Chapter Fourteen
About twenty minutes after I finished off the pot of coffee my mom came in the clubhouse, followed by Juice and Chibs pushing some guy on a stretcher. She looked at me and barked an order.
"Get sheets and a towel, doubletime!" I got up and went to the supply closet which had everything we needed. I grabbed the supplies and went to the chapel where they had taken the guy on the stretcher.
"Darlin' just spread out the sheets on the table and put the towel under his head; we don't want him drownin' in a pool of his own sick."
I nodded and spread the sheets out on the table while I folded and placed the towel where his head would go. Chibs nodded in approval while he and Juice moved the guy. The man had a moment of lucidity as they moved him and looked up at me.
"Have I died and been blessed by heaven, there's an angel over me." I smiled softly and shook my head.
"You aren't dead but don't let her fool you into thinking she's not an angel." Chibs smiled as he began looking into the wounds. "Milla, go get us a bottle of something with a heavy proof, we need to disinfect these wounds."
I nodded and went out to the bar where a bottle of everclear was stashed in the lower part of the bar. I figured they could get the guy trashed quickly and clean the wounds at the same time. By the time I made it back the guy was passed out and one slug was on the table by him.
"Thanks baby." Juice said as he grabbed the bottle and handed it to Chibs.
"Who is this guy? He's obviously Irish." I walked around the table and turned his head so that he wasn't facedown in his own bile.
"Cameron Hayes, new contact. Just help us keep him alive." Chibs knew that I was like mom, the club held no secrets from me.
Dad poked his head in the door and caught my eye before he jerked his head in a signal for me to get outside. I moved from my perch at the head of the table and walked out. Placing a hand on Juice's arm as I passed in what I hoped as a comforting gesture. When I got out in the main room Mom was sitting at the table with a cup of coffee and Dad had me sit next to her.
"Some serious shit is coming down on us and I need to know that my girls are safe, I want you to stay put until this blows over. If we need to have a SAMCRO lockdown, then you can leave to get supplies. Until that time comes stay put." He sat down across from us and waited for a tirade from Ma. She surprised us by simply nodding, my response was the same.
After that I became the nurse to Mr. Hayes. I wound up changing his head towel three times and eventually jus took one of the emergency blankets from the ambulance to use since it seemed more absorbent but not soft enough to suffocate him. I started to feel exhaustion overcome me and was told to doze in the corner, Chibs would wake me when they needed me. It did no good since they needed me for the remainder of the night. By the time morning rolled around I was covered in blood and snot and reminded, painfully, about why I had never even considered being a doctor.
"Milla, girly, go get cleaned up and make a pot of coffee. You're lookin' rough." I took Chibs' order and started to walk out before Juice moved away from the table and held me in his arms.
"Sorry the anniversary didn't pan out babe." He kissed the top of my head and I had to smile.
"Just part of being SAMCRO baby." I leaned up and kissed him before I broke from his embrace and went to do what Chibs requested.
I went out to find the guys sitting at the bar drinking the remainder of the coffee. I nodded to Piney and Tig and gave Opie a brief hug before I made another pot. Mom came in and sat on the stool.
"Have you heard from your brother?"She picked at her nails as she glanced at me.
"No Ma, not since I saw him yesterday. Want me to make a couple calls, to him and maybe Tara?" I measured the coffee and made sure it was strong enough.
"Yeah make a few calls, sometimes he answers you. If you need help with anything call one of the girls." She got off the stool and walked out without any further instructions.
I called both Tara and Jax and got nothing in response so I continued with the coffee and food duties while I heard the guys moving around in the outer room. I heard Unser's voice and decided to stay put; I didn't want to hear his suspicions. I also wanted to avoid going back to the Irishman for the time being. I leaned against the wall before I heard some commotion. I got out just in time to see my Mom rush out followed by Tig. I knew I wasn't going to get any answers so I took the full pot off and brought it to the hot plate in the main room, no use letting it get cold. As I set down the pot I heard muffled curses and screams coming from the conference room and decided I'd abandoned my post for long enough. When I got through the door my eyes widened at the sight in front of me.
"Why is my fiancés finger in another man's ass?" I turned to Chibs who gave a slight chuckle.
"Just keeping him from bleeding out doll, why don't you stay here while I go get some whisky from the bar." I nodded and walked into the room where Juice looked excessively uncomfortable.
"This isn't gay, right baby?" It was so innocent that I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing.
"No baby, it's not gay. It's not even bicurious." He smiled at me and I sat in the corner and put my head against the wall. I dozed until I heard Chibs voice. I missed a huge chunk of the conversation before I heard something about "taking out" the port commissioner. I decided that doing a dramatic wakeup would be in my best interest so I yawned loudly and stretched and looked over at Chibs who gave me an indulgent smile.
"You should go to the dorms and get some rest babygirl, you need it. I've got your man here." I got up and went out the door where I saw Jax coming in looking sheepish. He looked at me and put a hand up.
"Don't you start." It was all he managed to say, before I could say anything, Chibs told him that they needed a real doctor. Mom and Tig came in afterward and Opiestood by me for a brief moment before he followed Jax out the door.
Suddenly a loud voice could be heard outside and I rushed out. I knew who the voice belonged to. As I got outside I stopped in my tracks, Donna was letting Opie have it and my heart was crushed in my chest. This fight had been a long time coming and I had tried my damndest to stop it. As I tried to run out my brother grabbed me and held me to him.
"Let them deal with this shit. Stay out of it." I felt tears come to my eyes as she got in the truck and peeled off. "Go back inside, Clay wants you to stay."
I said nothing I just stood until Jax let me go and gave me a shove toward the clubhouse.
"Go!" He yelled his command and I had no other response than to comply I may have been his sister but I was also an Old Lady and he was VP. I walked in the clubhouse and was so distraught and so exhausted that I did what Chibs had recommended. I found an empty dorm room and slept for a few solid hours.
When I woke up my man was on the bed next to me grinning like a mad man. I stretched and moved to sit against the headboard. He moved until he was sitting next to me, still grinning.
"The doc said I helped save Hayes' life. It was so fucking cool baby." He threw an arm around me and I snuggled in his arms.
"You're a goddamned hero baby and you're my hero." He leaned down to kiss me when the door opened and Bobby poked his head in.
"Party's about to start, get your asses out here." I smiled and Juice got out of bed and helped me get up before he pulled my body to his and gave me the kiss we'd been denied earlier. "Move it."
I rolled my eyes and Juice gave me a playful swat to the backside as we went out the door. I smiled as I saw that the party was already starting in the clubhouse. I saw Happy and he nodded a greeting while another Tacoma brother gave me a glance and Happy clipped him in the back of the head. He must have been a prospect.
The guys were having a private meeting so I stayed away. Luckily there was a boxing match going on so I had plenty of entertainment. As the match broke apart I decided to walk to the clubhouse and get something stronger than the brews the sweetbutts were handing out. As I approached the edge of the crowd I saw Tara wandering around looking lost so I ran to her.
"Milla hey." She gave me a hug which I returned fiercely.
"Hey Tara, I heard you saved a life today. Thank you so much." I hugged her even tighter.
"Yeah, I finally met your man too. You should have told me he was a sweetheart." She playfully swatted my arm and grinned at her. Too few people showed Juice kindness and I always appreciated it when someone did.
"Hmm, I have to go through the list of adjectives I use for him. Feel more comfortable about being a bridesmaid now that you've met the groom?" I asked as I slipped my arm through hers and led her toward the clubhouse.
"I'm more comfortable about a lot of things." She looked away from me and I followed her gaze as she stared at Jax. I released her arm and she gave me another hug before she went to him.
I smiled as my man came up with a bottle of Jack and a huge smile. No words needed to be spoken as he wrapped his arm around my waist and dragged me into the clubhouse. We were gonna have a private party and I couldn't have been happier.
