Chapter 9- Tacoma Invasion

"What's it to you?" Tommy asked the Nomad.

He shook his head, "nothing, just wondering how close the two actually are" Noah tried to dig himself out of the whole he dug for himself.

Abel and Katie were going at each other. Neither one was willing to back down. "Mac is following you around and that is final" he ordered.

"When hell freezes over. I am going to spend time with my friend and we are going to do it in peace, without a shadow. We are staying around town, so we'll be fine" she argued before stomping off, back to her brother's room to get her clothes and stuff to leave.

Abel looked over at the group of guys staring at them in amusement. "She is going to have a fucking shadow whether she likes it or not" he stated before storming off to the garage.

Before anyone could say anything, Katie came back out of the back, with her bag and clothes in her arms. She stopped in front of Tommy and the rest of them.

"I am going to say this one time" she started, "If I see Mac, Terry, or any other club member following me this week, I am going to castrate you all in your sleep and dose the crow eaters with hormones" she threatened before storming away, smirking when she noticed all the guys covering their packages.

"Aww, come on, you wouldn't do that to me baby cakes" Joey prodded, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Katie winked and yelled out her window, "sorry, your guilty by association stud muffin" she teased before driving off the lot and back home.

Joey smirked at her response before turning to guys, "anyone else excited about this week?" laughing when all he heard was groaning.

Saturday night, the guys were ready to deal with the drug problem in their territory. Joey, Happy, Kozik, Abel, and Tommy were ready to handle things.

Joey was laying between the trees on top of a hill across from the drug warehouse with his sniper rifle to watch his brothers backs.

Abel and Tommy took the front, while Happy and Kozik took the back of the warehouse. Once everyone was in position, they barged into the house.

It was a shootout. They found a lab of drugs and some tweakers just trying to get stoned and get high.

Once the situation was dealt with, they took one of the druggies to the safehouse for Happy to deal with him later and figure out who was selling and supplying them drugs.

The guy was only hanging from the meat hook, blood dripping down his bod, begging for Happy to stop.

"You want him to stop, you tell me what I want to know. Who gave you the drugs?" Abel asked from leaning against the wall across from him.

"Was it Darby?" Tommy added.

"No, No, man…please…just stop…I'll tell you" he cried when Happy cranked up the chainsaw.

"Who was it?" Abel growled at him.

He was getting tired of the run around. He needed to get ready for his sister's friend to come around.

"It was Jose, from Diablos" he cried.

"Who the fuck are the Diablos?" Kozik asked no one in particular.

"We will talk to Ricky and the Mayans" Abel said turning and walking out of the room, nodding at Happy. He knew what he needed to do.

Once the job was done, Happy made sure to clean up and rid of the evidence, meaning, getting rid of the body.

He picked up the body parts and put everything he used in a big black garbage bag to get rid of it when he was done cleaning up.

Happy stood charge, making sure the room was spotless. For as mean and scary as he was, he was a neat freak. He hated a mess.

After making sure everything was clean, he dosed the warehouse with gasoline and lit up the place. They wanted to make sure there was no evidence left behind.

When everything was all cleaned up and taken care of, the guys looked at each other with a look that said a job well done.

"You done?" Noah asked Happy as the guy looked at the killer who had a smirk on his face as he watched the warehouse blow up.

Happy looked at the rest of the guys with a creepy smile and nodded, "let's go" he said turning back to the bikes.

The guys were splattered with blood. The first thing that Noah did when he got back to the clubhouse was hop in the shower, scrubbing his skin raw. His clothes would be burned. Nothing he did would get rid of the smell.

Rubbing his hands over his face, over the top of his head, he couldn't help but rest his head on the wall in front of him, raising his arms over his head so the water fell on top of him.

He was not looking forward to this week. Seeing Katie with that jock punk was going to kill him and eat him alive.

Taking a deep breath before running his hands over his face one more time, he sighed and got out of the shower. Time to face reality.

Katie was crazy busy trying to get everything ready for Parker. She had a whole week of things planned for them to do.

She was finishing up her last shift before getting ready for her friend to come visit. She got really lucky her mom got her the job at the hospital in ER registration. She got to see all the traumas and a whole bunch of things she wouldn't get to see at school.

Aside from that, she was helping her grandma Gemma in the office at TM. When she first got back from school, her grandma said the guys fucked up the paperwork in the office and everything was a mess. She said she needed a degree to help her get things on track.

It was great. She got to learn a ton. She made sure to catch up with her friends and keep them updated on what was going on with them.

Jax and the guys couldn't help but laugh at how much she talked to them. It was constant.

Taking a break on the picnic tables, she pulled out her phone to text her friends.

"So, skittles, you missing me yet?" Parker teased.

Katie laughed, considering he was coming within the next couple days, she was anxiously awaiting his arrival.

"Don't be an ass. You know I miss you. I can't wait to see you Sunday" she was extremely excited.

"I know. You know, I actually missed the glares and threats from all the guys. My weekends are different without them" he replied.

Katie couldn't help but burst out laughing when she read that text. "I'll be sure to let Happy know that you miss him" she said loud enough to get the guys attention, especially the Tacoma Killer.

"Who you talking to kid?" Happy asked.

"Parker, he misses you" she informed him.

Happy smirked and shook his head, "that kid still going strong?" he stated.

"You know you miss him Happy" she teased.

He cracked a smile and shook his head going back into the clubhouse.

Noah came out to the lot to see Happy smiling and hearing Katie laughing while she was staring at the phone. "Who's she talking to?" he asked the guys.

"Parker. I guess they are going over things for his visit" Tommy explained.

Noah nodded, trying to hide his glare. He was not looking forward to Parkers visit. He could see that Katie was bouncing around the clubhouse with excitement. She was telling everyone who would listen that her friend was coming over to visit.

Things with Noah had been strained since their last encounter and he found out that Parker was coming to Charming for a visit.

The ball was in Noah's court. Katie tried her hardest to find time with him and spend secret time with him but he was stand-offish with her. She knew he was worried about her dad and her brothers but she figured he would have gotten over it.

A few days later…

Katie pulled into the clubhouse and parked next to her mom's jeep. Her mom was in the office doing the paperwork for the garage when she walked over and plopped on the couch.

Mia looked at her daughter with a big smile on her face. She looked like she was beaming. "Hi honey, you look happy, you excited for Parker to come visit?" she asked her daughter already knowing the answer to her question.

Katie nodded, "yup, I am so excited for him to come visit. I need one of the musketeers. Things have been rough with Noah doing absolutely nothing about us, so I need some support" she replied being completely honest with her mom.

Her mom was her best friend. She understood what her daughter was going through because she went through it with Jax.

Mia got up from the desk and walked over to the couch, wrapping her arm around her daughter's shoulders. "Honey, I know things have been rough with Noah and everything, but you need to keep hanging on. He will get it eventually, he just needs to get his head out of his ass" she stated.

Katie let out a deep breath and wiped a hand over her face, "mom, I can't take this anymore. I mean, I haven't told anyone but Jules and Parker about this, but he took my v-card and then got scared and ran. How am I supposed to deal with that?" Katie asked.

Mia huffed, looking at her daughter with sympathy. "Oh honey, you know I am always here for you" she kissed her daughter's temple.

Katie wiped her tears, "thanks mom, I better get in there and set up some stuff for Parker and I" she said as she wiped her face and got up to walk out to the clubhouse.

She brought some lunch and food from home for them, so she started working in the kitchen. She carried the cooler bag from the car to the kitchen in the clubhouse and started separating everything to get cooking.

She started on the bbq chicken and put it in the slow cooker to fully roast and sit in the sauce so it was moist and juicy.

While that was cooking, she moved to the cold stuff. She made some pasta salad and some Italian oriental salad for them.

It was a couple hours later when she heard a car pull up and she perked up. She dropped the paper plates on the table and ran outside.

She saw Parker pull in the lot and park next to her jeep.

"PARKER" she squealed as she took off running when she saw him park. Before he could even completely get out of the car, she launched ito his arms.

He laughed and caught her, wrapping his arms around his back, holding her against him as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.

"I missed you too Princess" he laughed against her neck, kissing her cheek.

She pulled back, still in his arms, "I missed you soo much. You have no idea how much I needed you here" she said.

"MHMHM" a throat cleared behind them.

Parker let Katie down, his arm still around her as they turned to see the whole club behind them.

"Mom, Dad, you remember Parker" she introduced.

Jax and Mia stepped forward and greeted the college co-ed. "Nice to see you again. Welcome to Charming" Mia greeted.

"Thanks, it's a pleasure to be here Mrs. Teller" he replied.

"These are my brothers, Abel and Tommy" Katie continued to introduce everyone.

"Nice to put a face to a name. Katie talked about you all a lot" Parker stated.

The guys just nodded as Katie went down the line introducing everyone to Parker. She tensed when she got to Noah though.

"And this is Noah Quinn, he's a Nomad. Travels between the clubs when they are needed" she introduced for the second time.

Parker and Noah started at each other. Noah with a glare, Parker with a smirk. He put his hand out and shook Quinn's hand. "Nice to meet you" Parker said.

Noah glared as he shook the other guys hand, "yeah you too" he replied before turning to walk away and put a cigarette in his mouth.

He was going to need some medicinal help to get through this stupid Tacoma Invasion.
