AN: Continue from the last Chapter...

Amber looks at Tara as she brought her eyebrows together as she was trying to understand what she thought she heard." Let me get this straight... you're telling me, that my brother is dead?" She asked as she was still confused about what's going on.

Tara sighs deeply as she nods her head." Yeah."

" When?"

" What?"

" When was my brother killed?" Amber asked repeating the question.

" Amber..."

"Just answer the question, Tara." Amber said as she clenched her fists together to keep herself in control and calm while waiting for Tara to answer her question.

" A few months ago." Tara finally answered as she exhales deeply.

"A few months ago, my brother has been dead for a few months now, and you're just now telling me? Jesus Christ." Amber scoffs because she can't believe this is happening right now. She had been trying to reach out to Jordan for months now, and now she knew why she hadn't been able to.

" I wanted to tell you... but I couldn't. I wasn't sure how to tell you."

Amber scoffs as she shakes her head and stands up, the chair scraping the kitchen floor." "Bullshit, Tara! You knew how to tell me. You just didn't want to. So, did you have Jax kill Jordan? Was that why you're marrying Jax again?"

"What? Why would you think Jax had anything to do with what happened to Jordan?"

"It's obvious, isn't it? I mean, here you are in the house you once shared with your ex-husband, wearing his engagement ring as you prepare to marry the man again. So tell me something, Tara: Did you accept Jax's proposal before or after he murdered my brother?"

Tara glares at Amber as she exhales heavily."You don't know what you're talking about. Jax had nothing to do with Jordan's death; nobody does, and for your information, I accepted Jax's proposal because I realized that Jax is the love of my life and I want my whole family back together. That's why I accepted it."

Amber sighed deeply as she sat down again." Do you know who murdered my brother?" She asked softly.

Tara shook her head. "Sorry, Amber. I don't know who did it. All I know is that I got a call from someone in Oregon telling me that Jordan was dead."

"Jesus Christ." Amber sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose to keep herself calm. She then dropped her hand on the table."This makes no sense; why would someone kill Jordan?"

Tara shrugs her shoulders a little." I don't know, I wish I had more information to give you. But I don't."

" What about the police? Don't they have any leads?"

Tara once again shrugged her shoulders as she took a sip of her coffee." Um... they couldn't really find anything, so they closed the case."

Amber snorted a little." Of course they did." She said as she shook her head." Does... does Melinda know about what happened?"

" No, she still thinks her daddy is in Florida."

Amber sighed deeply as she scratched her forehead for a moment." I, um... I'm going to go out and get some air. Might drive around for a bit." She said as she got up from the kitchen table and walked out of the kitchen and grabbed her jacket and purse off the hook.

"Are you coming back?" Tara asked as she got up and followed Amber to the front door.

Opening the door, Amber shrugged her shoulders." I don't know. I just need to be alone for a bit. I will call you." She said as she stepped out of the house and closed the door behind her.

Tara exhaled heavily as she took a moment to herself. Tara hated having to lie to Amber about Jordan, because Tara knew Amber deserved the truth. But for now, all Tara could do was give Amber part of the truth and hope she wouldn't press the issue.


Later that night, Tara was sitting on the couch, reading, trying not to think about their earlier conversation or to worry about Amber so much. However, Tara couldn't help but worry, mainly because she hadn't heard from Amber in hours and every time Tara tried to call her, it went straight to voicemail.

The moment Tara's cell phone went off, she quickly answered. "Amber?"

" Hey Tara, it's Bobby."

Tara sighed softly as she rubbed her forehead. "Hey, Bobby. What's up?"

"There's a female sitting at the bar who keeps saying her brother has been murdered and she sounds very drunk right now." Bobby said with concern as he kept watching the female from afar.

Tara exhaled deeply as she pinched the bridge of her nose."Shit...that's Amber, my sister-in-law. Keep an eye on her. Bobby and I will be right there." Tara said as she got up from the couch and grabbed her jacket from the hook.

"Hey, Thomas." Tara called out as she reached for her car keys.

" Hey mom, what's up?" Thomas asked as soon he walked out into the living room.

" I gotta go pick up your aunt Amber and I need you to stay with Melinda."

"Where is Aunt Amber?" Thomas asked with concern.

"At the clubhouse," Tara answered with a sigh."

" Seriously? What the hell is she doing there?"

"It's a long story," Tara said, not wanting to go into too much detail.

" Well is she gonna be alright though?"

Tara shrugged her shoulders as she opened the front door." I honestly have no clue. I will be back in an hour, keep an eye on your sister." Tara said as she walked out of the house, closing the door behind her. Tara knew Amber would be upset about finding out about what happened to Jordan. Tara just didn't realize that Amber would be this upset though.
