Chapter 22

"I got it!" Juice yells, jumping up from his spot at the bar. "She as an iPhone so I was able to hack into her account and track here her phone is. She is at the address that Maci said was the abandoned house." He tells Jax. "Great. Let's go." Jax says. Herm looked at me and asked "Babe, are you okay with what we have to do?" I kissed him softly and said "Whatever you have to do to protect our daughter. I love you. Be safe." He kisses me back as well as Eliza and runs out the door to catch up with his brothers. Phil walks over and hands me a cup of coffee while we wait to see what happens.

Koz POV

Pulling up a couple of blocks down from the address of the abandoned house, we get our plan together. "Opie, Happy and Tig go in the back door. Koz, Bobby and Chibs are with me going in the front. Nothing happens here. Get her tied and gagged and take her to the cabin and we will handle shit from there." Jax says and we all head towards the house. Happy picked the lock on the back while Chibs did the same to the front and they snuck in both doors. There was no power in the house so we were able to hide a little better. Hearing noises from one of the bedrooms, we sneak to the door and listen. She is talking on the phone to someone. "I know Lacey but see where she messed up was that she snuck in his room. See, once he sees how good I am with his daughter, he will leave her and take me and I will get his crow and raise his child as my own. Stupid bitch won't know what hit her...yeah...I know...well, once he has Savy is when I will get the little girl...yeah...I don't care what he does with her. She's not my problem but he said he was going to have some fun tapping her shit." she says laughing at the last part. I couldn't take anymore. I walked in the door slowly and said "Carrie." She looked at me shocked and then smiled before walking over towards me. "Stop. Don't come any closer." I tell her. "But Koz, baby, how did you know I was here?" she asked. "Doesn't matter. Did you honestly think that you would be able to take my daughter and that would make me love you?" I asked and her smile faded. "How did you find out about that?" she asked. "Again. Doesn't matter." I tell her. The rest of the guys step in and Happy and Tig walk to her and pin her to the wall. "Who were you talking to on the phone?" I asked. "Just a friend. A sweetbutt in Tacoma." she tells me. "Who's going after my wife?" I asked. "Don't know." she tells me and smirks. Putting my hand to her throat, I squeeze tighter. "Who is going after my wife?" I asked again through clenched teeth. "Jacob Hale. He's had a thing for your bitch since she moved back to town." she says. "Fuck." Jax says pulling out his phone to call Phil. "Take her to the cabin." I order.

End of Koz POV

It seemed like hours before they came home. Phil got a call and has been standing diligently beside me and Eliza since. Something is wrong. I can feel it. "Phil? What did my husband say?" I asked. "Just that I am not to leave your side or Little Miss' until he gets here." He told me. I know he is just not sure what all he is allowed to tell me and I respect that. A couple of hours later, they all walk in the door and Herm takes Eliza from me and we walk to the dorm. "What's going on Herm?" I asked. "We took care of Carrie. She won't be back. But we did find out from her that her taking Eliza wasn't the only part of the plan. Apparently there was someone that was going to take you and give Eliza to Carrie." he tells me. "Who?" I asked and he won't answer me. "Herman. Who. Is. It?" I asked again. "Jacob Hale." He tells me. "Fuck fuck fuck." I curse. "What?" he asked me. "When I first moved back, before we got together, Jacob saw me at the diner and gave me his number. Told me he would love to take me out sometime. I turned him down and tore the card up but every time he saw me after that, he would ask me out. There were a few times that a town car would pull up in front of the house and would bring flowers to the door but I never answered the door. It all stopped when you moved in and we got together." I tell him. "You are staying here until we can figure out how to deal with Hale." he tells me and I know it's going to be a tough little bit.
