CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: Planting A Seed

Opie had taken the kids to school. Jenna was washing the dishes from breakfast and Opie come s up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her bare shoulder.

"Kids are at school, we should take advantage." He said as she turned to face him.

"As much as I want to take you up on that offer…I've got to get ready to go to the garage."

"Sooner we get you knocked up; the sooner you can quit working." He told her. "Garage is no place for a pregnant woman."

"With mom watching Abel and Thomas, someone has to run the office. None of the guys know how to do that kind of crap." She told him. "Did you watch the news? They said the bodies they found at the Charming Heights site were Russians."

She knew SAMCRO had something to do with it.

"Did you have anything to do with that?"

Opie stared at her for a minute before nodding.

"Retaliation from Jax getting stabbed in Stockton?"

"Among other things." Opie said leaning down and kissing her.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he grabbed her butt and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he kissed her neck. He carried her to their bedroom and laid her down gently on the bed and she raised her arms up as he took off her spaghetti strapped shirt. He was fixing to take off her shorts when his cell rang. He sighed as he reached into his pocket and fished his cell out. He answered and hung up moments later.

"Got to head to the clubhouse."

Jenna sighed as she slipped her shirt back on. He helped her off the bed and she straightened her shirt.

"I'll be there as soon as I get a shower and get dressed."

He nodded and kissed her before slipped on his cut.

Jenna arrived at the garage late. Jax and Clay pulled up in the tow truck and Jax walked into the office and closed the door.

"What's up?" She asked her brother.

"I'm back Clay on muling coke for the Galindo Cartel."

"The club's trafficking blow now?" Jenna said not happy. "Selling them illegal guns is one thing. SAMCRO doesn't get involved in drugs."

Jax just looked at her.

" Why are you backing Clay on this vote? What do you get out of it?" She asked suspiciously as she crossed her arms.

"Clay has only a few years left before his hands give out and he can't ride. If he doesn't ride, he doesn't vote. When he's out, I'm out."

"What?"

"Tara and I are getting the boys out of Charming." He told his sister. "Out of this life."

"Clay and Gemma are never going to let you leave." She said shaking his head.

"Gemma is just an old lady, Jenna. Clay will handle her." Jax told his sister. "The deal is, I'm out and Opie get's the President patch if I back up Clay with this."

Jax left his sister in the office when Clay called a meeting. Jenna was outside when Jax and Opie walked to Opie's truck.

"Where are you going?"

"We have to go check on some things." Opie said kissing her. "We'll be back later."

Bobby, Tig, and Juice stayed and worked in the garage and Clay left to go talk to Oswald. Clay comes back and talks privately with Unser. Jenna wondered what that was all about. Sure Clay dealt with Unser when he wanted something that would benefit the club but Unser wasn't the police chief anymore. Tig comes to the garage and says there's trouble and Clay followed him into the clubhouse. Gemma came into the garage and said she need to talk to Unser privately.

What the hell? What's going on with both Gemma and Clay wanting to talk with Unser? Jenna didn't know but she was now determined to find out. Jenna walked out of the office as Unser closed the door. She goes to sit out on the bench and the guys come out of the clubhouse hastily and goes to their bikes.

"What's going on?" Gemma asked walking out of the office.

Jenna gets up and walks over to them, now realizing there's a problem and Opie and Jax aren't back.

"Complications." Clay told his wife.

"Where's Jax?" Gemma asks noticing her son isn't there and Clay looks down. "Oh shit."

Before there was anything else said, police units pull up and turn on their sirens.

"This is bad timing." Bobby replied.

"How do you want to play this?" Tig asks the Pres about the cops.

This had to be the new sheriff in town wanting to put pressure on SAMCRO.

"This prick is starting to piss me off." Clay said angrily getting off his bike and putting his helmet back on the handlebars.

Sheriff Roosevelt gets out of his SUV.

"Russians have Jax and Ope." Clay told the women. "I need to you call up T.O. have the Bastards head down to Wahewa backland."

Jenna's head jerked to her stepfather. It was worse than Jenna had imagined.

"Anything I can do?" Jenna asked her stepdad.

"Just lay low and wait for my call." He told Jenna.

Gemma and Jenna turned around and they both walked into the office. Jenna watched as her mom made the call to T.O. and a fire truck came into the lot. The Sons, the officers and firefighters went into the clubhouse. Gemma told Jenna that she left a message with T.O.'s old lady and Jenna relayed the message to Tig, who went straight into the clubhouse.

20 minutes later, the firefighters left and Roosevelt said there were 9 fire violations after he tore up the clubhouse. They guys left pissed off and Jenna were worried about her boyfriend and brother.

Jenna paced back and forth in the small office and she heard bikes. Tara ran over to Jax and Jenna over to Opie and she wrapped her arms around him tightly.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." He told her as he pulled away and leaned down and kissed her lips.

Jenna felt like someone was looking at her and she turned to see that it was Juice and he looked away quickly. They all walked into the clubhouse and it was completely destroyed. Clay said he'd have a crew in tomorrow to fix it up. Everyone was quiet and Tara was the first to speak.

"I have some good news." She said as she pulled a ring out of her pocket and put it on her finger. "We're engaged!"

Jenna couldn't believe it as she clapped. She went over to her brother and hugged him and then her best friend. Everyone congratulated and the prospects poured everyone shots.

Opie hugged his best friend and they took a shot. Opie put his arm around Jenna and pulled her close to his side. Jenna told Opie she was going to go pick up Ellie and Kenny from school and was heading to her car and she heard her name.

She opened her car door and turned to see her brother run across the lot over to her.

"The conversation we had earlier stays between us."

"I know." She told him with a nod.

"Look if Opie brings up the coke deal; try to convince him it will be a good idea. For the club, for everyone."

"Opie won't bring it up." She said shaking her head. "He told me about the club's deal with them but there's no way he'll tell me that mulling drugs is part of that deal."

"If he does…try, ok?"

"Sure."

He leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

He went back inside and she headed to the school to pick up Ope's kids. She had the kids fed and helped with their homework when Opie finally came in.

"Plate's in the microwave." She said as he took off his cut.

The kids watched a little TV before it was time for showers and bed. Once they finally were in bed, Opie sat down and had his dinner.

"Wanna tell me what the hell happened today?" She asked him as she sat down across from him at the table.

"Russians were pissed about their guns." He told her. "Galindo Cartel helped us out."

"The Cartel usually handles drugs." She pressed. "Why do they want ties with the Sons of Anarchy?"

He sighed as he finished his food and pushed his plate aside. He took a swig of his beer and sat it down as he looked at her for a minute. She waited for him to either lie or tell her the truth. It was everything or nothing.

"They want guns from us and they want us to mule coke."

She was shocked that it was that easy.

"The club voted to sell guns and mule drugs for the Cartel?"

"We voted to sell them guns."

"But not mule the coke?"

"The vote's coming." He informed her. "Jax is on board."

"He's voting with Clay?"

Opie nodded and Jenna thought about what to say.

"I think it's a good idea."

Opie raised his eyebrow at her.

"If it's going to have the Mexican on our side, then it's a good idea." She told him. "I mean it did help the guys while they were in Stockton to have brown in their corner."

Jenna just hoped she planted a seed.
