Ruth looked at Lucy as she sat against the wall. "She looks like someone killed her family." She tutted and turned towards Ralph. "This was a really bad idea." She said and he nodded. "I know." He said and looked around. "They actually believe that this is going to be a hearing, and if there was one, we know what would happen, they are going to win, no questions asked. When they find out we faked this, we are both dead." Ruth nodded and looked back to the girl as she held onto something in her hand. She looked up when she heard footsteps approach her room. "Lucy?" The voice said and she slowly turned her head and looked. "What Ralph?" She snapped and looked at him. "Here, make it fast." He said and handed her his cell phone. "I can let you call someone, not your father, but anyone else, ok?" He said and she looked at him. "Why?" She said after a few seconds. "Because I don't think you needed to be taken out of the house." He said and she held the phone in her hands. She closed her eyes and dialed.
"Hello?" A raspy voice said into the phone. "Hap?" She said quietly. "Luce? Where are you, what is going on?" He asked. "I am fine, I don't know what is going on, but I know that there is more to this." She said and sighed. "Listen, Abel gave me a note, the lady that came to the house the first time, she didn't work for the state." She said and Happy was silent. "And?" He said. "I was pretending to be asleep and Ruth said that they messed up and shouldn't of listened to Jay, and now they are going to lose their jobs." She said and Happy sighed. "But who is Jay?" He asked and she sighed. "I don't know." She said and groaned. "Shit Luce, your dad is going insane. Are you with those people?" He said and she groaned. "Yes, and they are outside the door." "Well, are you actually in custody of the sate?" He asked. "Yeah, I think it's like a half-way house." She said and he sighed. "Do you know where?" He asked. "No, we drove for a while." She said and he sighed. "Ok, listen to me, just do what they tell you, and I will relay what you told me to Rosen." He said and she nodded hitting her head against the wall. "Should I run?" She asked after a few seconds. "Shit kid, I don't know." He said and she sighed. "Fuck Hap." She muttered. "Listen I have to go, they are coming back." She said and he sighed. "Lucy you keep yourself safe, you hear me kid?" He asked and she answered with a simple "Yes, bye." She hung up the phone and looked at Ralph and Ruth.
"Come with us." She said and Lucy stood up and followed the lady. They walked over to where the door was and led her outside, it was getting dark. "Listen and don't answer and don't speak." Ralph said and looked at her. She nodded and looked up at him. "My name isn't Ralph." He said and she just looked at him. "I was working with other people, I do work for the state, yes, and everything that you just went though was protocol, it had to look official, you need to take this." He said and handed her the backpack she packed, "and this." Ruth said and handed her a small wad of cash. "And you need to get out of here, go home, and tell them, just tell them you ran away because they said Jay wanted you to." He said and she looked at him. "Who is Jay?" She questioned after a few more minutes. Ruth sighed and looked at her. "Think about it Lucy, you are very smart." She said and turned to Ralph, "We tell him the lawyer was smarter than we thought." Ralph nodded and looked at Lucy. "Why are you still here, Go!" He yelled. Lucy took a few steps back and took off running down the driveway.
Abel looked around the Redwood Table. "So basically, they have no case against Lucy." He said and looked around. Juice nodded. "When Rosen finally reached someone at CPS, they told him that he must be mistaken, they were not looking into that case." Tig looked around and pounded his fists hard against the table. "So where is Lucy?" He asked and looked at them. "Happy called me right before we came in. Lucy called him. Said she was in some kind of Half-way house, and she was fine." Abel said and looked at Tig. "Well, can you trace that call?" Jax asked and looked at Juice. "No, but I did look up some of the houses that were used." He said and looked around. "I found some things out, basically, Lucy is somewhere around three hours away towards Hollywood." He said and looked at them men. "So how do we get her back?" Tig asked looking around. "We don't, she will come to us." Abel said and looked up. Juice nodded and turned his computer around. "I gave her a tracker, in the form of a carved duck." He said. "This is where it shows her." He said and pointed to the dot on the screen. "She seems to be on foot, closest town, one mile, I expect she will call." He said and looked at Tig. Tig sat back, annoyed and impressed at the same time. "A duck?" He questioned and Juice laughed. "I was in a hurry, and it was sitting on the shelf in my dorm." He said and shrugged.
"So why did they let her go?" Bobby asked and looked at them. "That I don't know." Juice said and Abel nodded. "They really did work for the state, that is why the fooled Rosen, but I think that they got freaked when they realized how devastated Lucy was." And Juice looked around. "They wanted to save their own jobs and asses." He said and Jax nodded. "Think she is going to call Happy?" He asked and looked at them. "That is if she can figure out how to use a pay phone." Chibs said and cracked a smile. "Go bring in the phones." Jax said and looked at his son. Abel nodded and walked away. He grabbed the old cigar box that held the phones and walked inside. "So do we sit here and wait?" Bobby asked grabbing his phone and passing it along. "Yes, we have other business to discuss." He said and looked around.
Lucy didn't feel like running anymore. She was ready to give up. She noticed lights from a town. She pushed herself and ran. "It is so late, I hope someone is open." She said and her stomach rumbled. She walked into the town and it reminded her a lot of Charming. She walked around and noticed a diner open twenty-four hours. She walked inside and looked at the lady at the register. The woman offered her a small smile. "What can I get yah dear?" She asked as Lucy sat down at the counter. "Coffee, and some soup please." Lucy said and looked at her. The woman nodded and turned to grab the coffee. "Where you running for dear?" She questioned. "I am running back home." She said and the woman smiled. "You seem like you are far from home." She looked at her. "I am, but shit, do you a phone or something?" She asked. "We do, over there." She said and pointed to where there was a phone against the wall. "Dial 9 before you call." She yelled after her. "What is this town called?" Lucy asked and looked at her holding the phone in her hand. The woman smiled and looked at her. "This here is McArthur." She said and Lucy nodded. "Thank you." She said and pressed nine and dialed.
"Hello?" The voice said and Lucy grinned. "Hi daddy!" She was so happy to hear his voice. "Baby girl, shit, where are you at?" He asked into the phone. "Some small ass town daddy, shit, come get me!" She said and Tig grinned. "What town yah in baby?" He asked and she sighed. "It is called McArthur." She said and he looked around. "I will have Juice get directions baby." He said and smiled. "What did they tell you?" He asked and Lucy sighed. "Not much, gave me about one grand and told me to run, run and don't look back." She said and Tig groaned. "I can't believe we fell for that I am going to kill Rosen." He snapped. "Stop daddy, it isn't his fault. He was doing his job. It really looked like it was real." She said and he sighed. "We are going to leave now." He said and she sighed. "K, see you then" She said and hung up the phone.
Juice already knew where she was and was relaying directions to Abel and the rest of the guys. "Ok, so Tig, Chibs, Abel, and Juice," Jax said and looked around. "Go get Lucy," He said and looked at Opie and Bobby, "We are going up to Lodi." He said and they nodded. Pounding the gravel everyone took off to their respective vehicles and climbed on taking off. Tig couldn't drive fast enough. He didn't think that he was every going to get to his daughter. Nodding to the other men to stop for gas they pulled over. Abel swiped his card and looked around. He picked up phone out of his pocket. "Yeah?" He asked. "Hey man, listen, don't let on it's me." Happy said into the phone. "What's up?" He asked. "Listen, I am going to stop somewhere, looking into that Kenny shit, think I found some stuff out." He said and Abel sighed. "Ok call me later." He said and hung up the phone. Abel sighed loudly and climbed back on his bike. He waited for everyone else to finish before they took off again.
"So that is why the egg came before the chicken." Lucy was saying looking at the woman as she poured her more coffee. "No way kid, that is not true." The woman said and shook her head. Lucy took a bit out of the sandwich she was eating. "You are crazy." She said and smiled at Lucy. Lucy grinned. "So, you father…" She said looked at her. "Oh, dad, he's great." Lucy said and smiled. "You must really love your dad huh?" She asked and looked at her. "Yeah, I do, he's my only family, he even let my boyfriend… I think he's my boyfriend… anyway he even let him move in with me." Lucy said and smiled. "Well, that is really good." The woman said and turned to look at the clock. "When are they going to be here?" She asked and looked at Lucy. "Oh, I am not sure how long it will take." She said and shrugged. The woman smiled. "Its three in the morning, why don't you go sleep in a booth." She said and Lucy nodded. "Sure, thank you so much." She said and smiled. Lucy grabbed two hundred dollars and handed the money to the woman. "Oh no dear, I couldn't possibly…" She stuttered out. Lucy shook her head and smiled. "Please, you listened to me, and you have to listen to me sleep, Abel says I talk." Lucy laughed. The woman smiled and took the money.
Lucy walked over to the booth in the back and curled up. She felt the woman as she draped a table cloth over her, "It's not much, but you will keep warm." She said and watch as sleep over took the small girl. A few customers came and went, Lucy never waking up once. She cleaned and was in the process of sweeping up her shift was about to end in a few hours, she stopped when she heard Lucy mumble, "No, I don't want the stupid duck!" The woman smiled to herself and snapped her head up when she heard the sound of motorcycles, that was weird in the small town. She stood back near Lucy as four men walked into the diner. "Can I help you?" She asked her back to Lucy. Tig grinned she was a very good looking woman. "My daughter called from here." He said and looked at her. The woman moved and walked up to him. She looked at his face and instantly saw he was not lying. "She is asleep." She said and waived them towards the back booth. Tig smiled and leaned over her. "Lucy baby, wake up." He said and ran his fingers though her hair. He watched as she stirred. "Daddy!" She gasped shooting up and throwing her arms around him. He stood there and held her and pulled away. He stepped back and watched as she looked at Abel.
Lucy jumped in his arms. Tig stood there and watch them kiss gently. He watched her relax in his arms. The woman smiled. She set her arm on Tig's shoulder. "That little girl yakked my ear off for a few hours, she loves you, she adores you actually." She smiled. "Thank you, for letting her stay here." He smiled at her. He turned and watch as she thanked Juice and hugged him, then Chibs. "Do you guys want anything to drink or eat or anything?" She asked and looked at her. Tig glanced around at every and nodded. "That'd be great." Tig said and offered a smile.
They all sat down and she brought Lucy some more coffee. "So, what did I miss?" She questioned at them. "Nothing Luce, just trying to get back to you." Abel said and she nodded. "Have you guys figured out who this Jay person is?" She asked looking at her dad. "No, not yet, we are working on it." Juice said and grinned as the woman handed them food. Lucy yawned loudly and sat her head on Abel's shoulder. "I am so tired." She said and smiled. Abel looked at her and she did look exhausted. "You gotta ride back on the bike baby, drink lots of coffee." He said and she smiled. "Ok." She said and took some more sips of coffee. "You riding with me babe?" Abel asked looking at her while Tig and the woman spoke at the register. "Yeah." She nodded and followed him outside. "Ok babe, let's get you home." He smiled and they walked out side.
