Chapter 04: Something Else

Meanwhile, Agent Stahl was talking to Clay in the office, she had been watching them for a while now. Although she hadn't seen Jax arrive back at Teller-Morrow Automotives with his sister, nor had she looked further into their files or she would have known that he had a sister. Opie had sent Kenny and Ellie home with Lyla.

"Tara, you here?" Kali questioned, knocking once on the front door before opening it and walking in. "Juice, tell him I'm safe,"

"In the kitchen," Tara called back, poking her head around the corner and as soon as she saw Kali she dropped what she had been doing (placed her cup on counter) and rushed straight over to her. "Kali,"

"Hey, I came back as soon as Jax called me yesterday. Well he picked me up this morning," Kali told her hugging her as she broke down. "It's not your fault you know,"

"I know, but I still blame myself," Tara said, taking a deep breath as she looked to the younger girl whilst they hugged.

"Don't blame yourself, Jax knows that it wasn't your fault," Kali said as they walked to the lounge and sat down. "It's something else eating you up,"

"How do you know?" Tara asked, as they both sat cross-legged and faced each other.

"Call it mother's intuition," she smiled as she grabbed her purse out of her bag and pulled out a photo of Jackson. "When did you find out?"

"Last week, you can't tell Jax," Tara said taking the photo of Jackson and looking at him. "He's cute, looks a lot like Jax...did he have the same problem?"

"I won't tell him, don't worry. You mean the genetic heart defect?" Kali asked, taking a deep breath and watching Tara nod before spoke again. "Yeah, he had it. They operated the day after he was born. He's a healthy 2 years old now,"

Three days later and Agent Stahl had barged into Clay and Gemma's home, Gemma had returned at the request of her daughter. Kali had her infant son with her after she had talked to her partner and had decided it was best if he was with his mother so he had, had his mother take him to Charming. Tara was sitting on the couch with Jax rather restlessly, she still blamed herself.

"You come into my home, without so much as a warrant and you want to know where we've been. Get out now," Clay hissed, Agent Stahl had just walked straight into the house without any warning.

"Agent Stahl, do you actually know what my name means?" Kali laughed, staring at the older woman as she spoke. "In Hindu it means Goddess of Death and Destruction, you want to know why?"

"She leaves a path of destruction most places she goes," Jax said, watching as his sister kept a hold of Jackson who had his head resting on her shoulder.

"I do," she laughed, it was all she could do to stop herself from handing her son to her mother and having a go at her.

"Have you ever caused anyone to die at your hands?" Agent Stahl asked, staring directly at Kali as she spoke and not caring that there was innocents in the room.

"What do you think? No, why the hell would I? For what reason?" Kali asked, shifting her weight from side to side with Jackson giggling at the faces that Jax was pulling. "Now are you going to do what my father said and leave this house?"

Kali glared at Agent Stahl as Jax and Clay stood up behind her, Gemma taking her grandson in her arms and motioning for Tara to follow her to the kitchen. Jackson looked at his grandma and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Gramma," Jackson smiled giggling as Kali and Tara walked into the kitchen. Jax and Clay had walked Agent Stahl outside.

"You being cheeky kiddo?" Kali asked, causing Jackson to jump and shake his head at her and then kiss Gemma again. "I think he likes you mom,"

"You don't say, he looks just like your brother did," Gemma said, thinking back to when her children were the same age as Jackson and Abel.

"Mom, I think I can get the charges against you dropped, but I may not be able to help Jax and Clay," Kali said, she hated saying but it was true.

"What makes you think, that you can do that?" Gemma asked as Jackson stared at her.

"Just trust me, please mom. I have a friend who can do things," Kali replied, hoping that Penelope would be able to help them out. "I might be able to is all I'm saying,"

"Have you told mom yet?" Jax asked walking into the kitchen, Clay had ridden off he had somewhere else to be. They thought that they may have a lead as to where Abel was.

"Have you told mom what?" Gemma asked, setting Jackson on the ground so that he could go play with some toys.

"Thanks Jax," Kali hissed, she hadn't told their mother about Penelope. "Mom, the friend I have works for the FBI, in the Behavioural Analysis Unit...I was friends with her before I left home," Kali paused waiting for the onslaught that was sure to follow, when Gemma didn't say anything she continued. "For the last three days she's been running Abel's photo through the FBI database, she's told me that she'll call if she finds anything out. She also gave us a little insight about..."

"She gave us a little insight about Agent Stahl," Jax finished as Jackson walked over to him and tugged on his shirt. "Hi little man,"

"Hi," Jackson grinned wrapping his arms around his uncle. "Up,"

Jax crouched down and picked up his nephew as he looked between the three women before him. He always worried when they were left alone, each had a personality that was not to be messed with, especially his mothers. Gemma wanted to know just how much Kali's friend Penelope said, she also wanted to know where her partner was and what he did for a living. After Kali told her about both people, Gemma told her to contact Sam and let him know that she wouldn't be returning for up-to twenty-four months as she had family business to attend to.

Six months later, and Penelope had called them twice to let them know that she hadn't found out the location of Abel and that there was nothing else that she could do. Jackson had warmed up to Clay so far as to call him Poppy, which Clay didn't like. He didn't like the idea of being a grandfather, but he was.

"Cameron's assets have been liquidated..." Juice said looking up from his computer and turning to face the rest of SAMCRO as he spoke.

"Meaning?" Kali questioned, it was on everyone's mind it was the closest that they had gotten.

"He's not on our soil any more," Juice said, Jax pushed him out of the way and Kali hopped on his laptop. "Hey!"

"Sorry, but if you're not going to make sense I'm going to try something," Kali laughed, grabbing Jax's hand as she started to type something into Juice's computer while still looking to the men of the group.

"Aren't you worried that you're going to miss-spell something?" Juice asked her, then realised that if she felt herself make a mistake she back-spaced and corrected herself. "Besides that what are you doing?"

"Hacking a database in the UK,"

"Wait, you can do that?" Gemma questioned, she was a little unsure of just what her daughter was capable of doing after all this time.

"Mom, yes I can. I haven't in a while but I can still hack things," Kali replied, as she looked through one of the databases. "Damn it, I'm going to need some help here," she pulled out her phone and dialled Penelope's number. "Penelope, I need a little help. I know today's your day off,"

'Sweet heart, what do you need?' Penelope questioned, sitting up in bed as she pulled her laptop up off the floor, she had been RPGing before bed.

"I know this is totally illegal but...I've hacked a database in the UK, I was wondering if you might be able to get in further than I have if I give you the IP address of my laptop?" Kali said motioning for Jax to grab hers for her out of her bag.

'Only if it's for your nephew, how's that handsome brother of yours doing?' Penelope questioned, as Kali quickly hacked the same website that she had been on, on Juice's computer.

"Same as he was last time, we're certain that they have my nephew," Kali answered, she was attempting to fish around the site for little boys that matched Abel's description.

Before Gemma had returned, she had called Tara for help and had also called Tig. Tara had been called for Tig, as Gemma's father Nate had accidentally shot him. Tara had talked with Gemma and revealed to her that she was 6 weeks pregnant. Jax had made a deal with Agent Stahl – with only his mother and sister knowing. SAMCRO club house was raided by the ATF. The sons travelled to Belfast, as that was where they had found Abel. Jax found out that he and Kali had a half-sibling that Kali wasn't too pleased about hearing. Tara and Jax temporarily split up but reunited when Kali returned and talked sense into the pair of them. Tara was also kidnapped and held hostage which caused Jax to have decide on what to do.
