Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you know I am still working on this story. I don't post updates often, but I am trying to do one a month. I hope you are all still enjoying my work b/c I really do enjoy writing it for you. This story will take many twists and turns and i'm famous for 'holy shit' moments so don't be surprised if you don't see something coming...

Ava pulled into the shop and waved at Juice.

"Hey doll-face, what's up?"
"I need an oil change, Jax ordered the super special filters from Maserati, think someone can do it now?"

"Sure I'll do it myself."

"Thanks."

Ava went into the clubhouse and sat at the bar and found Chucky.

"Hi there."

"Can I have some water?"

"Sparkling?" He asked.

"Oh yes please."

"With lemon?"

"You know me so well Chucky." Ava said with a grin.

He returned the grin, Ava was a good girl and he really hoped that Ava and Happy worked out.

Juice drove the car into the garage bay and saw a scrap of paper on the floor and picked it up to throw it away, knowing Ava liked her car clean. He read it and his eyes got huge.

He picked up his phone and called Jax.

"What's up?"

"Got a problem."

"What?"

"Ava's got a flyer for LOAN in her car."

"WHAT? What the fuck does she know about LOAN?" Jax barked.

"No clue bro. I'm changing her oil and I found it on the floor of her Maserati."

"Is Hap there?"

"No he's picking up a tow. He'll be back soon."

"Take it to him, he needs to talk to his old lady and find out what the fuck."

"On it." Juice said as he hung up.

He dialed Happy and felt his stomach clench at the thought of talking to Happy about Ava, "Hey Hap."
"What's up?" the gravelly voice said

"Got an issue…with Ava."

"What's wrong?" happy asked, instantly worried.

"I found a flyer for LOAN in her car. She brought it in to get an oil change."
"Where is she?"

"In the clubhouse with Chucky."

"I'll be there in 10 minutes, don't say anything to her."

Ava was laughing at Chucky's impersonation of Deputy Chief Hale when Happy walked in.

She turned and smiled at him when she heard the door open, "Hey."

"We need to talk." He said in his no-nonsense voice, making her worry.

She nodded her head and followed him into the room where church was held. She had last been in here after she was attacked and had first met Happy. He slammed the door behind them ending her walk down memory lane, she heard the lock engage.

"Where did you get this?" Happy asked as he held up the flyer for LOAN.

"From Alan Weston, he handed it to me before I walked out of school. It's some charity he wants me to join. Why? What's the matter? Did I do something wrong?" She asked suddenly scared of how serious and scary Happy was being.

"No, but I need to know why the fuck LOAN wants you and I have a feeling it all comes back to that fucking Forbes article. Now that people know how much money you actually have you are a much bigger target for all sorts of shit." He said his stress level on a whole new level.

"What is LOAN? He said it was a Christian charity."

"It's a fucking white hate group. He can call it what he wants but it's a front for the Aryan Nation."

"I told him I don't give to charities that I'm not involved with and he said he wasn't asking for a donation but that he wanted me to join his group."

"No fucking way."

"Hap I have NO intention of joining his group. His uncle was one of the ones that attacked Gemma." She said softly, not sure if the room was soundproof.

"You know about that?" he asked, only slightly surprised.

"She told me, we ran into him at the mall and I introduced them and when she heard the last name Weston she freaked and told me. I've been avoiding him like the plague since then, but it's hard because he goes to St. Thomas High School with me."

"You stay far away from him. If he talks to you, I wanna know. If he tries anything I wanna know." Happy said angrily.

"Got it."

He pulled her to him and kissed her mouth hard, the emotions he was feeling were bothering him and he needed to push them aside for some instant sexual gratification since he wasn't all 'touchy feely' like Jax was with his emotions. Ava's heart was still beating fast from the tone of his voice and now that he was kissing her and his hands were all over her body her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She bit down on his lower lip and he groaned softly.

"Are you wet for me babe?" He asked as he slid his hand up her skirt and yanked her panties off in one movement.

He slid his finger into her and was pleased to find she was very wet and warm for him.

"Oh shit Hap." Ava groaned as his finger slid slowly in and out of her.

"You like that?" He asked, trying to keep from bending her over the table and fucking her.

"Y-yes." She panted out as he added a second finger, filling her tight little pussy more.

"You want me to fuck you babe?" He asked.

"Yes."

He yanked her around and shoved her face down so her perfect ass was in position and he yanked his zipper down and slammed into her in one movement, her warm wet pussy a tight fit for his rigid dick. He put his hand over her mouth to keep her from yelling out, she wasn't quiet when they fucked and he didn't want the club to know what was happening, she wasn't some crow-eater that was a club-pass-around to be made fun of, she deserved respect. Even though the room was soundproof, Happy didn't want to test just how much sound it kept out.

She bit his hand a few times and he didn't care, it only added fuel to his fire as he slammed his cock into her and finally came hard. He rested his forehead on her back and kissed her neck. He pulled out and moved his hand from her mouth and she turned around. Her cheeks were flushed and her chest was heaving from the thrill of it all.

"Where are my panties?" She asked.

"Destroyed." He said with a grin.

"Damn it Hap. I can't run around without panties on!"

His eyes dilated to solid black, "I don't want you to wear panties for the next 3 days."

"You can't be serious?" She asked, breathless at the thought. It was both naughty and sexy.

"Oh yeah I'm serious and I'm going to check too. If I find out you're wearing panties I'm going to punish you."

"Really? Maybe I'd like to get punished." Ava said, her voice getting thick with desire at the thought of him spanking her or some other form of punishment.

He stepped closer to her and nuzzled her neck, "You think you would? You want me to punish you babe? Think you can handle it?"

"I know I could." She smarted.

He chuckled, "We'll see. The next 72 hours you are panty free, starting now." He said as he looked at his watch.

He zipped himself up and kissed her lips again, "Lets go talk to the guys, fix yourself."

She took a second to use her destroyed panties to clean the evidence off her thighs and threw them at Happy. He caught them and sniffed them and shoved them in his pocket. She felt a shiver go through her body as she made sure it wasn't totally obvious they had just fucked in the office.

Happy opened the doors and they found most of the guys at the bar eating something from bowls.

"Whats for lunch?" Ava asked as she sat next to Juice, trying to get comfortable without panties on. Ava wasn't one of those girls that felt comfortable sitting around without underwear, she had class.

"Chucky's famous chili." Juice said with a grin as he took a huge spoonful.

"What makes it famous?" Ava asked.

Chucky and Gemma just smiled and handed Ava a bowl of the chili.

"Family secret." Chucky said with a chuckle.

Jax walked in and looked at Hap who gave a slight nod of his head and followed Jax into the room he and Ava had just vacated.

"So what's up?"

"Weston's nephew goes to school with Ava, he gave the flyer to her. Wants her to join his Christian charity group."

"Jesus. So it's all about Ava? That can't be good."

"Pretty sure it's about her money." Happy said.

"Who do you think is behind it?"

"Weston is gone but his brother maybe? The kid's dad." After a pause Hap's eyes snapped up, "You don't think it could be Zobelle?"

Jax sighed, "That's exactly who I think is behind this. He plans, he plots. Wouldn't he love to have Ava as a poster child for White Hate? He'd fucking bust a nut in his grandma's butt to get Ava and her money."

Happy growled, "No one is getting their hands on her."

Jax thought for a second, "You think Ava would help us?"

"No!"

"Yes." Ava said from behind Happy.

"No fucking way!" He barked back at her, getting mad now.

"Hap, you are my family. I take it this Zobelle is bad news, how can I help?"

"No way, too fucking dangerous. I'm not letting her near those fucks!" Happy was about to snap Jax in half if he kept up with the idea of Ava going into the lion's den.

"Hap, she needs to do this." Gemma said from the doorway.

"Jesus, is this room no longer sacred!" Jax barked

"They don't know that she knows. They want something from her, they won't hurt her."

"You don't know that Gemma. They only need her alive for the money, not sane, not tortured, not conscious." Happy said.

"Hap's right." Juice said as he walked over and sat at the table. "We have no idea what they would do to her in order to get the money."

"But you guys want this guy, clearly they want me, use me as bait."

"No. Fucking. Way." Happy said, in full on pissed-off mode.

"Easy Hap. We aren't going to use her as bait." Chibs said as he joined the conversation.

"Zobelle is a nasty piece of work, he isn't just a thug. He's got money, he's 'respectable'. We have to think like that, not just about revenge." Opie said.

"I have an idea, but Happy won't like it." Ava said.

"What?" He barked.

"Let me get close to Alan, let him think I'm not happy being around you guys anymore, that I'm scared or something. I think he likes me, he won't hurt me. I know that someone else might, but I really don't think he would hurt me. I can use the fact that he likes to me to my advantage"

Happy opened his mouth and closed it, he couldn't even get words out right now he was so angry. He didn't want Ava going near them and he sure as hell didn't want her to pretend to like the fucker. She belonged to HIM and that was it.

"I think you broke him princess." Koz said as he watched his friend open and close his mouth repeatedly, trying to get words out.

"Please Hap? Let me help you guys." Ava pleaded.

He growled and paced the room, everyone watching him like a hawk, waiting for him to erupt.

"If I agree to this, we have to have a way for us to get to you instantly and I want to see what's going on at all times." He said.

Ava smiled and hugged him, "I promise that safety will be my number one priority."

Ava walked into St. Thomas High School the next day with a new spring in her step, she had a mission to help her family and she wasn't going to let them down no matter how much it sucked to cozy up to Alan Weston.

"Hey Ava."

Ava knew that voice and prepared herself as she turned.

"Hi Alan." She said softly, her eyes misty.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Sorry, I don't mean to cry. I didn't get much sleep last night."

"What's with the glasses?" He asked, totally just realizing that she was wearing black rimmed glasses. He had a thing for beautiful girls who wore glasses.

"Oh my eyes hurt from all the crying so I couldn't wear my contacts."

Jesus fucking Christ she looks even better with her glasses on, fuck I'm hard.

"What's wrong? Can I help?"

She got really quiet, "Do you know where I can get a gun?"
Alan looked surprised, "What? A gun?"

"I promise I'm not going to hurt myself, I need to protect myself."

"From who?"

She sighed, "You know how the Morrow's are my guardians'?"

"Yeah." He knew and wasn't thrilled about it.
"I really like them, I do. There is this guy in their club that they want to set me up with, I guess like to date, but he totally scares me."

"Who?" Alan knew all of the SOA scum, since an early age his family had a whole wall of their home devoted to the club and they knew all the members.

"His name is Happy."

Alan nearly shouted, "He's a fucking sociopath! He fucking kills people for fun Ava, stay away from him!"

Ava started crying again, "Oh god."

"I'm sorry." Alan said, surprised when Ava hugged him. He quickly put his arm around her to comfort her. Oh god she smells so fucking good.

"I'm just so scared." She said hiding the grin in his chest. Jesus this was too easy.

"Look I think I know someone who can get you a gun, but it won't be free."

"Of course. I understand. Oh gosh I'm sorry about your shirt."

Alan looked down and saw the tear stains and mascara and just grinned, "it's fine."

Ava smiled at him, "You are so nice Alan. I'm sorry to just dump all this on you."

He smiled dumbly, "It's fine Ava, you're so wonderful."

"Jesus she's good." Gemma laughed as she listened to the video that was live streaming into the clubhouse.

"Shh!" Happy grumbled.

"Don't worry Hap, she's so in love with you she doesn't even know other men exist."

"Still don't like it." He said as he crossed his arms. He knew Ava loved him and he knew she had zero interest in a fuck-nugget like Alan Weston but he really didn't like seeing her chatting up another dude much less hugging on the little shit.

"Meet me at my locker at 3pm, we'll go then." Alan said.

"Okay, thanks."

The rest of the day passed quickly and Ava was pretty sure that the guys weren't watching her Advanced Physics class. She took off her glasses before she went into the bathroom and when she changed for PE, knowing that if anyone saw something Happy would rip them apart but she needed to keep him on an even keel and to do that she had to not slip up and forget about her glasses.

Ava was waiting for Alan when he came out of his class.

"Ready?"

"Sure, do you want me to follow you?"

"I don't have a car, can we take yours?"

"Oh sure, I guess I thought you had a car."

"No my folks are making me work for the money for my car, I've only managed to save $800."

"That's cool."

They walked out to her Range Rover and she clicked it open.

"This is a sweet ride." He said as he sat in the buttery soft leather seat.

"Yeah. I like it."

"Head west out of town."

"Okay."

She knew that the guys would be watching because Juice had put cameras and microphones in her vehicles so that if she had to be mobile they could see everything.

"I need to stop by the ATM first to get some cash, how much you think it's going to be? I know nothing about guns."

"I think about $1,000 would be enough."

Ava smiled, "Okay."

Alan watched her walk over to the ATM and smiled, "I could get used to having vehicles like this."

His phone rang and he quickly answered it.

"Mr. Zobelle, good news I'm not going to have to drug her. She's interested in me. Apparently SOA wants her to date that nasty fuck Happy and she's totally afraid and she turned to me. I'm taking her to Murphy to get a gun."

"Why?"

"She wants to protect herself. I'm sure she's worried that fucker Happy will try something."

"Get her to come to the LOAN meeting next weekend so I can meet her and see if she's really done with SOA or if she's faking it."

"Why would she be faking it?"

"Because the Son's aren't nearly as stupid as you think they are. They could have easily gotten her to pretend because they know you're a Weston."

"I don't understand, you think she's faking it?" Alan asked, not quite so bright.

"I don't know you moron, I need to talk to her in person and see her reaction when I kill one of them in front of her."

"What? You're going to kill one of them?"

Zobelle laughed, "Yes. I'm going to murder a Son in front of her and see how she reacts."

Ava was freaking out, she could hear the conversation in the car thanks to the tiny earpiece she was wearing, she knew she had to steel her nerves to not give anything away before she turned around, her phone rang and she answered it with a shaking hand.

"Babe. It's okay, you can do this."

"I don't think I can. Happy, he's going to kill one of you in front of me!"

"No he's not. I won't let him. I promise you."

"Okay." She hung up and swallowed her fear and turned back toward the SUV.

She got in the SUV and drove to where Alan told her to. She pulled up to a beat-up trailer about 20 miles outside of town, far away from civilization.

They walked up to the door and Alan knocked and it was quickly answered, "Who's there?"

"Alan and a friend."
The door opened and a man answered the door, he smelled awful and looked like he hadn't slept in weeks.

"What's up Alan? Who's your friend? She a cop?"

"No Murphy, she goes to school with me. She needs a gun for protection."

"A gun? I don't sell guns, don't know what this kid told you lady but I don't illegally sell guns." He said more loudly than needed, in case someone was in the bushes listening.

"Jesus Murphy she's not a cop man! I told you would give her the friends and family discount of $1,000." Alan said, knowing that money was a motivator for a tweaker like him.

"Well if you vouch for her, okay. Come in."

Ava really didn't want to go inside the horrible trailer but she knew she had to in order to keep up her act.

I'm going to need a Silkwood shower after this. UGH!

She stepped in behind Alan and nearly gagged on the smell of human feces and ammonia. The room was full of trash and half eaten food, which of course was now maggot infested. There wasn't even a pathway, he just walked on top of the trash.

"What kinda gun you want lady?"
"Um I don't know. A black one?" Ava said, trying to pretend that Happy hadn't spent tens of hours schooling her on types of guns, not to mention the hours upon hours he spent on gun safety and how to shoot one, she was actually a really good shot.

"Haha that's cute. I mean what type. You want a revolver or a semi-automatic?"

"I don't know what that means, sorry." Ava said sweetly.

"Give her a revolver. Easier to handle." Alan said.

Murphy went to a closet and removed several boxes and found a specific one and opened it and pulled out a not-so-new .38 special.

"Oh it's shiny." Ava said trying to keep up the act.

"Yeah, 5 shot. Just point and shoot."

"You going to give her the bullets too?" Alan asked.

Murphy grumbled and pulled a small box of .38 bullets from the box and handed them to her as well.

Ava handed him the money and smiled, "Thank you Mr. Murphy."

Alan had her stop a few miles from the trailer so he could teach her how to shoot the gun.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" She asked.

"Of course not. I don't want you to be afraid to use it or God forbid hurt yourself on accident."

He showed her how to load and unload the gun and handed the gun to her.

"Go ahead."
She had to close her eyes in order to not hit the target and she screeched when she pulled the trigger to appear like a first time gun user.

He chuckled, "Not bad for the first time. Let me help you."

He took position behind her and put his arms along her arms and his large hands covered hers which were holding the gun.

"Don't be afraid to keep your eyes open, you need to see what you're shooting at in order to hit the target."

"Okay." Ava said.

She fired and made herself miss 3 of the 5 shots so she didn't appear to be any good.

"Much better. Just keep practicing at home so you feel comfortable with the gun."

She turned around to thank him and he kissed her lips. Jesus he kisses like a child, all slobber. She gasped and took a step back and slapped him hard across the face.

"Alan! What kind of a girl do you think I am? You claim to be a good Christian boy but clearly you are only interested in one thing with me. Shame on you!" Ava fumed as she turned and got into the SUV and left him standing in the middle of the field 12 miles from Charming.

Hope you all enjoyed! I've got some crazy stuff in the works for my little SOA family. I hope you keep reading my work and I will do my best to update monthly or more frequently. I have 150 more pages written after this chapter, however some of it jumps ahead and I have to fill in the gaps. I don't write in sequence so that is why my stories take a while to publish.
