A/N: This is a little short. I wanted it a little longer. Well... Enjoy!

--Seven--

Roxanne got out of the shower ten minutes later. She dried off, put her hair in a pony tail, did her make up, then walked out wearing jeans, a white tank top, and white Vans. She grabbed her purse from the guest room, then her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"What's up... girl, how are you?" said the voice on the other line.

"Hey, Jade... what are you up to?"

"Nothing really. I just wanted to check up on you." Jade paused. "Can I call my best friend... just because?"

"Of course. I miss you."

"Yeah, it's pretty lame without you here. Have you seen your babys daddy yet?"

Roxanne laughed and said "Yep... and he's seen Kaitlin too."

"Is everything okay with that whole situation?"

"Yeah... everything is good. How are things over there?"

"That's the reason why I called." Roxanne didn't like the way that sounded in Jade's voice.

"What's going on, Jade?"

"Nobody knows where Anthony is."

"Yeah, he called me telling me he's going to try and take Katie from me."

"Roxanne... you need to be careful."

"I am Jade... I mean, I have Jax and all of the guys watching my back and protecting me, because they know all about him. I'm safe here."

"Okay... good." Jade paused. "Text me where you're at, I'm coming to visit."

"You are? Cool... you can surprise Kaitlin then."

"Alrighty... I'll see you later, Love ya."

"Love you too, Jade. Bye."

"Bye." then Roxanne hung up the phone, excited that her best friend from Phoenix, Arizona was coming to visit her. Her and Jade have been friends since she moved there and she's Kaitlin's Godmother. Roxanne quickly sent a text to Jade, the directions, then put her phone in her pocket, and walked into the livingroom where Jax was.

"Where you going?" asked Jax.

"I need to go to a drug store and get a few things for Kaitlin and myself." Roxanne said sitting on the couch next to Jax.

"I'll go with you."

"It's okay... I'll only be gone , like ten minutes at the most."

Jax had an unsure look on his face, then he nodded.

Roxanne went into the kitchen to tell Kaitlin and Gemma that she'd be right back, she gave Jax a kiss on his forehead, then got in her car, and drove off. She found a CVS and pulled into the parking lot. She had this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach that something didn't feel right. She got out of her car and hurried into the store. She ended up buying some allergy medicine for herself and Kaitlin. Then she got Jax's favorite candybar: Snickers. She knew he'd like it. Roxanne opened her car door, threw the bag on the passenger seat, then all of a sudden everything went black.

Jax was getting worried. Roxanne's been gone for over two hours. Him and Gemma would try and call her cell phone, but got nothing but voicemail. Jax put on his vest and he went up to Gemma.

"Can you keep an eye on Kaitlin?"

"Yeah... I'll watch her. Please find Rox."

"I am. Don't mention any of this to Kaitlin, I don't want her to get scared."

"Okay, Baby, I won't." Gemma gave Jax a kiss on the cheek. "Be careful."

He nodded, then as he went to grab the door knob, the door opened, and Clay, Tig, Juice, Chibs, and Bobby walked in.

"Where you going?" asked Clay.

"I need to find Rox."

"Where is she?" asked Bobby.

"She went to the store."

"Maybe she'll be back in a few minutes." said Tig, as he sat down on the couch.

"No... she's been gone for over two hours and I'm sure she went to the CVS up the street. Me and Ma have been calling her cell phone, but got nothing but voicemail."

The guys were in shock, then Clay said "We're going to split up and find her."

Jax nodded, looked at all the guys. and said "Kaitlin doesn't know what's going on, so nobody mention it to her... I don't want her to be scared."

The guys nodded in agreement, then alll of them walked out to their motorcycles and rode off in different directions.

Jax and Juice rode their bikes to the CVS and saw Roxanne's car. They pulled next to it and Jax jumped off. He saw one of her shoes under the car, the car door open, her cell phone on the floorboard, and the bag of the things she bought in the passenger seat.

Juice looked at the look on Jax's face and said "What is it?"

"She's gone. Her phone's here... someone took her." he paused to think. "Call everyone and tell them to meet at the clubhouse."

Juice nodded, pulled out his phone to call the guys, while Jax grabbed Roxanne's things, then shut and locked the door. After that, they rode over to the clubhouse waiting for everyone else to get there.

It was around eight pm. The guys had their meeting about trying to find Roxanne, plus keeping an eye on Gemma and Kaitlin.

Jax's phone started to ring. He looked at the caller id and growled. He pressed the talk button and said "Tara, not now."

"Jax... "

"No... now is not the time. I have things to do."

He was about to hang up on her, but she yelled "Wait!"

"What?!" he was kind of yelling.

"You need to come to the hospital."

"Why? Is Abel okay?"

"No, no. Abel's fine."

"Then, what is it?"

"Roxanne."

"I'll be right there." then he hung up his phone. He turned to look at the guys. "Rox is at the hospital. Let Gemma know, and watch my daughter." then he walked out of the clubhouse, go on his bike, and high tailed it to the hospital.

He got there as fast as he could and went into the ER. He went looking around, when Tara stopped him and said "Jax."

"Where is she?" he said impatiently.

"Before you go in and see her." She paused. "I have something to tell you."

"Don't sugar coat it. Just tell me."

She nodded and said "Someone found her laying in a ditch. She's been beaten badly."

"Anything else?"

"Well... she got blood her nails, so they are sending that to DNA, and..."

"And?"

"She has a concussion, bruises, and a broken wrist."

"Fine... can I see her now?"

Tara nodded and said "Follow me." they walked over to one of the doors. "She's right in here."

Jax put his hand on the handle and slowly walked in.
