It's been a very long night for Tara. She's been working all night at the hospital. The moment Tara opened her eyes and noticed she was still in her office, she sighs softly as she sat up from her couch and ran her hands down her face. Tara would normally go home after working all night, but ever since she found Tristen Oswald laying on the ground after being raped, at Fun town last night. Tara felt like she shouldn't be leaving the girls side.
She got up from the couch and walked over to her desk and picked up her cell and when she noticed it was seven am. She then pulled out her wallet and headed out of her office.
Just as Tara was about to get on the Elevator, she felt her cell vibrating against her hand. Looking down at the caller Id, Tara's body suddenly got intense and her blood ran cold. She quickly ignored Josh's call and quickly shut her phone off. The last thing Tara needs right now is to deal with Joshua Kohn again.
placing her cell back into her pocket Tara hit the elevator button and stepped back as she waited for the elevator's open.
Just as the elevator doors open Tara stepped in and as she hit the first floor she gasps softly as she noticed Jax and some of the guys walking towards Eliott Oswald.
" Shit." She said softly as she sighs softly as soon as the doors closed.

" Has Tristan say anything?" Jax asked as he glanced at Tristan and looks at Elliott.
" She keeps saying she doesn't remember and Charlotte still refuses to talk to the police "
" Jesus Christ.", Jax deeply sighs as he just shrugs his shoulders." We will keep looking, but we need more information on this guy."
Elliott nods his head." I will try to get her talking again."
Jax nods his head a little." Alright, we will be at the clubhouse all day." He said as he walked away from Elliott with Bobby and Chibs following behind him.
Walking towards the front desk Tara noticed Deputy Hale talking to one of the nurses that was standing behind the desk.
" Hey Deputy." Tara greeted him as she handed the files to the front desk clerk.
" Hey Tara, you okay?" He asked as he noticed something was weighing on her.
Tara nods her head as she waved her hand a little." Just tired. Are you here for the Oswald rape case?"
He sighs deeply as he answered her question." I' want to ask Tristen questions but Mrs Oswald won't let me go near her."
" She's gotta talk to someone. I can have someone distract Mrs. Oswald with paper work. Can I ask you something?"
" Is everything okay?"
" It's kinda silly but, I was wondering. If I had an straining order against someone in another state, would it be effective here?"
" Well, every state laws are different. How long ago did you get the straining order?"
" Almost two months now."
" I will look into it when I get back to the office. Do you think this person would actually come back?" Hale asked with concern.
Tara quickly shook her head as she brought her brows together." I don't think so." Even though Tara really doesn't want to think or believe that Josh would actually follow her to Charming, doesn't mean she won't put it past him though.
Tara was about to say something when she felt her hospital pager go off. She looks down for a moment as she read the message on her pager.
" Sorry but I gotta go." Tara said as she turned around and started to walk the other direction.
As Tara was walking towards the head administrator's office she stopped for a moment as she heard a familiar deep voice. The voice she hasn't heard over eleven years. The voice of the man she ever loved, still loves. The voice of the man who used to make her hot and turned on every time they were alone together.
Tara closed her eyes as she took a deep breath and slowly turned around as she slowly opened her eyes she saw Jackson Teller standing a few feet away from her." God, why does he have to look so damn attractive all the fucking time?" Her mind asked.
Tara shook the question out of her mind as she ignores the beating of her heart pounding against her chest.
" What are you doing here Jax?"
" Elliott told us about the rape." Jax answered as he slowly walked towards her. He so desperately wanted to take her in his arms and just kiss her hungrily and just devour her. But this wasn't the place or time for that.
Tara scoffed as she shook her head in disbelief. Tara knew that Elliott Oswald would do anything to find the man who raped his little girl, if it was Tara's daughter. She would do the same thing, but she couldn't believe he would actually go to Samcro.
" And let me, guess you're planning on finding this guy?" Tara asked as she crossed her arms over her chest." And what exactly are you planning on doing if you guys actually do find him?"
" I think you know the answer Tara." Jax responded as he placed both hands into his pockets and shrugs his shoulders." Oswald mention that it was you, who found her."
Tara nods her head a little." Yeah, I did and that's why I'm on this case. Jax, I know you and the club gotta do what you guys think is the best solution for everyone, and in this situation I agree with you. But for once, would you please just let the law enforcement do their job."
Jax nods his head as he stepped closer to her." I will talk to Clay and try to convince him to do the right thing. Is there a way we can meet up somewhere later tonight and just talk?" Ever since Jax found out that Tara was back in Charming. He's been wanting to talk to her and hopefully he will get that chance.
Tara just shrugs her shoulders as she shook her head." I don't know, it might be another late one for me." Which isn't all entirely true since Tara gets off some time this afternoon. She's just not sure if she's still ready to actually talk to him, especially after all these years.
" Doesn't matter. Just come by the club house later tonight as soon as your done with work." Jax responded with a nod as he gave her a small smile and turned around and headed towards the elevators.
Tara closed her eyes as she deeply sighs. She was hoping that wouldn't have to see Jax tonight or even talk to him, since she already knows exactly what he wants to talk about and if Tara is being honest with herself, she wants talk to him about what happened eleven years ago. She's just not sure if she wants to open up that can of worms again.
Walking through the front door after her shift in the afternoon, Tara tossed her bag and car keys on to her coffee table as she sighs deeply as she ran her fingers through her hair. She knew she was gonna run into Jax sooner or later, she just wish it wasn't today. Walking towards her home phone, Tara hit the answering machine as she made her way towards the kitchen.
" You have three new messages. First new message: " Hey Tara, it's Patricia Nyland. I was calling to see if you wanted to me up some time next week so we can close the sale on your dad's house. Give me a call as soon as you can."
" Second new message: " Tara, it's Donna. You haven't called me back since last night. I tried your cell but it went through voicemail. Anyway give me a call later."
Third new message: " You're a hard woman to get a hold of. I kept trying your cell, but seems like you're avoiding my calls. I gotta tell you Tara, that hurts. But don't worry sweetie, I forgive you. Just wanna call you to say I miss you and I love you. Just come home."
As soon as Tara listened to the last message she just rolled her eyes as she pulled out a beer from the fridge. She walked back towards the answering machine and deleted all three messages as she took a drink of her beer as she walked down the hall towards her bedroom. Tara has other things on her plate right now, she really doesn't have time for Josh's games or bullshit.
A few hours later after a nap and a quick shower, Tara grabbed her car keys and headed out of the front door as she decided to see Donna. She's still debating on if she actually wants to see Jax later tonight or not. Her mind keeps telling her that it's still too soon, but her heart also keeps telling her that if she doesn't go see Jax and talk to him, she might regret it and what was the whole point of coming back to Charming in the first place.
Getting off of his Dyna after coming back from talking to Unser at Floyd's.Jax set his helmet on his handle bar as he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his Jean pocket. After he placed one between his mouth and lights it up. Jax placed two fingers around the cigerate and slowly pulls it out as he exhaled the smoke coming out of his mouth. Walking towards the club house, Jax noticed Gemma sitting at one of the picnic tables having a smoke herself.
" Hey ma." Jax said as he leans down and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before he sat down across from her." Is Clay around?" Jax asked as he was looking for him. He was hoping to have a chance to talk to him before Tara comes over later tonight.
" He and Bobby are up in Stockton visiting Otto. Did you talk to Unser?" Gemma asked as she knew that's who Jax went to go see. The club has been trying to find Tristan's rapist but without anymore information or leads. The club hasn't been able to find the sick bastard.
Jax shook his head as he took another smoke from his cigerate." Unser is saying without Tristan's help. They got nothing to go and since she doesn't remember much of what happened to her last night. They got no leads."
" Maybe I can talk to Tristan and see if she can open up to me. Don't worry you will catch this guy. Did you check on Wendy yet?" It's been nearly two months since Jax and Wendy hasn't really spoken to each other and now with Wendy about eight months pregnant, right now isn't the right time for her to be by herself.
" Mom, do me a favor and stay out of it." Jax answered as he stood up from the picnic table and walked into the club house heading towards the bar. He walked behind it as he opened the mini fridge and pulled out a cold beer.
" Jackson, Wendy is your wife and she's pregnant with your son. She's you now more than ever. You can't keep ignoring her or your son." Gemma tried to reason with him as she followed him inside." You're about to become a father and you need to be there for your family. Baby, I know things between you and Wendy are kinda rocky right now, but I'm sure you guys can work it out. If you would just talk to her."
Jax shook his head as he took a drink of his beer." There's nothing to work out and there's definitely nothing to talk about. Wendy and I are getting a divorce. She just needs to sign the divorce papers."
After Jax finished his beer and tossed the empty bottle in the bucket." I'm going to take a shower." He said as he turned around and walked down the hall towards his dorm room.
Watching Jax walking away, Gemma sighs heavily as she couldn't understand why Jax is being so stubborn about this. She now knows she's gotta work even harder to keep them together for Abel's sake.
Feeling the warm water running down his back as he rest his head against the shower wall. Seeing Tara and talking to her after all these years was over whelming. He so badly wanted to reach out and touch her. But he had to keep his urge under control. He just hopes he can still keep it under control when she comes over tonight.
