Sometime in the wee hours Happy Lowman crawled into bed with his wife. Even though she was sound asleep or even a bit passed out from earlier just holding her was all she needed.
Stripping down to nothing, but his boxers he just held her. Bobby's was an awesome party that he partook in everything but the crow eaters or the biker groupies. All he needed and wanted was Clair.
~Later on early in the wee hours. Four in the morning~
Katey Sagal's version of Ruby Tuesday was playing softly on the jukebox at the clubhouse. Clay was passed out in his dorm in the bed, Bobby was passed out on the couch with a crow eater in the 69 position. Piney was in his dorm passed out. Opie had gone home to his kids hours ago. Chibs was passed out in a chair with a croweater in his lap. Otto and Luanne were passed out on a another sofa in one another's arms. Juice was passed out naked on the pool table with two half naked crow eaters. Tig was passed out on top of the bar with a crow eater on top of him fully dressed.
In Happy and Clair's apartment Happy was passed out on their bed on his back. On Clair's night stand there was a half full glass of wine, and Clair was laying half on top of her husband with one leg over him, and her head on his chest. Her husband's arms were wrapped around her. She was wearing a short red silk nightgown, and Happy was just in his boxer shorts. The emerald green silk sheets that Clair had bought were low on their waists.
At some warehouse Gemma was passed out on the floor naked with a blanket over her. She was gang raped by three guys including AJ Weston, and they took her more than once. Five times each. She was woken up when she heard banging and then she heard her longtime friend Wayne Unser calling.
"Gemma! Gemma!"
"Wayne!" she called.
"Oh shit." said Wayne seeing the state his friend was in.
"Get me out of here Wayne!" she called.
As Gemma was on the front seat of his patrol car she asked him what she wanted to since he found her. "So how did you find me?" she asked.
"An anonymous tip." said Wayne.
"Typical. I'm not surprised. Lowlifes." Gemma ranted. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"Saint Thomas." said Wayne.
"No give me your phone." said Gemma.
At Jax's house Tara and him were in Jax's bed alseep holding on to one another also. Abel was in his crib sound asleep. The house was peaceful. They were sound a sleep with the phone rang. Since they knew their ring tones, and each others Jax knew who's phone was ringing.
"It's you babe." said Jax rubbing Tara's back.
"Hello." said Tara.
Wayne, Tara, and Gemma were in Tara's living room as Tara tried her best to patch her up without a hospital.
"Gemma please tell me what happened." said Tara.
"I was raped. It was Zobelle's crew. I knew two out of the three. Whistler, some other asshole, and Weston. Yes AJ Weston. Clair's ex. It's like he doesn't care about women if he rapes them all the fucking time." Gemma ranted.
"We need to tell the club. Especially Jax, Clay, and Happy." said Wayne.
"No not Happy or especially Jax or Clay. Those monsters went after me to hurt the club. We have to protect them." said Gemma.
"Okay I won't say anything, but we need to get you to a hospital." said Tara.
"No hospitals. The insurance and shit. That's how people will find out." said Gemma.
"I can't treat you in my living room!" Tara said as she took a breath thinking about how she could sell it. Then it came to her. It was a risk, but Gemma was the love of her life's mom begging her to help her. "Okay we'll go get Abel and I'll say that I have to run a few more tests." said Tara.
"You could get fired for that." said Gemma realizing that Tara was about to go out on a limb for her.
"I'll figure it out." said Tara.
Tig was awoken by his prepaid ringing. Getting it out of his pocket he answered it. "Hello."
"Hello Mr. Trager it's Alvarez. Listen I want to talk to Clay to discuss peace. Listen my wife is Otto Delaney's sister. Also Otto is the biological father of Clair. She doesn't know, but what was never lied to her was my wife is her father's sister. Also I know all about your fight. It's because of you and Clay, but what I have to offer Clay is business. I just don't want my wife's niece to get hurt because of it." said Marcus.
"I'll get Clay hold on." Tig put the prepaid on hold and then went to get up, but accidentally pushed the crow eater off of him and the bar. She hit the floor. "Sorry sorry." said Tig as he got up and went to Clay's dorm.
Clay was in bed in a pair of sweatpants and a wife beater top. "Hey Clay!" said Tig. "Clay!"
"Yea." said Clay half asleep seeing it was seven in the morning. Too early to get up as far as he was concerned. "Its Alvarez." said Tig handing the phone over and leaving.
Going into his dorm he passed out once again.
Though Clay got a quite and earful of information from the Mayan President, and it was like okay what's going to happen now. He wanted peace though. The Mayans would continue to buy guns, and the Niner's would just have to get the fuck over it. It was business. All about the cash. Nothing personal.
Also he knew that if Clay made one wrong move the entire Mayans MC would be on him. Every state, every charter. Clay would be fucked. Though he would never admit it, but he was more afraid of Happy, than Otto's sister's Ol' Man, but there it was.
What Clay didn't know was within mere hours a vote was coming to the table about him and Tig. Clay had fallen back asleep when he got disturbed again by Tig. Though this time he got up. Gemma was in a car accident.
This would be Clair's first day at her new job. Luanne's assistant. Even though she had plenty of money and didn't have to work, she was the type who would get bored if she wasn't doing something.
So she had walked into the studio and saw a distraught Luanne. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Fucking rival producer George Curioso. He won't leave my girls alone and keeps on harassing him to join his company." Luanne ranted.
"Okay could they talk to Hale or Unser? Maybe get a restraining order on this prick." Clair suggested.
"Great idea. Thanks Clair." said Luanne hugging her. She knew who her father was, and she could see her husband in the young woman. Though one secret, she only told Otto, was she hired her not only because he needed an assistant, but to get ot know the love of her life's daughter because Luanne couldn't have kids do to having to lose her ovaries at such a young age. Twelve to be exact due to complications.
"Hey it's my job right? To give ideas if you need them or advice." said Clair as suddenly the cops busted in. They found some drugs that some of the girls that Luanne fired left so everything was seized. One good thing was the main laptop with the movies was on Clair's desk in her and Happy's apartment since she was asked to do some editing. That saved Lausanne everything. So losing some goods didn't really mean much.
Unser called Clay and he and all the other sons came to the hospital. Clair was working so she wasn't there, and Happy had to do a quick run to Tacoma so he wasn't there. Everyone else was though. Gemma didn't want to see anyone. She tried to be strong when she was released, but it was like her husband and son just wanted to hug her, but Gemma didn't want to be touched.
The it seemed as that Curso jackass was stalking Luanne's employees. Even Clair. Though they all said fuck off, and a couple had gotten restraining orders after talking to Hale
Though Luanne was out of a studio for the moment along with some of the cash. She told her girls not to work for Georgie because he would have them all strung out, and turning tricks.
Jax, her husband, and some of the Sons came to talk to her, and Luanne said that Curusio had a roid crew that ran their girls like pimps running pussy. Then asked for the money she loaned the club. Otto embraced his wife kissing her and told her that they would work it out. Caracara was going nowhere. Now it was time to deal with an asshole.
Gemma was glad to be back at her house. Going upstairs she took a hot bath in her master bathroom with a gun in her hand. She didn't trust anyone that wasn't the club at the moment.
Clay had no idea what his club was doing. It was like they were not there, but Church would be in a couple hours. Though little did he know a lot was going to change. Leaning back and smoking a cigar he felt like something big was about to go down.
The sons stormed into Curioso studios and proceeded to tell Georgie what was what. Then they left. Haflway back to Charming they got a call from Clair. She was at Saint Thomas with Lyla one of the Saffron Sisters, and with Luanne. Curioso broke in and punched Lyla in the face before delivering a message.
"Someone's about to fucking die!"Otto ranted.
"What's up?" Juice asked.
"We got to get to Saint Thomas. My wife is there with one of her actresses." said Otto.
"Lets go." said Jax leading the pack.
~Saint Thomas~
As soon as the Sons walked in that consisted of Juice, Opie, Chibs, Otto, the prospect Half Sack, Bobby, Tig, and Jax. They saw Luanne with her arms folded with a pissed off look on her face and Clair holding a hankerchiff to Lyla's nose with her other arm wrapped around her.
Juice ran over and laid his head on Lyla's shoulder and everyone saw that Juice had feelings for the Pornstar that went beyond attraction.
"Lot of good putting the fear in Georgie. Great job guys." said Luanne.
"This was Curioso?" Jax asked.
"What do you think? Lyla tell them what he said." said Luanne.
"Luanne be careful. I get you are upset, but you best watch how you talk to the club." said Otto.
"Sweetheart tell them what the bastard said." Clair said to Lyla kissing her forehead.
"He said to tell Jax that if his little biker buddies show up again he's going to roll the cameras while he jams his dick up all your asses." said Lyla.
"Feckon prick." said Chibs.
"Alright this guy asked for it." said Jax.
"JAX DON'T! You already saw what he did to Lyla. You are going to make things even worse!" Luanne screached.
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to." Jax snapped.
"Whoa. Luanne, Jax." said Otto.
"I'm sorry." said Luanne.
"CALL THE REST OF YOUR TALENT AND TELL THEM TO LOCK THEIR FUCKING DOORS!" Jax yelled.
"This gets taken care of babe. I love you." said Otto kissing her. "Get Lyla patched up." he added. "Clair be at the clubhouse in an hour. You are going to be needed in our church meeting. You need to tell the table exactly what happened the night you were almost killed. And we have a vote besides that will affect you also." he Otto.
"Okay." said Clair. She knew that this had been coming ever since she dropped her cell phone and as she leaned down shots rang out. And she knew those eyes. The eyes of her mom's twin brother. Clair didn't know if she could ever forgive him.
"Okay lets go do some baseball practice." said Jax.
"Love your idea brother." said Juice as Otto just nodded laughing. Tig knew that this was going to be it. At best he was going to lose his club, and at worst he would be meeting the Mr. Alexander Tig Trager knew that he loved his club and the only thing left of his twin that he had. Though he hurt her, and he had no idea if she would ever forgive him.
~Tacoma~
"Yea." Happy said into the phone.
"Hey it's Jax. I need your proxy for Church. We are going to bring what happened to your wife, and Opie's wife to the club. Also we are voting on if patches need to just be stripped and demoted, but stay in the club or if they should be kicked out of the club and meet Mr. Mayhem." he said.
"Okay what's best for the club is if Clay and Tig get demoted. They lose their officer patches, stay in the club, and lose their vote for a month. I'll fax this to you so you can use it in the chapel." said Happy.
"Thanks Happy." said Jax.
"Love you brother. I'm helping SAMTAC deal with a rat. I'll call Clair to tell her what's going on and I'll be back in a couple days." said Happy. He was known as Killah for a reason. The Redwood and the Tacoma Killer.
~Redwood Clubhouse~
All the Sons came in and Clay and Tig were there also. Happy was the only one that was missing, and that was because he was in Tacoma helping out. Bobby was feeling better after puking on Georgie and it seemed like everyone was in good spirits.
"Hey Clair we are ready for you." Juice said coming out. Clair got up and threw her phone in the box and walked inside. She just stood by the table.
"Just sit down on my lap sweetheart." said had no problem with it seeing how devoted to Luanne he was. Jax looked at Clay and Tig with a hard look before turning to his sister in law.
"Could you tell the table what happened that night you were nearly killed?" Jax asked.
"What the fuck is that about?" Clay asked.
"Shut up." Jax snapped.
Clair sighed and took Opie by the hand. "Donna was tired so I offered to drive. She laid her head on my thigh while you took the kids home on your car. I was coming up on a light and because of an electrical problem with the light the green went straight to red along with a damn dog running out in front of me, so I had to slam on the breaks of your truck. My phone was in my lap and it slid to the floor. I leaned down to get it and shots rang out. I got grazed in the shoulder and I protected Donna by laying my head down on her keeping her down. When the shots stopped I got up and a black Range Rover stopped and looked right at me. He was wearing a mask, but I knew those eyes as he looked right at me.I could read his lips. They said Oh Shit. My own uncle nearly killed me because I suspect that Clay put you up to it because he thought Opie was a rat!" Clair said.
"Seriously?" Bobby asked.
"What the fuck?" Chibs commented.
"No wonder you knew it wasn't the Niners when you stopped me in Oakland. YOU MOTHER FUCKER NEARLY KILLED MY DAUGHTER IN LAW AND HAPPY'S WIFE TIG!" he exploded.
"Hold up. How can we know that it's true based on the fact that Clair only saw the eyes. That don't mean shit." said Clay.
"AS A DAUGHTER OF AN IDENTICAL TWIN BELIEVE ME I KNOW. IT'S INSTINCT!" Clair yelled.
"I think it's all bullshit!" said Clay.
"You were the one convinced that Opie was a rat so you get your trigger man to do your dirty work!" Jax accused.
"I want a vote to challenge the President's patch. I should be president, because I think things through before acting. Brains before bullets." said Otto.
"Oh like you nearly went Rogue and stole that car and went to blow up that warehouse?" Clay snarked.
"Happy told me to wait and think it through so I did. He is like his father, but he is loyal to the club. His advice has influenced my way of thinking, and that is to think it through before reacting." said Otto. "Officer challenge!" he put out.
"Second. Lets vote this on the morning!" Clay snapped.
"Nah we are doing it all now and we have Happy's proxy." said Jax.
"Okay yay or nay Otto becoming President? Nay." said Clay.
"Nay." said Tig.
"Yay." said Otto.
"Yay." said Piney.
"Yay." said Chibs.
"Nay." said Bobby.
"Yay." said Juice.
"Happy's Proxy yay, and mine yay." said Jax.
"This is bullshit!" said Tig.
"Otto is the President now so get over it!" said Bobby. "I realized I voted wrong, but it's over now." he added.
"Okay as my first act of me being President of the Redwood Originals I vote to strip Tig's Sargent at Arms patch. Yay." said Otto.
"Nay." said Clay.
"Nay." said Tig.
"Yay." said Opie.
"Yay." said Jax.
"Yay." said Chibs.
"Yay." said Bobby.
"Yay." said Piney.
"Happy's Proxy is yay." said Jax.
"Speaking of Happy I'm asking him to be my right hand when he gets back. He's the best for the job. So any other business? Oh Clair you can stay because the only new thing affects you, and my wife. Jax the floor is yours." said Otto.
"Okay Prez this is about your Ol Lady's business. Curisio is nothing but a scumbag with a lease. He has to steal all the talent, but we have our own talent. Luanne and the Caracra stars. Curioso is just a scumbag with a lease." said Jax.
"So we are now the skumbag with the lease?" Clay asked.
"No. We front my lady some cash and give her the new gun warehouse since it's the same size of Georgie's studios. We start in John's direction of wanting to go legit and the porn is a legitimate business. We run it clean and the feds think we turned a whole new leaf and then they all go away. I have always liked John's version.
"Hey we could get Bobby laid at the very least." Chibs joked trying to lighten the mood.
"I don't need any help getting laid so fuck you Chibs!" said Bobby.
"Okay lets all take a vote about getting into the porn business and partnering up with Carcara. As in the pussy business. Sorry Clair." said Jax.
"Did you forget where I work? Shit doesn't bother me after my past. Besides we all know who my Uncle is." said Clair. Otto felt his heart ache. He just wanted to tell his daughter the truth that he was her father. Luanne gave her the job partially because she was her stepmom, but mostly she could handle the job and had the right qualifications.
"Well everyone loves pussy." said Chibs.
"I second that." said Opie. "Shit don't tell Donna.
"Third it." said Juice. "Hey Clair we need to get together so I can get the internet shit rolling because alot of the money comes from that." he added.
"I'm a big fan of Pussy." said Tig.
"Okay lets think a minute. Clubs fall apart of they take on too much." said Clay wanting to stay in guns.
"We have been cut in half and demoted. This will keep us whole, and plus it's a legitimate legal business." said Jax.
"Okay meeting adjourned. Time to meet the Irish." said Otto.
A/N: So much has happened, but demotions needed to happen. Enjoy!
