Chapter 05: Unexpected Happenings

A little less than a month later and they had gotten Abel back and he was safely in the arms of Jax as they all sat in the living room of Gemma and Clay's house.

Chibs looked at Kali – all the sons had gathered at Gemma and Clay's – she was holding onto Jackson as he started to tug at her hair. Kali looked at him and then down at Jackson who was smiling at her before she looked to Jax and grabbed his arm.

"I need a word with Jax, alone." Kali stated as she stared at her big brother, she needed to tell him on her own before she told anyone else. "Mom, could you take Jackson?" she asked as she moved to hand her son to her mother.

"Tara?" Jax said, handing his own son to her and then following Kali out the back of the house to where they used to hang out when they were kids and wanted no one to hear them.

"Jax...I have to tell you something, but you have to promise not to kill me when I tell you," Kali took a deep breath watching as Jax nodded before she continued to speak. "This past month, I've known exactly what you were going through. When Jackson was the same age as Abel...he was...well he was kidnapped,"

"Kali!" Jax exclaimed as he turned around and looked away from her. He wasn't about to walk away from her, he had to hear what his little sister had to say.

"I'm sorry! Look, I couldn't call you. They already thought I was the one that had taken him. I'd left him with his father and friends, so that I could go out for a couple of hours to clear my head. You know me." she paused grabbing his arm, and trying to make him look a her. "Jax, please...look at me,"

"Why didn't you call me, call us?" Jax asked balling his fists and moving to hit her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it when he saw the look on her face. "I'm sorry kiddo, come here,"

-flash back-

Walking up to the front door of her brother's house Kali glanced backwards to ensure that her bike was still where she had only just parked it. It had been a present from Jax the day she had turned 17 - and they had restored it together. Once she knew that the bike was still there she walked up to the front door, knocked once before she walked in. Wendy Case - Jax's wife - was sitting at the dining room table doing Methamphetamines, she didn't pay any attention to Kali as she waked through the house looking for her brother, not game enough to call out to see if he was home. After a couple of minutes she walked out of the house, and back down to her bike - not bothering to take a photo of what she had seen as she believed that Jax would believe her.

-end flash back-

"The person that the boys had called to look after him while they went out, it turns out had connections...to rival gangs/clubs. They didn't know who I was, my friends, they still don't...It took the F.B.I a month to track down where Jackson was. The night I was out...I met Penelope in the bar in person for the first time – we talked – and then she got called out, and then Sam called me, said that he'd been taken and that I needed to get back to the hotel," Kali rambled, it was the only way she was going to get everything that she had to say out. "When I got back to the hotel, there was an entire team of FBI agents looking around, they asked me who I was. When I said that I was the child's mother they took me away for questioning. They thought that I had taken him...that is after they saw the Reaper tattoo,"

Jax continued to listen to Kali until Chibs walked up to them, he had been standing in the doorway watching the siblings wondering who was going to break first. Jax looked at the older man and then stared at Kali, Kali offered him a smile before she spoke.

"I called Chibs...I didn't know who else to call. I sure as hell wasn't going to call you, not after the way you just acted," Kali took a deep breath and sat on the ground cross-legged looking up at both the men. "Do you even realise how hard it was to keep that secret for eighteen months?"

"Kali, you can always call me – you know you can," Jax said, glancing down at her as she sat on the ground.

"Chibs can you get mom, she kind of sort of doesn't know about this...no one here but you knows," Kali paused realising that she was going to be in deep shit for not telling her mother sooner.

A week later and Jax, Opie, Juice, Bobby and Chibs had been sent to negotiate with the Mayan and they hadn't returned yet. Jax had sent Clay a message that they needed help.

"Do you think you can handle the Mayans?" Clay asked, looking down at Kali as she held both Abel and Jackson in her arms.

"What are you talking about?" Kali asked still hold both children, as she looked up at Clay.

"Your big brother needs your help, I'm sending you and Happy in to rescue them," Clay said motioning for her to hand the kids to Gemma and Tara.

"Mom? Can't you stop him?" Kali bit her lip before she kissed both boys on the forehead. Gemma shook her head. "Alright, Happy give me five,"

"I'll wait out front," Happy nodded before walking out the door and to the bikes.

"Don't make my baby girl do this," Gemma said as Kali handed her Jackson and Abel to Tara.

"Jax asked for her specifically, and I didn't ask why." Clay answered, Kali glared at him and grabbed her jacket.

"Take care of my baby," Kali said, kissing her mother before she walked out the door.

Kali walked down the path to Happy and climbed on her bike, pulling on her helmet as she nodded at the older man. Happy and Kali rode silently until they reached where Jax, Opie, Juice, Bobby and Chibs were being held.

"Let me go in first, come in a minute after I do," Kali told him, Happy agreed it was all he could do to, to not get her killed. "Not more than a minute."

"Don't fret, I'll be in straight after you," Happy replied, nodding as he stood next to the bike. "Got everything?"

"When haven't I had everything?" Kali replied, pulling her gun from small of her waist before putting it back and then making sure that she had her knife in the hilt on her ankle, under her boot. Taking off her jacket she threw it over her bike, she had no patches on the jacket. Rather her Sons connection was tattooed on her.

She calmly walked towards the Mayans club doors, smiled at the guards who went to grab her to stop her from going. Kali shook her head at both of them, as she rolled up the sleeve on her shirt.

"I wouldn't mess with me, if I was you," she stated pushing her way into the club before she was grabbed from behind. "Did you not hear what I just said?" She questioned, grabbing person's arm from behind and twisting them to be in front of her. "Don't mess with me. Where are the Sons?"

"Bitch, I ain't saying nothing," he said, Kali pushed him against the wall. She may have been shorter than him but she could handle herself.

"Where is my brother!" she nearly screamed in his face as she pulled her gun from the small of her back and held it against his head. "Either you tell me where they are, or I put a bullet hole in your head,"

"Down the hall to the left," he muttered before Kali knocked him out with the butt of the gun.

"Thank you," she grinned, as Happy entered the building after her, he had had to knock the two guards out. "There this way,"

"Lead the way," Happy grinned back at her, he knew that she occasionally enjoyed letting off steam on the bad guys.

"Hi boys," she smiled pushing the door open after she had put the gun back in her pants and motioned for Happy to stay hidden a little longer. Looking around the room she noticed the man who had kidnapped her son. "Arsehole!"

"Kali?" Jax questioned looking at her from the floor as she pulled her gun and aimed it at the Mayan.

"He's the shit-head that kidnapped Jackson. Alvarez, do you know what he did to my boy?" Kali questioned still aiming it at the Mayan as she walked straight up to Alvarez. "He tried to sell him, that's what. You don't sell children!"

One of the Mayans aimed his gun at Jax's head, Kali saw the reflection in the mirror and reached down and pulled her knife from the hilt on her ankle. She grinned as she aimed it at his wrist. Alvarez looked at her and then at the man the knife was aimed at.

"Let my brother go, or I let go of the knife," she had her gun pointed at the other Mayan until Happy walked in and aimed it at the back of his head. When he didn't move Kali put her gun back in the her pants again and then let go of the knife, hitting him square in the wrist. "I did warn you, Jax you alright?"

"Not really," Jax muttered, still on the floor as Kali walked over to him and then kicked two other Mayans out of the way.

"How about you three leave them alone before you end up like your friend," Kali said, bending down to Jax and untying his arms from behind his back. "Alvarez, either you tell them to back off now or I get a friend of mine to shut your operation down,"

Jax rolled onto his back and lay there for a minute, before moving to sit up and hug his sister. He was glad that she turned up and not Clay. Alvarez motioned for his men to back away and let the Sons leave.

"What the hell did you do to him?" Kali questioned as soon as she saw Jax's knee. "It's a good thing that I carry this everywhere," she pulled a bandage out of one of her other pockets, and started to wrap his knew up as best she could. "Tara's gonna have a fit when she sees this you know. As for you next time you lay a finger on my brother I won't be so kind,"

"Take care of your men." Chibs told Alvarez as he helped Kali get Jax up and on his feet. "Call Tig and get him to bring the van,"

"Kali call them," Jax said leaning against her as they got to the bikes. "Get him to bring the trailer too,"

"Fine, I'll call," Kali sighed pulling her cell out and dialling Tig directly. "Tig, bring the van and trailer. Need it to take mine and Jax's bikes,"

'Kali, what happened?' Tig questioned, not moving until he had answers.

"The Mayans got a little over excited, got Jax pretty good. So can you please bring the van?" Kali begged the older man as she looked at her big brother. "Mom is going to kill me,"

"No she won't, she'll get me first and then you," Jax laughed, looking at Opie, Chibs, Juice, Bobby and Happy who weren't leaving until the two Teller's were safe inside the back of the van. Only then would they leave.

"Guys get out of here, Jax and I will be good," Kali said as Alvarez walked towards them, causing Opie to pull his gun and aim it at him. "Ope, it's okay,"

"Miss Teller, you might like this back," Alvarez said to her, handing her back her knife. "My man will be dealt with," he added referring to the one who had taken her child.

"Thank you," Kali nodded at him, as he walked back inside the club and shut the door behind him.

Moments later Tig pulled up with the van and trailer. Chibs rolled Kali's bike on the back as Opie helped Kali get Jax in the back before they rolled Jax's bike up the back as well. As soon as he was sitting on the bench seat Jax passed out, causing Kali to swear. Opie slammed the door shut, hitting the door of the van as a sign for Tig to go. The others mounted their bikes and rode back to Teller-Morrow Automotives with Kali keeping an eye on her brother while she called Tara and asked her for to meet them there.

"Tara, babe it's about Jax, can you meet us at the club?" Kali questioned, prodding Jax to get him to wake up. "Don't tell mom, she'll kill us both,"

'I'll be there,' Tara replied before hanging up the phone and grabbing her car keys.

"She'll meet us there," Kali poked Jax again as she lifted up the bandage that she had wrapped around his knee. Around five minutes later they were nearly there. "Jackson, wake your damn ass. Damn it Jackson," she slapped him upside the face.

"I'm awake," Jax muttered opening his eyes and looking at her as they pulled up at the club house. "Don't make me get up again, it's going to be the death of me,"

"Yeah, well you have to stay awake at least till Tara gets here," Kali said as they stayed sitting in the van she pushed down on the wound, not liking the look of what was under it.

"I love my kid sister you know that, right?" Jax questioned, leaning against her and not opening his eyes.

"I know, Jax. I know," She smiled at him as Tara opened the door of the van and took one look at him.

"We have to get him to the hospital now, I can't fix it here," Tara said staring at both Tellers. "What happened anyway?"

"Clay sent them on a mission to talk to the Mayans and lets just say things went south. I wasn't expecting this though," Kali answered, it was all she could say without being warned not to divulge too much. "Tig, can you get us there?"

"Go in your old car, it still runs, your mom drives it from time to time," Tig climbed out of the van and went to grab the car keys from in the office.
