opening 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.

present day.

I had woken up in a hospital bed.
I looked around me, and I saw Donna.
my mom Emily and Tristen

Me: How long have I been out?
Donna, are you okay? I said that with relief on my face.
Emily: Oh, Eva, you're ok! After she said that, she kissed me on the lips.
Tristen: oh God Eva I taught we had lost you.
Donna: Thanks to your quick warning, I only took two to the back.
The bullets missed everything important, so I had to stay here for about four weeks.
I was asleep for about three days.
Gemma: Oh, baby girl, you're finally awake. You've been asleep.
For a month and three weeks, I am called your bother.

As she was getting ready to call Jax, the door
opened up and
Jax, Tara, and Clay walked : well, this is a nice surprise.

Tara: Oh, thank God you're up, Eva.
Some of the other doctors taught you were not going to make it.
You had been shot four times. Two went through, and two got
stuck, but...Amelia is dead; she was hit seven times.
Four went into you, and three were stuck in her.
She died on location, we believe, if the last three rounds hit you.
You could have died.

Jax: Good that you're alive, sister, we've got some things to talk about.
Hey, can you women leave so Clay and me
can discuss club business with Eva?

Everyone but Clay and Jax
had stepped
out of the room

Me: I am going to change in the bathroom first.
then you can let me know what's mom had left a change of clothes for me in a bag.

I walked into the bathroom and changed.
into a blue pair of jeans and a black tank top.
And step out, saying to Clay and Jax.
What's the update?

Clay: well, we met with our new Irish.
Pipeline the other day, an Irish named Cameron Hayes
and his son. Edmond.

Jax: we set something up with them.
but it's only short term sis. but it will keep us in business till the heat dies down.
The guns are coming from Jabalia.
said we can run the guns through northern Cali Oregon Washington We told them we were out of the errand business, but

They brought up the fact that we still got ATF on us.
I ask what's the deal; they say we sell, ship, and store, and you load your saddlebags.
And deliver charter to charter, they said we get 20.

He said his son will be are point guy here; he told us it was a win-win. We talked it through and voted on it, but we can always squash it if you think we should; after all, we did not get your proxy.
I told them they get us Russian guns so we can keep business in Oakland running we can use their facility to store and assemble them.
then we will run their hardware for them up the coast told them it will cost them
30 percent; they said 25, I said 28, and the Russian stock.
We voted on it, and we : But there's more.

Me: there always is.
Clay: We talked to Laroy, so we no it was not the 9ers.
Jax: So were good with them.
Clay: We were thinking of Alvarez after we took his money and left him.
We had Tramel look into it. A black Range Rover got jacked outside a bar.
In Alameda that same night, it turned up two days later, down the road from the Mayans.
clubhouse in Hayward Mac-10 casings on the floor. The same kind of gun they used to shoot you three with and killed
Amelia By the end of the day, we'll know who shot you because the driver left prints on the dash.
You, Opie, and the Normand are the ones to kill him; you, those two Tigs, and Jax will find him.

Tara walked back in when Clay left the room.
Tara: Eva, you're free to go, but you should rest a few days—three at least.
Me: ok I can do that, mm Jax." I'll see you later at the clubhouse.

I then got up and put my lace combat boots on, and my cut on it still had my blood on it. I then left my room.
And as I walked down the hall, I saw Emily.
Waiting she waved me over when I got close enough.
She kissed me on the : I am so happy you're okay.

Me: Not that I am not happy to see you, Em
but I taught you went to Texas?
Emily: well about that, I missed you.
I tried calling you, but Tristen picked up.
and told me you were in the hospital, so I got on a bus.
and here I am.
Me: I see well. Thank you for coming, beautiful.
Emily: well, there is something else, Eva.
I heard Tristen crying, and I tried to ask her why.
but she would not tell me anything. Maybe you can try?

I said to her, I will look into it
I looked at the clock near the exit, and it said three o'clock. I then headed
outside and was happy to see my bike. I hopped on it and put my hand into my Cut and found my keys.
I started it up and left the hospital. I pulled up in front of Opie's.

and got off my bike and
went and knocked on the door.
and Kenny had opened the door.

Kenny: Hello, Aunt Eva, I am happy to see you are okay.
Thank you for saving my mom.
Me: It was nothing, Ken and your family.
Plus, she ducked down, as I said, so it was all good.
Hey, where is your sister?
Kenny: Ellie is in her room. Want me to get her?

I told Kenny, No, I will talk.
To her in her room, Kenny opened the door all the way.
up so I could enter the house, and I walked upstairs to Ellie's room and knocked on her door.
She told me to come : Hello Ellie,

Ellie: Eva, your out? She jumped up from her bed and hugged me.
Me: Yup, how have you been?" I said this while hugging her back.
Ellie: I've been okay; are you in any pain? I was so scared.
When I heard you and Mom had been shot, it's to bad Amelia is dead.
Me: I agreed she was a little annoying, but she did not have to die like that.
so question for you.

Ellie: yes Eva?
Me: I know you don't go to the same schools and all.
But do you know Tristen Oswald?
Ellie: you mean the girl you call sister?
Who got sexually assaulted at Fun Town?
The whole school was talking about that it's bad again now as well.
Me: Yes, that Tristen. Wait, Ellie, what do you mean now?
Ellie: I am not surprised she would not tell you, Eva.
Me: Tell me what, Ellie? What's going on!?
Ellie: I heard a rumor in school that Abigail Reed
Older sister Camila was picking on Tristen about
What happened at Fun Town making her cry.
Me: I see, and do they go to charming high?
Ellie: yes.
Me: ok thanks. I will see you around, kid.
I then left Opie's house and got on my bike.
then my cell phone. Rung It was Jax, so I : Hello, dear brother of mine.

Jax: Hey Eva, so we caught the Mayan who shot at you. Where are you?
at? I will send you the location.
Me:I've got something to do; let the Nomad and Opie deal with him.
Hey, you went to Charming High, right? What time is school out for them?
Jax: Are you sure, sis? And at 4:30, why?
Me: I am sure and no reason, just curious.
Jax: OK, then I will talk to you later tonight. Bobby is getting out tonight.
Me: ok cya.

then I hanged up my phone and started my bike.
I first went to the store to grab a pop.
than to the school; the time was 4:20. I waited, then I heard a bell ring and saw Tristen.
Running out of the school with three girls chasing behind her.

Girl 1: Oh, look at the little slut! She'll probably fin to go get on her knees for a clown again.
Girl 2: "Good one, Camila.
The girl said this while laughing.

I walked up behind a dirty blonde-haired girl who was
Camila and said "boo" really : "Who the hell are you?

Tristen: sis?
Girl 2: Camila, that's Eva Teller, the one your dad told us about.
who is apart of the Sons.
Camila: really? You're so cool, Eva. Can I sit on your bike?
How is it to be in an all-boy MC? Is it true that Jackson is your brother?
Me: "No, you cannot sit on my bike." Yes, it is true that Jackson is one of my brothers.
the oldest; actually, I see you met my little sister.
Camila: "Oh, who?"
Tristen: "She means me."
Camila: This slut?
Me: "Ay little bitch, watch how you talk about my sister.

I then got in her face and stared her down; she then looked away, scared.
Me: What is it, Camila? You can talk all that shit with your friends, but you're scared to look me in the face?
You ain't nothing but a big mouth little girl trying to bully others with her little fake friends.I then turn around so she can see my cut.

She looked at it and saw the bullet wholes and blood, then looked away again.
I turned to face her again.

Me: You see my back. I was almost killed recently.
My little sister got raped and almost died.
If you can laugh at her, then laugh at me, I dear you.
You annoying little brat now because I am in a good mode
I won't slap you silly; just say sorry to Tristen.
and don't bully her again, ok?

Camila: Ok, Eva. I am sorry, Tristen. She said, while
crying she ran away, and her two friends followed her.
Tristen: Wow, Eva, thank you, sis.
Me: Come on, you're coming with me.

She got on my bike behind me after I had sat down.
I started my bike, and we left the school grounds.
On our way to our destination, I asked her why she didn't say anything.

Tristen: I did not want to snitch, sis.
Me: I am not the law, though, Tristen, you could have told me.
Tristen: But you just got out; I did not want to worry you.
Me:Tris, I've got your back whenever, regardless of what I might be going through, ok?
Tristen: Okay, sis, Eva?
Me: yes?
Tristen: I love you, sis. She said this while holding me tighter.
Me: and I love you, little sis.

We pulled into the compound; it was pretty dark outside. I saw the nomad.

He had walked up to me and said, it's done I got off my bike with Tristen.
We went to a table that was sitting outside and sat down I saw others around the outside of the clubhouse.
and a few inside. I saw Opie and Donna with their kids at another table eating together.

I saw a car pull inside the compound.
And four guys got out of it, one of whom was wearing a nice suit.
Tigs and Clay walked up to them. I told Tristen to
wait at the table, and I walked up next to Clay, looking at them.

Clay: We're closed.
Man in suit: We're not here for car repairs.
I understand you're a Camacho fan.
Clay: Who are you? As he said that other members of SAMCROW walked up to us.
A guy with prison Aryan Ink said to clay just here to give you a little friendly advice.

Clay: And that advice is?
Man in suit: We feel it would be best for all parties.
If you stop dealing firearms to the one 9ers and Mayans MC
Clay: I have no idea what you're talking about; we just fix cars and love Harleys.
Tigs: That's one of Darby's guys with them back there.
Man in suit: Mr. Darby is one of our supporters.
Me: like you're any better?" And there you go again, telling stories.

At that point, Tigs pulled his gun out and aimed it at the man in the suit.
Man in suit: Are you gonna shot me, Mr. Triger, in front of all these people?
Clay: Look, I don't know what Darby told you? But my daughter here is right there, just stories.
and I don't know what your angle is, but let me be real clear: nobody threatens SAMCRO.
Me: and nobody tells us what we can and can't do.
Clay: not black, brown, yellow, or white
So why don't you just climb back in your little German
Clown car and drive back to Nazi vill Cause the next time
You piss all over my shoes, he will kill you, and I don't give a fuck how many eyes see him do it.

Man in suit: My shop opens in a few weeks.
Till then, enjoy. He then puts a box on the ground.
And he and the other three with him get back in their car.
One of them said sorry to my mom before getting in the car.
Clay says to juice I wanna know everything. He then hands Juice a
card that the man in the suit gave him. A few minutes later, a car pulls up, and Bobby hops out.
Everyone at the party Cheers him on, and SAMCRO, minus me, taps him and pushes him around playfully. I went back to the table Tristen was at.

End of the chapter.
