Dani regretted giving herself so much to do the day after a party. She had drank more alcohol than she had anticipated, but seeing as she wasn't taking care of Abel that night, she had let herself go. Jax was initially going to have Abel for the day, but something with the club had come up. Dani had called Gemma, and she would gladly take Abel for the day.

She sensed it in the air when she stepped inside Gemma's house through the kitchen. Something was off, something was different. Normally Gemma would come barging at her, yelling an insult which she usually ignored. But this time, she had remained seated on the couch, staring in front of her.

"Gemma? You there?" Dani asked carefully.

That seemed to grab her attention as Gemma turned her head and her gaze to Dani and the baby. Her eyes were puffy and red. Dani frowned. Had she been crying? She couldn't remember she ever had seen Gemma crying.

"You okay?" she said as she approached, clutching the baby tightly in her arms.

Gemma nodded slowly before rubbing her eyes with her fingers. "Yeah," she nodded. "Just tired."

But Dani didn't believe that for one second. Gemma was never tired, and if she was, she would never let anyone think she was tired. There was something going on and Dani knew she could never forgive herself if she ignored it.

She lowered herself on the couch next to Gemma. While balancing Abel on one arm, she took Gemma's hand in hers, forcing her to look me in the eye.

"You are not tired," Dani stated. "Something is going on."

Gemma shook her head, trying to force a smile. "No, it's nothing. I told you."

Dani cocked her head to the side. "Come on, Gemma. I'm not that stupid. Something has happened, I can see it and I'm not leaving until you tell me something."

Gemma took in a deep breath before releasing it slowly. "Promise you won't tell Jax?"

"I promise," Dani nodded, wondering what could be so bad she couldn't tell him.

"I got raped last night, after the party. Don't know who it was, but this was definitely about sending a message to the club."

Dani gasped as her eyes widened. "Oh my god," she spoke. "You didn't get to see his face?"

"No," Gemma shook her head. "They were wearing masks."

"They?" she exclaimed. "Oh my god, Gemma. How the fuck could this happen?"

Dani had felt extremely bad about leaving Abel with Gemma, but she had convinced her it would be good for her, Abel was a perfect distracting.

As Dani reached the parking lot at the clubhouse, she waited a few minutes in the car to process what she had just heard, and calm down a little. This was another secret she was forced to keep from Jax, how many more would be adding up to this? What happened to Gemma was worrying. How could this had happened in this town?

She understood why Gemma didn't want to tell anyone. If the plan was to scare SAMCRO, she could not give into that demand. And luckily, Gemma was a strong woman.

After taking in a deep breath, Dani got out of the car and headed inside. She tried to force her face into a normal one, hoping her worrying look wouldn't make a return. Gemma had confided in her and Jax could not know, no matter what.

She couldn't help but feel bad, though. It seemed as if Jax was telling her everything. He told her he had killed a man for crying out loud. Yet here Dani was, keeping everything from him. She hadn't even told him she had hired a new employee yet.

"Hey, babe," Jax said when he spotted her. "I'm just heading out, you need something?"

"Oh, where are you going?" she asked a little disappointed. She had hoped to spend some time with him.

"CaraCara," Jax told her, his voice a little softer than normal.

"CaraCara?!" Dani said. "The porn studio? What the fuck are you doing there?"

She couldn't help but feeling jealous. But how could she not? CaraCara was filled with beautiful women willing to do basically anything to get with a patched member. SAMCRO didn't have any business with them, or did they?

"Relax," Jax said, placing his hands on her arms. "We're going into business with them. It's a good way for us to go more legit."

"And by going legit the first business that comes to mind is porn?" Dani scoffed. He knew how much she hated Ima and pretty much anyone there for that matter.

Jax looked to his side at Half-Sack, who got the hint and quickly headed outside, leaving only them two behind.

"It's good business, Dani. That's all it is, good business," he told her, looking her in the eye.

"There are a lot of really hot girls there Jax. And Ima."

"I know they are there and I don't give a fuck. This is just club business, nothing more, okay?"

"You promise?" Dani asked to be sure. She would never forget the one time he had cheated on her, she could only hope he was smart enough to never do it again.

"I promise, babe," he said, leaning in to give her a long kiss.


With mixed feelings Dani returned to her café. First Gemma tells her about the rape, then Jax tells her about the porn studio. Both had assured her they would be fine, yet Dani could only hope they were right.

"Everything going alright?" Dani asked Elijah as she walked in. It seemed like a slow day and when her eyes quickly scanned the place everything looked taken care of. This guy might just be even better than Lana was.

"Yeah, a guy came in asking about you, though," he replied, wiping his hands clean on his apron.

"Who?" Dani asked, frowning.

"There he is actually," Elijah pointed behind Dani.

She turned around to see the guy she had seen hanging around the new cigar shop before. He came in the café, immediately turning himself to her.

"You must be Dani," he said with a sickening smile. "I have been looking for you for quite some time now."

"I've been busy," Dani replied.

He extended his arm, offering his hand. Out of politeness Dani accepted, although there was something about him that made her repulse him.

"I am Zobelle. Is it okay if I ask you some questions?" he continued.

"Yeah," Dani said, figuring she couldn't work her way out of this. "Please, sit down."

They sat down at a table near the window. She crossed her legs as she waited for him to speak.

"I got some questions about the Sons of Anarchy."

Dani pushed herself upwards. "Questions about the Sons of Anarchy can be asked to actual members of the Sons of Anarchy," she snapped. "Am I wearing a cut?"

"I just wanted to know how big their presence was in this town," Zobelle said, also standing up.

"Ask them. I'm not an expert. I only answer questions like this to the police."

It remained silent for a few seconds.

"I suggest you leave now."


Her blood was boiling today. First Gemma, than Jax, and than that Zobelle guy. What she was about to do might not be the best idea, considering the state she was in, but Dani had to do it.

She had driven to the CaraCara studio as a maniac. This needed to get settled. If only one of the girls were to touch Jax, she would personally break all of their noses.

Dani had to admit that even though CaraCara would be strictly club business, she liked none of it. The guys all hanging around the whores would be bad. The temptation would be so big, could they contain themselves?

She wasn't sure if people were allowed to enter the studio just like that, but Dani didn't care. She threw open the door and barged in, her eyes scanning the place for Luann.

"Where can I find Luann?" she asked one of the girls sitting behind a mirror, putting on make-up.

She shrugged and continued to apply her lipstick.

"Thanks for nothing," Dani mumbled. It was hard not to judge these girls. She knew they were just here to make a living if they only could keep their hands off her man.

"Luann!" she said, when she finally spotted her sitting in a directors chair. Dani tried her best to block the ongoing porn scene that was being acted out right beside her out of her mind.

"Dani?" she spoke. "What are you doing here? Jax just left!"

"Yeah, about him. Can I talk to you about that? In private?" she asked.

Luann hesitated for a moment, before saying. "Okay. Cut! Take five, girls!"

She lifted from her chair and placed her hand on Dani's back. "Let's talk in my office."

Dani didn't waste a second once the got inside. "I need you to keep the girls away from Jax," she began. "I don't care about the other guys, just keep them away from Jax."

Luann nodded. "That might be hard. Ima had a crush on him since forever."

"I don't care," Dani said. "I broke her nose once, I can do it again. He's mine now."

"I'll see what I can do, okay? But I can't make any promises, you know how these girls are."

"You better be keeping them in check, Luann," Dani said boldly. "Otherwise I'm forced to go to the cops and make a report about you keeping illegal drugs in this place. They'll shut down your business."

Luann frowned. "I don't have any drugs here."

"Girl, I can smell the weed from miles away and my guess is you have a lot more stronger in that desk of yours."

Dani turned to open the door. "Keep them in check, Luann. I'm serious."


A/N: Yay for bossy Dani! Of course Caracara had to make a reappearance in this story, I think it adds a great dynamic to their relationship.

Also please review! I got no reviews last chapters and if you want me to be able to keep this up an entire week I need some motivation! :D See you tomorrow! :D
