Chapter 15

** Time Skip **

After dinner was finished I asked Ryder to put the girls to bed seeing it was way past their bedtime as it was. They said their goodnights and followed Ryder to their rooms. JJ offered to help me clean up in the kitchen while the rest of the team and Piney went to the living room, after the Kitchen had been cleaned up, JJ and I had joined them in the other room.

I looked at each member of my team, before I began to speak "I want you to hear me out before you ask any questions. Everything I say in the next few minutes I am saying to you guys not as a member of the BAU, but as a sister or a friend. Piney has confirmed that there might be some merit to Roosevelts claims that Clay was behind Donna's death, after Stahl had painted Opie as a rat, he went to the club and told them what had happened and what had been said, there was a vote and based on that vote Opie was cleared of being a rat, it appears that Clay and another member felt differently and on the night of Able's home coming Donna was killed in what appeared to be a drive by shooting, shortly afterwards Roosevelt went to Jax and asked if the Club or better yet was Clay behind the shooting Jax was pissed to say the least, but some of what the Sheriff had said had a ring of truth to it. Jax as well as Piney have been trying to find the proof they need to prove he did it." I stopped talking letting everything I just told them sink in, I looked at each one of their faces to see it I can get a hint of what was running through their heads. Rossi was the first to speak.

"So what actually have you been able to come up with" He asked Piney

I looked at Piney waiting to see what he was going to say. I could see the conflict in his eyes, they maybe my family but they still were part of the FBI to him they have done nothing to prove to him they had my back no matter what. I walked up to Piney and looked him dead in the eyes, and said,

"You can trust them, they have my back, as I have theirs, Piney you and JT always told me DNA makes you related, loyalty makes you family, I trust the men and woman in this room to protect me with their lives as I would protect them with mine and have on occasion."

I gave him a slight nod, letting him know the team could be trusted, before he began to speak he cleared his throat, "What I say is complete off the records nothing I say can be used against me. Jax came right out and asked Clay if the club had anything to do with my daughter-in-law's murder and he said no, the next day Clay said he had conformation that it was the Niners, I took off to confront Leroy, I had that little bastard in my cross hairs all I had to do was squeeze and he'd be dead, dead just like Donna, Jax came storming in telling me to put down the gun, I told him no this nigga killed my daughter-in-law, after a few minutes of yelling back and forth, Jax was able to get me to put down my gun and we sat down and talked, Leroy convinced us that he had nothing to do with Donna's death and we left, a couple of days after the shooting Jax over heard a conversation between Clay and his SAA regarding the shooting, during this conversation, Clay admitted to fucking up, as he calls it, Jax couldn't believe what he was hearing he came to me right away, he knew if this got out it would destroy Opie and hurt the Club and not only SAMCRO but all the SONS in ever charter, the President of the Mother Charter put a hit out on the Son of a First 9, and ended up killing his innocent wife." Piney paused to catch his breath; Piney's health isn't what it used to be. He has to walk around with a portable oxygen tank.

"After I heard the truth from Jax, I took off tour ass to the Club house I was going to kill that son of a bitch, this was not what SAMCRO does, it's not what we are about, Clay is taking the Club to places I never dreamed we would be. I stormed in to the chapel; Clay was sitting in his chair, his SAA seated to his right and Bobby Elvis to his left going over some papers, I draw my gun and I pointed it at Clay's head, I never got to pull the trigger, because Jax came in and tackled the gun out of my hand and I was grab by Chibs. I got control of myself and left the club house and headed to my cabin to cool down." Piney once again paused, Hotch knew how hard this was for Piney, these were his brothers, and his family and they tried to kill his son but ended up killing his daughter-in-law instead.

"So it seems we have 1 less case to worry about, now where are we on the Wendy Case, case?" Hotch asked making it known that we were moving on and letting the Club handle solving Donna's death.

Piney took this as a sign for him to be heading out, he said his goodnights and left, while me and my team discussed where we were on the other two cases; I told them that I had Bug looking into Tara's where about on the day Wendy died.

"You think she killed Wendy to insure she gets Jax?" Reid asked me

"Yes I do, there is just something about Tara Knowles that has always bother me, the way she just showed up one day out of nowhere, proof she was there, trying to ruin my life, it was as if her sole purpose in life was to be me, Tara's smart but not this smart she is more of the book smarts, someone has been helping her." I said to my team

"Who do you think has been helping her? It is another Son?" JJ was asking me

"Clay" was all I said, before Ryder entered the room letting me know that Bug had gotten a hit on Tara's past and we should join her in the War Room has she has come to call my office. We all followed her down the hall to my office, we all took seats around the room waiting to hear with Ryder had to say.

Once Ryder was sure everyone had entered the room she began, not looking at anyone just going through the pile of papers that were now on Remy's desk.

"From what Bug has been able to gather so far, Tara was in Chicago, prior to returning to Charming 5 years ago, having been gone for what a few years right?" Ryder questioned yet didn't wait for an answer she continued on, "She got into some real trouble at the hospital she was working at in Chicago patient's complained about her, patients families even filed complaints about the way she treated some of the patients, she was rude, she was nasty, they would ring for her and have to wait forever before she'd come in to see what they needed. She was under investigation prior to her leaving, after one of her patients almost died because they were given the wrong medication while she was on duty, the outcome of the investigation was such that the patients family sued the hospital and she was asked to leave. How she was able to get a job at St. Thomas is beyond me, Bug is still working on finding out how she was able to keep her medical license after that." Ryder said from where she sat at my desk.

We all sat there listening to what Ryder was telling us, Reid was the one to speak first.

"Does bug say what the name of the drug that was given, going on the theory that Tara Knowles killed Wendy Case what if she used some drug to cause Wendy to appear to have OD'd?" Reid asked

"Bug is still looking into that some of the records have been sealed which could also support the reason why Tara still holds her medical license." Ryder said
