I followed Jax and Chibs as we walked into the hospital, going to go see Gemma. But as we walked in we were met with a pissed off Luann instead.
"I told you not to stir things up. Look what that asshole did to her." she gestured to one of her girls who was sitting down, a towel wrapped around an ice pack against her nose.
Jax leaned forward, checking out the damage. "This was Caruso?"
"Who do you think?" she raised her voice, so pissed she didn't even care it was Jax she as talking to.
"Little prick." Chibs shook his head.
"You guys must've really put the fear of God into him." Luann turned to the injured girl. "Tell them what Georgie said."
She sighed. "He told me to tell Luann that if the little biker boys show up again... he's gonna roll the cameras while he jams his dick up all your asses."
Jax nodded, getting worked up. Turning to us he said, "We'll see Gemma later."
"Jax, don't you do anything!" Luann yelled after us.
Jax turned to her, as angry as her. "Who the hell do you think you're talking to!? Get her patched up."
"Okay... okay..." fear replaced her rage.
"Call the rest of your talent. Tell them to lock their goddamn doors." he told her before moving back to us.
"Sorry." I watched, seeing her hesitate before adding. "Scarlett went there already..." she rushed.
All three of us turned to her.
"What did you just say?" Jax stepped forward, but Chibs grabbed him before he could do anything he'd regret later.
"I couldn't stop her, Jax. She wanted to get my girls out of there before he hurt them too."
"You let her go?" I yelled, ready to rip everybody to pieces.
"Juicy boy, calm down. We'll go get her." Chibs told me, still holding Jax back.
I nodded. "Should we call Clay?"
Jax shrugged Chibs off, shaking his head. "He's on the guns. Call the others. It's baseball time."
Chibs nodded along with me. "Great." he said, as we followed Jax out of the hospital.

I pushed my way through the doors. I had borrowed a top from Luann's, one that showed more cleavage than I usually put on display. With tight jeans and my hair now down, I knew I wasn't going to be stopped, not looking like this.
"Hi." I smiled up at the big black bouncer guy who stood between me and the door to Georgie's studio. "I'm looking for Mr Caruso."
He nodded, stepping aside. "Right in here."
"Thank you." I offered him one last smile before walking into the room, the bouncer right behind me.
We walked into the studio, moving to some people by a camera that was facing a set that looked like a high school gym. A guy and two girls looked ready to play out a scene in the 'locker room'.
"Who's she?" I presumed the guy who asked was Georgie. He sat behind monitors directing the scene that was in play.
"Hi." I offered him my hand, smiling as best as I could. "I'm actually here to talk to you about Luann. See, I used to work for her, and now that she's out of business, I'm out of a job."
He looked me up and down. "And what kind of work did you do for Luann?"
"Mainly behind the camera stuff. Never had the confidence to do anything else."
"Don't see why. You're gorgeous." He offered me the best charming smile he had- which honestly did nothing for me.
"Oh, you're too kind." I blushed, acting away. "Anyway, I wondering if you had a job opening? I really need the work, and will do whatever it takes."
"I'm only looking for girls to go in front of the camera. So, if you're willing…"
Biting my tongue, not wanting to go down this road, I reluctantly made myself smile. "I am."
"Great." He beamed, nodding. "Right this way." he gestured back through the door. "We'll do this in my office."
This is where I hesitated. There was no way I was going anywhere with him. Not alone at least. Sure, I could handle myself, but not if I had to deal with him and the bouncer. "Well, see... the thing is... I prefer girls." I lied.
I swear I thought his sick grin couldn't get any bigger, yet it did. "Take one of these, they're ready to go."
I looked over and my eyes locked on to Luann's girl. She recognized me too, giving a small nod. "Hey." I grinned, gesturing for her to come over to me. "You wanna help me out?"
She stepped away from the guy, heading over to me. "Sure, why not?" she played along.
Georgie nodded, obviously excited. "Alright, let's-"
"Georgie." Jax's voice called.
"Georgie!" Chibs yelled.
I looked over, seeing my brother, Chibs, Opie, Juice, Bobby and Kip walking into the studio, bats in hands. "Shit." I muttered under my breath.
Georgie pushed us aside. "Hey, get out! This is a closed set."
But the guys kept coming forward, Jax smashing the bat into the big bouncer guy. That got things going. Grunting, yelling and the sounds of a fight broke out.
"Come on! Come on!" Georgie was pissed, his men getting their asses kicked.
Jax walked up to the girl and me. "You two okay?"
She nodded, stepping towards him all distressed and worried suddenly- which caused me to roll my eyes. "After I saw what they did to Lyla-"
"It's okay." Jax reassured her. "Sack. Sack!" he called Kip over. "Get her out of here." he told the prospect.
"Okay. Come on." Kip nodded, taking the girl out.
Jax turned to me. "Are you crazy or something? What if it was you who ended up in the hospital next? Think mum and Clay would like that?"
"You're with these guys?" Georgie stepped forward.
Before Jax could move I elbowed the sleaze in the nose, grabbing him and kneeing him in the stomach. He landed on the floor, with a bleeding nose. Pulling out the knife I'd brought with me- stashed in my hand bag- I pressed it on his pants right over his balls.
"Let's just say... they're family." I shrugged, looking up at Jax. "Got anything you need to say, brother?"
He grinned, shaking his head as he knelt by Georgie. "You so much as send a friendly text to any of Luann's girls, your next movie: Canseco Does Georgie." he made gestures with his bat, showing Georgie what he meant. "You understand?"
"I get it." he nodded.
Jax stood, turning to the guys. "I think we're done here. Let's go!" he called.
Before we left I pulled my phone out and taking a picture of his nose. "I'm sure Lyla would like to see you got what you deserved." I smiled sweetly before getting up and walking out.
The guys laughed, following me.
"Letti, girl. I see you haven't forgotten what I taught you." Chibs laughed as we walked towards the van.
I shrugged. "Why forget something so useful?" I asked, all of them laughing some more.
In the corner of my eye I could see Juice's gaze on me, eating me up... which I have to admit, was a turn on.
...
I waited for the guys to walk out of church before walking up to Jax. He looked at me, still pretty pissed I went to Georgie's, but he'd get over it.
"You comin' to apologize?"
I shook my head. "Actually, I want to help."
He scoffed. "Last time you tried to help you walked into a porn studio, dressed in a skimpy shirt, with some scumbag practically drooling over you. What's your plan this time?"
"I've got money. You've got protection. Luann's got talent. I know the best move for Samcro to make is to partner up with Luann, and by the sounds of things, you all agreed to that just then..." he gave me a questioning look. "I heard you all call out pussy in chapel."
He nodded. "So, what are you getting at?"
"You guys can't afford to help her out. But what if I jumped in on the action, fronting her with some money. I can afford it, and that way, I get some more income in and you won't have to worry about me following the club around on dangerous jobs."
He nodded, thinking it over. "I don't see why not."
"So, it's a yes?"
"I'll talk to-" he stopped himself before saying, "Sure. Sounds good. We should go tell her now."
...
"Jax?" Luann walked into the warehouse.
He was in the bathroom, while I waited out in the huge room, lights all off.
Luann practically jumped when she saw me. "Oh, shit! What are you doing, hiding in the shadows like that?" she asked, hand to her chest.
I shrugged. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
She nodded, walking up to me. "I thought Jax was supposed to meet me here?" she asked, looking around.
The bathroom door opened, Jax walking out. Luann jumped again. "You okay?" he looked between the two of us.
"I'm sorry." she told him, backing up as he walked towards us.
"That's okay." he laughed.
"I didn't- I didn't mean to be such a pain in the ass, Jax." she told him, still backing up.
He paused. "Wait a minute..."
"No, don't." she looked terrified, now pressed against plastic sheeting.
"Luann, relax." Jax told her, amused. "You think I brought you here to Adriana you? With my sister, here?" he gestured to me. "I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm gonna help you." he nodded to me. I turned the lights on, lighting the place up so she could see it all. "Your new studio." he gestured around the place.
We followed him, Luann confused. "New studio? What do you mean?"
"You're not gonna be able to compete without protection and investors. We're gonna help you get back on your feet."
She paused. "Samcro as a partner?"
Jax nodded, stepping aside so she could see me. "And Scarlett."
She looked to me, even more confused. "What's Letti got to offer?"
"Money." I shrugged. "Samcro gives you protection, I give you funds. You've already got the talent, so we're set to go."
"What's the split?" she asked Jax.
"Cut it all even. Into three. And Samcro's debt goes away. But with Scar's help, you don't really need that money anyway." he answered
Hands on hips she asked, "And if I say no?"
Jax shrugged. "It's your only play, darlin'. We all know that."
She looked around the place, sighing. "Life was so much easier when I was just sucking dick." she answered, and with that we were in business.
...
I stood over Bobby, doing the best I could to fix up his bullet wound, while Tig watched. I hadn't asked why or how it happened. All I knew was that I got called in to help, and now here I was, once again fixing up a bullet wound.
"Is it all right?" he asked, looking up at me.
"Through and through Bobby. You'll live." I smiled down at him.
Just then mum and Tara walked in. Tara, seeing me, headed right over. "How is it?"
I stepped aside so she could see it. "It went right through. Just needs some stitching up and he should be good to go."
"You okay, Bobby?" mum asked him.
He nodded. "Yeah. I'm in good hands." he looked up at Tara and me.
"So, what do you need me to do, doc?" I asked, ready to let her take over.
But she shook her head. "You've stitched someone up before?"
"A few animals, that's all. Why?"
She moved away from Bobby. "I think you've got this one. Need to make sure these guys have got more than just one doctor who can take care of them." I nodded, getting to work. As I did, Tara looked around, probably for my brother. "Where's Jax?"
Tig gestured to the chapel. "He's in with Clay."
That's all he had to say for her to know not to ask any more questions. When it came to me and mum, the guys told us stuff because we're family. But Tara, she wasn't in the family quite yet. It takes some time.
"Okay, Bobby. Let' get you fixed up."
