Tig was furious as what he had learned. He couldn't believe that Carmen had let the man in that beat his daughter up. He knew that he needed to calm down some or when they got to the house he would lose his temper with Carmen and he knew that he couldn't do that. His blood boiled at the thought of what Liberty had gone through.

When he had come into the club house and finally realized who it was that had her shirt up his first thought and instinct was to tell her to lower her damn shirt. Then when he saw the bruises his first thought was who in the hell does he need to kill. He had never thought that he would be wanting to kill the Mother of his first born daughter. He couldn't believe that Carmen had let her boyfriend beat on Liberty and touch her two youngest daughters.

He couldn't help but wonder just what kind of woman Carmen had turned in to. He couldn't help but wonder just what else she had let happen to not only their daughter but her two youngest. He had a feeling that he was going to find out and once he did that he wasn't going to like whatever it was he found out.

He held his daughter tight to him and only let her go when Gemma came back out with the pain medicine and a glass of water. He watched as Liberty took the pain pills and decided to have her ride in Gemma's car. Without even asking her he gently wrapped his arm around his daughter and led her out to Gemma's car and helped her get in before going over to his bike.

As he straddled his bike he vowed to himself that he wouldn't let anyone else hurt his daughter. He silently vowed that he wouldn't let anymore harm come to his daughter's sisters either. He would do whatever it took to make sure that the mother fucking bastard that dared to put his hands on Liberty, Heather and Harmony paid and he knew that the others would as well.

Clay watched as Tig helped Liberty into Gemma's car. He shook his head in amazement as he saw how tender and caring Tig was with Liberty. He had thought he would never see the day that Tig would and could be gentle with a woman. He was still shocked that he was Liberty's Dad but as he watched the two closely he could see that Liberty did have some of Tig in her.

He knew that Michael would have been proud to know that Liberty's father hadn't abandoned her like he had thought he did. He knew that he, himself was proud to know that Tig had been in Liberty's life since she was born. As he thought about that his blood boiled that Carmen had thought it was okay to keep Liberty away from Michael and from Tig.

When he saw the dark look come over Tig's face as he straddled his bike he knew that Tig's own blood was boiling at what happened to Liberty. He, himself wanted to throttle Carmen for letting the man into her life that had not only beaten her oldest daughter up but had actually had the nerve to touch her two youngest daughters. He couldn't understand how any woman could do that to her own children.

He knew without being told by Tig that Tig would want blood for this. Hell he, himself wanted blood because the fucker had actually hurt his niece. He shook his head as he thought about just how much pleasure all of the guys would get out of the Richard guy when they beat the living shit out of him before more than likely killing him for daring to lay his hands on SAMCRO family.

As he looked into his wife's car at Liberty and saw her wince in pain he vowed that he would do everything in his life to keep his niece safe. He vowed that he would not let anyone else hurt her no matter who they were or who they thought they were. He also vowed that he would let Gemma go off on Carmen for thinking that it was even the slightest bit okay to allow her daughter to be beaten by her boyfriend. He didn't give a shit what Carmen did anymore but he would be damned if he let her choices affect her oldest daughter and her twin daughters.

Jax couldn't believe that the girl that had been beat up was his daughter. He sat on his bike as he watched Tig help Liberty into his Mother's car. As his eyes took in Liberty for the first time without his view being obstructed and he felt something inside himself shift. As he watched her get into the car he felt a protective instinct towards her like he's never felt for another woman before.

As his eyes took in her blonde hair with teal stripes in it it his heart started beating faster. He wasn't sure what it was that was pulling him towards her but he wanted to find out. He wanted to make sure that she knew that she could lean on him. He may have just met her but he liked her already.

His eyes went over to where Tig was straddling his bike and he saw the angry look upon his brother's face and he vowed that he would help Tig do whatever it was he wanted to do. He would make sure that nobody ever got the chance to hurt Liberty again. He wasn't sure why he was feeling like Liberty belonged to him but right now he wasn't going to fight it. He was going to make sure that Liberty and her two younger sisters were safe and that nobody else could hurt them. He vowed that he would do whatever it took to keep Liberty and her sisters safe. He vowed that he would do whatever needed to be done in order to make sure that Liberty was never hurt like she had been ever again.

As he thought about the fact that it was Liberty's own Mother who had allowed her to be hurt his blood boiled. He couldn't understand how a Mother could allow her boyfriend to beat on one daughter and touch her other two daughters. He couldn't understand how a Mother could keep her daughters away from family who could and would love them. As he saw his Mom get into the car and saw the anger on her face he smiled slightly. He may not hit women but he knew that more than likely his own Mother would be hitting Carmen for what she let happen to Liberty, Harmony and Heather.
