Audrey sat up in bed, hoping and praying she had been dreaming what she thought she just heard but as she listened closely she could hear the rumble of two Harley's outside. She jumped out of bed and ran over to the window, pulling the curtain back just a little and she saw Happy and Chibs pulling into the parking lot. "Shit! Athena wake up!"
Athena groaned and slowly sat up. "What's going on?"
"Chibs and Happy are right outside! We need to get the hell out of here!"
"Fuck!" Athena hissed, quickly getting out of bed and getting dressed. "How the hell did they find us?"
"How the hell do you think?" Audrey asked as she grabbed her suitcase and began to throw her clothes in it.
"Juice...damn him!"
"I don't know how we're going to get out of here without them seeing us!"
"The bathroom window. It should be big enough for us to both get out of here." Athena replied, zipping her suitcase. "I'm glad we parked in the parking lot next door."
"Let's just hope we can get to the car before they get to us!"
{}{}{}{}{}
Chibs walked into the office of the motel and took his sunglasses off as he walked over to the counter. "Hello there."
"Hi...do you need a room?" The young guy asked him, looking back and forth between him and Happy.
"No, we need some information about whether someone is staying here or not."
"Uhm...I'm not supposed to give out that kind of information, sorry."
Chibs smiled and pulled a stack of cash out of his pocket, pulling off two one-hundred dollar bills and laying them on the counter. "This is yours if you tell us. No one will know if you do or not."
"I...what's the name?"
"We're looking for either Athena or Audrey Rogers." Happy spoke up for the first time and the guy began to look through the computer.
"Room 28. Go out the door here and it's the second to last door."
"Thanks kid." Chibs said as he and Happy walked out of the office. "There's probably windows in the bathroom and I wouldn't put it past them to try to go out the window so I'll go around the back. Give me thirty seconds before you knock on the door."
"Won't be any knocking."
{}{}{}{}{}
Athena looked out the window and threw her suitcase out when she didn't see anyone. "Are you sure you don't want to go first?"
"Yes! Just get to the car and get it started...I'll be right behind you." Audrey replied as she watched Athena began to climb out the window.
Chibs chuckled and shook his head when he saw Athena begin to emerge from the bathroom window. He walked over and held out his hand. "Need some help mo leannan?"
Athena's head snapped up and she looked at him in shock. "Shit."
"Got that right. Come on and get out of there." He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her the rest of the way out the window, setting her on her feet. "Want to tell me what in the living hell you were thinking?"
{}{}{}{}{}
Happy counted to thirty in his head before stepping back and raising his foot, kicking the door in. "Honey! I'm home!"
Audrey shrieked in surprise and tried to run around him and out the door.
He growled and grabbed her around the waist, pulling her back in the room. "Where the fuck do you think you're going?"
"Let go of me!" Audrey yelled, struggling to get away from him and she yelped when he spun her around and threw her over his shoulder. "Dammit you asshole, put me down!"
Happy drew his hand back and swatted her hard across the ass. "Stop it."
"Fuck you!" Audrey hissed, glaring up at him when he tossed her on the bed. "What the hell are you even doing here?"
"Looking for your ass. What the hell do you think I'm doing here?"
"Hell if I know. You dumped me, remember? So why the fuck should you even care where I am?"
"Because you're mine."
{}{}{}{}{}
"I was thinking about getting the hell away from you!" Athena said, picking up her suitcase and walking across the parking lot.
"Athena! Stop!" Chibs grabbed her by the arm and spun her around. "I'm sorry, alright?! I made a mistake."
"Ya think?"
"Would you stop being so fucking stubborn and listen to me?" He growled, stepping closer to her and grabbing her around the waist. "It won't happen again mo leannan, I swear it."
"How the hell do I know that?" She asked and he sighed as he kissed her.
"Because you difficult, beautiful pain in my ass...I only want you."
{}{}{}{}{}
"Then fucking act like I am Happy! Don't listen to shit anyone says, alright? Like I told Clay...I knew the stories about you before we got together. I knew how dangerous you can be and I knew the things you had done and will continue to do but I don't fucking care!"
"I know that."
"Again fucking act like it. The next time you dump me for some stupid ass reason like you did? I swear you will never find me because I'll be done." Audrey whispered, smiling when he climbed on the bed between her legs and leaned down to kiss her roughly. "I'm yours caveman and you are mine...don't you ever forget that."
{}{}{}{}{}
"You sure about this boss? We take him out and we'll have the whole club after us." The guy said, switching the phone to his other ear as he glanced over at his partner.
"You'll have plenty of backup waiting for you when you get back to Charming so don't worry about that. Just get it done."
"Yes sir." He said and snapped the phone shut. "Shit."
"He's actually serious about this?"
"Yeah...let's go." He grabbed his gun and screwed the silencer on as they both climbed out of the car and made their way across the street to the motel.
{}{}{}{}{}
Athena wrapped her arms around Chibs's neck, smiling up at him. "I missed you old man."
"Why don't we go rent our own room and you can show me just how much you missed me?"
She started to say something when movement behind Chibs caught her eye and she watched in horror as two men stepped around the building, one raising a gun and pointing it directly at Chibs. "NO!" Athena screamed, shoving him away from her and to the side just as a bullet ripped through her and she fell to the ground.
Chibs drew his gun and spun around, firing behind him and he watched as one man fell to the ground as the other one took off running. "Athena! Shit! HAPPY!"
{}{}{}{}{}
Happy's head jerked up at the sound of gunfire and Chibs yelling for him. "Stay here!" He climbed off Audrey, grabbing his gun off the floor and running out the door.
"Like hell I am." Audrey mumbled, jumping up and running after him.
"Chibs!" Happy shouted, running around the building and he froze when he saw Chibs on the ground, cradling a bleeding Athena in his arms. "Fuck!" He ran over and dropped to his knees. "What the hell happened?"
"Crazy bitch pushed me out of the way...she took a bullet meant for me." Chibs whispered, pushing his bandanna against the wound to try and stop the bleeding.
"Athena!" Audrey screamed, running over and dropping to her knees. "Oh God! Is she..."
"No! Go call and get an ambulance here right now." Happy growled, looking at her and watching as she jumped up and ran back around the building. "Where did they go?"
"I got one of them over there. The other motherfucker ran off and I wasn't going to leave her."
"I'll be right back." Happy jumped up, pointing his gun at the guy on the ground as he slowly walked over and knelt down to check for a pulse. When he knew the guy was dead, he began to go through his pockets and found a cell phone and a wallet. Happy shoved them in his pocket and got up, running back over to Chibs. "He's dead. Found a wallet and cell phone."
"The ambulance is on the way! How is she?" Audrey questioned as she ran over and knelt down.
"Breathing but that's about it. Dammit mo leannan...why did you do that?"- Chibs mumbled as they heard a siren getting close.
{}{}{}{}{}
Happy stood with his arms around Audrey as they watched Athena get loaded into the back of the ambulance.
"Audrey are you..."
She reached out and laid a hand on Chibs's arm. "You go...we'll be right behind you."
Chibs nodded and ran back over to the ambulance, climbing in the back with Athena.
"Come on. My bike will be faster." Happy kept an arm around her as he led her to his bike and helped her on before climbing on himself and roaring out of the parking lot behind the ambulance.
