Athena took a drink of coffee as she stepped over to the window and pulled the curtain back. "It looks like a nice day out today."
"Yeah but you know it's going to be hot as hell so I'm just staying in the room today."
"I probably will too...it's for the best anyway just in case anyone's looking for us."
Audrey walked over next to her and looked outside. "How pissed off do you think they are?"
"If I know Chibs, he's ready to kill me by now...should have thought of that before he decided to pull his bullshit." Athena mumbled, taking another drink of coffee. "We should have got those papers from Juice and tried to figure out some shit on our own while we're stuck here."
"About that..." Audrey started to say, taking a deep breath. "There's something that I need to tell you."
"What?" Athena asked, turning to look at her and she could see the worry in her sister's eyes. "What's going on?"
"Do you remember the day you lost your key to the shop and I had to talk to Juice about some things before I could come and open up?"
"Yeah...what about it?"
"Juice was going through dad's journals and he found a couple of entries that mentioned...his brother." Audrey said and Athena looked at her in shock.
"Dad didn't have a brother! You remember how many times he used to talk about wishing he had a brother or sister."
"That's the same thing I said but Juice said he read in one entry that dad and his brother had been on the outs for years which is most likely why dad acted like he never existed."
"What else did you find out about him?" Athena questioned, sitting down on the bed as she tried to process what she was hearing.
"Nothing much other than the fact that he was in Charming at the time and may very well still be there."
"He didn't mention a name or anything?"
"No but I asked Juice if he could look into it and see what he could find out. With everything going on, he probably hasn't had time." Audrey replied, sitting down beside her sister.
"You need to call him and find out!"
"Are you sure? He'll tell everyone he's heard from me if I do."
"Not if you ask him not to...call him." Athena urged her and Audrey sighed.
"Alright."
{}{}{}{}{}
"Any sign of them?" The man asked, getting in the car with his partner.
"They were standing at the window a little while ago but nothing since then. What did the boss say?" His partner asked, taking the coffee cup he was offered.
"To keep an eye on them and follow them if they decide to go anywhere else. He doesn't want anything done other than that just yet."
"Any idea what this is all about? Far as I can tell the boss has no involvement with the Sons so...why these two?"
"I don't know and I'm not about to ask. He pays good enough that I really don't care." The man said, laying his head back against the seat. "I'm gonna sleep for a while...wake me up if they go anywhere."
{}{}{}{}{}
Juice pulled his cell phone out of his pocket when it rang and looked at the caller ID, not recognizing the number. "Hello?"
"Juice? It's Audrey...please don't let anyone know that I'm on the phone."
He looked around to make sure that no one was watching and stepped outside. "Where are you two?! Chibs and Happy are so pissed off at the both of you!"
"They'll get over it. They're not why I called anyway...I told Athena about you finding out that we have an uncle and she wanted me to call you to see if you found out anything about him." Audrey explained and he sighed.
"With all the shit going down here I just haven't had the time but I'll get to it soon, I swear."
"That's what I figured. Thanks anyway Juice."
"Wait! Are you two coming back anytime soon?" Juice asked, glancing around to make sure he was still alone and that s when he spotted Happy standing a few feet away from him.
"We don't have any plans to...at least not for a few days but I'll call you again soon to see if you've found anything out."
"Alright, talk to you then. Be safe."
"We will."
Juice snapped the phone shut and walked over to Happy. "Hey man...what's up?"
"Who was that?"
"On the phone? Oh...that was just...a hacker buddy of mine." Juice said, backing up when Happy started towards him.
"Try again."
"What's going on?" Chibs asked, walking out of the clubhouse and looking back and forth between Happy and Juice.
"Asshole here was on the phone with Audrey or Athena."
"That right? Which one was it?"
Juice laughed a little and continued to back up as they advanced on him. "Guys really...I don't know what you're talking about!"
Happy growled and grabbed him by the front of the shirt, pulling him forward. "Who was it?"
{}{}{}{}{}
"So what did you find out?" Athena asked after Audrey had hung up the phone.
"Just like I figured...he hasn't had time to check on it but he swore he'd get to it soon."
"God, I hope so because I really want to find out who it is."
"You and me both."
Athena looked over at Audrey who had sat back down beside her. "Why didn't you tell me about all this before now?"
"You sounded extremely stressed on the phone that day so I didn't want to add anything to it. I was going to wait to tell you until Juice had more information about him but I figured with everything that's happened you deserved to know."
"I understand but next time don't hide shit like that from me, alright?"
"I won't, I promise."
{}{}{}{}{}
"It was Audrey! Dammit man let go of me!"
Happy growled and shoved Juice backwards. "Where the hell is she?"
"I don't know! She didn't say and I didn't ask!"
"Did she leave you a number?" Chibs questioned and Juice shook his head.
"No but there was a number that popped up when she called. I can look the number up and find out where they are!"
"Do it." Happy instructed and Juice ran inside the clubhouse with Chibs and Happy following close behind him.
{}{}{}{}{}
"What's going on?" Jax asked as Juice ran by him with Happy following him.
"Juice just heard from Audrey."
"Where the hell are they?"
"No clue...she didn't say and Juice didn't ask her. He's checking out the number that she called from to see where it's at." Chibs explained and Jax nodded.
"When he finds out I want you two to go find them...drag them back here kicking and screaming if you have to."
"Don't worry about that Jackie boy...that's exactly what we're going to do." Chibs assured him, clapping him on the back before going to find Happy and Juice.
{}{}{}{}{}
"Ridgecrest!" Juice yelled, turning to look up at Happy. "It's about 82 miles from Palmdale. I can't pinpoint exactly where they called from but it shouldn't be too hard to find them."
Chibs clapped Happy on the shoulder. "Let's go Hap." He said and they both walked out of the clubhouse, climbed on their bikes and roared out of the parking lot.
