Chapter 29

Jax rides slowly back to the hotel where everyone is waiting for him. How is he going to face everyone knowing that not only does he don't have any word on Thomas but now he has no clue were his wife his. As he pulls his bike into a parking spot, turns of the engine. Jax licks his lips and can still taste her on him, Can still smell her shampoo in her hair, can still see the look of complete trust and faith in her eyes before she turned around and left. For the first time Jax doubted himself, worried about his family in this life. Children and Old ladies were supposed to be off-limits at that thought Jax quickly wiped his eyes from what ever tear was starting to form. He stood up from his bike, faced the building, swallowed hard and headed in. If he had any hope in getting his family back he was going to need everyone's help, Including the people he despised the most!

Before Jax was completely in the door he was bomb boarded by every man and woman in the room.

"Did you find Thomas?" Gemma asked first.

"What did the priest say?" Bobby said next. Jax just stood there like a deer in head lights.

"WAIT!" Came from a voice from the back of the room, hidden by a tall men in leather. Who pushed her way up. "Jackson, where the hell is Tara?" Donna demanded. The room went quiet and everyone held their breath waiting for Jax to answer. After a few moments Jax finally found his voice.

"She is with Thomas. That is all I know." Jax choked out.

"Jackson, What do you mean? Donna said with fumes coming from all her orifices.

"The priest promised she would not be harmed." Jax said more to convince hisself than anyone else.

"YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!" Donna attacked Jaxs who stood there as Donna wailed on him before she was pulled off.

"Donna, calm down." Opie said.

"TELL HIM!" Donna pierced her lips and folded her arms.

"Tell me what?" Jax asked

"Jackie Boy we just got a call from my nephew and we have a problem?" Chibs started looking at Jaxs who was growing more concerned. "Jackie Boy, McGee and O'Neil are in bed with Jimmy. And one of the other members of SAMBEL over heard them say something about a orphanage and free passage out of the country." Chibs finished. You could watch the color completely drain from Jaxs face down his neck. If Jimmy found Tara and Thomas before they did things could end bad. SAMBEL had already promised that McGee and O'Neil was going to be dealt with but they had to be found first.

KNOCK KNOCK

Everyone jumped at the sound, The news and knowledge of what could happen was fiercely on their minds. As the door opened the shock was becoming greater. There in the door way was the priest, Chibs old lady Fiona, his daughter Kerrianne, A blonde Gemma recognized as Maureen and a woman no one knew. She was a petite red-head with blue eyes named Trinity.

"What the hell is going on?" Gemma stomped.

"I'm sorry, I just got word when we got back and SAMBEL told us the girls where in danger." The priest explained.

"My girls!" Chibs cried out not ashamed to show any feelings.

"You wanted proof of Jimmy's loyalty, well now my wife and son are in danger if anything happens to them so help me God I will kill you myself!" Jax seethed out through his teeth.

"Jackson, I am not supposed to tell you this." Donna said very softly now.

"She's pregnant ain't she?" Gemma said. Everyone turned to look at Donna. Who was so nervous now all she could do was shake her head.

"How did you know?" Jaxs questioned.

"Have you not looked at your wife, really looked at her lately?" Gemma responded both pissed and worried.

"No." Jaxs shaking his head. " I have not, the past couple weeks have been a blur and I failed as a husband." Jaxs sat on the bed and put his head into his knees, trying to remember more than her lips and eyes at the church. He closed his eyes hard and he could an image of her entire body came into view. Her clothing were fitting a little tighter, her breast looked like they could pop out of her bra and poke an eye out, her cheeks looked a little more round, there was a sparkle in her eye. Jax just figured it was the stress of Thomas and everything else had happened.

"Jaxs there is something else," Donna piped up once more pulling Jax out of his trans. "She never got to see the results, you both left to go meet the good priest here before the results were ready!" Donna said sarcastically scowling at the priest who caused all this.

"Jesus Christ." Jax jumped up."If she don't know she may do something crazy, put herself in danger to save Thomas. I don't know what she would do." Jax confused. There was a worried look on the faces of everyone in the room including those who had only joined what seemed growing group.

"Jaxs we have to get moving." The priest said. "I am sorry son, I didn't know?"

"You better hope she is alright, I am already going to hell and have no problem taking a damn priest with me." Gemma said spitting on the priest. Heading to the door.

"No mom, your staying here. We will go get my family. I need you here heading things up." Jax said as he reached out for his mother kissing her on the cheek before he walked out the door followed by every available man. Gemma did not argue when she saw the pleading in Jackson's eyes.

Mean While Back At The Orphanage...

It had been a couple of hours since Tara was reunited with Thomas. The Nuns had set her up in one of the few rooms that was clear of rows and rows of babies. Tara was laying on the bed when she heard a commotion from down stairs. She held Thomas tighter willing to die before someone took him again. Tears fell down her cheeks as the fear grew stronger and noise got closer. Tara listened as the heavy foot steps etched closer and doors opening and closing got closer. Suddenly the foot steps stopped which Tara could only imagine in front of her door. The door knob wiggled and Tara felt as if she was going to vomit not knowing what was on the other side of the door. The door creeped open and Tara became relaxed when she saw the tall older Irish man in a SAMBEL vest, she was safe, she was going home so Tara thought. She stood up from the bed and walked over to the man who seemed genuine.

"Aye, what do we have here brother." A man dressed in a suit walks in past the member, causing Tara to back up to the wall grasping Thomas in her arms. "Mr. Tellers old lady and his wee one? Well ain't this just going my way today!" Jimmy grimaced.

"You are betrayed your club?" Tara said looking at McGee. "WHY?"

"Lassie you wouldn't understand." McGee said as sadness shadowed his eyes.

"I understand when Jax finds you, you will die!" Tara hissed out.

"Load them both up, looks like we get a safe passage and a pay." Jimmy ordered.

"We are not going anywhere with you?" Tara said ready to fight.

"Aye, and were will that get you?" Jimmy asked. "Here I will tell you, I will kill your son, I will kill Jaxs and when I am done I will find that pretty little girl of yours and do the same. So you will come or live and watch everything you hold dear die." Tara stood there in shock how could a man be so malice? so cold? so heartless? Tears ran down Tara's eyes and she followed the men out. She would do anything for her family even if it meant she died for them. Tara knew deep inside Jax would soon find her and she would soon be home this nightmare would finally end.

Every second closer to the orphanage Jaxs got the knot in his stomach grew larger and larger, something just did not feel right to Jax and as soon as they pulled into the innocent seeming house Jax was the first one-off his bike and inside. There were babies screaming and no adults not one in sight. Jax heart began to race as he entered a small hallway that led to some stairs. But instead of heading up the stairs Jax was taken back a few steps. Jax had found the adults. There were 4 men who where shot in the head laying on the steps with the nuns tied to them and gagged. On each of the woman's faces was covered in the blood of the men they were tied too. The sight was sicking and UN-holy. Jax feared Jimmy was unhinged and a fait much worse was waiting for his the rest of members caught up with Jax they were just as sickened and disgusted.

"Where is Tara?" the priest asked one of the crying nuns as he took the gag out of her mouth.

"He has her and the babe!" The nun cried. "He said there is a message in her room for you!" Jax wasted no time and climbed the bodies of the men up the stairs and swung open every door till he got to the very last one at the end of the hallway.

There in blood was written a number. A number to what Jax could only believe was a burner phone to Jimmy.

"Jackie Boy, we will get them back." Chibs came up behind him seeing the look of destruction on his face. "THey are fine and alive, just keep the faith, Aye"

Bobby came up behind them and pulled out his own burner phone and dialed the number and handed Jax the phone. As the phone rang Jax reached into his pocket and pulled out his cigarettes and lit it up.

"That did not take long!" Jimmy answered the phone.

"Where is my family?" Jax asked praying that they were fine.

"Aye, that pretty little dark hair las is sitting right here. I can't see why you would ever let her anywhere from your side." Jimmy teased.

"You touch a hair on her head I will slice your throat!" Jax was now yelling into the phone.

"Oh Jackson, the hair on her head was not I am interested in." Jimmy smiled. Then Jax could here a struggle and then a scream. "You stupid Gash." Jimmy screamed, then a sound that made Jax heart sink into his stomach, Tara, his Tara screaming in pain.

"You want this dumb bitch and your kid back boyo you will meet us at the peer in 2 hours unarmed with the priest and a million American dollars. If I see anyone else she and your boy dies!" Jimmy warned him before the line went dead.

Ok, Ladies I know this was a rough scene for me to write. After watching the premier it became much tougher for me to write. I didn't want Tara to go back to the states and be kidnapped so I just wrote it here. So hang in there things are about to get a little rocky!
