A/N: This is my first time with the Jason Bourne style of writing. I sincerely apologize if the next few chapters are absolutely terrible. I want to thank everyone who has stuck by this story, favorited, and reviewed! I really hope you enjoyed it so far! There's only a few chapters left before I wrap it up.

As soon as she had exited the women's locker room, Jax had her by her arm and was dragging her outside where the rest of their party was waiting on them. She was definitely feeling the effects of the fight but couldn't help but giggle at the blond man at the same time. The rest of their group were standing outside huddled close together. As soon as they had arrived, Chibs began checking her over to make sure she didn't have any serious injuries.

She was sore, which was understandable, and was already bruised. Ratboy asked if she wanted to go get something to eat. With a warm smile, she nodded her head. She followed the bikers to their vehicles and then down the road to an Applebee's. She followed them inside and waited to be seated. She found herself situated in a large round booth stuck between Juice and Tig. Jax was as close to directly across from her as he could get.

"Kalila, that was amazing!" Juice exclaimed as soon as the waitress had left to fetch their drinks

"Uh, thanks." She chuckled, "Do you think I'm qualified to teach you now?"

"Absolutely. Will we ever get up to your level?" Juice asked, making Tig roll his eyes

"Well….. if you keep with your training I suppose it's possible. I didn't get to this level overnight, so keep that in mind!" She stated

"That was just brutal." Ratboy stated with a sly grin

"It usually is." Kalila replied before taking a drink of her sweet tea

"The last time you had a fight, you came back with worse bruising and a dislocated shoulder. Why was that fight worse than this one?" Jax questioned

She chuckled at the tall blond, "Because this was a sanctioned MMA fight. They aren't co-ed. Males fight males while females fight females. The last fight I did was underground, not sanctioned. I was fighting a pretty big dude my last fight that night."

"Holy shit! Dat has got teh be rough!" Chibs exclaimed

"Fighting a man is different than fighting a woman. Men naturally have more muscle and strength. I have gone up against some women who could lay you out before you even knew what was coming!" She laughed

"You have something to do tomorrow?" Jax asked her

"Yes, another three fights. They won't be as late in the day as this one. I gotta be here at 11, my first fight is at noon, the next one at 1, and the final fight will be at 2:30pm." She explained

"So we'll be leaving the day after tomorrow then?" Juice asked

"That's as long as I need to be here." She said

"How many of these sanctioned MMA fights do you do? What about the unsanctioned ones?" Tig questioned

"I do my fair share. I do have a reputation in this world, though. I do the underground fights because it seems like fighting guys gives me more of a challenge than most women. I can better hone my skills if that makes sense." She stated

They talked more about her martial arts and competitions while they ate dinner. Figuring she was tired, they headed back to the hotel. Everyone bid her a good night before heading off to their own rooms. She was tired, yes, but she changed into her bathing suit and made her way down to the pool area. They had a nice hot tub that she knew would do her good. She didn't notice Jax's door partly open as she walked to the elevator.

The VP was curious as to why she was heading down to the pool at this hour. He silently followed her down to the pool area. She easily walked down into the hot tub and got settled. He stood there just watching her for a few minutes before he headed back to his room. It made sense that she would want to be in the hot tub. Probably eased her aching muscles. She would have three fights tomorrow and then they'd be leaving for home the day after. Perhaps he'd come down to the hot tub tomorrow night too!

As soon as they'd made it back to Charming, Clay wanted to know everything. Juice let his brothers watch her fights that he had recorded. Even Bobby seemed amazed at her skills! Tig told the group everything that had happened while they were away before the FO got them up to speed on what had been going on in their absence.

Things were getting back to normal, or as normal as could be with the outlaw bikers, when the unthinkable happened. Jax was leaving the studio with Kalila one afternoon. He had to get to Church, which Clay had called about a problem in Lodi, and she had an errand to run before the biker's normal afternoon lesson. The pair didn't make it to their respective vehicles.

"Juice! Where's Kalila and Jax? Our lesson is supposed to start soon!" Ratboy exclaimed, coming to a stop by the IO

"Not sure. Haven't heard from him since before he left for the studio." Juice replied

"Log into her house and see if they're there." Tig stated

"Maybe they've lost track of time and are fucking each other senseless!" Ratboy stated making the group around them laugh

To their surprise, they weren't at her house. Tig told Ratboy to go to the studio and see if they were there. Bobby called Jax's phone but it went straight to voicemail. Something wasn't right and Tig was instantly on guard. Had she done something to his VP? Had something happened to them both?! Half an hour later, Ratboy called.

"Hey man, both his bike and her car is still in the parking lot. Don said the last time he saw them was after his private lesson and they were both leaving the building."

"Get back here." Tig stated before hanging up

He made his way to Clay and told him everything they knew so far. It greatly concerned the Prez. He, too, felt that something wasn't right here and he wasn't sure Kalila was a part of it. Chibs was worried she was going to be collateral damage in their war and he slightly felt bad for it. Clay ordered the club to go searching the town for the pair and for Juice to do some intel on Don and the studio.

She started to come to but felt tired and confused. Everything was still dark so she thought she hadn't really opened her eyes. After a few minutes, she was sure her eyes were open and began to get worried. She was in a dark room and she couldn't move her feet or her hands. As hard as she tried, she couldn't quite remember how the hell she'd gotten there.

"Kalila? You awake?" She heard Jax say from somewhere to her left

"YOU!" She stated angrily

"What?" He asked, confused

"It's because of you that I'm here! I knew you guys were bad fucking news!" She exclaimed

"Kalila, I don't know what's going on. Whatever is going on, we're not going to get outta here alive unless we work together." Jax told her

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be in this damned predicament." She huffed

"I'll make a deal with you." He stated, "If you work with me to get out of here, you can kick my ass when we get back to Charming."

She didn't say anything for several minutes. He hoped she was thinking over the proposal. She really hated admitting she needed help, especially to him, but he was right. The only chance they had to get out of here alive was to work together. She sighed heavily.

"Fine. But you should expect one hell of an ass-whooping when this is all over!" She exclaimed

"Fair enough." He breathed a sigh of relief

They slipped back into silence as they tried to figure out where they were and who had taken them. He knew the club would be looking for them. Hopefully they weren't too far away for his brothers to find them. She was trying to figure who exactly would want to take them captive! She didn't even know how long they had been "out" before they started rousing from their unconscious state.

An undetermined amount of time later, some light came into the room as a door was opened up at the top of some stairs. She blinked as more light shone in. A tall man with a huge beer gut came walking down the stairs with two goons in tow. Jax watched them carefully as they walked into the room. The leader of the group stopped in between their chairs.

"Do you know why you're here?" He slowly asked

"Why the fuck would we know that?!" She spat at him

They watched as he laughed with a bit of evilness.

"Well you, my dear, are here because of him and his gang." The guy said before turning to Jax, "And you are here because you and your gang are in my way."

"In your way? How?" Jax questioned, looking between all three men

"Your gang is in the way of some of my business adventures." He simply stated, "So….. unfortunately for you two….. I have to send them a message."

"You don't want to kill us." Jax stated defiantly

With a loud laugh their captor asked, "And why is that?"

"My club will hunt you down and annihilate you and everyone you're associated with." Jax retorted

"We'll see about that." Their captor replied

As quickly as he entered the room, he and his goons were gone again. The lights were turned off as well. They sat in silence for a few minutes before an odd whining could be heard. Before Kalila could ask Jax what that was, they were suddenly drenched in ice-cold water from above. She instinctively screamed at the contact. The water just kept coming from above. She was starting to feel like she couldn't breathe.

She was beginning to panic. Jax wanted to comfort her, to tell her that things were going to be ok, but he couldn't even open his mouth. He, too, was starting to panic slightly, but he was better at keeping those feelings at bay. He needed to figure out how to get out of his restraints. Perhaps they would be able to just walk out of this room if everyone thought they were unconscious down here!

They were soaked with ice cold water for more than half an hour. She was shivering from the cold when she realized that some of her restraints were loose. The water had inadvertently loosened them. She wiggled and worked her hands and feet until she had come out of them. Since it was pitch dark, she couldn't see anything. She slid out of her chair and began crawling around on the floor just feeling her way around.

She didn't feel anything but water and concrete. There was no drain, on the floor at least, there was nothing except the concrete and their chairs. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt something touch his leg. She found Jax and started to undo his leg restraints.

"What's going on?" He whispered as she stood up

She felt the chair until found his right wrist.

"I found my way out of my restraints." She stated before moving to his other side, "There's nothing on the floor. No drain, no doors, nothing but concrete. Our only way out of here as best as I can tell anyhow is the door at the top of the stairs."

"Do you have a plan?" He asked as he stood up

"Take my hand." She instructed, not answering his question

He did as she asked and let her lead him where she wanted. Her 'ouch!'] sparked his concern. Until she began to giggle slightly before whispering: 'I ran into the stairs.' All he could do was smile in the dark. He noted that she kept a firm grip on his hand while they moved around. He came to the realization that she had moved them into the corner where the stairs met the wall. With any luck they would have a brief moment for the element of surprise.

"Listen to me." She started out, "We won't have long to attack. Especially when they can easily see we're not in those chairs."

"I can take two of them." Jax started but she quickly interrupted him

"No you can't. I have the fight training. Listen to me Jax…. whatever happens, don't let get distracted by any injuries I may suffer. We have to both make it out alive or neither of us will." She firmly told him
