Madison "Maddy" Hart.'s Story

A couple days later Lolly and Jason had everything sorted out ready for their trip down to Texas. They said goodbye to the kids and then were on their way on the road. Now with the kids Jason and Lolly didn't get a lot of time to do these kind of rides like they used to, where they'd just hop on the bike and ride somewhere...usually end up having sex on a beach or something...then riding back home. The ride down was actually a lot of fun, they got to be just the two of them, no kids, not schedule, riding as long as they could ride before taking a break.

He could feel Lolly's grip on his waist tighten a bit as they rode into Outlaw Creek, she knew they were back now and there wasn't really any turning around now. A few minutes later Jason pulled into the parking lot of the clubhouse. Jason and Lolly got off the bike, one of the Prospects walked up to them. "Hey listen...this is private property, you're going to have to leave" the guy said giving Jason a hard glare. Jason looked at Lolly "Okay...this is a new experience for me" he said with a grin. Jason turned back to the prospect, "Buddy...I built this thing, go ask somebody who's been around for longer than three years..." the Prospect, doing his job, stepped up into his face "Listen asshole, move it now unless you want trouble" he said in an intimdating tone. Of course Jason was playing with the guy. "Okay...okay...alright..." Jason said walking back to his bike, "Just tell em Roach came by and wanted to say hi" he said. The Prospect practically gasped, "holy shit...fuck....ohhhh man...no sorry...I...ohhh fuck....I didn't know Mr.Walker..." Jason just grinned as he patted the guy on the back "you were doing your job, I'll put in a good word for you. Just quit staring at my wife's ass" Jason said, as the guy turned bright red, that even got a smirk out of Lolly.

They walked in, the place looked the same as when they had left it. A lot of the members were still around as Jason walked in, the Prospect hadn't had a chance to announce that Jason was there yet. "So I'm gone three years and suddenly nobody gives a fuck anymore?" Jason said. At the sound of his voice the members inside all cheered as they rushed up to give him a hug and welcome him back. Jason heard a shriek as Joey came running from the back and practically tackled Lolly to the ground. Merc walked out and gave Jason a big hug, "Welcome back brother" Merc said giving him a hug.

Joey practically yanked Lolly behind her to the lounge area to talk and catch up. Merc showed Jason around, introducing him to the new members since he was gone. "This is Remmy, our VP" Merc said, as he shook Jason's hand and gave him a hug "Good to meet you man, you're a fucking legend" he said as Jason grinned. Jason had to admit, he did enjoy the feeling of being back in the clubhouse again. Of course the people were never the issue, it was the lifestyle that followed.

That night the clubhouse had a big party to welcome Jason and Lolly. Really the club would take almost any excuse to party, which really meant to drink and get drunk. But seeing Jason back, for the members that knew him, it was good to see. Joey stuck by Lolly most of the night, showing her around, introducing her to some of the other Ol' Ladies, specifically Maddie, she was the wife to the new VP of the club Remmy, and she definitely had an attitude about her. As the part went on, Samson, a long time member of the club and the guy Jason had been talking with the last few months made their way over to a side room.

"So...is what you said true...you're coming back?" Samson asked with a bit of excitement. "Yeah...providing I get back in" Jason said with a grin as Samson laughed, "but uh...how do we do this?" Samson asked. "Nobody can know about this until the vote, I need to be back in as a member first. After the club votes me back in, there's the open session at the end. That's when you bring up the member's challenge...cite your reasons...then nominate me to take over as the new President" Jason said explaining things. "No problem...Bobby Chains will second the nomination...and honestly brother...I don't think anyone will vote you down, not even Remmy" Samson said as Jason nodded. "So what's the issues anyway" Jason asked. "Well we got into drugs big time when you left. Some of the suppliers weren't comfortable with Merc when Nicky went inside and our gun sources dried up. The Dallas street gang, the Triple Kings made us an offer, it started out running protection for their drug runs. Then they got us into muelling their stuff all over Texas, they made a really bad deal with Merc too, we're taking all the risk on those runs yet we're only taking 10% of the cut. We started doing hits inside Dallas too for the Triple Kings, Lamar, the Triple Kings leader, he's got Merc as his errand boy. We're pretty much just hired muscle now for the Triple Kings, they tell us what to do and Merc jumps." Samson explained, frustrated. "Why does Merc keep playing to him? What's he got to have Merc coming back?" Jason asked. "He keeps Merc happy, getting him tickets to sporting games, kicking him and Joey personal gifts, pretty much they're using our club but they've sucked Merc in, he buys everything they tell him." Samson says getting upset. "What about Remmy? He's the VP, doesn't he say anything about this?" Jason asked. "He does...but Merc brought him in and Remmy doesn't want to lose his VP seat. He tries talking to Merc a bit, but Merc's changed a bit man, he doesn't listen to the new guys anymore. He figures cause he ran with you and your dad and Nicky, he ran with the legends man...so that means he knows better than all of us" Samson said, "Look...I love Merc, I do...and I hate to be doing this...but I love this club and he's turning us from what we used to be...to being a bunch of hired thugs" Samson said. Jason nodded "don't worry...everything will work out brother" Jason said as they returned to the party.

It felt werid. All of it was a bit overwhelming as Lolly and Jason entered the clubhouse. She was so lost in all of it, she was never trampled by the tall thin blur that was Joey. "Oomph!" Lolly grunted as Joey hugged her tight. "Damn girl it wasn't that long." She groaned and Joey just laughed. "I know, I know but when Merc told me you were coming back...I couldn't believe it." She said all giddy. Lolly smiled. It was good to see Joey again. She missed her alot. Joey was the little sister she always wanted. She dragged Lolly off toward the lounge and they talked on about the kids. They're boys and anything else they could think of.

A little while later, There was a party in their honor. But honestly, it was just another excuse for one as it always had been.

It took a few drinks to loosen Lolly up but pretty soon she was able to meet and greet with all the other Ol' Ladies. Joey was glad to introduce Lolly to Maddy. A dark haired-grey eyed woman. She was pretty but she seemed not to like Lolly immediately. Lolly kept it cordial. "Hey, I'm Lola, Call me Lolly." she said and Maddy looked at her strangely before taking her hand. "So you're the one Joey's been going on about."
"The one and only." Lolly said as Joey was whisked off by her nice and drunk boyfriend. "You're Jason Walker's Girl right?" She asked her, the tone wasn't one Lolly liked but again she kept it calm. "Yea. I'm his wife." She said, subtly emphasizing on 'Wife'. Lolly read the girl.It seemed she liked her postion here. She was second only to Joey and Joey, as tough as she can be, she was still a kid and still impressionable and therefore controllable, Lolly was nothing of the sort. "So you know how this works then right?"
"Explain it to me." Lolly said, challengingly. "Seeing as Things seemed to change around this joint, since MY dad and his ran the place and him after that." She said. Maddy frowned a bit. "Yes, I'm the daughter of the 9f the First Five, Big Daddy Duncan" Lolly said and Maddy pursed her lips some. "Well," She said, a bit intimidated by Lolly now as she wasn't sure why. "Then Welcome back." She said and surprising her self, Lolly responded with. "It's good to be back." She said and Maddy walked off. It was then Jason walked over, he took one look at his wife's face and asked her why she looked like she was gonna cut somebody.
Lolly sighed. "Not even a day and I need a drink." She said before her eyes flicked over to Maddy as Maddy looked over at her. Jason wasn't slow, that was not gonna end well.

Lolly woke up as Jason laughed. He skillfully kept her busy so she didn't drink much, lest Maddy's head already be one a pike.

"How old are we...I completely remember everything that happened last night....and our room isn't a disaster." He said. Lolly smirked. "You were a bit busy..." She said cheekily. "Hey...play nice with all the kids at school today, got it?" He said and she rolled her eyes. "I make no promises." She said, somewhat childishly.

"The vote is going to happen today...sounds like Merc just got in way over his head...so doubt the vote's gonna be on the fence." He said as he got ready and Lolly frowned "Does he even know?" She asked. "Not likely, I feel for the guy cause I think he was trying his best, but Samson's right, the clubs gonna start dying soon if things don't get changed around.He said and Lolly sighed. She cared about Merc, he was just as much as a brother to her as Nicky and Jason was growing up. Honestly more so, he was older and she never slept him.

Changing the somber subject. Lolly looked up. "Joey's taking me shopping today." She said.,Jason grinned. "Is Maddie coming?" "Fuck you." She replied, gesturing the sentiment. "Hey, It's good news for me?"[/b] Lolly cocked her head. "What?"
"The last chick you didn't like was Jetta when she came back...and we all ended up in bed together." He said and Lolly opened her mouth to speak but she had nothing for that. She knew she'd rue that day...Jason made sure of that.
Got you this there, Baby." He said, revelling in his win. She ducked under the covers, defeated.

After a long afternoon, of shopping, Joey was in President's room waiting on Merc. She and Lolly bought some things for their guys and Joey couldn't wait to show Merc, however when he came in he looked bleak. "Merc? Is everything alright?" She asked. "Well we vote Jason in...and apparently guys had me setup, cause as soon as we voted him in...they put out a challenge to have me step down and Jason to take over. The vote goes tomorrow." He said and Joey never seen Merc this upset. She knew he was struggling with be President and was too proud to admit it but even still for Jason to blindside him with this. "How could he do that to you...that's not like him..." she said. "Whatever Joey...it's JASON...how the fuck can anyone say he shouldn't be President...his dad BUILT this club...he's the crowned prince." He said and lay down, Joey slid in beside him. "He needs a unanimous vote, that includes you." she told him softly. "Just leave it alone...it's Jason's chair...he deserves it."
He said and Joey sighed. This was killing him. "I'll talk to Maddy and then Lolly, see what they have to say about it." She said and disappeared out the door.

She found Maddy quickly, she was behind the bar as usual. "Hey Maddy." She said, unable to hide her expression. "You heard what happened to huh?" She asked, Maddy had a country twang in her voice. Always has. "Yeah..." Joey said. "That's fucked up. How can some guy who just up and left,come back and start taking shit over.?" Maddy said and Joey sighed. "Jason's dad built this club."
"So, It's not his dad, that came back, he did." She said and Joey sighed. "It wasn't the first time he left and came back..." Joey muttered, resting her arm on the bar, and Maddy frowned."What."
"Yea, He left before, when Lolly left him...He came back though." She said honestly, Joey was just venting, like she did with Lolly, not really thinking abour what she was saying snd who she was saying it too. Maddie knew that about her. She was good for all sorts of information. 'So it's Lolly who runs this show...' She thougnt. "I bet you Tell me more about Lolly." Maddie said, Joey went on telling her everything. Lolly didn't tell Joey everything but she knew enough. "So Lolly before she got with Jason, she was just a Mama?" "Yea I guess..." Joey sighed, she was more concerned for Merc and had him on her mind, she missed the deeper meaning in Maddie's questions. "Just a stripper..." She murmured. "Look, Lolly must have put him up to this, My guess is, Jason wanted back in but Lolly didn't want to go back to being just a regular Ol' Lady so she must have convinced Jason to push Merc, out." She said and Joey, for whatever reason believed that. Why else would he come back so strong and she seemed fine with it even though she knew Lolly hated it here. "I'll talk to her."She said and Maddie just shrugged. "You do that." She said and Joey went t find Lolly. Maddie smirked as she cleaned the bar. She wanted Lolly out. This was the way to do it.


Joey found Lolly at the shooting range. Lolly had lost her step some having missed a few times but she was getting back to it. "Hey Lolly." Joey said pissed off. Lolly turned hearing her turn. "What the hell is this I'm hearing about Jason challenging Merc for the President's seat." She asked defensively. Lolly sighed. Here we go...
(To be continue

Lolly looked at Joey. "All Jason did was accept it. The others are what caused this, besides you and I both know, this was never Merc's thing." Lolly said, inadvertently pissing Joey off more as she turned around and aimed her gun. "Why do I get the feeing you just want your spot back in the club.?" Joey said. Lolly turned her head. "What in the hell are you talking about?" She asked. "You, Jason probably wanted back so you went with him but you didn.t wanna be some regular ol lady no, you wanted to take my spot." Joey's voice rose to a crescendo and she shoved Lolly hard in the back. Luckily, the chamber was empty otherwise it would have went off. Lolly set the gun down and slapped Joey across the face, not too hard but Joey was still crying. "You have lost your mind, haven't you? Why in the hell would I want to come back into this shit? I'm fucking blind because of it. I wanted out, Jason felt Merc needed help. That's why he's back. To give Merc a hand and ease the other's members worry. You ever shove me with a gun in my hand girl, I will backhand the blonde off of you." Lolly said, picked up the gun and walked off. Joey stood stunned. Lolly's never been this pissed off before and what she said made sense. Jason probably just wanted to help Merc. That made more sense then what Maddie was saying. Joey went back to the clubhouse and crawled in the bed beside Merc, her face was a little pink but thankfully Merc was asleep, though she saw Jack Daniels assisted that.

Lolly walked inside the clubhouse fumming. Maddie saw this as a perfect opportunity to get to her. "Spoke with Joey did you?." She said and Lolly sighed. "What now." Lolly said. "You and Joey, she seems awfully pissed you're trying to take over her place in this club." Maddie said and Lolly realised where all of Joey's words were coming from. "So it's your fault."
"Mine? You're the one flaunting your pretty little ass around, to get her way. Well, I can't blame you. It's probably just a habit." Maddie said and Lolly cocked her head. "You wanna try that again?" Lolly said approaching her. "You are nothing but a stripper whore who happened to marry well." She said and Lolly's hand wanted to reach back for her gun it was empty and she decided against beating her with it. "Do you need to talk to your guidance counsler?" Lolly asked. Maddie frowned. "What?"
"Cuz this is some real high school bullshit right here, I don.t have for juvenile shit like this. I got kids at home for that." She said and walked off. Maddie knew she lost that word battle but she was far from done with her.

Once Lolly got home, She told Jason what happened. "She is working my nerves, Jason. Imma bust on in her ass one of these days. I'm telling you." Lolly said pacing. As calm as she was now, Maddie was testing the waters, she didn't know what type of shark Lolly could be. "I mean what the hell?" she said and Jason found it kind of funny, saying how she was doing good, her old self would have kicked her ass ages ago. "I'm a mother now, besides, If I fuck her up before your President, you could lose your chances. We came too far for that." She said and Jason pulled her into a hug, sayinga few things to calm her dowm and his usually kissing of the neck routine. "I'm trying to be nice. I am but I've never been one for patience." She said and Jason made a comment before pulling her into bed. "This ain't always gonna work ya know." she said and he laughed, calling her a terrible liar.

Joey spotted Jason as he was coming out of his room. She was still pissed and having no one but Maddie to listen to, she was ready to blow. She stormed up to Jason. "You've got some nerve." She started. "Blindsiding Merc will that, How could you do that to him?!" She barked, She was always mildly afraid of Jason but she loved Merc. She didn't want to see him hurt like this and to know his 'Brother' was to blame. "You come out of nowhere and just punched him right in the gut with that. That was real fucking low. You didn't come back to help, you were just tired of doing whatever Lolly said." She said and Jason turned around and went off. Before she knew it he had her in tears and shaking like a leaf. He brought up every horrible thing in her life, and threw it in her face. Once he finished, he pulled her into an unexpected hug and she sobbed silently into his chest. "Sorry, I went off on you ...but that really hurt Lolly, especially cause it came from you. We love you and Merc like family okay," He said softly "Merc was in trouble, the club was in trouble, that's why I'm here. I couldn't just sit in California while people close to me had shit going on." He said and she gave him a soft grin. Jason was the big brother she always needed. She felt horrible about the things she said and was glad for Jason's bare boned truth. "How about you go find Lolly. She's calm now, she took all of her energy out on me." He said with a wink and she giggled. "Go...Don't worry...Her gun's empty." He said and she scurried off to find Lolly.

She knocked on the door and Lolly told her to come in. "Lolly." Joey said in a small voice as she saw Lolly on the bed. Lolly took one look at her and could see how bad she felt. "C'mere." She said and Joey climbed into the bed and Lolly wrapped an arm around her. "I'm sorry Lolly, I was upset and Merc, I've never seen him look so hurt before." She said and Lolly sighed as Joey began to sob. "Shh... I know chica, you were looking out for your man. That other shit though, that was left field like a motherfucker, what was that?" Lolly asked , Joey looked ashamed. "I was upset, I started venting to Maddie I shouldn't have, I really didn't think about it, she came up with this crazy idea that you put Jason up to taking Merc's place, so you didn't have to be a regular Ol' Lady. It all sorta made sense at the time...." Joey looked down and Lolly was fuming but not at Joey, the girl was young, still trying to find her place in the world, and for the past three years, that was with Maddie and not Lolly. She regretted it. "I guess your cool with her, but that bitch fucking hates me, why? I don't care, but she's turning you against me. Or trying to. Don't listen to her. I love you. Okay. You are the little bratty sister I've always wanted and I would never do a thing to hurt you." She said, with a squeeze to Joey's shoulder. "Merc either, and for the record. Me and Jason had a nice little fight about that. I was pissed but I knew that if Merc needed help, Jason would do anything to help him, same as I would for you." She said and Joey looked at her, she always looked up to Lolly, from that day in the truck. "Imma go deal with Maddie, you go help Merc relax huh?" Lolly said and Joey laughed. Those two really were alike, her and Jason. Sex solved everything.

Lolly made her way toward the clubhouse floor. Maddie wasn't behind the bar and she smelled a curling iron so she checked the bathroom. There she found Maddie curling her hair. "What do you want?" Maddie said looking at her through the mirror. Lolly walked up to the sink, set down her bag and began adjusting her mascara then she turned to Maddie. "I don't care that you know I was a stripper, you can say what you want about me." she said eerily calm, Maddie didn't know that was like clear skies before a violent storm broke. "Joey, however, is an entirely different story." She said and moved in close. " if you EVER fuck with Joey's emotions like that again. I will shove that hot iron up your snatch. Are we clear?" Lolly whispered, her eyes staring into Maddie.s from the mirror. Maddie did look horrified but she caught herself. "I don't like repeating myself." She warned her. "We're clear..." Maddie said and Lolly walked out. Maddie took a breath and realised she left the curling iron in her hair and now some of it was burned and stuck to tne barrel.

"Fucking bitch..."

(whoops, that was weird, sorry xD)

Merc was sitting in the church at the table before everyone came in for the vote. He'd already cut off the President patch from his cut, he knew outcome, everyone did. In some ways Merc was relieved, he tried to be the same type of President as Deacon had been, as Jason, and then Nicky before he was arrested, but he had to admit he wasn't them. He didn't want to admit it, he wanted to think he'd be able to step up and handle the position, but the fact was that Jason was right, he'd made a lot of bad deals that hurt the club. Jason was also right saying that losing his President seat would hurt less than being known as the guy who killed the Knights of Armageddon MC.

The members started to file in, as did Jason and soon they were all assembled around the table. Merc spoke up, in what would ultimately be his last act as the President. "We've all had a day to think things over. The member challenge was made...requesting I step down from my role as President, and nominating Roach to take over as Pres. Anyone got anything else to add?" Merc said, but the room remained silent, Merc nodded "Alright....then on the motion to have me step down....", the vote went around the table, with each member voting "Yay" to the motion. Merc nodded, "The motion passes...I'll step down as Pres" Merc said, even though he knew this was the right move, it still stung a bit. "Now...Roach has been nominated as the successor as President...needing a unanimous vote to do so. Any opposed?" Merc asked, scanning the room. Remmy sat in his chair pondering the situation. He could vote no, it'd stop the vote and allow him to throw his name into the hat as well. However he knew the weight Roach carried with him, Remmy was virtually new to this charter, and Roach...well...they called him a living legend for a reason. It would be a risky move, as the new President is able to appoint his own Vice President and Srgt. at Arms, so if Remmy didn't win the vote he'd potentially be throwing away his VP seat as well. Remmy figured it was best to just stay quiet. "Alright none opposed...all in favor..." Merc said as all the hands went up, including Remmy, "then it's final...Roach...welcome back to the head of the table brother" Merc said with a half grin as the club cheered. Jason got up and hugged Merc as they switched seats.

"It's good to be back boys, and I want everyone to know that nobody should hold anything against Merc...he stepped up to serve this club when it needed somebody to step up, thanks brother" Jason said as Merc nodded. "Alright...if there's nothing else...meeting dismissed" Jason said banging the gavel. Merc got up and quickly made his exit as the members filed by to congratulate Jason. Remmy walked up giving Jason a hug, "Roach man...listen...anything you need to get up to speed, I'm here for ya brother" he said, Jason nodded "Thanks man, I'll be needing some insight into some stuff...we'll talk tomorrow" Jason said as he was greeted by other guys.

Shortly after the meeting Remmy headed home, when he got home Maddie was home already. "Hey baby girl" he said giving her a kiss, she asked how the vote had gone. "Well, as expected, Roach is in and Merc got voted out" Remmy said, Maddie made some comment about Jason coming back, and threw in something about Lolly being a stripper as well. Remmy turned to look at Maddie, "What was that all about?" Remmy asked. Then Maddie went off on a rant, spouting out her thoughts and opinions on Lolly, and even Jason, and they weren't that complimentary to say the least. "You fucking watch your mouth" Remmy shot back at his wife, catching her off guard. "Listen...as President, he chooses his VP and Sargeant at Arms. There's no vote, and he's highly territorial about his Ol' Lady...so I'd rather not lose my VP seat cause my wife can't keep her fucking mouth shut" Remmy said snapping at Maddie. Maddie countered that he never acted like this around Merc, "Of course not Maddie...this isn't just SOME member, this is the guy who was the heir apparent to this club. I can use maybe one hand to name guys who's name in the Outlaw world garner immediate respect, and Roach would probably be the first one on that list! If I can get him to keep me as his VP...even if I never take over his spot as Pres, being able to throw "VP to Jason Walker" on your resume' is a hell of an accomplishment, it can open up opprotunities for me through the entire MC. So do me a favor and don't start shit up, got it?" Remmy said as he headed for the living room after grabbing a beer.

Maddie was sitting at home, still pissed off about her mild altercation with Lolly. She wanted that bitch gone. Yesterday. And to find out she was just some stripper bitch, screw who father was. She was nothing. Maddie thought herself better then Lolly seeing as bad as things got, she never would stoop so low as to take her clothes off for money. Hey, baby girl." Remmy said when he same home gave her a kiss and she returned it. " How'd the vote go?" She asked, but already knew what was up. "Well, as expected, Roach is in and Merc got voted out." He said and Maddie groaned. " How can that just happen, He just comes back and takes shit over with his little stripper bitch. Remmy looked at her. "What was that all about?" He asked. Maddie groaned. " That little bitch, Lolly, She is so fucking full of herself, My guess is she convinced Jason to take Merc's spot so she won't have to go back to her old job as a fucking stripper." Maddie vented. "You fucking watch your mouth." Remmy snapped and Maddie flinched. "Listen...as President, he chooses his VP and Sargeant at Arms. There's no vote, and he's highly territorial about his Ol' Lady...so I'd rather not lose my VP seat cause my wife can't keep her fucking mouth shut" He said and Maddie was caught off guard. " You never pulled this shit with Merc." She said folding her arms. She didn't like how this was going, he wasn't on her side on this. "Of course not Maddie...this isn't just SOME member, this is the guy who was the heir apparent to this club. I can use maybe one hand to name guys who's name in the Outlaw world garner immediate respect, and Roach would probably be the first one on that list! If I can get him to keep me as his VP...even if I never take over his spot as Pres, being able to throw "VP to Jason Walker" on your resume' is a hell of an accomplishment, it can open up opportunities for me through the entire MC. So do me a favor and don't start shit up, got it? He said and disappeared into the living room with a beer in hand while Maddie watched him leave.

Later on, there was another party in Jason's name. Everyone was there to celebrate the new President. Even, Merc seemed to more relaxed as Joey brought him a beer and sat in his lap. Lolly was at Jason's side, he wanted to keep her far away from Maddie but at one point the guys went outside to talk about bikes and whatever else and the women were inside. Lolly was seated on one of the couches chatting it up and Maddie just watched her, becoming more and more pissed. "You're just living it up aren't you. So glad you're plan to get your man in control again worked perfectly." She said and Lolly arched an eyebrow. Joey looked scared for Maddie. " Maddie, C'mon, You've had too much." Joey said trying to pull her way. " No, Let her go, Joey. She needs to get this off her chest." Lolly said sounding diplomatic. Joey knew better then to believe that. "Maddie, seriously." She said tugging her arm, Maddie snatched away. " No! Joey, how can you let this little stripper bitch, come in here and take your shit." She said and Joey frowned, her eyes flicking over to Lolly who looked amused as she rested her arm on the back of the couch and rested her head in her hand. " Look at that smug look on her face. She doesn't even care." Maddie said and walked up to Lolly. "But I guess this is probably the best thing that's ever happened to you huh? I heard how you got that eye. I'm sure it wasn't so bad for you, you were probably used to spreading your legs for more then one man at a time." She sneered and Lolly narrowed her eyes. Joey could practically see the temperature rising in Lolly's face but she didn't bother pulling Maddie back, she didn't know how she found all that out but it wasn't from her. Probably one of the Mamma's from LA. Lolly always said she made enemies faster then she made friends. Joey was beginning to see that. Joey just stepped back, " Bet, it was family business, You're Mother turning tri-" Maddie didn't get a chance to finished as Lolly's fist slammed into her face. The women all gasped as Lolly grabbed Maddie by the neck and slammed her down on the marble floor. She climbed on top of her and began slamming her fists in to her one after another. Maddie didn't stand a chance.
As it happened, Remmy happened to walk in during this to find his wife being brutally beaten. He darted forward and slapped Lolly clean around the face, knocking her off of Maddie, stunning her briefly. Joey dated outside. " Jason!" She screamed letting off a horrible shriek, she didn't know what to do as Lolly charged forward as a few of the women grabbed her arms in a vain attempted to hold her back.

Jason was outside talking with some of the members, catching up and stuff when Joey came running out calling for him. She said something had started between Lolly and Maddy. "Fuck.." Jason said, tossing his cigarette as he headed inside. He got inside and saw Maddy lying on the ground her face already pretty beaten up. Some of the girls were trying to hold Lolly back, but she broke free, lunging at Maddy, but Remmy, acting on instinct, drove his knee into her stomach then backhanded her sending her crashing to the floor. Seeing somebody hit Lolly was always an immediate trigger for Jason, and nobody was able to grab him in time. Remmy heard footsteps behind him and immediately knew he'd screwed up. Remmy turned backing away "Roach....I didn't..." was all he could get out before a beer bottle smashed across his head. Jason was ontop of him throwing punches down on Remmy as he tried to shield himself, he heard stories of what kind of fighter Jason was, and unfortunately he was finding out first hand all those stories were entirely true. Jason rained down several blows on Remmy's head before he drove several knee shots into Remmy's ribs. Remmy normally could hold his own, but Jason's punches felt like sledge hammers hitting him, the guy could defintiely throw punches. Remmy tried charging at Jason, not to tackle him, but push him down and get some seperation from him, but that backfired as Jason grabbed onto him and threw him into the wall, the crack of the dry-wall echoing through the room.

As Jason and Remmy were fighting, Maddy had made an attempt at jumping on a dazed Lolly, but that proved to be a mistake as Lolly was back ontop of her, with only Joey to try and pull Lolly off of Maddy. Back by the wall Jason had thrown several kicks to Remmy's stomach before some of the older members were able to group tackle Jason, not down to the ground though, but enough to push him away from Remmy, as more guys got around Remmy to shield him should Jason break free. Through the whole melee all Merc did was sit there and watch, he still had some depression he was dealing with, having lost the President's patch, feeling like he was going to go back to being the invisible guy he felt he'd been before. Finally Joey was able to pull Lolly away and get her off of Maddy. One of the members commented that it looked like a couples tag-team match, and Jason and Lolly had evidently won, as they were the ones standing while both Maddy and Remmy were lying on the ground recovering from the beat downs they'd just received.

Jason walked over grabbing Lolly's wrist "You're getting out of here before you get me into another fight" Jason said as he yanked Lolly behind him towards the President's apartment, which was serving as their temporary home for the time being. Once inside the room Jason looked at Lolly, "I am PRAYING there's a damn good reason I just beat the hell out of our club's VP" Jason said annoyed. The intial fight came because of Remmy hitting Lolly, but Jason wasn't naieve either, he knew Remmy was probably acting out to defend his wife, something Jason couldn't really fault him for. Lolly started ranting about how Maddy was a bitch, and she was talking shit to her. "My god are you a teenager?" Jason shouted "I get that somebody talking shit about your mom is a sore spot...but fuck Lolly...try to control yourself just a bit huh?" Jason said angrily. Then Lolly's sights were set on Jason as she started yelling at him, calling him names and telling him she did what she did because "somebody has to wear the pants around here". "Sorry...I didn't realize I was married to a teenager" Jason muttered. He knew Lolly was just looking for a fight and she just needed time to cool down. He had every intention of giving her that time, but she had to get the final word, she taunted him for walking away, saying what kind of man was afraid of his wife. Jason ignored that heading for the door, then Lolly swung low, something she would probably curse herself for later. As he was leaving the bedroom she said, loud enough for him to hear, "well I didn't know I was married to some rat who is all to happy to become the FBI's bitch!". They hadn't fought much, if at all, during the last three years, so they were out of practice, like for Lolly, learning to shutdown certain phrases from leaving her mouth....and that would have been one of those phrases. Jason stormed back to her, grabbing her by the hair and throwing her down onto the bed, he slapped her once across the face, hard enough for her to see stars "DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!" He growled at her, his arms shaking as it took everything in him to stop at just the slap and not go further. He grabbed her chin "Next time I can't promise I hold myself back!" he said glaring at Lolly, he then got up heading for the door. "Don't fucking go back out there tonight!" Jason yelled as he left the room, leaving Lolly on the bed, angry, but also realizing just how much Jason had been able to restrain himself.

Remmy hauled Maddy into one of the side guest rooms. One of the Mama's had come inside and was helping to bandage up some of her cuts, as well as giving Remmy an ice pack to cut down on the bruising and swelling on his face. Shen then excused herself. Remmy looked at Maddy, "Are you happy?" Remmy asked, more than slightly annoyed. Maddy got mad at him for blaming her. "I heard the story Maddy, you just had to go and get into Lolly's face didn't you. And thanks to you I got the fucking hell kicked out of me", Maddy made a comment that it wasn't her fault, but it wasn't overly convincing. "It's not??? If you kept your MOUTH SHUT like I had asked, then Lolly wouldn't have been beating you, which in turn means I wouldn't have had to save your ass by getting her off of you...and in the process pissing Roach off and having him beat the hell out of me" Remmy said upset. Maddy made some comment about what kind of President attacks his VP. "He hasn't chosen his VP yet Maddy!" Remmy yelled, "And now I'M THE GUY that he saw evidently beating up his wife! I hope whatever issue you had going with Lolly was worth it...cause you probably just cost me my VP spot! Thanks a lot!" Remmy said as he stormed out of the room leaving Maddy alone.

------

He walked into the private bar area to get a drink and ran into Jason, Remmy looked away not sue how to react. "You okay?" Jason asked as he grabbed a beer. Remmy looked over at him, "It's been awhile since somebody kicked my ass" Remmy chuckled. "Sorry...I saw you hit Lolly...and...." Jason said as Remmy just nodded "I get it. If I saw somebody hit my wife...I get it. I probably went overboard" Remmy said grabbing a beer. "How many fights would guys get into if it wasn't for women?" Jason asked with a grin, Remmy laughed "Probably none" he said. "Listen...I'm not thrilled with how you did it...but...I get that you were trying to help out your woman, I gotta respect that" Jason said as Remmy nodded "Well...same with you" Remmy said with a chuckle. "We cool?" Remmy asked, almost afraid to ask. Jason looked at him, "Yeah...we're good man" he said as the two guys shook hands. "Hey...I still want to sit down with you tomorrow, go over some of the deals Merc set up and stuff" Jason said as Remmy nodded "Sure thing, just let me know when and where bro" Remmy said as he nodded to Jason then walked off sipping his beer, figuring he'd just dodge a massive bullet and figured he'd leave while he was ahead.

After the brawl she and Jason had with Remmy and Maddie, Jason snatched her by the wrist. "You're getting out of here before you get me into another fight He said as he dragged her off. She was far from in the mood to deal with his shirt right now, especially after Maddie bring her mother into. She knew deep down it was petty but she was never able to handle that. She didn't have her mother around to tell her not to talk about her. Nickie did but then again no one ever had the balls to talk about Jason Walker's mother. Bet he wouldn't be singing the same song.

Once in the room, Jason slammed the door. "I am PRAYING there's a damn good reason I just beat the hell out of our club's VP wife" He barked. " I already warned you she was working my nerves. I TOLD you. That bitch went too fucking far y Yo no podía dejar que su andar diciendo mierda sobre mi madre " She barked back, seething.My God, are you a teenager.”Jason said exasperatedly. ”I get it, someone talking about your mother is a sore spot...but Lolly...control yourself a bit huh?” He said and she threw up her hands. “ Oh ho, you are one to talk. Fucking hypocrite, I wanna hear you say that shit when someone starts talking shit to you, or maybe not, since you ain’t wearing the pant no more.” She said. ”Sorry, I didn’t know I was married to a fucking teenager.” He said and started walking off. It should have stopped there but Lolly was still way to fired up and Jason did nothing to take her cross hairs off of him. “Sorry, I thought I was talking to my husband and not some fucking rat who’s happy to be the FBI’s fucking bitch.” She said, throwing up her hand at him. Jason than stormed up to her, grabbed her by the hair and tossed her on the bed before slapping her hard across the face. ”DON”T YOU EVER CALL ME THAT AGAIN!” He hollered and Lolly was still stunned, so much so that sent her back to that room with the Russians. He grabbed her by the face as her eyes still tried to readjust. ”Next time, I can promise I’ll hold myself back.” He said and she practically snarled at him. IF she wasn't so dizzy."Don't fucking go back out there tonight!" he said and as he closed the door, she screamed “Don’t fucking tell me what to do!” WIth that, she climbed off of the bed packed some clothes and left without another word. "Are you happy?" Remmy asked, “How are you blaming me?!” She sobbed, her lip busted, her face bruised all over the place. .[b] "I heard the story Maddy, you just had to go and get into Lolly's face didn't you. And thanks to you I got the fucking hell kicked out of me",
“She hit me, It’s not my fault..” "It's not??? If you kept your MOUTH SHUT like I had asked, then Lolly wouldn't have been beating you, which in turn means I wouldn't have had to save your ass by getting her off of you...and in the process pissing Roach off and having him beat the hell out of me" Remmy said upset. “Some President, he is. Attacking the VP...” "He hasn't chosen his VP yet Maddy!" Remmy yelled, "And now I'M THE GUY that he saw evidently beating up his wife! I hope whatever issue you had going with Lolly was worth it...cause you probably just cost me my VP spot! Thanks a lot!" Remmy said as he stormed out of the room leaving Maddy alone.

It was a few hours, nearly the next day when Jason went back to check on Lolly but she was nowhere to be found. He asked around and no one had seen her since the fight, not even Joey. He then realised the one place she'd go now that they were back in Texas.
Her Dad's.

The next few days things kinda were normal. There wasn't a whole lot going on with the club, Nicky was taking some quality time with Elly, both were enjoying the company. They'd go off on his bike together and be gone for hours at a time, and both Jason and Lolly saw Elly coming out of her shell more. She was still a church mouse compared to Mireya, but she wasn't the quiet little girl in the corner anymore, even though she still did spend a fair bit of time reading.

Now that Nicky was out, it was time to move to the next phase of the plan. So far only Lolly and Jason and his parents knew about the agreement with the FBI, that's how Jason wanted to keep it. They had their weekly church meeting, Jason had his presentation for re-locating to Oregon all worked out and he figured the move would pass. Guys like Merc, Samson, Gunner and Nicky he knew would back him no matter what, he figured Remmy probably would too which was 5 guaranteed votes already. And he also knew the balance of power, if guys saw Nicky, Remmy, Merc, and Jason vote one way, unless there was a damn good reason, most guys would probably back them.

"Okay, so I've been thinking about this since I've gotten back...about Texas. Texas is busy, we got the Cartels from Mexico doing business around here, the street gangs in Dallas and San Antonio...and we know the Heathens or Rebels are probably going to try and get back into Texas at some point too. We moved from LA cause the heat was getting too much, the feds were all over our asses. Now in Texas, we don't got as much heat, but we got like 30 ways to die if you get my drift. We're mixed up with the drugs, and by extension the Cartels, so that's FBI and DEA jurisdiction. We've got our old suppliers interested in starting up business, meaning once the guns start moving again ATF will be looking at us...and there's rumors that even the fucking CIA is getting interested in the Mexican drug war, meaning our involvement with the Cartels could bring us into their cross-hairs too. Then the street gangs and other MC's...my point is there's a shit load of stuff going on and we've managed to put ourselves in the middle of all of it. My suggestion to the club is another re-location...north...to Portland, Oregon is a lot quieter, way less traffic, pretty much we got the pool to ourselves up there" Jason said. "When are you thinking of making this happen...if we vote it in?" Remmy asked. "We could start right away...slowly. Secure a clubhouse, make some scouting trips, stuff like that. Within a month or two we could be fully re-located and good to go. The other major factor to this...Oregon's got no Three Strike law, so we don't gotta worry about guys going away for 25 years if they get picked up" Jason said.

There were some murmurs as the members thought about it, it seemed like a lot of valid reasons, and Jason had his reputation backing him as well, guys tended to take Jason's plans as gold, even if they didn't understand it fully. Jason was about to call a vote when Nicky threw everything upside down. "I dunno how much research you've done bro...but Oregon's the last place we want to be moving. When I was inside, I met a guy from the Sons of Hell, during a conversation one time he mentioned Oregon. They may not have a Three Strikes law, but two years ago they brought in something they referred to as their Ride Free legislation. Any motorcycle club operating within Oregon has to apply for a state license, and to get approved for a state license every member of ther charter applying has to have a criminal record check done. If more than 25% of the members have had any felony charges within a two year span...the license is denied. And, if you're a charter with ties to a national or internation motorcycle club, if that club has felony charges, in 2 or more states...the license is denied". Jason listened to Nicky going on...essentially what he was doing was describing a grave yard for an Outlaw MC. "Now...if you are caught running a motorcycle club without a state license, the state has the legal right to seize ALL assets of the club, the club's leadership, President, VP, etc., all get arrested. Also, wearing the colors of a non licensed club is arrestable offense, with a sentence ranging from 30 days to 2 years. And this is all backed by the FBI's Organized Crime Taskforce. Sorry bro...but if my vote counts for anything...I vote no." Nicky said.

Jason didn't know what to think. He trusted Nicky's word, and if he was right, Oregon was suicide for any Outlaw MC. It also made him question Sears, was this all just a trick to get the club to Oregon, and if it was why did he sign off on Nicky getting released. He hated it, but the idea that Sears talked him into going back to the club and then bringing them to a death-trap for MC's was making more sense than the original story. But what did this do to the plan he had, the promises he had made to Lolly. "Alright...this is all news to me...so, sorry guys, I should have come up on this myself. We'll delay voting on this till we can get some more details and get something down pat. Until then...we're dismissed" Jason said as he brought the gavel down.

As they left Church Jason tapped Nicky on the shoulder "hey...let's do a beer run" he said, Nicky nodded. Ever since they could ride, they'd done "beer runs" together, essentially it was their code for hopping on their bikes, going for a long ride, finding a place to drink and talk about stuff...or nothing at all. Jason texted Lolly....

"To: Lolly
From: Jason

Going on a Beer Run with Nicky. Gotta sort shit out...Sears may be setting us up. Tell you everything when I get home"

With that, Jason and Nicky hopped on their bikes and took off. They rode for at least two hours, stopping once for gas, sometime later they passed by a small road-side bar, the exact types of places they looked for on these runs. They pulled in and walked inside, there was practically nobody inside, two guys who looked like construction workers, some fat Mexican guy who looked like he was passed out, and some older woman looked like she was dressed to entice some clients...although Jason had no clue how drunk somebody would have to be for that. Jason and Nicky ordered two beers and walked to a booth in the back.

"So this Oregon thing...it's legit?" Jason asked. "Yeah man, it's fucked up, but hey don't beat yourself up, it's not like they advertise this or anything. That's why the Sons of Hell left Oregon, and why...like you said...nobody's there. Where'd that come from anyway?" Nicky asked. Jason was quiet for a moment, "remember that fed, Sears?" Jason asked. "Ha, yeah, the fuck-head we left standing on the highway in LA...I remember that asshole...why?" Nicky said with a laugh. "About a month ago he found me in Malibu...he said he needed help, tracking down some international crime ring. He wanted me to get back into the club, as President, then they wanted to use us to get info on these guys. Offered us immunity...and...got you released early" Jason said. Nicky looked at him stunned. "I oughtta break this fucking bottle over your fucking head!" Nicky shouted. "Are you fucking kidding me? YOU of all people turned rat for the fucking feds??? Who the fuck are you?" Nicky said getting irate. "Call me a rat again and you better be ready to throw down" Jason snapped back. "Well you tell me what the fuck you are then?" Nicky countered, "LISTEN...I was going to turn him down till he mentioned you getting out..." Jason said, "Oh fuck that, don't make this about me..." Nicky cut him off, before being cut off himself. "Will you shut the fuck up for a second. Elly NEEDED you out of prison, I was working on a plan...just like last time...to fuck him over, I didn't have everything pinned down yet...but this shit you mentioned...he never mentioned any of that" Jason said. "That's cause he's FUCKING YOU OVER!" Nicky snapped. They were both quiet for a few moments, sipping their drinks. "I got lazy...I'd have seen this coming a mile away back in the day" Jason said quietly. "So if you don't play ball with him...I got back inside right?" Nicky said, "I'd imagine something like that" Jason replied. "They re-opened the investigation right?" Nicky said, as Jason nodded, "which means...now that I was able to get released...they'd have to charge me again, and there'd have to be another trial...or at least another hearing for that" Nicky said, Jason looked up "what are you getting at?" he asked. "What if their evidence disappears?" Nicky said throwing the question out into the air. Jason thought for a moment, neither one were lawyers, but they knew the law well enough. "They'd have to drop the charges...and you'd walk" Jason said, "now how the hell do you suggest we make that evidence disappear?" Jason asked, Nicky grinned "That's your job bro...you're the master mind" he said, "But you'd be able to cut ties with Sears" Nicky said. "Not yet though...Sears doesn't know I'm onto the Oregon thing...so he still has to play his end, meaning if we re-locate his deal still has to stand" Nicky nodded, but wasn't following, "He pretty much gave me a get out of jail free card, along with the FBI's credit card. What if we still re-locate...but we relocate BACK to LA?" Jason said. "As long as we were under the cover of this so-called mission...the FBI couldn't touch us" Nicky said with a grin, "Sears gets caught in his own game. He can't back out, cause if he does we could nail him for attempted entrapment, make it public he was channeling FBI funds to an Outlaw MC...and his career is over" Jason said grinning. "And as long as we keep up the facade of working with this crime ring, who may or may not exist...he's gotta keep us out of jail and keep signing the checks for us" Nicky said with a grin. "But...how do you bring this to the club without telling them the whole story?" Nicky asked. "I dunno yet...but we got time to figure that out." Jason said.

Jason and Nicky got back on their bikes, he sent another text to Lolly, telling her they'd be home in about 2 hours, still in time to say goodnight to the kids. As they rode Jason could only wonder how quickly he'd have to start dodging punches once he told Lolly the latest news.

-------------

Jenni was hanging around the clubhouse, it was a pretty lazy night, just a couple guys around. Maddy came up to her, seemingly a lot more talkative to her than she usually was. Jenni was just a Mama, and so to Maddy that seemed to mean she was some sort of a lesser person...not to mention she was a porn actress on the side, something Maddy always seemed to look down on her for. But tonight she seemed a lot more friendly, so Jenni decided to just go with it. She asked her if she had a boyfriend or anyone she was seeing, "not really, been on some casual dates here or there, but ya know, nothing serious" she said. Maddy then started talking about Jason being back, and asking her what she thought of him looks wise. "I dunno, I mean...he's good looking I guess, but he's married and he's got like three kids" Jenni said, not sure what Maddy was up to. Maddy made a comment about how not everyone who was married was happily married, Jenni looked at her for a moment, she then clarified she didn't mean her and Remmy. "Look I don't mean to sound like a bitch...but what's all this talk about Jason?" Jenni asked. Maddy just shrugged it off, saying she was making conversation. She then made a comment about Lolly always mis-treating him, and how it wasn't fair that she was just using her for her own gain. "Well I'm sure Roach is a grown man and can take care of himself" Jenni commented, Maddy then made a comment saying something about maybe Jason was looking for a new woman to take care of him. She then said something about having to meet Remmy and left, leaving Jenni somewhat confused as to what their whole conversation was really about. Not realizing she was becoming the un-knowing bait in Maddy's newest scheme.

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.

As Maddie finished up a painting, Mireya and Elly lined up. Mireya took a seat first which was fine with Elly because she knew full well her baby sister couldn't stand in line for the life of her. "Hi miss Maddie." Mireya chirped. "Hey Mireya, What would you like?" Maddie asked. "I want a Tiger. I love tigers! Can I have a tiger." Mireya said excitedly. "Sure." Maddie said and got started. Elly had her headphones on while she waited and Maddie saw this as an opportunity to have a conversation with Mireya. "So do you like Texas?" She asked her as she applied the face paint. "Mhm. I miss home though." Mireya said, "Aww, Why's that?" Maddie asked feigning sympathy. "Oh Just cause, I like to dance, Momma used to be a dancer there. I wanna be one too," Mireya said. Maddie looked horrified. "You wanna be a stripper?" Maddie asked, now it was a slip up really, she didn't know Lolly was a professional dancer in LA but she decided now was a good a time as any. "A what?"
"A Stripper is a woman, who dances for men, she takes off all her clothes for money." Maddie said and set down her brush. "All done." She said. Mireya was 12, not stupid. "That's not true." She said, bitterly. Elly was standing behind her so she couldn't see her face. Maddie began apologizing."I'm sorry, you said that, I thought you knew that was what you mother was." Maddie said. Mireya's breathing picked up. A panic attack was coming. So She got up and ran off looking for Jason.

To Elly it just looked like Mireya was finished and wanted to go some place else. She put her Ipod back in her bag and and took a seat. "Where'd Rey rush off to?" She asked. "I dunno." Maddie said. "So what would you like?" She asked. "Um...A flower, I guess." She said with a shrug. Maddie nodded and got started. "You have such straight hair." Maddie said, looking at Elly's long blonde hair, it was styled in a french braid, compliments of Lolly. "Thanks." "Mine is never that straight." Maddie laughed. "How does your mother do it?" "Do you want?" "Go from all of her curly hair, and Mireya's curly hair to yours. That would drive me nuts." Maddie said and could see Elly was insecure about her looks. Maddie figured she'd play with that. "I dunno, she's gotten used to it I guess." Elly said. "Well, I guess she had time to practice, Having 13 years to get used to it." Maddie laughed. Elly caught that. "She's not my real mom..." Elly said softly. "Oh?" "My mom died..." She said. "I'm sorry to hear that." "It's okay, Lolly's my mom now. She adopted me." She said. "Oh well that was nice of her...All done." Maddie said and Elly stood up. She didn't really know what to make of the conversation but it lingered on her mind how different she was. Suddenly, there was a lot of commotion a little ways away.

Mireya rushed around, hyperventilating looking for her father. She scanned the crowd for blonde hair and while she saw plenty, they didn't belong to her father. Which made her panic attack way worse. Lolly saw her, she was feeding Jack when the girls went to get their face painted. Handing Jack to Joey. "Mireya Mija, Just breath." Lolly said and tried to picked her up but Mireya pushed her away. She stumbled to the floor and began to convulse violently. "JASON!" Lolly screamed as loud as she could as Mireya began seizing. Mireya's never seizing before. The doctor's said it could happen but it wasn't likely. Lolly turned her on her side. Joey rushed over. "Where's Jason?!" Lolly asked. "I--I don't know." "Call him, tell him, Mireya's seizing." Lolly ordered and Joey got to it quickly as Lolly turned Mireya on her side. Praying it would end. Soon Elly appeared too. "What's going on? Where's Daddy?" Elly said tears running down her face. Joey pulled her into a hug. "Shh shh. It'll be alright.

Nicky was talking with some biker guys, not MC related, discussing bikes and stuff when he saw Joey running frantically through the crowd. "Where's Jason, something is wrong with Rey" Joey gasped, panicking herself. "She's seizing, over by the park...Jason needs to come now!" Joey said frantically. "Okay..okay...I know where he is...just calm down and go back with them...I'll go get him" Nicky said as he ran off to where he knew Jason was meeting with a potential gun customer.

-------

Jason was talking with a Japanese man, with Remmy and Gunner beside him. They were somewhat removed from the party in the main part of the town.

"I don't understand, you're here in Texas, we are in Los Angeles" the man said to Jason in a heavy Japanese accent. "We're in Texas right now...but...we're thinking of making a return to Los Angeles. A lot of the heat that was going on back when we left is gone, and we still got all our old contacts" Jason said to him. "I see...these guns...where would they come from?" the man asked. "Originally...I don't know. Russia, Israel, China, the Middle East...I care that my supplier gets me the weapons...not where they originate from" Jason said, "I suppose I need to be clearer...I mean once they enter the United States" the man said. "They come in wherever we need them to come in. Los Angeles is a port city so it's not that big of an issue". Jason said. "Well it sounds good so far, I believe the Chang Triad would be very interested in your offer. I will take it back to my father and we'll be in contact...." the man said as he was suddenly interrupted by Nicky.

"Hey...hate to barge in, but Rey's seizing right now in the park" Nicky said. Jason looked at the man "It's my daughter...I gotta go" Jason said, "Of course...family is always first" the man said" as Jason followed behind Nicky running to the park. "We'll be in touch" Remmy said, finalizing the meeting with the man, the man bowed "Yes we will" he said as he dsiappeared into a black Mercedes escorted by two black SUV's as the cars drove off.

----------

Jason got to the park and saw Mireya on her side convulsing. He got in beside her and Lolly, "Rey baby, Daddy's here okay" he whispered, stroking her hair, "Daddy's got you okay" he repeated as he held her shaking body. Eventually her shaking subsided and the convulsions stopped, she clung to Jason so tightly Jason probably didn't need to use his arms to keep her there. Jason looked up at one of the Prospects "Hey Hector...go get my truck, and I need it like NOW", he nodded as he took off sprinting for his bike. By this time Remmy and Gunner had gotten to the scene as well. "What the hell triggered this?" Jason asked Lolly, who didn't have any answers. "We just had Ms.Maddy painting our faces...Rey left and everything seemed fine" Elly said as Jason held Rey stroking her hair, he grinned as he finally felt her hands gripping his hair. "What kinds of things trigger it?" Remmy asked, Jason shook his head "Panic attacks, anything making her feel unsafe, or insecure...usually if me and Lolly get to her right away she's fine" Jason said. "I got no clue how a party and face painting would do this" Jason said shaking his head.

Remmy excused himself and went to find his wife. "Come with me" he growled as he grabbed his wife's arm yanking her to a spot by some trees where they could be alone. She asked what was wrong, "you better tell me the truth on this Maddy or so help me...did you have anything to do with that?" Remmy said trying to control his anger as he pointed to the group huddled around Mireya. Maddy tried stalling a bit, "Right after you paint her face she has a panic attack...now TELL ME you didn't have anything to do with it!" he growled shaking her. Maddy stammered, but claimed she had no clue what happened. Remmy stared at her, "if I find out different..." Remmy said as his voice trailed, he then walked off leaving Maddy alone.

-------------

Jenni had been doing some face painting as well, and now was just out mingling with people. Her phone went off and she saw it was a text, from Maddy. The message read "You fuck Roach at the party tonight! I don't care how, just do it or else!. Jenni sighed, she had thought for hours on ways out of this but couldn't find any way out for herself...she had to do it.

Finally Jason arrived as Lolly held her daughter on her side. Finally it subsided, and Mireya grabbed on to Jason, trembling as he stroked her hair. What the hell triggered this?" He asked. "I don't know. I was feeding Jack, they went to get their faces painted." Lolly said, she was pissed off and scared all at the same time. Mireya finally began twisting Jason's hair. Lolly smiled at her, able to relax that the attack subsided. Elly then explained what happened. Lolly looked at Elly and sighed. Maddie. Fucking figures. She'd find out what really happened from Mireya. Remmy was off and Lolly's eyes watched him as he found Maddie. She'd deal with that later. "What happened Mija?"She asked but Mireya hide her face in Jason's neck. Lolly was taken aback. That was new. She wasn't sure if she'd just imagined her pushing her away or not but now she knew. She knew Maddie would just lie to her, so she had to find this out. Lolly felt Elly's go around her waist. "She looked fine when she got up. I swear." She sobbed. "Shh shh, She's fine now, don't you worry." She said. Maybe Jason could talk it out of her.

Maddie didn't know what happened when she was snatched up by her husband. "What's wrong with you?"She asked as he took her behind trees. "You better tell me the truth on this Maddy or so help me...did you have anything to do with that?" He said pointing to the group. "I--I don't--""Right after you paint her face she has a panic attack...now TELL ME you didn't have anything to do with it!" He said shaking her. Maddie turned her head, "I-I swear, I don't know what happened. S-She was fine when she left." She said. "If I find out different." He said and walked off. As soon as he was gone, Maddie pulled out her phone and text Jenni. She'd have to get this heat off of her, if Lolly and Jason found out, she'd be dead.


Later that evening, Mireya clung to Jason and didn't speak a word to Lolly. When Jason tucked her into bed, she tugged his arm and sat up. "Daddy..." She said. "Is it true that Mommy took her clothes off for money." She asked. Jason looked horrified. He had two options, tell her the truth or lie to her face.

"Look, I won't try to defend what happened. I fucked up." Jason started. Lolly just listening, her hands under her thighs, stopping herself from running to him and doing what she didn't know. "I got drunk...and suddenly it was all happening." He said and Lolly cut her eyes at him. Jason then went on to explain things. "I was coming back to apologize for being such a bitch to you, Do you know how much it hurt to see you with someone else after that. It literally felt like I'd been shot. I meam hell, I'd rather take another bullet then to go through that again." Lolly said, tears threatening her eyes.Jason went on to apologize in his own special way and Lolly looked defeated. She wanted to forgive him but she could still see it...him and her. "You can't erase this, Jason. You're right about that. I mean, I can't see you without wondering if you're thinking about her." She said and Jason went on to say if that were true he wouldn't be here. He then mentioned his conversation with Mireya. "She's my daughter." She muttered and regretted it the moment, it left her lips. Jason started to leave. The last time he told her to call him, like that, he was on a plane to Ireland. " No wait, Jason...I'm sorry. I just can't think straight anymore..." She said. Jason then placed a bottle on the table, asking her why someone else was raising her kids. Lolly looked at the bottle amd burst into tears. "Ugh God. I'm such a horrible mother...I have no idea what's happening anymore..." She sobbed and Jason took her hand, and it was like something broke through the fog in her mind. "Come home." She said. "I don't know if I'm ready for us yet but They need us both." She said and Jason nodded. With that, she slid her arms around him gingerly but once there she nearly melted into him. She didn't know how to get passed this but she loved him too much not to try.

Later that night, Lolly lay in bed. alone. Tossing and turning in her sleep with the strangest of dreams.
She was running through the woods, Her body was illuminating the darkness of the forest. Behind her a pack of wolves, snarling and snapping at her. She ran and ran as fast as she could until she approached a dead end. She pressed her body against the mountain that blocked her path. The Alpha stepped forward. Challenging her and she did as well. He snarled. Bright blue eyes that pierced her heart and she knew instantly whose they were. Just then the Wolf stepped even closer, circling her then stood up, and as he stood. He morphed into a human. It was Jason. He grabbed her arm roughly and she tried to pull away but he had her. Her only option was either accept that she was his now or fight. As she mentally battled over this, the wolves started howling, and snarling at him. He stood protectly in front of her, snarling at the wolves before shifting again. Suddenly, the wolves were all attacking him trying to get to her but he stopped them, defeating them all but not without a price. He was injured badly. For whatever reason, she dropped down, and pressed her hand to the wound, bathing it in light and soon it was held. When she looked up he was human again. With that, he pulled her into a kiss, trailing it down her jaw and lingering at her neck..."

Lolly woke up with a start. Her brow slick with sweat. She didn't know how to react to that dream but it started to clarifiy things. She keeps running from this life, this life that Jason is apart of but she knew deep down, He had her by the heart, and he wouldn't do a thing to truely hurt her and at the same time, in a way. She protected him, kept him from being a monster. She couldn't sleep much affer that.

A Few days later, Elly was at the drug store, in the hair isle. She was trying to find hair dye that matched Lolly and Mireya's when Maddie appeared. "Hey Elly." She said sweetly. "Hi."
"Whatcha lookin at?"
"Hair dye." She said. "Hair dye. What ever for?" Maddie asked. "I just wanna change my look, I'm tired of looking so different." Elly said. "Ah. Well. You know you can never really change the way you look. I mean so you're a little heavier then you're sister, a little paler. You are what you are. That'll never change." Maddie said and walked off. Elly stood trembling, she wanted to be like them. She wanted to change. Elly then bought the darkest brown hair color she could. She rushed home, and tried dying her hair. She knew Lolly was busy on the phone preparing them for a new private school and Jason was out working. She'd have plenty of time to do it before anyone knew what happened.

Little did she know. Her scalp was sensitive, and as soon as she started, it began to burn. She started to panic and being rising it out at fast as she could. Some of the dye already set, but she figured she could hid it with a hat or something. She threw the boxes of hair dye away and sat on the toliet defeated. Maddy was right. She was never going to change. She started crying silently. Not sure what to do anymore

Jason looked at Maddie, then Lolly, then back at Maddie. He let her go. Lolly cracked her neck. "Remmy, I suggested you take her out of here or move aside." Lolly warned and while Remmy decided. Lolly's phone rang. She answered, "Not a good time." She said and Jenni rushed the reason for calling. "What?! How?, Fuck, I'm on my way." She hung up. "Elly's being taken to the hospital. She tried to kill herself." She told Jason and Lolly was off. She didn't know nor care if Jason was behind her as she climbed in her truck and peeled off for home. The bike behind her she knew was Jason's.

Once there, Elly was being carted off and Mireya ran to Jason. "I'm scared Daddy, Ms. Jenni said Elly was sick." She said, twisting his hair trying to keep calm. Jason managed to keep her calm as Lolly made a beeline for the ambulance.

Shortly after, they were at the hospital and Elly was being wheeled to the emergency room to get her stomach pumped. Lolly was stopped at the door. Lolly watched in horror and soon felt Jason's arms go around her. Here she was wrapped up in her own shit not see any of this coming. She should have. Jenni had slipped her the note before they left.
It read:
Dear Lolly,
I don't belong here. I tried, but I don't look like you or Mireya or Jack and I even tried to change it but nothing worked. I should have been in that car that day, with Mom and Seth.
I love you, Lolly, thank you for trying.
Love always,
Elly.

Lolly looked up at Jason. "She tried to kill herself...." She breathed and Jason pulled her into a hug and she sobbed into his chest. It was then Nicky and Ae-Jin arrived. Beau as out with some fishing buddies that night but got the call from Nicky.

Blood or not, that was his grandbaby.
Now, they just had to wait.

Remmy came home to find Maddie standing in their living room, rocking a baby in her arms. He asked her what the hell was going on.
"Hi!" She said cheerfully as she bouncing the quietly sobbing little boy in her arms. "Momma." He whimpered. Maddie pouted. "I'm your momma now. How about Randell Junior? That's what will call you. RJ for short." She said happily. Remmy looked horrified when he realised who's child that was. He started barking at her, calling her crazy and anything else he could think up. "Shh, You'll scare RJ."
Remmy yelled at her, telling her that Jack Walker. JASON Walker's son. "Not anymore! He threw me down a hole, Made me leave you. I didn't want to. He made me, They made me, they took everything from me. But It's all better now because we have little RJ." She said tickling Jack's stomach, he was not amused. Then a thought occured to Remmy. He asked her how she got Jack. "RJ. He was in the car, all by himself while SHE was sleeping on the street. She's a horrible mother." She said rocking the weeping boy. "Momma, Momma. I want Momma." "I'm right here. RJ. I'm right here."
"MOMMA!" He screamed, scaring Maddie some. "Shush shush, or it's a time out, for you mister." Maddie said. Remmy stood in shock.Maddie had seriously gone crazy. He didn't know how to react. She turned Jack to Remmy."Say hi to Daddy. Hi Daddy." She said waving his hand at him. Jack pulled his hand away and began pulling on Maddie's hair hard and then yanked out an earring, splitting her ear lobe down the middle. Maddie yelped and handed him off to Remmy before running to the bathroom to clean her wound.

There Remmy was left with the baby, his wife, or whatever this girl was had just kidnapped, and wondering what had she done to Lolly?

Nicky got to the square and couldn't find Lolly, but he saw her SUV. When he saw the back door open and nobody nearby he quickly rushed over, "Fuck" he muttered as he saw Lolly on the ground. "Lolly...Lolly...wake up" he said but she was out. He saw a dent on the SUV and could put two and two together, he quickly dialed 9-1-1 and gave their location. "Lolly...Lolly it's Nicky...Lolly" he said but she wouldn't wake up. Nicky called Jason's phone. "Yeah what's up?" Jason answered, seeing Nicky's number, "Go to the hospital right now...I just found Lolly in the square, don't know what happened but she's hurt, 9-1-1 is on their way, just meet us there" Nicky said. Jason's mind was spinning, "Okay...yeah...okay, is Jack hurt?" Jason asked. Nicky looked confused for a moment till he saw the back door and the car seat, "Jack's going to be okay" Nicky said. He knew Jason would freak out if he found out Jack was gone, at least in person Nicky could...at least TRY...to keep Jason somewhat calm, maybe not calm but at least in this orbit. Nicky then texted Gunner, "Lolly's hurt, get everyone to the hospital now" Nicky then waited as he heard the ambulance down the street. He then texted Ae-Jin, "Lolly's been hurt, keep the girls distracted till we know more". The girls were with her for some more tutoring sessions.

Jason's head was spinning, he hopped onto his bike and was flying to the hospital. He made it there in record time, and probably set a new record in traffic violations as well...maybe even a new personal best for him. Jason got to the hospital and saw some members already there, they told him they'd just pulled up but the ambulance wasn't here yet. Shortly after Jason arrived, Gunner's bike was roaring into the parking lot as well. "Boss, you need anything just say the word" he said, Jason nodded "yeah...I just need my wife in one piece" he mumbled as they went inside. They could hear the distant sound of sirens as they walked in.

Nicky rode with Lolly on the ambulance, her legs had been crushed it looked like by a vehicle of some sort. Nicky couldn't put it together, there was no beef between them and anyone at the moment, and to target the KOA President's Ol Lady and take his kid, that was a hand-written invitation to an all out war which made no sense either. As they rode Lolly's eyes fluttered open a moment, "Hey...don't worry, you're going to be fine" Nicky said. Lolly tried getting up, saying something about baby Jack. "Shhh don't worry, Jack is going to be okay" he said stroking her hair. She seemed to calm down a little, she said something else to Nicky, but before he could reply she had passed out again.

------------------

Remy got home and he saw Maddy in the living room, sitting with a baby. "Hi!" She said cheerfully as she bouncing the quietly sobbing little boy in her arms. "Momma." He whimpered. Maddie pouted. "I'm your momma now. How about Randell Junior? That's what will call you. RJ for short." She said happily. Remmy then saw the tiny size KOA shirt the boy was wearing, "holy shit Maddy" he cried out as he realized the baby in her arms was Jack Walker. "What fuck...hell...you are now officially a crazy ass bitch" Remmy shouted, "what the fucking hell are you thinking!" he shouted. "Shh, You'll scare RJ." "Are you on fucking drugs! That is JACK WALKER for shit's sake. That's Roach's kid...." he was shouting, "Not anymore! He threw me down a hole, Made me leave you. I didn't want to. He made me, They made me, they took everything from me. But It's all better now because we have little RJ.". "Okay...I don't probably even want to know this answer...but I'll ask it anyway. Where...HOW...did you get Jack?" he asked, knowing the answer wasn't going to be good no matter what. "RJ. He was in the car, all by himself while SHE was sleeping on the street. She's a horrible mother." She said rocking the weeping boy. "Momma, Momma. I want Momma." "I'm right here. RJ. I'm right here.
"MOMMA!" He screamed, scaring Maddie some. "Shush shush, or it's a time out, for you mister." Maddie said. Remmy stood in shock.Maddie had seriously gone crazy. He didn't know how to react. She turned Jack to Remmy. "Say hi to Daddy. Hi Daddy." She said waving his hand at him. Jack pulled his hand away and began pulling on Maddie's hair hard and then yanked out an earring, splitting her ear lobe down the middle. Maddie yelped and handed him off to Remmy before running to the bathroom to clean her wound.

As Remmy held Jack his cell phone went off, he check the text message, it was from Gunner "Lolly's hurt bad in hospital, everyone get there ASAP". Remmy shook his head, he knew this was Maddy "fuck what did you do" he muttered to himself. Jack was crying some more. "Hey buddy...hey...it's Uncle Remmy" he said in a soothing voice, Jack seemed to recognize Remmy's cut, recognizing it was the same as his dad wore, which seemed to calm him down, even as little as he was he seemed to realize that meant he was a safe person. "Hey...how about we go for a ride and go find your dad huh?" he whispered to Jack. Remmy figured he'd play off Maddy's craziness, "Hey honey, I'm going to go take....RJ...to go play outside, I think it'll cheer him up" he shouted, Maddy said something about knowing how this would make him happy, and that she'd be right out.

Remmy took the keys to his truck then walked out. He didn't have a baby car seat or anything, he knew it was probably bad, but he held Jack in his lap as they drove. "Vroom, vroom" Jack said as they drove off, Remmy grinned. He really did want a kid, especially a son...but he wanted HIS own, not one his crazy wife had kidnapped. "She should have just stayed away" he thought to himself as they drove.

----------

Lolly was rushed in as Jason and everyone was told to wait in the waiting room. Jason then looked at Nicky "Where's Jack?" he asked. Nicky pulled him aside, "I....I don't know WHAT happened. Lolly texted me to meet her to talk...I got there...I found..." Jason cut him off, "Where's my kid Nick!" Jason snapped, Nicky paused, "I don't know....the car seat was empty" he said quietly. "You told me he was going to be okay!" Jason said grabbing Nicky and pinning him to the wall as the other members rushed to brreak it up. "You're fucking lying to me now!" Jason yelled. Gunner and Merc pulled Jason back as Fat Bobby got in front of Nicky to seperate them. "I wasn't lying...I just knew you'd freak out if you found out over the phone" Nicky shouted back. "So somebody took my son, is that it?" Jason said, almost shaking, Nicky didn't have an answer. "Why are you all still standing here...somebody go find who the fuck took my son!" Jason shouted, it was a ridiculous request as there were no leads, but nobody was dumb enough to question Roach right at the moment.

Just then Remmy walked in holding Jack. Jason rushed to him grabbing Jack holding him, "where'd you find him" Jason asked as Jack clinged to his dad's chest. Remmy looked around, he figured the story would get out anyway, "Maddy did all this...I got home and she was holding him like he was her kid...she's fucking lost it brother. I thought she was gone...I had no clue..." Remmy said, Jason and Nicky both looked at Remmy, "Maddy?" they asked. "Yeah she's gone Loonie Toons brother...she was blabbering about you throwing her down a hole and stuff...and I dunno...Jack seems fine, and....fuck bro, sorry about Lolly" Remmy said, he had no clue what else to say. "Thanks...for bringing him back" Jason said nodding as Remmy went to sit down.

Nicky pulled Jason aside, "I thought she got on a bus?" Nicky asked, "well she damn won't be now will she" Jason replied, "but I forgot...you don't want to be mean to her right? I mean she did almost kill your fucking step-daughter and all...but hey let's just say it's water under the bridge right?" Jason said glaring back at Nicky. Nicky was a little thrown back, he realized trying to keep Maddy alive probably threw up major red flags for Jason. He didn't want to kill Maddy, but now he had no choice, if he tried to protest any type of hit on her now...he'd for sure be made, if Jason hadn't started suspecting him already. "Okay...I was wrong...look...we'll talk about this later" Nicky said, Jason nodded "yeah we will" he said as he sat down with Jack.

He had his son back now, now he just needed to have his wife back.

Lolly was in and out of consciousness as she was taken into the ER. All she could remember was Nicky, Jack and not feeling her legs.

Whilst in the ambulance, she regained consciousness. "Jack, Where's Jack." She breathed but Nicky calmed her down. "Jack's gonna be fine." He told her and she lay back on the gerney. "My legs...Nick...I can't feel my legs..." She managed before falling back out.

Once in the hospital, Lolly blinked in and out again. "Jack..." She muttered as the doctors wheeled her into the operating room.

After a while, The doctor walked out to find the man that brought her in. He saw him with who he assumed with his brother as they looked alike. "Um Are you the husband?" The doctor asked Nicky. Jason answered quickly and somewhat defensive.
"Oh I'm sorry, Well, I'm not going to lie to you, Mr. Walker, She's still in critical right now. Her pelvic bone was crushed, there's internal bleeding and there's been some damage to her spinal cord..." He said and didn't know how to tell him the rest. "Mr. Walker, She'll live but even after surgery, she may never walk again." He said and swallowed afraid of the man's reaction. He didn't seem like the type to take bad news well.

---

---

Maddie walked out of the bathroom with a bandage on her ear but smiling. She walked outside. "Momma's all better R-" She looked around for Remmy and Jack by they were gone. "Remmy? RJ? Where'd you go?" She called and as she looked around her grin faded into a frown.

She sat in the middle of the yard, sobbing. Even Remmy was against her too.

---

---

Hours Later, Lolly was out of surgery and conscious but not all that lucid.

Jason offered to tell Lolly the news and was the first to see her. "Hi." Lolly said meekly, her voice was strained, her face brusied from slamming into the car's hood, her legs were in casts. She was a wreck.

Jason sat beside her. A frown crossed her features. "Jack." Jason told her he was fine and Lolly relaxed some but was quiet. Jason started to talk but Lolly- by mistake really, spoke his turn. "Where's Jason, Nick, I can't feel my legs. " She said softly. Jason laughed a little, she could hear the humorlessness in it. He told her he was Jason. Lolly narrowed her eyes, and her vision finally cleared. "I never thought you two looked alike until now." She said with a snicker. Jason was quiet."What's with the face?" She smiled softly. Jason took a breath and told her the news.

Lolly's eyes widened. "Never...Wa-" Jason quickly told her how they said she couldn't get pregnant. "But I can't feel my legs, Jason..." She said and started sobbing. "I can't feel my legs..." She said. This was devastating, she was a dancer, her legs were her life without that, she didn't know what she'd do. "Who took Jack?" She asked after a moment, Jason told her not to,worry about it. he was fine. "Whoever took Jack, took my legs too." She said bitterly. "Who took Jack?"
