Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 183 Known
David Hale knew better than to fall in love with a girl that Jax Teller had his eye on. He'd done it before and it ended in heartbreak.
He'd been in love with Tara, but when she left town, he'd forced himself to face reality and move forward with his life. When he saw Tara for the first since her return, he felt nothing. Not love. Not regret. Not hope for a future with her. Just nothing.
He saw her a few times just to make sure that he was really over her. He was over her and she was not over Jax. She didn't tell him, but he could tell by the expression in her eyes when she talked about him.
After spending Friday night with Scarlett, he was thinking about risking heartbreak. She was more law and order than outlaw biker old lady. She was smart; she might actually figure out that any future with Jax would involve him getting killed or getting locked up.
She even told him that she loved having someone to talk to about film noir. It was both their favorite type of film. They had a lot in common. He might have a good chance at taking her from Jax.
When she came up to him at the carnival, he'd been surprised because he'd seen her with Jax earlier. After she told him about Tristen Oswald, he regretted forgetting his off duty weapon at home, but he wasn't worried. He could handle a clown on his own.
As Scarlett pointed to where Tristen was taken into the woods, they saw four carnival workers walk into the woods behind them. He couldn't handle this on his own. He had no choice; he had to get SAMCRO and Jax's help.
He didn't hesitate about getting them involved. Time was the biggest factor and he knew he could count on Jax and SAMCRO. They wouldn't hesitate to help stop the rape of a child. Clay would love the good publicity for the club.
The only drawback was the MC wasn't as disciplined when it came to dealing with criminals. They would give the men an ass kicking they would never forget. He was OK with some unnecessary force being used against some child rapists. His only goal was to keep SAMCRO from killing any of the men.
He was going to do everything in his power to delay the sexual assault of the little girl until Jax and SAMCRO could back him up.
As he ran into the woods, he just hoped he could get there in time.
