I don't own any of the SOA characters.


Piney had attended Bobby's funeral along with the rest of the Charming Charter but his mind had been on Juice. He knew that the kid wasn't going any where but for the last two weeks he had been at the hospital everyday visiting him. He knew what the others thought that he was losing it but as he told them it gave him something to do, besides none of them had been in to see the kid much. Opie and Jax had popped in a couple of times but the others had not been in once. Even Gemma and Clay had not been back since the night/morning he had been admitted. It was as if they didn't care, he knew that wasn't the case they had been busy sorting things out, getting the insurance people to come out and access the damage to the garage, arranging Bobby's funeral, which had thankfully gone off without a hitch. Despite the MAYANS turning up unexpectedly, that could have one of two ways thankfully it had not resulted in violence. The biggest surprise had been David Hale coming the funeral to pay his respects and saying how sorry he was, to Clay afterwards.

After the service all the SONS had returned to the clubhouse, intending to celebrate again Bobby's life. The beers had been flowing and music blared out but despite this there was a somberness and an air of reminiscence to the party, that was not normally to be found at a SONS party but then this was not a normal SONS party. Tig and Happy were getting slowly smashed over in the corner watching a strpper called Lois, who had been a particular favourite of Bobby's. As she gyrated around the pole, Tig followed her every move like a puppy following a bone. Unfortunetly for Tig, due to the amount of alchohol that he had consumed he hadn't realised that as he leant to the side there was no longer any couch under him and he fell off it. Landing in a heap on the floor he just laid there, too smashed to care about getting up.

Beaver was sitting at the bar with Piney and Clay, when he spotted one of the New York members, Reaper, heading out of the door. He knew where Reaper was going, he was going to the hospital to see Juice. When the New York Charter had arrived the night before the NY Prez had asked Clay , after Bobby's funeral and before they had left Charming to return to the Big Apple, if Juice could use his magic with the internet to check something out for them only to be told that Juice was in the hospital. Beaver had noticed that one of the NY members looked quite distressed when they had all heard this and while at Bobby's funeral he had asked the Prez, Ringo why the young man had looked as devastated as he had. He had been quite surprised when he had learned who the young man was but looking more closely at him when he had been at the funeral, he had seen the resemblance.


Reaper had just got to the hospital when his phone went off, he pulled his phone out to see the number and recognised it straight away.

"Hey Sis, How are you doing?"

He listened for a few minutes before answering his sister again.

"I'm at the hospital now...no I haven't seen Jaun Carlos yet."

He held the phone away from his ear as his sister went into one of her rants. Waited a few minutes for her to calm down and then continued with what he was going to say.

"I had to go to Bobby's funeral and show my respects first. We didn't get here until really late last night and visiting hours are only till 9pm here. Anyway from what they said at the Charming Clubhouse, He's been in a coma since the quake so he wouldn't have noticed if I was here or not. As soon as I've seen him I'll let you know how he is."

Sighing he put his phone away and entered the hospital, he had found out from Ringo which room Juice was in and after checking with the Nurse at the nurses station he entered Juice's room. The sight of Juice just lying there, silent and unmoving almost broke him. Walking over to the bed, he clutched one of Juice's limp and lifeless hands and looking down at him he murmurred.

"Oh Jaun Carlos, what have you done to yourself?"

"Excuse me, it's family only in here."

Reaper turned round and saw a female doctor standing behind him. He realised after a minute that he recognised her, it was Jax Tellers old lady.

"I know...I am family."

Tara had been surprised to see someone in Juice's room, she had known that Piney wouldn't be in tonight he was at the Clubhouse saying his final goodbyes to Bobby. When the young man had turned and smiled at her, she saw what Beaver had mean't when he had said he had seen the resemblance. It was the smile on the young man's face.


A/N Just who is Reaper and what is his connection to Juice. If you think you know, review and tell me what you think it is.
