The whole thing was a fucking setup. The Horsemen had waited in the shadows for them to enter the warehouse, and then when everyone started to come out, the Horsemen were waiting for them. Now, once again, Lily found herself being held against her will by the Devil's Horsemen. This time though, she was shoved into a grimy bathroom with Opie.
They hadn't seen any of the others when they had been taken to the bathroom. They could only assume that everyone else had been captured and were being held somewhere in the warehouse.
From the time she had been taken, she had worried about Happy and how she was the reason they were in this mess. She kept thinking that she should've followed Happy instead of staying in the office. It wasn't like she had found anything anyways.
"What do you think they're gonna do with us?" Opie asked, interrupting her pacing.
"Kill us probably," she said grimly.
He furrowed his brow. This wasn't like her. She usually was already thinking of ten different ways to get out of a situation. "Why?"
"Well, it all depends on if the other parts of our plan worked or not. If Galindo was able to kill the Castillo cartel and the DEA raided the meet, they might keep us alive to barter," she explained. "It's what I would do."
"And if everything was a setup?" he asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Then I wouldn't expect anything else less than a bullet in our heads from them." She was pissed at herself. It was her information that sent them all there. She had been the one to put the plan together. She was gonna be the reason they were all gonna they were all gonna end up dead.
"There has to be some way out of here."
She rolled her eyes. "We're in a fucking bathroom with no windows. So unless you're a fucking wizard and you're trying to go to the Ministry of Magic, we're fucked."
Opie glared at her and then started laughing. "You know, I always thought that it was gonna be Jax that got me killed. Not you. You were always dependable."
"Fuck you," she snapped. "Since I showed up in Charming, I've saved your asses more times than I can count. All I've heard is how I didn't keep in contact with SAMCRO or how I let all of you down. But I didn't hear from any of you after my dad's funeral. Nobody from Charming gives a fuck about what happens outside of Charming."
"That's not fair, Leela," he sighed.
"Oh, that's right," she said, crossing her arms. "It was when you and Jax were prospecting. You were too busy."
"Get your shit together," he grumbled.
"My shit?" she questioned in disbelief. "I'm the most put together out of all of you."
"You're right. Jax and I got wrapped up in our own shit. But that doesn't mean you couldn't have picked up a phone to let us know how you were doing."
"I can't do this right now," she said in frustration. "It doesn't matter what happened 15 years ago. What's done is done. I'm back now."
"Except there's bullets that have our names on them."
She sighed in defeat. She slid down the wall next to him. Her fingers tangled into her dark hair in frustration. "I'm fucked," she mumbled.
"You mean we're all fucked?"
"No," she shook her head. "I mean, yeah if their plan is to kill us. Then yes, we're all fucked."
"But you more than the rest of us?" he questioned.
She snorted. "You can say that." She combed her fingers through her hair trying to smooth it out. "Galindo would only help us if I agreed to owe him a favor for every man that he lost during this..." She waved her hand around. "Mess."
"Shit," Opie said under his breath. Owing somebody like Miguel Galindo a favor was bad news.
"And judging by all the blood that was by the main door, I'm really fucked."
"Yeah, you are," Opie chuckled. She shot him a look, but then started laughing too.
Eventually, the door to the bathroom opened. Both of Lily and Opie looked up from their spots on the floor. Adam stood there with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.
"I didn't think we would be seeing you so soon, Lilith," Adam grinned. "Did you miss us?"
She was not in the mood for this bullshit. "If you're going to kill us, just get it over with. My eternity in hell is waiting."
Opie laughed and Adam's smile quickly faded. "If you're in such a hurry to die, I don't want to disappoint you." He motioned to his men. They came into the bathroom and forced the two of them to their feet.
As they walked through the building. Lily was trying to come up with some sort of plan out of there. There was too many Horsemen for her and Opie to take on by themselves.
"I'm glad you came back," Opie said suddenly.
"Really," she said in surprise. "Even though we are basically walking to our execution?"
"Eh," he shrugged and looked down at her. "We ain't dead yet."
"Yet," she whispered.
They stopped in front of doors that led outside. When the Horsemen opened the doors, they were momentarily blinded by the sunlight. Once their eyes adjusted to the light, they saw all of their friends on their knees. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when her eyes connected with Happy's.
Lily and Opie were forced down into the mud next to Jax. Everyone was there that had come there with them. With the exception of Galindo's men, which meant she had guessed right about the blood.
"Any last words?" Adam asked everybody.
"You can go to hell," Jax said through his teeth.
"I plan on it," Adam laughed and started walking away.
"Have you forgotten who you're dealing with?" Lily asked in a last ditch effort to not die.
He slowly turned around. "What did you say?"
"I said you've forgotten who you're dealing with."
Adam was in front of her in a flash. "I know exactly who I dealing with."
She felt a barrel of a gun press up against the back of her head. "If you kill me, you will be hunted for the rest of your short life. Every Death Dealer will hunt you, your club, and your family."
"Fuck Death Dealers," Adam seethed. He pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Lily's forehead. "I'm not scared of you and your Death Dealers."
She pressed her head up to the barrel of Adam's gun. "You should be," she whispered. She sat back on her heels, ready for what came next.
The Horsemen that was standing behind Jax dropped first, and then the one next to him. Adam stumbled backwards when he saw his men dropping like flies. Once SAMCRO realized what was happening, they started to fight back.
Lily spun around and kicked the Horsemen's feet out from underneath of him. She pounced on top of him and started to beat the shit out of him. She was pulled off of him. She looked around seeing all the other Horsemen were. Adam seemed to have slipped away.
Lily felt immediate relief when she saw Scarlett and a dozen other Death Dealers walking out of the woods. All of them were fully armed. Some of them helped Alverez and Bobby to their feet, while others went after Adam.
"What the hell just happened?" Jax asked.
"Someone had to save your asses again," Scarlett said.
Happy was in front of Lily in a flash. He took hold of her shoulders and looked her sternly in the eye. "What kind of shit was that? Do you have a death wish?"
She shook his grip. "I do not have a death wish! I needed to remind him what would happen if he did kill me."
His jaw clenched. He didn't like what she did, but that didn't mean he wasn't happy to be with her. "Come here." He pulled her into his arms. "Don't ever do that again."
She relaxed into his arms. "No promises," she smiled. They did it. They took out the Devil's Horsemen, and they made it out alive. Lily looked to Scarlett. "You guys took your time getting here."
"Sorry, we hit traffic," she shrugged. She nodded towards the warehouse. "I think we made up for it."
Everyone turned around to see several Death Dealers dragging Adam out of the building. By the blood covering his face, it looked like he had tried to fight when he got cornered. The Death Dealers brought him to Lily's feet.
She looked down at him, her eyes narrowed. "Are you scared now?" she smirked.
Adam spit at her. Happy jumped between them and grabbed Adam by the neck. Lily bent down to get in his face.
"You will regret that," she threatened. She stood straight and looked to Jax. "What do you think? Carve him away until there's only pieces left?"
Jax slowly nodded. He had no idea what just happened. He just knew that Adam was gonna pay for what he did. "Take him to the reservation."
Happy nodded. "Will do," he grinned. He finally let go of Adam's neck. With the help of two Death Dealers, they hauled Adam off to the van.
Lily turned back to Scarlett. "Thank you for your help," she said while hugging her friend.
"Someone had to save the day," Scarlett shrugged.
"Sorry to interrupt this little reunion," Chibs said. "But can anyone tell us how this went so wrong?"
Lily shared a quick look with Jax. "My intel was good. They must've gotten tipped off somehow."
"You sayin' we have a rat?" Tig said, coming out of nowhere.
She rolled her eyes. "Look, we didn't exactly come quietly. They could have had anybody watching us from the clubhouse to here."
"Take it easy guys," Jax defended. "It's done. We did it. The only blood shed was Horseman and Galindo's men."
"All of Galindo's men are dead?" Lily questioned, her heart dropping.
Chibs nodded. "They were the first ones down."
Lily cursed to herself. That was four favors she owes to Galindo. That also didn't included any men he lost while taking over the Castillo warehouses in Mexico.
"We'll clean up here," Scarlett said. "I'll call you before we leave."
She nodded. "Thanks, I owe you guys."
Scarlett smiled and then headed into the warehouse with the other Death Dealers. Alverez and his men came over to Jax and Lily.
"Somehow you did it, Teller," Alverez said. He shook hands with Jax.
"Thank you," Jax said to him.
Alverez turned to Lily. "Until next time, Lily."
Lily gave Alverez a nod, and watched him and his crew walk away. She feel all of SAMCRO's eyes on her. "Anyone else feel like they need a drink and a shower?"
Everybody agreed. Jax threw his arm over Lily's shoulder. "Let's get you cleaned up," he said before kissing her on the cheek.
