead, one minute he was alive and the next, gone. He did such a good job keeping an eye on the club and Tara when we were all inside. Even getting patchedback into the Redwood Charter after we all went inside even Tig when we came out seemed to have accepted that Kozic was back. He did screw up and take his eye off the ball when he allowed those punks to steal our guns but we managed to get them back.
QUINN: Quinn never seems to change just like Happy is still loyal to the club and everything that it stands for. Not sure how he will take to us mulling drugs for the cartel, I do know though that he will go mad if he finds out that we have used some of his riders to transport some of the shit. He is very anti drugs is Quinn and not one you want to get on the wrong side of.
MILES: I still find it hard to believe that Miles betrayed us in the way that he did. Stealing from us and shooting Juice to cover up his crime. Happy was right he was a lyong bitch.
RATBOY: Former naval medic who joined the sons as a prospect when we were all inside, time will tell if he will make it,
FILTHY PHIL: Still a prospect one day might make a full member but only if he does not screw up again.
V-LIN: Another new one like Ratboy and again only time will tell.
A/N Sorry if this chapter seemed a bit long winded and that Jax sounded like he was whining but I personally can't stand Jax. He does seem to whine a lot in the series about the misfortune of his life but so far he has seemed to have done dick about changing it, talks about it but that seems to be all.
