Chapter Nineteen
A little while later there was a knock at our door. As I began to wake I noticed this time no one walked in. I looked at Happy and noticed sometime in the last couple of hours he took his shirt off but still had his pants on. I shook Happy to wake him, he grunted at me and then whoever was at the door knocked again this time it was louder and it fully woke Happy. "What?" he yelled at the door as he sat up.
"Hap, Clay wants ya ta come out now." Chibs said through the door. "Lass come out wit him."
"A'ight we'll be out in a little bit." Happy said then turned to face me. "Did ya sleep a'ight?"
I looked at the clock and saw that it was only 9:30. "Yeah I guess considering I've only had a few hours of sleep all damn night. I though they said we had a few hours not fucking one in a half." I snapped at him as I stood up and walked to the bathroom.
I was washing up my face when Happy came in and stood behind me looking at me through the mirror. "Do I detect an attitude with ya?" he said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "What the hell is wrong with ya?"
"Hap I'm sorry between the long day at work then the early morning wakeup call from the fucking asshole cops I just feel so fucking exhausted. I miss the feel of my own bed in my own house." I said as I dried my face and turned to face him. "I know we are stuck here for our safety it's just so damn hard to get any rest here with so many people under one roof. I want to go home; I don't like being here so much. I wish this shit was over already"
Happy stepped forward and slid his arms around my waist. "Jess we'll be back home soon. We can go out there and see what Clay wants then ya could come back and get some rest." He said as he lifted me up on the counter top and stood between my legs. "I know ya hated here but ya gotta bear with me on this."
"I will, I didn't mean to snap at you. I gotta get up anyways I told Lyla last night that I would hang out with her and the kids today." I said as I kissed his neck and his hands ran up my back and tangled in my hair.
He pulled my head away from his neck by my hair so he could look at my face. "What are ya talking about? You guys can't fucking leave this lot today." I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist pulling him closer.
"I already know that." I said as he eased on his hold of my hair and I placed another kiss on his neck and whispered in his ear. "I didn't plan on leaving so you don't have to worry so damn much. We can still find things do here with the kids."
I then licked from his ear down to his collarbone I heard him suck in a deep breath then I bit down on his collarbone causing him to pull me back by my hair again and I smirked at him. "Why do you like fucking doing that shit?" He growled at me.
"Because it's fun sweetheart. You know you like it." I said still smirking at him.
His lips came crashing down on mine. Our tongues battle for dominance as my hands roamed his toned back and one of his hands released my hair and slowly made it way down my back stopping on my ass. As things were starting to heat up with us something fell making a loud thud in the room. Happy pulled away from me a little as my legs slid down from his waist. We both look towards the door to see Tig standing there with a creepy smile on his face and his arms crossed over his chest.
"Ya guys don't gotta stop on my account I was enjoying the show." He said as he leaned against the door. "Clay can wait until WE are done here."
"You sick bastard get out." I snapped at him as I threw a bottle of lotion at him and he dodged it and just wiggled his eyebrows at me. "I swear the minute I can get to a store I am going to buy a hand full of fucking dolls and hang them all over this room to keep your ass out."
"That is just wrong." He said as shiver ran through his body and I smirked at him. "I'll get your ass for that one."
"Tig get the fuck out." Happy growled at him. "Tell Clay we'll be there in minute."
Tig walked out slamming the door behind him and I slid off the counter and started to walk out of the bathroom. "Where are ya going?" Happy asked as he grabbed my arm. "Jump in the shower with me."
"Hap if I shower with you Clay will be pissed that we made him wait so long." I said as I turned to face him and leaned up to kiss his jaw. "I showered last night before I went to bed so I'm going to get dressed as you shower."
"A'ight I'll be out in a couple of minutes." He said as he released my arm and dropped his pants while smirking at me. "Are ya sure you don't want to join me?"
"Damn it Hap stop." I said as I pushed on his chest and walked out.
As Happy showered I locked the door to the room so we wouldn't have any more walk ins and quickly got dressed in a pair of ripped skinny jeans with a fuchsia pink seamless tube top and my black guess ankle boots. I was standing by the mirror pulling my hair up into a messy bun when Happy came out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. He walked up behind me and pulled me closer to him as he kissed the back of my neck as his hands started to roam my body. I leaned back into his chest and moaned but quickly recovered myself and pulled away from him.
"Hap put your clothes on." I said looking at him through the mirror as he grunted and walked to the dresser and pulled on his boxers and jeans. "Are you going to be gone most of the day?" I asked as he sat down to put his boots on.
"Yeah I think so, I want this shit taken care of already." he said as he stood up and pulled his shirt on. "What are ya wearing over that shit?" he said pointing at my top. "Ya ain't going out there with Tig around and no fucking bra."
I pulled out my black jersey cardigan the came about half way down my ass but didn't button close. "I'm wearing this." I said as I put it on. "I already know how he is so I don't plan on giving him a reason to screw with me."
Happy slid on his cut along with one of his guns and we walked out to the bar. Everyone was already sitting around doing different things, the older kids were running out the door as we walked in so I walked over and sat next to Lyla and Happy walked over to talk with Jax and Bishop. Bobby sent the prospect over to me and Lyla with two cups of coffee for us. A few minutes later Clay and Gemma walked into the clubhouse and everyone got pretty quiet looking towards them.
"Alright people a few quick things to talk about then I want all the men in church." He said as he stopped in the middle of the room with Gemma at his side. "First, all ladies are to stay on the lot today if ya have to leave it has to be cleared through me or Jax. Lyla and Jess you two are not to leave under any circumstance. Ya girls got that?" He said looking our way and we nodded yes to him. "It's going to be a long day so all of you have to have patience with us and remember this is only for your safety."
"We're going to shut down the garage today because we don't want anyone we don't know coming here at all." Jax said as he walked over to Clay. "Mary is going to come in a couple of hours and get Opie and Lyla's kids and take them up to the cabin with Piney. Tara and Phil will follow behind them with Abel and Thomas. The less kids we have around today will be best for us. A few of the other old ladies have already taken their kids to other family so we should be good."
"Alright Sons into the chapel." Clay said as all the guys started to file in the room after dropping their phones in the box. "Prospects I want all of ya on the gates. Ratboy you stay inside and man the bar ya won't be any good to us out there right now." He said as he walked in the room behind everyone shutting the door as he entered.
Lyla nodded her head towards the door and the both of us got up and walked out and went towards where the kids were playing on the swing set. Gemma came over with Abel and he ran towards the swing I was standing by so I helped him on it and he asked me to push him so I stood behind him and was pushing him as Lyla was watching the older ones making sure they didn't fight.
"I hope you don't get in any trouble for not going in to the cum factory today." Gemma said looking at Lyla with a smirk on her face.
"No Gemma I'm not going to be in trouble. I don't sleep with any of the men anymore so they won't miss me." She said as she rolled her eyes at Gemma. "Plus I'm sure Ima has it all handled anyways. They have plenty of make-up to cover the bruises on her neck." She said as she smiled at me because I was the one that put them there.
"I'm sure your right. I just wish her head would have been squeezed off that scrawny neck of hers." Gemma smirked at her and then turned to look at me. "Baby girl Clay wants me to talk with you about a car."
"I already figured it would probably have to wait a few days." I said as I pushed Abel. "I'm not worried about it."
"Well yeah it's going to have to wait but he wants us to talk about what kind of car you're going to get." She said as she looked towards my tarp covered car. "He said no more sports cars."
"That's bullshit why can't I get what I had or what I like to drive." I said getting pissed. "What the hell does he want me to get?"
"He said an SUV would be better maybe something like what I drive. You never know when you gotta pack the boys in your car."
"No offense to you Gemma but that's just not my style." I said as I rolled my eyes at her. "And I don't plan on having to pack anyone in the car. It's supposed to be my car not the clubs car."
"Well sweetheart you better find an SUV that fits your style. Keep an eye on Abel I have to run into the office really quick." She said as she walked away from us.
"These fuc…." I started to say but looked down to see Abel staring up at me as I realized I had stopped pushing him. "These people are going to drive me nuts." I said to Lyla as I started pushing him again.
"I know what you mean." She said while watching as Gemma went into the office. "You have no idea how many times I have felt like leaving and not looking back."
"You're talking to the queen of running." I said smiling at her and she let out a giggle smiling back at me. "I just know from experience that it doesn't do any good because if I didn't know any better I would probably be gone already. I ran twice from this club and look at me now."
We spent the next hour playing with the kids and enjoying the weather, summer was getting real close and the days and nights were starting to get hotter. Today felt like it was going to be one of those days. The prospects were opening the gate and that's when we saw Mary pull in so Lyla went to grab the kids bags as they all came and said bye to me. I still had Abel so I picked him up and started walking towards the clubhouse as all the guys came walking out it.
"Hey Jess did ya have Abel this whole time?" Jax asked me as I got closer to where he was standing with Happy. "Ma was supposed to take care of him for Tara."
"It's ok. He wanted to play on the swings and he is such a doll, I really didn't mind watching him." I said as I handed him to Jax.
"Thanks, Tara has been busy getting their stuff together and taking care of Thomas this was a big help for us." Jax said as he adjusted Abel in his arms. "Let me go tell Tara that Mary is here and it's time for them to go."
"Hey Jess I gotta take off for a little bit." Happy said as he walked closer to me. "I want ya to stay in sight of a Son at all times got it. Don't leave this lot and stay away from the gates."
"Yes Happy I got it." I said as I leaned up on my toes and kissed his jaw. I wanted to say something to him about my talk with Gemma but with him trying to handle this shit I didn't want him to worry about anything else. "Be careful, I'll see you when you get back." I said as I walked away from him.
"Jess what the fuck is your problem now?" he snapped at me as I reached for the door.
I stopped and turned to face. "I don't have a problem. I was just on my way to see if Lyla needed some help with the kids so Mary didn't have to wait around too long."
"Jess do ya really think I'm that fucking stupid?" he said as walked over to me. "I know when something is fucking bothering ya. What the hell is it?"
"Hap I'm alright. If there are any problems they can wait until this one is over." I said as I placed my hands on his chest. "Let's get through one thing at a time."
"A'ight, but once this shit done I want to know what the fuck is bothering ya." He said as he kissed my neck. "I shouldn't be too long; I just gotta take care of some shit." I nodded my head at him and walked away.
Happy, Timber, Tig and Bishop all left and the rest of the guys were busy getting stuff together. No one was quite sure what they were doing or what their plans were all we knew was Sons kept coming and going for the last few hours. Tara and her kids had left when Mary left with Lyla and Opie's Kids so the clubhouse was pretty quiet other than the noise that the Sons were making. Happy and the three he left with were still gone at first I didn't think much of it until I saw Jax pacing back and forth. His pacing had me worried I was sitting on top of the picnic table and out of a bad habit my leg was bouncing about a million miles a minute.
"Jess what has you on edge?" Lyla asked as she sat next to me on the picnic table. "I haven't seen you like this since our flight to New York."
"Something doesn't seem right." I said as I wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans. "Jax has been pacing the gate for an hour now. I know he won't tell me anything so I'm not going to waste my time asking him so I asked one of the prospects what was going on but he wouldn't tell me anything other than not to fucking worry and I am really getting tired of hearing that shit."
"Did you try and ask Juice or Chibs?" she said as she put pressure on my knee to stop my leg. "It might calm you if you try."
"Your right, I'll be right back." I jumped off the table and headed towards Juice who was sitting by the boxing ring with Kozik because I wasn't sure were Chibs was at.
As I sat down next to Juice he turned to face me. "What's on your mind?" he said as he put his arm around my shoulders. "I can see it in your eyes your worried about something."
"Why is Jax pacing like a mad man right now?" I asked hoping to get a straight answer. "I hate not knowing anything."
"A'ight I said I was going to do all I can to prove ya can trust me so I ain't going to lie to ya or try and hide shit…." He was saying until Kozik cut him off.
"Juice drop it. Jess there ain't shit ya gotta worry about." Kozik said as he stepped in front of me and my brother. I looked at Juice and gave him the "I told you so" look, knowing he had to remember the conversation we had yesterday. "If Hap wants her to know he will tell her."
"No Koz I ain't dropping it. Jess, Hap and the rest of 'em should have been back almost an hour ago. We haven't heard anything from 'em so everyone is on edge right now." he said to me as he and Kozik glared at each other.
"What did they go do?" I said as I looked between the both of them. "Guys please tell me. Could Happy get hurt from what he is doing?"
"Jess as much as I want to tell you I can't tell you that." Juice said as he placed a kiss on my forehead. "Some of the club business will always be on a need to know." I just nodded my head at him knowing that what he was saying was true.
"Jess if they ain't back really soon a few of us will go find 'em so don't worry ok." Kozik said as he sat on the other side of me.
"How much longer are you guys going to wait for?" I asked as I looked at Kozik.
"Not long Jess. Just relax." He said as he squeezed my knee and I patted his hand.
Just as I was standing up to walk away from them we all heard the bikes coming down the street. All the Sons that were sitting in the clubhouse came out and the ones that were standing outside walked over to the center of the lot to wait for the returning Sons to pull onto the lot.
I walked back over to the picnic table and sat with Lyla as the guys pulled in. "Things look alright with them." She said looking towards the bikes. "Did Juice tell you anything?"
"He wouldn't say much but he did say that Happy and the rest of them should have been back an hour ago." I said to her as I watched Happy get off his bike. He glanced in my direction and nodded his head at me and then turned to talk with all the Sons that were standing around him. "I think tonight is going to be along stressful night." I said and she nodded her head and agreed with me.
Lyla and I watched as the men talked, when they were finally done Happy started to walk towards me. Lyla smirked at me as she stood up. "I'll find you later. I'm going to talk to Ope really quick." she said as she walked towards Opie.
"Jess we need talk really quick." Happy said as he stepped in front of me. "If anyone questions were I was today….." he started to say but the police sirens interrupted him. He quickly leaned into my ear. "We went to my ma's house you, me and the guys a'ight." I nodded my head in agreement as he pulled back to stand straight.
He pulled me to my feet and we started to walk towards the clubhouse. Just as we were getting to the door Sheriff Roosevelt stepped in front of us. I looked around and saw two more sheriffs questioning Tig, Timber and Bishop. There were a few others standing by the gate and one more standing off to the side off us.
"We need to talk Lowman." He said to Happy.
"What do you want? I just got back and I need a beer." He said as he smirked at Roosevelt.
"Well that's what I need to talk with you about." Roosevelt said as he motioned for another sheriff to come over. "They both need to be patted down. I want to make sure neither of them are armed."
"Fuck that he ain't putting his fucking hands on my old lady." Happy snapped as he pulled me behind him. "Ya want her searched get a fucking bitch here cause ain't no mutha fucker touching her."
"We can do this here now or I can take the both of you down to the station and we can do it there." He snapped at Happy. When I looked at Happy his eyes they had gone very cold and black. I knew that was trouble.
"Happy just let it go." I said to him as I pulled his arm and he glared at me. "Sheriff Roosevelt if I remove my sweater and spin around you can plainly see I have nothing on me will that do without a search. If things don't go right for you then we can take a ride to the station."
"That will be fine." He said compromising with me. "Hand your sweater to Sheriff Jenks so he can search it."
I took my sweater off and handed it to the other sheriff and spun around slowly as I faced Happy I smirked at him and he smirked back at me. I knew with the clothes I had on they could easily see I had nothing on me. When I was facing Roosevelt again I stopped and raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you satisfied?" I asked as I looked over at the other sheriff who was too busy staring at my chest as he handed my sweater back to me. I was thanking god Happy was too busy glaring at Roosevelt to notice it.
"You're good." He said to me then he looked up to look at happy again. "Lowman a spin around ain't gonna work for you." He smirked at Happy. "Against the wall and spread 'em!"
Happy walked over to the wall and did what he was told with a smirk plastered across his face. I watched as Roosevelt decided to search Happy himself at first I was nervous because I had remembered Happy leaving with one of his guns but Roosevelt was not pleased when he found nothing on Happy.
"Now that we have both been searched what the hell do you want?" Happy snapped at him as he walked back to where I was standing and held my hand.
"Where have you been all morning? I was told you and a few of your friends were spotted around the hospital."
"Well I think ya need to talk with your informant again because me, Jess and few of my brothers were in Bakersfield visiting my ma." Happy said with confidence as he squeezed my hand.
"Dr. Ortiz was with you in Bakersfield today?" he said doubting what Happy just said. "How about I get your mothers number and confirm this little story right now. If your story doesn't check out I'm taking all of you in. Including the doctor."
"Go right ahead, shit if ya want use Jess's phone. Ya won't have to wait long for the number." Happy said with a smirk.
Roosevelt held his hand out to me and I handed my cell phone, not the pre-paid, to him. I knew he would find it because it was under Linda Lowman and she was the only Lowman in the phone. He walked a few feet away from us and started to go through the phone but stopped when the other two sheriffs walk up to him and spoke. I couldn't make out what they were saying so I turned to look a Happy and raised my eyebrow at him so he pulled me in for a hug then kissed my neck.
As he placed small kisses on my neck he was whispering in my ear. "I already talked with ma so don't worry about anything she knows what to say and we ain't gotta worry about her neighbors ain't no one gonna talk. The guys already know what to say too."
As he was saying this I glanced over his shoulder and saw Sheriff Jenks staring at us so I winked at him, he quickly stood up straight and smiled at me. "I think our little watch dog likes the show." I whispered in his ear while staring at the asshole watching us.
Happy grunt and then smacked my ass hard as he stood up straight. "What are ya staring at asshole?" Happy growled at the sheriff.
"I was just wondering why a doctor as hot as her would want to be with biker trash." The sheriff said to Happy. I watched as Happy's hand balled in to tight fist and the sheriff smirked at him.
Jax came quickly walking over to us; he looked over at the sheriff and then put his hand on Happy's shoulder. "Calm down Killa can't have ya beating the shit out of the law. Shit is going as planned." He said in a very low voice to Happy.
Roosevelt came walking over to us not looking happy at all. "Ok Lowman your story checks out for now." He said as he held my phone out and Happy took it from him and passed it back to me. "Now my concern is that Dr. Ortiz might be in danger the third guy somehow die all of sudden today. She needs to let us help her; you guys can't stand in the way of her safety."
My heart started to beat very fast but I was trying to stay calm on the outside. With Happy's back to me he couldn't see that my hands started to shake but Jax noticed right away. He walked over to me and put his arm around my shoulders and leaned down to my ear to whisper something. My first instinct was to push him away but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. "Jess hold it together. Put your hands in your pockets."
I nodded my head and did as he said while I tried to nicely shrug his arm of my shoulders. "Is there a problem?" Roosevelt asked as he looked at me.
Happy also turned around to see what he was talking about. "No there isn't a problem. I'm just really tired it has been a long afternoon and would like to rest." I said as I looked at Happy hoping he would get me out of here.
"Look if ya ain't here to arrest me I ain't got shit else to say to you. She doesn't need your help with shit. Call my lawyer the next time ya feel the need to talk with us." Happy said as he walked to me. "Let's go inside."
I turned and walked into the clubhouse with Happy walking behind me, leaving Jax and Roosevelt standing there. I walked quickly and quietly through the clubhouse to our room. I pulled out the key and unlocked the door leaving it open behind me because Happy for some reason was walking very slow and was no longer right behind me. I started to pace the room while I waited for him to enter. He finally came in and shut the door behind himself.
"Did you fucking go to the hospital and kill him?" I asked as he walked over and leaned against the dresser.
"Ya ain't gotta worry about this shit ok." He said as he cross his arms over his chest.
"Stop fucking telling me that. No matter how many times you say it I am going to fucking worry." I snapped as I stopped my pacing to glare at him. "This does not only involve you guys, this also involves me and Lyla. So I am going to fucking worry." Then I started to pace again.
"Calm the fuck down already." he said as he stepped in front of me to stop my pacing. "Jess I said ya ain't gotta worry by the end of tonight this shit won't matter anymore."
"Did you kill him?" I said as I looked up at him. "And don't lie to me."
"Yes I killed him. He had to die Jess." He said as he slid his hands around my waist. "I told ya before that there are some things I can't tell ya about."
"Hap that is more your choice then a club choice. I know you don't want me too deep in this but it can't be that way." I said to him as I placed my hands on his chest. "Hap everything you do for this club can affect me just as much as you, remember what Jimmy did to us."
"I will never forget anything that mutha fucker did to us." He said as his hands slid up my body. "You have the scars to remind me for the rest of my life." His hand had stopped on the scar that was just under the ink on my back then slid up to my face and his fingers traced the two small scars on my cheek.
"I'm not asking you to tell me every single thing I know you can't but what you guys are doing today can have a back lash on me and Lyla. I think we have the right to know about it when it directly involves us."
"I will only tell you things I think ya should know no more than that. I want ya to stay here do not leave the lot for anything or anyone." I nodded my head yes to him. "Jess I ain't going to tell ya what we plan on doing but I am asking that if ya drink today try and stay sober. With Tara gone and the fact that something can go wrong at any time I need ya to be in the right frame of mind if we need ya."
"Alright." I said as I leaned my head on his chest. "But how are you guys going to get pass Sheriff Dickhead and his crew of assholes? I'm sure they are going to be watching our moves right now."
"I did some recon earlier with the guys that's why it took longer than expected, the Los Locos clubhouse is a few towns north of Charming so it out of their reach. We try to keep shit out of Charming so this has to be handled in their town not ours." He said as he looked down at me. "Ya look tired why don't you get some rest while shit is quiet around here?"
"Yeah I think I'll do that." I said as stepped away from him and moved over to the bed. "Wake me up before you leave."
"I'm gonna go see if as you put it Sheriff Dickhead and his crew of assholes left yet and talk with Jax really quick." He said as he opened the door. "We ain't leaving for a few hours so I'll be back to lay with ya for a bit."
I took my sweater off and put it on the foot of the bed and laid down. With it being so quiet in the clubhouse for a change it didn't take me too long after my head hit the pillow to fall asleep. I felt the bed dip a little on Happy's side so I rolled over to face him and he pulled me closer to him.
"Go back to sleep we still have a couple of hours." He said as he laid a soft kiss on my lips then laid his head back on the pillow.
About an hour later there was a knock on the door. I heard the doorknob jiggle but it didn't open so Happy must have remembered to lock it this time. I tried to ignore it but the knock got louder followed by Chibs trying to whisper through the door. "Hap, Lass ya gotta open up."
I shook Hap to wake him, when his eyes opened he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "What are ya waki…." He started to say when Chibs knock on the door again. "What the hell do ya want?" he yelled towards the door.
"Brotha I need ya to wake up and open dis door I gotta come in there." He said in a low whisper again. As I was listening to him I heard other voices that were in the distant that sounded familiar.
Happy had a confused look on his face as he climbed out of bed and walked to the door as soon as he unlocked it Chibs opened the door slid in and shut it behind him. "What the hell is going on?" Happy said as he crossed his arms over his chest and I sat up.
Chibs looked at me with a remorseful look and then back at Happy. I quickly climbed out of the bed and walked over to them. "Chibs just say it already. By the look on your face it doesn't look good."
"Lass I don't know if it is or isn't." he said as he ran his hand through his hair. I was about to say something to him when I heard Juice yelling at someone. I looked up at Chibs then started to walk towards the door. "Lass wait, don't go out there yet."
"Why?" I asked as I opened the door and walked out. As I was walking I could still hear Juice yelling and saying something about not needing these problems here right now and then Gemma start to snap on someone also. I was so focused on my brother that I could barely hear what Chibs was saying to Happy.
"Jess hold on. SHIT!" Happy said to me in panicked voice just as I turned the corner to the main room.
I instantly stopped in my tracks my legs felt like they were going to give out on me. That's when I felt Happy's hands go around my waist from behind and pulled me towards him. I brought my hands up to his hands and held on to them tightly. He leaned down to whisper in my ear but before he could say something I spoke first. "Happy this can't be fucking happening right now. I can't go through this again."
As those words left my mouth everyone got quiet and turned towards us. Juice quickly walked over and stood in front of Happy and me as everyone else just stood staring at us.
