Chapter 14: A Simple Plan Gone Wrong

Tig was working on his bike when he looked up and saw a furious but familiar face walking towards him. He put down his tools and crossed his arms over his chest. "What are you doing here, Wendy?"

"I'm hearing from all over that Abel has been kidnapped." Tig slowly nodded. "Where's my son?"

"Cameron Hayes took him after he stabbed Sack and tied up Tara."

"Stabbed? Is he?" Tig nodded. "Oh no... where's Jax?"

"He's over at his other house with Sack's sister, Carly."

Wendy's eyes widened. "He had a sister?"

"Yeah, it was a shock to us all and she is beautiful... let me tell you."

"No, it's okay." she shook her head. "Why is Jax with her and not out finding our son?"

"We'll get him soon, okay? He gave us a call to meet him somewhere to make a deal."

"All right." she nodded. "Where's Gemma?"

He shrugged. "We don't know."

"So why exactly is Sack's sister with my husband?"

"Wendy." he sighed. "You two have been divorced for some time, let it go."

"I can't Tig... we have a son together and I still love him."

"Okay." he nodded. "I'll see what I can do, because Jax has told me to stay away from Carly, but I can't." he paused. "So, I'll get with her and you can have your ex husband back."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I have a plan... I'll call you when it's done."

"Thank you, Tig." she told him, then walked away. Tig shook his head and went back to his bike.

Carly stood there in front of the shower curtain, naked. She counted to three and slowly went inside the shower. She saw Jax rinsing the shampoo out of his hair and gazed at the tattoo covering his back.

When Jax turned around and wiped his face, he saw Carly in front of him with a smile. "Wow, Baby... you look sexier than the HD on your TV."

She giggled. "Um... thanks."

He grabbed Carly by her hips and pulled her closer to him, then started kissing, and nibbling on her neck. Within ten minutes, they were makin' some sweet sweet lovin'.

----

It was the morning of Kip's funeral, Carly was getting herself and the girls ready to meet Jax at the church. As she was putting on her knee high boots, Lily walked in with a sad face. "What's wrong, Baby Girl?"

"How come Jax isn't here?"

"He had to set things up for your Uncle Kip's funeral... we'll see him when we get there." Lily just nodded. "So have you decided when you're going to give Jax his present?"

"Not yet, Mommy."

"Okay, go finish getting dressed then we'll leave." Lily nodded again, then walked out of the room.

Carly finished fixing her hair, put on her make up, and walked out to the livingroom. She saw Rachel sitting on the couch, eating cereal, and watching TV. "You ready to go, Rach?"

"Yep." she said, turning off the TV and setting her empty bowl on the coffe table. "But for the record, I'm not a big fan of funerals."

"Me either." Carly shook her head. "The last one we went to was..."

"My brothers."

"Yeah... so hurry so we can go."

"Okie dokie." Rachel said, getting up off the couch.

Carly went into Lily's room and said "Lily?"

"Yes, Mommy?"

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yep." Lily said, then put on her shoes and walked out. "Ready, Aunt Rachel?"

"Sure am, Squirt." she smiled at her. "Let's go." then all three of them left the house and Carly drove to the church.

----

"Tig, what am I even doing in here?"

"Well, Wendy... it's simple. You still want to go ahead with that plan right?"

"Yeah, but I don't know." she looked around. "Someone's gonna think something's up, if they catch us in the mens bathroom, during the service."

"But you still want Jax, right? Well, I want Carly."

"Have you seen the way he was looking at her in there and it's like they're joined at the hip."

"That doesn't matter, we just have to get them apart after the funeral."

"And how are you gonna do that?"

"With this." Wendy saw the little glass bottle with liquid inside, in Tig's hand.

"What's that?"

"I spike Carly's punch and take her to my room when it's taken effect, then after Jax sees me and her together... he'll be all yours." Wendy looked unsure. "Do you want Jax or not?"

"Yes." she nodded. "I want my family back together."

"All right then, this is how we do it."

"Tig, if I was alive... I would fuckin' kill you and drag you to hell, myself." Half Sack said, before he disappeared.

----

The service at the church and at the cemetery went pretty well, then as everyone was walking to their bikes or cars, Carly was still standing there, staring at Kip's casket. Seconds later, she felt a hand on her arm, followed by "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Tig." she nodded. "I'm fine."

"Carly!" she looked up and saw Kip standing in front of her on the other side of his casket. "Whatever he says, don't listen to him." she raised her eyebrow. "Tig and Jax's ex wife is planning to drug you with something, so when Jax goes looking for you, he'd see you and Tig together."

Carly slightly nodded, then looked over at Tig. "Where's Jax?"

"He's over there talking to Wendy."

"It's part of their plan, Sis." he shook his head. "Don't take any drinks from either of them or anyone."

"Okay." she smiled at Kip, then glanced at Tig again. "If you don't mind, I'd like a few moments alone with my brother."

"Sure." Tig nodded, then he walked away to his motorcycle.

"Carly, please be careful."

"I will." she nodded, then Kip disappeared.

Five minutes later, out of the corner of Carly's eye, she saw Jax walking up to her. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. "You okay, Babe?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine... where's the girls?"

"With Chibs and Juice, on the way to the clubhouse."

She nodded. "So who were you talking to?"

"The ex wife, Wendy... she wants me back."

"What about you? Do you want her back?"

Jax let her go, then spun her around to face him. "No... I want you. What me and Wendy had, that ship has sailed and it sunk. The only thing we have in common is Abel." he cupped Carly's face with his hands. "I want to be with you, Carly... you and the girls, then when we bring Abel home, it can just be the five of us." she nodded and gave Jax a kiss, then he smiled. "Come on, let's go, Babe."

"Okay." she grabbed his hand and they walked to her car.

"I'll meet you at the clubhouse."

"See you there." she nodded, got in, and drove off.

----

Jax pulled up and parked his bike, then walked over to Carly, who was waiting for him by the car. "Have you went in there yet?"

"No, I wanted to wait for you."

Jax gave her a hug. "Is something wrong?" he backed up to look at her. "I mean, we just buried your brother."

"I'm fine." she nodded. "Because I feel like Kip is here with me... somehow."

Jax kissed her on the nose, then said "Let's get inside." he grabbed her hand, then both of them walked into the clubhouse. Lily spotted Jax and ran up to him. "Hey Lily." he picked her up.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. "I love you, Jax... you're my best pal."

He kissed her on the side of her head. "I love you too, Lily."

Fifteen minutes later, Rachel walked up to Carly with a drink in her hand. "Hello... my wonderful sister-in-law."

"Yeah?" Carly gave her a funny look.

Rachel took a big gulp, then said "I was told that this drink is for you."

Carly's eyes widened. "Who'd you get it from?"

"The note by the bar." Rachel said, swaying back and forth. "It was... weird."

Carly smacked the drink out of her hand, then Rachel collapsed on the floor. "Oh my God!" she checked Rachel's eyes, but they were rolled in the back of her head. She checked her pulse but it was weak. "Wake up, Rachel... don't do this to me."

Juice noticed a few people crowding around, then as he got closer, he saw Rachel on the ground with Carly hovering over her. He quickly knelt down and asked "What happened?"

"She was drinking something and collapsed." she looked at him. "Juice, I have to get her to the hospital. Please watch Lily, like a hawk... just you and Chibs."

"We will." he said, picking up Rachel bridal style. "I'll get her to your car, you go find Jax."

She nodded, then looked around for Jax. When she found him, he was holding Lily, talking to Tig and Opie. "Jax..."

"Hey Carly." Tig started. "How are you doing?"

"Better than you." she told him, then Carly punched Tig in the face as hard as she could, knocking him on the ground.

As Tig was wincing in pain, Jax and Opie was in shock, then Jax said "What's going on, Babe?"

"Wow." Opie said, in awe.

She took Lily out of Jax's arms and had Chibs hold her. "You and Juice watch my daughter, please... like a hawk."

"Sure." he nodded.

"Where you going, Mommy?"

She death glared down at Tig. "Rachel doesn't feel good... she suddenly became sick." she looked back up at Lily. "You're gonna stay with Chibs and Juice for a while, so be good."

Lily wrapped her arms around Chibs' neck and said "Okay, Mommy."

She looked over at Jax. "Come on."

As she was pulling Jax out the door, he stopped. "What's going on?"

"Rachel drank something and fell on the floor. Juice has her in the car." he nodded, as he followed Carly, then both of them got into her car, and she looked at Juice. "Please take care of my daughter."

"I will, Carly... I promise." he nodded, then she gave him a weak smile, and she drove off to the hospital.
