Slived of Melody: Thanks for the review :):) Yeah, losing Kip sucks. I thought about keeping him alive, but then Cameron wouldn't have gotten away and that's the whole point of the next season, so a sacrifice had to be made...
MissTeller-Ortiz-Dixon: I cried because of this ep too! Can't give away what's gonna happen (obviously) but people are certainly gonna react to everything that happened, which is completely understandable
lennon9091: Thank you for the review :):) Juice will of course hate whats happened, but I think he'll internalise a lot of the anger for Letti's sake

I paced on the side of the parking lot as we continued to wait for the store to clear. We weren't leaving until the job was finished, until Zobelle was dead. Yet I couldn't stop thinking about Scarlett, wondering if she was with Gemma and Tara, or back at the club. I knew I should have been completely focused on the job, but there was never a time now that my mind didn't wander to thoughts of Scarlett.
"Tara? Tara!" Jax's yelling caught my attention. "Tara!"
"What?" Clay asked.
Hanging up, Jax looked to the store and back to Clay. "Something's wrong. I gotta go."
He thought about it for a moment, only a few seconds. But Clay gave the nod, allowing Jax to go. He knew Jax would only go if it was really important. We'd get the job done without him.
"I'm with you, brother." Ope turned to his bike.
Chibs nodded. "Yeah. Me too."
The three of them got on their bikes and rode off. As I watched them go it was only then I had a sick feeling Scarlett was involved in whatever was going on back in Charming, and I wasn't going to be there for her...

"Letti!" I heard someone's voice calling me as they shook my shoulders. "Letti, wake up!"
I groaned, my eyes fluttering open. Looking up, my eyes landed on Chibs as he leaned over me. "Chibs?" I was confused.
Where was I? Why was I on the floor? Why did my head hurt? My head pounded and throbbed. The pain so intense I was seeing spots. I reached up to press my hand to where the pain seemed to be center. As my fingers brushed the skin and hair there, I felt something wet. Pulling my hand back, I found my fingers covered in blood. That can't be good...
"Shit, Letti." he helped me sit up, taking a look at my head. "We gotta get you to the hospital.
As he spoke, I found my eyes wandering, falling to what lay on the ground before me. That's when I realised it was Kip, and just like that, everything came rushing back to me. "Oh!" I gasped, choking on a sob. "Oh no. No, no, no, no, no." I shook my head through the pain, staring down at my friend's lifeless body. "Not you, please not you." I cried.
"Chibs!" Jax and Ope ran into the kitchen, Jax's breathing heavily, clearly in a panic. "We gotta go. Cameron took Abel."
"Jesus Christ." Chibs looked from Jax to me. "Stay here, call the cops, Lett. We'll be back, I promise." he leaned forward, placing a kiss on my forehead before he got up, the three men running out of the house.
Disbelief filled me as I looked from Kip to the counter where Abel's carrier had been. Slowly and painfully I got myself on to my feet, the world spinning. I barely made it to the hall way before collapsing from the pain and tears that caused my body to shake. Everything just felt so wrong.

The kids filed onto the school bus, the parking lot clearing out of cars as the shop slowly yet surely emptied. I kept watch on the road, ready to tell the guys if any signs of trouble headed our way. We were ready, waiting for Zobelle to be the last. Once he was alone, nothing would stop us. The consequences of our actions mean nothing compared to the revenge Gemma, Chibs, Letti and the club deserved. This man had turned our town upside down and he was going to pay for it.
Clay's phone rang then. I listened as he answered it within seconds. "Everything all right?" turning around to see if there was any news from Jax, needing to know if Scarlett was okay, I waited for Clay to talk. As he hung up, he turned to Tig, Bobby and I, shock replacing the hate he had for Zobelle. "We gotta go."
"What you talking about?" Tig stepped closer to Clay, ready to remind him of why we're here. "Zobelle's unprotected."
Clay pushed past us. "Irish took my grandson."
"Son of a bitch." Bobby mumbled.
We didn't need to know anything else. We followed Clay, getting on our bikes and riding off. We'd just have to find Zobelle another time. For now, we had to get Abel back.

Hale walked through the door followed by Eglee. He nodded for her to go to the nursery as he sat next to me, pen and note pad in hand ready to ask me question. "I'm sorry I have to do this to you..." he sighed.
"Just do it." I told him, voice flat and emotionless, like I was on autopilot.
Taking a deep breath and giving a short nod, he began. "Do you know who it was that killed Kip and took Abel?"
"Cameron. I don't know his full name. All I know is he's Irish. That's all."
"Do you know why he was here?"
Gemma killed my Eddie. That's what Cameron had said, that my mum killed his son. But I couldn't exactly tell Hale that now could I? That would imply that I knew about my mum, and there'd need to be a reason why she'd kill someone... I couldn't really tell him anything actually, because whatever I said might implement the club and my family, and the last thing I wanted was to be the reason why they got in trouble. Well, more trouble than they were already in.
"No. I don't know. He just walked in, threatened to kill us. Kip went to stop him, but got stabbed. He hit me in the head with the butt of his gun and I blacked out before anything else happened."
"Scarlett, do you know about Gemma? Do you know she killed Zobelle's daughter?"
I shrugged, turning my head to look at him. "She deserved it after what she did to my mum. Everything those scum bags get, they deserve it. They came into our town, raped my mum, and almost had Chibs blown up. They'll get what's coming for them. Just like Cameron will." I nodded, wincing as a sharp pain pulsed through my head from the movement.
His hand rested on top of mine. "We should get you to a hospital, make sure you're head's okay."
"No. It's fine." I slowly stood, using the wall for support. "Is Tara okay?"
He nodded, helping me stay steady. "She's in the nursery... I'll help you get there."
We walked the few steps from where I had fallen to the ground in the hall way, over to Abel's nursery. Tara sat on the lounge, hugging herself as she sobbed, Eglee trying her best to be gentle and comforting as she asked the necessary question. Seeing Tara like that broke me.
I felt a tear run down my cheek before I realized I was crying, Hale's arms wrapping around me as he pulled me to his chest. I let him hold me as I cried. I cried for Kip, for Abel, for Jax, for mum. I cried for the loss and the pain this day had caused.

We stopped our bikes by the port, getting off and running after Cameron. We could see him in the distance, running towards the boats, Abel in hand.
"Far dock!" Jax called before me all started sprinting towards the Irish.
Adrenaline pumping, my feet slammed against the ground, moving as fast as I could in hopes that we'd catch Cameron. But we were too far behind. We got to the end of the dock, stopping as we watched Cameron drive off in his boat...
"He took my son." Jax panted, turning to us. "He took my son!"
He fell to the ground, Clay trying to catch him as Jax just fell apart, sobbing in his father's arms. I couldn't believe it, he was gone, Abel was gone. With my heart pounding I felt my stomach fall at the thought of Jax losing his son and Scarlet losing her nephew. Jax screamed out, the sound filled with heart break and vengeful anger.

Hale had eventually convinced me that I should go the the hospital, where I ended up getting the side of my forehead patched up and some pain killers. I was instructed not to sleep because of my concussion, and then I was finally let out. Piney picked me up, we rode in silence as he took us back to the clubhouse. By the time we got there, the guys were already back- though Jax was at home, along with Clay. Tig, Bobby, Chibs and Juice were all waiting outside. The moment they saw Piney and I, they moved to head over to us as I got off Piney's bike.
"Shit, Lett." Tig shook his head, looking at the bandage on mine. "I'm so sorry..."
I looked between the group of them, my eyes landing on Juice. "Where's Abel? Is he home? Is he okay?"
"Letti..." Chibs went to answer and that was enough for me to know.
"My mum? Where's she?"
Tig stepped closer to me, hands resting on my shoulders. "Your mum had to go, you know that. Feds are after her. She killed Zobelle's daughter, and Stahl framed her for Cameron's kid's death too. She had to go..."
At the mention of Cameron, my eyes blazed over with hate. "We're not giving up." I looked Tig in the eyes. "We do not rest until Abel is found and Cameron is dead."
He nodded, the others agreeing behind him. We were going to get the bastard who took my nephew, and he was going to pay for what he did, to Abel, Jax, Tara, the club, and Kip.
The End...
