Booo Natalie & Juice lol I appreciate the reviews. Enjoy the drama that is building. Starting with this chapter

Natalie POV

"You did good Natalie." Bri's mom smiled down at me. I just blinked up at her. Her icy appearance scared me almost as much as Happy's did. "The Family is scrambling."

I shrugged as she handed me the white envelope stuffed full of cash. "Thanks." I shifted. "I feel really bad about what I did. I don't want to help you anymore."

"Child, you've already screwed her over. You don't have to help me anymore, I already got what I wanted out of you." Her tone was harsh. "I don't care if you feel bad about it. It's done and that is that."

"You're a bitch." I shook my head. I betrayed my best friend for money. I was dumb and now I had to watch my back every single time I wasn't around Juice. Who seemed to be growing distant with me.

"I do what I have to. Katarzyna will come around to see things my way when her Family crumbles. She'll come over to my Family. Her rightful one." She smiled and straightened out her white pant suit. "You can leave now."

"I have nowhere to go." I sighed as I stood up.

"Then you can stay here, just make yourself scarce." She waved and walked off leaving me sitting in the uncomfortable kitchen chair.

I knew I could go back to the home I shared with Juice, but he wouldn't be there and I was afraid to be alone. Every time I went off I felt like I was being watched. It wasn't paranoia, it was a cold hard fact. I was being watched by Bri and possibly even Sons of Anarchy.

SOASOASOA

Bri POV

To say having the what seemed like the whole California police force barge into my home was scary, didn't do it justice. This shit was terrifying. I felt helpless as they placed me in cuffs and had me sit in the middle of the action. I watched my home get destroyed by officers on a mission to find anything incriminating.

"I have a gun safe." I spoke calmly to Sheriff Roosevelt. "It's in the basement. The combination is 2011."

"Anything illegal?" He smirked at me.

"Nope. I have a license to deal arms. Everything is legal and registered." I shrugged.

"Anything else I should know about?" He looked at me.

"I have nothing to hide. I just thought I'd let you know about the safes." I turned away. Hiding my face from him as I felt the tears threaten to fall.

"Appreciate that, your cooperation makes my job easier." He nodded and headed off towards the basement no doubt.

"Bri." I saw my dad flutter through the group of officers buzzing around the house. "I got Aleksandr's call."

"I'm OK." I lied. "I'll be fine." It was another lie.

"I'll get you bailed out honey." He placed a large hand on my shoulder and squeezed. "Don't say more than toy need to."

"I know the drill." I smirked. "Just tell Happy ok."

"Of course." He smiled. "Stay strong my darling, for you are not alone in this. We are with you. We stand beside you, not silent nor without purpose. We stand with you, our Queen."

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Very poetic." I nodded. I always hated when my dad attempted to be poetic and speechy. He watched too many episodes of the Tudors and it had rubbed off on him. I watched him go. No one seeming to care or acknowledge him. Too busy caught up in the task at hand.

#

Jail, jail, jail, I said over and over in my mind. I was headed to jail. A place I had managed to successfully avoid since coming back to the states to finish school and become the thing I always wanted to be; a doctor. I was a doctor who had gotten arrested because my ex best friend had turned on me.

"Hohrykova." The officer loading me into the squad car said. "Finally good to see the Queen." He wiggled his finger and I caught a glimpse of the skull ring. He was one of mine. He was going to be of help if I needed it.

"Get her to the station." Roosevelt said. "I'll ride with you." He smiled and slid into the passenger seat.

The ride back to the station was short. I knew it had to be one of the bigger stations in the county. It was better secure than Charming's station.

"Let's book her." A fat officer said. "Faster she gets booked the faster she goes to jail."

"What are the charges?" I asked him. "Can't book me, can't send me off to jail unless I'm being charged with something."

"I'll fill you in." Roosevelt smiled. "Get her into an interview room."

#

"Dr. Hohrykova." Roosevelt said as he took a seat across from me. A satisfied smirk on his face. I wanted to reach across and smack him. "You care to fill me in on the Family?"

"No idea what you're talking about." I shrugged. "What Family?"

"The Russian mafia. Don't play dumb." He laughed. "Doesn't suit you."

"What would I be doing with information on the Russian Mafia?" I shook my head. "I know nothing."

"Come on. You know you know something." He opened a folder and placed it before me. "Your deceased husband, he ran things right? Now it's in your charge."

I shrugged. "I mean, I do have a dead husband."

"How did he die?" He irked an eyebrow and studied my face.

"He was shot." I replied. "I shot him, it was self defense."

"He was also stabbed." He shook his head. "Overkill don't you think so?"

"Nope." I smiled. "He had to die, like a lot."

"What's so funny?" He asked me.

"Nothing. I mean, isn't your job to take criminals off the streets?" I asked. "Do I seem like a criminal to you?"

"Criminals come in all shapes and sizes." He tilted his head. "Some obvious and others not so much."

"I'm not a criminal, I don't have anything else to say. I have a question though. Can I get something to eat, I'm pregnant and I'd hate to have to sue the police station if anything bad happened to myself or my baby." I smiled politely at him.

"I'll see what I can do." He stood and walked out of the small room.

SOASOASOA

Happy POV

I must have listened to Bri's dad's voicemail a hundred times in the last five minutes. He said she had been picked up. My Queen was in custody and my home was in shambles. The police had done a number on it and hadn't bothered to pick up their mess. The prospect volunteered to clean but I didn't want the club in my home without clearing it with Bri first.

"Shit." I muttered as I flung a vase across the room. It smashed against the wall and the bits rained down on to the floor.

"She's going to be fine." Kozik said from his spot against the wall. "She'll be out in two days if they aren't charging her with shit."

"She's pregnant." I rubbed my head. "She doesn't need to be in there to begin with."

"I know Hap." He shook his head. "She will be fine."

I just nodded. "I can't deal with this shit."

"Lowman," he started. "She's got a hold on you."

"I'm in love with her. She's in trouble. She's pregnant with my child and I can't do shit to protect her when she's in there."

"You can't protect her if you go to jail either brother. You need to fuckin' relax and keep your head brother." He patted me on the back. "You'll get your old lady back."

"She's my Queen, not my old lady." I smirked.

"Damn." He smiled. "Deep hold on you. A hold stronger than my hair gel and Jax's put together."

"Shave it." I ran a hand over my smooth head. "You'll lose it anyways old man."

"Old?" He laughed. "You're old too."

"Nah." I shook my head. "I'm still young and vital."

"How old is Bri anyways? 30? 34?" He smiled.

"She'd kill you if she heard you say that. She's almost 29." I shrugged. "Birthday is in two weeks."

"We gotta spring her before then." He nodded. "I'm going to call Nikola."

"Why would you call that drunk?" I asked.

"Remember the other night banana was like I need to talk to you and hap about the Family and Nik." He furrowed his brow in deep thought. "Maybe Nik knows what she was going to tell us, she could help us."

"Then get her ass here." I barked.

"Don't stare when she gets here." He pointed at my eyes.

"Why would I?" I narrowed my glare at him.

"You'll see why bro." He laughed. "But she's my play thing so don't go getting any ideas when she gets here."

"Play thing." I shook my head. "Keep her. I'm focused on my Queen. Grow up and get one!"

"Oh shut the fuck up Mr. Fuck every croweater and sweetbutt." He smirked. "Don't forget where you came from and who you came on."

"Screw you Kozik. That was ages ago." I smiled. "I'm faithful now."

"Oh I know. I can't complain the women flock to me now." He said as he dialed Nik.

#

I had to stare at Nik. I couldn't help myself. I was so fucking intrigued on how much she looked like Bri. It was insane. She was just a paler, version of my Bri.

"Dude, stop staring." Kozik punched me in the arm and I hit him back.

"She looks like Bri!" I looked at him. "Twins."

"I'm like twenty two but whatever." She chimed. "What do you guys need? I'm late for important shit."

"Your sister got arrested." I said.

"True shit?" She asked at me. "I get arrested all the time."

"She's been arrested because of the Family." I added. "Know anything we can use to help her?"

"Ya." She smiled. "She can't be arrested for that here unless they've done a crime. Otherwise she has to be deported back to her birth country."

"What?" Kozik asked.

"The family is Russian. No members have gotten arrested here or been involved in any trackable criminal acts. So if they can't pin them to something here all they can do is release her and see if Russia wants to intervne but I doubt she will." She tilted her head and blew a bubble with her gum. Bri's immature blonde twin.

"How do you know this?" I asked her. "You're not in with the Family."

"I am with the times, there is the internet. Have you heard of it or what?" She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at me. They were sisters for sure.

"Yeah." I smirked. "You're her sister for sure. You know how many times you made my lady upset because she had to bail your stupid ass out of jail or cart you off to rehab?"

She turned her head and didn't speak.

"Thought so." I stood up. "You're going to help her out. I don't care what you gotta do but you owe it to her to tell us every fucking thing we need to know. Do you know why she wanted to talk to us about you and the Family?"

"Our mom." She sighed. "She's in town and is out to shut down Bri's Family and give her own Family total power."

"What?" I asked her. "I know she's in town but why would she go against her own daughter?"

"Because she refuses to marry another Russian enforcer." She looked at me. "I don't know anymore than that."

"Well, Hap, haven't even met the mom and she's already on the move to replace you." Kozik smiled and I glared at him.

"I'm going to get her home." I nodded. "No other fuckin' choice."

SOASOASOA

Bri POV

Roosevelt had managed to bring me food. A sandwich and chips. I had ate it all and I was still hungry and debating if I wanted to use my call to order a pizza.

"Brianna." Roosevelt came in with a woman in a harsh ill fitting pant suit. "Agent McKinnon." He gestured towards her.

"Can I get a pizza?" I asked, ignoring the woman all together. "I'm still hungry."

"Just going to ignore me?" The agent sat down across from me. "Mrs. Mikhailova?"

"Dr. Hohrykova." I smiled. "Can I have a pizza? I'll tell you something if I can get a pizza."

"Tell me what?" She asked. Her eyebrows wiggled like caterpillars above her deepset brown eyes.

"I'll tell you a secret." I sniffed. "I got one that I think you'll absolutely love."

"Does it involve the Russian Mafia?" Roosevelt.

"I guess you'll find out if I get that pizza." I shook the cuffs on my wrists and frowned.

"We can't do that." McKinnon said.

"Fine, get me my lawyers." I knocked on the table.

"Lawyers?" She looked confused.

"Yeah, lawyers. As in not one but six." I sighed. "Can never have too many lawyers."

"Not necessary. I just have a simple question for you." McKinnon smirked. Her smiled was cocky and crooked. She was more masculine than feminine.

"Ask." I sat up straighter in my chair and made the cuffs clink against the table a few times.

"You recognize this?" She slid an open folder across the table.

I studied the picture carefully. I recognized everyone in it right away and slowly looked back up at her. "Why are you taking pictures of my dad and step mom and siblings?"

"Because he's a Russian power player." She tapped the picture. "He is using his arms business as a front to sell illegal weapons to criminals."

"What?" I pretended to be shocked. "My dad would never do that shit! He has young kids!" I shook my head and frowned. "What does this have to do with me?"

"I know he's out to take Mikhailov's spot, but there's one slight problem with him taking over." She smiled and pointed at me. "You dear, you're the heir to the Russian Mafia."

"I am a doctor." I scoffed. "No interest in this Russian Mafia business. I'm not sure why I'd be in his way if he wanted to go after the spot. His life." I shrugged.

"No interest, yet you married a known mob boss." She placed another folder in front of me.

"I married who my parents wanted me to. It was a forced marriage." I sighed. "Can I get my lawyer in here now?"

"Sure." She smiled. "I'll get right on that for you." She left the folders and walked out of the room. Roosevelt on her heels. I knew it would be awhile before she put in a call to my lawyer. She was trying to break me but she wasn't going to get anything out of me.

SOASOASOA

Happy POV

It had been two long days. Two days without Bri by my side. I felt different. Empty almost.

"Nothing." I slammed my hands on the kitchen counter. "Fucking bullshit."

"Calm down." Kozik said. "She should be calling to get picked up any minute."

"How the fuck can you be positive through this shit?" I gave him a look. He was smirking, his arms crossed over his chest, Tacoma and Tosca asleep at his feet.

"Because is Bri. Bri!" He yelled. "She's fuckin' full of surprises. Wouldn't be shocked if she managed to kill every officer in the building before escaping. She just has power, you don't gotta worry about her too much." He bent down and scooped up Tacoma and handed her to me. "Cuddle with the puppy, it'll help you calm the fuck down."

"Whatever." I frowned and looked down at the Husky in my arms. Of course Bri would get a dog with so much goddamn fur. I held her away from me and shook my head at the fur that clinged to my black shirt. "Damn."

"We gotta go." Kozik said smacking me on the back of the head. "Jax needs us, in over his head."

"When ain't he?" I placed the puppy on the ground and did my best to shake the fur off of me.

#

It was dark out when we approached the rundown house, just outside of Oakland. I had both of my guns drawn and ready. The pistol that Bri had given me for my last birthday was tucked in the back of my jeans. The handle cool against my back as I slinked around back to breach the door.

"Move." Jax gestured with his hand and I kicked in the back door as Kozik and Chibs kicked down the front door.

"Shit." I muttered as I went down to the ground hard, my guns skittering across the floor. I looked around and saw my brothers hit the ground where they stood.

"Fuck!" I heard Jax yell. "We hit a Russian safehouse."

I looked at what he staring and there it was. Bri's family insignia staring back down at us all.

"We're friendly!" I yelled. "I know Bri." I felt the boot on my back let up a little bit.

"This one." The guy spoke, his accent thick. "Says he knows Bri."

"Test him." The other guy said. "Ask him something about her."

"What is her middle name?" He asked as he yanked me up to my feet.

"No! Idiot." The other guy said. "Something harder than that." He stepped forward and paused in front of me. "What color are her skulls eyes?"

"Grey." I smirked. I knew her tattoo all too well, before and after it was cut up. Unlike the insignia's skull, hers had eyes and they were grey very much like her own eyes were.

"Let them up." He nodded. "What doing here if you are with Bri?"

"One of your men, ran one of mine off the road today." Jax said through gritted teeth. "We followed the guy back here, we had no idea you were the Family."

"We run that guy off because he was with Bri's enemy." The guy smirked. "He needs to know not to fuck over Bri."

"Juice isn't with the enemy." I shook my head. "He's with us, well currently he's in the hospital."

"No." He glared at me. "He was with that bitch Natalie. We have orders to watch her and hurt anyone seen with her."

"Well, he's my guy!" Jax said. "He's hurt bad."

"Are you defending him?" He asked. "I can put you in hospital with him."

"Who gave you the order?" I asked him.

"Bri." He smiled. "Said to make sure the girl doesn't skip town and that anyone seen with girl get picked up or hurt."

"Fuck. Juice and his backward loyalty got him laid up." Jax hissed. "I'm sorry about this."

"I have to tell Bri." He said. "When she's out she can deal with you."

"Thanks man." Jax shook his hand. "This won't happen again."

I shook the guys hand, and went to retrieve my guns and holster them. I was upset at Jax for walking us into an avoidable situation. All he had to do was do a little digging and find out who we were trying to hit before we ran in on impulse. I was tired of taking hit because he wasn't being a leader like he was supposed to be.
