Trouble In Paradise
Abel P.O.V
Three days later and we finally are back in Charming, Dad and the other guys are heading straight to the clubhouse, but I am just so exhausted that I opted to head back home. "What the hell?" I thought as I walked through the door and caught sight of my parents' wedding photo smashed into smithereens on the floor. "Mom?" I called out hesitantly. No reply. "Thomas?" Silence. "Ryanna?" All that I hear is my voice bouncing off the walls. I whipped out my cell phone and dialed Dad's cell phone. "Abel?" I hear him greet. "Dad, you need to get out here. Your wedding photo is smashed in pieces, and nobody is home." He replies immediately, "Stay there, Hap and I will be two minutes." I reply in the affirmative and sit down on the couch, exhaling with a slight tinge of fear.

"Hap!" I call out as I stalk towards my bike, "Abel got to the house, but says that Tara and the kids aren't there and that my wedding photo is smashed." His eyes reveal nothing, but I see his back straighten almost imperceptibly before he nods his head and marches towards his bike as well. Hopping onto my bike and Hap doing the same, we sped off. My heart is pounding through my chest, and I am feeling the same panic I felt when I found out that Salazar had taken Tara. Suddenly I am struck with just exactly I had done in Oregon. I fucked some croweater, why the hell did I do that? I love Tara, with all my heart, she's my soul mate. This I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, and it's not as if our sex life is lacking. Even after all these years it still catches my breath, I have never experienced anything like it. What the hell have I done? She can never know, she'll leave me for sure. I can't live without her, with that last thought I sped a little faster.

"Dad," I called out as I heard the front door open. Standing up, I walked over and saw him crouching at the shards of glass still littering the floor. He looks up at me and I can see his worry, feel the fear radiating from his body. I can see Hap make his way through the entry and head upstairs to check out the house. I didn't say much, just stood by my dad as he worked whatever he had to out. "Jax" I heard Hap call out, "She left". Dad stood up and spat out "What?" Hap actually looked uncomfortable for a split second before turning all business mode. He cleared his throat and began, "There is no sign of forced entry, Thomas' and Ryanna's rooms are untouched except for missing clothes. Your bedroom is cleared of Tara's scrubs and other clothes and her duffle bag is gone. Nobody abducted them….they left on their own."
