Chapter Twenty-one

It has been two days since my family has arrived in Charming and I still haven't contacted them. Juice has been really worried about them being here so I knew I had to do something soon. Jax has not asked us any questions and I was pretty grateful for that. Donut has succeeded in getting Cassie to drop charges against me. Roosevelt hasn't shown his face yet but I know he will soon now that the charges have been dropped. The Sons couldn't eliminate all of the Los Locos but they put a major dent in their numbers so they shouldn't be a problem for us for a while. The only good thing that came from the last few days was that I was able to get back into my own house.

I was in the kitchen making breakfast when Happy walked in. He hung his cut on the back of one of the chairs and walked over to me and kissed the side of my neck as he grabbed a coffee mug. "Jess I gave ya two drama free days now I want to know what the fuck was bothering ya the other day before I left the clubhouse." He said as he leaned back against the counter next to me. "I don't want any bullshit about it being no big deal either."

"While you guys were in church Gemma came over to talk with me about what kind of car I had to get."

"What the hell do ya mean the kind of cage ya had to get?" he asked as he stood up straight. "We never said there was any certain cage ya had to get."

"Well according to Gemma and Clay there are to be no more sports cars." I said to him with a slight attitude that I was having a hard time controlling. "If that's the case tell them not to worry about getting me a car, I'll get my own shit."

"Shit ain't going down like this." He said as he took the plate of food I was handing him. "What kind of fucking cage are they talking about?"

"Gemma said I needed something with more space just in case I have to fit the boys in it!" I said as I sat at the table with him. "And this was before they were questioning my back ground with you."

"Fuck that ya ain't going to be doing shit for the club to need more fucking space." He said as we heard the doorbell. "I'll take care of this shit today. Let me see who is at the door I'll be right back." He got up and kissed my forehead as he walked away to answer the door.

After sitting there for a few moments I walked to the living room to see why Happy did not come back yet. When I walked in the living room he was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest with his back to me. "Hap who is at the door?" I asked as I looked over at him.

He glanced over his shoulder and then stepped to the side and I saw Sheriff Roosevelt and Sheriff Cane standing there. "Hello Dr. Ortiz glad to see your home." He said as he glared at Happy. "I was just asking Lowman where you were at. Can we come in?"

"Do you have a warrant?" I asked and he shook his head no. "Then no you may not come into our home. What do you want?" I said while walking over by Happy to stand right next to him and his hand came down to rest on my hip as he smirked at Roosevelt.

"I want to know what you did to Cassie Donavan to get her to drop the charges against you?" he snapped at me. "I know you did something or the Sons did it."

"I didn't do anything and neither did the Sons. I stood away from her like my lawyer told me to." I said in sweet voice. "If she made the choice to drop the charges it was all on her."

"That's bullshit and you know it, I will find out. I am not going to have you starting shit in my town." He snapped at us.

"It ain't your town and this conversation is over. If ya have any other questions try contacting our lawyer first next time." Happy said just as a few Sons pulled into our driveway.

Roosevelt glanced back at the arriving Sons and shook his head at me as he turned to walk away. Happy nodded his head for me to go inside as he walked out the door over to Jax, Juice, Chibs, Kozik and Donut as they climbed off their bikes. I went inside and relaxed on the couch giving the guys space to talk. I laid there enjoying the quiet time I had before I had to go to work. A few minutes later it was over because Happy walked in with the rest of them behind him.

"How ya doin' lass?" Chibs said to me as he walked in and all the guys moved around the living room to stand in various spots of it.

"Good." I said to him as I looked at all of them who were now all staring at me except Donut who was looking down at his feet. "What is this all about?" I asked Happy as I sat up and tucked my legs under me.

"Darlin' its time we all talked." Jax said as he sat on the recliner. "I need to kno…"

Chibs cut him off before he could finish talking. "Lass before Jacky boy continues I want ya ta know we ain't here ta ambush ya. I promise dat ta ya a'ight." I nodded my head at him and looked back at Jax.

"A'ight with that said. Jess I know all of ya are hiding shit from us." He said looking at me but pointing at Happy, Kozik and Donut. "What the hell was going on up in Tacoma that you're not telling us?"

"If you don't mind me asking why are we doing this here and not at the clubhouse?" I asked Jax.

"Because until we know what's going on we rather not let Clay in on anything yet." Juice said as he sat down next to me. "Clay already knows you guys are hiding shit because Tig told him what Donut had said but because you and Hap haven't been to the clubhouse in two days he hasn't asked any questions."

"Jess I know you don't want all this shit out there but it ain't going to go away." Kozik said to me as he looked over to Happy. "Killa we gotta tell 'em."

I glanced over at Happy who was leaning against the kitchen doorway with a pissed off look on his face. "A'ight we'll fucking talk but I want everyone to know the shit that went on with Samtac will not happen with Samcro." Happy said as he pushed off the doorway and walked over to stand by the couch behind me. Jax nodded his head at Happy but Juice had a confused look on his face.

"Jess likes to fight because that's what we taught her." Kozik said as he looked over at Chibs. "Whenever the clubhouse was empty we would train her how to fight someone off and of course we taught her how to box, always watch for her fucking left hook that shit is nasty." He said trying to ease the tension in the room and when it didn't work he continued. "Being Hap's old lady she needed to know how to defend herself ya never know when it would be needed. She just took a liking to it more than we thought she would."

"Shit she started to beat anyone's ass that pissed her off. You guys have no idea how many sweetbutts she scared off because they looked at Hap wrong." Donut added to Kozik's story.

"If that's true then how come you didn't get away from Jimmy the night he stabbed you?" Juice asked with an attitude. "How the fuck was he able to drag you away?"

"I did get away from him." I snapped at him because I got offended by what he said. "When he first grabbed me it was from behind and I had been drinking for a few hours. I had sobered pretty quick when I felt the cold blade against my back. Happy was the one that taught me how to get out of being pinned to the ground when I'm on my stomach. I broke Lorca's nose a few times practicing it. That's how I knew I broke Jimmy's nose."

"Why did ya feel like ya guys need ta keep this from us?" Chibs asked. "I had thought about teaching lass some things myself. Ya had me thinking ya were soft and needed ta be taught how ta defend yourself."

"When Lee found out what we were teaching her he started to ask her for help and with me keeping her off the books and out of sight of the cops she was the perfect decoy for him." Happy said to him still sounding pissed off. "She would run diversions when he needed it."

"What the fuck is your problem using my fucking sister like that?" Juice snapped as he jumped to his feet and turned to face Happy. "What was she just a fucking piece of ass you guys decided to take advantage of!" he screamed at Happy. "You don't fucking deserve her."

"Kid ya better watch what the fuck you say to me!" Happy snapped as he quickly came around to the front of the couch. "I'll fuck your ass up."

I jumped up and stood in front of Happy before he could get to my brother and placed my hands on his chest. "Hap please don't." I said to him as I turned to face Juice. "Juice it wasn't like that."

"Then how the fuck was it cause it sounds like they were using you to me and ya fucking let 'em." Juice snapped at me. "What the fuck is your problem letting them do that to you?"

I felt Happy's body push up against my back as his arm came around my waist holding me to him as his other hand clamped around Juice's neck. "Don't fucking talk to her like that!" he snapped at Juice.

Chibs, Jax and Kozik all jumped up and quickly made their way to us. Chibs grabbed Juice and pried Happy's hand from his neck and pulled him against the wall as Jax pulled me from Happy and held me to his side as Kozik held Happy back. Donut stood in between everyone but kept his eyes on me.

"Darlin' are ya a'ight?" Jax asked looking down at me. "Ya didn't get hit by anyone did ya?"

"No I'm alright. Thanks." I said to him. "This is why I didn't want any of this to come out. I don't want them fighting each other."

But before he could say anything back Donut spoke first. "Juice it wasn't Hap." Donut said as he turned to face Juice. "Lee took advantage of her because he knew she would do anything for Hap. It put a lot of strain on their relationship because he didn't want her do the shit and she wouldn't listen to him and then things went south for them when Lee crossed the line." He said wiping his hand down his face. "Somehow she got it in her head that if she didn't help she would be considered an outsider to the club because Hap wouldn't put her on the books. I tried to tell her it didn't work like that. I think Lee was putting shit in her head."

"Can ya two play nice now?" Chibs asked and they both nodded at him. "Ya two need ta remember ya both love 'er."

"I know I do but does he really love her because he wouldn't have let that shit happen if he did." Juice snapped.

"Fuck you!" Happy snapped and pushed forward but Kozik pushed him back against the wall. "I ain't gonna touch the bastard let me go and let my old lady go." He said looking at Jax.

Juice didn't move away from the wall and Chibs stood next to him. Kozik let Happy go and went to sit down on the recliner that was next to him. Jax moved his arm from around me and I went to stand with Happy by the wall opposite of my brother. Jax just stood standing in the middle as Donut sat on the couch.

"What did Lee do to cross the line?" Jax asked as he looked at me and Happy.

"I was out with Happy on a ride when Lee called his pre-paid. He wanted Happy to meet Donut to handle some business when Happy told him he had to take me home first Lee said no that I should help." I looked over to Juice and he was glaring at me. Happy put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. "He wanted me to lure someone out of a bar so Donut and Happy can snatch him up. I did it but Happy took me straight home afterwards and then left to meet back up with Donut so I didn't know what had happen after that. I was never there when they did anything until that night. All I ever did was stall the cops, I gave them a heads up when they were being watched or got info on any names that were texted to me on a pre-paid I had."

"How were you getting all that Intel for them?" Jax asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Lee had Jess get a part-time job as file clerk at Tacoma PD." Kozik said looking up at him. "With her being in med school she couldn't do it full time.

"Who was it that they had you lure out?" he asked but also answered his own question. "Was it that rat Kevin?" I nodded my head yes. "Lee told us that it was just the two you handling that shit." He said pointing at Happy and Donut.

"He didn't want her known to anyone so he could keep using her that's why he never said shit to ya." Happy said to him as he took a quick glance at Juice. "When Jess brought Kevin out of the bar Donut jumped out too quick and that bastard grabbed Jess by the hair and pulled her towards him to hide behind her. When I saw that shit I jumped out and he flung her towards me not knowing she was with us. As I caught Jess, Donut ran and caught Kevin knocking him out and we loaded him in the van."

"Ya telling me dat rat bastard was goin' ta let ya guys hurt a lady so he could run." Chibs said shaking his head at the thought. "Dat bastard betta had paid for dat shit."

"Oh he paid, Hap made sure of that especially because of the way he manhandle her." Donut said smirking at Chibs. "Not to mention the fact he tried grabbing her ass while they were in the bar. Hap would have shot him right there if I didn't stop him."

"Before Donut and I split I told Jess that was it I wasn't going to have her ass out here helping the fucking club anymore. That's when shit went bad for us." Happy said as he looked down on me.

"Why did shit go bad?" Juice asked. "If ya wanted her to stop."

"Because your fucking sister is stubborn as hell and thought I was trying to push her away by keeping her away from Lee. So we started fighting with each other more and then when I did try to get her to come around when you were there she always had a fucking excuse on why she couldn't come. You guys know the rest of the story already, she fucking bolt on me a few months later."

"How long was this shit going on and what else did ya teach her?" Jax asked as he ran his hands through his short locks.

"A couple of years." Happy said as he ran his hand down his face. "Besides the fighting she can handle a three-eighty, a nine mil. and a forty-five." Happy said with a smirk. "I taught her some other shit but none of ya need to know about it because she ain't ever going to use it." He said in a very stern voice.

I looked over at Kozik and he shook his head because he knew what Happy was talking about. Happy with the help of Kozik had taught me different ways to get Intel from someone that wouldn't talk. That was one secret that was kept between the three of us not even Donut knew about it and Happy was keeping it that way.

"Wait a minute why didn't the job at Tacoma PD show up when I ran a background on you?" Juice asked sounding confused.

"Because Happy had Samtac's tech guy hack their data base to erase any paper trail of me working there when I had quit so if you didn't talk to anyone personally working there you weren't going to find anything about me."

"Hap do ya think Lee ran a background on Jess and knew she was Juicy boy's sister and dat's why he didn't say shit ta us about 'er?" Chibs asked.

"He told me he wouldn't do it but now that ya mention it I think he did." Happy said rubbing at his bald head. "He would get weird on me when I would try and get Jess to come meet you guys and then would be happy when she wouldn't come."

"I don't think we should tell Clay all of this." Jax said as he began to pace the living room. "We need to tell him some of it but let's not say shit at all until he starts to ask questions. We gotta hope he doesn't try and call Tacoma to get info from Lee or Lorca."

"I can't say if Lee would talk or not but I know Lorca won't he was pissed for a while at Lee for using her." Donut said looking up at Jax who was standing in front of him. "Lorca liked having Jess around and when this shit started she came around a lot less."

"Jax I'm only going to say this once, I will go Nomad and take Jess with me if Clay tries to pull any shit." Happy snapped at him.

"Ya ain't taking my sister anywhere." Juice snapped but Chibs jumped in front of him before either of them can make a move. "I ain't gonna let you hurt her anymore."

"I'm going to tell you and every other mutha fucker standing in this room." Happy snapped as he stepped forward but Kozik stepped in front of him to stop him. "She is my fucking old lady ain't no one gonna say shit to me. If I leave she fucking leaves. Shit ain't gonna repeat itself here."

"A'ight let's keep shit calm here. We will do what we can Hap. I refuse to lose ya and I'm sure every brother here feels the same." Jax said as everyone nodded to him except my brother who was still glaring at Happy. "We need to figure this shit out with their ma now."

"Jax I can't really do this right now. I need to get ready for work." I said to him as I grabbed Happy's arm and pulled on him to get him to ease the tense stance he was standing in. "You guys figure out when and where I should meet up with them. I honestly don't care I just want to get it over with already."

"A'ight darlin', Hap ya good with that." Jax asked him.

"Yeah, I'll come to the clubhouse after I take her to work. We need to talk about her ride too."

"A'ight, let's ride out." Jax said as he looked at the guys. "Hap we'll talk when ya get to TM."

"Hap I gonna head back to Tacoma I'll touch base with ya later." Donut said as he shook hands with Happy. "Sweetheart try and keep your hands to yourself." He said smirking at me as he pulled me in for a hug. "If you guys need me I'm here a'ight." We both nodded at him as he walked away.

As everyone walked out Juice didn't move he was still leaning against the wall glaring at me and Happy. "Juice I want ya to know I never saw Jess as a piece of ass. When I met her I had no intention of treating her like a fucking sweetbutt she was too good for that shit that's why I did what I could to keep our life apart from the club."

"Then how the hell did she get mixed up in that shit?" Juice snapped at him.

"I'll be the first to say it was my fault for not standing up to Lee when he first suggested having her help us. That's why I didn't want to use her as bait with Jimmy." Happy said as he ran his hands over his head. "I meant what I said if Clay tries to pull the same shit Lee did we're out of here."

"If it comes to that I want to talk to Quinn because I want out too. I'm not losing my sister again."

"Hap can we have a few moments alone please?" I asked Him and he nodded to me as he gave me a soft kiss on my lips. "Your food might need to be warmed again." I said to him as he walked in the kitchen and grunted at me.

"Jess I don't understand why you let them do that shit." He said as he sat on the arm of the couch. "You're fucking smarter than that."

"Lee told me that if I didn't help Happy would think I was weak and couldn't handle his life style. I didn't want to lose him. We had already been together for three years and he became my life."

"You should have came to me I would have helped you. I would have brought you back to Charming."

"That's why I didn't come to you. I wasn't going to leave Tacoma not without Happy." I said as I walk over to him. "You have no idea how hard it was for me to leave him when I did. If he leaves Charming I will go with him."

"Did you tell him what Lee said to you?" Juice asked me as he ignored my last statement.

"No, I didn't want to cause any problems with the club so I kept it to myself." I said to him as I sat on the edge of the coffee table in front of him. "That day I found Happy with the sweetbutt I was going there to tell him everything. All the things Lee had said to me and I was going to come clean about you. I knew we were drifting apart and I didn't want to lose him so I was going to do what I could to fix things between us and as we all know things didn't work that way so I ran."

"If Clay tries any funny shit with you ya better fucking say something to one of us." Juice said to me in a stern voice. Hearing him talk to me like that was new. We have yelled, screamed and snapped at each other but he has never pulled rank on me like this since we left New York. "I fucking mean it!"

"Don't worry I won't let that happen again."

"Ya already did!" he snapped at me. "You should have said no when we asked you about baiting Jimmy. If I would have known this shit then I would have not asked you to do it. I would have sided with Hap."

"I won't let Clay get to me but if Hap needs my help I will help him." Juice opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him by reaching up to cover his mouth. "I will only do it if Happy is the one asking not if anyone else does." He nodded his head and I removed my hand.

"A'ight I'm gonna take off. I'll call ya about this shit with ma." I nodded at him as he pulled me to my feet when he stood up. He hugged me and whispered in my ear. "Jess we stick together always."

I nodded my head as he released me and walked out the door. I stood there looking at the door for a few minutes before I turn around to see Happy standing there leaning against the kitchen door frame staring at me with a pissed off look on his face.

"Why the fuck would ya believe what Lee said to ya?" he asked me.

"I don't know." I said shrugging my shoulders at him as I turned to sit on the couch and looked over my shoulder at him. "Can you come sit with me?"

He pushed himself off the door frame and walked over to sit down next me. "Clay shouldn't be Prez much longer but I want ya to steer clear of him if ya can help it, a'ight."

"Ok I'll try. I actually have a few hours until I have to work can we just relax and watch a movie or something?" he nodded his head and turned the TV on.

We sat there watching a movie in silence close together on the couch. I lean back into him, to be more comfortable he lifted his arm to give me more space and let it loosely fall over my shoulders, while his other arm encircled my waist. We have been sitting quiet watching the movie for some time now, until I realize that his hand is gradually rubbing circles on my stomach, sending shivers up my spine. However, I try to ignore it and continue watching the TV.

**Mature**

Slowly, his hand moves up my body, stopping just on my ribs still rubbing circles. My heart is beating fast but I keep as still as possible, silently willing his hand to move up further. He makes no move for a couple of minutes, which seems like an eternity to me, but eventually his fingers move and begins to stroke my nipple, softly and slowly feeling it get harder.

I involuntarily shift my body closer to his, pressing my nipple against his hand, and he begins to press harder, more insistently, he must have realized how turned on I was becoming. His hand moved to cover my breast, tweaking my nipple slightly and my breath catches at the flood of warmth this causes. He leans his mouth down from behind and slowly kisses my neck, while he places his hand on my hip, stroking the skin under my tank top.

I let out a soft moan when his hand moves excruciatingly slow down, underneath my shorts and panties. His hand begins to gently stroke my clit, alternating between my clit and below, where I become gradually wetter. I can feel the tension building up and lift my hand to his leg, slowly moving up to the top of his leg, stroking his inner thigh, slowly and tantalizingly.

I lift my face up and kiss him softly on the mouth, running the tip of my tongue along his bottom lip. Our kissing becomes more insistent as he slowly inserts one finger in me, moving in and out slowly, his thumb gently rubbing my clit. I start to unbutton his jeans and move down under his boxers, avoiding his hard cock, down to stroke his inner thigh, making him moan with frustration. He adds a second finger and again I feel myself building up, knowing I was driving him crazy with frustration.

I remove both of our hands and turn to look at him for a long moment, gauging how frustrated I made him by removing his hand from me. After seeing the look of disbelief on his face I climb on top of him, kissing him hard, while he strokes my nipples and pulls off my tank top. I move my lips from his mouth, and kiss across the line of his jaw and start to trail kisses down his neck and his neckline, stopping to pull off his T-shirt. My lips move down and I lay soft kisses across the writing on his collarbone. With my tongue I slowly lick down the body of his snake stopping to nip his body in different spots, before moving onto his stomach.

I kneel down on the floor and tug off his jeans and boxers, while he lifts his hips to help me. I move my tongue up his thigh slowly, while he watches me and places his hand on my head, softly stroking my hair. I finally reach his cock and run my tongue around the rim, making him gasp and lift his hips, pushing himself into my mouth. I move him more and more into my mouth, flicking my tongue up and down the shaft, at the same time slowly sucking the top of his cock. His hand grips my head more insistently and gently pushes me further down. I moan softly, knowing the effect I had on him and slowly angle my throat until my mouth reaches the bottom of his cock, his hands suddenly clench and releases his hold on my head.

I move back up to the top, licking up with my tongue and around the top, then back down again, sucking harder and harder each time. At the same time, my hand reaches down between his thighs and strokes him, moving between his thighs and the bottom of his cock, in rhythm with my mouth.

He eventually pulls me back up on top of him, removing my shorts and panties, inserting his fingers back into me, making me wet while I moan from the pleasure. He removes his fingers and positions me on top of him, moving the tip into my throbbing pussy, but no more, looking me in the eyes, waiting for me to beg for him to continue. I give a sob of frustration and as he grips my hips roughly and he pushes me down on top of him with force and we both moan in relief.

I start to move up and down him as we kiss each other intensely, his hand like vice grips on my hips. He pushes his cock deeper into me by lifting his hips and pushing me down, while I feel myself building up as he thrusts harder and faster. My breathing becomes more ragged and out of control until he makes the one last deep thrust and I fall over the edge, climaxing hard, throbbing for a minute. He waits for it to subside, stroking my back and finally I lift my head and smile at him.

I climb off him and move back, lying on the floor and he gets up and follows me to the floor sliding back into me as he laid on top, kissing my neck while slowly moving in and out of me. He lifts my knee, leaning it against his chest so that his cock reaches deeper into me and I gasp in surprise and pleasure, the feeling slightly too intense after my previous climax. His hand reaches down to stroke my clit while he begins to move faster, getting harder inside me, as his climax builds, and I once again start to become wetter and tighter. He grips my wrists above my head so I couldn't move and fucks me harder, until he knows I was about to orgasm again, when he finally climaxes, feeling my walls grip him from my own climax. Both of us collapse together, side by side. I roll into his arms and he holds me, the both of us lying in silence and happy contentment.

**END**

"Damn Girl do ya know how long it's been since ya done that shit to me?" He said to me. His voice sounding raspier than usual, as he was still trying to catch his breath.

"Yeah I think it was a week before I left Tacoma." I said as I smirked at him still breathing heavy myself. "Did you miss it?"

**Happy POV**

"Fuck yeah I missed that shit." I said to her as I rolled back on top of her and kissed her. Having her lips wrapped around my cock was something I thought I would never feel again. "Why did ya make me wait so fucking long for?" I dipped my head down and bit her breast.

"Owww…." she screamed as she smacked my sweaty back and tried to wiggle from under me. "That's going to leave a mark Hap."

"On my back or tit?" I said smirking at her while I pushed my body down to stop her from moving.

"Both." She said smirking back at me. "I need to shower and get ready for work."

I stood up and pulled her with me. "We can shower together." I said as I ran my hands down her back to her thighs easily lifting her up and she wrapped her legs around my hips.

I carried her upstairs and into the bathroom. After another round of sex in the shower we both cleaned up and got out. She got dressed in her scrubs as I put on my jeans and t-shirt. When we were both dressed and ready we went down stairs I grabbed a beer from the fridge as she pick up our clothes from earlier. A few minutes later we were on our way to the hospital to drop her off.

"I get off at midnight again, are you picking me up?" She asked as she climbed off and handed my helmet to me.

"Yeah I'll be here but if I'm busy I'll have patch member pick ya up." I said as I pulled her close to me. "I'll call ya when we figure out what to do about your ma." She nodded her head and gave me a kiss before backing away and going inside.

"I quickly made my way to TM and parked my bike when I got there. Walking over to the garage I saw Clay and Gemma talking quietly off to the side of the office door, Gemma said something to him and he turned and glanced at me. When he saw me looking at them he quickly turned back to her.

I walked over to Tig who was working on a cage. "Hey what's up with them?" I said nodding my head in Clay's direction.

"I have no idea brother." Tig said standing up straight. "There are a lot of secrets going on around here and ain't no one clueing a brother in." he said sounding upset as he walked away from me.

I stood there watching his retreating back. I almost felt bad for not saying shit to him because he always had my back but he was Clay's right hand and I had to keep this shit from Clay as long as I could. I didn't want to go against the charter Prez and I didn't want to go against my old lady so I was in a fucking tough spot. I felt the need to kill someone to relief the fucking stress I felt.

I quickly came out of my thoughts when I felt someone's presents next to me. "What's on ya mind brotha?" Chibs said as he wiped his hand on a rag. I just shook my head at him. "I know ya reasons for keeping that shit quiet but ya should have told us about 'er being there when ya snatched up dat rat. Shit would have been dealt wit differently."

"I ain't got time for this." I said as I walked away from him. "I got shit to work out with Jax."

I walked over to the picnic table where Jax was sitting. "Jax we need to talk." I said as I sat next to him.

"Yeah I know ya said something about Jess's ride. We can take her to get one once we finish this shit with her ma." He said turning to face me.

"It ain't about that." I said as he raised his eyebrow at me. "Your ma told my old lady that Clay said she had to get a cage with more space in case she needs to fit us in it. It ain't goin' to happen Jax."

"I had no idea they said that." He said as he ran his hands through his hair. "I'll make sure she gets the ride she wants. Now let's talk about her ma, I asked Juice about it and he thinks we should meet at the diner."

"What about that bitch Cassie?" I asked him as I still watched Gemma and Clay talking. "Jess has to stay clear of her for a while."

"I know I had Donut call her before he left back to Tacoma this afternoon. He said she's off of work in two days. We can take care of this shit then." Jax said to me as I turned my attention back to him. "Hap don't worry about Clay we got this shit handled."

"How long do ya think we can keep this from him?" I asked him.

"I'm hoping we can keep it quiet until we find a way for us to vote him down." Jax said as we saw Clay walking our way.

"Jax I need some of you to make a run to Nevada." He said looking at the two of us. "Take Hap, Juice and Chibs with you."

"Clay that can't happen we got this shit with Jess and Juice we need to take care of." Jax said as he stood up. "We also got that meet with the Irish."

"I know ya said you guys ain't doing it for two days. If ya fucking leave now ya can be back by tomorrow for the meet." He snapped at Jax. "Club business comes first." Then he walked away from us.

**Jessica POV**

My day hasn't been too bad but I have learned to never get my hopes up because anything can change in a heartbeat around this town. Tara and I have crossed paths a few times but we still didn't talk much more than a hello and goodbye. I haven't seen or heard from Lyla in a couple days which was odd we normally spoke at least once a day and I couldn't figure out why she has been MIA on me. I had to make it a point to call her once I got a break today. I was sitting in the nurse's pod when Happy and Jax walked in.

"Jess we gotta talk." Happy said as Jax walked down the hall towards Tara who was walking our way. "I gotta go to Nevada right now."

"What? How long are you supposed to be gone for and how the hell am I getting home?" I asked as I tried to control my anger I didn't want him going on run before we had time to talk about that shit.

"I'll be back tomorrow, calm the hell down. I don't want to go but Clay is making me." He snapped at me.

"I'll give her a ride." Tara said as her and Jax walked in the nurse's pod. "I get off at eleven but I can hang around until Jess gets off. I'm going to get back to work."

"A'ight Rat and Phil will be here at midnight. Tara, Rat is going to stay with you and Jess ya got Phil again." Jax said as he smiled at us. "Let's go the faster we fucking get shit done the faster we could get back here."

Happy walked over to me and pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear. "Keep your fucking eyes open on everything around ya." He kissed my neck and whispered in my ear again. "I got my phone call me once you're in the house and don't fucking sit there thinking shit, I ain't going out there to fuck anyone ya got my word on that." He pulled back and kissed my lips then walked away with Jax.

When work was over Tara came over and we walked out to the parking lot and saw the two prospects leaning against their bikes waiting for us. The ride home wasn't too bad a little awkward because Tara and I didn't talk but I was ok with that. When she pulled up to my house I climbed out of the car and thanked her. She nodded her head at me and pulled off, Phil parked his bike in the driveway and we both went in the front door.

"Did you want a beer?" I asked Phil as I shut the door behind us. When I turned back to walk towards the kitchen I bumped into Phil's back because he had stopped walking. "What the hell you can't stop in the mid….." I stopped talking when I seen what stopped him.

"Prospect go outside and wait." Clay said glaring at Phil. "Baby girl and I need to talk."
