Taming Ava & Fixing Jax - A Modern Fairytale
Chapter 44 Fight or Flight
"
Author's Note: I hate when I make mistakes but despite all my hundreds of hours of viewing SOA, I mistook the first name for Lowen as Ellie and it is actually Ally. I'm making the change with this chapter and as time permits, I'll fix the previous chapters. Sorry. Wanted to be honest about my mistake and fix it.
Also if you notice a mistake or a continuity error, please let me know so I can it. It's surprising how easy it is to make mistakes about little things. There's a lot of remember with all the stories.

Ally Lowen was worried and it had nothing to do with losing her law license. She could apply in two years for reinstatement. She just hoped she'd be alive in two years. That prospect was looking less and less likely.
After Jax and his bitch bride paid her a visit, she had to face the fact there was no easy way out of this legal mess. She knew Jax well enough to know that he would be relentless in his quest to find out who paid her to screw up his defense.
He'd made it clear that if he couldn't turn some legal screw on her to get the name, he'd be willing to beat it out of her. He would only be patient for so long.
If she told Jax she'd worked with Clay to get him convicted, Clay would kill her. He would kill her to prevent him from telling Jax and he would kill her if she told Jax. Either way, it looked like she was going to get killed; it was only an issue of who and when.
There was another possibility—she could run. Sell or rent her house, take the cash she'd stolen from clients over the years and travel. After a couple of years, she could apply to get her law license reinstated and open another practice far from Charming. If she left town and kept her mouth shut, Clay wouldn't bother trying to find her. That wouldn't stop Jax and TB had the resources to find her. That wasn't going to work.
There was another solution. Murder. If she killed Clay, her problem with Clay was over, but Jax would still come after her legally and he might kill her. He was hot tempered. He could snap and kill her for what she'd done to him.
She could kill Jax. That would take care of her problem with Clay. If she did it cleanly leaving no clues behind, Unser and Hale would put it down to MC violence. Her problems would be over.
All she had to do now was plot the perfect murder and carry it out flawlessly. This time, she wouldn't pay someone to kill Jax. That had failed twice. This time, she would kill Jax herself.
The longer she waited, the more likely it was that Clay would kill her.
Kill or be killed. That was the basic fact of life. She was just going to have to kill Jax if she wanted to keep living.
