26.

Tara was terrified but she knew she had to keep it together for the girls. She nodded at them to hopefully understand she wanted them to stay calm. When they were tossed around a bit and thrown into the van that hit them she asked them if they were okay. They both replied yes. She tried to talk to them and the guy sitting in the passenger seat took his gun and smashed Tara in the face with it. "Shut up." he yelled.

Tara's head exploded with stars in her eyes but she was able to stay awake. She watched as both Lisa and Lyla tried their best to not cry, but she could see their eyes with tears. They all stayed quiet and they got to where they were being taken. The men roughly pulled them out more so her than the others.

"What do you want?" she finally had the nerve to ask.

"Shut your mouth bitch. I will tell you when I'm ready." the man yelled slapping her once more. She could feel her face starting to swell but tried to shake off the pain.

"You?" she head Lyla say.

"This isn't my plan but I get what I want none the less." he said smirking at Lyla.

"You will have to kill me." she shouted at him.

"That can be arranged" another man came in and said with an accent.

"Who are you?" Tara yelled.

"Oh Ms. Knowles, I have never had the privilege of meeting you before. I am an old friend of your old mans."

"You are no friend. He will kill you for this." she yelled again.

"We will see. Now I know who you two are. You are the one I want to meet." He said walking in front of Lisa.

Tara glanced over at her trying to let her know to stay calm.

"Why?" she asked.

"I saw you and knew right then and there you were going to be mine."
"Never. I belong to Happy. Do you know who Happy is? He will tear you limb from limb."

"He would have to find me first sweetheart." he said taking his fingers and caressing her face.

Lisa jerked her face away.

He stood up. He looked over at Tara. "So what I need from you is where Jax is getting his other guns since he doesn't want them from us anymore."

"He's not." she bit out.

"Oh Tara, Tara. I want the truth." he said punching her in the face again.

"I'm telling you the truth." she said and he punched her again. She knew she wasn't going to be able to stay alert much longer. She felt as if he broke her cheek bone and the pain was so bad.

"Please leave her be." she heard Lisa say in her soft voice.

He turned to her and went over. "Are you going to be nice?" he asked her. It took a moment and she looked at him and nodded her head.

"Good." he nodded to the guy standing there. "Bring her to my room." he said.

Lisa looked over at Tara and Tara was crying now. She hated that Lisa was doing this to protect her.

Lisa stood up and let them lead her to another room. This man wasn't there yet so she looked around the room to find something to defend herself. There was no way she was letting anyone else touch her.

"Hey, have you seen the women?" Jax asked Happy.

"No and they should have been here by now."

"Lyla isn't answering her phone." Opie said.

"Let's go." Jax said as he practically ran to his bike. They were all three on their way to find their women. Not knowing where to look they decided to take the route Tara was taking in picking them up.

Before they got to the first stop though Jax got a call.

"You found it where?" they heard him say into the phone.

"I'll be right there. Yeah, just a moment away." he said then closed his phone.

"They found Tara's car. It's been wrecked. No one inside."

They took off following Jax.

Once there they searched the car and the surrounding area. Luckily no blood was found. Happy was looking around to where the other car that hit them would've been when he found a small card laying on the ground.

"Jax." he said and Jax hurried over to him. He handed the card to Jax.

"Fuck." he yelled out. "The Irish." he said.

"How are we going to find them?" Opie asked.

"I need to call Maureen Hansby, she may be able to help. She was a friend of the club over in Ireland."

"Let's get to it." Happy said trying to contain the anger he was feeling toward the Irish.

"Yeah, Maureen I'm hoping you can help me."
"Anytin ya need Jackie." she said into the phone. He told her what happened and she got quiet. "Your da always wanted tha' I'm happy ta see ya did it. Let me check I will get back to ya." she said and hung up.

"She's going to check into it." he said.

"How long?" Happy said impatiently.

"I don't know, but she knows how serious this is. I don't expect it to be long."

They went back to the clubhouse to call church. They needed all the guys ready. Once they walked out Jax's phone rang.

"Yeah. Okay, thanks Maureen." he said.

"She told me who has them and where they would probably be. It's the only safe house they had here in Charming."

"Let's go." Happy said striding to his bike.

Once they took Lisa out of the room the man who wanted Lyla went over and knocked Tara out. Then he came after her. She tried her best to fight him but he managed to take her to another room.

Lisa had found a sharp instrument on the nightstand and hid it under her shirt. She tensed when she heard him walk into the room.

"I want you to take your clothes off." he said.

"I really don't want to do this." she said.

"I really don't give a shit. I told you, you are going to be mine." he said walking closer to her. Once he was close enough he ripped her shirt away from her body. She tried to stab him with the object but he was too quick. Before she knew it she felt a sharp pain enter her chest. She passed out the pain was too intense. Her last thoughts before passing out was praying that Happy still wanted her after this man violated her. He laughed as he saw she was out cold. He proceeded to strip her of all of her clothes. He wanted a look at the beauty in all her glory. He was beginning to strip his own clothes when the door burst open.

"Happy" Jax called knowing Happy would want to take care of this himself. Happy came running into the room and proceeded to beat on this man. Once the man was out he went over and grabbed a blanket and put it over Lisa. He saw the wound in her chest. He picked her up and carried her out. Shouting at Jax that he was taking her to the hospital. By this time they had all of the ladies and left their brothers to finish up there while they took care of their women.

Happy had never felt this pain before. Seeing the woman he loved hurt like this. She had to be alright, he kept repeating over and over.
