As soon as they walked inside the club house Gemma's eyes zeroed in on Clay and she guided Liberty over to him. "Clay I want you to meet Liberty Roberts."

Clay's eyebrows rose and then his mouth dropped open in shock before finally chuckling as Liberty threw herself into his arms. "I told you that I would see you again Baby Girl. How are you doing?"

Gemma looked from Clay to the girl in his arms and said "I take it you two know each other?"

Liberty blushed which made Clay chuckle again "Of course I know Lib, baby. I met her when Michael and I went to San Diego five years back or so."

Gemma smiled and said "So this is the little girl that you couldn't quit talking about for months. I knew that her name sounded familiar to me besides the fact that her Uncle was Michael but I couldn't remember where else I had heard her name."

Clay nodded and looked at Gemma and then back at Liberty. "What brings you to Charming, Baby Girl?"

Liberty looked down at the ground and said "I had to get Mom and my sisters away from the guy Mom was seeing. Not only was he beating on Mom but he was touching my sisters."

A hard look came into Clay's eyes but he gently lifted Liberty's eyes up to his and said "Did he touch you Baby Girl?"

Liberty shook her head. "He didn't touch me in the way you're thinking Uncle Clay. However when he found out I was moving Mom and my sisters he beat the shit out of me. Unlike Mom I pressed charges on his ass and had him thrown in jail. I made sure we left while he was waiting for his hearing in jail. I'm pretty sure I covered all of our tracks when we moved."

Clay nodded. "Okay Baby Girl but later we'll talk about this. So why are you here at TM?"

Liberty smiled. "I applied for the job and Gemma hired me. Someone has to work to pay the bills because as much as I love my Mom I know that she isn't going to help in any way. As it is I had to walk here and my side is killing me. I sustained broken ribs from Richard when he beat on me."

Clay growled and then surprised Liberty by yelling "Chibs I need you over here."

Liberty looked over at him with fear in her eyes and said "Why do you need this Chibs guy?"

Clay saw the fear in Liberty's eyes and he gave her a gentle reassuring hug. "I want Chibs to take a look at your ribs. Now why did you walk here?"

Liberty sighed and closed her eyes. "The car wouldn't start and I didn't want to be late for the interview. I really need this job."

Clay didn't say anything but he had a look in his eyes that Gemma knew all to well. She knew exactly what he was thinking because she, herself was thinking the same thing. They both thought it unfair that Liberty had to be the parent to her own Mother and sisters when she was barely an adult herself.

Clay looked up when he heart footsteps and he saw both Jax and Chibs walking over and when he saw Liberty tense up he wrapped his arm around her waist just as Chibs said "What do you need Clay?"

He looked at Chibs and Jax and sighed. "Chibs I need you to take a look at Liberty's side. She has some broken ribs."

Chibs nodded and looked at Liberty. He saw that she was young and he wondered how Clay knew her. "Is it alright if I look at ye love?"

Liberty smiled slightly at the accent of the man talking to her and after looking at Clay she gave a reluctant nod. "Yes but I stay right here with Uncle Clay. No offense but I'm a little weary of men right now."

Chibs nodded and said "Can you life your shirt up a little?"

Liberty sighed but nodded. She knew the exact reaction she was going to get when she lifted her shirt up. Not only was her side bruised but so was her back. She also knew that they would see the knife wound on her stomach and she cursed herself in her head for not thinking to warm them before hand. She slowly lifted her shirt up and she heard them all swear.

"Jesus fucking Christ Baby Girl. Why didn't you tell me about your other injuries?" Clay said once he was able to actually talk. He couldn't believe all of the bruises that Liberty was sporting. His blood boiled at the thought of someone hurting someone he considered family.

Liberty sighed again. "Because I know that once you hear the rest of the story you're going to be pissed off."

Clay looked at Liberty and said "What is it that you haven't told me Baby Girl?"

Liberty closed her eyes and blurted "Mom told Richard that I was making her move and she let him into the apartment we were living at in San Diego so that he could stop me."

Gemma's mouth dropped open in shock and she said "Your own Mother told the man who was abusing her and hurting her children what you were doing? My God!"

Jax who had been standing silently just watching everyone finally said "Why does she look familiar Clay?"

Clay chuckled a little. "Well Jax it could be because she's the girl in the picture in my wallet. It could also be the fact that she's Michael's niece. It could be many reasons son just take your pick."

Jax's mouth dropped in shock and then he laughed but before anyone could say anything Tig walked in and when he saw Chibs with some girl who had her shirt up he whistled and said "Who is the babe?"

Clay turned his head to glare at his Sargent at Arms and growled "You will not talk about my niece like that Tig!"

Tig's mouth dropped open in shock and he said "Shit Clay I didn't know."

Clay shook his head and said "It's not me you need to be apoligizing to Tig. It's Liberty that you need to say your sorry too."

Once again Tig's mouth dropped open in shock and he said "Liberty? Is that really you Sweetheart?"
