Charlotte's POV

I left the bar to go get ready and tell David about my luck getting a job on the first try. I arrived at his house only to find his Jeep gone. He must be on the job I thought to myself. I quickly sent him a text to let him know that I had a job and would be home much later tonight. I let myself into his house and to my room. It still felt weird to be living in someone else's home.

I quickly showered and got ready for my first night at work. I decided to put on a black racerback tank top and tight dark skinny jeans before pulling on my favorite ankle boots that had a slight heel. I curled my blonde hair that fell mid back and pinned part of it back to keep it out of my face before applying some light makeup. I checked the time before looking at myself in the mirror one last time.

I hurried to the bar, which was ironically named the Dirty Pig, to get acquainted with where everything was before the night rush came in. I smiled at Ern and John (other bartender) before checking out where everything was. I was honestly just happy that I had a job, no matter how weird the guys who worked there were or how offensive their tattoos were. I learned quickly that the men who frequented the bar were all friends of the owner; they all had the same tattoos. I also learned that this bar had opened recently and Ern was just out of prison.

About midway through my shift, I heard the roar of motorcycles in front of the bar. The door swung open and a bunch of guys wearing leather vests walked in. Ern and his four friends stopped what they were saying to glare at the men as sat down at the bar. I fidgeted with the glass I was holding as Mr. Z (the owner of the bar) walked out from the back room. He noticed the tension in the room and said to Ern, "Let's all relax, it's a free country, the Sons can drink here as long as they're paying."

By this point I was thoroughly confused but before I could figure it out one of the men in leather, with blonde hair and a VP patch spoke "Darlin' can we get some beers?" I nodded towards the group as I grabbed ten beers for them and smiled as I put them in front of each man. The same man paid for all of the beers as they drank them in near silence and watched Ern and his friends. I was concerned but nothing happened within the hour they were sitting there.

After the leather clad men left, one of Ern's friends came over. He introduced himself as AJ. "Hey can I get another round for our table?" I simply nodded and fixed them all new drinks. He smiled at me suggestively and looked me over in a manner that was a little unnerving. He winked at me and took the drinks back to the table.

I told John that I was going to take a break and went out the side door to the alley next to the bar. I shivered in the cool night air as I thought about the men in the leather and how you could have cut the tension in the room with a butter knife. I pulled out a cigarette from my pocket, I hardly ever smoked but I had a few for extreme circumstances. As I lit the cigarette, I heard the door to the bar behind me open. I turned quickly to see AJ behind me. The look in his eyes should have made me run, but I tried to stay calm.

"Um... Can I help you?" I asked meekly.

He didn't answer as he took a few steps towards me. Before I could say anything else, SMACK! I cried out as I held my right cheek. I turned back to him, shocked and worried. I tried to backpedal but ran into the wall of the building next door.

Kozik's POV

Jax and Clay decided to go and check out this new bar in downtown that Darby had supposedly just opened up. Of course they decided to take the ten best guys from SAMCRO just in case anything went down. We went over there to make sure it wasn't a front for the Nords selling any crank or pussy.

When we got there it was around 10pm and there weren't many cars outside. We walked in and noticed that Darby was sitting with AJ Weston and a couple other guys with Nords tats. I was a little nervous that things would get violent, not just between the Sons and Nords but between Tig and myself. He's still mad at me for what happened eight years ago.

Jax ordered us all beers from the girl behind the bar. She seemed slightly out of place being in the same room with Darby and his crew. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, normally a chick wouldn't distract me from the task at hand but there was something about her. Her dark blue eyes, blonde hair, and of course her body was very attractive. I kept wondering what it was about her that kept me staring as I sat back and took a drink.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Ethan Zobelle's voice. Of course he'd be here with Darby. After a while, some of the other guys were getting restless and it was pretty obvious nothing was going to happen while we were all sitting here.

Clay and Jax led the way as we all filed out. They decided that some of us would stay put outside the bar to monitor the situation while others went satisfied their needs. Happy, Chibs, Juice, Half Sack, and me stayed put while Tig, Jax, Clay, Bobby, and Opie went back to the clubhouse. We just sat on or stood by our bikes observing the lack of events going on at the Dirty Pig, until we heard something that sounded like a woman screaming in pain.

Charlotte's POV

I felt myself pressed against the wall next to a dumpster. I was cornered. He kept walking towards me. He stood in front of me and leaned into me, smashing his lips against mine, his hand groping my body. I struggled and tried to push him away from me. This angered him to the point that he reared back and threw his fist as hard as he could into my face. I screamed in pain as the force of the punch knocked me onto the ground. As I lay on the ground, he started to beat me. Knowing that fighting back only makes things worse, I stopped trying to make him stop, I could only hope that I would survive.

AJ started to kick me in the stomach and chest, before punching my face again; the pain alone was enough to make me pass out. Then he started to rip at my clothes, I tried to push his hands away but I was fighting him and the blackness that was inevitable. He managed to get my pants down to my knees and my tank top torn nearly off before someone pulled him off of me and I passed out.

Kozik's POV

We heard the scream again, which caused us all to jump up and race towards the noise. We saw AJ Weston kneeling over something near the dumpster. I saw heels on the shoes that were attached to a woman that he had under him.

"Shit! It's the bartender!" Juice breathed as we all ran to the end of the ally towards Weston.

I got there first and barreled into him to knock him off of the girl. Half Sack, Juice, and Happy quickly subdued AJ while Chibs and I checked on the girl. Her clothes were torn and she was nearly naked, but the damage done to her was worse than that.

Happy started punching AJ while Half Sack and Juice made sure no one else came out of the bar. At that moment, the girl woke up and saw strange men over her causing her to scream again.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"

She was freaking out and there was nothing Chibs or I could do. I noticed her start to pass out again when the sound of sirens filled the air and flashing lights lit up the alley.

David's POV

I had been planning on driving by the bar to check on Charlotte when I spotted some of the Sons of Anarchy in a fight. I quickly flipped on my lights and siren and screeched into the alley. I jumped out of the Jeep and looked at all the guys. Juice, Half Sack, and Happy were standing over a man who looked like the bloody mess of AJ Weston. Chibs and Kozik were kneeling over someone. I walked closer and looked at the person.

"Oh my god, Charlotte!" I yelled in shock before getting on my radio and calling in for an ambulance. I yelled for one of the guys to grab the blanket out of my truck. Half Sack retrieved the blanket and brought it back to me.

"How do you know the lassie?" Chibs asked me.

"She's like a sister to me. She just moved into my guest room." I stated as I covered up Charlotte's body with the blanket. I prayed that the ambulance would be there soon. "Stay here." I said to Chibs, the Sons resident medic.

I got up and walked over to Juice and Happy. "Did this guy do that to her?" With nods from both of the Sons, I grabbed the handcuffs and put them on AJ. "Make sure he doesn't run." I growled out as I stood.

Five minutes later, the ambulance and patrol car pulled up. I quickly caught them up as the paramedics rushed over to Charlotte and the police officers grabbed AJ to throw him in the back of the patrol car.

I had to go back to the station to make sure that AJ was charged with the assault and not released like he was when Gemma Teller was raped. As I turned to the Sons, I saw a piece of paper on the ground near where Charlotte was. I bent down and picked it up. I opened it and saw it was the letter from Charlotte's mom.

The Sons heard me gasp as I read the letter and quickly folded it and put it in my pocket. I finally spoke, "You NEED to follow her. This could be retaliation and she IS in danger. I'll meet you guys at the hospital as soon as I can." Pointing to Juice and Happy I said, "I need one of you to come give a statement."

I started to take off towards my Jeep, when Chibs grabbed my arm. "What do you mean? What did the paper say?"

I shook my head, knowing Charlotte would be upset with me for reading the letter and for spilling her secret. "She's a Sons daughter." I said quietly. "I can't tell you more now, just promise me she will be looked after? She's been through so much already…"

Chibs, Happy, and Kozik nodded, assuring me that Charlotte would be safe. Juice and Half Sack followed the cop cars to the station while the rest followed the ambulance.

Kozik's POV

The whole ride to St. Thomas I couldn't shake the thoughts and feelings I was having about this girl. I was angered that the Nords had hurt this beautiful girl. I was also worried that she wouldn't recover from the injuries and I wouldn't be able to get to know her.
