Chapter 21: Outside of the Comfort Zone
The café looked exactly as Liv remembered it, many would call it a dive or a hole in the wall but she called the little place her home. The café was situated just off of the main thorough-faire that drove through the town. They often got people who were just passing through so no one ever even glanced up when the motorcycle pulled into the lot, just another biker and his "girlfriend" to them they were all the same. Girls who followed around bikers from location to location but never got a commitment from them, so they ended up stranded. A waitress that worked at the café several years ago was one of those forgotten girls. She ended up meeting an accountant from one of the local towns and married him. They visited the café from time to time.
Liv walked into the café and was greeted by a familiar face, Dani. Her hazel eyes shone with curiosity at the sight of Liv and Happy. She had cut her golden blonde hair since Liv had seen her last, it was a blunt bob with bangs, and it suited her. Liv placed her finger on her lips so she wouldn't say anything. Dani shook her head and stepped aside so they could pass by her. The man Liv was with was certainly not Juan Carlos, he was older, covered in tattoos and hard looking. Dani wondered if Liv had ran off to become a biker's whore but it didn't really seem like her forte. Then again if she did where was Juan Carlos? She planned on keeping close and listening in on the conversations throughout the day. Dani had become good at eavesdropping and would occasionally use what she heard against people to get what she wanted from them. It wouldn't be any different with Liv.
The booth that they sat in was pretty much in the middle of the café, Liv knew it was Natalie's section. "Hey!" Natalie walked up to the table with a big smile as she read Liv and Happy's body language. She was pleased to see they were both relaxed and in a good mood…okay Natalie had never seen Happy in a good mood, but he looked less tense than normal.
"Hey, Nat. So I want you to go and tell Big Jim that there is a horrid customer out here complaining about her food. You know he gets his undies in a bunch when people complain about his cooking." Liv winked at Natalie who nodded and walked back towards the kitchen. She was feeling better than she had earlier in the day. A lot of that had to do with Happy and his ability to make think about things other than what is going on around her. She was pretty sure if he tried hard enough he could make her forget her name. She bit her lip and smiled thinking about it.
"Care to share with me what you are thinking about?" Happy voice was hushed. He was well aware of what she was thinking about because it was on his mind as well. Their fight at lead to making up…in the kitchen and in the bedroom and in the shower. The whole reason why he had liked having sex with the croweaters, Diosa girls and sweet-butts was because there was such a variety of them, but with Liv it was different he couldn't get enough of her body. He never thought he would be able to settle for just one girl but for Liv he could.
"Well…" Liv cheeks flushed pink. Happy like the fact that she blushed so easily. "I was just thinking about your incredible ability to make my body feel the way it does."
"And what feeling is that?" If she would have asked Happy would have taken her on the table at that very minute not caring who was watching.
A smile crossed Liv's lips; she was about to say something but a booming voice interrupted them.
"Where is the little twit that hates my food?" He glanced over at the only table that had people who he didn't know sitting it. The woman must have been the one who had her back to him. He couldn't tell if the person was a woman or not because they had a hood up over their head. The man who was sitting at the table was staring intensely at the other person. He had a smile across his face like the hooded figure had said something that had amused him. Just as he was about the reach the table the hooded figure stood up, the body shape was too curvy for a man so she must have been the little bitch who was complaining about his food.
Liv pulled down her hood allowing her hair to fall around her shoulders and turned to face Big Jim. "I'm the twit who is complaining about your cooking you old fool!" She couldn't help but smile at the look of shock on Jim's face when he realized it was her.
"Olivia?" He embraced her tightly in his big arms.
Jim's grip was tight on her, "You're squishing me." Liv said as she tried to catch her breath as she was pinned against Jim's large body.
Liv was grateful when he released her and pushed her out at arm length. Jim studied her with his steel gray eyes. She was in one piece from what he could see and she looked happy. "Where have you been?" He glanced over at Happy who was watching them closely.
"I've been visiting some distant family." She said trying not to lie but also trying not to involve anyone else in what was happening around her.
Big Jim gave Liv a look of speculation as he raised his eyebrow pulling her away from the table. He knew she wasn't telling her the truth but he didn't know how much involved her escort so he would give her a chance to tell him away from the man. "Where is Juice?" He still thought the kid's name was stupid he like it better when they called him Juan Carlos but Liv insisted the people close to him called him that. By the look on Liv's face he knew he hit a sore subject. "Where is he Liv?"
Liv shook her head. How could she tell him that Juice was dead without revealing too much? So she just said, "He's gone."
"Oh my sweet Liv. That boy was smitten over you what happened? I couldn't see him just leaving you." Jim tried to comfort Liv by placing his arm around her.
"I don't know he is just gone. I had just found out my dad was alive and went to stay with him to just get away." Liv fibbed.
"Oh sweetheart, Natalie was so mad. She thought you and Juice went and eloped without telling her." Jim smirked thinking about the fury that came from Natalie the day she got the text from Juice saying they were going out of town.
A small snorting laugh came out of Liv, "Yeah I know. I thought I would never hear the end of that." A sad smile passed her lips.
"So your dad is still alive." Jim said in more of a statement than a question. It was a fact that he knew Alexander Trager was still alive and well. Tom had confided in him after they had adopted Liv, he told him about the life that Mr. Trager lived and how he never wanted his daughter to be a part of it. Seems like she had found her way to the arms of her biological father even though they kept him from her.
"Yeah, kind of shocked my system finding out that he wasn't dead. He's a good man and his reasons for letting my parents adopt me were in my best interests." Liv thought about Tig fondly. He had warmed her heart even if he could be a crazy jerk at times. She knew he loved her.
"And who is with you now?" He questioned with a nod towards Happy. He didn't look like a man who Liv would go for. He was covered in tattoos and the one on his head was unnerving to Jim. He looked like a man that would kill someone and not think anything of it.
"Happy." Liv beamed brightly as she looked over at Happy who was lounging in the booth with his phone to his ear.
"Happy?" Big Jim questioned looking over at the man. He looked more like an Unhappy to him. He shook his head he shouldn't judge the man before meeting him. "Is he good to you?"
"He would protect me with his life." She recalled the blood stains on the pavement outside of Red Woody. A reminder of how much Happy cared for her and what happened when you crossed SAMCRO. "Come on, come meet him." Liv took Jim's sausage like hand into hers. He was a formidable man in his own rights. "Hap?" Liv called out him.
Happy glanced up at Liv who was standing there with the cook. The man had about 200 pounds of extra weight on his tall stature. His sandy brown hair was poking out from under his white chef's hat. Happy held up a finger to them and wrapped up his phone call. "Yeah, Lee, I have to go. I'll call before we head out of here. Yeah, no problem brother." Happy closed his phone shut.
"Happy, this is Big Jim." Jim held his hand out to Happy who stood up and took it into his own. Liv smiled broadly at the two men who meant so much to her.
"Nice to meet you." Jim nodded at Happy as he let go of his hand. The more that he looked at Happy the older he realized he was. He had at least 10 years if not more on Liv but he supposed if he was willing to give up his life to protect her and he made her feel content, then that was a good enough reason to like him.
"Yeah." Happy nodded back at him. "Nice place you have here." He looked around the café and enjoyed the hominess of it. It was clean and smelled good. "Never made it this far up into Washington before but if I had I would have stopped here. The smaller diners tend to have better food."
"We certainly do. How about I get you two some food?" Liv stomach growled loudly at the mention of food. Jim laughed when he heard it. "I will take that as a yes."
The rest of Happy and Liv's visit in Charlotteville was quiet and relaxing. Most of their nights were spent with Natalie who had taken to coming over after work. Happy didn't mind the extra company it gave him time to prepare for their trip to Tacoma without Liv getting too bored or worrying about things. He had asked Lee to make sure that there was a place for them to stay at the club house after filling him on what was going on with the Marks situation. He would be damned if anything happened to Liv on his watch. Lee who was also known as Hamco was the president of Happy's old home charter. He tended to rely on Happy when he needed someone who could get answers out of someone or if he needed an assassin.
"Are you ready to go?" Happy asked Liv, who had just finished packing her bag. It had been really hard for her to pack up what she wanted to bring with her into a bag that would fit on her back, there just wasn't enough room on Happy's Harley. She tried to convince him she needed her car but he was not having any of it.
She let out a deep sigh. "Yeah, I guess." She responded to Happy but looked over at Natalie who was sitting cross legged on her bed. "Thank you for everything you've done Nat." Olivia didn't know what she would have done without her best friend, she had helped calm the storm on the home front. Big Jim and Mia had thrown a barbeque for Liv, she was worried things would have been hard to deal with but they weren't. Natalie had done a good job letting them know that Liv would tell them everything they needed to know when the time was right. Liv was appreciative of their unobtrusive nature and ability to understand that she needed to tell them on her own time. She also assumed they thought that her disappearance had everything to do with Juice and his vanishing act.
"You're welcome. I know you would do the same thing for me. I am going to miss you. And don't worry I will bring some of this stuff with me the next time I come down." Natalie glanced over at the pile of clothing that was lying unpacked on Liv's bed as she rose from her spot.
"Alright." Liv reluctantly picked up her bag and it suddenly became lighter; she turned to see Happy grabbed on to one of the straps so he could carry it out for her. He knew she was having a hard time leaving her home and the three days they had been there hadn't been enough for her. "Thanks Happy." She gave him a thankful look.
"I'll give you a few minutes alone and meet you out by my bike." Happy said as he turned and walked away. Happy walked out to his bike and lit a cigarette, he inhaled the deeply. He was glad that he brought Liv to Charlotteville, he felt that it brought them closer together. Happy rubbed his head as he thought about what the next step would be for them; he had actually started to take all of Jackson's nagging to heart and started to consider making it official between him and Liv by making her his old lady. He wasn't like most of his brothers that jumped into things without thinking, he needed to process the whole thing. He pushed the whole thought of an old lady out of his mind and focused on his next task at hand taking care of the murderous rat in Tacoma.
It didn't take Happy and Liv very long to get to Tacoma from Charlotteville the ride was a little over an hour and a half. Liv enjoyed riding with Happy on his bike; she loved the liberation she felt when she rode and of course she couldn't help but take pleasure in the closeness of their bodies. She was slightly sad when they pulled into a parking lot of a building that looked like an extremely large bar or strip club.
"Welcome to Tacoma." Happy turned and looked back at Liv after he had stopped and turned off his bike.
"So this is where it started." Liv stated in reference to where Happy had joined the Sons. She had learned a little bit about Happy's past but he was not super forthcoming with information. At least he had been more open about things than Juice has been.
"Happy!" A man with long sandy brown hair that was slicked back in a ponytail called to them as he walked out of the building towards them. Happy quickly dismounted his bike and took the man's hand into his for a handshake as well as a quick clasp of the shoulder. "How was the drive man?"
"Couldn't have asked for better weather or company." Happy turned to Liv who has joined the men.
Liv smiled at the man, he was about the same height as Happy but a slightly leaner build and facial hair. Lee had his sunglasses on so the only thing she could see was her reflection again them. "I see the family resemblance." Lee said referring to Liv looking like her dad.
Liv smiled politely. "Um. Thanks…I guess." She responded in the politest way possible.
"You look like your mom." Lee clarified. "The only part of your old man you got is his eyes and hair…you got lucky there kid." He smirked. Everyone seemed to know her mom but then again she was the woman who had tamed Tig for a period of time. "I have Donut and Bowie getting our visitor. They should be back later this evening." Lee turned his attention to Happy. As they walked towards the building.
"Sounds like it will be a quick trip then." Happy said, he had expected to have to go hunt down the rat himself. He was glad he didn't have to leave Liv in Tacoma, alone without anyone she knew. He trusted his brother in Tacoma but he didn't feel like they were invested in Liv's safety as much as SAMCRO was. Plus he didn't want her being around the sweet butts because he had been with pretty much all of them at one point or another and Olivia didn't need to know that.
"Yeah, a day, maybe two." Lee was well aware of Happy's gift for extracting information from people quickly. He knew with Wells it may only take a matter of hours to get the information that the club wanted out of him with Happy at the reigns.
They walked into the club house and Liv immediate recognized the smells and wondered if all of the SOA club houses smelt the same. She understood why Red Woody smelt of sex but couldn't quite comprehend why it did there but then she saw the women who started towards them.
"Happy!" One of the girls walked over to them and ran her hand down his chest and under his cut. Liv glared over at the girl who looked like she was around the same age that she was but like she had been around the block several times. Liv looked up at Happy to see his reaction, had completely ignored the brunette's advances and pulled Liv close to him. The girl looked a little put off, she adjusted her black lacy bra which she wore as a shirt; she also donned a short pair of leather shorts that hugged her like a second skin.
Liv looked down at herself, "I'm a little over dressed…or should I say I am wearing too much clothing." She was wearing a pair of dark wash jeans with a mint green tank top covered by her favorite fitted black leather jacket.
Happy snorted to cover up a laugh. "Let's go drop off our stuff in our room." He placed his hand on her lower back and guided Liv to the back of the building to a short hallway that had three doorways all the doors which were closed. He opened the door at the end of the hallway and allowed Liv to walk in first. He watched as Liv pulled her heavy bag off her back and rubbed her shoulders. "You okay?"
Liv turned and looked at him quizzically and then realized that he meant her back and not the whore that was putting the moves on him. "Oh yeah, my shoulders and neck are just sore from having my bag on it for the ride." She was not looking forward to the long ride back to Charming with her bag on her back.
"I could help you out with that." Happy closed the gap between them and removed Liv's leather jacket. He slipped behind her and started to rub her shoulders with his strong hands. Liv let out a deep sigh as Happy worked his magic on her sore back. She tilted her head to one side and Happy took advantage of his location and placed his lips on Liv's neck. He grazed his teeth along the side of her neck and up to her ear where he bit her ear lobe. Olivia let out a small squeak not expecting the bite.
Liv turned to face Happy, placing her arms around his neck and then kissing him. She wanted him naked and available for her to worship his body, the ride on his bike left her feeling pent up. She released Happy and ran her hands under his shirt and along his abs that flexed under her touch. Happy growled against her mouth; she loved the fact that he wanted her as much as she wanted him. Happy started to pull at hem of Liv's shirt when there was a knock at the door. Liv snorted as Happy glared up at the door.
"WHAT?" He barked with annoyance. He wanted to get laid knowing it would release some of the tension he was carrying. Happy also wanted to prove to Liv she had nothing to worry about when it came to the sweet butts that were wandering around the club house. He had already had a close call with one of them, he didn't even recognize her or when he might have fucked her. But until Liv that is pretty much what it was.
"Hap, Lee wanted me to come and get you…he wants us to meet him in the Chapel." A male's voice called from the other side of the door.
"Fuck." Happy muttered as he released Liv from his grip. "We will be picking this up later." He kissed her on the forehead. "Come on, you need to eat something while I am in chapel."
Liv had finished her meal and was sitting surrounded by a few club members who made sure that she was comfortable and stayed within eye shot. Fucking Happy, she thought to herself. He must have called ahead and told them to make sure she was under house arrest. The women kept their distance from her and didn't talk to her or make her feel welcome. She noticed a group of them together that were whispering and staring at her. Liv felt like she was in high school again but she didn't have Natalie there to back her up like had always been back in those days. Liv stood up and walked towards the front door and happened to catch a bit of the women's conversation.
"I mean look at her what does she have that we don't?"
"She's the daughter of a club member that is what she has…which makes her a fucking snob." Liv almost laughed when she heard that, she was far from a snob.
"Right?! I can't believe she is even here with Happy…does she not know he is only with going to fuck her and leave her?" The last girl's words burned in her head. Had he told the others that he loved them too? Then she thought about it, Happy had told her, she was the first woman he had even allowed into his house and into his bed. He didn't always allow the women he had slept with to stay in the same bed as him.
Liv turned to the group of scantily clad women and glared at them before saying, "How many of you have been allowed to sleep in the same bed as him?" The group of women remained quiet and looked at each other with bewilderment. The truth was when Happy was done with them he sent them on their way with the smack of the ass. "Yeah that is what I thought, you're all the ones he fucks and leaves. I am here to stay so keep your dirty whore hands off of Happy, he is mine!" Liv bit at them.
"Am I now?" Happy's voice from behind her made Liv jump. Liv turned slowly her face flushing red as she saw Happy's bemused face staring back at her. She didn't want Happy to hear her little tussle with the women, whom she knew were all jealous of her interactions with him.
"Do you not want to be?" She raised her eyebrows at him as he pulled her close to him. "I mean I could always see if one of these fine gentleman who are keep such a close eye on me would keep me company."
"Don't even think about it." Happy growled as he kissed Liv's forehead. "If I could I would bend you over table and fuck you until you couldn't walk," Happy whispered in Liv's ear, her stomach dropped thinking about that. Happy spoke louder as he pulled back, "However I am not going to be much fun tonight. I have to go take care of the business we came here for but that means we can go home sooner." He knew he would be able to get an answer out of Wells quickly since he was a weakling. If he were to go through what Wells was about to go through he wouldn't say a word about his club or his mission. He was not weak or willing to give up any information on his club, he would have rather died. Then again he would never had done what Wells did so he didn't really care.
Liv smiled sadly at Happy. "Alright, I am kind of tired so I think I will take a nap."
"Stay out of trouble." Happy smirked as he turned and left the club house to take care of business. He was looking forward to blowing of the steam he had built up from his incomplete missions to have sex with Liv.
Liv woke up and the room was dark she had slept longer than she meant to. She crawled out of bed and walked out into the main bar area of the club house. The whores were spread out between the men who were lounging at the tables and throughout the Tacoma club house. She instantly felt a need to be back in Charming where she was comfortable and knew people. In Tacoma she was an outsider. Most of the people didn't pay any attention to her as she walked out the front door. No one followed her which was something she was used to; in Charming she was allowed to go outside at Red Woody as long as she didn't leave the area of the warehouse. Liv felt homesick for her family in Charming. She pulled out her phone and dialed Lyla's number which she had memorized since Happy didn't have it in his phone.
"Hello, this is Lyla." The voice on the other end answered.
"Hey Lyla, it's Liv."
"Oh my god it is so good to hear your voice!" Liv could hear Lyla's smile.
"I want to come home." Home, she hadn't thought of Charming as home until now. She missed her dysfunctional family, porn stars and all.
"Miss us already? I have to say you haven't really missed much. Jake came back to work today…he asked about you."
Liv was surprised by this news, she hadn't heard one peep from Jake since the day he stormed out of Happy's house. "Hmm. I'm actually surprised he was ask about me. Did you tell him I am with Happy so he should step back?"
Lyla laughed on the other end of the line. "No, but I should have. I needed him to be in a good mood so we could film. He will find out soon enough so I am not too worried about it. Speaking of Happy, how are things going?"
"They are actually going quite well. However, he is dealing with some club business so I am stuck hanging out by myself without anyone to talk to. I won't be making friends with any of the girls here. I like the crow eaters far better than these whores. At least they are polite and are willing to start up a conversation." Liv sighed as she sat on the curb of the parking lot. Lyla was going on about how things were going at Red Woody and stupid thing that Tig did when Liv heard a scream of pain. She stood up quickly looking to see where it came from, wondering if someone was in need of help. "Lyla I am sorry I need to go. I will see you soon." She said quickly before hanging up the phone rudely. Another loud yell, it was a man, Liv followed the painful cries into one of the buildings near the clubhouse. She quietly opened the door of the building and slipped in she followed the noises to the back of the building where she hid behind a pillar. She could have picked out Happy from anywhere even if he wasn't bald but there he was pacing a man who was shirtless and tied to a chair.
"Tell me who else was in it with you and this will end." Happy's voice was low and unforgiving; he had a knife in his hand. Liv covered her mouth to stifle the cry that came from it. He was torturing the man. The man mumbled something incoherently so Happy took a pass with his knife across the man's upper pectoral muscles, the man cried out in pain. Liv watch in shock and was taken back to her own torture. She stared at Happy, who was completely focused on the man; there was not a resemblance of the man she loved on his face. She backed away slowly not knowing what Happy would do to her if he found her there.
An in shock Liv wandered her way back into Tacoma's club house and up to the bar. "I need a shot of something strong." She said to the woman who was tending bar.
"Sure thing sweetie." The girl was pretty, she had dark blue eyes and dark brown hair with blonde and burgundy highlights. She was dressed better than most of the girls who were in the clubhouse. "Here you go, love." She set out a shot glass full of a clear liquor in front love Liv. "Everclear," She held up the bottle. Liv brought the shot glass to her mouth and appreciated its burn as it went down her throat and into her stomach.
"Another would be great." She pushed the glass forward. The girl filled the glass once more and left Liv the bottle, knowing she must have had a good reason for drinking the strong shit.
Liv needed to forget about what she saw in the building across the parking lot. The shots were disgusting and they were not doing anything for her so after two more shots she stepped away from the bar and found her way back to the room she was sharing with Happy. She laid down in bed and sent Natalie a text just to let her know that they had made it to Tacoma safely and that she missed her.
She must have dozed off thanks to the four shots of 190 proof alcohol; the opening of the bedroom door startled her awake. Olivia froze where she was when the bed bowed as a body sat on the edge of it. She knew it was Happy, she could tell by the way he smelled but there was something that was mingling in the air with him, something that smelt irony, she immediately recognized it was blood. It was the same smell that was burned into her memory from Bobby's murder. Liv stayed on her side facing away from Happy, she could hear him pulling off his clothes and placing them in his bag that was lying next to bed. He moved close to Liv and placed his arm across her cupping her breast in her hands. Liv's heart was beating hard in her chest. "Liv?" Happy whispered quietly in her ear, she could smell the liquor on his breath. She didn't move, she couldn't face him after what she saw him do. He moved her hair from the side of her neck and started to kiss it moving down to her shoulder which was bare, she had taken to sleeping in her tank top and panties or nude depending upon where she was. Liv shrugged him off of her as if she were still sleeping. "Baby wake up." He whispered. She could feel him hard against her back. Olivia couldn't comprehend how he wanted sex after he had done what he had just done. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly trying to shut out what Happy had done from her vision as well as his current onslaught.
"Stop." Liv mumbled trying to make it sound like she had been sleeping. Happy immediately stopped kissing her neck and sighed deeply. It wasn't long before Liv felt the bed shaking some, Happy was taking care of business for himself. Liv felt a sense of relief because he wasn't going to one of the sweet butts to take care of him, but then again they were in the same bed - how could he do that right next to her? She tried not to think about it because she was the one who had just pushed him away and said no. Soon she had been lulled back to sleep by Happy's rhythmic motion on the bed.
"WAKE UP!" a loud voice pulled Liv from her sleep. She went to rub her eyes but couldn't because her arms were bound behind her back. She realized she wasn't laying in a bed but she was sitting on a hard metal chair. She struggled to get her arms free as she looked around the room. She was in a place she had never seen before, it looked like an empty warehouse.
"Where am I?" Liv panicked. Struggling to get free from her bondage. That is when she saw him. "Happy? Happy please get me out of here." She pleaded with him but as he got closer she saw he was running his finger down the blade of a knife. His face was calculating and focused. He circled her like a predator with its prey; she was the prey. "Hap?" She said quietly.
"Where is he?" His voice was emotionless.
"Where is who?" Liv asked as she tried to pull her wrists free.
"Don't play stupid with me." Happy ran his knife down Liv's arm, not cutting her but causing pain.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Please Happy let me go." She cried out.
"I will end it all if you tell me where he is." He growled at her.
"Who, where who is?" She asked in a panic.
"You should tell me…but I can be very persuasive." Happy slashed his blade down the entire length of Liv's arm.
Liv's ear piercing scream woke Happy immediately, he quickly pulled her to him and tried to wake her up. "Liv…come on baby wake up." He held her close to him as she struggled to free herself from her nightmare.
"No…No…let me go." Her voice was full of terror as she shoved Happy away from her. He let go and she pushed herself off of him so hard she fell on the floor. Happy followed after quickly. She looked up at Happy with tears flowing from her eyes. "Don't touch me." She barked at him. He was taken aback by this, normally her dreams pushed her into his arms but this time it was different.
"Are you okay?" Happy questioned with concern in his voice.
Liv pushed further away from Happy when it finally dawned on him, she was afraid of him. He could see it in her eyes, her nightmare was about him. "I saw you." Happy stared at her with question in his eyes, the room was too dim for him for him to see Olivia's face clearly at the distance she was at. "I saw you torturing that man, Happy. I was on the phone with Lyla and I heard the cries. He was like me…would you do that to me?"
Happy moved himself closer to Liv so he could see her face which was full of pain as she fought to separate her dream from reality. "Olivia, I would never hurt you." Happy reached out to touch her and she flinched.
"You might not hurt me but I saw the look on your face, it was the same contentment that I saw in that man's face over the days he sliced into my body."
He had become so focused in his job he never brought himself to think about how it would affect Olivia if she saw what he was doing. Nor did he care when he was doing it. But now that he was faced with her trepidation which was directed at him he was forced to look at himself and what he was doing. "Olivia, Wells and another man killed a family because they were going to rat them out to the club because they had started cooking meth for a side business. We needed to find out who else he was working with and normal methods wouldn't get the answers. They tried." Liv stared at him as she waited for him to continue. "He killed a club member, his pregnant wife and her mother. He didn't deserve humane treatment." Happy could feel the satisfaction rising as he thought about cutting into Wells' flesh, he deserved to die slowly and painfully.
Happy watched as Liv visibly relaxed, "Did you get the name?" She asked not quite understanding why she wanted to know.
"Yes." He said quietly with defeat.
"Good." Liv glanced up at him, thinking about the child whose life would never start because of them.
"Do you want to tell me about your dream?" Happy asked as he moved himself next to Liv.
"I don't think you want to know." Liv looked away from him.
"It was about me wasn't it? Was I torturing you?" The thought of it made Happy sick. The thought of Liv being scared of him made his stomach roll. He wanted to protect her with every fiber of his being not harm her.
Liv sat still for a moment before she noiselessly nodded at him.
"Do you think I would hurt you?" Happy said in a low voice.
"No." She took Happy's hand into her and traced the creases in it. "These hands have done nothing but made my body feel amazing and safe. Maybe they should do that again." Liv suggested as she moved herself onto Happy's lap wanting to remember the man who saved her and not the man who was in the building in Tacoma.
