The SUV was silent on the ride from Charming to Stockton, Kat wondered what the hell was going on for her to be picked up in such a manner. These asshats didn't have to be so rough, she was still hurting from the beating she had taken from the day before. She was pretty sure, that the junior agents picking her up, wouldn't have any answers for her.
She was surprised when the SUV pulled into the under ground garage, coming to a stop, she was yanked from the backseat roughly. "Want to take it easy, little G-men?" The agent shoved her in the elevator, she fell to her knees, the man grinned. He jerked her up, shoving her against the wall. She smirked at him.
"What are you smiling about?" He glared at her.
"You'll find out in a few minutes!" The elevator opened, she was dragged out, and pushed into an interrogation room. She was handcuffed to the table, the junior agents left her there, she sat and waited. The door opened, she looked up frowning. "Do you mind Gene? I've had a hell of a twenty-four hours."

"You were suppose to protect her, instead you let her get dragged off?" He glared at Phil and Rat.
"They kicked in the door, handcuffed us, and dragged us out to separate SUVs..." Phil said.
"Then why are you two back here, and she's still gone?" His temper was threatening to boil over, as he glared at the two prospects. All he could think about was that Jimmy had her again, and this time he was going to kill her. That would be the only explanation of Phil and Rat being let go, he couldn't even think straight. Jax came forward, placing his hand on Chibs' shoulder.
"Tell us everything that happened, did you get plate numbers of the other SUVs so Juice can try to track them?" Phil and Rat slowly started to tell every detail that they could remember. They'd cut looks at Chibs, he paced the room, he'd mutter things in Gaelic. Running his hands through his hair, Juice was sit up at the kitchen bar, hacking into databases, looking up information.
"I found something!" Juice yelled. Chibs rushed over to the bar, starring at the computer screen, in time to see Kat being shoved into an elevator by an FBI agent.
"Those bastards!" He started for the door, Happy and Tig grabbed him.
"You can't go off and get her. You need to wait for her to call you." Jax said.
"If those pricks hurt her!" He couldn't finish.
"We'll deal with it, just wait for the call."

Gene turned off the camera in the room, then undid the handcuffed, he smiled at her. "Are you alright? I know you were taken and beaten? Why didn't you check in?"
"I couldn't, it would blow my cover. I received medical care."
"Who's responsible?"
"Jimmy O'Phalan, he targeted me because of who I'm with."
"Filip "Chibs" Telford?"
"Yes, they have a long history. I'm sure by this time Filip knows I've been taken again, and is worried."
"I can't let you go back out there Kat."
"You have no choice Gene, Stahl is a loose cannon. She is responsible for the death of an innocent woman, she killed her own partner, I'm the only one that can bring her down. When this is over I'm retiring completely."
"Don't get caught up in the drama of it all..."
She looked at him smiling sadly. "It's too late, I already am. I'll need to call Filip in a couple of hours to come get me." She held out her wrist so he could handcuff her back to the table, he turned the camera back on, she laid her head on the table to rest. It was going to be a long afternoon, closing her eyes, she couldn't wait for this shit to be over with.
She was being roughly shaken awake by one of the asshats that had brought her in. "Agent Jinks, said you could go!" He undid the handcuff your wrist,rubbing your wrist, you frowned at him.
"Got a phone I could use?" He shoved her out into the hall, she fell against the wall, he laughed. "Watch yourself!"
"Threaten me, and I'll lock you up!" She held her tongue because she was undercover, but this little asshat would get his. She made a note of his name Agent Lipe, asshole.
He answered before the call fully rang twice. "Baby, I'm at FBI headquarters in Stockton, can you please come get me?"
"I'm on my way mo luaidh (my heart)." She hang up the phone, going outside she sat on the front steps to wait for him to pick her up. Looking up when she heard the rumble of several bikes, she pulled herself up. He had brought his truck, knowing she was in no condition to ride, she came down the stairs, meeting him at the bottom.
He pulled her into his arms, kissing her. "I'm so happy to see you. I haven't even seen Phil or Rat, I don't know where they are..."
"They were tossed out, they only kept you." She looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes, wondering which genius made that mistake. She was probably going to be killed now because of it, they'll think she was a rat.
She shook her head. "I didn't tell them anything...I...I..." The tears flowing down her face, he reached up, wiping them away.
"I know you didn't sweetheart. You wouldn't do that..." The only thing she shared was about that snake Jimmy, hoping that he'd be picked up, and some of Chibs' pain eliminated. "Let's get you home, yeah?"
She nodded her head. "What's everyone doing here?" She titled her head towards the rest of the club.
"They wanted to make sure that you were whole." He kissed her lips, his arm around her waist, guiding her to the truck. Climbing inside, she gets comfortable for the ride home. She watched him get behind the driver's side of the truck, he leaned across the seat, kissing her before taking off for home.

She couldn't sleep that night, she ended up pacing the living room at three am, her mind racing, she heard his footsteps coming down the hall. Turning to face him, he ran his hands over his face, wrapping his arms around her. "Come back to bed."
"I didn't want to keep you awake, with my tossing and turning." He lowered his lips to hers.
"I need you next to me to sleep, come back to bed." He guided her down the hall, to their room. She lay curled next to him, her mind not shutting down, listening to his relaxed breathing, she couldn't help but worry how it would all end for her. When she came clean and told him, would he forgive her, kill her himself, or send Happy to do it. Maybe she should just leave, and not look back, it would cause a lot of heartbreak, but at least she would still be alive.
She could be put in WitPro, and start all over, it really didn't appeal to her, giving up everything, but she really didn't have a choice. Rolling to her side, she watched him sleep, walking away from him without even saying good bye, she didn't want to think about it.

She reached out for him, but his side of the bed was empty, she heard the shower running. Getting up from the bed, she took her clothes off joining him, wrapping her arms around his waist, she kissed his back. He turned around smiling at her, pulling her into his arms. "Good morning." Kissing her, his hands sliding down her body.
"I love you, I hope you know that." She looked up at him, fighting back her tears.
"I love you too. What's going on?" She could only shake her head, as she leaned into his embrace. "Talk to me A GrĂ¡ (my love)." His eyes were full of worry and concern, as his hands lifted her face to his. She laid her head on his chest, letting him wrap his arms, around her, shivering from what's to come.
"It's nothing..." She would tell him everything tonight. "It's just lack of sleep."
"I want you to rest today. I don't want you getting sick on me. I have to run to the clubhouse for a few hours, then I'll be back to take care of you." She nodded her head, stepping from the shower, she grabbed a towel.

She had everything ready when he came home from the club, he walked into the house, frowning at her. "I thought I told you to stay in bed and rest."
"Sit down, I need to talk to you." She could see the panic in his eyes, the fear that she was leaving him. That it had became to much for her, he grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him.
"Katerina?" She pulled her hand from his, pulling her credentials from her back pocket she handed them to him. "What's this?"
"I'm Special Agent Katerina Davenport, FBI." She watched the look of confusion wash over his face, he jumped up from the couch.
"Is this some kind of joke?" The confusion was gone, there was anger in his voice, she stood in front of him.
"Let me explain. I retired from field work and was an instructor at the FBI Academy in Quantico. Stahl learned of my connection to the club and blackmailed me to get back into field work. She wanted me to help bring down the Sons." He started to push passed her, she grabbed his arm. "The truth is, the FBI brought me in to take down Stahl, she's been under investigation for questionable and ethical methods. My only condition was that they leave the club alone. They almost have enough to bring her in, I can't keep it from you anymore."
"Everything you've said to me has been a lie." His usual warm eyes, had taken a cold glare.
"I really did fall in love with you." He pushed passed her towards the door, she followed him grabbing his arm. "Please Filip..."
He shoved her against the wall, holding her there, his eyes glazed over with anger and hatred. "These attacks, were any of them real?"
"Some of them were Stahl, Jimmy really did beat me..."
"You're nothing but a lying fed whore." He shoved her to the ground, slamming the door behind him. She picked up her phone, calling Gene to arrange pick up to be taken to a safe house.

Three Weeks Later
Chibs was furious that he had been fooled by Kat, but he still loved her. He sat in the club nursing a Jamerison, wishing he could forget about her. Her scent was permanently on his bed sheets, no matter how many times he washed them. He couldn't close his eyes, without seeing her smile, hearing her voice, his dreams were all about her.
He had sent Kozik to set on her house, to keep an eye on it after he left. He'd come back thirty minutes later, telling him that a van had picked her up. She went freely, he tried to follow, but he was pulled over by the Sheriff's department. Chibs went back over to her house, finding that she's packed up and was gone. There was no trace of her.
Juice had been working overtime searching everywhere for her, and he hadn't had any luck. He hadn't told his brothers about her being an agent, he didn't want them to kill her.
"Son of a bitch! She's in a safe house in Modesto." Juice called out.
Chibs looked up hopeful he had to get to her, his phone rang as he was getting to his bike. "Hello."
"Filip, too bad you're not here to safe her."

Kat was sitting on the couch in the safe house, it had been unusually quiet, she hadn't seen anyone that morning. She pulled her gun from the waist band of her jeans, the door was kicked in, she aimed her gun and fired. The back door was kicked in, she was grabbed from behind, and thrown to the floor.
She was held down by two men, looking up she saw the face of Jimmy O'Phalan. "No one will save you. Stahl told us where to find you, we do hate rats." She struggled to get away, but it was useless. She refused to cry out in pain, she felt the blade of the knife go into her side. Her vision started to go blurry, Jimmy stood over her.
She watched him and his men leave the safe house, she crawled across the floor, going for her phone. She didn't make it before passing out in a pool of blood.
