Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 39 Seek
Between the MC's contacts and Gemma, it hadn't taken long before he learned Wendy was staying with her mother. Jax rode by her mother's mobile home and noticed Wendy's car wasn't parked on the grass.
He combed through the park until he found her car. Stupid junkie, he thought shaking his head. He'd caught on to her hiding her car in the visitor's parking area a year ago.
He rode back to her mother's trailer and parked. He knocked despite his doubt that she would open the door to him. He called her name. No reply. He tried the door knob and discovered it wasn't locked.
That was another typical Wendy move. She left doors unlocked. How the hell could he have married a woman who didn't have even this basic life skill?
He had spent far more time wondering why the hell he married Wendy than he had making the decision to marry her. He blamed her, but he had been the one to propose. It was his fault. Time to own up to his mistakes.
He had trusted her when she told him she'd just had her period the day before so it would be safe to have sex without a condom. He knew she was a junkie and she had lied to him in the past. It was convenient to believe her because he wanted to have sex and he was out of condoms. He definitely hadn't been thinking with his brain.
This was the price for both those terrible decisions. He was having a baby he didn't want with a woman he married and didn't love. He wasn't some acned high schooler. He was old enough to know better.
Hell, even in high school, he knew better than to have sex with a girl without using protection. Tara was the exception. She handled birth control. He trusted her and there had never been any slip-ups or late periods. It wasn't a romantic thing to say, but Tara was reliable. He could depend on her.
"Wendy," Jax called. He walked through the house noting that the TVs and DVD players were still there. Wendy hadn't pawned them yet. That was a good sign.
Could Wendy actually have gotten clean at rehab? Maybe pawning the rings had been more about moving on and not about using. They may not have been married long, but he knew her too well to believe she hadn't relapsed.
He hadn't found any drugs, but he did find her broken needle and syringe in the trash. It was possible she'd broken the needle to keep herself from using it. Not likely. More likely, she'd broken it when she was trying to use it.
He looked around for a piece of paper to leave her a note. He finally found a piece of paper near the phone and a little stub of a pencil. He just wrote "CALL ME" in all capital letters and his name. He left it on top of the TV remote. He hoped this personal touch would spur her to call him.
He couldn't wait around for her. He and Chibs found where the Mayans were storing the guns they had stolen from them. They were going to get them back plus a little extra payback. They were going to blow up the warehouse.
