An hour later as Clay and the others were about to step in to Church , Happy stomped back into the club and went to grab a beer. "Glad to see you finally decided to join us." Happy just grunted in response, grabbed his beer, and followed the others in.

"Hap, any idea why Tacoma is sending your girl down?"

Happy leaned forward, his eyes blazing, "None, better be damn good or I'll have his head."

"Hey," Clay pointed at him angrily, "Knock it off. He's still a charter president and a member of this club. Don't matter how pissed you are, show some respect." Happy nodded, then got up and walked out without saying a word.

"Treasury?"

Bobby answered, "The warehouse fire has cost us. We had to tack on another fifty thou, for the additional renovations and equipment. We're going to need additional funds soon. Otherwise, run fund is paid up and bar is stocked for the next month…" SAMCRO continued the meeting, going over all the business to date. When they adjourned Clay asked Bobby and Jax to stay behind.

As Bobby closed the doors, Clay looked at Jax expectantly, "Any idea why Hap's old lady is coming down?"

"Tacoma's Pres said its too important to talk about on the prepaid. But this girl's got to talk to you ASAP."

"We know anything about her?" Clay asked..

"Tacoma boys didn't give much info. Name's Katherine Smith, goes by Kate. In her late 20's. Blonde hair, blue eyes, nice rack and ass. Don't know much else. My guess is Happy's a little private about all that."

Clay and the others stood up and headed for the door. "Get Juice on it, see what we can dig up before our guest gets here."

Bobby who'd been silent, just laughed. "How many Katherine Smiths you think there are out there? He's gonna need more time than that. Besides how do you think Hap would take it? Knowing we were looking into his girl."

"Let's make sure he doesn't find out then." With that Clay walked out to enjoy the usual Friday night festivities.

The party was in full swing when they pulled up to Teller-Morrow. Kate closed her eyes for a moment and sighed. She was exhausted, they had driven straight through barely stopping. With traffic it had taken them nearly fifteen hours to get there. Kate was looking forward to a shower and some sleep. Hopefully she'd be sharing that bed, if Hap wasn't too pissed at her.

As Kate got out of the truck she saw several of the SAMCRO boys standing around a boxing ring egging two opponents on. Not waiting for her two escorts, she went to check out the two competitors but didn't recognize either, not that she knew many of the members outside of Washington. She leaned back against the wall of the clubhouse, smiling when she realized the skinny kid was beating the other guy, who was twice his size, to a pulp. Loki caught up to her, grabbing her arm lightly. "Sorry darlin but the boss said we don't leave your side. Ever."

"Who the hell would be stupid enough to grab me here at the Mother Charter of all places?"

Tank looked at her nervously, "Come on Kate, you know we're like the military, we have a don't ask, don't tell policy."

Kate turned to look at him and smirked. "Tank, does that mean you're…," as she was turning back around she saw a flash of someone familiar out of the corner of her eye. Happy was on the other side of the ring, with some little sweetbutt in his lap. Or he had a sweetbutt in his lap, until he saw Kate and stood up abruptly and the tramp landed on the ground obviously pissed. Kate looked at Loki, "I think now is the time you find somewhere else to be."

"Kate I already told you…"

"Hap's seen us, maybe saw you grab my arm. He's coming."

"Oh shit. I like life."

She turned back, just in time to see Happy coming full force at Loki, punching and then pushing him out of his way. Happy grabbed her and slammed her back against the wall, roughly. He was in her face, furious. She winced but her eyes darkened and she wrapped her legs around his waist. "Hey Baby. Missed you too." They stared at each other until Happy leaned forward and kissed her roughly, showing his ownership. After a few minutes in this position and with Kate rubbing against his obvious desire, Hap seemed to remember where they were and realized that they had drawn a crowd. He looked her over darkly, "We talk, as soon as you're done with Clay." With that he let her go, letting her slide down his body so she could feel all of him.

Kate was pissed and a little wound up. "K, we gonna talk about the little mama you were making friends with back there?" Hap looked at her and gave her a half smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Later." "Loki don't touch her, ever." With that he walked into the clubhouse.
