Chapter 344 Emergency Meeting
"
Once Gemma got a couple of minutes alone with Chucky at the hospital, he told her the true story of how he was attacked and beaten when he refused to answer questions about the MC. Gemma walked outside the hospital and made a quick call to Clay to fill him in.
This was Jax's first day back at TM since getting shot and the guys were standing around drinking coffee and welcoming him back to work when Clay called an emergency meeting.
Everyone took their seats at the table Tig on Clay's right, Jax on his left, Bobby, Juice, Chibs, Opie, Piney and Happy in their usual places. Clay allowed Sack in the meeting, but in keeping with his prospect status, he wasn't permitted to sit at the table. He sat with his chair against the wall. Clay banged the gavel bringing the meeting to order.
"Gemma's at the hospital with Chucky. He got jumped on his way back from his morning walk. The person put a bag over his head and used one of those voice changers. That's what he thinks anyway. Despite the voice changer, Chucky thinks it was a man who attacked him. He wanted to know about TM and the MC. Wanted to know about the gun running business and where the gun warehouse is. Chucky told him he didn't know."
"Kind of a desperate tactic," Jax said.
"Chucky doesn't know anything," Tig said.
"The guy beating Chucky also asked about you," Clay said to Jax.
"You think it could be Esai Alvarez looking to finish his attempt to kill me?"
"I don't know," Clay said.
"It was a pretty stupid attempt," Tig said.
"The attack at the pub was stupid," Chibs said.
"If they had been better shots or had better guns, they might have succeeded," Jax said.
"It could be Alvarez. Be just like him to break the agreement," Piney said.
"I might believe that, but the all chapters president Nero was serious about not wanting war with the Sons. I don't think this is Mayan," Clay said.
"Tara's ex is in town. He's ATF, but he isn't here on a case. Maybe he has some fantasy about bringing us down and getting her back," Jax said.
"You think he's a rogue ATF agent?" Opie asked.
"It's possible. If it's him, he can't stay in town forever," Jax said. "We just need to be cautious and follow warehouse procedures. Keep things tight."
"It could be Esai Alvarez's idiot son. He's running out of money, wants to get the guns and wants to kill Jax as revenge," Opie said. "Maybe he thinks that could get him back in good with his father."
"Why don't you update Jax on your hunt for Esai?" Clay suggested to Happy.
Happy didn't look enthusiastic about answering the question, but Happy didn't have many facial expressions, so it was possible he was excited about answering the question.
"Me and the prospect were following up on a tip from a hotel clerk I know. He had been staying there."
"What else?" Clay prompted. "The part about the room."
Happy's jaw clenched and this time there was no mistaking the lack of enthusiasm.
"I bribed the clerk to get me a duplicate key."
"How much did it cost you?" Clay prompted.
Happy shook his head and stared at the table.
"It didn't cost money. Didn't have any condoms. She wouldn't give me the card without sex," Happy shook his head sadly. "I had to go down south."
The table of men burst into laughter and banged on the table with their fists. Sack bit his lip desperately trying to hold back laugher. As a prospect laughing at Happy could get him a beat down or get him tossed completely from the MC.
"I can't get the taste out of my mouth," Happy said. "I think she had a yeast infection."
Once again the table exploding with laughter and the men banged on the table. It was too much for Sack. He covered his mouth with his right hand and laughed quietly hoping his hand would muffle the sound.
