Lorca tensed and hissed "What do you mean someone put a contract out on Dee, Ian?!"

Ian sighed and shook his head. "Intelligence got the word two days ago that a contract had been put out on Dee. As soon as I got word I hopped on a plane and came straight here. Colby only got word about it this morning and by that time I was already walking into his office. Now that Don knows that both Colby and I still work for the CIA when they need us it was a hell of a lot easier to get Colby some time off so that we could come here and set up shot. However we are not the only ones that will be here. The Director has ordered two more men out here but they won't be here until this evening. Dee is to go nowhere unprotected at all times and whatever car or bike she is driving is to be checked for bombs before she even gets in the car or on the bike. Don will also be coming down so that he can help protect Dee. He is leaving Megan and David in charge but he is bringing Charlie, Liz, and Alan with him."

Dee swore. "I will NOT have MY life interrupted because some asshole has put a hit out on me. I have to take care of things before Friday. You can follow me around all you want but I will NOT hide away like some little scared girl. I've dealt with threats before and I will deal with them again!"

Colby smirked. "We figured that you wouldn't hide away, Sis, and we are not expecting you too. However you will listen to what Ian, Lorca, and I say when it comes to your safety. I know better than most just how unafraid you are but that doesn't mean that something can't and won't happen to you, Dee."

Dee sighed but nodded. "Fine. I'm going back inside and up to my room. I want to be left alone for a few minutes. Plus I need to check my e-mail again to see if our distributors have gotten back to me yet about when they will be delivering the alcohol."

Colby, Ian, and Lorca all nodded and watched in silence as Dee stomped away from them and into the house. They all heard the others ask her if she was alright but they didn't hear her reply and looked at one another and then led the way inside with Jax and Happy both following them.

As soon as they were inside Lorca said "Everyone needs to move into the living room so that we can talk."

Emma looked at Lorca and then at Colby and Ian with narrowed eyes. "What has happened? What is wrong with Dee?"

Colby shook his head as he sighed. "We will tell you here in a minute, Em. Please just go into the living room for now. There is no sense in having to go over everything more than once."

Emma sighed but nodded and led the way into the living room where Juice was putting his tools up from where he had just finished putting the Entertainment center together and hooked everything up. She sat down on one of the couches and waited for Jax, Happy, Tig, Clay, Chibs, Bobby, Opie, Koz, Donut, Piney, Half Sack, Juice, Quinn, and Pitt all sat down. She then looked Colby in the eyes as she snarled "Now what in the hell has happened, Colby?"

Colby sighed but it was Ian who said "Intelligence got word two days ago that a contract has been put out on Dee. I told her right before she came inside."

Emma swore and ran a hand through her hair. "Jesus Christ, Ian! Couldn't you have waited until after we all caught up before you sprung this on her, Ian? She has just stopped looking over her shoulder all the time because of her ex!"

Ian ran a hand down his face. "I couldn't keep it from her, Emma. You know damn well she can read me like a book. She has been able to ever since we got together almost four years ago. She knew the second I got out of the car that something was wrong. I know better than to lie to her or to try to hide something from her. Do you remember the last time one of us hid something from her? Do you want her wrath aimed at you?"

Emma shook her head and groaned. "No I don't but I also don't want to see her jumping at damn shadows again. I know it was you that ordered her ex to be dealt with, Ian. I also know that one of your friends did deal with him and so does Dee. We both love you, Ian, and you know that. But you are going to be the one having to deal with making sure that Dee doesn't try to escape any guard put on her. At least for the next three days we won't have to worry about her trying to ditch any of us because we have too much shit that needs to be dealt with."

Lorca smirked. "She won't try to ditch any of us because we already told her that we wouldn't stop her from doing anything she wants to do as long as she takes one of us with her. As long as we don't try to stop her from doing what she wants or needs to do she will let one of us be with her at all times when she steps out of this house. We have no way of knowing just what and who we are dealing with yet so Koz, Donut, Quinn, Pitt, and I will be staying a little longer than we had planned on."

Jax nodded from where he was seated next to Emma on the couch. "Anything SAMCRO can do to help let me know, Lorca. What all can you tell us about the contract that has been put out on Dee?"

Ian sighed. "Right now we don't have much information to go on other than what I have already been told. An informant went to a fellow Agent and told him what he had heard and so far the only thing we have been able to do is confirm that a contract has been put out on Dee. The Director has several Agents looking into it and gathering any information that we can use but until we find where the threat is coming from around the clock security will be provided for Dee and Emma both. We can't be sure that whoever put the hit out on Dee won't have whoever carries it out go after Emma just so that they can't get to Dee."

Koz's eyes hardened. "Nobody is getting anywhere near Emma or Dee if I have anything to say about it. Jesus Christ this is gonna be a cluster fuck and a half."

Quinn snorted. "I have no doubt about that but we'll do what we have always done and keep our girls safe. This isn't the first time a contract has been put out on Dee and it won't be the last time one is put out on her."

Lorca nodded. "That is the damn truth. We'll just do what we always do and close ranks around her while we let her do what she has to do. She has shit she has to do today and then she plans to deal with some shit tomorrow night as well. And finally we have the club opening on Friday. If I were to take a guess I would say that is probably when whoever is trying to fulfill the contract will try to do it. They will want to do it when it is crowded and busy so that they can get away without getting caught."

Ian nodded. "That is my guess as well. Which means we will have our work cut out for us Friday evening on making sure that Dee stays safe."

Everyone nodded and as Dee walked into the living room and said "Happy, Lorca, Ian, Quinn, and Tig can stay on my ass Friday night but I refuse to even put any breaks on the plan that Emma and I have come up with for that night. I will wear a Kevlar vest under my outfit but that is as far as I will go in making changes on what I plan to wear. Colby, Jax, Koz, Donut, Blade, and Juice can stay on Emma's ass Friday night while all the other Sons that are coming take up points around the entire club. I WILL still be dealing with Weston Thursday night as well as Stahl. I don't fucking care who has to tag along but those two will be dealt with once and for all."

Lorca nodded. "Jax has already gave the okay for Happy to back you up but I'll go along with you and bring Tig along for the ride."

Tig raised an eyebrow but said "Hell yeah."

Dee shook her head and chuckled and sat down on Lorca's lap but before she could say anything Opie spoke up and said "I thought Dee was with Ian? If so why is she sitting on Lorca's lap?"

Dee looked at Opie with a raised eyebrow before she turned her head to look at Ian who was laughing his ass off. "Did you forget to tell them that we broke up six months after we started dating, Ian? Did you also forget to mention that I now only sleep with you when I decide I want dick but don't want to put the energy into a relationship?"

Ian finally stopped laughing and smirked as he looked at Dee and then all of the others who were looking between him and Dee except for Lorca, Quinn, Koz, Donut, and Colby. "Dee and I were only together for six months. Now a days we sleep with one another only when we are in between relationships or we are just horny. I'm normally out of the country or all over the United States so we don't expect anything of each other. We both know that we are very good friends and that is all we will ever be. Besides I swing both ways so I would never be able to be with just Dee and Dee alone."

Dee rolled her eyes and snickered as Colby said "Trust me you don't want to understand their relationship with one another. To me it is more like incest because most of the time Ian treats Dee like she is his sister. Although it is quite comical when people actually think they are related in some way and the kiss one another. I gave up on trying to talk sense into both of them a long ass time ago."

Quinn chuckled. "Well at least we know who she is sleeping with, Colby. It's better than the time you and I walked in on her and some guy we didn't know because she never told us about him and we ended up beating the shit out of the guy. Besides most of us know what Dee's type is so my guess is she ain't gonna be single for long."

Emma chuckled and smirked. "Oh I think she'll make him work for it."

Koz lifted an eyebrow and smirked. "You mean like you will make the guy you like work for it, Em? Don't forget I know your type as does Lorca, Ian, Colby, Donut, Pitt, and Quinn. It won't be long before you have him in your bed."

Clay shook his head. "This is going to be fun to watch."

Lorca nodded and tightened his arms around Dee. "Clay, it will be a trip to watch. Every second of the day with Dee and Emma can be an adventure if you are with them."

Dee and Emma both chuckled and smirked and then settled in and let the conversation flow around them while each of the two girls made plans in their heads for the guys that they liked respectively.
