Thank you! Your reviews and PM's have been so awesome. I look forward to each and every one of them. And here we are. It's that moment, the moment we find out who that traitor is. Some of you have guessed, let's see if you're right. Next chapter, we find out just how much the traitor suffers at Happy's hand.

So here we go!

Chapter 37

Happy watched Tara as she pushed people aside.

"Jaaaxxxx, Jaaxxx!" Tara screamed as she practically fell out the door in a panic.

Jax jumped up instantly rushing to Tara. Happy not seeing Melissa with her raced behind him. Something was wrong.

"Happy, Melissa..in the.. bathroom hallway," Tara was trying to catch her breath. "Guy had her in the-"

Happy didn't wait to hear more before he slammed the door open and pushed into the clubhouse, shoving anyone in his way aside. Most who were close enough and saw the look on his face tried to move but weren't fast enough. Finally clearing the crowd he ran down the hall. It was so damn dark you could barely see. He saw Lee first, hand on his gun, step in front of Melissa. When Lee recognized it was him, he put his gun away.

"Found her out here like this, sent the crow eater to get you. Didn't want to leave her here alone." Lee told him.

Happy nodded at his old president and friend. Stepping closer to Melissa he noticed the blood on her mouth running down her face. Her eyes had that terrified unfocused look, so he knew he'd have to be calm and easy with her. But everything in him screamed grab her and make her tell him what happened.

Behind him he heard Jax and Tara.

"Melissa, tell me what happened." Happy coaxed.

She turned her eyes to him and stepped closer but stopped. "He was here."

"Who, sweetheart? Who was here?"

"HIM, the one who raped me, betrayed my family." She whispered and a tear slid down, followed by another. Anger flashed through Happy instantly.

"When I came out of the bathroom...someone came behind me...slammed me against the wall…I couldn't breath or move..my head was pressed to the wall…"

"That's how I found him when I came out. He was wearing a hoody jacket, I couldn't see his face. He ran into the crowd out there when I yelled and pushed him." Tara told them.

"There's no way now we can find anyone if they went out there, look how long it took us to just get back here, not counting how long it took Tara to get to us. We got to do something." Jax was talking fast, trying to come up with a plan.

Happy reached for Melissa, "Are you sure it was him?"

Anger flashed and died in her eyes, "Yes, said the same things to me that he said when he attacked me. Only he'd know them, it wasn't on the video. I remember every word." She softly told him.

Fighting the urge to run out to the front and drag everyone out there one by one out and beat them until he found the fucker who'd done this he wrapped his arms around her holding her close. Feeling her tremble he knew he should get her to his room. Turning with her he started to head out to the front so they could go on back to his room. She wouldn't budge though.

"I can't go out there." She told him. He understood, but she was going to have to do it.

Whispering in her ear so only she could hear, "Come on sweetheart, I won't let anyone touch you. I'm gonna take you to my dorm." When she nodded they started down the hall. When she got to the crowd, him, Jax, and Lee made a path for her and Tara to get through. Kozik and Chibs must have caught sight of them because they were behind them.

Just as they got to his room Shep came running down the hall.

"What the fuck's going on! Some crow eater came and got me, said she couldn't find Happy and something had happened to his Old Lady." Shep stopped when he came inside the room, walked to Melissa and lifted her chin.

"Sweet M, you okay?" He quietly asked, relaxing some when she nodded yes.

Happy explained what happened to Shep, Kozik, and Chibs. They asked Melissa and Tara a few more questions. Hap was doing everything he could to stay calm but it was a hard job. He was burning with anger and knew there wouldn't be much to be done tonight. They were going to go back out into the clubhouse and see what they could find out. But the motherfucker had picked the perfect night to slip in unnoticed and have access to Melissa. The thought of slamming his fists into everyone out front until someone talked still held a certain appeal.

"I need to clean my face." Melissa told him, breaking into his thoughts. He followed her into the bathroom and closed the door behind them. She turned and wrapped her arms around his waist pressing against him. Hap smoothed her hair back from her face and tilted it up so he could look at her. Leaning down he kissed the side that wasn't bloody.

"Are you hurt anywhere else?" He asked as he got a wet cloth to clean her lips. Handing it to her and watching her shake her head no while she wiped the blood away.

"I'm fine, just a little shaken up. Happy, I couldn't move, all I wanted to do was turn around and see his face, finally see who it was." She let out a frustrated sigh, "Why won't my mind just work like it should and let me remember it, remember him?"

He could see her getting agitated and reached out to take her hand, pulling her between his legs. "I know. We're gonna find him. I'm gonna leave you in here and go out front with Jax and the guys. You stay here until I come back." Hap hugged her and kissed her forehead.

Not knowing what else to say he eased her away from him and she followed him out into the room. Kozik and Lee stayed in the room with Melissa. Tara had went with the guys to try and help since she had seen the guys hoodie and his height and build.

It was about two hours before Happy got back to his room. They hadn't found the fucker and no one had seen anyone come from that hallway wearing a hoody. The only thing they had found was the hoody in the men's bathroom on the other side of the clubhouse. The son of a bitch had been waiting for an open window to get at her. Happy had wanted to take her back to his house, but knew that if one person here was all he had to worry about it was safer than being isolated and it be just him to protect her. At least here there were some that he trusted without a doubt.

-xx-

Kozik looked over at Melissa, she'd fallen asleep and he reached over to pull a cover over her. He was glad she was okay. When her and Happy had came back from his house Koz had noticed that Hap didn't have that crazy wild look in his eyes anymore. Whatever had been going on with him, and Koz had a slight idea what it'd been, well it seemed to have been worked out. Happy making Melissa his Old Lady, it made Kozik happy for his friend. She was good for him, just the same as he was good for her. Hopefully sometime he'd find a good woman. He was getting tired of the constant cycle of women. Having a bitch look at him like Melissa looked at Happy would be a nice thing.

"She's a looker." Lee said.

"Yeah, Hap will have his hands full keeping assholes away from her. She's nice though, smart as fuck. Melissa's good for Happy."

"Never thought Killer would end up with an Old Lady, but I guess when the right woman comes along it changes that. I've heard good things about Shep and Loken's sister, but they kept her pretty much in El Paso. Now I can see why. So, tell me a little more about what's going on and how Hap met her." The Tacoma president asked Kozik.

By the time Kozik had gave Lee a brief explanation of what had happened to Melissa and how Happy had met her, the older man stared at Melissa in shock.

"Jesus Christ." He breathed.

Happy came in looking pissed off. When he saw Melissa sleeping, he motioned for him and Lee to step outside.

"You find anything?" He asked Hap.

"Only the fucking hoody in the trashcan. Nobody saw a damn thing." Happy grunted.

"You and your girl need to stay here. More of us around to keep an eye out." Lee told him.

"Thanks man. We are, can't risk being isolated and having no back up." Hap said. "Thanks for staying with her in the hall."

Kozik watched Lee hug Happy and slap him on the back, "No thanks need. Let me know if you need anything. I'll catch you in the morning boys." He said as he walked off.

"She say anything else." Happy asked him.

"No, seemed to be thinking mostly. Then fell asleep." Kozik told him.

"Pushing herself to remember."

"If you need me, I'll be next door." He thumbed the room next to Hap's. "Gonna go find me some company then head to bed." He smirked and turned to head off.

"Koz." Happy called.

Turning around Kozik looked at him.

"Thanks, for looking after her, not just tonight."

"Anytime man. You know I'm here for ya brother. Her too, she's my friend." Kozik told Happy honestly, walking back and hugging him before heading back out front.

-xx-

Happy took off his clothes and eased onto the bed next to Melissa. He knew he would wake her up, but he needed to hear her say she was okay. Then he would let her go back to sleep.

"You didn't find anything, did you?" Her sleepy voice asked.

"No, just the hoody." He sighed, pulling her into his arms.

Pushing back from him she sat up, Hap thought she may have been upset, but she was just taking her clothes off before she settled back against him.

"You okay? You need to talk about it?" He questioned, not sure if he was prepared for it if she did.

"I'm fine. I don't need to talk. I told you everything he said, there wasn't anymore. It was almost an exact repeat of the night he assaulted me. He was taunting me."

"If anything changes, you tell me." He made her look at him.

"I will." She was quiet after that before she caught him by surprise. "Hap, do you think it would be weird if I asked you to fool around with me. You know, take my mind off wha-"

Happy didn't let her finish before his lips found hers. Her arms slid around his neck and she deepened the kiss. Fuck, Hap never would have thought kissing would have turned him on so much. Hearing her moan when he sucked on her neck made him smile against her skin. If she wanted to take her mind off of what had went down tonight, well then, he was just the man to do it.

With his hand resting lightly on her crow tattoo, Hap relaxed into the bed. Melissa was exhausted and asleep against him. He could tell when she started to dream, she got restless and moved a lot, even talked softly. Listening closely to try and hear what she said he was a little surprised to hear her repeating just a few words like she was describing something. They really weren't' meaningful to him but maybe if he asked her about them in the morning she'd know what they meant.

The rest of the night she slept restlessly, got up a few times and paced around. Happy just watched her, didn't want to interrupt whatever she was trying to work through. When she calmed back down she'd get back in bed and snuggle into him before falling asleep again. He'd even heard her whisper that she loved him, he held her closer after that.

Sleeping lightly he heard a soft knock at the door the next morning. Getting up and pulling on a pair of sweats, he opened the door to find Loken standing there. Looking over his shoulder to make sure Melissa was covered first, he pushed the door open wider. It was something her brothers did after something happened to her, needed to see her. Hap understood, they needed to know she was okay.

Loken walked over to the bed and stared down at her. Happy could see love and concern in his eyes. Turning back around he headed back to the door, "Let her sleep. When you're up, come find me. Need to talk." Shutting the door behind him, he was gone.

Heading to the shower he waited for her to wake up. When Hap came out of the bathroom Melissa was sitting up in the bed wearing one of those lacy top things that drove him crazy.

"Hi." She smiled a tired smile at him. "I know I slept but I'm tired. I might just eat some breakfast and then come back and try to sleep some more."

"Sounds good." Hap said as he sat down on the bed with her. "You talked in your sleep last night. Kept repeating the same words over and over."

"I don't remember that. What were they?"

"Eagle, Rose, Candle, and Wolf. You said them all night. Sound familiar?"

He watched her repeat them to herself, "I don't know what they mean."

"It'll come to you." He leaned over and kissed her. "Better get dressed and come on before it's all gone. Oh, Loken got in this morning."

They were just getting ready to head out when a knock on the door came. Happy opened it this time to find both Shep and Loken standing there.

-xx-

Melissa watched her brothers stand in the doorway, they had that big brother talk time look on their faces.

"Need to talk to Melissa, won't take long. We'll bring her out when we're done." Shep said, "If that's okay with you."

Happy looked over and her and nodded before closing the door behind him on his way out.

"Well, let me see it." Loken said.

She didn't have to ask what he was talking about, already knew.

"You told him?" She asked Shep.

Before Shep could answer Loken did, "No, he didn't. Happy called and told me."

Lifting her shirt she let them both look at the crow tattoo. Shep had already seen it but he really looked at it now.

"It's nice. He did a good job. You like it?" Loken asked.

"I think it's beautiful. He wouldn't let me see the sketch or anything until it was finished. I had no idea what it was going to be."

"Guess that means you'll be staying in Charming." Shep said.

"Yeah, but he said when he is off on a long run, I can come to El Paso and stay with you guys if I want to. I thought that was a pretty good idea."

"It is a good one. You know we're gonna have to have another talk with him, right. I mean, being an Old Lady is different than just being his girl." Loken said, both of the smirking at her.

"Geez you two, give the man a break." She fussed at them, knowing they weren't going to listen to her.

"Nope, not where you're concerned. You ever need us for anything, you just call. Now want to tell us about last night." Shep asked.

After she had finished talking to them the all got ready to head out to the front, "Hey, does Eagle, Rose, Candle, and Wolf mean anything to you?" She asked her brothers.

"No why?"

"Happy said I kept repeating it in my sleep last night."

"Doesn't bring anything to mind." Loken said.

"Something's pulling at my mind and it's right there, I just can't grasp it." She sighed. "After I eat I'm gonna come and try to get some more sleep."

-xx-

Happy knew when her brothers came out with her that they had something on their minds. And that something was him.

Melissa sat down beside him and he put his arm across her shoulder she rested her hand on his thigh. Before long her fingers were stroking back and forth and she looked tired.

"I'm gonna go sleep for a while. Oh, and my brothers are determined to have another brotherly talk with you. I tried to talk them out of it, but they're stubborn, like someone else I know." She squeezed his thigh when she said the last part.

"I figured they would, could tell they had something on their mind when they came out. Go ahead and sleep, I gotta go to the warehouse and do some things for Jax. I'll send Kozik or a prospect back. Call me if you need me." Hap motioned for a prospect to follow her.

Rubbing his leg before she stood up, "Okay. See you later."

Nodding at her as she got up and left Hap waited for the brothers. It didn't take long.

"Hap. Let's take a ride." Shep said with Loken standing next to him.

Getting up and heading over to his bike he motioned for them to follow him. They ended up at Hap's house, sitting on the porch drinking beers and smoking. They gave him the if you hurt her we kill you, keep your dick in your pants or we kill you, and if they heard from anyone that he was doing any of those things they'd kill him. He assured them that he had no intentions of treating her bad or cheating. It was the honest truth too.

After that was settled they all headed up to the warehouse. Most of the other clubs that had came in would be leaving this evening as part of the run. SAMCRO, El Paso, and Tacoma would leave in two days.

-xx-

Sitting up in bed, Melissa felt the sob catch in her throat as she scrambled to get to the bathroom. Bending over the toilet she vomited while she cried. When she was done she laid in the floor sobbing. It couldn't have been him. It had finally happened, she'd seen the face, heard his voice clearly, knew who it was. The Eagle, Rose, Candle, and the Wolf, she knew they were tattoos and who they belonged to. All along it had been him. He'd tortured her, beat her, raped her, and allowed others to do almost all those things to her. They wanted her dead. He had tried to kill her. He had betrayed her brothers and the club. That just made her cry harder. It was hard to pick which emotion she felt the deepest, hurt, betrayal, rage, anger, terror, heartbreak. They were all so mixed up she had no clue which one felt worse, it made her sob until her throat and lungs hurt.

Getting up and heading back to the bed she sat there. Shaking, crying, trying not to be sick again took everything she had in her. It was after midnight and Happy wasn't here. She needed him. He'd take her to her brothers. Trying to calm herself down she stared at the table beside the bed, her phone and gun were there. Standing up and wiping her face she knew what she had to do.

-xx-

They'd been in Chapel for over an hour, and still nothing was decided. It was late and they were tired. Jax was talking when the door slammed open.

Happy looked over to see Melissa standing there. He knew in his gut something was wrong, it was obvious she had been crying and her body had a slight nervous shake to it.

"Happy, take me to Shep, now. Please." She almost cried, her eyes finding his. Before he could stand up or say anything, everyone at the end of the table sucked in a breath.

"Sweet Melissa. Are you planning on shootin' Shep with that gun?" Tig asked her calmly.

Happy looked over and sure as shit she was holding her gun. Fuck. What the hell was going on? Her eyes swung to Tig and they had that unfocused look to them, like she was struggling to keep her thoughts together.

"No, why would I do that? I love Shep." She answered.

"Melissa, give me the goddamned gun." Hap demanded softly as he stood up. He didn't move closer though, just in case she did try to shoot it. A slight panic was creeping in on him.

"No, I need the gun"

"Darlin' tell us what's going on so we can help you." Jax tried to soothe her.

"I only need you to take me to Shep. I don't need you to help me, I can do the rest myself." She told them all but looked at Hap as she did.

Happy could hear his heart pounding in his ears, there was a sinking feeling in his stomach that something was terribly wrong.

"What is it you can do yourself lass?" Chibs asked. The room was silent as they waited for her to answer.

Hap moved slowly closer to her, his eyes never leaving hers. He had never seen the amount of hurt in her eyes that was in them now.

"I'm going to shoot the man who raped me." She whispered. "The eagle, rose, candle, and wolf, that's all I could see while he raped me, he's been here all along." A tear slid down her cheek as she looked at Happy.

The room was in a stunned silence but every man slowly stood up, letting him know that if he decided to take Melissa to Shep they supported him.

"Who is he?" Happy asked her, the rage pumping through his body.

"If I tell you, you'll leave me here, and I know you'll kill him. I won't get to look in his eyes and him know that I remember what he did to me. How he made me beg for my life while he did those horrible things to me. How could he do that to me? I've loved him like a brother almost my whole life." Her voice was so thick with emotion that Hap was surprised she could speak at all. She wasn't crying though.

He could see the stubbornness in her and knew that he would have a fight on his hands if he tried to leave her here. But still, how could he let her walk into that kind of danger. It was his job to protect her, she was his Old Lady.

"No secrets, remember. You have to trust me." He voice was lower than usual. He could feel the energy in the room. It was tense, she hadn't given up the gun or told them who it was. "I'll do what's best for you."

The hurt look got worse in her eyes, she assumed he was going to make her stay. But Happy had a feeling if he made her stay it would cause a divide between them that he probably couldn't fix. He watched her struggle to make a decision.

"Randall. It was my brothers best friend Randall." Her voice was barely loud enough to hear, but it was enough to send them all reeling in disbelief and shock. Anger and rage pulsed in the room. It ripped through Happy with an almost physical pain.
