"Do you wanna press charges?" Tyne looked over Sunshine before shaking her head. "So, you say Jax Teller did this to you? You have a witness?"

Sunny shrugged as she nodded her head. "I'm not pressing charges. I've had a man do much worse to me." She rolled her eyes. "I'm just passing through. Grabbing the last of my things from my old office. Figured moving out of here would kinda solidify things. You kinda stripped me of my title and all that I've worked for during the last decade or so but whatever."

"You're brilliant at what you do but you got too emotionally attached and you got too cocky." The older woman shook her head. "You'll have your position back in no time. Being a Marshal serves you well though. You're really on the frontline."

She scoffed and nodded again. "Yeah because I busted my ass in school and in my early years to end up as a US Marshal. Oh the joys of sitting through classes and having men tell me that I won't become shit." She looked at the badge. "I mean, this is empowering. I'm back in the middle of the boy's club. Ass grabbing and catcalling. Oh the joys."

Tyne smirked at the brunette. "I know that you'll overcome the diversity. It's nothing against you personally but I think you need this. Harden you and make you better for when you rise back up to your former position."

Sunshine chuckled. "I'm going to be gunning for your position. I'm not gonna settle and be your fall guy anymore. I've read the reports and I'm sorry if my volatile behavior scared your precious little snitch Tara. You're not going to get anything that'll stick. You're going to get some bullshit. Tara will be free to leave with her kids and Jax will serve a few months in jail. I grew up with Jax. Nothing comes before his club or Tara. He's smarter than you give him credit for."

"I'm well aware of Mr. Teller's intelligence. I'm getting all of my ducks in a row and double and triple checking everything." Tyne smiled. "You'll see. I'll get my victory. I wish you the best. Make sure you come to our swearing in ceremony tomorrow. Gia is going to be one hell of an ADA."

"Would not miss it." Sunshine nodded and smiled. "It's going to be a night to remember."

"Boo," Juice looked in the window at Sunny and grinned at her. "You suck at being a stalker. I spotted you very quick."

"Why are you here?" Sunny glanced away from the house Jax and Tara shared and looked at Juice. "Tara needs a Son to babysit her now?"

"Babysitting Gemma. Jax told me to stay close. She's here to talk to Tara. Seemed like it was important." He shrugged. "It's about the boys."

She nodded as she opened the car door. "I get it." She stepped out. "You're escorting Gemma and Roosevelt is with Tara." She took her gun out and released the safety. "I know Gemma had to make Tara as a rat." She moved towards the house before glancing back. "You coming?"

"Should I?" Juice hurried up. "They're just talking plus Tara isn't a rat."

"Ha." She stopped at the house, glancing through the window to see Gemma and Tara arguing. "They're not just talking." She rushed towards the door, letting herself in, only to stop behind Roosevelt. "What the fuck?"

"This is Roosevelt." Eli spoke into his walkie. "I need back up at the Teller--."

Sunny flinched at the sound of a gunshot before watching Eli drop to the ground. She lost her focus for a moment before turning and looking at Juice, her mouth slightly open before she fired her gun and watched Juice fall to the ground. She moved to him. Taking his gun before moving to Gemma and grabbing her roughly. "What did you do Gemma?"

"She was taking my boys." Gemma mumbled as she looked down at Tara. "She was a rat."

"She wasn't the rat." Sunny shook her head. "Jax was working with the feds." She cuffed the woman and sat her down in the chair before kneeling beside Tara and feeling for a pulse. Shallow but there. "This is US Marshal Vellenueva, I need medical at my location. I have an officer down and a female victim who is barely breathing. I have the shooters in custody and need help right now."

"Kill me," Juice looked over at Sunny. "Please just kill me. I'm dead anyways. Please, just kill me now."

"I can't." She looked at him. "Please just don't move. I can't help you all." She kept pressure on Tara's wound before looking at Eli. "Please just wake up. I can't fucking deal with all of this blood. Eli, are you still with me man? Gemma you know you're dead right?"

Gemma looked at the brunette before down at her daughter-in-law. "I don't think so. She was still trying to skip town with the boys. Jax wouldn't want that at all."

Sunny rolled her eyes as she shifted her weight, losing her footing and landing in the water on the floor before realizing it was more blood than anything else. "Yeah but they were working together as a family and not so much as enemies. So, at the end of the day, he knew what was happening and you just took it for face value and literally tried to kill the woman your son is madly in love with."

"You should be happy, frees him up for you." She shrugged. "I don't think you'd complain too much if you were to become step mom."

"I moved on from Jackson, I'm actually into someone else." She nodded before hearing sirens drawing closer. "You better hope you just get slapped with attempted murder, maybe they'll put you in a nice cell or something. Or you know, just plead your case to Jax and hope he doesn't kill you on sight."

Gemma scoffed. "It's always the pretty ones that get caught up in the dumb shit." She shook her head. "I never wanted them together but I didn't want you and him together either. She was the lesser evil so I thought."

Sunshine glanced up at the sound of voices. "In here! I need help right now! I've got two down! Help Eli first and then Tara and then Juice! She's barely breathing but I think we have a better chance at saving him than her. Please help him, then her."

"Miss Vellenueva," Tyne walked in, her eyes going wide at the scene before her. "What happened here?"

"Tara!" Jax exploded into the kitchen, his mouth falling open at the sight of his wife on the ground before he moved and dropped beside her, pulling her into his arms. "Tara, stay with me babe. I'm here, I'm here. What happened!? Who did this!? Did you do this?" He glared at Sunshine. "What did you do?"

"Save your wife from dying at the hands of your mother," Sunshine murmured as she was helped to her feet by an EMT. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Take her, she needs to be helped. She's barely hanging on. I'm good, I'm gonna ride with Roosevelt. Juice shot him and Gemma attacked her and I shot him to disable him and get him in cuffs. Got her cuffed and it's all that happened. Alright?"

Tyne nodded slowly as she moved towards the brunette. "You'll still have to come in for a statement and then you'll be free to go. Okay Miss Vellenueva?"

"Yeah, that's fine." She nodded slowly and looked at the woman. "I'll make my statement. Oh, Jax, not everyone is a fucking monster like you and your mom. I may hate Tara most of the time but I'd never try to kill her. Throw her in prison? Yes. Kill her? No. Arrest him too, I wanna press charges, assault on an officer."

"Wait, what!?" Jax looked at Sunshine. "You can't do this! I need to be with Tara! You can't do this shit! Please!"

"Maybe you'll post bail fast enough." She murmured. "Maybe Tyne will let you be escorted in cuffs to be with Tara. It's all up to the big boss now. I'll see you at the office for a statement."

"For the last time, I told you what happened," Sunny covered her face before trailing her fingers through her hair. "I saw them arguing through the window and I entered the premises. Juice was behind me and I saw Tara on the ground and Gemma standing above her. I heard the shot and Eli dropped so I turned around and discharged my weapon. I just hit him in the leg. I couldn't bring myself to fire a fatal shot. I suck with blood too."

Tyne looked at Sunshine carefully. "Gemma and Juice are in custody. Tara is in critical condition and Eli is still holding on barely. Right place, right time."

"Can I go home?" Sunny looked at the woman. "I want a hot shower and fresh clothes. I can't do this right now. I'm an attorney. I'm not supposed to shoot people or deal with blood. I can't deal with this. I'm not equipped to deal with this."

"Take a deep breath." She held out a glass of water. "Then sip on this slowly. I'll have someone take you home. We have your signed statement and if we need anything else, I will pay you a visit. Get some rest Ms. Vellenueva."

She stood up, holding the baggy sweatshirt tight against her body as she walked out of the room. Thoroughly traumatized by the past twelve hours. All she wanted to do was curl up in her shower and hope that all the memories would wash off like the blood that stained her skin. She choked back the tears, allowing the officer to help her into the back of the SUV. "Thank you."

"No problem." He smiled at her. "Straight home?"

"Yeah," she whispered. "Straight home please."

"It'll be a quick drive." He climbed into the front and glanced back. "You were a good officer today. Although I would've put a bullet in the fucker that shot Eli. The man didn't deserve that."

"We aren't trained to kill," she mumbled as she looked out of the window. "Shoot to disarm and detain. He'll suffer enough. His club will probably put a hit on him. It'll be hell but he made his bed. I tried to help him. Save him from himself. He didn't want my help. I couldn't help him."

"Some people don't want to be saved." He nodded. "It took five officers to get Jax under control when he saw his mom. It was pretty damn insane."

"She's dead too." She laughed. "It's weird. I need sleep. It's been a long day. From being fired to finding out my best friend took my job. To this bullshit. I just need a damn shower and my bed."

"I told you it would be a quick drive." He smiled at the brunette. "I will let Patterson know you got home safe. Looks like you've got company. Do you need me to stick around?"

"No, it's a friend." Sunny opened the door and climbed down. "Thank you though." She slammed the door before moving to her home, letting herself in before securing it behind her. "You know, a text to let me know you're gonna break in would've been nice."

"Are you okay?" Happy looked the brunette over before reaching out and touching her face. "I was at the hospital with Jax, heard the officer mention that you were there."

She shook her head. "I'm not okay." She looked at him and shrugged. "I'm gonna take a shower and then go to sleep. I need to find some peace even if it's temporary."

He nodded slowly. "I thought you were a badass?"

"Yeah, well this badass can't deal with blood." She peeled off the sweatshirt. "They took my clothes but I'm still bloody." She moved through the house and into her bedroom. "I can do badass things when it comes to being an attorney but nothing else." She walked into the bathroom, turning the shower on before stripping out of the rest of the clothes and stepping inside. "I just need peace."

"Yeah, well I just wanted to check on you." He sighed. "Please call me if you need anything, okay?"

"Will you stay?" She poked her head out of the shower. "Please? I don't wanna be alone."

He nodded as he looked at her. "I'll stay with you. I'll be waiting in the living room. Take your time."

"I'm done. I thought I'd feel better being clean but I don't." She stepped out and grabbed her towel. "Gemma was ready to kill. Almost did kill Tara."

Happy pulled the brunette into a hug and nodded. "It's not easy and it won't get any easier for you. I would start to worry if you got numb to this shit. You don't seem like the type who'd get a kick out of death and blood."

"You're so comforting." She chuckled. "I'm happy that you're doing your best to comfort me. I hope I never become numb to this. It's crazy. I don't like Tara one bit most of the time but I didn't want to see her dying on a soaked kitchen floor. Then fucking Juice is gonna shot a cop and beg for me to kill him because he's dead anyways. It was all too fucking much."

"Never was one to be comforting to anyone other than my Ma and Aunt." He shrugged slightly. "I'll get your aunt here to comfort you better okay? You need that right now. Will you be okay on your own?"

"I will be fine." She nodded slowly. "I'm gonna make me a cup of tea and just relax and find some peace within my thoughts. Thank you, I appreciate it."

Happy nodded. "I'll be right back. Don't do anything stupid and don't let anyone in. Do you have your gun?"

Sunshine gave a single nod. "I won't let anyone in. I promise and if someone breaks in, I'll make sure to fire a fatal shot this time. Now go get my aunt. I kinda need her right now."
