Jason and Lolly enjoyed the night together, it almost helped them forget everything that was going on, just focusing on each other, in that moment, and the pleasure they were bringing to each other. Jason hadn't asked Lolly about it, but for some reason the sex between them now seemed that much more intense than it had in recent memory.
However the sex didn't ever erase the issues, just distracted them from them. The next morning Lolly seemed a bit more distant when they had woken up. She gave him a kiss at breakfast but seemed more pre-occupied with baby Jack and getting the coffee started for when Beau woke up than for any affection for Jason. "I had a lot of fun last night" he whispered as he sat down, Lolly grinned but didn't seem to go any further in acknowledging the night before. As he ate breakfast Mireya talked his ear off while Nicky woke up coming to breakfast, upon seeing him Elly jumped up and grabbed his hand "I made you breakfast" she said, pulling him over to the chair. Nicky grinned, "wow...this looks better than anything I'd have made for myself" Nicky said with a laugh looking at the scrambled eggs and bacon with orange juice in front of him. "They weren't supposed to be scrambled...but I kinda made a mistake" Elly said as Nicky chuckled, "well I like scrambled better anyway" he said kissing her forehead, "Yeah reminds you of your brain" Jason quickly cut in as Nicky just shook his head.
The two of them finished eating then got ready to head out, kissing both the girls goodbye. Jason kissed Lolly goodbye saying "we got some stuff to do in town, but I'll be home by supper" he said, Lolly kissed him back but seemed more obligatory than anything else. They rode to the clubhouse, Nicky could tell something was up between Jason and Lolly but figured he didn't want to get into that right now, he also wasnt' sure if he wanted to know to begin with, but he figured it must have had something to do with what they'd talked about last night at the bar.

Remmy woke up and came down to the kitchen, Maddy was already up. "No breakfast this morning?" Remmy said, "was I that bad last night?" he said with a grin, kissing her. Maddy smiled and made some comment about him being a grown up boy now, she then told him his cell had received two text messages, both were from Lamar. Remmy looked at her annoyed, "honest how many times do I gotta tell you not to look at shit on my phone" Remmy said grabbing his cell phone. She asked if he was trying to hide something from her, "of course not baby, but the shit on here is like club business shit, and I don't need my wife seeing it, especially seeing how loud your mouth seems to be these days" Remmy said as he poured himself some cereal. Maddy snapped back saying she was the VP's wife and wasn't some two bit skank like the Mama's, or some bimbo wife. "You're my Ol' Lady Maddy, but you're not a club member...there's a difference" Remmy said sitting down at the table, reading his text messages. Maddy made a comment asking why she was just an Ol' Lady, but Lolly is treated like the Queen of the MC. "God are you still on her? Fuck what is your obsession with her? Honestly, you need to cut that shit out...it was bad enough that you were doing it before, but now that Nicky's out...I'm surprised Roach hasn't given him my VP patch already, but you screwing around with his Ol' Lady aint going to help my chances of keeping this patch" Remmy said getting angry. Maddy said he shouldn't have to kiss somebody's ass as the VP. "I ain't kissing anybody's ass, if Roach wanted to replace me I wouldn't be begging him for another chance or shit, but at the same time I don't need my wife stirring shit up" Remmy finished his cereal then got up ready to leave, "Love you baby" he said kissing Maddy, "just don't do anything that'd piss me off today huh?" he said as he headed out the door.

When Jason and Nicky rode up to the clubhouse, Remmy was already there. "Hey Roach, Lamar said he's ready for the first two shipments, plus he's got the extra 5 keys for us" he said. Jason nodded, "alright...which runs?" he asked. "San Antonio and Houston" Remmy said checking his phone. "Okay, I want you to take Samson, Sal and Roddy, you make the Houston run, bring Ronnie and Vic to drive the van. I'll get Gunner to take Pokey, Reed, and Russian Phil on the San Antonio run, and Hector can drive the cargo truck for them" Jason said. "Also, you pick up the extra 5 keys and bring it back on your way back from Houston" Jason said to Remmy. "What about me, am I just washing the floors?" Nicky piped up with a grin, "Nah, you're coming with me, we're going to spend some time catching up on things with Fast Eddie" Jason said. "Hey...uh...no offense, but shouldn't I be at that meeting, being the VP and all?" Remmy asked. "Nah, you know these runs better than me or Nicky, and that extra 5 keys of coke is a big deal, I don't wanna give that to anyone else. Not to mention, Nicky's out on a technicality, he gets busted muelling coke, he's probably back inside" Jason said as Remmy nodded, Jason grinning slapping his shoulder "don't worry, this ain't about me putting you on the bench" he said as Remmy nodded.
Remmy texted Samson, Sal and Roddy to let them know they were heading out. He then found the prospects and told them to get the van ready to go. Remmy trusted Roach, and there was no indication that Roach didn't want Remmy around, but a big sit-down meeting with a major weapons supplier...and he was taking Nicky instead of him, it just added to his paranoia, but he just tried ignoring it for now.

Jenni was walking out of the XXX-Ray Vision studio, she'd just finished doing a series of shoots and was looking forward to getting something to eat then going home to relax. When she got to her SUV she noticed two of her tires were slashed "son of a bitch...really?" she said kicking the tire of her SUV in frustration. She was about to pull out her cell to call a tow truck when Maddy drove up...seemingly out of nowhere. She said she could tell Jenni was having car trouble and offered her a ride to the clubhouse, saying some of the guys could probably help her out. "Thanks so much" Jenni said relieved as she got into the car and Maddy started driving. "What were you even doing out here?" Jenni asked, Maddy just said she was taking care of some business. Then Maddy turned to her and flat out told her she wanted Jenni to seduce Roach. "Ummm...what? Are you drunk or something?" Jenni asked. Maddy pulled the car over and glared at her. She said something about not having answer to a whore like Jenni, and that if Jenni was smart she'd play along. "You're freaking me out" Jenni said trying to get out of the car, but Maddy had locked the doors. Maddy told her she was going to seduce Roach and make sure he went all the way with her. "No...he's got a wife, and kids, and I'm not going to be some home-wrecker, especially cause some crazy bitch asked me too!" Jenni snapped back. Jenni then screamed as Maddy grabbed her by the hair and suddenly felt a knife at her neck, Maddy whispered several threats to Jenni, about how nobody would miss her etc., then she said if Jenni refused that Maddy would set her up, and frame her, making her look like she was ratting on the club to the cops. Jenni was terrified, the club had been like a family for her, her safety in a lot of ways...but if they found out a Mama was talking to the cops, she trembled knowing what that meant. "Please...why....I never did anything to you" Jenni whimpered, Maddy told her to shut up, then asked her if she was going to play along. Jenni was cornered, she had nowhere else to turn, nobody would ever take her word over the word of the VP's wife. "Okay....okay fine I'll do it" Jenni whimpered. Then Maddy kicked her out of the car and left her on the side of the road.

Jason found Gunner at the clubhouse a short time later. "Hey brother, I need you to take Pokey, Reed, and Russian Phil down to Dallas, pick up the shipment from Lamar, then run it out to San Antonio. Hector should be free, he can drive the cargo truck for you guys" Jason said. Gunner nodded, "Anything in particular we should know?" he asked. "Should be just a regular run, haven't heard anything about any heat from cops or feds, but like always just keep your eyes and ears open, and make sure everyone is running the speed limit, a speeding ticket as all they'll need to search our truck" Jason said as Gunner nodded. "No problem boss, we'll head out right away, but uh, heard you had a meeting going on...sure you don't want me there instead?" Gunner asked. Jason grinned, he really took his job seriously, "Nah, Fast Eddie is cool, we were a big client of his, he's not the type to pull something anyway" he said. "Yeah...but still...I'd rather be there having your back then be out on a road babysitting some coke. Not trying to second guess the Pres here...but Fat Bobby knows those runs, and I'd trust him with my life to get the job done right. I'm your right hand boss...and if you're going out of town, I'm there too" Gunner said. Jason grinned, Gunner really was the perfect fit for being the Srgt. at Arms, "Alright man you twisted my arm...fine...get Fat Bobby to head that run, but that run is on you if something goes south" Jason said. "No problem boss...Fat Bobby may not be pretty to look at, but he's been around, he knows the game...I'm willing to vouch 100% for him" Gunner said. "Alright...we head out to meet Eddie in a couple hours" Jason said.
