"I didn't break into any pharmacy," Darby replied defensively, staring Jax down. "I was actually out of town that night, procuring some business," he added, "If you must know…"

Jax took a moment to reply. He swallowed his rage and tried to be rational, "Then if it wasn't you- have you heard anything?"

It's not like the Sons and the Nords were friends…not by any means. But they were certain of two things;

One: the Nords were always up for a business transaction if it benefitted them enough.

And two: As sleazy as they were, with their crank and black market deals, they didn't deal or attack in Charming nor did they attack women and children. It was too far beneath their pay grade.

However, Jax had to be sure. His son could be dying in the hospital right now and it was his duty to find the person responsible and make them pay.

Darby gave him a look. The sort of "why the hell do I want to help you" kind. Jax picked up on it, "Look…someone tried to attack me in Charming…completely back-handed. And because of that- it almost killed my pregnant girlfriend and my son… We both know that this cannot happen again in Charming."

Darby processed, took a beat but finally spoke, "I never heard about a break in, or anybody attempting to use chemical warfare. However, I heard tell of someone who's making their way into Charming and the word on the street is: they don't like the Sons very much."

Jax, Tig, and Bobby looked at him, each with their own thoughts.

"Rival gang?" Tig asked slowly.

"Don't think so…" Darby shook his head. "Now…if you'll excuse me…I've got to get back to work…" and he turned on his heal and headed back into the warehouse that he refurnished furniture in.

Jax turned to Bobby and Tig.

"This does not look good, brother," Bobby looked at Jax. Jax had his hands shoved in his pockets, fury on his face.

"This son of a bitch, whoever he is…is a goddamn coward. He'll pay," he said.

"We don't even know who he is yet…" Bobby replied.

Jax shrugged, "If he wanted to hurt me like that…this isn't going to be a mild dislike…we'll figure it out…but we need to go tell the others what we know…"

Tig and Bobby agreed. But that's when Jax' phone went off. They were mounting their bikes and Jax answered. It was Kylie.

"Hey babe, everything all right?"
