Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 104 Wrong
Tara tried to find some enthusiasm for going to the much rescheduled barbeque with Hale. There was only one thing wrong with Hale; he wasn't Jax.
She liked Hale and it would have been so much better if she could have fallen in love with him instead of Jax. Even now, she'd tried to stir up some passion for Hale. It just wasn't going to happen. It was Jax or no one.
Over barbequed chicken legs, grocery store potato salad and grilled zucchini, they talked about high school. It was the only thing they had in common now.
Hale shared the news that the meth that Wendy shot into her was contaminated with fentanyl and a variety of other drugs. She and the baby never stood a chance.
A small time drug dealer had been found dead from an overdose with the same thumb bag with a skull and cross bone sticker nearby. It chemically matched the drug profile of the spiked meth Wendy used. There was a bag of meth next to a stack of empty thumb bags and skull and cross bone stickers.
With the dealer's death, the case was closed and no one else would die from tainted crank. As far as the dealer who sold the now dead dealer the tainted crank, the search for that person was beyond Charming's borders. The Charming police were out of it; case closed.
Tara went home shortly after dinner. She faked a headache. It would have been more accurate if she had said she had a heartache.
Normally, she could divert her mind from thoughts of Jax, but reminiscing about the past and high school had left her emotionally gutted.
How could she have thrown away her relationship with the only man she ever loved? The past was closed. She couldn't do anything about it. She had the future and that was where she needed to focus.
When she went to Jax to apologize about the hospital situation and not telling him about the baby's paternity before she told him about the baby's death, she would try to turn that into her big opportunity to get Jax back. If that failed, she would grovel a bit about how everything was her fault when they broke up. If that failed, she would make Scarlett her new best friend to show Jax just how much she had grown and that she was no longer insanely jealous.
She would get Jax back. She had overcome enormous odds by becoming a neo-natal surgeon. By comparison, getting Jax back should be easy.
