Fallon: End of an Era
"That was Ryu. Lin will meet us," Bobby said putting his phone back in his pocket.
"Alright, good," Jax nodded then looked at Tig who was flipping his phone shut.
"I put Barosky on notice," Tig chuckled. "He wants another five grand for the personnel."
"Of course he does. What did you tell him?"
"Nothing specific, just to have a few of his guys ready to go," Tig shrugged.
Chibs came into the office with a backpack. "We're all set."
"Let's go make a deal," Jax told them.
She had been up on the roof of one of the surrounding warehouses. It had been the perfect viewpoint as to what was going on below. Dru had watched as Lin and his men forced Jax and Chibs to their knees. She assumed it was to make them feel powerful. Dru smirked. What Lin didn't know wouldn't hurt him. What he failed to see was that he had walked into a trap. Dru was only there to make sure that Lin didn't get a wild hair up his ass. She had her sniper rifle drawn on him for a reason.
She watched the Chinese throw Jax and Chibs into the back of a van. She quickly disassembled her rifle, put it back in the case, and then stealthily made her way off the roof.
Dru caught up with the others. She quickly relayed what she had seen at the warehouses. Everything was going as planned. Now they were meeting up at the last rendezvous. They had already been stopped by Barosky's men. Every one of Lin's men, except for Lin himself, was tied to the fence.
Lin was knocked down to the ground. "You have no idea what a big mistake this is, Teller."
"Not as big a mistake as you killing the mother of my children!" Jax shouted kicked Lin in the torso.
Lin grunted and coughed until he finally stood back up. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"This isn't the way I wanted to do this, Henry. I wanted it to be much slower, much smarter, but this is gonna have to do."
"You're an idiot, Teller. I had nothing to do with what happened with your old lady!"
"You know, I was the one who advised Nero to tell you to bring a whole army. Now you're gonna watch as my guys rip apart your entire crew. I'm gonna wipe out every trace of you and your organization, Henry. You're done. You're just a dirty Oakland memory. But first…" Jax paused. "It's you and me."
Dru and the Sons stood on the sidelines as they observed the fight. No one was really besting the other. Jax was too numb to feel any pain from Lin's hits.
"We don't have time for this," Dru said.
"I know," Chibs agreed as his phone began ringing. Dru watched the emotions play over his face before he snapped it shut. "Mother of Christ. Real cops are on their way."
"I'll tell Barosky's guy," Tig told him.
"Now who's gonna break this up?" Bobby asked as they watched Jax beat the shit out of Lin's face.
"I think it's gonna take all three of us," Dru said.
"Aye," Chibs nodded.
The three of them quickly grabbed onto Jax. It was like holding back a Mac truck. They struggled with pulling him away from Lin.
"Jackson, stop!" she yelled.
"Jackie! Jackie!" Chibs shouted as him and Bobby grabbed him from behind. "Jarry called. Cops have been tailing Lin. SWAT team's on its way. We've gotta go. Come on."
The rage still hadn't left him. He looked Dru straight in the eye and said, "Give me your piece."
"No! They could have eyes on us. Do you wanna go back to prison?!" Dru exclaimed grabbing onto the collar of his shirt and shaking him. "Get your head on straight!"
"Leave them with the heroin, Jax. Barosky's guys will cover for us," Bobby told him. "We'll get him on the inside."
"Jackson, listen to Bobby. Please," Dru begged.
It was like a light bulb finally came on in Jax's head. Her words penetrated through. Jax grabbed onto her face and brought their foreheads together. He breathed, what seemed like to her, a sigh of relief. But from how tense his body was he hadn't let go of the fury.
"Let's go!" Chibs bellowed.
It had taken quite a long time for Jax to calm down to the point where you could have a logical conversation with him. He had been so enraged earlier that he had been out of control. Dru had taken to begging for him to stop his full on assault of Lin. There hadn't been a spark of humanity in him at that very moment. He had been fighting for the mother of his children.
She and Chibs had been the ones to follow him home. Chibs had made it plain to her that the best thing she could do was disappear so Jax could wallow in his wrath. But Dru knew better. Jax took everything to heart. He let everything inside. He had no armor to protect him; never had, even when they were children. Who better to deal with his ferocity than her? However, Dru had a feeling that the rage was gone. In its place would be grief, and in her opinion, grief was more dangerous than anger. She would not allow him to go through this alone.
She stood outside the house for twenty minutes taking slow drags off of a cigarette before attempting to go inside. When she did, he was coming out of the bathroom with a towel slung low on his hips. Her breath stuttered out. She had seen him shirtless before countless times. But now that she'd had the pleasure of kissing him, of touching him, of hearing him say the words 'I love you', well…seeing him shirtless was a different ballgame now.
"I figured you would've run away from me like Chibs did," Jax commented.
Dru shook her head. "That's not what you need right now."
"What I needed was to kill Lin," he snapped. "You should've given me your gun."
"And what? Just let you put a bullet in his head right there in the middle of Stockton? Are you out of your damn mind?" Dru questioned.
"I had him, Dru!" Jax shouted. "I had him right where I wanted him. It wasn't necessarily the way I wanted to do it, but I had him."
"There were too many eyes and ears there today. We were lucky Chibs got the call from Jarry whenever he did. If she hadn't have called to give a heads up, we would all be sitting in jail cells right now. Think about that."
Jax sighed. "That's the thing…" he shook his head. "I wasn't thinking. The only thing I was thinking about was how sweet the revenge was going to be once I killed Lin."
"You don't get it."
"What don't I get, Dru—the fact that Thomas and Abel are going to ask me one day what happened to their mother? I already have Abel asking why his mother had to go to heaven. I won't be able to handle it when Thomas asks that later," he explained.
"I understand that, but there were better ways to handle all of this. Hell, Jackson, you're going after August Marks. You want to destroy everything that the Sons have worked for; that you worked for! You finally got away from the gun business. Granted, it took a lot of dead bodies, but you did it. And now you're opening this door and shutting another. What the fuck are you trying to pull?"
Jax simply stared at her. Dru hadn't gone as far as she could yet. She was willing to play a full deck if he wanted her to. But she never got the chance because the next thing she knew Jax had her pushed up against a wall attacking her lips. It was like the animal had been unleashed. Jax kept a tight rein on his emotions; however, he was the first one to feel all of it. He had no outer shell to protect himself like the rest of them did. Everything he did came from the heart. Just like this did.
He slightly bit her bottom lip and Dru felt herself creaming her panties. Jax ran his hands down until he felt the curve of her butt. The towel had already fallen. Jax Teller was in all of his naked glory, but he was too busy assaulting her mouth for Dru to get a good look. But she did feel him. Fantasy did not live up to the reality. This was far better than a fantasy. She'd been living on hopeless whims for far too long. To have Jax on her lips, in her hands, on her, was a blessing. It was a dream come true, and so far, it was damn good. She could only imagine what would happen once they were both fully unclothed.
Dru didn't have to wonder for long because Jax was quickly ripping her clothes from her body. She was stripped to her bare body within seconds it seemed. He grabbed her legs and she instinctually wrapped them around his waist. The next thing she knew, Jax was forcing himself inside of her. It was hard. It was primal. It was…everything she had ever wanted. He felt so good. Her orgasm was quick to come upon her, and it was earth shattering. She called out his name like a prayer and rode the waves as long as they kept coming. It seemed never ending.
Jax wasn't too far behind her. He shouted her name in return. Dru felt such power in the way that he came. She felt desired beyond anyone else. She felt pleasured in a way she'd never experienced. Her body was drifting on a high and she never wanted to come back down.
He simply held her up against the wall. It was difficult since all Jax wanted to do was melt to the floor. He could barely feel his legs. His orgasm had been so intense he didn't know where she ended and he began. He'd had awesome sex before, but this…this was extraordinary. It was lightning and thunder. It felt like a tornado had come through the house and destroyed everything just to right it again. He'd been a slave to his body. Lust had taken over when he felt her irritation with him. She was hot when she was angry. He'd told her that countless times once they both reached their teenage years.
Jax might never have acknowledged the soul deep love he had for her, but he sure as hell had noticed her body over the years. Dru Fallon was a sexy little number. And knowing what she was capable of now…well, it just made her even sexier.
He still felt the little aftershocks around his cock. He didn't want to pull out. He wanted to stay inside of her for the rest of eternity, but considering he was softening he would have to retreat soon.
Jax kissed her on the forehead and whispered that he loved her. Dru had never felt so serene in all of her life. Everything was right in the world now. But yet, Dru knew a storm was brewing. She could only hope that Jax and the Sons came out unscathed. However, with everything that had already taken place, she was quick to deny a happy ending for anyone.
Nevertheless, she had her happy ending right here. If she were to die tomorrow, she'd die happy. She had one moment of total contentment. Her mind, her body, her soul had been at peace.
Diosa was nothing but ground zero. It looked like a war zone. The bodies of the women were gone, but Dru could still see them lying there lifeless. There was dried blood everywhere. No one had the time to come clean it up. Too many other things were happening that took precedence.
It was depressing to come here.
Dru whipped around when she heard glass being slammed down on the counter behind her. Tig was sitting out shot glasses. She hoped that he wasn't finding a way to make a drink celebratory. But instead, he got out the flute that the whiskey was in and began pouring drinks. Tig was completely somber.
"Here we go," Tig muttered.
"I'm sorry, ladies, but we made it right," Jax said toasting to their memory.
Bobby stepped outside of the porn warehouse to take a minute. He slung back a shot of bourbon that was inside the coffee cup. He was certainly starting early this morning, but he suspected that he had every right to. It had been a rough couple of days. He was tired.
He looked out towards the docks and found Wendy sitting looking at the same view. It was a beautiful one. He walked up and greeted her. Wendy did the same in return. Bobby could tell she had a lot on her mind.
"Can I bum one?" he asked referring to the cigarette she had in her hand.
"Yeah," Wendy muttered then started digging through her purse for her pack.
Bobby waited patiently as she got one out and even lit it for him. Wendy was a good woman. She had just gotten stuck in an impossible situation.
"Where's the rest of the guys?" she questioned.
"Working out of TM today," Bobby answered. "Jax doesn't want them to bring business around the kids, so Rat and Hap will stay here."
"How much longer?" Wendy sighed.
"Should be by the end of the day," Bobby said. He noticed how weary she was. "You doing okay?"
"I guess."
"I see you around the boy. That should feel good."
"Yeah, it does," Wendy nodded. "So, what's gonna happen now, Bobby? What's gonna come of all this?"
"Not sure," he shrugged.
"Does Jax know?"
"Doesn't matter. We're with him."
"You love him," Wendy mused. "I can see that."
Bobby scoffed. "We all do. I know how rough it's been between the two of you; all the shit that's gone down." He paused taking a puff off of the cigarette. "You see, Jax doesn't have an outer crust like most of us. He just lets everything in and swallows it whole. The shit just boils in his gut. Since he was a kid."
"Yeah, I know," Wendy nodded. "I never really knew what he was feeling until you know, it blew up in my face. But Dru…she's the only one I've seen that can get through to him. She knows him. The rest of us can only guess on what he's feeling, but she always knows and she knows how to deal with him."
"There's a special bond between the two of them; always has been. It all started with Jax and Opie. Dru wasn't involved then. The only one she liked was little Tommy," Bobby chuckled. "Tommy and Dru were inseparable. It didn't matter that he was sick. Dru didn't see him that way. She treated him like a kid; like the rest of us should have. And then when Tommy died…I think Dru became friends with Jax out of necessity. Jax was the closest thing to Tommy that she had, so she used that to her advantage. I don't think she realized that she would fall in love with him as she got older."
"She does love him," Wendy muttered.
"With her whole heart," Bobby finished. "She has done stuff for Jax and the club that only a woman in love would do. She's infinitely loyal to us, but especially to Jax." He looked over at Wendy. "So, it's certainly not fair to you when you still love him."
Wendy sneered. "I never had a chance, Bobby. I competed with Tara first. I knew as soon as Tara came back that I was out of the picture."
"Well, don't feel too bad. Tara always competed with Dru. Jax might not have realized it as soon as he should have, but he's always been in love with Dru. He just didn't see it. But I think Tara knew. I think she knew all along. Especially after Dru left for those four years. She seen the hell that Jax put himself through because she disappeared. No one does that unless they're in love. Jax was just too stubborn to see it," he explained.
"I saw it too, Bobby. It's no secret that Jax and Dru are meant to be together. Who else could put up with his shit?"
Bobby chuckled. "She doesn't put up with his shit. She lets him know how it is. I've seen the two of them fight enough to know that she doesn't take his shit."
"But she handles him, which is what Jax needs," Wendy commented.
Bobby nodded. "Especially now."
