"How did Drea's cop party go last night?" Clay asked Jax as they sat in the meeting room waiting for Bobby who was late. Opie, Chibs, Tig, Happy, and Piney all sat around the table with Clay and Jax.
"Before or after her father showed up with her mother to tag team her to stay?" Jax said rolling his eyes.
"Jesus, he must really hate you if he's working with that witch." Piney said in shock. He knew his cop brother was not going to like Andy going to the dark side as he called it, but uniting with Andy's mother after what she did to Andy is a new low.
"It's not like he's fond of you either, dad." Opie pointed out. As Piney shut up because he was right.
"Drea handle her mother ok?" Opie asked while taking a smoke.
"She had never told her mother she was moving to begin with, she said she'd tell her but she forgot until her father showed up with her at the party."
"Oh shit." Opie said stifling a laugh.
"Bitch deserves that." Piney said as Clay nodded his head. "Gemma's going to love that." Clay added.
"Well that just made things more tense, Drea's version of what happened is more watered down than what Juice said. She said they tried to talk to her and she told them she didn't want to hear it, so either stop and stay for her party or leave. Juice says they cornered her and at first Andy seemed apologetic and trying to diffuse the situation. Then something snapped." Jax explained.
"Snapped?" Opie questioned.
"Don't know, her mother must have said something to trigger her because Juice said he never saw Drea like that, he said if she had a gun he would have expected her to pull it out at that moment. Said she went stone cold, Drea said something coldly threatening to them both and walked away from them."
"Juice is new to Drea, he's never seen her like we have. Never seen her grab a gun and shoot a Mayan. He's never seen her reaction when someone tries to hurt her family." Tig pointed out as Jax just nodded his head knowing Tig was right.
"Where was Juice and Halfsack during this party?" Tig asked confused how Drea was being protected and watched in a room of cops.
"They were there, in a corner. Plain clothes dressed, acting like they didn't know her. They came in staggered. Nobody made them at all." Jax pointed out as Tig nodded.
"They just have to make it one more day." Chibs said out. Seeing that Jax looked a little worried.
"One more day." Jax repeated. "I don't know man, keep waiting for something to go wrong with this move. She was freaked out at Halfsack and Juice being there last night or being seen in her apartment. None of it's happened yet, but the second they all put their guards down..." Jax said trailing off.
"Just got to make sure they keep their guards up until they're in that plane tomorrow." Clay pointed out.
Andy kept doing a walk through the apartment making sure that she had everything. She had gotten it sold with a great deal, signing the paperwork early this morning. It was all going to be processed and dealt with and there was nothing else she had to do except sign off on the last paper work before the funds transfer. Her realtor was going to email her that paperwork and all she'd have to do is fax it back.
Instead of going out that morning for breakfast she cooked all the left over food she had in the fridge because she had to get rid of it all. The plan for the day was to clean the apartment and eat. They'd go out for dinner and drinks later.
They each took a room and right when Andy was throwing some more old mementos in a pile she heard a knock on the door. She was the closest to the door, Juice was in the bathroom and Halfsack in the kitchen. Nobody even bothered with grabbing a gun anymore with the door because it always turned out to be a cop. She slowly walked over to the peep hole, her eyes going instantly wide.
Last person she'd ever expect at her door was Blackstone, the current head of Guns&Gangs, their version of ATF.
She stuck her hand in the air in a stop signal to Halfsack, halting his moves of cleaning. Blackstone knocked again, causing Juice this time to come out of the bathroom and seeing her hand in the air. She brought her hand to her lips to show them not to make any noise.
She stood there frozen waiting for Blackstone to move, but he continued to wait by the door.
They were not friends, he was not here to wish her well on moving to California.
He was not here to convince her to stay. If the head of the ATF Gang division was at her door it could only be for one reason.
He knew something, either about her and Jax, Jax and Opie staying at her apartment, about SAMCRO, about Charming.
She didn't know what he knew and she wasn't going to open the door to ask him.
A few minutes later she heard the footsteps leaving, looking out the peep hole and seeing that he had gone. She slowly walked closer to the window to see if she could see him leaving. Seeing Blackstone pulling out his cellphone outside, making a call, having a quick conversation and then getting in his car to drive off. Not wanting to take any risks, she pointed to her bedroom and quietly walked in there, Juice and Halfsack following. Locking the door behind them.
"Who was that? You went white as a ghost!" Juice asked whispering.
"Head of ATF." Andy whispered to him watching both their eyes go wide and look at each other. Andy instantly grabbed her laptop and opened up the internet browser, going to the airlines homepage.
"What do you want to do? What do they know?"
"Have no idea, but what ever it is it cannot be good since I'm not a cop anymore. There's no reason for him to be on my doorstep. We need to go now!" She said while logging into their flight itinerary and trying to find a sooner flight. There was no point in waiting around, they'd be sitting ducks and she didn't want them to get time to get warrants.
Everyone knew she was leaving tomorrow, that gave them some time to slip out early without anyone knowing.
Juice and Halfsack both left the room to grab all the bags, the ones by the door were all packed and ready. Halfsack quickly packed up his stuff in his duffel while Juice also did the same.
The next flight for Sacramento wasn't for another 5 hours. She quickly changed her search to check for something else, finding one to Oakland that was leaving in 3 hours. She quickly changed hers, Juice's and Halfsacks flights from tomorrow to Sacramento to in 3 hours to Oakland. Checking in online and processing their boarding passes. The printer was gone and probably in Iowa or somewhere by now she thought, they'd have to print the boarding passes at a kiosk at the airport.
Andy shut her laptop and grabbed her cell phone, calling for an airport taxi van ASAP. Letting them know they had a lot of suitcases and 3 passengers. She looked down at herself, she was just wearing a pair of jeans and a plain white tank top. She shrugged that it was good enough and started zipping up the suitcases in her room she had been living out of. Standing them up and quickly turning to make the bed.
She dragged one of the suitcases outside seeing Juice and Halfsack with all the rest of the bags.
"Got a flight to Oakland leaving in 3 hours. I already checked us in and called a cab." She told them still quietly.
"When the cab gets here, we're going to take all the bags down. You stay up here until all the bags are in the car and we're ready to pull off the street." Juice told her as she nodded her head understanding. Juice and Halfsack both grabbed their new black Toronto Blue Jays hats they had bought at the game and put them on their heads. Since they couldn't walk around with SAMCRO or Reaper Crew hats, they bought those at the game as souvenirs and for them to wear around Toronto.
"What about Jax? The Club?" Halfsack asked. Meaning what do we tell SAMCRO.
"Let's get to the airport, when we're at the gate waiting for the plane. Then I'll call him. Don't want to alarm them until I have to." Andy decided as Juice agreed. There was nothing that Jax or the MC could do right now for them, it was up to them to get out and get out fast.
"I'll grab the other suitcase from your room." Halfsack said as Andy nodded.
She followed Halfsack in the room, grabbing her duffel bag and throwing in her laptop, the charger and her cell phone charger. Grabbing her purse, throwing it over her shoulder and then making sure her passport was inside. She grabbed her pillow and the duffel bag before walking out of the room for the last time.
She went into the kitchen, finishing the tiding up. Seeing a bag of chips and pack of cookies, she out of instinct threw them in her duffel bag. Grabbing both her Canadian and Charming cells and throwing them in her purse.
Halfsack was keeping watch by the window waiting for the cab while Andy and Juice checked every room.
"It's here." Halfsack called out as he opened her door slowly, looking outside down the hallways and seeing it was all clear. He grabbed 2 of the suitcases and Juice followed behind with the other 2. Instructing Andy to lock the door behind them.
Andy watched from the window as they loaded the 4 suitcases in the airport van. Halfsack came up alone while Juice stood there with the bags and looking around. Halfsack came back up and Andy opened the door for him, he grabbed the other 2 bags and went back down. This time when he went down, Juice came back up and said it was time.
Andy grabbed her white blue jays hat she had bought of the game and put it on her head tucking in he hair. Then grabbed her duffel bag, her pillow and her purse. Making sure she had everything in it she needed. Juice grabbed his and Halfsacks's bags and they walked out the door. Andy taking one look back and then locking it behind her.
Juice loaded the last of the bags while Andy jumped right in the cab, Halfsack right behind her. Juice hopped in and they told the cab driver they had a flight in 2 hours and if he could hurry. Pulling away in a rush with all 3 of them in the cab checking around to make sure they weren't being followed.
