There are a few things Tara Knowles Teller knew about her husband Jax Teller. The few things that made her fall in love with him, even more, every day. His love and devotion to her and their boys and their six-month-old baby girl. His loyalty to his brothers and his club, most importantly of how very protective he is over her. Just twenty minutes after Tara dropped the boys off at Donna and Opie's, so they can play with Kenny and Ellie. Tara was on her way home when Tara was suspiciously being followed. She also knew being the wife and old lady of Jax Teller, also meant there was going to be danger and the club had lots of rivals that were always going to be coming after them.
With shaky breath and trembling hands. Tara quickly looked over and saw Shannon still sleeping in her car seat. Looking through her review mirror, Tara noticed the unfamiliar van was still right behind her. Gripping the steering wheel tightly. Tara stepped on the gas and made a quick and fast left turn on their street.
Tara then sighs in relief as she noticed the van was gone. Pulling up into the driveway. Tara turned off the engine and quickly got her cell and called Jax right away. Tara knew Jax was gonna be in Stockton today on club business and she hates pulling him away. But after being followed especially with her daughter in the car. Tara was still feeling shaken up by it. It also brought up a very bad memory as well.
" Hey babe, I am almost done. I should be home in a couple of-."
" I was being followed." Tara quickly said cutting him off.
Jax sat up straight and very alert." What?" Jax asked.
" I was on my way home after dropping the boys off at Opie's when a black van followed me home. I was able to make a quick turn and lost the van." Tara says as she explained to him what just happened, as she was trying to keep her voice from shaking.
" Where are you now?"Jax asked as he watched his brothers walking towards him. By the tone of his voice. They knew something was wrong.
" I am in the driveway." answered as she glanced over at Shannon once more who was still sleeping.
" Is Shannon with you?" Jax asked with concern and worry.
" Yeah, but she's fine. She's sleeping right now." Tara says softly as she didn't want to wake her baby girl right now.
Jax closed his eyes and sighs in relief as he heard his girls made it home safe." Take Shannon back into the house and lock the door. Make sure you have that gun I gave you, on you. I am on my way." Jax instructed her.
" Okay Jax, I love you."
" I love you too babe," Jax says as he ended the call and placed his burner back into his cut, and stood up.
" What happened, Jackie Boy?" Chibs asked in concern.
" Someone was following Tara on her way home with our daughter." Jax says angrily as he walked over to Nero." Hey man, I gotta get home. I got a family emergency." Jax says as he didn't want to get into too many details right now.
" Is everything okay?" Nero asked with concern.
" I don't know." That's what I need to find out."
" Go, I will handle things here mano," Nero says with a nod.
" Thanks," Jax says as he quickly walked out with Chibs, Bobby, Tig, and Opie right behind him. Ever since Gemma almost killed Tara last year. Jax has been staying by her side and protecting her ever since. But today Jax had club business to handle in Stockton and he had to leave Tara alone. That mistake will never happen again.
After he quickly strapped on his helmet and got his Dyna started. Jax speeds out and went straight home, to check on Tara and their daughter.
" ...And are you sure, you never saw the van before? Like maybe before today?" Bobby asked. It's been over an hour since Jax came home after Tara called him. The club was all sitting around in their living room. Tara had just explained to Jax and the club, about what happened an hour ago.
Tara just shook her head as she shrugged her shoulders." No, if I did I would have more information to give you guys. I got nothing to worry about do I?" Tara asked.
" No, so far it's been quiet lately, and if there was something going on we would be the first to know about it," Tig responded with a nod. Tara just nods her head in relief.
" Hey, babe why don't you go check on Shannon while I talk to the guys," Jax says softly.
Tara nods her head." Yeah, okay." Tara responded as she stood up from the couch and walked down the hall towards Shannon's nursery. Tara walked in and closed the door behind her.
" For .a year now, we haven't had any problems with anyone. We are finally out of the gun business. So there's absolutely no reason why someone is coming after my family." Jax says shaking his head." No fucking reason." He said angrily.
" I just talked to Donna, she doesn't remember seeing a black van parked outside our house today," Opie informed them as he came back into the living room and stood by the couch and the chair.
Jax just nods his head.
Jax then noticed Juice hasn't said anything in ten minutes." You've been kinda quiet over there Juice. If you know something, you better speak up brother." Jax says as he raised his brow.
" I have been hearing rumors lately."
" What kind of rumors?" Opie asked
" That, there might be a new club that's trying to move in," Juice answered with a shrug.
" And, you just now fucking tell me?!" Jax snapped.
" Sorry, I didn't really think of it since it seems to be rumors that's all."
" What's the name of this new club?" Chibs asked.
" They call themselves Ghost Riders."
" I need you to find everything you can on this club. Before anything happens and before we do anything. I need to know everything about this club." Jax says looking at Juice.
" I am on it brother," Juice responded with a nod.
" Good, I want two prospects sitting out of the front of my house tonight, And I want another two prospects outside of Opie's as well. Is that good with you bro?" Jax asked as he looks over at Opie.
" Yeah, I am going to go check on Donna. Do you want Donna to bring the boys back?" Opie asked before he starts to leave.
" Nah, Tara or I will pick them up a little later."
After Opie and the rest of the guys left, Jax hung up his cut on the hook that was hanging on the wall by the kitchen. The thought of his old lady being followed with their daughter right in the back seat didn't sit well with Jax. He needs to handle this soon before something happens. But for now, he just needs to spend time with his girls.
Walking towards Shannon's nursery, Jax breathed softly as he leans against the door frame in content as he watched Tara rocking their six-month-old daughter back and forth in the chair. The exact same chair that was in Abel's and then Thomas's room. He grins as he was loving the view right now.
Tara could feel Jax watching her as she smiles softly. She slowly lifted her head, Did they leave already?" Tara asked as she continues to rock their daughter to sleep.
" Yeah, they left." Jax says as he walked more into the nursery and sat down on the day bed beside Tara." You doing okay?" Jax questioned out of concern and worry. Ever since what happened to Tara at the park just a few years ago, and with what happened to her hand, Of course, what happened between his mom and his old lady last year, Jax knows Tara has been a little more cautious about things.
Tara took a very deep breath as she looks down at Shannon who was now sleeping." When the van was following me, at first I didn't think too much into it. I just thought they were just gonna past me or turned in the other direction. But when it was still right behind me, I kinda got a deja vu kind of thing, and all I could remember is how I suddenly got snatched up right in front of my boys. I could hear the crushing sound of the bones in my hand when it got slammed into the van door in my head." Tara says in a very shaky voice.
" Jesus Christ." Jax ran his hands down his face the event of that day started to replay that day in his head. Tara had just gotten a job offer at Providence Hospital in Oregon and they were planning on moving there once Tara had given St. Thomas her two weeks notice, and he was going to leave Samcro but now that was on the back burner.
" Are you gonna pick up the boys later?" Tara asked breaking Jax's thoughts as she settled Shannon into her crib. She had thought about going herself but after what just happened, Tara decided against it.
" Yeah, later," Jax responded as he got up and walked up behind Tara. Wrapping his arms around her waist and snuggling into her neck, Jax breathes in her scent as he places small kisses against her neck." I promise I will never leave you alone and unprotected ever again." He murmured softly.
" Jax, we both know you can't watch me twenty-four seven. You got a club that needs you." Tara says with a sigh." Besides I can take care of myself." Tara says softly.
Jax turned Tara around as he rested both hands against both sides of her neck, lifting her face up." You need me more babe, I am gonna have two prospects staying outside our house and I want to put Chibs on you."
" Jax, I-"
" It's to keep you and our family safe. I don't want what happened last year to happen again." Jax says as he lifted her hand that's still in a cast up as he gently pressed his lips against her knuckles." Chibs is the only one I trust to keep you safe." Jax trusts all his brothers to keep his family safe, but Chibs can protect her more.
Tara just nods her head in agreement." Do we even know they are?" Tara asked.
Jax sighs as he shook his head." Some unknown club, they call themselves Ghost Riders." Jax says with a shrug.
" What the hell are they doing in Charming?" Tara asked as she brought her brows together.
" That's the million-dollar question. Juice is supposed to find everything out about them."
The men who were driving the van came walking into the clubhouse they build outside of Charming. It wasn't big as Samcro's but it was big enough for their club. The two men walked back into their president's office. Opening the door the first man walked in first. But before he could get a word in their President shook his head in disappointment.
" You were supposed to kidnap Samcro's President old lady and bring her here. Not come back empty-handed." Their President says angrily as he sighs and pinched the bridge of his nose." You two better have a very good explanation for why you failed me."
" We were right on her tail, but she turned left and we lost her after that." Owen the Prospect said with a sigh.
" Fuck!" Brock the President yelled out he tossed his empty glass against the wall as it shattered all over his office floor. For months now Brock has been trying to get rid of Samcro and to take over Charming. He was getting sick and tired of not being able to settle into one place. He wanted Charming and he will do anything to get it.
" Do you want us to try again?" Ryder the other prospect asked.
" No, shit head. I don't. You two already fucked up today. Clean this shit up." Brock says as he got up from his desk and headed towards the main room. He needs to come up with another plan on how to get Samcro's President old lady without fail...
