As Jax snaps his phone shut I can tell the call was not a good one, he looks directly at walks to the exit door
"Someone get that garage door closed quick." He bellows to the guys in the garage bay, working on my Honda.
"Make sure no one can see that car" He walks out the door says something quietly to one of his friends who quickly walks away, he turns and heads back towards me. I hear a motorcycle start and pull off.
My mind is spinning and racing with worst case scenarios and trying to figure out my next plan, when Jax returns to my side.
'Ok darlin' few things, Gemma saw him, I am to guess your old man is a huge guy as Gemma said he reeks of cop and was pissed as hell?"
I look up take a deep breath,
"yeah that's him and yes he is a cop, his dad is our local sheriff and well Steve is about as unbalanced as they come, some of our high school friends said he would never had become a cop if not for his Daddy. So what now, I am thinking that Seattle sounds good to me now."
"No, he drove past here, Gemma had followed him but she had to stop because he turned around right after he passed TM so she went home, she had some things to do."
Jax's eyes keep drifting off to a video screen, i now notice its the security feed for the compound. He looks back at me,
"don't worry he is just following the trackers, I got Tig to go see if he can figure out what his next move is, I would bet he will come here next, but all he will find out is that we towed a car, that was abandoned in town, and the garage knows nothing, Clay is in the garage today so I think that may deter him for a while, what I want to do is get you out of here, and get all your personal stuff out of the Honda"
Now I'm confused "why? "
'So if our story is we found it abandoned, and your stuff what wasn't in your room was gone, he might think you left." Jax pulls me into a tight hug, planting a kiss on the top of my head, "I told you I promise he will never hurt you again."
Opie pokes his head inside, "Vans ready, if you are"
Jax takes a step back, "ok so here's the plan for now, you are going to get in the van, Opie has it pulled up right at the door, he's going to drive you to my house, I will follow you, we have double, triple checked you have no more trackers on you so he can't find you there, we will figure out what to do from there."
I'm shaking still a little apprehensive but listen and grab my bag from where I had casually set it on the table. I step closer to Jax, he hugs me again.
"I got you, don't worry."
He opens the door for me and true to his word the van had its side door right next to the open door. Jax helps me step inside, it's a work van so there are no seats, I sit down on the floor as Jax's phone rings.
"Yeah" long pause while the person on the other end is speaking,
"well that's an interesting turn, we are headed to my house, call Unser and see what he knows, and let him know about the hotel he should go see that room and quick, and don't tell him where I am let him earn his money for once."
Again my face betrays me, Jax looks me in the eye,
"looks like your old man has decided to try to play it by the book, he is meeting with Charming PD, so we still have the upper hand, I will see you at my place in a few minutes ok," he leans in and kisses me very tenderly on the lips, sending shivers up my spine, I kiss him back, then he quickly slides the door closed and Opie looks back from the driver seat,
"you ready? Hang on ok"
I do just that and as we are pulling off I hear more motorcycles starting.
After a short uneventful ride we come to a stop, Opie turns back to me again,
"you ready, let me come open the door then follow me"
I nod in agreement.
He gets out and walks around the van, the door slides open and I'm looking at what looks like a Norman Rockwell picture perfect small town street, not at all what I was expecting. I get out and follow Opie up the driveway to a nice little house as Jax pulls into the driveway. He gets off the bike and unlocks his door. We enter his house, it is definitely a mans house, it is decorated in posters of motorcycles much like his room at the clubhouse but the furniture is mismatched but clean. He walks into the house letting me take it all in. He gives me the 2 second tour, ending in his kitchen, he looks at me
"coffee?" I say
"yes please" he starts getting water for the coffee when I see him looking a bit puzzled, I smile and say
"let me" pushing him aside and making coffee, once brewed we sit at the table enjoying our coffee in silence.
Jax is lighting something he picked out the ashtray, which I quickly realize is a joint he passes it to me, I wave him away, then he looks at me
"you need to relax a little, it will help" I hit it a few times and pass it back to him, it really did help.
There is a knock at the door he gets up, reaches into a cabinet and grabs a handgun and heads to the door.
He returns with Gemma,
"Katelyn , my mom brought you some clean clothes she hopes they will fit but feel free to get a shower and just relax, Unser called and said he has info for us"
I take the bag from Gemma and Jax leads me down the hallway to a bathroom,
"all yours darlin' if you need anything just yell"
I step inside the bathroom and close the door, I open the bag and look inside, smile to myself since nothing in the bag would I have ever bought for myself but it looked like it would all fit. I start the shower undress and let the hot water relax me. I wash my hair and body then just sit down in the tub letting the hot water run over me.
I startled awake sitting in the tub the water has gone cold. I turn it off and get out dry off, looking through the bag of clothes Gemma brought I choose a black tank top and decide to put my jeans back on. I towel dry my hair and pull it into a loose ponytail until I can get to my purse and find my hairbrush.
I gather my stuff and walk back out of the hallway I hear men talking coming from the kitchen, I stash my stuff in a bedroom before heading into the kitchen.
