When Jamie got to TM, there sitting in the garage doing nothing.
"Why was I needed?"
"Thought we had more to do. Sorry," Jax shook his head. "How you feel?"
"Like I look."
"Ya look like hell," Chibs nodded.
"Smartass." Jamie let Happy lift her into his lap. "So when do they get back?"
"Hopefully soon."
"Left about two hours ago," Chibs nodded, sipping his coffee.
Jamie stood when Happy pushed her off. "Gotta run to the store," he nodded, waving before leaving.
Jamie gave a slow nod and took the coffee a sweetbutt offered her. "We got a new girl?" She frowned when she heard questions only a new sweetbutt would ask.
"Yeah. Showed up the other day."
"Nice girl, just stupid," Chibs laughed at Jamie's next project.
"She'd be Juice's Old Lady."
They sat there laughing for a bit before her phone went off.
"Yeah?"
"Jamie," Happy sounded breathless. "Get everyone you can. Tig and Juice are fucked up."
"What?"
"Mayans!"
"Ok, ok. Where?"
"Route 9 and 22."
Jamie hung up and stood up. "Mayans got the boys."
"Van," Chibs jogged off.
As they pulled up to the intersection, Jamie could see three down bikes and Happy's away a bit. He was bent over Tig, one in Tig's and the other in Juice's. She ran up and started to tend to Tig.
"Hey, Tigger," she breathed as she pulled his sweatshirt off and saw the kevlar vest. Thank God. Her fingers worked it off and she saw two stray bullets in his hip. "Looks like most of the damage is from the fall."
"Juicy's got a bullet in his thigh and a good slash on his arm. But more from the fall than anything," Chibs nodded.
They loaded the boys into the van but Jamie thought of something before they left.
"Opie?"
Happy's gaze fell as Chibs, Jax and Jamie turned to him. "Behind my bike…"
She felt tears in her eyes and she shook her head. "No..no he can't be."
"In the head…and crashed…"
Jamie turned into Jax's chest as they both began to cry. Chibs crouched down and slid his hands into his hair. Only Tig groaning snapped them back to reality.
"We need the flat bed…call the medics," Jax spoke while brushing his tears away. Jamie called Bobby for the flat bed and Chibs the medics.
"Come on-"
"I'm staying." Jamie shook her head.
"Jamie," Hpapy began but it was a lost battle.
"I'll stay too," Jax nodded.
"Then I'll follow Chibs," Happy sighed.
"Just..take my bike," Jax offered so Happy wouldn't have to move his bike.
When the boys had left, the siblings walked over to Opie's body. He lay in a mangled heap literally right behind Happy's bike.
"Oh Opie…" Jamie whispered as she reached down to touch his shoulder. Jax sat beside her before he carefully took Opie's cut. Her friend was gone, killed like his wife on the road. His kids had no parents now, they'd go to other family but they were orphans. The club lost their VP and one of the best members they had ever had. They lost a family member. Opie had done nothing but protect the club and its members. He had kept Jamie safe so many times, slept with her sprawled across his chest while she was sick. Now…now he was gone. The paramedics came, followed shortly by a teary-eyed Bobby. He hugged the siblings tightly before they loaded up the bikes.
Jamie and Jax rode behind the truck all the way to TM. The boys were waiting in the clubhouse to give hugs, kisses, to cry together. Now was the time they were allowed to crumble.
Happy stayed stone faced, holding Jamie tightly as she cried.
Chibs rolled in two hours later, walking in with a heavy sigh.
"They're ok. Beat up but ok…no visitors." He wrapped his arms around Jamie when she walked over, glad for the comfort.
Jamie and Jax decided they would break the news to the injured pair. Luckily they were in the same room so Jamie sat on Juice's bed, Jax on Tig's.
"Opie…" Jamie started but she didn't have to finish. Juice's head fell and Tig looked away.
"Instantly," Jax nodded, watching his sister hug Juice. Then she went to Tig.
"We'll be out for the funeral?" Tig asked softly and Jax just nodded.
"Come on, Jax," Jamie tugged his arm softly.
After the funeral they returned to the clubhouse before Jamie and Happy went home. They went right to bed, Jamie needing a nap after the emotional day. She had drifted off when she felt Happy begin to shake. She looked up to see him actually crying. For the first time he was normal and Jamie was witnessing it. She sat up and pulled him to her, letting him wrap his arms around her waist and bury his head in her stomach. Her heart was breaking seeingher Old Man like this. Finally the weight was too much to bear for them. He had broken.
"Chibs," Jax said softly as they sat around the table. "Tig turned it down."
Chibs looked at the VP patch then to Tig who nodded. "Yes, brotha."
"Tig, Hap turned down the position. I'd be honored to have you as my Sergeant at Arms again."
Tig stared at the patch for a long few moments. "Happy…" he looked over at his brother. "You deserve this."
"I don't want it," he shook his head.
"Then Jamie."
"I can't, Tig. I'm not a member."
Tig sighed before nodding. "Yeah."
Jax nodded and dropped the gavel. "We're not done. Now we gotta handle Alvarez."
"I say we go down to his clubhouse and place three bullets between his eyes," Jamie growled. "And then kill each and every one of his stupid wetback pieces of shit."
The boys just stared at her before Jax smirked.
"Let's go."
