Chapter 20: We Fit Together

Kali hadn't given Chibs the opportunity to disagree with her before she had passionately kissed him to make him semi-forget the conversation that they were having. In reality although she was confident about heading to San Bernadino she was also semi-terrified of having to go and talk with Packer. Packer like Chibs had known her most of her life.

"Tig doesn't know that I'm doing this, he can't know," Kali told him, pushing him against the chair as she spoke. "Can we keep this between us and Happy?"

"Darlin' you know they'll all be asking questions," Chibs told her moving slightly out of her grip as he spoke.

"I know, and you know how to answer them," Kali retorted, taking a deep breath as she leaned back in her chair again. "If they ask where I've gone just tell them that I had to go out of town a few days,"

"And what are you doing with the kids?" Chibs questioned, that was the one thing that he really wanted the answer for – had she factored in that she was currently the guardian/mother to three children.

"Lyla and Wendy both said they'd stay...or you know you and Jax can attempt to work it out between the two of you," Kali laughed, she had covered this already as it was one of the first things that she had told him. "We literally covered this about 10 minutes ago,"

"I know darlin' I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were doing," Chibs smiled at her and pulled her closer to him again. "You really think that Packer will agree to talk to the others?"

"I do, he's known me forever...he may have once gotten me out of trouble when I was on tour," Kali bit her lip as she said the last part unsure of whether she should have said anything at all.

Chibs looked at the young woman sitting beside him, had she just admitted to lying to them all whenever she had returned home? Kali looked at Chibs and shrugged what could she do now but admit what had happened.

"Sorry...I haven't even told Jax about this, Packer promised we'd keep it between us. Got into a bar fight just inside San Bernadino a couple of years after I left...Never said anything about it because I never got arrested," Kali was almost quiet as she spoke, she was trying to think of a way to explain exactly what had happened. "One of Packer's men noticed the dragon on my calf, it was one of his men that started it – said I shouldn't have been there...Packer called him out on it,"

"Wait a minute, you got in a bar fight and didn't spill?" Chibs raised an eye-brow at her and then grinned at her.

"Didn't realise who I was until Packer pulled us both aside and motioned for me to show the reaper," Kali replied, with a slight shrug before she continued. "Told him that I was the daughter of the original President of SAMCRO,"

"You used your pop, only you darlin'," Chibs smiled at her leaning over and planting a kiss on her cheek as he took her hand in his.

Chibs and Kali sat talking a while longer before both of them decided that she should be prepared to leave the following morning after making the call to Happy and telling him that she was heading out of town and wanted the company. Happy was happy to oblige, even going so far as to take it upon himself to accompany her the whole way to San Bernadino. The following morning Kali and Happy left before anyone was awake so that she wouldn't chicken out. It was something that had to be done.

"You know you don't have to come the whole way to San Bernadino with me," Kali said after they pulled up at a truck stop in Fresno.

"I know," Happy paused looking at her as they made sure their belongings were secured on their bikes. "Why didn't you drive down?"

"Some of the SAMDINO guys don't take too kindly to cages," Kali answered with a shrug as she pulled off her helmet and he did the same. "Chibs gave you the heads up before I called last night didn't he?" Kali questioned, raising her eyebrow at him as they headed inside.

"He did," was the only answer he needed to give her.

"Hap, thank you," Kali smiled at him, rolling up her jacket's sleeves as she headed straight for the coffee. She'd been at this one truck-stop a few times on her runs. "Can we get two black coffees? Thanks," Kali said the moment that she sat down at the counter.

"What brings you through this time?" the waitress questioned, looking at her and then at Happy as he sat next to her and placed his helmet on the stool beside him.

"Business, not pleasure this time unfortunately," Kali answered as the girl served both of them their coffee's. "Whats the special today?" she was starving and wanted to know what the breakfast special was.

"Same as usual darlin'," the mention of 'darlin' had Kali immediately thinking of Chibs which it shouldn't but it did and she couldn't help but smile.

"I'll just get the breakfast burrito – minus the meat," Kali took a breath before glancing at Happy who was studying the menu before he spoke.

"Scrambled eggs and sausage," the only words that came out of his mouth before he turned his attention to Kali.

"The breakfast burrito's pretty good from memory," Kali laughed, picking up the coffee and taking a sip before putting it back down and realising she hadn't added any sugar to it. "Sugar, needs sugar,"

Happy shook his head and drank his coffee, he liked his without the sugar. While they sat and waited for their coffee, Kali thought of the things that she needed to talk to Packer about, and how she as going to go about it.

Meanwhile at the house, Lyla and Wendy had almost forgotten that not only did they have to deal with the children they also needed to help Jax while Chibs was out. This was forgotten until the heard swearing coming from the bedroom and Jackson and Abel racing out the room at the rate of knots until they ran straight into them.

"Aunt Wendy...Uncle Jax needs help," Jackson said grabbing Wendy's hand and pulling her towards the bedroom.

"A little help?" Jax questioned, from his position laying in a tangled mess on the floor.

"What happened?" Wendy answered once she reached the room and moved to help him get untangled and back onto the bed.

"What do you think happened?" Jax growled at her as he tried to manoeuvre himself into a position where he could help her help him. "Just help me back onto the bed, when'd my sister and Happy leave?"

"Before the sun, before anyone was awake," Wendy answered as she gave him a hand to get him back up onto the bed and in a comfortable position.

"Thanks, what are the kids doing?" Jax questioned, he'd had Abel and Jackson in his room until they'd run off and now he didn't know where they were.

"Lounge room watching cartoons. All of them, Lyla's making breakfast and I think Chibs has left already," Wendy took a deep breath as she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the father of her son. "You know, you can get out of here whenever you want. You don't just have to stay in the bedroom feeling sorry for yourself," Wendy stated looking him directly in the eyes before he looked away from her.

A few hours later and Kali had arrived at the San Bernadino club-house and was waiting at the bar to talk with Packer. Some club members still didn't respect that she was one of them, and had just as much say in the goings on as anyone else so she received a few dirty looks. Kali had taken the hoodie off that she'd been wearing to reveal her SAMCRO tattoo on her forearm.

"Had this since I was eighteen, that's how long I've been in this business for," Kali said, she didn't have to explain it but she was getting questioned either way. "Which by the way was fourteen years ago," Kali finished off looking up as Packer walked into the clubhouse and motioned for her to follow him.

"Kali, what an I do for you?" Packer said closing the door to their church before making his way to his seat and sitting down motioning for her to sit with him.

"It's about Jax, and the mayhem vote," Kali replied sitting down and pulling out the files that she had to show him.

"You know I can't do anything about that," Packer told her, Kali sighed and looked at the files that she held in her hands.

"What would you do if I told you that it wasn't Jax's fault with Jury?" she questioned, running a hand through her hair as she tossed the file to him. "This is a statement about what happened, the past year none of it was Jax – he was set up,"

"How do you know this?" Packer questioned as he looked over the file and then noticed the 'Federal Bureau of Investigation' mark at the top of the page. "How did you get this?"

"My best-friend is a fed," Kali explained watching carefully as Packer read the file again and then placed it in front of them. "Before you ask, when I met her she wasn't a fed she was just like me...I was eighteen," Kali paused before she continued to speak running a hand through her hair. "I asked her to look into it, they've helped the club out on a few occasions,"

"What sort of help are we talking here?" Packer asked, taking in everything that Kali was saying to him.

"The sort of help that got my boy back, got Jax's boy...Stopped the RICO charges..." Kali paused as she tried to remember everything that had happened over the last few years. "Obviously we aren't untouchable but we helped them out on a case involving Roosevelt and Hale,"

"Kali, if the information you've given me is legitimate than Jax's case will need to be reviewed," Packer told her, resting both of his hands on the table as Kali picked up the file and pulled out a copy and handed it to him.

"Keep this, you may need it if you talk to the other presidents," Kali told him before adding. "Chibs didn't tell me to do this, I told him I was and he agreed with me,"

"That man would do anything for you. All the clubs that knew John and Jax would," Packer told her, causing her to smile as she knew that it was true.
