Chapter 4
I walk out to the main room and the guys were getting ready to leave. Each one of them walks over to me and kisses my cheek with a promise that nothing like that will ever happen to me again. Once they leave, Gemma comes to me and hugs me and says "It's going to be fine."
The guys pull up to Kyle's house and Jax walks up and knocks on the door. April Hobbart, Kyle's wife, answers the door. "Hey Jax. What are you doing here?" April asks. "Is Kyle home?" Jax asks. "No. He said he was going on a run for the club and wouldn't be back for a few days." she says. "When was this?" Jax asks. "He left about an hour ago. Want me to call him?" April asks. "No. That's okay." Jax tells her before walking back to his bike and heading around the corner to the rest of the club. "April says he told her that he was on a run for the club and that he wouldn't be back for a couple of days." Jax says. "Shit." Opie says. "Someone needs to keep watch for him to come back." Tig says. "Yeah. But where else could he be?" Juice asks. "There's no telling. Prospect, you and Tig take first watch. You see that fucking prick, you call us and keep a tail on him." Clay says and they both nod their understanding.
The guys get back to the clubhouse and Jax and Opie walk up to me. "We went to his house and April said he told her he would be gone a few days that he was on a run for us. We have Tig and Sack watching the house for him. Juice is going to see if he can track his accounts and shit and see where he might be." Jax says. "Can you have him check the traffic cameras near Kyle's house and see if there's something there?" I asked. "Yeah. That's a good idea. Juice, check traffic cams from his house too." Jax calls to Juice who just nods and does as he's told.
A little later, Tara and Gemma are sitting with me on one of the couches and Jax and Opie are watching me closely. I just stare into space. "Think she's gonna be okay?" Opie asked. "Don't know. Still can't believe that fucker did this to her." Jax says. "This kill is mine brother." Opie says. Jax looks at him with a curious look. Opie just says "It's mine." before walking back to his dorm. Gemma walks over and asks Jax, "What was that with Opie?" she asked. "He's just worried, that's all. We all are. How's she doing?" Jax asks. "Not good. She's barely eating. We told her that she could go lay down and she won't sleep. She's just in a daze. Me and Tara are keeping close so you guys just do what you need to do." she tells him.
Jax walks down the hall to Opie's dorm. Knocking, he walks in and sees his best friend sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. "What's going on brother?" Jax asks. "Just want that fucker gone." Opie says and I can tell he's pissed off. "What was that out there, telling me this kill is yours? Something you wanna share?" Jax asks. "She didn't deserve that shit." Opie says simply. Jax just looks at him for a minute and smirks. "You got a thing for her?" Jax asks. Opie sighs and says "Yeah. I'm into her, man. But, fuck, this has got her so fucking scared. I can't have that shit. He needs to be taken out." Opie says. "I agree brother but what are you going to do about her?" Jax asks. "All I can do now is be there for her and protect her the best I can." Opie says. Opie stands up and Jax hugs him. "Take care of her brother." Jax says before they come back out to the main room.
As soon as Jax and Opie walk back into the main room, Tara and Gemma walk over to them. "She okay?" Opie asks. "No. She won't eat and won't sleep. She just sits there." Tara says. Opie walks over to me and kneels in front of me. "Hey. Look at me." he says as he tilts my head to look at him. "You need to eat something and get some rest." he tells me. "I'm not hungry. A little sick to my stomach." I tell him. "Well, then you need to try to sleep." he tells me. I just shake my head no. Opie stands up and says "Come on." and holds out his hand. I take his hand and he leads me to my dorm. He sits on the bed and takes his boots off and his kutte and lays on the bed. "What are you going?" I asked. "You need to sleep. Come here." he says. I walk over to the bed and lay down. He pulls me to him and I lay my head on his chest and he says "Just concentrate on my heartbeat." as he rubs his hand up and down my back and before I know it, I am drifting off to sleep.
