When Trix came too, she heard a steady beeping and voices, but she kept her eyes shut and took stock of her injuries. No broken bones, definitely some bruises, a possibly the worst headache she had ever had. She keep herself from groaning, and immediately regretted it as it made all the voices around her stop. She heard Jax say "Trix?" and as much as she wanted to look at him, she couldn't bring herself to. She feigned being asleep and heard his sigh before the voices picked back up. She could distinguish between them now. Donna, Jax, Opie, her father, Gemma and Juice. Wow, there were alot of people in the room. "Jax, you have to believe them. They're doctors!" She heard Gemma say. "Why wouldn't she tell me? I have a right to know!" Jax said back. Trix found herself wondering what they were talking about. Jax sounded upset, which wasn't shocking when you thought about it. "Does it matter right now? She's ok! There is nothing to worry about." Donna. Trix smiled internally. "Trix is part of this family. she knows how important this information is going to be to us." A voice she hadn't heard yet spoke up. Clay. Crap. That couldn't be good. Then a soft voice cut through everyone else. "Ariel is safe. And we are going to wait to interrogate her. She needs to get better, or she is going to do what she does best, which is run. Understood?" She felt her heart swell at her dad's words. except for the last part, but she couldn't fault him, they were true. Jax sighed and moved over to Trix. He studied the woman laying in the bed.
"You need to wake up now baby. You can't leave me. Not like this. We are supposed to be together, and get married and have kids, and grandkids, and great-grandkids. We are supposed to grow old together, and you aren't supposed to die first!" Jax felt the burning behind his eyes, and for once didn't try to hold back the tears that wanted to fall. He knew that if she didn't wake up, his life was over. The ring he had bought right before she went missing was still burning a hole in his pocket. He needed her, and he wouldn't know what to do without her. He stood up, drying the last of the tears. He turned to look at the room. "Ope, come with me. We need to find a certain porn slut and have a conversation." Ope smiled, but it was sinister. "Right behind you bro." He walked over to Trix and bent down to kiss her temple. "Get better and come back to him Sparkplug. That man is nothing without you." Then he straightened up and followed Jax out of the room, followed closely by Donna. Both men turned around and looked at her. She stared them down. "You think I'm gonna sit here and let you guys have all the fun? She kidnapped me too. I'm coming with." Her and Jax looked at Ope, knowing that as her old man, he had final say as to whether she got to go or not. Donna seriously hoped that he wasn't gonna take this from her. Ope walked up to her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. "You get to come, but you do as I say. Understand?" He said, giving her a look that clearly said he wasn't kidding. She stared right back. "Only if I get to do something to her." She held up her hand when Opie opened his mouth. "I'm serious Ope. She kidnapped me and my best friend, or at the very least HAD us kidnapped, and beat senseless. My best friend is laying in a hospital bed, and the doctors don't know when she will wake up. I have to do SOMETHING." She sent him a pleading look, and he softened. "Okay. But let us handle it first, ok?" Donna nodded, satisfied that she would at least get a shot.
Jax walked into the studio, and Luanne saw him and ran over. "What are you doing here? Did you find Trix? Donna!" Jax couldn't help but chuckle at the woman, and he noticed Ima looked up at his laugh. He saw her smile when she saw him, but then her eyes narrowed on Donna, who was currently in a death hug from Luanne. "I'm so happy you're ok. We were so worried. Is Trix ok?" Donna nodded. "She's at the hospital. They don't know when she is going to wake up, but she is ok." Luanne nodded tearfully then walked back over to Jax and hugged him. "I'm so glad she's home and in one piece." Jax hugged her back and smiled. "We need to talk to Ima. Now." Luanne took one look at the three faces in front of her, and her happiness melted away, replaced by anger. "Ima!" She yelled. "You're needed. We'll uh, get back to your scenes later." She lowered her voice and added "Maybe." Jax looked back at Opie and Donna. "I'm gonna talk to her first. Lull her into a sense of security. Maybe she'll let something slip. If that doesn't work, you guys come n, and we'll let Donna talk to her, maybe then she'll feel, more talkative. If not, well..." He let the end of the sentence trail off, both Donna and Ope knowing what he meant by it.
Jax walked into Ima's dressing room. "Hey sexy. What made you come visit me at work?" She asked, strutting up to him. "Trix is missing." He said simply, forcing himself to stay calm as she curled around him. She faked a shocked look whilr running her hand up and down his cut. "Oh no! Do you have any leads?" She asked, cheering internally. "A couple." He said simply. Her eyes snapped up to his, and she tensed slightly, but relaxed when she apparently didn't see anything to be worried about in his eyes. At that point, Donna opened the door and strode in. "Hey Slut." Ima huffed and rolled her eyes. "Is there something you need help with, reject?" She said venomously. Donna smirked and nodded her head slowly. "You could tell me why you were in the van when I was dropped off from my kidnapping." She said levely, keeping her eyes on the woman who had her hands all over Jax. Ima scoffed. "I have no idea what you mean, and I'm pretty sure that you're delusional. So why don't you scurry off and leave me to Jax here?" Donna held her gaze, and the only warning of what she was about to do that Jax got was a narrowing of her eyes. She calmly reached into the back of her waistband and pulled her gun. She pointed it directly at Ima's face. Ima shrieked and tried to dive behind Jax, but he calmly stepped behind Donna. "I suggest you start talking. She's not playing around." He said. Ima's eyes widened and she sputtered. "I didn't want to do it, Jax. Really. Wendy came up to me and told me that she had a way to make you available again. After the asskickings she got from your old lady, I didn't really know what she meant, but I knew that I didn't want a part of it. I swear I wasn't involved at all." Ima looked at Jax pleadingly. Donna scoffed. "Then why were you in the van when I was brought back to the garage? And you better give the name of the man you were talking to also. I'm really running out of patience, and I will shoot you."
Ima swallowed heavily and took a deep breath. "Wendy called me again like two days later, and said she had a plan. I told her again that I didn't want to be a part of it, but she wouldn't listen to me. I didn't know what to do. She asked me to find out what I could about Trix's past. I told her no, but then she threatened me. She said that she would run to the club with some bullshit story about me being a rat, and that if I didn't help her, she would make sure I was killed! So I did what she wanted me to do. I found this guy, um...Sean, I think his name was, from Trix's past, and I gave Wendy the number. I sill maintained that I wanted nothing to do with the plan, and the only other time I heard from her was when she decided to let you go." She looked at Donna willing her to believe her. Donna looked shocked. "Sean?" She said lowly. Ima just nodded. "Do you fucking KNOW who Sean Taylor is?" She yelled, not waiting for the answer but turning around and running out of the room. Jax yelled after her, as did Opie, but she just ignored them and jumped on her bike.
Back at the hospital, Trix was finally out of bed, and she heard the door open. Since Gemma had said she was going to get Jax, Trix assumed it was Jax coming into her room. "Hey, what too-" Her sentence ended short when she saw who was actually standing in her room. "Sean." She said. He smirked at her. "Hello again Ariel."
