JJ-Jefferu: So here's chapter two of the new story. I will post chapter 3 tomorrow.
Disclaimer!~: I do NOT own Sons of Anarchy, it is owned by Kurt Stutter and broadcast on the FX Network. I only view the show. I do not own any trademark movies/shows/books/music or anything else that is easily recognizable either. However the plotline for this story does belong to me. Aisha belongs to Angel N Darkness as does the general information about Aisha. Jerry, Tabby, and Mary technically, belong to Angel N Darkness as well but I am the one who named them so...Yeah.
I apologize in advance for any mistakes. This was not proofed by my proofer. Enjoy.
Three weeks had passed since the incident at Haven and Aisha hadn't seen Happy or Ashley. She had tried calling the older woman but her phone was out of service. She was starting to get worried; Ashley had never done this before. Today was the day the bar was usually closed, it being Monday and all. Aisha was taking her Ford Focus to Teller-Morrow(TACOMA)* garage because her brakes were acting up. Jerry, her nephew, was four and he was playing with his Optimus Prime Transformer, while his sister; two year old Tabby was suckling on her pacifier looking out the window. It was only a fifteen minute drive from Haven to the garage.
Pulling up into the garage Aisha noticed that it wasn't very busy and that Ashley's Jeep was parked in one of the bays, with a lot of damage done to it. This worried the blonde even more. As put the car into park near an empty bay, a man she had never seen here before came towards her. Stepping from the car, Aisha waited until the man reached her before she spoke.
"Is this a bad time to get my brakes looked at?" Aisha asked the blue eyed man. He looked her over and then to the back seat of her car and shook his head.
"Naw, it's not a bad time. We aren't that busy today. If you give me the keys I'll go take a look at them right now." He said. Aisha smiled and handed over her keys to the tall man.
"Thanks, I'm scared something was going to happen as I drove here." Aisha opens the driver door and grabs her messenger bag and shuts the door before opening the back passenger door. "I would've hated for anything to have happened to the kids."
"They yours," the man asks as he watches her pull out a baby bag and unclipped Tabby from her car seat and gentle picked her up.
"They are my niece and nephew but I take care of them." Aisha says glancing briefly at the man. "Jerry go ahead and take your seatbelt off I'll be around there in a second." She tells her nephew before closing the door.
"That's nice of your. Where are their parents?" The man was awful nosy, at least in Aisha's opinion as she walked the back of the car and to the door to let Jerry out.
"I don't think it's any of your business where their parents are. I don't know you and you don't know me." Aisha tells him as she grabs her nephew's hand after he closes the door to the car.
"No need to get an attitude darlin'. The names Tig," The man, Tig replied. Aisha rolled her eyes.
"Aisha," Aisha said and walked towards the office. "Take care of my car," She yelled over her shoulder. Reaching the office she nearly walked into someone who was exiting the office.
"Sorry," a familiar voice said. Aisha looked at the man. Her eyes widen; it was Happy. He looked awful.
"It's fine. I wasn't really paying attention either," Aisha said and stepped around the bald biker and into the office.
"Good morning," Donut greeted the blonde.
"Mornin' Donut," Aisha said smiling at the big biker. She always liked him. He was nice and took to her like a brother. Plus he had a soft spot for Tabby.
"You brought the babies to see me," Donut joked. He knew why she was here, even if she had only told him it was because her car was acting up. He knew Aisha pretty well in the three years they had known each other. He was the one who introduced Ashley to her.
"Yes, because they missed their Uncle Do." Aisha said and handed Tabby off to Donut. "No, but seriously my car needs the brakes checked out. But then again I'm sure you know the other reason I'm here." Aisha says sitting Jerry down in the chair at the desk.
"Yeah, it's not hard to figure it out Ai, especially with how well I know you." Donut says cooing at Tabby who was smiling at him. "You'd have to talk to Kozik or Happy. But my bet would be to talk to Happy. Kozik hasn't been around lately since it happened."
"Why the hell can't you just tell me Timothy," Aisha said using his real name, she was pissed. He was eluding that something bad happened but he wasn't telling her. Donut looked up at her and sad expression on his face.
"I want to tell you Ai, but I can't. Happy and Kozik made everyone swear to not say anything more to anyone than they needed to speak to one of them. Happy just left the office and was heading to where Tig is working on your Focus. Why don't you go catch him before he takes off again. I'll watch Jerry and Tabby," Donut tells her. Aisha sighs, seeing the truth in her best friend's eyes.
"Fine, but keep them in your sight. I don't want another incident happening," Aisha says teasingly as she heads out of the office and towards where her Focus was being looked at.
Walking back across the parking lot towards the building that housed the repairs, Aisha noticed that Happy and Tig were both talking. Happy's back was to her so she couldn't see what his facial expression was but could tell by how tense he looked whatever Tig had said to him smugly, by the look on the blue eyed man's face, was not sitting well with Happy. When she was two feet away from the two men, the sound of generic rock music started to play. Feeling her phone vibrating in her pocket along with the music alerted the blond that her phone was ringing.
"Hello," Aisha answered the phone.
Happy had turned to look at the woman he just heard speak. He was about to say something to her, when he noticed a black phone to her ear. Her facial expression seemed to go change so fast. It went from neutral to pissed to scared to angry.
"What the fuck do you mean he fucking escaped three weeks ago and you're just now fucking phone me about this shit," Aisha yelled into the phone at the cop who was informing her of her brother-in-law's escape from a prison transport three weeks prior. "Oh so it's my fault, is it? Right, let me talk to Detective Simmons and don't give me some bullshit that he's out." Aisha says into the phone. "Detective Simmons it's good to hear from you; now do you mind explaining why I am just know finding out about Daniels escape if it happened three weeks ago." Aisha said calmly into the phone.
Both Sons watched the conversation in curiosity. Tig was curious because this was the girl who had somehow entranced the clubs killer. Not that she wasn't attractive, but she didn't seem to be Happy's type. And out of all the years that Tig had known Happy never once did he seem the type to go after a woman caring for kids. Happy on the other hand was curious as to why the police would be calling her about an escaped prisoner.
"Well then why did it take three weeks for this phone call to happen." Aisha asked. It was quiet for a few minutes before her eyes widen. "He did what," tears started to cascade down from her eyes. "No, why," she tried to keep the sob out of her voice. Aisha sniffled. "I see. Yes I'll be heading that way in a few minutes. I need to call a cab. Yes thank you." Aisha hung up the phone and turned away from the two Sons and headed back towards the office, towards her brother.
Detective Simmons had informed her that Daniel had escaped three weeks ago during a prison transport. He was being taken to the court house, new evidence had been found that could give him a life sentence instead of the twenty-five years he was serving for murdering her sister Mary. It took them a while to contact her because Daniel had attacked one of her employees: Ashley Jones, not that had realized it at the time. And someone in their department was working for Daniel and torched the files that pertained to Aisha. Now she didn't even have to talk with Happy to know what happened to Ashley. She was heading to the hospital now to check on Ashley and Detective Simmons was meeting her there.
"That was-," Donut starts as Aisha enters the office but stops when he see the tears on her face. "What happened Aisha? Did Hap tell you what happened to Ashley?" Donut asks setting Tabby down on the floor and walking towards his sister. Aisha shakes her head.
"It's my fault Tim," Aisha says crying more. "She got hurt because of me." Donut quickly crosses the rest of the distance between the two and pulls her into his arms.
"Don't blame yourself for this Aisha. It's not your fault." Donut tries to sooth her.
"But it is," Aisha mumbles into his chest. "If you hadn't introduced us, then she wouldn't have been there the night that Daniel killed Mary and he wouldn't have attacked her to get to me." Aisha whispers so softly that Donut barely heard her.
"No it isn't. You can't blame yourself for that bastards actions; he not only killed Mary in cold blood but went after you and Ash. Him hurting her now is not your fault either. So stop blaming yourself for this." Donut says looking down at her. Aisha looks up at him and sniffles.
"I need a ride to the hospital and someone to watch Jerry and Tabby." Aisha says. "I need to see for myself what he did to Ash and talk to Detective Simmons."
"I'll take you. Kerry is laid up in the clubhouse. I'm sure she wouldn't mind watching them for you." Donut tells her. Aisha nods. "Ok let me just go get her, ok. Don't move from this office, understand."
"Yes daddy," Aisha says sarcastically to him.
"I will spank you if you do," he said jokingly back to her, hoping to get a smile out of her. Aisha laughed.
"Alright Doe, go get the terror." Aisha says and Donut walks out. Aisha goes and sits down in the other chair next to Jerry and pulls Tabby into her arms.
!_!
Aisha was back at the bar. Ashley was healing nicely, according to the doctors, but still looked in bad shape. She told Kozik that Ashley wasn't needed at the bar anymore and gave him a hefty sum of money for her. She couldn't stand that her best friend was seriously injured because of her. A knock on the back door to the bar brings her out of her thoughts and her attention turns to the back door. She was slightly scared that it was Daniel. So she picked up the bat that she kept by the door and slowly opened it. To her shock it was Daniel standing there but Happy.
"Happy, what are you doing here?" Aisha asks him, stepping back to let him in the building.
"Thought I'd come check on you. Kozik said you left the hospital in a hurry before he could try and give you the money back that you gave him." Happy says taking off his hoodie, which was soaked due to the pouring rain outside.
"Did you ride here in the rain?" Aisha asked changing the subject off the money she had given to Kozik for Ashley.
"Yeah, like I said I thought I'd come check on you." Happy replies. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Aisha shrugged, lying.
"Then why did you give Kozik that money for Ashley?" Happy asks. He knew she was lying but wasn't going to push her.
"It's Ashley's pay along with a bit of extra cash so that she can recuperate and not have to worry about money," Aisha told Happy, not exactly lying, but not telling him the whole truth.
"Are you sure that's all?" Happy asks, still not completely believing her.
"Yes, I'm sure Happy. You can leave now as you can see I'm fine." Aisha said and turned away from the biker and started to walk back into the main room of the bar. She didn't get too far before she was grabbed and pulled into a muscular chest.
"Who said that's all I came here for," he whispered into her ear, causing a shiver to run down her spine.
