...Chapter 5...

As Crystal and the Sons walked out into the parking lot, they saw Gemma holding Leslie back. Seconds later, Crystal was about to lunge towards her, but Jax grabbed her by the waist. "Let me go, Jax... what the hell are you doing?"

"Wait." he said, then all of them surrounded Gemma and Leslie.

"Clay." Gemma started, crossing her arms over her chest. "Your ex-wife over here... wants to see Nicole."

Clay got into Leslie's face. "You're not going anywhere near my daughter." he said, seething through his teeth. "Over my dead body."

"I'm sorry." she cried. "I was powerless to stop him, he said if I tried, then he'd..." she quickly covered her mouth from talking.

"He'd what exactly?"

Leslie shook her head, backing away from Clay a little bit, and looked at the ground. "Colin told me... he'd cut me off."

"Cut you off from what!" Juice demanded.

Leslie looked up at everyone and Clay, Gemma, Jax, and Crystal knew. All of a sudden Crystal ninja'd her way out of Jax's arms and socked Leslie in her face, knocking her to the ground. "How could you!" she yelled, hovering over her. "I hope you rot in hell, you junkie bitch!" before Crystal could hit Leslie again; Happy, Tig, and Opie had to pull her away so she wouldn't do anymore damage.

"Where's that dickhead, Colin?" Clay asked, as he hovered over Leslie.

"He... he's already here." she paused, sobbing. "He wants... Nicole." then her eyes wondered over to the hospital doors. Seconds later, Juice's eyes widened, then he hightailed it back to Nicole's room with Jax, Happy, and Chibs behind him.

"I wonder what's going on?" Katie asked, looking out the window.

"I don't know." Half Sack shrugged. "But it looks like something is going down."

"And we're stuck up here?"

"Yeah." he nodded. "Orders."

"Sack?"

He turned to look at her and said "Yeah?"

"Does it suck being a Prospect?"

"Nah." he waved his arm. "It's okay."

Katie laughed, then suddenly she stopped when she saw Nicole's eyes blinking. "Oh, my God, Nic!"

"What?" Half Sack looked over, then got on the other side of the bed.

"Jax..." Nicole whispered.

"Hold on, I'll go get him." Katie smiled, then as she was about to walk out, someone walked in.

"Hey Man." Half Sack protectively stood in front of Nicole's bed, pulling Katie behind him. "Nobody is supposed to be in here."

"But I'm a doctor."

"You're not Nic's doctor." Katie shook her head.

"Yeah, but 'Nic' knows me... very well."

At the sound of the man's voice, Nicole started to panic. "No... no, please, no." she whimpered.

Both Katie and Half Sack's eyes widened, then he smirked as he started to move forward. "You fucking move any closer to my sister, Asshole... and I'll blow your fucking brains out."

"Jax..." Nicole breathed out, with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm here, Nicky."

"Hey... I'm a doctor."

"No, you're not, Colin." Jax said, digging his gun into Colin's temple. "This is what's gonna happen, we'll be walking out of here, nice and easy."

"And if I don't?"

Jax chuckled. "Well, then... I have no problems splattering your brains all over the place."

Colin slowly turned around seeing all the guys holding up their guns at him. "Let's go." ordered Happy.

Then Colin turned around and smirked at Nicole. "It was fun while it lasted, Princess."

All of a sudden, Juice took his gun, and knocked Colin in the face. "You, shut the fuck up, and let's go!"

"Katie... I'll have someone come up here."

"Okay, Jax." she nodded, then the guys and Colin quietly walked out of the room. Katie went to Nicole's bedside. "Nic, are you okay?" she slowly nodded as the tears were falling down her cheeks, then Katie carefully gave her a hug. "Shh... it's okay, Nic."

"Clay!" Jax yelled, then Clay turned around and his blood started boiling. As him and the rest of the guys were walking up, Jax and Happy was stuffing Colin in the trunk of Katie's car. "Where's Leslie?" Jax asked, looking around.

"Your mother and Crystal has her... is that son of a bitch in the trunk?"

"Yeah." Jax nodded. "He tried going after Nicole, but we stopped him."

"Good... good." Clay nodded.

"What do you want done with Colin?"

"I feel like taking a trip up north." Clay smirked.

Jax nodded. "Okay, but first..."

"What is it?"

"Nicole's awake."

"She is?" Jax nodded again. "Tig, Ope, and Bobby... take Katie's car to the clubhouse and strap that motherfucker down till we get there."

"You got it, Clay." Tig nodded, then as they got into the car; Clay, Jax, Juice, Happy, and Chibs went back up to Nicole's room.

"Whoa." Katie shook her head. "That was intense.

"Where's Jax?" Nicole asked, for the third time.

"He should be back soon." Katie said, playing with Nicole's hair.

"I want Jax." she cried, then closed her eyes.

Minutes later, the guys walked in the room, then Clay, Jax, and Juice rushed to her side. "Nicole?"

She slowly opened her eyes and looked over, with tears rolling down her face. "I'm so sorry, Daddy... it's all my fault."

"No, no... none of this is your fault, okay?" he paused. "None of it."

She nodded, then looked at Jax. "Please stay with me?"

He grabbed her hand and gave a light squeeze. "I will, when I get back... I promise." she just nodded, again, then closed her eyes. She was back to sleep within five minutes. All the guys and Katie walked out in the hallway. Jax noticed the look on Juice's face. "What's up with you?"

"Nic didn't even acknowledge that I was there. I mean, she didn't even look at me."

"Relax, she just woke up... it's probably nothing."

"Hey Jax?"

"Yeah, Katie?"

"Nic's been asking for you, it was the first words that came out of her mouth... why is that?"

"Because whenever she was scared, if it was a bad dream, thunder storm, scared because of an earthquake, or just anything... she'd always be with me. I was the 'big brother' and protector." he shrugged. "And her being around me, seemed to calm her down."

"Ah." Katie nodded. "Okay, I see why she asked for you first then... she's terrified out of her mind."

Jax nodded too, then looked at her. "We're borrowing your car and we something to take care of, keep an eye on my sister."

"I don't care about the car, but I'll watch her." she smiled, then as she walked back into Nicole's room, the guys left the hospital.

"Is there such thing as a 'Woman of Mayhem' patch?"

Gemma chuckled. "Crys... you did nothing wrong. We gave Leslie a choice and of course, since she was itchin' to get some more, she took the pussy way out, and she just... happened to O.D." she paused. "Leslie brought this on herself and all she cared about was her 'fix' than her own flesh and blood, you saw her... she had to have it."

"You're right." Crystal nodded.

"Don't feel bad for that junkie bitch, she deserved it." Crystal just nodded, then looked back out the window. "And if you're worried about this coming back on you... it won't, all right? Your hands are clean."

"Okay." then Crystal's phone buzzed with a text message. She took it out of her pocket and read it. "Holy shit!"

"What?"

"I got a text from Juice and Nic's awake."

"That's good news." Gemma smiled. "I'm so glad... and we're almost back at the hospital."
