I was coming back to Tara's house.
When I saw my mom and Tig, my mom was knocking on the door, so I spoke up and said, What do you want, mother?
She then turned to her side and looked at me, asking where is Jax .
Then, as she said, Jax opened the door.
saying yes, Mom?

Gemma replied. Why didn't yall come back? Where is Tara?
Jax replied. Okay, mom just ain't feeling well.
Gemma replied. Well, I'm going to go talk to her.

I then stepped in front of her, telling her to go away and for her to leave Tara alone.
Tig steps up next to her, saying yall should have came back.

Jax said to him. We had to deal with something and are still dealing with it, so we will see you there.
My mom got in her car, looking upset probably because of the way her children were talking to her.

Tig said to Jax, You don't put pussy before your brothers; you two should know this.
I had replied to him before Jax could. Tell the shithead we call Prez that.
Then he's one man; we all have families and a town to look after.
Instead, he wants to start WW3 with the taco bell club.

Jax said to Tig. We will see you later, tiger.
Tigs replied. Ok, brother, okay.

Tig then hop on his bike and follow my mom.
I told my brother it's done; Jax he's in a shallow one.
After talking to Tara for a while, we decided to let her rest.
We did decide to head to Opes, and when we got there, we saw him arguing with his wife.

Theme: To some people, this life ain't right. Waking up every day knowing you might have to take someone else's life
Out of their family's sight, when you live the life of an outlaw, you better be right to fight. In the heat of it, there's no thinking twice; if you ain't ruthless enough, you might go insane and lose your mind. If you're even thinking twice, don't take that cut and cross that line because, in the end, you've got to look this life in the eye.

Donna said to him. What the hell is going on, Ope?
He replied. Something came up. Clay needed me.
She replied to him. The mill called. McCain says if you're not there to pick up the second shift,
Your ass is canned.
He replied back. I'll deal with it.
She replied back to him. Deal with it how? You're not there; you're out of work.
He replied back. We've got something going here, Donna.
She replied, You're a lying piece of shit.
Your promises were just smoke, weren't they?
He replied. I never lied to you.
I said I'd find a way to earn straight.
She replied. They're going to fire you.
The club more important than taking care of the kids and me?
He replied.
No. It's more important than spitting sawdust. I'm not going to live this way anymore.
She replied. I'm done with this shit.
She then walks past me and Jax, pissed off.

Opie looked at me and my brother, saying, I know you two, I am fine.
I told him maybe you should go after her.

He replied to me. No, I can't keep doing this.
Half our fights are about money, and I can't get ahead without the club.
I need back in Guns Protection Runs, all of it.

Jax replied. But you still have to talk to her brother.
He replied back. I'm done talking; I want back in Jax.
Jax said I will talk to Clay when I see him.

Later, we were at the hospital. Jax walks into the room my nephew was in.
I waited outside the door, but I could overhear him and Tara talking.

Jax says to Tara, How is he doing?
She replied. He is a strong-willed little guy.
He said to her. I thought you were going to take a personal day.
She replied back to him. I tried to
I had to get out of there, you know? It's a light day.
He replied to her. you ok?
She said. I don't know What- What'd did Eva do with him?
He replied back. It's done, Tara; all you need to know
She replied back. What did we do?
He said to her. When Kohn showed up in Charming, he knew this could only end one of
two ways either you dead or him.
It ended the right way.
She replied back. Maybe I came back knowing the same thing.
After all, this was the only place I felt safe.

I then walked into the room, saying it was survival. Tara,
You did what you had to do.
She replied back. Is that how this works? You guys make up your own moral code for everything,
Jax said I never killed anyone like that before Tara. I don't know what the code is.
I said to myself, I have.
She said. I'm sorry.
He replied to her. I've been waking up every day since he was born with a sick feeling.
wondering who is going to die today. And it scares the shit out of me.
Then I woke up one morning, and it was gone. That scares me more.

She replied. Hey, you're in shock.
he said back to her. I don't think anything could shock me anymore.
she replied. What do you need from me? What can I do?
He said that to us both. Please don't go anywhere, you two.
I said I'm not going anywhere, and Tara agreed, saying me either, Jackson.

Later in the night, I walked up to Jax and Tara in our clubhouse.

Tara is speaking to Jax. She wants me dead, you know that right?
He replied to her. I will handle my mother. Later, me and Jax or Charter and the presidents and vice presidents, whom Clay had Juice call to Charming, were in our chapel.

Jax asked. What kind of deal?
Clay replied. We sell them guns.
They settle all our beefs with all of us.
Any territory hassles, any business disputes—it all lands in our favor.
I asked. You made that call without a vote.
he replied. Yeah, I set it up; we'll vote now. If this thing passes, you all sit down with the Mayans in your own territories and work stuff out. Take the win.

Juice said. What about Laroy and the Niners? We've had a deal with them for years that we don't sell to the wetbacks. I replied to him. Juice, Laroy don't get any loyalty to us. He's been buying from other dealers. He reneged on the A.K. sale.
Jax's added to the conversation by saying, Right, ain't no reason at all why we can't branch out.
But the peace we make with the Mayans could start something much worse with the Niners.
Clay replied. We'll deal with that fire when it catches.
Tig says. You know, these assholes tried to kill you, man. We're supposed to just pretend that didn't happen?
Clay. No. That debt gets settled. But not by us. It's got to be some outside charter. You up for it, Hap?
Happy replied. I'll do this thing. It will be perfect.
Clay replied. On that, I have no doubt: everybody is in favor of the Mayan deal. Anybody opposed ok its settle we make the deal later after the other charters left clay said to us. Cameron was supposed to kill that piece of shit Hefner before Monday. Hefner's squeezing the Irish for more payoff cash, so he's going to intercept the cargo.
Tig replied. How is that our problem?
Clay replied back. It ain't a problem. It's a gift from the Irishman. Look. We take out the port commissioner, and he's going to give us back the 200K that we just forked over plus a month of free guns. Our warehouse rebuild is crushing us. It's the cost of raw materials. Free guns and cash? We could be seeing black before we put a roof on. I replied Murder for hire? That's a dirty business, Clay.
Piney replied to me. It's not about money. That asshole killed McKeevy. Michael was a friend of mine and your dad's. And he went back a long way with SAMCRO.
Clay asked. Jax what you thinking VP.
Jax replied. I agree with Piney. McKeevy was a friend. I think we owe it to the Irish.
I replied. Ok, but how was Cameron going to do it? Juice replied. Hefner's got a Sunday ritual. Church with the fat wife, sex with the black girlfriend She lives in a shitty hood right outside his nice Oakland suburb. And that's where we take him out. Bobby replied. Black on white hate crime Who gives a shit? I asked. Who does it? Opie replied, I do.
Jax replied to him. It's been a while since you suited up, brother, but I'll do it. Opie said. I can do this. Clay said to juice Get Cameron to confirm the payoff: it will be Jax, Ope, Bobby, and Eva. No mistakes. All right.

After we had walked out, I overheard Clay talking to Bobby.
I want Ope pulling the trigger on this. I want to make sure he's really back. Bobby replied. I think we all do.
I say to Opie. You look like shit, man. Opie replied. Donna took the kids to her mom's place. I can never sleep when the house is empty. Jax says to Opie This gig doesn't make sense for you, Ope.
He replied to Jax. Why do you keep trying to push me away from this? You're the one who keeps saying I can't live half in, half out.
Jax replied. Because you need it too much. It becomes about money, then shit gets sloppy.
Opie replies to Jax. This is not about money. I'm doing this for the same reason you are. To prove I'm SAMCRO. I replied for Jax. He's got nothing to prove.
Opie says to me. That's not what I hear. Look, I'm ready for this, brother, sister. Let's just get it done.

Me, Opie, Jax, and Bobby put black hoodies on and hopped in a four-door car and go to the location.

Bobby said to us. That is his gray Mercedes in the garage. I asked. Which apartment?
He replied. Unit nine. It's the top floor, third from the right. Cameras cover the garage. Jax asks: Should we do this on the upper level. If this guy's got half a brain, he's going to be cautious and armed. We abort if anyone is seen. No risks. Bobby said to Opie Ope, you take the front steps. I'll take the back. You two stay in case he gets by.

Jax says while Opie walks off into the distance.
No. Ope. I'm gonna take the front. Bobby replies It's the way Clay wanted it. It's about Ope jumping back in. Jax replied Yeah, I know. All right. Watch him. All right, I got your back in case he gets by you. The second this goes down, I'm in the car, motor running. Okay,
My brother and I wait in the car; we see Opie and Bobby run back to the car, jumping in, and Jax pulls off.
