...Chapter 17...
...Meeting With The Club...

The jet landed in Sacramento, the next morning, and Lorenzo had rented a Chevy Tahoe for the squad to travel in, then Sasha drove to Charming. "So, Mission-Leader Rosco." Reid started. "How do you even know where we're supposed to be going?"

"Shit." she thought to herself, then shrugged. "I glanced at one of the maps."

"Yeah... uh-huh." he rolled his eyes. "Riiiiight."

"Look, Bossman put me in charge, so you're gonna listen to me, you got it?"

"You're such an asshole."

Reid glared at Rayne. "Blow me."

"Go to hell! You dumb son of a bitch!" she retorted, ready to stab him in the face.

"Fuck yo..."

"Alright, Ladies!" Sasha cut Reid off. "Argue on your own time, we got business to take care of."

"I concur." Declan nodded. "You two bicker like little bitches."

Sasha, Milo, and Carter laughed as Reid groaned, then Sasha turned on the radio to hear some music. "Okay, we're almost there."

Jax pulled into the parking lot of T - M and parked his truck, then went into the clubhouse. "Aye, Jackie Boy." Chibs nodded. "Where'd you come from?"

"Taking Abel and Jaden to school and Hannah to my moms."

"Hannah is gorgeous... you and Crys made a beautiful little girl."

"Thanks, Man." Jax smiled.

"So, how does Jaden feel around Juice's girlfriend?"

"Don't know." Jax shrugged. "He's hardly with Juice. He'll either be with me and Crys or Katie will watch him, or he'd be with Ope and Lyla."

Chibs shook his head. "Jaden needs his father."

"Yeah." Jax smacked Chibs on his shoulder. "Ready for church? Because apparently these guys we're meeting are good at what they do."

"Anything to get rid of Jimmy... once and for all."

"You know it." Jax nodded, then a few minutes later, Kozik walked in with his wife. "Hey, Rachel."

"Hey, Jax... Chibs." she smiled, then Chibs nodded.

Kozik gave her a quick kiss. "I got church, Baby... go help Crystal and Katie in the office."

"Okay." she nodded, then walked out.

Kozik turned his attention to Jax and Chibs. "So, who are we meeting with?"

"The solution to our Jimmy problem."

"Good." Kozik nodded.

Suddenly, Happy walked in with Juice. "They're here." both of them said, at the same time.

"Let's go meet them." Jax said, before walking out.

...

Sasha gripped the steering wheel, turning her knuckles white as she stared out the window, seeing Kozik, Happy, Jax, Chibs, and Juice waiting over by the door. "I can do this." she thought to herself. "I can do this."

"Hey, Boss."

Sasha snapped out of her thoughts and looked over at Carter. "Yeah?"

"You coming?"

"Yeah." she unbuckled her seatbelt, then adjusted her sunglasses, and grabbed the case file. "Come on."

...

All the guys watched four men and two women climbing out of the Tahoe, all suited up in all black fatigues and black combat boots. The girls had on tank tops, while the guys wore plain t-shirts, and all of them had bulletproof vests on.

"Holy shit." Juice smirked, checking out the two women. "Those two are the sexy version of Rambo."

"Yeah." Kozik laughed with a nod.

As the five of them walked closer to the guys, Jax spoke up. "Your boss Lorenzo, gave me a call and told me what you guys do, so which one of you is Sasha?"

"I am." she stepped forward. "I'm in charge."

"I didn't believe it when Lorenzo said his number two was a woman." he looked her up and down, then licked his lips. "But I can see why."

"Oh, God." Sasha thought, almost throwing up in her mouth, then slightly shook her head. "Look, we need to sit down with you and go over this plan, because we're doing this my way." out of the corner of her eye, she saw Juice giving her a funny look, but ignored it, and sighed. "We gonna go talk or what?"

"Follow us." Jax headed towards his bike. "We don't allow outsiders to our table, it don't matter who you are."

"Where are you going, Jax?" everyone stared at her as Jax stopped in his tracks, then he slowly turned around. "Fuck!" she thought, hoping he or anyone else didn't catch on.

"I never told you my name."

"Lorenzo told me who you are and that you're the President of this club." she paused. "Now, can we get the ball rolling, so we can get this job done?"

"Fine." Jax looked at Juice. "Church, now... get the club."

"Alright." he nodded, then walked away.

...

Within ten minutes, all the guys including Sasha's squad, was inside the chapel. Sasha noticed some new faces and Opie was sporting the V.P patch. She took a deep breath. "Okay, here's what's going to happen." she slid a few papers over to Jax. "Our satellites pin-pointed Jimmy O' Phalan and Father Kellan Ashby's location and we got some intel that they're meeting up with our target on a ship docked in Bermuda, and we'll let you know when this is happening, possibly in two days. From there, they'll head up, and drop off our target in Iceland, while Jimmy takes Father Kellan to Spain."

"Who's your target?"

Sasha looked at Jax. "I'm not at liberty to discuss that, but my team and I will be going undercover as the staff on the ship, while you guys stay out of sight in the lower decks."

Carter went into the folder and pulled out a few papers. "Here's the blueprint of the ship."

"Besides Jimmy O and Father Ashby." Opie started. "How many men is there?"

"Jimmy has about twenty men, while our target has up to fifteen, and I'm pretty sure all of the men are guarding these rare diamonds that were stolen at a silent auction in Rome, and that's what we're after, those diamonds." Sasha crossed her arms over her chest. "Look, I know you're all men and don't like taking orders from a woman... but I'm telling you now, that if you want this job done right, we have to work together, with no mistakes."

"Okay." Jax nodded. "You and your men need to step out so we can take a vote."

"Fair enough." Sasha headed to the door, but stopped in her tracks seeing Kozik with a wedding band on his finger. She felt Declan pushing her, so she kept on walking out the door. "Come on, guys." then all of them walked out of the chapel, closing the door after them. Sasha chuckled, reaching in her pocket, pulling out her pack of cigarettes. "I seriously need a smoke."

"You read my mind." Rayne laughed, then the six of them walked outside to the Tahoe, and waiting for an answer.

...

"Something's not right." Jax said, shaking his head, then looked at Juice. "Find out everything you can on Sasha."

"You got it." he opened up his laptop and turned it on. "What's her full name?"

Jax looked at one of the files. "It's Sasha Rosco."

"Okay, gimmie a minute." Juice typed away on the keyboard, then when he was done he spoke up. "She was born on Halloween of eighty-two in Oahu, Hawaii to Charlie and Gina Rosco. Moved to Chicago at age four. Moved to Boston at age ten. Has one brother Kenny, two sisters Kaitlin and Jamie. Joined the Air Force at eighteen, got out four years later. Joined the police academy at the age of twenty-two, and has been with her current job with Lorenzo since she was twenty-six." Juice paused. "That's pretty much it... oh, and her parents died in a car accident, back in ninety-nine."

"You sure that's all?"

"That's it." Juice shrugged, then he shut his laptop.

"No." Jax shook his head. "I know there's more... keep digging."

"Let me see what I can do." he opened it back up.

"So do we all agree? Go with this plan?"

"Aye." Chibs agreed. "Whatever it takes to get rid of that rat bastard."

...

Declan went up to Sasha, with a concerned look on his face. "Okay, out with it, Bosslady."

"Out with what?"

He rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "You know, I can always tell when there's something wrong with you."

Sasha moved her head away. "Not now, Declan."

"Well, then... tell me what's wrong. Why are you so tense?"

"I'm jet lagged."

"You sure that's the only reason?"

"Yes." she lied, giving him a fake smile.

"Okay." Declan nodded, then walked over to Milo, Carter, and Reid.

"Damn, Sasha." Rayne said, walking up to her. "Did you see all those hot guys in that room."

"There was a few." she chuckled, looking down, thinking about Juice. "Which ones are you talking about?"

"The mean looking one."

"Happy." she thought, then nodded. "Okay, who else?"

"The guy with the mohawk? Holy shit... the things I would do to that man. I'm definitely getting laid, before we leave from this town."

Sasha just glared at her, wanting to punch her in the eye for talking about Juice like that. Before she could respond, her phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and flipped it open. "Rosco."

"It's Lorenzo, what's the verdict?"

"Well, Bossman, they're talking it over, and when they're done, they'll come out and talk to us."

"Okay, Sasha, there's one more thing I want you to do."

"What is it?"

"Is anyone around you?"

Sasha walked fifteen feet away from Rayne. "Okay, nobody is around, what's up?"

"In Zobelle's office, on the ship... I want you to go into his desk and grab the wooden box, then bring it back to me."

"What's in it?"

"It's not important, just bring it to me, and keep it to yourself. The squad can't know about this."

"Um, alright."

"Sasha, it's very important."

"Okay, Bossman, I got it."

"Good... you bring it to me and you'll receive a huge bonus."

"You can count on me, Sir." she paused, seeing Jax and the guys walking out of the clubhouse. "Gotta go, I think they've made a decision."

"Okay, over and out." Lorenzo said, then hung up.

Sasha sighed, shoving her phone in her pocket, wondering what was in that box, then walked up with the squad, who was walking up to Jax. "So." she crossed her arms over her chest. "What'd you decide?"

"We'll do it." Jax nodded. "But on one condition."

"What is it?"

"Chibs is the one to kill Jimmy."

Sasha thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Deal, I'll let my boss know."

As she turned around and took her phone out of her pocket, Juice noticed something fall out of it. He went over and picked it up, holding it in the middle of his hand. About a minute later, the light bulb clicked on in his head, and he slowly looked up in Sasha's direction, with his eyes wide. "It couldn't be." he muttered, then as he was about to go over to her, his arm was pulled.

"You okay, Man." Kozik asked. "Looks like you seen a ghost."

"Nah." Juice quickly put his hands in his pocket. "I'm alright." he started walking away. "But I need to get on my laptop for a second." then he went back into the clubhouse.

A few minutes later, Sasha and her squad was saying goodbye to the guys. "If you have any questions, give us a call." she gave Jax a business card. "We'll be staying over at the Motel 6, by the highway."

"Thanks." Jax said, looking down at the card.

Juice ran out and went up to Sasha. "It was nice meeting you." he held out his hand.

"Like wise." she gave him a funny look, then shook it, feeling paper in between them. She grabbed a hold of it, without anyone noticing, and nodded at the guys. "We'll be in touch." she started walking away to the Tahoe. "Let's go." she ordered, then they got in, and she drove off.
