Katerina Davenport sat on the side of the road in the down pour, opening the first file she had, glancing over the information she had. She knew all about the Sons of Anarchy, Redwood Originals,she had grown up in Charming. Hell she had gone to school with Opie and Jax from kindergarten to when they dropped out when they were sixteen.
She had become an instructor so she wouldn't have to get involved with these types of cases anymore. In fact; anytime a case came up involving her home town, she didn't want anything to do with it she tried to stay as far away from it as she could. Then that bitch Stall found out she was from Charming, the ruthless bitch did some digging and uncovered some family secrets, and threatened to expose them, unless Kat helped her with this case.
So now here she sat on the side of the road, trying to get to know the members of the MC, her job was try to make a hopeful "romantic" connection with one of the members. Kat felt like it was wrong to go about an investigation this way, but Stall held all the cards and she had no choice. She had three men to choose from.
Harry "Opie" Winston, Filip "Chib" Telford, or Happy Lowman, reading their profile she really didn't want to do this. Her phone rang, seeing it was Stall, she thought about ignoring the call, but she knew the woman would hound her until she answered.
"Davenport."
"Have you decided who the lucky man is yet?"
"No, not yet."
"I think it should be Winston or Telford, either one of them is vulnerable, Lowman is a mean son of a bitch."
"I really don't want to do it this way. Playing with their emotions this way isn't right..."
"Look I want the Sons to go down for their crimes, and your going to help me or I'm going to let it leak about your family. You'll loose your job and everything you've worked for."
"What proof do you even have..."
"Better yet, I think you should pick both men, let them fight over you. You're a beautiful woman..." Tired of hearing her voice, and evil thoughts, Kat ended the call, she laid her head on the steering wheel. She wished that the secret would have stayed buried, where no one would have found it, including Stall.
Lifting her head, she started stuffing the files back into the briefcase, she shut and locked it, she went to start her car, it wouldn't start. Picking up her phone, she called the only garage she knew in Charming.
"Teller-Morrow Automotive,this is Gemma, how may I help you?"
"I'm stranded at the city limits sign north of town, can you send a tow truck?"
"It will be about ten minutes, what's your name."
"Kat Davenport."
"I'll send someone right out."
Pinching the bridge of her nose, she was glad the matriarch, didn't recognize her name. She leaned her head against the seat, trying to come up with a way to get out of this impossible situation. There were no solutions to her problem, laying her head on her steering wheel, she hoped that one would come her way.

Opie and Chibs pulled up behind the red SUV, getting out of the tow truck Opie walked to the driver's side window, tapping on the window. Watching the woman inside jumping, and looking over at him. The windows were slightly foggy, she wiped it away, looking up at him. She smiled at him, opening her car door, when she saw his shirt.
"I'm Opie from Teller-Morrow Automotive, this is Chibs. You need a tow?"
"I'm Kat Davenport, I think my battery is dead. I pulled over to make a phone call..." The rain had started up again, coming down heavier. She was getting drenched, Chibs put his arm around her waist, guiding her towards the truck.
"Let's get you out of the rain." He helped her inside the truck, closing the door as she slid along the seat. Chibs walked to the back of the truck to help Opie hook up the SUV.
Opie thought about the woman sitting in the cab of the truck, she was beautiful. Her hair was shoulder length auburn color, her eyes were a pale green, she had curves in all the right places, and she hit just under his chin. She was familiar to him, but he couldn't figure out where he knew her from. He heard Chibs talking to him, but he hadn't heard a word that he had said.
"I'm sorry what brother?"
"I said she's a beautiful woman, isn't she?"
Opie was shrugged his shoulders, slightly embarrassed that he had been caught not paying attention. "I hadn't really noticed." Chibs reached into the vehicle grabbing Kat's briefcase and purse, grinning at his brother.

Chibs climbed into the truck, she smiled at him as he gave her the briefcase and purse. "Thank you." She didn't want it to be easy, it was just her luck for them both to be picking her up in the tow truck. She had to decide which one to start on first, Opie or Chibs, truth is she didn't want to start a relationship with either.
"Are you visiting Charming?" Chibs asked.
"No, I actually grew up here, I'm moving back home." She looked over at Opie, waiting for a reaction, not seeing one, she went on with her story. "I'm on sabbatical from my job back east."
"What do you do?" It was an honest question, she had always learned, to tell half truths.
"I'm an instructor at an academy in Virginia." She was an instructor at the FBI academy in Quantico, the only reason she was back in the field again was because of Stall. They pulled into the lot of TM, it was still pouring down rain, she slid out of the truck behind Chibs, carrying her briefcase and purse. He guided her into thr office, so she could fill out the paper work.
She smiled at Gemma, she hadn't looked up yet from the paperwork she had been working on. "Can I help you."
"I'm Kat Davenport..."
Gemma looked up at her. "Katerina, is that you?" She closed her eyes, then slowly opened them, Gemma got up, pulling her into a hug. "Welcome home sweetheart!"
