A/N: Canon offensive language in this chapter. This is not how I really feel, but for this chapter I'm follow canon somewhat on some of the things.
Morning came, and it was bittersweet in the Teller household. Clair Teller nearly died the night before, but she survived due to the fact of a faulty traffic light, and the cell phone going on the floor.
Though she felt betrayal. Her mom's twin brother was the shooter. Hell he was told, and so was Clay that Opie wasn't the rat, but Clay told Tig to react anyway, and it could have been tragic, but someone was looking out to make things better.
Snuggling into the king sized bed she wrapped her arms around Happy laying her head on his chest. She didn't didn't want to face the day. She knew she had to tell Happy and Jax who it was, but she wasn't ready for the fall out that might happen. She was considering packing a bag and going to stay with her Aunt Diana or with Veronica and her parents since she was her best friend, and her mom is her late father in law's sister.
Though for now she clung to her husband. Shit she didn't even want a husband, but at CJ's bachelorette party in Vegas she got a bit too wild. She missed Nashville, and her. Though she was a WWE Superstar along with her husband, and Clair was married to an outlaw biker, her college roommate was dating a gang member, and her college roommate's dad was a major player in Oakland on both sides of the law.
She had nothing in common with her anymore, but she wanted to go to Malibu for the wedding to show support. They were tight in Nashville since they were neighbors and friends. Clair looked after and took care of their house while they were on the road.
She swam in their pool, got their mail, made sure there were no frozen pipes when it was cold, and made sure nothing broke, adjusted the thermostat, and even mowed their lawn for them.
"Hey honey your mind is going a mile a minute. Talk to me." said Happy rubbing her back.
"Sorry I just miss Nashville sometimes. Especially since I was nearly killed last night. If it wasn't for a faulty light traffic light, a dog running out in front of me, and my phone going on the floor I would have been dead. Could you get Jax. I want to tell you both about the one thing I lied to the police about, because I'm no fucking rat." Clair let out.
"Alright I'll call Jax." said Happy. He pulled out his prepay and gave his younger brother a call. He had a gut feeling that he wasn't going to like what was about to come out. Also he was worried about her leaving him and going back to Nashville since she said she missed it.
Clair just laid back down on her husband's chest and he continued rubbing her back. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Happy got up and answered it, and Jax and Tara came in, and sat down on the couch as Happy and Clair took the loveseat across from the couch in their apartment.
"I lied to the cops last night saying that I couldn't recognize who the shooter was. I looked up and saw his eyes. I know those eyes. It was my uncle, my mom's twin brother. Alex Tig Trager. I felt betrayed, and I have no idea how I am going to forgive him for what happened. Though keep in mind Clay was probably the one who gave the order." said Clair as Happy embraced her.
"Shit. Hale said the same thing to me early this morning. Clay thought that Opie was a rat, but Stahl set him up to be the rat. Fucking bitch." said Jax.
"Well now we have to figure out who the rat actually is because they will come take you and Opie and neither you or Opie can take another hit. You and Tara just got back together, and you are helping this club become better. Plus this might be the one thing to push Donna away fro good if Opie gets locked up again. As far as Tig and Clay lets just bury it for now because it won't help Opie at all. We need to do what's best for the club. Now as far as the witness goes, and I'll bring it up at the table today, one of my smiley faces is for a rat in a witsec safehouse." said Happy.
"I'm going to make myself scarce today. Maybe pick up Donna and the kids and spend another afternoon swimming in my dad's sister's pool. They loved it the other day." said Clair.
"Yes good idea. Be there for Donna. Tara do you want to go?" Jax asked.
"Sure that sounds fun. Plus Donna and I can catch up, and I can get to know your sister in law better." said Tara with a smile.
"Sure there is room in my truck. Girls day at my aunts with the kids. Least its supposed to be nice today." said Clair.
Tara, Clair, Donna, and the kids took off to Clair's Aunt Donna's. Otto was heading to the bar from his dorm after kissing Luanne good morning before going into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Though he stopped at Happy and his daughter's apartment and he had overheard everything that was being said with Jax, Happy, and Clair saying who the shooter was the night before. He wanted to kill him himself, but he was more convinced than ever that Clay was no good. He was happy that his daughter was going to his sister's where he knew she would be safe for the day since he had a feeling things were going to be up in the air and a bit out of control.
After making Luanne breakfast in bed, along with a round before they separated he walked her out to her corvette as she went to the studio. A bit later he watched as his daughter's truck with Tara, Donna, herself, and Kenny, and Ellie left the lot.
"Okay guys church!" Clay yelled. Everyone came and sat down,and the Sons that knew the truth decided to keep it civil and not bring it up, but instead get down to business.
"They have a witness. Now I'm just waiting on Trummel to get me the info as to where safehouse it at. I can't lose my VP, and Opie and his family cannot take another hit. Hap are you up to taking out the rat?" Clay asked.
"Yes I'll handle the right one. It will be my pleasure. Only Tig, Otto, and Jax caught the underlying dig.
"Alright lets get the location." said Clay.
"I want to know who went after JT's and my daughter in law last night. Some scumbag in a gangster SUV. Someone pissed about the gun deal going wrong?" Piney asked.
"We'll figure it out and make the one responsible pay." said Clay. "Meeting adjourned." Piney jumped up and stormed off, and Jax had a feeling he was going to do something stupid so he told the prospect Half Sack to follow him.
"Aunt Diana you look like you are going to pop anytime now." said Clair.
"How far along are you?" Tara asked.
"You are still beautiful rocking that gold bikini." said Donna.
"You girls are sweet. I'm thirty five weeks so I have a couple more at least. So what's going on with you Clair? You seem very on edge." said Diana.
Clair sighed as she decided to dive into the deep end which was nine and a half feet deep. She wanted to avoid the question for a moment. Swimming from one end of the pool to the other she got out grabbing a Corona out of the cooler before sitting back down in the lounge chair.
"I was nearly killed last night. If it wasn't for a faulty light, a damn dog running out in front of me, and my cell phone falling off my lap I would have been killed, and if Donna wasn't catnapping in my lap she may have been killed also. There is more, but I cannot get into it." said Clair.
"Is it because of all the bullshit between Clay and Marcus?" Diana asked.
"Yes." said Clair.
"Okay just know this will always be a safe place for you no matter what. You are my brother's daughter and my only niece." said Diana. She kept it true, but she held the secret that Otto is her brother, and Clair's father, and not Doug. Allison had felt sorry for him, and she wanted to get out of the life her brother had gotten into along with the man she had an affair with.
"Why does it all have to get so fucking complicated. Oops sorry. I love Opie, but I am not sure if I can handle it. I'm trying my best." said Donna.
"Until I got wild in Vegas and slept with Happy and ended up marrying him in Vegas. Then he didn't want to sign the papers, and I had to come here to get him to sign. Then he broke me down finding out about this abusive relationship I was and because of that relationship I can't have kids. That son of a bitch Austin beat me so bad the last time I lost my uterus. Now I have to take certain hormones to keep myself level at my age, and I cannot have any children of my own." said Clair as she popped Corona number three. "Donna you've got this. I'm here for you if you ever need to talk." she added.
"Thanks. Oh thanks for saving my life the night before." Said Donna as she walked over and hugged Clair. "Shit it's getting hot. I'm jumping in with the kids." she added going into the pool.
"Marcus won't let that bastard near you. You will always be safe here. I'm going to join Donna. It is getting hot." said Diana getting into the pool in her skimpy bikini with her pregnant belly on display.
"I'm glad I met you. You have been there for me since we met. Wanna take a shot?" asked Tara.
"You know what, why not." Tara poured two shots of Tequila and both drank them back.
"Careful ladies I might need to get the guest rooms together." said Diana.
"Aunt D Donna can drive my truck." said Clair as her phone went off. "Hello...I'm just hanging out with my aunt, my dad's sister with Donna and Tara. What's going on? Oh shit I'm on my way." she hung up the phone.
"Your father in law is at Laroy's bar raising hell. I have to defuse that since it's about to get ugly." said Clair.
"Marcus has you blocked in." said Diana.
"I'll drive Uncle Marc's truck. I know where he hides the keys. I will be back. I have to deal with a bit of drama I can only help up with." she told her aunt, Tara, and Donna.
"You've been drinking!" said Donna.
"I'm not leaving Oakland. Besides I've done it before in Nashville. Trust me." said Clair as she pulled on a pair of cotton board shorts that went to her knees, but she left in her hot pink string bikini top with her long blond hair down all around her.
Getting into her Uncle's Navy Blue Dodge RAM she proceeded to go to the One Niner's bar. Pulling up she saw Piney's trike and the prospects bike. Getting out she went inside not caring she looked like she should be at the beach in Los Angeles or Orange County.
"Piney what are you doing?" Clair asked.
"I'm here to set things right. Some nigger in a gangster SUV nearly killed you and my daughter, and I'm not fucking leaving till I set it right." said Piney.
"What are you talking about? I saw who did it, and it wasn't the Niners, okay. Now take the damn gun off of him before you end up killing an innocent person." said Clair.
"Damn your girl's friend if fucking hot!" Tyler commented.
"Dude shut it before I shoot you. Andy Clair is right. It wasn't the Niners that went after them last night." said Laroy as Jax, and Chibs walked in.
"What's going on here?" Jax asked.
"Well this old bastard is on a mission thinking that we were the ones who went after his daughter last night thinking it was his son." Laroy explained.
"Time out everyone. Now if we can get Piney to release his gun, do you think you could let the Sons walk out of here alive? I don't really want to be involved in another shootout after last night." said Clair.
"I'd never let the Niner's hurt you babygirl, and I'd never hurt you. You are my girl's best friend and her cousin by marriage. And Jax get the gun away from my guy, and the Sons will be able to walk out unharmed." Laroy added as he put an arm around his girl's best friend.
Jax nodded at Halfsack and he elbowed Piney in the ribs causing him to release the gun as Jax grabbed it. Pissed at the little prospect he punched him in the arm. "YOU SHITHEAD!" Piney snapped at him.
"Easy now." said Laroy as they all took a seat. Veronica had come in and was sitting on Laroy's lap and he had his arms around both women protecting them just in case shit kicked off beyond words. "Now the noise we made at the gun exchanged is about as pissed off as we are. Now if our rage took us to Charming don't you think I would make sure my boys had the right target before they took a shot? Second of all we wouldn't be sitting here having this conversation?" he asked.
"Some fucking prick in a gangster SUV went after my son, and almost killed John Teller's daughter in law along with my daughter in law. Plus John's daughter in law caught a graze to the arm. Now that sounds like some Nigger revenge to me!" Piney ranted.
"Nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger, old fat bastard says that one more time that Sons walking out alive we talked about is going off the gosh damn table." said Table.
"Oh and we are supposed to take your word because you are an honorable black man!" Piney snapped as Clair kicked the old man in the shin as hard as she could.
"Wanna shut the fuck up? You are sounding just like Anthony. Can it will ya! I hate these racial slurs. My husband is half Mexican, my best friend is half black, and my dad's sister is half Mexican. I hate this shit so shut the fuck up!" Clair snapped.
"So what now? Does this beef keep on going or are we done here?" Jax asked.
"Why the hell are we talking about beefs here? Someone went after my daughter in law thinking it was my son."
"PINEY! I'M HANDLING THIS. IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE HELL UP I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MY SELF!" Jax yelled.
"I'm going to take my leave here since Jax has it under control. I left Donna at my aunt's house. Your grandkids are enjoying my aunt's pool." said Clair.
"Call me later baby girl." said Veronica.
"Will do." said Clair hugging her friend along with Laroy and leaving.
"As of now we are all cool, but there is business still needs to be discussed. We'll regroup in a few to give us all time to calm down." said Laroy.
After the fiasco at the Niner's bar Jax knew that he had to find out who the hell that witness was, along with find someone to blame. It was a tight spot because he couldn't put it on the Niners, and he couldn't put it on the Mayans. He had no idea who he could pin it on. Maybe he should just bring Tig to the table and be done with it. An ass kicking in the ring, and a suspension from the club for a few weeks? Maybe?
Though he needed to talk to Happy and get his reading on it all, and Otto also. Piney was too keyed up, and since Otto was first nine he had a clear head on his shoulder, thanks to Happy who's advice kept him out of jail.
Though that had to wait. They had to find the real rat first, and do something about it. Sitting on the roof he thought about how he was going to raise Abel in this chaos, but with Happy, and Otto he knew that he had a shot, plus Tara had come back to him and things were going great.
Clair dropped off Donna and went to the clubhouse. They found the rat so it was just a waiting game. Happy had gone with Tig, and Chibs to take care of the rat, and Clay was sitting in the chapel. Juice was in his laptop.
"Hey what are you doing?" Clair asked.
"Trying to hack into the data base to see if we can find out anything on the rat. We were only able to get a location on the safehouse." said Juice. Sudden something popped up, and Clair was standing behind Juice with her arms around his neck in a sisterly embrace reading the laptop over his shoulder as the information Juice was trying to find popped up.
"Oh no! Shit!" Clair said aloud.
"What's going on?" asked Jax coming over them putting a hand on both of their shoulder's.
"You have to stop my husband, and Uncle. The witness is a seventeen year old girl. Only seventeen, and a female at that. They will both regret it. They may be hardened killers, but this crosses the line." said Clair wiping a couple tears from her eyes.
Otto had heard the entire conversation, and he knew his daughter was right when she said it. The son's didn't kill women.
"SHIT!" Jax ran out the door.
"Jax, JAX! Where the hell is he going?" Clay asked.
Clair couldn't help the next words that came out. She was just pissed about her betrayal, and how things were going down so she lashed out. "He's gonna go make sure you don't make anymore mistakes!" she snapped before going to the bar and grabbing a shot of Jack and throwing a couple back before Otto wrapped his arms around her to comfort her agreeing with every single word she said.. Clay said nothing, and just stalked into the chapel slamming the door.
"I got this Hap." said Tig.
"I can do this." said Happy.
"I'm so sorry." said Tig to the girl.
"STOP! WE DON'T KILL WOMEN!" Jax yelled. "Get out of here!" he snapped at Chibs and Happy.
"This wasn't the plan." Happy snarled.
"I got this. You'll thank me later." said Jax as he removed the gag and he looked into the scared girl's eyes and knew he was making the right choice. "Okay you see this guy? He is a bad guy. Do you want to know why? CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA RAT ON TWO OF HIS FRIENDS! Now you can't do that because no one can protect. Not the feds no one!" said Jax.
"I won't rat. i won't say anything. I promise." the girl said.
"Okay here is some cash. You take a bus, you take a train, you steal a fucking car I don't give a shit! But you will die if you don't get out of California tonight. Now get out of here!" said Jax as the girl took the cash and ran.
"You don't crossed the line Jax!" said Tig.
"Not yet!" Jax and Tig proceeded to beat the shit out of one another before heading back tot he clubhouse.
Happy embraced Clair and the two kissed. "Shit my brother saved my ass." he said.
"Juice and I found the information. Well Juice did, and I was just hugging him like he was my brother and reading the laptop screen, and then I told Jax." said Clair. She was nothing, but honest with her husband, and he appreciated it.
Happy clapped Juice on the shoulder with a brotherly pat. "Thanks for finding the information in time brother." he said.
"Of course Hap." said Juice.
"Say how about the four of us take a bottle of Jack and smoke a joint or three, on the roof. Happy Tara, and Jax. You up for it. Juice you can come to. We don't want to leave you out. Clay went home to Gemma, who knows were Tig is, and Otto and Chibs went home. What do you say? Oh Opie is with his family. Maybe it should be a blunt instead of a joint" said Clair.
"I have a multiple blunts. Lets go." said Juice as Jax grabbed a gallon of Jack as he put an arm around Tara, and Happy and Clair followed suit since it was Clair's idea. The Teller brothers were considering Juice as a little brother, and since he didn't have anyone they included him in their pot/booze fest. Plus he came through for them with the witness. The real rat, and it was taken care of the right way.
~Fifteen Minutes Later~
Piney somehow made it on top of the roof and he saw the five young people having their own party with booze and pot. He hadn't found the shooter yet, but somehow Piney knew that the Teller brothers will make it right and do something about it. Walking over to the group he put a had on both of the Teller brother's shoulder's.
"Hey boys. It's time for a change." handing over his copy of John Teller's manuscript he walked back downstairs to either down himself in Patron at the clubhouse or get on his trike and head to his cabin to drink is patron there.
"What's that?" asked Clair.
"It's time to change shit." said Jax.
A/N: Okay not like the series, but it seems like things are still pretty up in the air. I hope you like the end of season one. So how do you like the brother/sister relationship between Clair and Juice? Also what do you think about the leader of the One Niner's having Clair's back? Enjoy and thanks for all the support!
