Ava woke up early the next morning and found herself wrapped up in Abel. Her head was on his left arm while his other arm was wrapped around her waist. His legs were inter-wined with hers and his

head lay near her neck. She can't say she's not worried about the situation with Garrett, but in this moment, it's just her and Abel. Deciding to go to bed for a little while longer, she wraps herself around Abel and

drifts off.

Some time later, Ava feels soft lips on her neck waking her up. Abel comes above her and shows off his boyish-grin.

"Morning, babe." He tells her kissing her on the lips hard and heavy.

"Morning." Ava laughs back. "What time is it?"

"Eleven. You're so beautiful in the morning." He says to her running his hands through her hair.

"We need to go back home. We can't avoid this any longer. I know that now." Ava says putting her hand around his arm.

"I meant what I said. Don't worry about this. The club and I will deal with this." Abel tells her one last time before he kisses her. They got out of bed around 1, after a lengthy make-out session. Ava's feelings for

him began to solidify and fall in place. She hopes that how they are now will survive what's about to come.

Later that night,

"I'll come pick you up in the morning." Abel tells Ava dropping her off at Luke's.

"Sure. Whatever you're about to do, be careful, ok? For me?" Ava asks him while hugging him to her.

"I will." He tells her seriously as he kisses her goodbye.

When Abel gets home, he takes his dad and they go to talk in the garage. After telling Jax what happened, Jax was pissed. He told Abel that he would call an emergency meeting in the morning, and they would

take care of this Garrett-fucker once and for all. Abel had one request: he deals with Garrett after the club gets their hands on him.

In the morning, Jax and Abel get to the clubhouse and sit down. As the club decides on what to do with Garrett, Clay looks to Abel and tells him that what he is planning to do is not easy shit.

"This shit gets messy, but it is necessary." Clay tells Abel with all seriousness.

"I'm doing this. I want him dead." Abel says coldly.

"All right. Everyone has any objections?" Clay asks taking a vote. "All agreed. Juice, I want you to get me a file on everything there is to know about Garrett there is to know, especially where he is now. Tig and

Opie, you two go to his house and see what you can find. Jax and Abel, stick around for a while." As everyone starts to leave, Clay goes up to Abel and asks him why Garrett would want to go after Ava.

"It doesn't add up. Almost like he's got another agenda. You and Ava weren't together then."

"I've been trying to figure it out. I don't know why he would target Ava. Maybe she was easy access to us." Abel says getting frustrated and just wanting to pound the shit out of Garrett.

"We'll find out why when we have out hands on him." Jax says putting his hand on Abel's shoulder trying to calm him down.

"Yeah, I gotta go get Ava. I'll be back after." Abel says turning to leave.

"Abel, if you see Garrett before we get him, don't do anything stupid. We'll make him wish he never laid eyes on your girl. Don't lose your temper, kid. I mean it, kid. That's an order!" Clay yells out to him.

"Yeah." Abel replies knowing full-well he probably will do something. Something to kill him.


"Come on, don't be shy." Abel tells Ava giving her a quick kiss.

"You know, I've never meet your parents. What if they don't like us being together? Ava asks him cautiously.

"They'll love you. Is this always what girls think about when they meet the parents?" He asks her jokingly as his hand drifts down her back and stops at the top of her jean skirt.

"Haha." She tells him sarcastically. " You gotta tell me. Abel, what happened at the clubhouse?" Ava asks playing with his hand.

"Garrett won't bother you anymore. It's being taken care of." Abel gives her one last kiss. "You're mine now, means you're safe. Under our protection."

"Oh, really?" Ava says laughing.

"Yeah, it's a club thing." He tells her.

"Sure, boys and their clubs." Ava responds getting out of the truck.

Walking through the front door, Abel calls out for his parents. His mom walks into the living room

"Hi guys. Jax is at the garage." Tara walks in dressed in blue jeans and a red laced tank-top.

"Ma, this is Ava. Ava, my mom, Tara." Abel introduces them to each other and hopes this meeting goes a lot better than his dad and Tara's meeting with

Gemma. As the day went on, Tara commented to Abel that Ava's a great girl, no push-over, which is exactly the kind of girl he needs.

"Hey, I'm gonna go meet dad at the garage. I'll be back in a little bit. You'll be ok here with my mom?" Abel asks Ava wrapping his hands around her waist.

"Yeah, of course. Your mom's great, kinda reminds me of Gemma, but she's cool." Ava tells him remembering of the time when she met Gemma at work.


On the way to the garage, Abel sights Garrett coming out of the corner-market. Deciding to follow him, they end up at his motel.

"Yo Jones!" Abel calls out to him getting his attention.

"Well, if it isn't Abel Teller!" Garrett says sounding very smug. "What can I do for you?"

"You can fucking die!" Abel tells him punching him straight in the face. As Garrett starts to get over the first hit, Abel hits him again, and again. He doesn't stop.

"You piece of shit! Going after Ava is the last think you will ever do." Abel tells him spitting on him and then continuing to hit and kick him.

Abel feels someone pulling him away. Not done with Garrett, he breaks free from the hold to hit him in the jaw one last time before he's pulled off of him.

"Wow! Enough, Abel. You got him, boy. Shit, you got him good." Opie says holding onto him. "You got him. Calm down. We can't kill him yet!"

"Why the fuck not?" Abel says wanting to beat him to his grave.

"We need some answers." Tig says coming up to him. "He'll die, Abel, but it can't be here where anyone can see." Tig tells him giving him a pat on the shoulder as he hears Garrett grown from the ground.

"Hello, asshole!" Tig says to Garrett looking at all the blood on his face. "He got your ass good, didn't he? Don't worry, though. There's more to come." Tig says while he injects a sedative into his arm and he and

Opie pick him up and stash him in the back of the van while Abel looks on trying to leash in his anger.

"All right, kid. You gotta get home." Tig tells him.

"Bullshit. I'm going." Abel tells Tig.

"Abel, Jax will get you when everything's ready. Your mom wants you home before this shit goes down. Go home, spend some time with your girl. Trust me, you'll finish what you started here." Opie tells him.

"Yeah, all right. I'll see you guys later." Abel says walking back to the truck.

"That boy's got a shitload of Jax in him." Tig says randomly.

"Yeah, no kidding, huh?"Opie laughs getting in the van.
