Chapter 414 Practical Joke
"
Tig hated that Scarlett was helping find Louise. This should be her special time with Jax. That bitch was putting her nose where it didn't belong!
Jax had looked so cute and sexy with the TV reporter. She couldn't believe the way that reporter was acting with Jax. She was throwing herself at him, but Jax was so cool the way he handled her by not handling her. That's the way Jax would be when they were together. Once Jax saw her for her true self, he would never look at another woman again.
When he kissed her like a lover, she would change into the beautiful woman she was inside. Just like when the princess kissed the frog to reveal the prince, she reminded herself, only the prince would kiss her and she would change into a princess.
It never occurred to Tig this was magical thinking and unlikely to happen. It was one of the problems with the mentally ill; they didn't recognize they weren't thinking logically.
She had spent the night watching Jax's interview with the reporter online over and over again. Towards dawn, she began frantically printing out pics of Jax taken from the interview before driving to the clubhouse, unlocking the doors and putting up all the pics of Jax except for a few she had left at home so she could look at later. This was a brilliant idea.
Here it was wall to wall pictures of Jax from the interview taped on the walls and on the bar. She used her Photoshop skills to crop Clay out of the pictures so there was only Jax in the pics and sometimes an arm or hand of Clay or the reporter depending on the pic she used. It was a beautiful sight.
She returned home and grabbed a few hours sleep before returning to the clubhouse and the pointless search for Louise. She didn't mind though. She was spending more time with Jax and she loved that all the people were searching for Louise. It was kind of like getting praise for a job well done.
Tig waited in TM's office chatting with Chuckie until Jax rode up. She wanted to see Jax's reaction to the pictures she'd put up. She hurried into the clubhouse while Jax was parking his bike.
Jax walked in wearing his closer fitting faded blue jeans today, a white SAMCRO T-shirt that made his white teeth seem even whiter. So sexy. She'd always been a big fan of Princess Diana and she remembered the shocking phone call leaked to the tabloids where Prince Charles moaned to Camilla that he wanted to be her tampon. She didn't get it until that moment. She wanted to be Jax's jeans! She imagined fitting snugly on his body. Yummy!
"What the fuck!" Jax exclaimed looking at the sea of pictures of him taped all over the clubhouse. "Who the hell did this?"
Tig pointed at Juice.
"This guy did it," he said.
"No way," Juice denied quickly. "It was like this when I got here."
"It was like this when I got here too," Bobby said walking into the room from the kitchen an taking a sip of his morning coffee.
Chibs walked in at the moment.
"Jackie boy, what's with all the pictures? Think we might forget what you look like?" Chibs said in his Scottish brogue.
"Holy shit!" Opie said walking into the clubhouse. "Looks like you're the one missing," Opie said to Jax.
Tig was delighted by all the attention and teasing Jax was getting. Despite his denials, Tig was sure that everyone would believe that Juice was behind the pics being put up. He was the one in charge of communications and he would have the knowledge to print out the pictures. No one in the MC knew how much he knew about computers. Secrets were useful.
Kozik came in next, looked at the pictures and gave a long low whistle.
"Son of a bitch! Jax's missing now?" he pretended to look around. "Oh, there he is."
"Very funny," Jax said good naturedly. "Which one of you jokers did this?"
They all denied it.
Clay came in followed by Happy. He looked at all the pictures of Jax and scowled. Tig knew that Clay was jealous of Jax because he was smarter and better looking than Clay. He'd wanted to rub Clay's nose in it a bit because he was always talking up how wonderful Happy was. Tig feared that Clay was going to take his Sergeant at Arms patch away and give it to Happy. She didn't trust Happy. He was always kissing Clay's ass and he would just love to take the SA patch away from her.
"Take all these damn pictures down," Clay grumbled, "and let's get this search going again."
"Prospect," Tig shouted. Sack came trotting into the room from the kitchen where he'd been eating a quick donut. "Get all these pictures down."
Tig grinned. That had been a lot of fun. Not as much fun as killing Louise of course, but still a lot of fun.
