CHAPTER 35

Cherry turned into aisle 9 of the supermarket, cart filled to the brim with food. Nobody had much time to shop these days. Tara had been missing a week now and everyone was on edge over it. The guys spent all their time in church going over strategies, obsessing over maps and possible locations. Gemma wasn't doing much better, she cooked and took care of Abel as best she could but Abel need his mother. And Jax needed his fiancé back.

Hell they all needed Tara back. The clubhouse was lonely now, desolate, filled with fear, anger,, and anxiety. There had been no lead on Salazar and they'd become desperate. Cherry was terrified. She and Lyla both. Cherry shuddered when she thought of what might be happening to Tara at this very moment. Kohn had her, o f that everyone was sure, and that he was still here, maybe not in Charming, but close. Tara was close. And Jax was in pieces. He kept it to himself, but Cherry could see it. He was completely lost without Tara, he wasn't sleeping. Half Sack had mentioned that he'd been taking a lot of night rides lately. He was anxious and terrified

Cherry turned her cart into aisle 8 and jumped in surprise. "Well how the fuck am i supposed to know what they eat?!" A man in black vest was shouting at someone on the phone. Stitched to his back was the Mayan patch. "Listen Hector, He's your boss! Not ours, you work for him so you go get his fucking baby food. We just kidnapped someone for him, and that was it! I'm done with this shit, We already grabbed the girl, and he needs to pay us for it." he paused for a second, listening to the voice on the other side of the line. "Yeah" he grunted in response. "I'll be back soon."

Cherry darted around the corner breathing hard. Hector as in Hector Salazar! And the man they were working for, that had to be Kohn!" It was then that she realized what this meant. She'd found Tara.

Cherry raced outside to where Half Sack waited for her. He noticed her panicked expression and jumped out of the car.

"Babe? What is it what's wrong?"

"I know where she is-" Cherry stammered "Tara-I found her"

Within moments Half Sack had called for backup. 10 minutes later Jax, Clay, Tig, Bobby, Chibbs and Alvarez had come roaring into the lot.

Jax almost forgot to put the kickstand down before racing over to Half Sack and Cherry.

"Where is he?" Jax demanded.

"Jax slow down we don-t"

"WHERE IS HE?"

Clay grabbed him by the shoulders. "you need to calm the fuck down son! You wanna get her back we need to think this through ya?"

Jax nodded in reservation.

"We're not gonna grab him." Clay said "not yet."

"We're gonna tail him" Jax echoed.

Bobby nodded "And he'll lead us straight to where they're keeping Tara."

Half Sack and Tig agreed to stay and post guard while the rest raced back to the clubhouse to drop Cherry off and grab extra firepower and nondescript cars.

The ride back to the compound was tense to say the least.

"Jax" Gemma shouted as he jumped out of the car and hurried towards the clubhouse "What is it? What happened?! Tara is she-"

"I'm gonna go get her ma"

"Wha-"

"Take care of Abel for me."

"You know I will"

"Where is he?"

"Upstairs in your room. he-he just woke up!"

Jax tore up the stairs, he didn't have long.

"Daddy!"

"Hey Buddy!" he scooped his squirming son into his arms.

"Where's Mommy?"

"I'm gonna go pick her up little man. I promise"

Abel watched him with curios eyes. "Ok Daddy" he said softly.

"You be good for Grandma ok?'

Abel agreed.

"I love you Daddy"

"I love you too"

He heard Gemma approaching from behind. She took Abel from him. Jax looked at her thoughtfully.

"I don't kno-"

Gemma stopped him

"Go bring my daughter home."
