...Chapter 5...

Alex was the first person through the door, then she suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared down at Olivia's lifeless body on the bed. She couldn't understand why this happened or who would do such a thing. The mini vacation was supposed to be fun, but not anymore. "No." she whispered to herself.

"Hey, Alex?" she slowly looked over at the older man in a tan uniform. "Would you be able to identify the second victim? He.. is in the storage closet." she nodded, then followed him. "He was beaten as well."

Alex looked at the bloody man and gasped. "No.. that's.. that's my friend, Carter." she suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe. "He wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow night. Carter! NO!" then she lunged at him, screaming and crying.

"Jax!" Unser yelled. "Get in here!"

"What?" he came in from outside and rushed in to see what was going on. He saw Alex being hysterical over a man's dead body. "Who is that?"

Unser shrugged. "It's safe to say that she knows him.. her friend, Carter."

A little while later, it took Jax, Happy, Tig, Chibs, and a couple of the officers to pull Alex off of Carter. Jax had Tig stay outside with her, so she could calm down. Once Reese found out that the other body was Carter, she completely lost it and Juice just held her to help calm her down as well.

After Jax called Clay to tell him what's been going on, he went over to Alex and stood next to he, but said nothing. "This.. this is all my fault." she whispered, breaking the silence.

"No, it's not."

"Yes, Jax, it is.. it was my idea to come up here in the first place. I should have just mailed the box, but because of me, my friends are dead."

"Alex." Jax groaned.

"No." she shook her head. "It should have been me, not them." he was about to respond, but Tig shook his head. Suddenly, she turned around and went back into the motel room to talk to Unser and Jax followed. "When can I get our stuff out of here?"

"When the crime scene is processed and finished.. I'll let you know."

"Can I grab my hoodie?"

"Hey." Jax grabbed her arm. "Take mine."

"Fine.. and can I have my cell phone?"

"Yeah." he took it out of his pocket and gave it to her, then took off his cut and then his hoodie. "Here."

Alex took it and put it on. Before she walked outside, she took one last look at Olivia and walked out. Moments later, her phone rang. She didn't even bother answering it, but after the fourth time, she pressed the talk button. "What?!" she kinda yelled.

"Hey, it's me.. what are you doing?"

"What do you want, Nick?"

"I called to apologize."

Alex scoffed. "For what? Being an ass?"

"Yeah, so how are things in California?"

"Things are fantastic." she lied, trying to keep herself from falling apart.

"Anything exciting happen?"

"Nope." she lied again.

"Oh." Nick replied, sounding a little disappointed.

"Alex, come in here for a second!" Jax yelled out.

"Look, I gotta go."

"Now.. who the hell was that?" Nick demanded. "Another damn guy calling for you?!"

"It's not important."

"The hell it ain't, Alex."

"I thought you called me to apologize? But instead, you're talking shit? You're such a dick. Quit calling me and bringing me down with your bullshit. Leave me the fuck alone." she hung up on him and shut off her phone, before going back into the motel room, then went up to Jax and Unser, but this time, Olivia was in a body bag. "What?" she asked.

"The crime scene unit." Unser started. "Will be done in 24 to 48 hours, then you can come back and get your things."

"Can I use the bathroom? Or will I contaminate the crime scene?"

"Uh, yeah." Unser nodded. "Go ahead." after she walked in and shut the door, he turned to Jax. "Is she gonna be okay?"

"Don't know." he shrugged.

"Who is she?"

"You remember Uncle Tom? He was First 9."

"Yeah, wow." Unser slightly shook his head. "That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. He was never charged for any of those crimes.. he always managed to slip through the cracks.. so, what does he have to do with Alex?"

"She's his granddaughter."

"Ah, okay." Unser nodded. "She has his eyes."

All of a sudden, both of them heard glass break, two different times, followed by a loud scream coming from the bathroom. "Shit." Jax ran over and knocked on the door. "Alex open up."

"No!" she yelled. "Go away!"

"Open the door!"

"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"

Jax had enough, he needed to get in there to see what was broken and if Alex was alright, so he burst the door open and saw the mirror shattered and Alex sitting on the ground, against the wall, looking down at her bloody hand. "Shit, are you okay?"

Alex slowly looked up at him incredulously. "What the fuck do you think? I just lost my friends and I told you to leave me alone." his face fell, then she grabbed one of the toilet paper rolls and threw it at him. "Get out!"

"Alright, alright.. Jesus!" he got out and Alex slammed the door behind him.

"Jax, she needs to get out of there."

"I'll get her." he went back to the bathroom door. "Alex, Unser said that we gotta go."

"Then go!"

"Shit." he groaned and walked outside. "Hey, Tig?"

"Yeah?"

"Alex needs to get out of the bathroom, so the crime unit can get started, and she won't come out."

"I'm on it." Tig went inside and knocked on the door. "Hey, Alex.. how 'bout you come out of there."

There was a long pause, before she spoke. "Fine."

Tig opened the door and saw Alex on the floor, holding her bloody hand. "What did you do?"

"Got in a fight with the mirror.. the mirror won."

"Oh." he knelt down beside her. "You need to get that looked at. I'll take you to the hospital." she nodded, then Tig helped her up with her free hand, and she walked outside.

"Where is she going?" Jax was about to follow her, but Tig grabbed his arm. "What?"

"I'm taking her to the hospital to get her hand looked at."

"I'll take her."

"Jax." Tig slightly shook his head. "It doesn't look like she wants to be around you right now." he lightly squeezed his shoulder. "I'll keep her safe."

"Alright." he heavily sighed. "Then bring her back to the clubhouse."

"You got it, Brother." Tig said, before walking outside.

...

Juice shut the door to his dorm room and went over to the bar where Jax, Chibs, and Happy were sitting. "She finally fell asleep." he said, as he sat down on the bar stool.

"How is she?"

Juice glanced at Chibs. "Not good.. and from what Reese told me, their friend Carter wasn't supposed to be here until sometime tomorrow night."

"Well." Jax shook his head. "Somethings not adding up."

"Do they have any leads?" Happy asked, taking a sip of his beer.

"Nope, nothing." Jax replied. "But Unser will tell me when they find something." he paused. "We need to figure out who did this and why, because whoever it is, could come after Alex and Reese next. I'm not gonna let that happen."

"Neither are we." Juice slightly shook his head.

...

Alex and Tig have been waiting in the exam room for the past four hours and in that time, they took Alex's vitals and did an x-ray on her hand. "So." Tig started, breaking the awkward silence. "What does godfather duties consist of?"

Alex slowly looked up. "You don't have to.. you're off the hook."

"No, no.. I'm following through with Uncle Tom's wishes."

"Okay." she sighed. "Fine."

A few minutes later, the door opened and Tig did a little wave. "Tara."

"Tig?" she raised her eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"

"Moral support for my goddaughter."

"Oh." she slightly nodded, then glanced down at the chart in her hand. "Alexandra James?"

"That's me.. but call me Alex."

"Okay, I'm Dr. Knowles.. you'll need some stitches on your knuckles and a cast on your wrist. It's broken."

"Fantastic." she groaned.

"Let me take a look." Tara went up to her and lightly grabbed her hand. "How exactly did this happen?"

"Well." Alex sighed. "I was pissed off and got into a fight with the mirror. I probably could have made it worse, if I punched Jax in the face. I mean, I was this close and he wouldn't stop buggin' me."

Tara raised her eyebrow. "How do you know Jax?" she paused, realizing what Alex was wearing. "Where did you get that hoodie?"

"I was cold and I couldn't get to mine, so Jax gave me his." Alex shrugged.

"Oh." Tara nodded, then let go of her hand. "While I make out your prescriptions, a nurse will come in to stitch you up and put on your cast." she grabbed the chart. "Then you're free to go, excuse me."

Alex watched her leave the room, then looked over at Tig. "What was that about?"

"It was awkward." Tig chuckled. "Her and Jax go way back.. but ever since she had an abortion with Jax's child, while him and the guys were in Belfast finding his son, Abel - who was kidnapped - he never forgave her."

"Jax's son was kidnapped?" Alex repeated. "Did he find him? Is he okay?"

"Yeah.. he's back home and safe."

Alex was relieved. "How long ago did this happen?"

"About 2 months ago."

"Wow." Alex slightly shook her head. "And she had an abortion on top of almost losing his other child.. that's crazy."

"Yeah." Tig agreed. "Both situations was fucked up all around."

Suddenly, the door opened and a nurse walked in with a cart. "Hello, my name is Susan and I'm here to stitch you up and put on your cast.. what color would you like?"

...

It was around 8:15am, when Juice got back from Starbucks. He took Alex's jeep and parked it in it's spot, before going into the clubhouse. With two coffees in hand, he went into his room and saw Reese with a blank stare. "Here.. I got you this." he sat down next to her on the bed. "You okay?"

"I don't.. I don't know." she took the cup from him and took a little sip. "Where's Alex?"

"Tig took her to the hospital."

Reese's eyes widened. "What? Why?"

"Alex punched the mirror in the bathroom a few times and the shards of glass cut her up."

"Oh." there was a long pause before Reese spoke. "Why did this happen to my friends? They were good people.. they did nothing wrong to anybody. Especially, Carter.. he was the sweetest guy ever."

"Hey." Juice grabbed her free hand and lightly squeezed. "The club and I will found out who did this and we'll take care of it."

"I hope so, because they didn't deserve this." a few minutes later, Reese's phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hey, what's going on over there? I tried calling Alex, but she didn't answer and neither did Olivia."

"Uh, hey, Zachary.. Alex is a little busy at the moment."

"Well, what's wrong? You sound weird."

"Can I.. can I talk to you later?" Reese tried holding the tears back, but it wasn't working. "I gotta.. I gotta go. I'll have Alex give you a call." then she hung up on him and collapsed in Juice's arms, crying her eyes out.
