While JessAnn and Tig were hugging, Darby and four guys pulled up in the parking lot. Darby got out of the truck and started walking over to JessAnn.
"Darby, you take one more step and I will personally shoot you in the head," said Jax walking up behind Tara.
"You wouldn't. Not here," said Darby. "All I want is the girl."
JessAnn looked up from Tig's shoulder to see what was going on.
"I think I have the right to have her, since she is supposed to be staying with me," said Darby.
"You're her Ernest?" asked Gemma walking up. "Tig let go of her."
"No," said Tig.
"The girl," said Darby.
"JessAnn?" said Tara.
"Darby, do you have a death wish," said Clay walking up to Darby.
"I want my niece," said Darby.
"No," said Clay.
"Clay, we can't keep her from him," said Gemma.
"See," said Darby. "Let's go."
Darby grabbed JessAnn's upper arm and started dragging her towards the truck.
"You want to tell me why I got a call from your mother saying that some friend of yours is coming down here?" asked Darby practically throwing JessAnn in the front seat.
"I don't know," said JessAnn. "I need to get my things."
"Buy new ones," said Darby starting the truck.
Not ten minutes after Darby leaves the auto shop and taxi pulls into the parking lot. Trisha steps out and walks over to the office door and knocks.
"Can I help you?" asked Gemma.
"Um…I am looking for Clay Morrow," said Trisha.
"He is out at the moment. Something I can help with?" asked Gemma.
"This isn't about a car," said Trisha.
"You have club business with my husband?" asked Gemma standing up.
"Yes, I do," said Trisha not backing away.
"Really?" asked Gemma.
"Yea," said Trisha pulling up her shirt to reveal a Phoenix tattoo on her hip.
"Come on," said Gemma walking towards the club house.
Gemma burst through the door not seeing anybody.
"Sack! Where is Clay?" asked Gemma.
"Church," said Sack.
"Sit," said Gemma pointing to a bar stool.
Gemma opened the door to the meeting room.
"Gemma, what are you doing!" shouted Clay.
"You want to tell me why a Phoenix just walked into my office looking for you?" asked Gemma.
"A Phoenix? Here? Why?" asked Clay.
"You tell me," said Gemma.
"Actually, I can tell you," said Trisha walking over to the door.
"Then do," said Gemma walking to stand behind Clay.
"Um…has JessAnn DeMarco got to town yet?" asked Trisha.
"Yeah. Darby has her. She is his niece evidently," said Jax. "Why does that have anything to do with you?"
"Well, not only is she my best friend, I was supposed to come get her to take her to Lodi for her initiation," said Trisha. "She is a Phoenix."
"Shit!" said Tig getting up.
"Tig, sit," said Clay.
"Ah…you must be Alex then," said Trisha. "She told me you were a biker. Anyway, I need her and Darby has her."
"How the hell do we get her out of Darby's house?" asked Juice.
"It will take planning, and time," said Jax.
"I don't have time," said Trisha.
"Incoming!" said Sack from the bar.
Up on the screens was Chief Unser's squad car. A few seconds later there was a knock on the club house door. Clay got up and opened the door. Unser was out of breath.
"There was a call over the radio….abuse….it came up Darby's house," said Unser sitting down on a bar stool.
"Where is the girl?" asked Tig.
"In the car," said Unser.
Tig ran out of the club house and to Unser's car. Tig jerked open the door and saw JessAnn. She had a busted lip and her eye was already starting to blacken. Tig pulled JessAnn out of the car and pulled her up into his arms.
"Alex?" said JessAnn weakly.
"Yeah, baby. It's me," said Tig walking towards the club house.
"Put her in the dorm," said Gemma walking back from the room.
Tig walked down the hallway to the room. Gemma had cleaned up the room as much as she could. Tig laid JessAnn down on the bed. As soon as she hit the bed she rolled away from Tig.
"Jess," said Tig placing a hand on her should.
"I don't want you to see me like this," said JessAnn.
"Can I have a moment?" asked Trisha walking in the room.
Tig nodded and walked out.
"Jess? What happened?" asked Trisha sitting down on the bed.
"Mom called him," said JessAnn. "Told him that a friend of mine was coming down here. When we got to the house, he hit me. He kept hitting me."
JessAnn stopped talking because she started crying again.
"It's okay, darling," said Trisha running her hand up and down JessAnn's arm. "When you are better, we are going to Lodi."
JessAnn didn't answer her, she had fallen asleep. Trisha stood and went back to the main part of the club house. She nodded to Clay and Jax before walking out to the parking lot.
