Thanks to ericzmic for the review! I'm really glad you're all loving Lenny, she isn't the typical SAMCRO groupie but I also don't think she's as opposed to the laws of the MC land as a Donna or Tara character would be. Don't forget guys, if you like what you're be sure to leave me a few lines at the end. I love hearing what people think of Lenny! Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Hard headed Woman

Inside the Clubhouse the bodies had begun filtering out, 2 of the blondes that had been keeping Tig company were clearing up empty bottles whilst the third was carrying a tray of coffee cups delivering them to the men in cuts that littered the room. Lenny went to grab one after Jax but the girl moved on quickly, Lenny let out a disgruntled scoff and to refrain from muttering bitch.

"Eden, can I grab another one of those?" Jax flashed a grin as the blonde turned back sauntering to his side, the effort this broad was putting it made Lenny feel ill but she put the need to vomit down to the hangover.

"Oh don't worry yourself, Doll. I'm actually not that thirsty anymore," Eden rolled her eyes and carried on as Lenny shrugged what was meant to be an innocent "what?" to Jax as he just shook his head.

Jax wasn't in the mood to play games right now, Clay had thrown last night's party with the hope that at least one of the Sons would be able to find out the true cause of Lenny's return even though Jax was probably the one who come closest he just couldn't commit to the kill when he got close to finding out. He knew Clay was going to be pissed that not one of them had an insight but Lenny had proved different to the usual girls in Charming, she was practiced at keeping things to herself apparently and had a hard shell to crack. Part of him didn't care why she was back but the side of him that believed in the Club to his absolute core made him concerned for the MC as a problem for one Brother was a problem for the whole SOA family and Bobby was a highly regarded member of this family.

"Morning boys and girls," Tigs booming voice bounced off the walls a little louder than many of them would have liked , He and Clay sauntered over to the bar and stood on the other side of the bar facing Jax and Lenny. Eden rushed over with coffees for Clay and Tig, Lenny actually felt bad for the girl and offered her a smile as an apology, even though Lenny didn't understand why Eden felt the need to wait hand and feet on these guys didn't mean she deserved attitude and judgement from a stranger.

Conscience clean Lenny turned back to the conversation the three guys were having, she caught how Clay had just mentioned that they needed discuss business and took that as the President's not so subtle cue for her to vacate.

"Would it be okay to grab my keys from the office, Clay? I'm gonna take a run into town before heading out to Uncle Bobby's" Lenny stretched out and caught how Tig let his eyes linger on her exposed midriff, quickly pulling her shirt down she figured she have to get used to some of the guys over enthusiastic appreciation seeing as she wasn't a kid in their eyes anymore.

"Sure, sweetie. Jax parked in the shop garage, you gonna be okay on your own? Can get the girls to take a ride with you?" Clay lit up a cigar as he regarded Lenny.

"No, thanks. I'll be fine, tell Bobby where I've gone?" Jax nodded as she said her goodbyes heading out to the shop office.

As soon as the Lenny was out of ear shot Clay pitched up about the task he'd set the boys, "So we find out why she's back?"

He knew instantly Jax had nothing for him from the look on his stepson's face, "hmm, Opie got nothing either," he took a long drag on his cigar , " Somethings off with the whole thing though. Bobby called a few contacts in Arizona trying to book her for a gig and he got told she was headed for Texas on some tour shit with friends,"

"You think it's money problems?" Tig piped up.

"Naw man, only thing Lenny let on was that whatever went down in Arizona had been dealt with. She wasn't giving anything up though," Jax scratched at his beard as he thought back to the porch this morning when Lenny practically shut off when questioned about it.

Tig had a huge grin and gleam in his eye as he smacked Jax on the back, "You tap that last night, Brother?" As always Tig had misconstrued an innocent choice of words causing Clay to erupt with laughter and shot Jax a questioning look.

"No dude, that's Bobby niece!" Jax defended himself as Tig nodded unconvinced.

"You wanted to though," Jax just shook his head as Clay brought them back to the task at hand.

"Well, I got one last member of the family who could still pull through good," he smiled knowing he could always count on his old lady.

"Ma?" Jax asked and nodded along with Clay. Gemma Teller Morrow had a certain niche ability to coax information from the fairer sex it was probably the fact most of Charming was scared as shit of her, for good reason. Being the matriarch of the Sons of Anarchy didn't come by just organising lemonade stands and baking cookies.

Lenny walked the short distance across the lot from the Clubhouse to the Teller-Morrow automotive shop, it hardly changed at all except the naked models that were scattered across the garage wall had been updated with newer girls in less clothes than before. She knocked on the office door so as not to barge in on someone not expecting her, no reply came so she let herself in. Not bothering to close the door she headed for the keys hanging on the wall and grabbed them swinging them on her forefinger, she saw the phone on the desk and it reminded her she hadn't called Jen since she left nearly a week ago. Picking up the receiver she dialled the number from memory and didn't have to wait long before she heard Jens cheery hello.

"Hey doll!" Lenny was surprised at how much she had missed this girls voice.

"Lenny, Thank God I've been so worried. Your mom has been asking a ton of questions and the cops have been questioning some of the guys at the bar that night. I think some one knows," Jen had obviously been on edge since not hearing from Lenny as she was talking a million miles an hour.

"Jen, no one knows because nothing happened, right?! Remember what we said?" Lenny didn't go through all this for Jen to lose her shit and crack, she was the one who would be doing time if she fell apart. "Jen, I need you to get your shit together on this! Ours hands were forced,"

Jen began to sob "Lenny I haven't slept. I keep seeing his face, every time I see one of his gang I swear they know if was me," Jen couldn't sleep?! The girl had been so high throughout the whole thing she hadn't even known what had gone down until Lenny told her, she hadn't pulled the trigger, she hadn't driven with a dead body all cosy in the back of a stolen truck and she certainly hadn't had the plan to fake a crash that had blown the engine burning the evidence creating a fake crime scene.

"You need to seriously get a grip Jen! You don't breathe a word of this to anyone, I've left everything because of this! " Lenny jumped as she heard footsteps, "look I gotta go. I love you okay and remember, not a word!" Lenny threatened cutting the call quickly and grabbed her keys ready to leave.

"Little Lenny-Ray Sawyer," Lenny recognized the power house that was Gemma Teller Morrow blocking her exit. She hadn't changed either, Lenny had grown to love Gemma her summer in Charming, sure she had a side you didn't mess with but so long as you didn't upset her she seemed pretty cool. Gemma had even organized a few gigs for Lenny to perform at when she been at Bobby's. "Look what the cat dragged back,"

Lenny laughed as she shoved her hands in her pockets, she panicked as she wondered how much of the call Gemma may have heard. "Hey Gemma, I'm sorry bout just letting myself in, I just needed my keys. Clay said it'd be okay,"

Gemma walked into the office towards Lenny, "of course sweetie. So what's dragged your mass back to Charming?"

Trust Gemma to not beat around the bush, "You know I don't get on so great with my Mom, Gemma. I've just outgrown Arizona. Nothing ever happens for people like me there,"

"What ? People who go around causing their mom's trouble?" Gemma cut in, Lenny laughed out loud.

"Was I that bad?"

"No Lenny, I'm joking. That summer was good you were here, right? You fitted right in here in Charming just wondered why you left it so long between visits is all," Gemma sat a the disk with her book clad feet up lighting a cigarette and offering one to Lenny, who took it. "You seen Jax?" Gemma knew full well she had, she had seen their cosy encounter this morning as she parked the car and was pissed that Jax had left it to Clay to mention Lenny's arrival to her when she rolled up for work this morning.

"Yeah, they kinda rode in and saved me after a gig last night," she pulled her hair across so Gemma could see only to roll her eyes, "Opie told me about Jax's kid, Grandma,"

Gemma smiled a little, "Don't even ask Lenny, that situation is just all shades of fucked up but Abel is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. So you here singing?"

Lenny chewed her lip, "Actually Gem, Clay mentioned something about a job here at the shop,"

"Oh he did, well I'll to talk to him about that Lenny. Some crazy shit goes on here at Teller-Morrow and we gotta be careful about who we employ," Gemma was not one to mince her words but Lenny knew she was always protecting the Club.

"Gemma, I'm Bobby's niece, I know the kind of shit my Uncles wrapped up in and I love him in spite of that. He knows I'd never do anything to comprise his life with the Club and I guess I just need you to know that too. I think I proved that when I was 18 and I still stand by that, Bobby is my blood and what ever shit he's got going you can bet I'd stand right by him through it," Lenny didn't want to fight with Gemma, no one ever won with Gemma they just gave up trying and Lenny thought she had nothing else to say. "I'm gonna round to Bobby's and get my shit sorted, I'll see you later Gemma,"

Gemma sat back in the chair as she stubbed out her cigarette, Lenny sure was a little fire cracker she had forgotten just how much of a handful that girl had proved but Gemma had still had a little soft spot for her and she was sure now Lenny was a woman it would be no different but Clay was right, her story about why she was back was bullshit. Picking up the receiver Gemma did a redial and noted it was a call to Arizona, a young girl answered

"Hi it's Jen," Gemma killed the call, why would the kid be threatening her best friend from back home?
