Chapter 30: So

Clay POV

Things had been rough the last couple of weeks. Jax had slipped into depression which was understandable. Tara was trying her best to be there for him. Gemma was in hiding. And Bells…don't know what we'd do without her. She's the one holding everyone together. I'd made a mental note to do something nice for her and Ope when this was all over.

"Laroy called. They found the guy." Bobby said pulling me from my thoughts.

"Okay." I said. "You talk to Tig?" I asked. I hated that I had pulled Tig away from Bells but at least she had Ope and wasn't completely alone.

"Yeah." Bobby said. "They moved Gemma to a motel outside Rogue River. Club friendly. Look, Tig and the Oregon guys…they'll take care of her. She's gonna be okay."

"I don't want her finding out about Abel." I said.

"I know." Bobby said. "Had to tell her about Sack. That shit's been all over the papers, but the kidnapping hasn't hit the news. We should be able to protect her from it."

I nodded. "Where is he?" I asked.

Opie stuffed his hands in his pockets. "PD let 'em back into the house yesterday." He said.

"How's Bell holding up?" I asked Opie.

He shrugged. "She's worried about the both of them. Jax stayed in bed the whole time. Only reason he got up yesterday was because we told them that they could go home." Ope said. "She wants to help but she doesn't know how."

"She's doing everything that we need her to be doing right now. She's holding everyone together." I said and Opie nodded. "Let's go get him."

Opie POV

We headed over to Jax's house. Tara let us in. "Where is he?" I asked her.

"Nursery." She said.

I made my way back towards the nursery to find Jax laid out in the floor surrounded by liquor bottles. "Shit." I said. Thank god Bells was at the garage and not here. "Jax."

"Jackie Boy. Come on kid." Chibs said.

"He's been like this since it happened. I don't know what to do." Tara said down the hall.

"We'll take care of him." Clay said.

I tried to help Jax out of the floor but he was all dead weight. "We got some info on Abel." I said picking him up. "Laroy found a guy who some ID for Cameron." I told him.

"Hey Jackie boy, come on shower. Come on." Chibs said to Jax. "Come on." We walked into the bathroom and started the shower.

Tig POV

I hated being away from Charming right now. I had this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad was going to happen. I was worried about Bells. We still didn't know anymore about what the Italians were planning and why they wanted her so badly.

Gemma was currently talking to Clay and they were talking about burying the prospect who'd been killed in front of Tara. Gemma didn't know about Abel being kidnapped and we were hoping to keep it that way.

Tara POV

"Thanks." Ope told me when they'd gotten Jax into the shower.

I smiled at him. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked Clay.

"Sure." He said.

"Hale pushed it back as far as he could, but I have to talk to Stahl and the FBI today, tell them what I saw." I said.

"Okay."

"Well, I tried to ask Jax what I should…" I trailed off.

"As much of the truth as you can. We want everybody looking for Abel. Just give them the basics. Feds know who Cameron is, his real IRA ties. All you gotta do is leave out the details about our association." Clay said.

"But if those details help find him…"

"They won't." Clay said. "Cameron killed Sack, he took my grandson 'cause Stahl lied and framed Gemma. That's the real truth." I sighed. "You've done good, sweetheart, you really stepped up. You're the best thing that happened to Jax."

Bella POV

I was sitting in the office when Tara came in. "Hey what're you doing here?" I asked.

"Jax dumped me." She said.

"What're you talking about? Jax loves you." I told her.

"He blames me for Abel." She said.

"Did he say that?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No he's saying that I need to get out that he's not good for me." She said.

"I think that he's just scared. After what happened with Abel…he doesn't want anything to happen to you." I told her.

Hale POV

"I hear your moving offices." Jacob says from my doorway.

"Yeah. It'll be official next Thursday." I said.

"That's good. You deserve it." Jacob said.

"Thanks." I said. "So, what do you need, Jake?"

"It's been a rough week." Jacob said.

I leaned back in my chair. "Yeah."

"That shit with Zobelle…I'm sorry. Hmm?" Jacob said.

"Doesn't matter now. He's interpol's problem. Weston's dead, courtesy of Clay I'm sure."

Bella POV

Opie had called and let me know that they chasing down a lead on Cameron. I was hoping that they would find out something soon. I was ready for Abel to come home. Then we would just need to figure out how to clear Gemma's name.

That night, Opie came in while I was getting ready for Half-Sack's funeral. He sat on the bed. "Everything okay?" I asked him.

"I don't know babe. Jax is struggling. The lead was a dead end." Opie said.

I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry baby. You will find Abel and then we're gonna find a way to clear Gemma and everything will be okay." I told him.

"I hope that your right." Ope said.

Things seemed to be getting worse in Charming. David Hale had been murdered. Ran over in the street during Half-Sack's memorial. Things were about to get bad, I just hoped that we all survived it.
