Nicky Rhodes's Story

Jason kissed Lolly goodbye as she headed out to get the kids. Jason rode to the clubhouse and then the whole club rode out to Fort Hood penitentiary. One of the prospects rode Nicky's bike there and was threatened with death if anything happened to it. The ride up was about an hour. They parked their bikes in front of the release gate waiting for Nicky, Jason was carrying his cut. Everyone cheered as they saw Nicky walk out of the gates, wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Jason was the first to greet him with a hug and the rest if the members followed after that.

Nicky turned to the guards "Fuck you later assholes!" Nicky shouted while extending his middle finger in the direction of the guards. "Think this is yours bro" Jason said handing him his cut, Nicky grinned and threw the cut on. He then looked at Jason seeing the President patch in his chest, he pointed to it "I'm almost more glad to see that than to be out" Nicky said with a grin as they hugged again. "Well let"s get home, you got two ladies waiting to see you" Jason said. They climbed onto the bikes and headed for home, as they drive past the prison all the club members held up their middle fingers, flipping it off as they drove by.

The club rode to the clubhouse first where everyone else was there to welcome Nicky back, Jason knew the girls would be almost home so they quickly made their way back to the house. As they rode Nicky suddenly pulled over off the road. Puzzled Jason stopped and pulled over as well. "Everything okay on your bike!" Jason asked. Nicky was just staring at the road, Jason looked then saw the gravel road and knew why Nicky stopped. "Still feels like yesterday" Nicky said, staring at the intersection where Jetta's accident happened. Jason just nodded. "I let her down" he said, "she left me to take care of Elly, and I dropped the ball, had it not been fir you guys...." Nicky's voice trailed, "You're her Dad just as much as I am bro, and now you got a second chance" Jason said. Nicky looked at him "you're fucking right about that" Nicky said "I'll do better this time babe" he said quietly into the air. The two of them then ride off to the house.

They pulled up and the girls came out and froze when they saw Nicky. He looked at Elly who just stared at him, Nicky's heart raced, fearing she'd reject him for not being there. "Hey baby girl" he said quietly with a grin. It seemed like an eternity fir Nicky till Elly suddenly sprinted across the driveway jumping into his arms as the two of them hugged, crying into each other's shoulders. Jason looked at Lolly and whispered "tell me this wasn't worth it" he Saud with a grin

"Hey baby girl." Elly stood silently for a good long while before the shock wore off and reality set in. She darted after him and lept into his arms sobbing. She didn't realize just how much she missed him. She knew atleast one person missed her mom as much as she did. Not that her dad and Lolly didn't but it was just different. She sobbed into his shoulder as he held her there.

"Tell me this wasn't worth it." Jason said as Lolly watched Elly and Nicky's with tears in her brown-grey eyes. "It was..." She breathed and Jack reached over and gave her a wet kiss to her face. She looked down at him. "What?"
"All better?" He asked, she figured he must have mistook her happy tears for sad ones. "Yea. All Better." She said and the curiously looked over at Mireya, who sat watching them. She was never much of a cryer. Much like Lolly wasn't as a little girl but even this got to her. "Rey?" Lolly whispered. Mireya looked up. "Hm?"
"You okay?"
Mireya smiled and nodded, tears glossy up her big doll eyes. She then walked over and hugged her father around the waist, resting her head on his stomach. She really didn't like crying, even happy tears. So she hide her face in Jason's shirt. She was genuinely happy for her sister and glad to see Nicky back but still. She hated tears.

Finally after giving Elly and Nicky a moment alone. They all crowded inside. Mireya practically attached to Jason's hip to the point in order to walk he had to pick her up. As he held her and she played in his hair, twisting it between her fingers, she didn't have a panic attack but it was still soothing to her. Jack, finally let Lolly go, or vice versa and was darting around Beau's living room. He was a fast little bugger. Lolly chasing him around and him giggling like mad and naturally Elly clung to Nicky, having dozed off on his chest. It was a quiet reunion that night


The next day however was opposite. Mireya and Elly were talking Nicky's ear off as Jack, was all over the place. Lolly and Jason sat on the couch just watching. "I feel better about this now. Much better." She said. As much as she hated club life, it was the only way to get Nicky back and make Elly happy again. Not that she wasn't but Lolly could see there was something missing. Elly needed someone to relate to and while, Lolly could relate it wasn't quite the same and she understood that.
Lolly rested her head on Jason's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her watching the girls and Nicky.

"Oh and this one time. We all went to Six Flags!" Mireya said. "We had cotton candy and funnel cake and stuff then Rey puked after we got off of Green Latern." Elly said laughing, probably the most animated she's been in ages. Mireya pouted, "It has alot of twists an turns okay. You were terrified of the Drop of Doom." Mireya counted and Elly just laughed. "I didn't puke." Elly reminded her and Mireya playfully shoved her, Elly pushed back then ran with Mireya laughing at her heels. Nicky saw this as an opportunity to give his ears a break and took a seat on the couch. He mentioned how those girls could talk. "Yep. You'll get use to it." Lolly said with a laugh. She was glad to see him but never really said it as Elly and Rey kinda kidnapped him. "Glad to have you back, Nick." She said with a side hug to his shoulders.

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.

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.

Lolly was so pissed at this point she didn't even know what to do. She let herself believe in him. Let herself believe that he'd be here like he promised but who was she kidding besides herself. Jason wasn't going to change.
"So..." Jason started but Lolly didn't hear a thing. She turned to him. "Where the fuck were you? Huh? Mireya was seizing for fuck sakes and the one person in the world that could calm her down, was elsewhere. You lied to me, you promised me you'd be there for the kids but as soon as the opportunity arises where are you? How is it that the whole fucking club was at the party but you weren't? Fucking explain that, Jason. What kinda of father are you, Jason? You brought them down here, I thought you want to-" "SHUT UP!" He shouted and she stopped, scanning her face for somewhere for her fist to land. "Your 12 year old daughter just asked me if it was true whether or not her Mommy took her clothes off for money!" Lolly looked horrified, her heart was stuck in her throat. How the hell did she find that out? And...being the horrible person you seem to think I am...I opted to lie to our daughter instead of having her think her mother was a bad person! That's the kind of father I think I am!" He said and Lolly was silent. He started for the door "Who told her?" "Who do you think?" He said and was gone. A little while later, She heard him peel off on his bike.

She felt like a such a bitch. Jason just saved her from explaining that to her daughter. Of course she had plans on telling them, but not until they were waay older. All of that and he was keeping his promise to her. She walked into the house, kissed all of her...their sleeping childern before sitting down on the couch. She watched their wedding video. Both of them smiling and laughing, probably the happiest they've ever been. In fear of losing that, she may have inadvertently killed it. It was a good while before she rode over to the clubhouse. The party was still going strong but there were a good percentage of people drunk off their minds. She hoped to God Jason wasn't one of them. It was hard to get him to think about anything but sex or violence when he was drunk. She made her way through the throngs of people and to the President's suite. She opened the door. "Jason, Look I wanted to a-" Lolly's breath caught, she started trembling instantly. "Ja-" Her voice tracked. She felt like when she'd been shot. It was delayed. Time stood still before reality set it. There on the bed...their bed. Lay Jason and on top of him..some Mama, who's name she couldn't remember. Jason stammered something but Lolly bolted out of the room, she ran smack into Nicky. She looked up at him and sobbed hysterically. He knew her anger would come later, as he saw the girl come running out of the President's suite, looking scared for her life. Nicky was worried for her to as Lolly wept into his chest. He offered to take her home. "No." She said. "I need a drink." She said and made her way behind the bar. She just started knocking back bottle after bottle at a dangerous speed. Before long, Lolly was seriously drunk. Driving would have been suicide. Nicky took the bottles from her and drove her off somewhere to cool her head.

Once away from the bar, Nicky pulled over asking Lolly if she was gonna be okay. She turned to him and before he knew what happened, she was out of her seat, straddling him, her lips pressed against his as her tongue slipped into his mouth.

Ae-Jin had just finished interviewing and testing the two girls. They were brilliant and as sweet as can be. The eldest seemed a bit off though. but compared to her sister anyone would be. Ae-Jin was now to interview the parents. She'd already spoke to Mrs. Walker and she needed to speak with her Father and Step-Father. It was formality really, if the childern were good chances are the parents are too. But Protocol was protocol. She rode up to the place where they two father's worked. She stepped out of her Prias and looked around. There were men and women crowding around and alot of commotion. A blonde man rushed out and took one look at her and approached her. He asked if she was the tutor he was supposed to meet with today and she nodded, she was a bit curious but the man seemed to want her far from there. A fight, it seemed. Ae-Jin had been in plenty being a military brat and all. The man introduced himself as Nicky and asked/told they should talk somewhere quieter. Ae-Jin agreed. The less she knew the better. He asked her if she ridden a bike before and she smiled. "Yea but that may be a little inappropriate." She said but couldn't deny the offer was tempting. He was attractive. "How about we take my car." She said and Nicky agreed. He looked like he wanted to scoff at her hybrid. "I'm sorry, I like clean air." She said and he snickered some. Ae-Jin could see he was a little shocked at that. She could read his expression. She got that alot. It was that skilled that made her good at her job as admissions director. She knew the good kids from the bad. They drove off to a little bar a little ways away and figured they could chat there. "Alright." Ae-Jin said getting to business. "You are her Step father, correct?" She asked, getting out her papers. Nicky answered, sorta stammering over the question. "Mr. Rhodes. It's the actions that make a Dad. Not a lawyer not a court." She said and that seemed to strike Nicky. He then answered quickly and Ae-Jin smiled, revealing dimples in her cheeks. "Alright, well as a 'Legal' Guardian there are a few things you need to sign." She said handed papers to Nicky. Her almond shaped eyes flicked up at him wondering if he caught that. No he was evidently not legally her step father as her mother wasn't married to him but she could see he cared for Elly by the way he looked somewhat excited about signing these forms. It meant he was really her father. "This explains your relationship to Elly and what not, Mrs. Walker already signed for you so you are able to pick her up and drop her off at school, take her out as well. You've also been named as caretaker for Mireya as well. So should problems arises you are able to take them both out of school." She explained and Nicky nodded along. They then went into more and more about the school and Elly. "She seems like a great kid. She seemed a little distant though." He explained how shy she was. "No I've seen shy but this seemed...deeper then that. I don't mean to pry but...if you don't mind...when did her mother pass?" Ae Jin asked and Nicky looked down, and after a moment he told her. "Hmm. Maybe she's just down. Well-" Just then Nicky got a call. He answered and shouted some explicitives. Ae-Jin jumped a little. "What's wrong?" He told her he had to go. Elly was in the hopstial. Ae-Jin grabbed up her keys. "Let's go." she said and once they were in the car, she pushed her little hybrid to it's max. The girl could drive.

Lolly had left the girls with the tutor and Jack with Jenni. She heard Jenni's warning and kept it in mind as she made her way to the clubhouse.
Once there, she walked in melancholic but all that changed when Maddie crossed her sights. "You..." Lolly snarled and in a blink she had her by the hair. Maddie shrieked and Lolly dragged her across the clubhouse floor. "You fucked with my daughter, raped a girl using my husband, all to get my attention." Lolly said and threw her into the broad side of the bar. "Well, you've got it." She said. Maddie stammered, trying to pull herself from the floor. "Wait, Lolly, I-" "You told my 12 year old I was a stripper!" Lolly said and sent her booted foot into Maddie's rib cage. Maddie coughed. "And you forced a girl to slept with my husband!" She kicked her again. "She didn't have to!" "You threatened her!" Lolly kicked her again, by this point, A crowd had formed. Everyone knew Lolly's temper was legendary. It was nearly as bad as Jason's. Maddie choked out. "Don't kill me." She heaved. "Why not?" Lolly said, grabbing her by the throat. "You tried to my family against me, Joey. Mireya, Jason...Why should I let you continue to breathe?" Lolly whispered, clenching her hands around her throat. Suddenly, Lolly was grabbed from behind. She turned to see Jason behind her. "Let me go, Jason!" Lolly barked as Remmy grabbed up his wife. "This bitch was the reason why Jenni slept with you! She forced that girl on you! With a knife to her throat!" Lolly barked. (To be cont

As the others went off. Ae-Jin was left with Nicky. Her feelings for him were growing stronger but she'd been holding back. He was a widower basically. It wasn't fair to either of them. "Are you sure you don't wanna go? It sounds fun?" She said. She would have liked to but she had to keep a clear head, school was starting soon. "Nah...clubs aren't my thing...besides, I have to stay back and keep my eye on the naughty babysitter." Nicky said and Ae-Jin just grinned. "You offering me a ride, Nicky?" She said cocking her head some. Mocking the accidental innuendo from a few days earlier. "Well, we can't take the bike out...but if you come over here I can probably find something almost as big for you to ride." He said with a smirk and Ae-Jin laughed. "Well aren't we cheeky?" She said. She knew she should bait him on like this but he was going to same to her. Was he ready for this? Maybe it was just harmless flirting? She thought that until Nicky moved just a bit closer, it almost look like he just shifted to get comfortable. She decided he'd stop her if he weren't ready. She bit the side of her lip before crawling over. She leaned in close, hesitating some but to hide it she looked up at him and whispered. "You better not be lying." Then softly pressed her lips against his. She was nervous at first but it eased when she realised he was kissing her back. His hands rose to her waist as the kiss got more and more intense. Pretty soon, Ae-Jin was on her back as Nicky hovered over her, her arms were around his neck as his hands went to her jeans. This was about to happen but guilt was weighing on her and it got even worse when Nicky stopped to look at her. "We can stop." she said, still breathless from the kiss. "If you aren't ready we can stop."

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?"

Jason got the news about Lolly, she may never be able to walk again. He knew his wife, not being able to walk would probably be something Lolly could eventually adjust to...but no walking meant no dancing either, and that he wasn't sure she'd be able to handle. He walked in to see Lolly, he figured it should be him to give her the news. He sat down beside her, "Jack" she said, Jason took her hand. "Jack's fine, he's in the waiting room right now and he's perfectly healthy" Jason said. "Where's Jason, Nick, I can't feel my legs" she said softly, Jason chuckled a little, "I am Jason baby" he said. Lolly looked at Jason, "I never thought you two looked alike until now" she said with a snicker. "What's with the face?" she asked.

Jason sighed before finally answering, "you have a crushed pelvic bone...there was some damage to the spinal cord as well, and some internal bleeding. Nothing that's going to kill you...but...they say....there's a chance, you might not be able to walk again" Jason said gripping her hand. "Never...wa..." Lolly said, "Hey listen...they said you'd never have a baby and you've had two since then" Jason said. "I can't feel my legs...." she said. Jason couldn't think of anything to say, "Who took Jack?" she asked after a few moments. "Don't worry about that now, he's fine" Jason said, "Whoever took Jack took my legs too" she said bitterly, "Who took Jack?" she asked again. Jason was quiet for a few moments, then looked at her, "It was Maddy....Remmy found her at his place with Jack...he took Jack from her and brought him back" Jason said, he could see the look in her eyes. He then leaned down kissing Lolly's cheek, "she doesn't have 24 hours left" he whispered, looking at her, "I'm ending this bullshit once and for all" he said.

Nicky eventually texted Ae-Jin telling her to bring the girls to the hospital. Nicky saw them as Jason was still in the room with Lolly. They were clearly a bit upset, "Girls...your mom had an accident. A car ran into her. She's awake and there's no danger of her dying or anything like that okay?" he said as the girls just nodded, clearly still upset. "When the doctor says it's okay, you girls can go see her alright?" Nicky said and they both nodded. Both girls clung to Ae-Jin as they sat down.

Jason soon walked out, he said the girls could go see her, Ae-Jin said she'd go with girls and took Jack as Jason talked to Gunner and Nicky "Church meeting in an hour, mandatory, no exceptions, make sure everyone knows" they both nodded and headed out to get the word out. Jason walked over to Remmy "let's go for a smoke" he said as Remmy nodded. Once outside Jason lit up his cigarette as Remmy took one too. "You're in a fucking hell of a spot bro" Jason said as Remmy nodded, "Yeah...I know" he said quietly. "After what happened with Elly...I talked with her, told her she had to get lost...I figured that was better than any alternative" Jason said as Remmy nodded. "But now...my wife might not walk again...and she kidnapped my son...." Remmy nodded, "Yeah..." he said, knowing what Jason was getting at. "I'm bringing it to the club...whatever they vote I'll go along with...but just so you know...I am going to request the Reaper" Jason said, referring to the club's code for a hit. Remmy sighed nodding, "Now...we need a unanimous vote for it, and you are free to vote against it...you're also free to address the club in her defense if you want. And just so you know...whatever my feelings are for her....I understand she's your wife, and if you're going to stand up for her, I won't hold it against you" Jason said as Remmy nodded. "Thanks" he said.

-----------

Remmy went for a ride, he knew the vote was in an hour. He knew he alone could save Maddy from being killed by the club, he knew he could at least get one or two "No" votes to stop the Reaper vote. The question he was wrestling with was whether he wanted to or not. Maddy was different, she wasn't the same person, she had lost it. He knew it was probably over with him and Maddy, but he also knew if he voted in support of Roach's request, it'd score big points with him, showing his loyalty to Roach as the Pres and to the club.

About an hour later the club had assembled at the clubhouse in the Church. "Alright, we're here for an emergency meeting. It's no secret Remmy's Ol'Lady has been at odds with my wife and kids for some reason, with Rey's panic attack, Elly trying to kill herself...and now....she's the one who ran down Lolly. She also took Jack from our SUV and took off. Remmy found Jack, and brought him home. Everyone at this table is free to vote their conscience, but I'm asking for the club to arrange a meeting between Maddy and The Reaper" Jason said. "I'll start by voting 'Yay'" Jason said. It then went to Gunner, "Yay", he said. Samson followed, waiting a few moments before voting "Yay", followed by Pokey who also voted "Yay". Fat Bobby was next in line, he thought things over in his head before voting "Yay", Reed was next "Definitely Yay" he said nodding his head, Sal was the next up, this was a tough situation but he finally nodded as well "Yay" he voted, Roddy was next, he looked at Jason, then at Remmy, then back to Jason as he went over the options. He finally decided, "Yay" he said, it was Russian Phil up next, "I vote Yay" he said in his Russian accent, Lucky Lenny was next "Yay from me" he said, then came Bruno he was a littl uneasy about the whole situation, but he definitely wasn't going to be the one to vote no, besides he figured Remmy would stop the thing anyway. Remmy was next, all eyes were on him, expecting the vote to kill the motion. Remmy sat there for a long while before looking up at Jason, he nodded, "Yeah" he said quietly as there was a small ripple or murmurs through the room. It then came to Nicky, "Your the last one bro" Jason said. Nicky was stuck, he was sure Remmy would have stopped the vote, but now the vote came to him. "I vote...." Nicky said, his mind spinning looking for an alternative, "I vote...Nay" Nicky said looking down.

Jason's gaze could have melted metal. "Well...the motion falls..." he said as he brought down the gavel, "Dismissed" he said as he stared at Nicky he couldn't return the gaze. "What are you doing?" Remmy said. He'd just managed to talk himself into allowing the club to kill his wife only to have Nicky of all people to stop it. Nicky started to open his mouth, "You know how that made me look to everyone just now!" Remmy said angrily, Nicky was about to open his mouth to say something, "Save it! Brother" he said angrily, the last part dripping with sarcasm as he stormed out. "It wasn't the right thing to do" Nicky said, "You tell that to my wife...you know the one who's in a wheel chair!" Jason said standing up, "Jay wait.." Nicky said "No...fuck you!" Jason snapped back at him as he stormed out leaving Nicky sitting at the table by himself.

----------

Remmy got home, he walked into the house and saw Maddy on the floor, on her knees, sobbing. She saw him and asked him why he took their baby away, why he ruined their family. "We're NOT A FAMILY" he shouted at her as she flinched. "God Maddy...what the hell is wrong with you! You've lost it! You're fucking crazy!" he shouted as she sobbed. He was quiet for awhile, then looked at Maddy, "What happened to you...where did the woman I married go?" he asked. She screamed at him, that he forced her to become like this. She screamed that he killed their son RJ. "There IS NO RJ!" Remmy shouted back at her, "You RAN OVER Lolly and kidnapped her son!" Remmy shouted at her. She screamed at Remmy saying she was just trying to give him the son he had wanted. "Yeah, MY son, not somebody elses kid you stole from them!" he shouted back. He turned his back and in that moment, Maddy lunged forward and grabbed his gun before he knew what was happening.

"What are you doing?" he asked as she pointed the gun at him. "You took my son!" she screamed, before firing off four shots as Remmy hit the ground. She knelt down, whispering for him to just rest, and that they'd be a family again soon once she got back from the hospital. She then ran out the door with Remmy's gun
