Chapter 07: Scooby Doo

While they had gotten Abel back from the True IRA, the Sons had been planning something bigger that they knew was going to get them in a lot of trouble and they didn't want Gemma, Tara or Kali to be involved so they told them very little. They didn't want to be indicated in any way so so they were purposely kept in the dark. Though Kali had managed to find out what was going on. She knew about the deal that Jax had made with Agent Stahl – in the that they were to get a reduced sentence, but she promised him that she wouldn't tell the others that she knew about. In the end she had, had to come clean about her knowledge of the deal. She also had found out about the plan to kill Agent Stahl, and said nothing.

"Hey, Mom, there's a letter here for you," Kali said walking into her mothers house pushing Jackson and Abel in stroller, she had taken them out for the day to give Tara and Gemma time to talk. "Jack wanna give Gramma the letter?"

"Okay," Jackson took the letter from her in his hands and held it tightly until Kali undid his belt and then climbed out and ran to Gemma. "Gramma this is for you," he held his hand out to her and then went over and climbed onto the lounge.

"Abel's a little fussy, I think he wants his dad," Kali said holding the younger boy on her hip as she looked at Tara and Gemma.

"Take the boys to visit him," Gemma said, motioning to Jackson and Abel. "And take Tara,"

"Tara, did you tell Jax?" Kali asked, she knew the older woman hadn't seen her brother since they had gone in. And she wasn't sure if she had told him that she was pregnant with his child.

"Not yet," Tara replied placing her hand on her stomach and biting her lip as she looked at her. "How is Jax?"

"An ass, his knees screwed...but we knew that would happen," Kali laughed, Jax wasn't one for keeping off his feet. He hated it, while he was in a rival club member had slashed his knee again.

"Kali, did you hear what I just said?" Gemma questioned, reading over the letter and then smiling when she realised that Jax wasn't a rat and that it had all been planned. "Did you know?" When Kali didn't answer she asked again. "Did you know?"

"Yes, and yes." she answered biting her lip as there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"

"Opie," came the voice at the other side of the door.

"Come in Ope," Gemma called back, placing the letter on the table and staring at her daughter as Tara stood up and took Abel from her.

The sons minus Chibs, Piney, Opie and Kozik, had spent fourteen in months in prison and in that time Tara gave birth to a healthy baby boy who she named Thomas after talking Kali, Gemma and Jax. When they left prison they were greeted by Chibs, Piney, Opie, Kozik, Tara, Kali, Gemma and the children. Each woman holding tightly onto a child.

"Ladies, what are you doing here?" Clay questioned, kissing Gemma on the cheek as Abel looked at him giggled.

"How else were we going to get you all home?" Kali asked motioning to the parking lot where they had stashed Kali's car, the club's van and Tara's car. "Tara has mom and the kids, Piney'll have who ever fits in the van and I'll have Jax and whoever in mine,"

"Alright miss bossy," Jax said limping over to Tara and kissing her, before taking Abel from her and giving his youngest a hug.

"Unky!" Jackson laughed pointing at him, before looking to Clay. "Umpa!"

"He means you dad," Kali smiled at the older man as she placed Jackson on the ground and he ran straight over to Clay. "And, Jax we need to talk,"

The following day the Sons found out that there was a new Lieutenant in Charming called Eli Roosevelt. He announced himself at Teller-Morrow Automotive.

"Miss Teller would you please get your family," Roosevelt said to her as he knocked on the office door.

"Just a moment," Kali answered as she glanced into the shop and saw the small gathering that they were having.

"Now, Miss Teller," Roosevelt said again, as he looked in the office, he hadn't looked in any of the shop sections as he had walked up as the roller doors had been closed.

"I said give me a moment," Kali hissed looking up and seeing him in the door way. "Can you not see that I'm on the phone?" she questioned, before telling the person she'd call them later. "You want them I'll get them," she walked over to the entrance to the office and whistled. "Everyone, over here,"

Roosevelt turned away from the office, as Jax looked in the side door to see what was going on. Kali motioned for him to walk in the side office so as to surprise Roosevelt. Jax walked in and wrapped an arm around his sister kissing her on the top of the forehead. The brother and sister walked out of the office, and joined the other members of SAMCRO.

"Guys, this is Lieutenant Eli Roosevelt," Kali said as Jax stayed by her side before Clay joined her other side. "Took over from Unser,"

"What can we do for you?" Clay said as both he and Jax stood protectively around Kali. All of SAMCRO stood facing Roosevelt, wondering what he had to say.

"Just letting you know that if any of the recently paroled members of the Sons of Anarchy are seen wearing their leathers than they will associated with gang action," Roosevelt told them, Jax swore under his breath and grabbed his sister's shoulder.

"We are motorcycle enthusiasts, not a gang," Clay said it was a line that he used all the time, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't.

"Dad, let me," Kali smiled at him and moved to walk away from Jax who grabbed her arm. "Jackson I can do this,"

"Kal, leave it, let Clay handle it," Jax said to, Kali sighed and stepped back next to her brother and scowled at Roosevelt. "Let's go fix up the new bike," The brother and sister walked away from the others, it was the only way that they were going to keep their tempers.

"I was on the phone when he came in," Kali said, running a hand through her hair as grabbed one of the tools and started to tinker with the bike. "Can't tell you more until he's gone,"

"Sounds serious, kiddo," Jax said as they both put their heads in the bike started tinkering with it.

"Could be," Kali answered, glancing towards the others to see what was going on. "I don't think Roosevelt's going to be a push-over like Unser,"

"What makes you say that?" Jax questioned, as he started to pull apart the motor and lay pieces on the ground.

"Look at him, he's standing there not intimidated at all. That's what makes me say it," Kali laughed, she wasn't sure how she was going to tell him who she was talking to. "Mind if we go into the clubhouse?"

Jax nodded and they walked into the club house checking to make sure that no one followed them inside. Once they were inside they went into 'church' and closed the door, sitting at the table and staring at each other. Kali pulled her phone and searched for the voice mail that .

"Listen to this," Kali said pressing play once she had found what she was looking for.

'You asked me too look into Eli Roosevelt, and Jacob Hale. They're not as good as they claim to be. Letting you now that my team will be there in a weeks time, thought you might like to get your brother and family cleaned up and all nice.' Penelope's voice rang through to the end of the recording. Jax looked at his sister and put his hands in his head.

"When did you ask her to do this?" Jax asked, as still with his hands on his hand.

"As soon as he started, she's been digging for about a month. Only let me know last week," Kali answered, biting her lip as she looked at him. "Look, I'm looking out for you guys. Keep your cuts in my car till this blows over, seriously."

"What would we do without the little devious sister," Jax laughed standing up and kissing the top of her head as the rest of SAMCRO walked into 'church'. "Roosevelt's bad news,"

"How bad?" Clay questioned, looking to both his step-children as he sat at the head of the table and the sons took their seats around the table. "Doors,"

"Brother, it's bad enough that her friend's team is coming to Charming," Jax answered, looking to Clay as he sat at his seat next to him. "Kal play them the tape,"

"Alright, listen to what my friend has to say," Kali nodded, pressing play so that the others could hear the message that Penelope had left her.

The SOA listened to what the recording said, and then looking at each other before Jax spoke again and told them that they should leave their cuts in Kali's car as no one would think to look in the car of a young woman. Although she had connections her friend at the FBI had no idea just how far she had gotten in, going back to when she was younger.

"I'll pull the car into the garage, and lock it up and we'll stick them in," Jax said, grabbing Kali's keys from her and moving to leave 'church'.

"Brother, wait a minute," Tig said, unsure if it's what they should be doing.

"Tig, unless you want to go back in. Trust me, please," Kali said looking to the older man, who scowled at her but nodded. Jax walked out and got Kali's car and drove it into the garage, and closed the door as the others filed in removing their cuts.

Kali laughed, she knew Jax had forgotten all about the zipper under the seat. She opened up the back door and then leant over and unzipped the seat, pulling the whole of the bottom down to reveal a locked box.

"When'd you install this?" Chibs said as Kali took the key from around her neck and unlocked the box.

"Teenager. Clay helped me put it in." she smiled looking to Clay who then remembered why they had done it. "Yes, I still keep a heap of shit in it on occasion,"

"Well hand 'em over." Chibs said moving to take everyone's cuts and put them in the locked box.

"Anyone ever checked?" Bobby asked, looking at her as he took his cut off and handed it to Chibs Jax took his off and threw it in the box.

"Nah, no ones ever noticed that it was there. I only ever used it when I was in a jam," she answered pulling a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket and taking one out. "Anyone have a light?" Opie offered her, his as the others all pulled out a smoke each. "Thanks Ope,"

"Welcome," Opie nodded as she lit hers and then handed it back.

"When'd you start up again?" Clay questioned, last he knew she didn't smoke, hadn't in a while.

"14 months is a long ass time with out my family," she replied, it was her way of indicating that it had been that long since she started up again. "What? I don't do it in front of the kids, only while I'm here,"

Clay realised that Happy, Opie, Piney and Kozik had managed to get Kali in helping with the running of the club and SAMCRO to ensure that Gemma had more time with Tara and the grandchildren. Kali didn't mind it kept her occupied, she missed her partner Sam, she hadn't seen him in a while.

The following day Jax was sitting in his living room nursing his baby son Thomas as his nephew Jackson ran in and up to him followed by his toddler son Abel. Both boys had been playing Abel's bedroom. Tara and Kali had gone out to run some errands leaving Jax to look after the three boys until they got back.

"Woah, boys come sit here with me," he laughed patting beside him on the couch as he rocked Abel.

"Unky, ooby," Jackson pointed to the television, Jax looked at his nephew and then noticed that both kids were sitting on the floor.

"Alright, we'll put Scooby on," he smiled picking up the remote and turning the TV on so that the boys could watch Scooby Doo. "You're lucky I love you boys,"

After half an hour of watching the boys watching cartoons they had all fallen asleep, so Jax didn't notice when Tara and Kali walked back into the house to put away the groceries. Tara smiled when she saw Jax asleep on the couch with Abel on his chest. Kali snickered, it was quite the site seeing her big brother surrounded by children.

"Mom'll get a kick out of this," she laughed taking a photo of the scene before them as Jax opened his eyes slowly and yawned as the photo was taken.

"Bitch," Jax laughed yawning again as he moved Abel off his chest and looked at his sleeping son. "Put in him in the crib, would you,"

"Hand him over and go help Tara," Kali said, leaning over the two small boys to take her nephew from him. "FBI's here tomorrow."

"Fuck, Ope's wedding is tomorrow," Jax said suddenly, remembering that his best-friend was marrying Lyla.

"Jackson! What did I say about swearing?" Kali questioned, looking at her brother as she nursed Abel in her arms.

"Sorry," he stuck out his tongue as Tara walked back into the room. "Tara, have I told you how much I love you,"

"Everyday,"
