Chapter 23
"Church" Clay yelled in the main room and all of the guys filed into the chapel to discuss what to do about Jacob Hale. I knew he was sick but didn't think he would go to this length but then again I shouldn't be surprised. The man doesn't take the word no very well and thinks he is above the law sometimes. "It's going to be okay baby. The guys will take care of everything." Gemma tells me. "I know but I'm scared. I know the guys will take care of things but I know something is going to happen. There isn't much they can do without blow back on the club. He knows some powerful people and could take Herm away from me if he thinks that it will make me go to him." I tell her. "You don't know that." she says. "But if we have something on him, then the guys have something to use against him." I tell her. "I don't understand." she says confused. "Phil? Can you get the guys for me? I have an idea." I asked him.
Phil goes into the chapel and tells the guys that I have an idea for Jacob Hale. Leading me into the chapel, I sit in Herm's lap and Clay looks to me. "What's this idea you have Sweetheart?" he asked. "I know you are trying to find a way to get at Jacob without it blowing back on the club. But the thing is that he knows a lot of powerful people and can put anything he wants on you guys. But, if we had something on him, as leverage, he won't be able to do shit." I tell them. "Right but you have something on him?" Jax asked. "Not yet, but, I have a dear friend that owes me a favor and I know how to get what we need." I tell him. "What's this big plan Sis?" Opie asked. "What if I made some baked goods and took them to Jacob's office. Make him think that I was reconsidering being with him? I am sure that Uncle Tiggy here has a secret ingredient I can add to the recipe and when he is out cold, my friend can come in and I can get some photographic persuasion to use against him." I explain. "But why would that make him back off?" Juice asked. "Well, that is because my dear friend Venus is a little different than most women. Sweetheart, I think her package is bigger than yours." I say and they all catch what I am getting at. "Are you sure she would help?" Clay asked. "Absolutely. She went through a really hard time before I moved home and I gave her a place to stay while she got on her feet and helped her with some family issues so she owes me. Plus, she's one of my best friends and would do anything for me." I explain. "Why have you not brought her around?" Jax asked. "Because as soon as she walks in the door, Uncle Tiggy there would be all over her and I don't want to traumatize her too much." I say and they all laugh. "Make the call, Savy." Clay says and they all agree.
Walking out of the chapel with the guys and Herm pulls me aside. "You don't have to do this Sav. We can handle this." he tells me. Touching the side of his face I smile at him, "I want to. This way, we have leverage against him." I tell him and kiss his lips softly. Pulling out my phone I call my favorite Belle that doesn't tell. "Well, hello there my dear Savannah. To what do I owe the pleasure?" she croons into the phone. "Hello V. I need your help with something." I tell her. "Of course darling. Do we need to meet?" she asked. "Yeah, plus it gives us a chance to catch up." I tell her and we set the time and place.
Asking her to meet us at the rest stop on the highway, we all head over to one of the picnic tables where we can have some privacy. The only ones here are Venus, me, Herm and Opie. We brought Eliza along so that Venus can finally meet my daughter. "Dear Child, she is absolutely precious. Looks just like you, my dear." she says as she holds Eliza. "Eliza, this is my husband Kozik and my brother Opie. Guys this is my best friend Venus Van Damm." I introduce them. "Now, what can I do to help my dear Savannah?" she asked. "Well, we have someone that is a little high up in the ranks of our city government that seems to think that he can cause me problems. He had it planned out to kidnap me for himself and to give one of the club whores my daughter to try to take my husband from me." I explain. "And if your family tries to show him the error of his ways, it could cause even more problems I assume?" she asked. "Exactly." I tell her. "So, Ladies and Gentlemen, what is our plan?" she asked. "You'll help us?" Herm asked. "You, my dear are not the only one that would do anything for our dear beauty here." she says and I go over the details that I have planned. I am not going to let that piece of shit hurt my family.
