7/
It was approaching dusk when I heard a distinctive knock on my front door. I knew who that knock belonged to.
"Hey Hap." I greeted him as I opened the door. "Do I need a tail?"
"Nah. Just thought I'd come by." He answered me as he came inside.
I recognized the glint in his eye and knew immediately why he was here. I should have known that sleeping with him the night before would open the floodgates for a period of time. We'd often go for several months not being with each other and then one of us would initiate it and it would continue for a few weeks.
I spied the new redwood original patches on his kutte. "You made the vote." I commented running my fingers across them.
"Yeah." He answered.
"And Kozik?" I asked.
"Nah Tig voted against it."
I sighed. "I really wish he'd get past all the shit between them."
"He might one day." he said rather elusively.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Nothin'. I didn't come here to talk about Tig." he said scooping me up and slamming me against the wall. He crushed his lips against mine making it impossible for me to continue the conversation even if I'd wanted to.
"Bedroom." I murmured in the brief second he gave me for air before plundering my mouth with his tongue. He obliged and carried me to my bedroom where he threw me down on the bed. I watched him peel his clothes off before he prowled over me and stripped me of my own clothes. It was always like this between us. No foreplay just straight down to it.
He kissed, bit and sucked a trail down my neck to my breasts as his hand reached behind me to unclasp my bra. I moaned as his fingers brushed over my hip before moving to pull my lacy underwear down. I barely had time to kick it off at my ankles before he was spreading my legs and running his fingers across me. "Christ. Your always so wet Kat." he remarked before he slid effortlessly inside of me. I moaned as he slid out and slammed hard back into me again and again. As his hand went to my throat as it sometimes did I knew it was the strength and power he had over me that made me so wet for him. His hand tightened around my neck his thumb pressing against my windpipe, strangling my cries as my insides burned closer to their release. He'd quickly discovered that the rougher he was the more ferociously I came which I knew made his own release more powerful as my walls clamped tight around him.
"Oh fuck Hap. Harder." I moaned when I knew I was close. I screamed as he slammed into me and the power of my orgasm hit me, making me see stars. He slammed into me several more times before finding his own release as mine continued to tear through me.
"Christ Hap." I murmured breathlessly as he rolled off me and headed toward the bathroom, collecting his clothes along the way. I heard the shower start as I gathered the sheet around my naked body. I lay back against the pillows and bit my lip still reeling. I'd take a shower after he left which I knew would be soon. He never stuck around long after we'd had sex.
He emerged a short time later and I followed him to the front door still wrapped only in my bed sheets. "I'll be leavin' in the mornin' for a while."
"For Belfast?" I asked.
"Yeah." He answered.
"Okay." I replied.
"Jax wants you to meet him at the hospital in the morning before we go out." He said before he headed over to his bike where it stood in my driveway.
I knew that was the end of our conversation and all it meant. It was always the same between us. The sex was over he'd up and leave with an instruction or order, in this case a message from my brother.
"Early I expect?" I asked.
"Yeah." He returned before he started up his bike and peeled out of my driveway.
"Jax." I cried running headlong into him and Dad as I came out of the front doors of St Thomas. "I've just been to see Mom and she's not there."
"What? What do you mean she's not there?" Dad asked from beside him.
"I don't know. They said something about some medical episode and then no one could track her down for me. She wasn't in the treatment room they took her to." I explained.
Jax sighed as his cell phone buzzed in his pocket. "It's Tara. Maybe she knows something." He said as he glanced down at the caller display. "Hey babe." He said on answering it.
"Mom?"
"What the hell?"
"Shit." Jax swore as he snapped his phone shut.
"What's going on Jax?" I asked.
"I found Mom. C'mon." He said heading around the back to the service entry.
"What the hell?" I said seeing Mom emerge from it adorned in a doctor's coat with a suitcase in her hand.
"I'm coming with you." Mom announced.
"Baby." Dad began to protest but I knew this was one of those times she was not going to take no for answer.
"I'm coming with you to Belfast to bring home my grandson." She insisted in a tone of voice I recognized well. She had no intention of backing down and was going to get exactly what she wanted.
"There might be a problem with that." Came a voice from behind me. I turned to find Chief Unser there his gun drawn.
"What are you gonna do Wayne? Shoot me?" Mom asked.
"I have to call this in Gemma."
"Mom this is crazy." I tried to protest.
"Here." Tig said handing Jax the keys to the tow truck. "Get her outta here."
I looked on in disbelief as Mom, Dad and Jax piled into the tow truck and sped off leaving Chief Unser standing open mouthed gun still drawn.
"Where's your car Kitty Kat?" Tig asked me ignoring Unser where he still stood.
"In the parking lot." I answered dumbfounded.
"Keys?" He asked me holding his hand out for them.
"What? No way. You are not driving my car." I tried to protest.
He sighed and grabbed me by the arm dragging me towards it. "How fast can you drive?"
"Fast enough. Why?"
"You're going after that tow truck."
"What? Why?"
"Do I have to spell it out Kitty Kat? Unser is going to call it in. They'll be looking for the tow truck. We catch up to them and swap cars so your mom doesn't get carted off to jail."
I turned back to see Unser already on his radio as we reached my car. "Right." I said the penny finally dropping as I opened the door and slid into the driver's seat. I put the keys into the ignition while Tig climbed into the passenger seat beside me.
I barely waited for him to close the door before I peeled out of the lot going in the same direction I knew Dad would have taken in the tow truck. I could hear sirens beginning in the distance.
"Shit." I swore.
"Relax Kitty Kat. Just catch up to them." Tig said from beside me.
I rounded a corner and floored the accelerator as I saw them ahead of me. Tig reached across and blasted my horn making them slow down and pull over. I came to a screaming stop beside them as the sound of sirens drew closer.
"They'll be looking for the truck. Take Kat's charger." Tig said jumping out of my car and rounding to the passenger side door of the truck.
I got out and handed Dad the keys.
"Go. Get outta here." Tig said putting Mom's suitcase in the trunk and slamming the lid down.
I stepped forward and gave Mom a hug. "This takes the cake as the craziest thing you've ever done Mom."
She raised her eyebrows at me. "I think you're about to bring crazy to whole new level too sweetheart."
I glanced back at Tig who was waiting impatiently in the drivers seat of tow truck for me to get in.
"Go bring Abel home Mom." I said placing a kiss on her cheek before opening the door and sliding in beside him.
"Hold onto something Kitty Kat." He said as he put it into gear and sped off directly back onto the main road where a squad of police cars immediately began following us. "That's it piggies. That's it." Tig chanted quietly to himself as he picked up speed and led them out of town.
"How is this gonna end Tig?" I asked.
"I don't know Kitty Kat." he said with a glance into the rear vision mirror as he headed out of Charming. "But what's important is that you tell 'em nothing at the other end of it." he continued
"I'm not gonna rat on anyone Tig."
"I know that Doll but there's some pretty hard hitting cops in town at the moment though."
"Okay? Why is that?" I pressed him as I grabbed onto the window frame beside me as Tig threw the truck around a bend on the highway.
"Probably nothing." He said. I knew I should have known I wouldn't get answers out of him.
With nothing else to do being that I was being forced to share the ride with him, I brought up Kozik.
"So I heard you voted against Kozik's transfer?"
"Yeah. The prick can help out Samcro without having to be Samcro." He reasoned an edge of distaste to his voice.
"But you didn't vote against Happy's transfer?" I continued, not sure what direction the conversation would take at the mention of Happy's name.
"He's a better man than Kozik will ever be." He almost growled beside me as he glanced into the rear vision mirror.
"You know what I don't get Tig? Is why you have such a problem with Kozik but not with Happy."
"Whatever you and Happy have going on is none of my business Kat. I don't have to like it but it's not my business. I know he looks after you and we weren't together when you started with him. Kozik knew you were still mine when he slept with you. That's what I can never forgive." he answered me. I heard the pang of jealousy in his voice.
"Tig we my not have actually called things off when it happened but are you forgetting that I'd just walked in on you banging Ima? What were you expecting I'd do?"
"I don't fuckin' know Kat. Not that."
"The grudge you've got against him is stupid Tig. It was one fucking night. He was one man that I slept with while we were technically still together and you slept with how many fucking women?"
"He was my brother Kat. The closest thing I had to a friend before I became a Son. He betrayed my trust that night."
"Wow, so I suppose the number of times you betrayed my trust with a string of whores doesn't matter then?"
"It's different Kat."
"No it's not." I persisted.
"Just drop it Kat." he declared like a petulant little kid.
"Fine." I sighed knowing he was never going to forget that night.
"You ready to end this?" He asked, I knew grateful for the opportunity to change the subject even if it meant we were both about to be arrested. I turned around and looked out the back window. I couldn't count how many cop cars were behind us now.
"You think the others are at the airstrip by now?" I asked with a little trepidation.
"Yeah bound to be. These piggies have been following us for nearly an hour." He answered me as he pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Thanks for waiting for my answer." I said perhaps a little too sarcastically.
"We gotta face the music sometime Kitty Kat." He said with a wink.
Before I knew it the car was surrounded by squad cars and a cop with a megaphone was demanding that we get out with our hands up. I glanced at Tig before I opened my door and slid out of the car. He looked like he was enjoying this. I knew I shouldn't be surprised; it was the thrill of this life that he enjoyed the most. What better way to get that thrill than to be arrested after leading every cop in the surrounding area on a near hour chase.
I held my hands above my head and immediately felt a cop press me against the hood of the car and place my hands upon it while another frisked me. I sucked in a breath as trepidation set in. I wondered what I'd be charged with if anything as I glanced across to Tig who was being frisked on the opposite side of the hood. He smirked at me then winked. I shook my head at him and smirked back before I was pulled away with my hands held tight behind my back and placed into one of the waiting squad cars.
