Chapter 13
After a round in the bed and another in the shower, we head out to the main room. "You two finally come up for air?" Tig asks. "We can go back if you don't want us here. I won't complain about getting more dick." I say and Tig looks at me shocked that something like that came out of my mouth. "Clara, doll, I think we finally corrupted you." he says and I start laughing. Happy leans down and whispers "I definitely won't complain about being inside that pussy again." and I feel the shiver run down my spine and he smirks when he feels it. "No time. Church. You too Clara." Jax says as he walks up and Happy and I look at him confused.
Walking into chapel, they all take their seats and Happy pulls me into his lap. "I just heard from Lowen. Looks like Stahl is looking at Clara now, for Mark's disappearance." he says. I feel Happy's grip on me tighten and Bobby asks "What are we going to to about it?" I look at Happy and he looks at me confused. I raise an eyebrow and he nods. "Guys, I might have an idea." I tell them and Jax nods for me to continue. "You remember the night you found me? How beaten up I was?" I ask and they nod and Juice says "Oh yeah." They look at him confused. "Gemma had me take pictures of her injuries incase we ever needed it. I forgot about that." he says. "Right. I can give those to Lowen. She can spin it that he came home drunk, started beating me and I protected myself. Let his body turn up. Then they have the body and after seeing Lowen with the pictures from the attack, it will be self defense." I tell them. "That might work." Bobby says. "Get Lowen here." Jax says and Tig walks out to call her to meet us at the police station.
Walking into the police station, lawyer in tow, everyone else is at the clubhouse waiting to hear from us. Unser sees us and asks "What's going on?" Lowen looks at him and says "My client is turning herself in for the disappearance of Mark Walker." Unser looks at us shocked but leads us to a room and sits with us while Stahl takes my statement. "What's this?" Stahl asks. "Those are pictures taken the night Mark went missing. Mark had beaten me up pretty bad. Gemma Teller Morrow took the pictures when I got there to document the injuries." I tell her. "How long had this been going on?" she asks. "About a year. We weren't in a relationship. From the time I was fourteen years old, my father made his money by letting men have sex with me. I was nothing more than property. About a year before those pictures were taken, Mark bought me from my father. Started using me as his own personal party favor. Letting his friends rape me while he watched. Then he would beat me up, much like those pictures because he swore up and down I enjoyed it. The night Mark went missing, he came in drunk, found out I had been seeing Happy and started beating the shit out of me. I knew where Mark kept his gun. When he came in drinking, I was in the kitchen. He started beating the shit out of me again and I got away from him. I ran to the living room and grabbed his gun from the end table drawer and aimed it at him. He kept coming at me. I knew he was going to kill me so I pulled the trigger. I killed him." I tell her. She looks at me shocked as does Unser. "Where is he?" Stahl asks. "He's buried in the backyard. I didn't know what to do. I panicked. He's in the back right corner beside the rose bushes. You'll find one bullet wound to the head." I tell her. "We need to keep your client here while we confirm this." Stahl says. Lowen looks at me and I nod. "I'll fill the guys in." Lowen says. "I'll stay with her." Unser says and she looks at me and I nod again. As soon as they are both out of the room, Unser asks "You okay sweetheart?" I look at him and say "I think so. Just want this to be over." I tell him.
Four hours later, Stahl comes in with the DA with her. "We found his body just like you said. Seeing the pictures and everything you have told us, it's a clear case of self defense." she tells us. "So my client is free to go?" Lowen asks. "Yes. Thank you for your cooperation Mrs Lowman." she says. I nod and walk out the door with Lowen. Pulling up to the clubhouse, we get out of the car and head inside where everyone is. As soon as we walk in the door, Happy walks over to me and crashes his lips with mine and pulls me as close as he can get me. "What happened?" Jax asks. "DA declared it a case of self defense. No charges will be filed." she tells them. They shake her hand and I say "Thank you." She smiles before seeing herself out of the clubhouse. Happy pulls me closer and whispers "It's over babe." I look at him and say "It is."
