So I am posting a day early as my schedule tomorrow has gone a little chaotic. So here it goes the follow up story to Home Sweet Home, Fighting Back, Everything Changes and Fractured.

I know that it has been a long time since I last posted and I hope I am still able to deliver the type of writing that previous followers of this saga have come to like. I love Sons of Anarchy; I love my OC and the story I have created for her I hope this story does all of them proud.

I would, as always love to hear your thoughts on this story. I will be updating once a week. Just to set the scene this is a setting chapter to get where we need to be.

Here we go…..

Chapter 1

He thought that he had pulled it off, everything was set, he had planned everything down to the last detail, but Jaxon Teller had underestimated his enemy and had not been able to foresee the police.

Tig had pulled the trigger on Pope, finally exacting the revenge on the man that had burnt his daughter alive. This was the part of the plan that went exactly how Jax had planned even down to the detail that Tig accepted that by pulling the trigger he would be using a gun that belonged to someone who he had served for countless years, been his right hand man, but Tig along with his brothers accepted that Clay was not the man that they knew anymore and the club was changing. So Tig was on board, he could exact his revenge on Pope and they would plant the gun and therefore setting Clay up for the murder.

Yes all was going to plan until he met with August Marks.

When August Marks had been unable to get a hold of Pope he knew something was wrong, Pope always answered. So with that in mind he had put into place the back up plan. Samcro would understand their place.

Jax pleaded his case, confirmed that Clay Morrow had in fact been arrested for the murder. He watched August Marks eyes as he finally believed him but it was the actions that followed that sent a shiver throughout his whole body.

August snaked his cell from his jacket and frantically started making some calls. Although he was only hearing one side of the conversation Jax knew what happened and what had been put into motion. 'An eye for eye' that is what Popes motto had been and Jax knew that Pope's right had man would follow through if Pope was unable to.

Jax's thoughts went straight to his wife, his kids, Nicole. They weren't safe!

His fears had been confirmed. August confirmed that his wife and children were safe, however she had been arrested. The police barging through the doors, had made Pope's men step down as they were moments away from breaking down the doors and killing her. Although Tara and his boys were safe this just filled Jax with more questions and worry. He managed to compose himself and ask about his cousin. August confirmed that he sent his men after her but now he couldn't get a hold of them.

Jax let out a frustrated breath. He didn't need this.


Happy sat with Tig at the clubhouse bar. Tig was drowning himself in whiskey and Happy couldn't blame him. Although Clay and Happy's relationship had been deteriorating for sometime due to his connection with Nicole, this was a big step Tig had done, setting up his brother, so this is why Happy didn't blame Tig for feeling guilty.

Happy took a pull on his beer when his eyes went to the door as he watched his President enter. He felt Tig stiffen next to him. Now Happy knew that Tig was trying to get right with this and he knew that setting Clay up was needed, but right now Tig was half a bottle in and emotional. Happy got to his feet, clapped his hand on Tigs shoulder reassuringly and went to his president.

As he got closer Happy could tell something was wrong.

"What is it?" Happy rasped getting to the point.

"Tara's been arrested."

"What for?" Jax looked over at Tig and shrugged in answer to his brothers question. Tig scoffed and went back to his whiskey. Jax frowned. He would allow this today as Tig had done what was needed but something told Jax that he would need to keep an eye on him, betraying Clay may have further repercussions.

"Prez?" Happy's voice gained back Jax's attention. He watched his brothers jaw flex. How was he going to say this Jax thought as he looked at his brother.

"You heard from Nicole?" Happy shook his head. Jax nodded running his hand over his face before he continued. "Marks had a plan B, reassurance if anything happened to Pope."

Happy didn't need to hear anymore. He pulled out his phone and dialled her number. It went straight to voicemail.

"He tried to call his men off but he couldn't get hold of them."

Happy started pacing barely hearing what Jax was saying. He called another number this time Phil. No answer. His temper rising at each unanswered call. He tried another number, Lee, voicemail. Lorca…voicemail.

Everyone in the clubhouse turned their attention to Happy when he threw his beer at the wall. Happy knew something was wrong that she was in danger, but the fact was it wasn't just her. She was carrying his kid if she was in danger so was the kid.

"Hap." Jax cautiously made his way towards his brother, he could feel the heat radiating from him.

"I'm going." Jax nodded he didn't need to confirm where he meant.

"Take V-lin with you, not having you ride alone." Happy nodded knowing that it wasn't a request but an order. Jax looked at the bar at V-Lin who like everyone was transfixed on the two of them. V-Lin wasted no time in heading to his dorm to grab some essentials for the trip.

"I'll go." Both heads turned to Tig

"No I need you here with Gemma. And I have to head to Oregon get my kids and sort out Tara."

Happy looked between the two of them, he didn't give a shit who was going where, he was going to Tacoma that was all that mattered so with that he started to head for his dorm as V-Lin had done so he could grab a few essentials.

He could hear the exchange between Jax and Tig continue, well that was till his phone started ringing. The clubhouse went silent.

The ID flashed Lee and Happy felt an uncomfortable flip in his stomach. He answered the call. He was quiet just listening to the information that he was being told. Jax and Tig closing the gap between them. Happy hung up only confirming that he was on his way.

"Hap?" Happy had to try and control his rage when his eyes met Jax.

"She in the Hospital, along with Lee's old Lady."

"How bad?" Happy didn't answer Tig's question as he disappeared down the hall. He had no more time to waste. He needed to get to Tacoma. He needed to get to her.


Lorca was taken off guard when he heard metal hitting metal but with a glance over his shoulder his stomach dropped to see the SUV purposeful drive into Pams truck, veering it off the road. He hit the brakes of his bike and turned to face the truck that rammed the truck off the road.

He pulled his gun and with four shots he killed the passenger and the driver. When the van came to a stop Lorca went straight over to make sure that the threat was dead.

Lorca looked back for Phil, but he couldn't see him. He would have to wait though. He had to get to them. But first he fired off an SOS text.


Lorca made his way down the embankment and towards the truck that was on overturned. His pace increasing when the smell of gas hit his scenes. He needed to work fast.

"Pam…Pam…" He shouted as he approached the drivers side. Pam turned her head she couldn't make out the figure as her eyes adjusted to the surrounding but she knew the voice.

"Lorc.. Lorca I'm stuck."

Lorca assessed the truck for the best point of entry, it was a mess, but as the windscreen was pretty well fucked so he decided that was his way in.

"I'm going to break the glass you need to cover yourself ok, Pam can you do that? Pam?" Pam nodded in response.

Lorca was so relieved when he got to the truck to see that Pam was breathing, she was hurt but she was lucid and talking to him.

She was alive and right now he was relieved that he didn't have to make the call to his brother saying otherwise. He just hoped that he wouldnt have to make that call to another brother.

He moved further down the truck so that he could get sight of her, she wasn't. "Nicole, Nicole." Lorca shouted trying to reach her, it took a couple of calls of her name before her eyes finally connected with his, but he could tell that she wasn't completely coherent right now. But Lorca continued.

"I need you to protect yourself, I'm going break this glass. You understand?" He watched as she nodded and slowly moved her arm to cover her face, he couldn't help but notice the blood staining her shirt, or the shard of glass that was wedge into her side…Fuck was all that Lorca could think. Lorca kicked serveal times at the windscreen.

Once the glass had given way Lorca went to Pam but she shook off his efforts.

"No, get her out first."

"Pam."

"The baby. She's pregnant."

"Ah shit…" Knowing that she was right Lorca turned his attention to Nicole. He tried the seat-belt but it was jammed. His hand wait to his waistband and he pulled out his knife. He started cutting the seat-belt carefully. He knew if he went to fast she would just drop and the fact that she had a shard of glass lodged in her side and she was pregnant he knew that if she landed wrong he could possibly kill her or the baby.

Once she was free and in his arms. he carried her a good distance away from the truck and laid her down on the grass. He moved her onto her side and quickly removed his cut and laid it under her head. She was coherent, moaning but her eyes were shut. He told her to stay still, not to move. Lorca couldn't have her lodge the glass in any deeper.

Pam was easier to free from the wreckage and she was steadier on her feet, but he still insisted on carrying her to where had laid Nicole.

He wasn't surprised that despite her own injuries Pam went straight to Nicole. Lorca watched as Pam looked at the shard of glass lodged into Nicole's side.

"We need to get her to a hospital NOW."

"I Know" Lorca was fully aware that both women and possibly his brother required medical help, but his eyes looked back to the road at the SUV. Two dead bodies, shot by him, if he didn't get them out of here now or the only place, they would all be going was to the Sheriff's department.

"Lorc!" Pam shouted gaining back his attention

"I know" Lorca replied again. He ran his hand over his face trying to think quick, how could he get them out of this. He needed to see if Phil was still alive. He touched Pams arm gaining her attention away from the young girl. "I need to find Phil; I need you to stay here." His hand moved to her face. He wiped at her blood-stained cheek and knew that she too, was not ok. "I promise I will get you both to a hospital, just stay with me ok?" Pam nodded.

This was a fucking mess, and all for a fucking Whiskey run! He was going to kill the younger Kozik. Lorca made his way up the bank and he almost let out a loud cry when he heard the familiar rumble…his brothers.

Continuing his search as the rumble on bikes approached, Lorca found Phil in the grass verge. He looked intact. Probable road rash but it didn't look as though the truck has connected with him. That was something.

"Phil, come on brother." Lorca reached out to the large man and helped to his feet. "You whole?"

"Yeah. Nicole?"

"Not good" With that sentence the band of brothers came to stop beside Lorca, Lee the first to speak.

"Where is she?"

When Lee had received the SOS of message he knew something bad had gone down and his heart sank as Lorca was with his wife. Barking orders for his brothers to follow Lee ran to his bike. He didn't need an address, he old lady was heading to the store, she always did what she said and there was only one road to the store. He keep going till he found her. Thankfully it wasn't long until they drove upon their brothers, but he didn't like what he was seeing.

"She's down there" Lorca cocked his head behind. He could see Lee ease a little with his reassurance that his Old Lady was ok. "Two dead." This time Lorca pointed to the black SUV. "This was an attack."

"This was Pope." Lorca shook his head. Damn Samcro bullshit bleeding onto them, he knew having her here would bring shit like this, he expressed it quite clearly to Lee, but as Lee said they couldn't say no to the mother charter.

Lorca nodded along with his other brothers to the instruction Lee was giving them. They needed the SUV gone before they could call the emergency services. As Phil's bike was fucked, he was to drive the SUV along with the dead bodies as far away as possible, Lorca and Quinn to follow him. They could deal with the clean-up.

Lee remained at the scene, now business was handled he wasted no time in getting to Old Lady.

Upon his approach he could see that his Old Lady was doing her thing, comforting the young girl but that didn't stop the sickness in the pit of his stomach seeing both her and her clothes covered in blood. He quickened his approach.

"Pamela?"

"Lee." Her voice wavered and there was an element of relief in there. She reached her hand out to him and he took it instantly dropping to his knees to be close to her. Their lips crashed together. If he had lost her he wasn't sure what he would do, she was the better half of him without her he would be incomplete and he would only be left with the dark side for comfort.

"We need to get to a hospital." Pam spoke as their lips pulled apart.

"You ok?" His concern was vibrant, Pam knew he had forgotten just for that moment that they weren't alone. She nodded but her eyes left Lee's momentarily to glance at Nicole beside her, before settling back on her beloved.

"She needs medical help now, she's losing a lot of blood Lee, the baby." Pam hadn't even finished her sentence and Lee snaked his phone from his pocket and was calling the emergency services. Pam squeezed his hand which he still hadn't let of go off. She was so glad that this was her man.

As Lee made the call his words were cut off as the truck exploded.
