Later in the week, earlier in the morning
I woke up and got out of bed.
And I put my Cut on, seeing as I slept in my sky blue shirt.
I put my jean shorts on and brushed my hair, thinking I can't.
Wait to see what happens today, I said to myself.
I walked out of my room and into the chapel, where I saw some of my fellow brothers.
And my actual older brother, Jackson. Clay was on the phone with someone I don't know.

Clay replied talking on the phone. Yeah.
No, me too. A'ight. Thanks, Jason.
Jackson asked, Clay, Rosen?
Clay replied back to him. Yeah. Luann's in the clear. Otto, not so much.
Tig asked Clay, Why? What happened?
Clay laughs a little. And said. He shattered Stahl's face.
I took the cigarette I was fin to light out of my mouth and laugh.
Tigs said I love that man.
Clay said. He wanted to prove he was going to Rat.
We're clear of the ATF ladies and germs.

The other guys just laugh.

Later in the day, I heard someone say Clay Cops!
Then a group of cops and ATF goons came into the clubhouse/hotel building.
Saying Down Get down everyone down I was in the hallway walking with my brother to see what was happening, and a cop pushed my brother on the wall, and I pushed the agent off of him, but I was tased by an agent. I feel down, but I didn't pass out, and then I saw Agent Sthal walking with a broken nose.
Saying. Robert Munson, you're under arrest for the murder of Brenan Hefner.
Bobby replied. Who? a cop said to Bobby while handcuffs were being put on him. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you... in a court of law.
Clay said. I'll call Rosen Bobby. You just sit tight.
Sthal kicked him, and he grunted in pain. My mom said to Sthal Hey! Bitch! She then spit at her. Stahl then kicks my mom. While Clay was in pain, grunting. Some random man, who I believe was an agent, said. Oh! Easy now! Sthal said to my mom after kicking her in the stomach. Hey! Manners, darling. Manners. My mom groans.
I said to Sthal. Hey, bitch, don't fucking kick my mom; you no nose skank. She then turned towards me and smiled, then told her men were done here, and they all in the club chapel, we are having church.

Juice talking to us, they got Bobby at Federal Plaza in Stockton. A.T.F. says they got an eyewitness who saw Bobby kill Hefner.
Clay asked. What? Jax, is that possible?
From mine and Eva's end, it was all clear.
Clay said. Shit's a goddamn bluff.
I replied. You can't charge somebody on a bluff. Whatever they got, it's real.
Chibs says. Who is the bastard witness?

Tigs Says. We're a man short.
Where's Ope?
Juice replied to Tigs. Called every number. There are no answers.
I replied. Yeah. I tried Donna's phone too.
Piney replied to us. Maybe Donna changed the goddamn home phone.

Jax says. Me and Eva will go get him.
Tig replied. Well, you two had better find him. Now,
Jax replied. What the hell does that mean?
Tig replied. Only one other member was a witness to that hit.
One of them is in jail, and the other one

Jax replied, cutting him off. Hey! Don't even say it, asshole!
Tig replied. You better curb your disrespect.
I said to Tig. You better watch what you say to your VP.
Asshole!
Tigs said to me. You should not even be a member. Your A female.
It's a joke; you're even at church, so be quiet and let the men talk.
I replied to Tig in anger. What?! I have my patch.
I made my path into this club, you son of a bitch. I was about to charge at him, but Jax stopped me and.

Clay said, Everybody's nerves are fried, but we can't unravel here! Now Jax and Eva are going to go get him, and they're going to bring him back here, and we're going to find out what this is.
Piney said. The only reason my son isn't here... is because he doesn't know what happened.

Jax said. Exactly.

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.

During the search for Opie, Jax and I decided to go ask Unser, so we heard
A female cop says to follow her, so we do and go to the jail cells.

A female blonde cop says to us. You got one minute.
When A.T.F. finds out, she'll have a fit.
Jax replied. Thanks, Candy.
She replied. Sure thing.
Jax asked Unser. What the hell are you doing in here, man?

Unser replied. Stahl's detaining me for questioning.
I say, Jesus Christ. And ask Unser. So, do you have any idea what happened to Ope? His whole family's gone.
He replied to me. I don't know Eva. Ask Hale. He's Stahl's little errand boy.
Jax replied. He's more than that. The other night when we were in here, he was face down in that shit.
Unser scoffs, saying idiot.

I said. Well, that's just gross.
I mean with her? The wicked witch—eww.
Jax said to Unser We got to find Ope, man.
You hear anything. You'll let me or Eva know?
Unser replied. Of course.
Jax replied, Alright. Hey. Thanks, man.

After talking to Unser
Jax and I decided to head back to.
Opie's neighbor Hood.

Jax asked, What time was that? (He was asking what time she saw Opie and his family leave.
She replied. Headlights woke us up. Must've been around 2:30. There were three black sedans.
The whole family left, took bags with them. Is he in trouble again?
I replied to her. We don't know. But Thanks.

after talking to his neighbor)
We decided to head back to TM.
As we pulled up, we saw our mom and.
A short woman with grey and silver hair.

Jax said to our mom. What's Opie's mom doing here?
She replied to him. She's picking up her grandchildren from the Department of Justice facility.
I replied. Oh, my God.
My mom said to us asking I need answers
You two, did Opie get picked up on that Hefner shit?

Jax said to Opie's mom: Hey, Mary.
She replied to him. What the hell did my kid do this time?
Jax replied. Yeah, nice to see you too.

Later in the chapel, with the rest of Samcro,
Jax said to the guys. Feds picked him up in the middle of the night.
Juice asked. He go out in cuffs?
I replied to him. Neighbors say no.
Clay said for all of us to hear. Ope's debt has been cleared. Federal wire transfers.

I replied. Maybe it's a setup?
Tig replied. Maybe. Or he gave Bobby up. Now he's gone into witness protection.
Jax asked. Why? If he wasn't arrested, what's the leverage?
Clay replied Who knows how long they've been chipping away at him, Jax? Hell, A. T. F?
They could've gotten to him while he was still in Chino.

I said That's some paranoid shit.
Tig says. Is it? I mean, Opie's been a miserable prick since he got out.
Maybe they've offered him a new, debt-free life—just what Donna wanted.
Jax replied. Ope's not a rat. He did five years for this club.
Tigs replied. Maybe he doesn't want to do 25 more.

Clay says I'm going to see Rosen tomorrow.
We'll get some clarity.
Give us a minute.
Everyone, even me, said. Of course.
The guys left in front of me, leaving me to close the door. I put my back up against the wall and listened in.

Claying was talking to Jax and said that you and I both love Opie.
I don't want to believe this shit either. But...
we got to prepare ourselves for a truth we may not like.
Jax replied. He'd never sell out the club.
Clay replied. And what if he did?

Jax said. Then I'll kill him myself. He left the room; I was behind the door, so he did not see me.
Clay then called me in, so I went into the chapel, closing the door.
I asked Clay. Yeah, what do you want, Pres?
Clay said to me. First, I wanted to say sorry for Tigs bullshit he was saying earlier.
you're right you Earn your patch, and cut don't let it get you.

I replied. He thinks so little of me, so I am. going to go out there
and kick his ass and see what he thinks then, as I was about to get out of my chair.
Clay said to me. Eva, what do you think I should do about Opie?
I replied. Well, Clay, we don't know shit for certain, so you wait on it.
Clay replied And if he is Rat and Jax can't do it?

I replied to Clay. Clay, I did a lot for this club, as you already know.
So if someone is a rat or a pig, they're basically a threat or enemy.
and I will kill them without a doubt we done here?
He said, Yeah, we're done, Eva.

( I then left the chapel. And went into the bar area.
I saw Tigs sitting on a barstool, so I walked up to him.
saying, Hey, Brotha, he turned to me and looked at me.
I then punched him in the nose, knocking him.
From his stool, he got up and swung a left punch at me.
but I steeped to the side, dodging his punch, but he caught my lip.
With a right cutting it, I then backed up, and he charged at me.
But I kneed him in the face, busting his nose.

Clay then
Came out saying, That's enough, you're done now.
Hug and squash it.
So we hugged, and he got a little blood on my shirt. And he smiled, saying that was fun. Sorry for earlier.
you earned my respect. I then laughed and headed outside.
and got on my bike. and turn on my music and listen to Won't Back Down by Reel Big Fish.
and headed to find Jax.

(I walked in and saw my mom and brother talking. I saw a blonde in a wheelchair holding my nephew, my mom said to my brother.
little family reunion?
He asked. How long have you been watching?
She replied. Since 1978.
He replied to her. She just wants to hold her kid. You of all people should get that.

Do you think she has a right to hold that baby?
I said to her. Every mom should get a chance with their kid.
even if she did some dumb shit.
Jax then says to our mom. She's right, mom, and she has as much right as I do. Look, Mom, I wasn't shooting crank, but I bailed on that kid too.
I'm making up for that now. She just wants the same chance.

My mom asked Jax. Is she clean?
He replied. Yeah. Checking into a halfway house next week.
Staying at the Ramada until then.
My mom replied. Her bags are at your house. She might as well stay there.
Jax replied. Really?
She replied. Well, your sister has a point. You said she was trying to make up for her mistake. I'm all about second chances.
I laughed, and Jax said to her, No, you're not.
She then asked us. So anything new on Ope and Bobby?
I replied, nope. No, nothing.
She said. I don't care what anybody says. Opie didn't rat.
Jax replied, We know. Thanks, Mom.

My mom then looked at me asked baby.
I almost forgot to ask what happened to your lip. It looks like it was bleeding is that blood on your shirt?
I replied. Yeah, Tig caught me with a right.
Jax looked at me confused and asked, Did you get into a fight with Tig?
I replied to him, Yup, I knocked him off his stool and kneed him in the face. His nose was gushing with blood.

My mom said to me Well, at least you won. You two good now?
Jax replied to me. Jesus Christ, Eva
I replied that we hugged, so yes, I think were good. Clay stopped us from going too far.

(Later tomorrow morning, I wake up, and put my cut on, and go downstairs to see my brother and Opie. I can hear him tell Opie.
Come on. They're all waiting, and then they walk in.
Piney laughs and asks. How are you doing, son?
Opie replied I'm good. I'm good.
Chibs said. It's good to see you back here.

I said to Opie Welcome home, brother. You okay?
Opie replied. Yeah. Ty Eva
I told Jax and Ope, Let's go on in.
Chibs said. Hold on. Phones, please. We all went inside and sat down, and Piney asked Clay
Where's Tig?

Clay replied to him. He will be here in a minute. I appreciate you coming in, Ope. It says a lot.
Jax says to Clay. It says he's not a rat.
Clay said to Opie. We got one member in jail and another in a wit-pro facility. You can understand my worry.
Opie replied. Yeah, I know how this looks—what Stahl has done. She set me up to look like a rat. It's all a lie. She threatened me with my own club. I don't know who the hell the witness is, but it sure as shit ain't me.
She tried to turn Donna against me; she offered her that whole wit-pro bullshit dream.
But she turned it down. She could've walked away. She trusted me that if I came in here and had the chance to tell you guys the truth... that I could make this right. So I'm just saying that... getting squeezed made me realize I can't do this with one foot out the door.
I'm here. I'm in. No more doubt. No more mistakes.

I said. to Opie, You're a good man. Thank you for trusting us.
My brother, for coming here for coming home.
Opie said. Thank you, Eva, for saying that. (He then asked Clay. I good with you, Clay? The M. C?
Clay replied. Yeah. We're good.
Chib says. Ah! Good news,

Juice said. Opie. Great news.
Piney said. Hey. I'm proud of you, son.
Opie replied. Thanks, Pop.
Jax said to Opie. See? It's all good, bro.
Piney said. Jax. Think I could buy you, kids, a drink?
I said to them. I got a doobie.
