Jess was buzzed through the doors of Stockton State Penitentiary, going through the familiar motions of signing in and being searched before she was finally led into the visiting room. She scanned the room quickly for Otto, finally finding him sitting at a table in the far corner. He stood when he saw her and she rushed into his arms, happy for the feel of his embrace. They finally pulled apart and took a seat on opposite sides of the table. Otto reached across the table to take her hand and she gripped his tightly, giving him a tight lipped smile.

"I'm so sorry," Jess whispered and Otto nodded, sighing.

"Me too, Jess," he said, "God knows I loved Luann. More than I thought I was capable of." Jess nodded sadly, brushing a lone tear quickly off her cheek.

"I loved her, too," Jess said, "And she loved you." Otto shook his head, pulling her hand up to his lips and kissing the back of her fingers softly.

"I'm glad you're here," he said, "I don't know who I'd be right now if I didn't know you were still out there." Jess smiled back at him as she remembered she'd brought him something. She dug in her pocket with her free hand, finally pulling out Luann's wedding ring. The prison had given her permission to give it to him and she held it out.

"I thought you should have this," she said. Otto gazed at the ring in Jess's hand, smiling sadly at it as he took it carefully between two fingers, holding it up to look at it. He finally pocketed it, turning back to smile at Jess.

"Thanks," he said. Jess nodded, pausing for several seconds before finally asking him what she needed to ask.

"Rosen explained Luann's will to me," Jess said, and by Otto's simple nod she knew he was aware of the changes Luann had made to her will.

"Yeah, we discussed that," he said, "Didn't think I'd be having that conversation with you for a very long time." Jess nodded, fiddling with the charm bracelet on her wrist before finally looking back up at him.

"I don't know what to do with the money," she admitted, "I don't know if I want to rebuild or take it and get the hell out of dodge." Otto nodded, taking a deep breath.

"I can't tell you what to do there," he said, "That's something you've gotta figure out on your own. But if it's my advice you're wanting – don't go running away from your problems. They've got a way of coming back to you." Jess nodded, sighing.

"I just don't know," she said in frustration, "I mean, I wouldn't leave without Jax, anyway."

"Jax isn't goin' anywhere, I promise you," Otto told her firmly, "Whatever he says, whatever he does, Jax is in Charming to stay. Don't let him go making you false promises of some beautiful life you'll have together away from Charming because it's never gonna happen." Jess stared back at Otto, frowning. Surely if Jax knew about the money she had, if he knew they could get away from all the danger, he'd at least consider coming with her. Wouldn't he?

"Okay," she finally responded, not wanting to argue the point farther and Otto nodded, apparently satisfied.

"How is Jax, anyway?" Otto asked, "He treatin' you good?" Jess smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, that's the one thing I've done right lately," she said. He chuckled, nodding.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I used to say about Luann," he said and Jess grinned, "You keep me updated. He starts giving you shit I can kill 'im from in here. That's not a problem." Jess shook her head, laughing to force herself into thinking he was joking.

"Thanks, but that won't be necessary," she said. Otto leaned back in his seat, looking across at her.

"Alright. But all you gotta do is say the word," he said, "I love you, baby girl." Jess felt her heart, little by little, beginning to repair itself at his words.

"I love you, too," she said.

Opie, Jess's babysitter of the afternoon, was waiting for Jess outside and he smiled at her as she walked up, handing her a helmet.

"Visit go okay?" he asked. She nodded, strapping the helmet on as Opie threw his leg over his bike and Jess climbed on behind him.

"Can you stop at the police station on the way home?" she asked. He turned his head as he started the bike up, looking back at her.

"Whatcha need to go there for?" he asked.

"I just need to show Roosevelt something," she said, "One of Luann's charms was ripped off her bracelet. Jax doesn't think it means anything but I just… I just want to tell Roosevelt. Maybe it'll help." Opie looked at her sympathetically and she knew he thought it was useless, too, but he nodded.

"Sure, we can swing by," he said and Jess smiled back at him gratefully before he turned back around and sped off back to Charming.

Opie pulled up to the police department and Jess hopped off the bike, handing Opie her helmet.

"I'll just be a minute," she said and he nodded, his eyes glued to her until she disappeared through the doors. Jess strode up to the front counter, smiling at the officer sitting behind the desk.

"Is Sheriff Roosevelt around?" she asked. The officer looked up at her, an eyebrow cocked.

"Yeah, he's in his office," he said, standing up and leading her back. The officer knocked on Roosevelt's door and Jess heard him holler out to come in.

"Thanks," Jess said to the officer as he nodded, walking back to the front desk as Jess walked into the office. Roosevelt glanced up at her from behind his desk, smiling in surprise at her.

"Jess? Right?" he said and Jess nodded, taking a seat behind his desk, "How can I help you?"

"I wanted to show you something," she said, digging in her pocket and pulling the charm bracelet out, holding it gingerly in her hands, "This was given to me after… after Luann died. She was wearing it at the time. We both have the same charm on our bracelets," Jess continued, holding out her own bracelet and showing Roosevelt the Cara Cara charm, "But hers has been ripped off. I think whoever killed her took it." Roosevelt nodded, looking down at the bracelet before finally looking up at Jess.

"Look, Jess, I know you want to try to explain what happened in some way that you can live with," Roosevelt started, and Jess's face fell. He wasn't taking her seriously either, "I know you're living with Lux Morrow, dating her brother. But all the evidence we have right now is pointing to her."

"But-" Jess began desperately, but Roosevelt cut her off.

"I know you're fairly new to Charming. Been here, what? About a year now?" he asked. Jess nodded, her eyebrows raised at how much information he had on her. They'd just met for the first time when Cara Cara had burned down. Roosevelt leaned forward on his desk, looking at Jess.

"You seem like a nice girl, Jess," he said, "But since you've been around SAMCRO, you've already been shot, your boss murdered, and it's looking like your friend did it. My advice – I think you're in way over your head and you should get out while you can." Jess frowned at him, shaking her head.

"Lux didn't do this!" Jess shouted. Roosevelt looked sympathetically at her, shrugging.

"That'll be for a judge and jury to determine," he told her.

"So you're not even going to look into any other options?" Jess asked, flabbergasted, "She's Clay Morrow's daughter so she must be guilty?"

"I've got a file on Lux Morrow about two inches thick," Roosevelt said, leaning towards her and stabbing his finger on the desk, "She's not just an innocent little girl. She's done some bad shit, just like the rest of them."

"Oh my God," Jess muttered, shaking her head and standing up, snatching the bracelet off the desk as she walked towards the door. She paused, her hand on the door knob as she turned back to look at him, "You're wrong about Lux. I swear I'll prove it to you."

"Hey, my door's always open," he said.

"Yeah, let me just go and do your job for you," Jess said furiously as she stormed out, breathing deeply in anger. Opie handed her the helmet as she walked up and she snatched it out of his hands, slamming it on her head angrily.

"I take it it didn't go well," Opie said. Jess shook her head as they got back on the bike, driving back to Teller-Morrow. As soon as they parked in the lot and got off the bike, Jess tore the helmet off her head, shoving it in Opie's arms as she stormed across the lot to her car.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Opie shouted after her.

"To Luann's!" Jess shouted, wrenching the car door open.

"You can't just go by yourself!" Opie shouted, glancing at his watch.

"Then you better follow me!" she said angrily, throwing herself into her car. If she had to tear Luann's house apart bit by bit, she would prove that charm wasn't anywhere waiting to be repaired. It had been ripped off her bracelet by whoever killed her. Jess was sure of it.

Opie shook his head, jogging into the clubhouse to find Jax leaning over Juice in his 'office' in the corner of the room, going over several of Zobelle's properties Juice had come up with. Jax glanced up at Opie, frowning.

"Where's Jess?" he asked.

"She took off to go to Luann's," Opie replied, "But I'm already late to pick up the kids. I can't go with her."

"So she's by herself?" Jax asked angrily and Opie nodded. Jax glanced around the room, his eyes finally landing on Happy, sitting at the bar.

"Hey, Hap!" Jax called and Happy turned to look at him, pulling himself off the bar stool and walking over to Jax, "I need you to go over to Luann's house. Jess is on her way there. I need you to keep watch."

"You got it," Happy said and Jax nodded as he pulled out his pre-pay, dialing Jess's phone. She answered on the first ring, sounding irritable.

"Hey," she said curtly.

"Hey," Jax replied, "Where's the fire?"

"Not exactly a good phrase to use right now, Jax," Jess said, sighing.

"Sorry. Why're you running off to Luann's without a patch?" Jax rephrased.

"I'm sure one of your minions will be there by the time I get there anyway," Jess said, her voice full of derision. Jax frowned at the phone.

"What is your problem today?" he asked, getting angry at her attitude.

"My problem is that nobody will listen to me about this damn charm!" Jess replied angrily and Jax rolled his eyes, taking a deep breath.

"So what, you're gonna go off to Luann's to try and find it?" Jax asked.

"No, I'm going to Luann's to prove it isn't there," Jess replied. Jax pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, breathing deeply.

"How're you gonna do that?" he finally asked, struggling to keep his voice calm, "How do you prove something that small isn't there? And if it's not there, it could have fallen off at Cara Cara, or anywhere else Luann's been." Jess sighed, and Jax could tell she was frustrated.

"I've gotta do something, Jax," she said, helplessness replacing the anger in her voice, and Jax understood. It was why he'd spent two days going over the same half dozen properties Juice had turned up, even though he knew the information was useless. Because sitting still and doing nothing while your world collapsed around you wasn't an option.

"Alright," he finally said, "I'm sending Happy after you."

"Okay," Jess said softly, finally calming down, "Sorry I snapped at you."

"Yeah, it's okay. Just be safe," Jax said and heard the phone click. He shut his own phone and looked at Juice, shaking his head as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Women, huh?" Juice asked and Jax glared at him.

"Shut up," he said, pointing back to the computer to go through the list with him one more time.

SOASOASOASOASOASOASOA

Jess pulled into Luann's driveway, unsurprised to see Happy sitting on his bike smoking a cigarette, but she was curious to know how he'd beaten her there.

"Hey, Happy," she said in greeting. He nodded to her as she strode up to the front door, letting herself in as she looked around, wondering where to begin. The bedroom seemed like a good place but Jess wasn't looking forward to walking back in there, so she started in the living room. She pulled cushions off the sofa, ran her hand along every shelf in the room, moved furniture to check underneath it. No charm.

She sighed, looking around the room. Jax was right. This was hopeless. How do you look for something that you're hoping you don't find? She shook the thought away, marching into the kitchen to go through every drawer, bowl, and fork and still she didn't find the charm.

She made her way down the hall, gazing hesitantly at the door at the very end that led to Luann's bedroom. She knew she'd need to hit it eventually, but now was not that time. She went through two guest bedrooms before finally walking into Luann's office to see a very sophisticated computer system sitting atop a large L-shaped desk that took up nearly half of two walls. There were four monitors spaced out on it, all the screens black. Beyond that, the room was pretty minimal.

Jess walked over to the desk to look through the pen holder, stacks of paper, and under the keyboard. As she lifted the keyboard, her hand brushed the mouse and all four monitors popped on, startling Jess. She gazed at the monitors strangely. Three of them looked like they were recording security footage. There were four boxes on each screen, and most of them were snow, as if the feed had been lost. But one of them was still live.

Jess gazed at the video in front of her. It was still, the only movement being the wind whistling through the trees. What she was looking at was the charred remains of the entrance of Cara Cara. The camera must have been affixed to a light pole in the parking lot.

Jess's heart raced as she turned to the fourth monitor, the only one that didn't have security footage running. It just looked like a normal windows desktop, but a program was already opened. In small letters along the top of the program read the words "video surveillance system." Jess frowned, pursing her lips as she clutched the mouse, clicking on open. Thousands of video files poured into the dialogue box that had opened and Jess stared. Each one was dated. She clicked on one from several months ago and looked at the three monitors next to her. Each one now had running footage of every square inch of Cara Cara. Jess grinned in satisfaction, shaking her head.

"Luann," she breathed, "You wonderful, paranoid bitch." She turned to the door of the office, "HAPPY!" she screamed and smiled as she heard him running down the hall. She turned back to stare at the footage for several moments longer before digging into her pocket and dialing Jax's number as Happy rushed into the room, looking wildly around for the danger.

"Hello?" Jax asked as he answered the phone.

"Jax you've gotta get over here. Juice, too," Jess said happily as Happy eyed her curiously. She pointed silently to the monitors and Happy looked over at them, his eyes widening in recognition as she continued talking to Jax, "You're not even going to believe this but Luann had a security system in place at Cara Cara that feeds to monitors at her house. It looks like each one records each day automatically. Months' worth of files are saved."

"Holy shit," Jax breathed, and she could hear the excitement in his voice, "Have you looked? At the night of her murder?"

"I can't," she said, shaking her head, "I can't watch it. Get over here."

"On our way, babe," he said, hanging up the phone. She stared at the monitors, shaking her head as she breathed a sigh of relief at the ridiculous amount of luck they'd just had. She turned to Happy.

"Will you check the morning Luann died?" she asked, standing up from the chair, "I can't watch it." Happy nodded, taking her place as he scrolled through the files until he found the right date. Jess turned her back to the monitors, fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall as she knew Happy was watching Luann's murder.

"We got 'em, Jess," he said and jess breathed a sigh of relief, hesitantly turning to look back at the monitors. She saw two men, one large and hulking and the other shorter and heavy set, walking into Luann's office, but they both had ski caps on and there was no way to tell who they were. Happy paused the image and looked up at Jess.

"But they don't show their face!" Jess said desperately, disappointment washing over her. Happy shook his head.

"We already know who did this," he reminded her, "We can get justice for Luann on our own. We just have to prove it wasn't Lux. That," he pointed to the men on the monitor, "is clearly not Lux." Jess nodded, her heart beginning to beat again.

"Yeah, you're right," she said happily, forcing her eyes away from the monitor.

SOASOASOASOASOA

The microwave beeped and Jess grabbed the bag of popcorn sitting in it, pouring it into a large bowl she had waiting. She walked the bowl over to the living room where Jax was waiting on the couch, popping a piece into her mouth as she took a seat next to him. He took the bowl as she leaned against him and he wrapped an arm around her shoulder as she grinned up at him.

"I told you I'd figure it out," she said and he grinned as she tilted her head up to give him a quick kiss.

"Remind me to never doubt you again," he said.

"I can handle that," Jess said smiling as she reached towards the coffee table to grab the remote, pressing play on the movie they were watching. Jess hadn't felt this good in a long time. Luann's killer may still be out there, but everyone now knew it wasn't Lux and Jess was confident that it was only a matter of time before Jax tracked Zobelle down and put an end to the whole thing. She could finally breathe again and even colors appeared brighter.

The front door flew open halfway into the movie and Jess looked up to see Lux bouncing happily in, followed by Tig who was grinning broadly. Jax paused the movie as Lux strode into the living room, propping her foot up on the coffee table as she pointed to her ankle, now free of the monitor.

"I'm free!" Lux said happily, beaming at Jess, "Thanks to you." Jess shook her head.

"Thanks to Luann," she corrected and Lux shrugged, walking over to the couch and throwing her arms around Jess.

"Just take the thanks," she said, "You saved my life." Jess hugged her back, smiling.

"Well I'm glad everything worked out," she said. Lux nodded.

"Party at the clubhouse to celebrate," she said cheerfully, "Now that I can finally leave this dreaded apartment."

"We'll be by in a little bit," Jax said and Lux nodded, turning back to Tig as she slid an arm around his waist and they walked back out of the apartment.
