While Tara was looking over her next patient's file before going to check on them, her mind started to drift back to what Tig had told her yesterday about Jax and the club roughing up the President of the Calavaras, and how Tig seemed to believe the break-in could be club-related. But for some reason, Tara didn't think it was club-related and that the break-in could be personal. She just didn't understand why a president of another club would want to break into their home. The whole thing sounded ridiculous to her; it just didn't make any sense to her.
Hearing her cell phone ring, Tara picked it up and noticed it was Jax trying to call her again. Tara closed her eyes as she exhaled through her nose; she started wondering if she should answer his call this time. But as the image of him and Ima in bed together started to flash in her head. Tara hit the ignore button and let it go to voice mail instead.
Tara still isn't ready to talk to him and she's definitely not ready to forgive him either, and honestly, she's not sure if she'll ever be able to forgive him either. Tara loves Jax; that will never change. But he betrayed her in the worst way possible, and there's absolutely no coming back from that. She isn't sure why she's still staying at his house, but she needs to figure something out because even if Jax comes back with Abel, she needs to put some distance between them for a while. At least until she can figure out what to do.
Hearing a knock coming from her office door, Tara exhaled softly and sighed as she ran both hands down her face. "Come in," she yelled out as she sat up straight in her chair.
Margaret Murphy, the hospital admissions director and Tara's boss, walked in. "What's with the bodyguard outside your office?" she asked as she closed the door behind her.
Tara sighed deeply. "There was a break-in at my house last night. I had to sleep at the clubhouse."
" Jesus Christ, well are you okay? Are you in some kind of danger?" Margaret asked with concern as she down at the other side of Tara's desk.
Tara shook her head no."I'm fine," she said. "The guys are just looking out for me since Jax isn't back from Belfast yet."
" Have you even tried calling Jax and letting him know what's going on?"
Tara exhaled deeply as she shook her head once more."No, and I'm not going to. He's trying to get his son back, and that's what he needs to focus on. Besides, what's he gonna do? It was just a break-in, and I wasn't hurt or anything." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.
Tara, I know you don't want to hear this. But I'm very concerned about you. You're a very smart woman, Tara; I just don't understand why you want to be with a man who's just going to keep bringing danger into your life. I mean, your guy is part of a motorcycle gang, and they're dangerous.
" They're not a gang, they are a club and Jax will never do anything to hurt me and he always made sure I'm out of harms way. Jax loves me and I love him."Tara said the last part softly.
" I'm just afraid the kind of life Jax is living is gonna drag you down, and I just don't want to see you get hurt."
Well, I appreciate your concern, but you don't need to worry about me or me and Jax for that matter. We'll be fine."Tara really isn't sure if she and Jax will actually be fine once he gets back from Belfast. She just doesn't want to tell Murphy what's really going on between her and Jax. Because Murphy would just have more questions and Tara just doesn't want to answer them.
Maybe you could stay with me for a few days at least until the club finds the person who broke into your home and if they're concerned about your safety. Your bodyguard can stay too." Murphy offered.
" Thanks and I appreciate it. But I will be fine.Besides I should be back in my own bed hopefully by tomorrow night." Tara said turning down her offer.
Okay then, I will let you get back to work then," Margaret said as she got up from the chair she was sitting in and walked towards the door, but stopped for a moment to say something. "I really hope you know what you're doing because I would hate to see you get hurt because of Jax." She said as she opened the door and walked out of Tara's office, closing it behind her.
Jax and the club was sitting around at the table in the Sambel's clubhouse while the Belfast charter were all sitting around the bar. After the doors were closed. Clay looked over at Jax." So what did father Kellan had to say last night? Does he know where Abel is?"
" Yeah, he says Abel is safe somewhere outside of Belfast."
What the hell does that mean?" Opie asked, bringing his eyebrows together.
Jax sighed as he shook his head." Father Kellan said Jimmy wants to use Abel as leverage, and in order for me to get my son back, I have to be the one who kills him before he gets to Abel. And if I do that, the priest promised I'll get Abel back."
" Then let's go find Jimmy and kill him." Chibs said as he was very eager to kill the bastard. He's been wanting O'Phelan dead since he stole Chibs family away from him and got him kicked out of Belfast all those years ago.
" McGhee might know where we could find Jimmy." Clay said as he was the first one to get up from the table and walked out of the chapel as he walked towards Mcghee."Hey brother, got any idea where we could find O'Phelan?"
" Yeah, he's going to be at the warehouse tomorrow. Why? What's going on brother?"
" We just need to talk to him that's all." Jax answered.
" Then you fellas should come on the run with us tomorrow. "McGhee suggested as he took a drink of his beer.
" Yeah, it would be good for you California Lads to see what we do."O'Neill said with a nod as he also took a drink of his beer.
Clay looked over at Jax and the rest of the guys, already knowing what they were thinking. He then nodded his head and looked at McGhee and O'Neill. "Yeah, we'll be there."
After Tara finished her afternoon rounds and checked in on her last patient, she was done for the day. She hung her lab coat up and reached for her purse and jacket. As she walked out of her office, she noticed Miles flirting with one of the nurses just a few feet away from her. Tara sighed exasperatedly as she rolled her eyes.
Hey, I would hate to disturb whatever it is you're doing, but I am ready to go now," Tara said loudly enough for Miles to hear. As she watched the nurse writing her phone number on his hand, Tara rolled her eyes once again before turning around and starting to walk away.
Sorry about that," Miles said apologizing as he caught up with her as they headed towards the elevators.
" It's whatever but the next time you wanna flirt with someone do it on your own time, and don't flirt with any of the nurses here. I don't need everyone to know about my personal business or the club." Tara said as she stepped into the elevator.
Miles sighed as he nodded his head in agreement and stepped into the elevator without saying another word.
The moment Tara and Miles stepped outside of the parking lot, Tara felt something wasn't right. Like someone was watching them." Come on let's get back to the clubhouse." She said as she continued walking towards her car as she wanted to get out that parking lot as soon as possible.
Before Tara had a chance to open her car door, she gasped and screamed as she felt an unfamiliar hand and a cold, wet cloth covering her mouth and an arm wrapping around her waist. Tara tried to struggle and fight out of the grasp of whoever held her. But as the cloth was being pressed against her mouth, Tara started to feel her eyelids beginning to close. Tara tried to fight to keep her eyes open, but without the strength to do so, Tara's body went limp as she ended up unconscious.
Lifting Tara over his shoulder, Salazar carried her to his van. He quickly zipped tied her hands together and duct taped her feet together. Making sure Tara was still unconscious, Salazar quickly slammed the van door shut before getting inside.
" let's get the hell of here." He says to his old lady as she speeds out of the hospital parking lot.
Miles groaned in pain as he suddenly woke up. As he sat up, he placed his hand against the back of his head and rubbed it. Miles then quickly got up on his feet and ran towards Tara's car. However, when he reached for her car and saw her keys and other belongings scattered across the parking lot, he realized something was wrong. He hadn't seen Tara anywhere, so he knew he had messed up.
Miles quickly ran to his bike and sped toward the clubhouse, intent on letting Tig and the others know what had transpired.
