Lolly got a little kick out of that and giggled bit. God, She missed Jason. She looked over at Mathias as he sat alone. "Uh, Mathias. I think he's an upperclassmen. I mean, He's in my Civics class." She said and looke back at Nicky. "He's doesn't look that old. Have you seen the seniors?" She asked him with a bit of a laugh and her eyes travelled back on Mathias. She noticed he was eating the school lunch. She frowned some. Rich kid eating a school lunch? That's not right. Not only that he was eating alone. "Hey, Mathias. Over here." She said with a wave and Nicky complained. "He's got a single dad too. Look at his lunch. Look familiar?" She said. Mathias came over with his lunch. "I'm not intruding am I?"
Nicky said something to effect if yes. "No. This is Nicky. He's a jerk sometimes. So Just ignore him. I do." She said glaring at him. He made a comment and huff. "Anyway. You got a single dad too huh?"
"That obvious huh?"
He said and Lolly felt bad for him, knowing how he felt. "Here." She said and handed him her sandwhich. "That shit'll kill you." She said and taking a bit of her apple. The talk of Jason pretty much destoryed her appetite so she was content with her apple. Mathias gave her a grin. "Thanks, It looks delicious." He said and looked at Nicky. "Uh. Nice to meet you Nicky. Mathias" He said offering him a hand to shake and a friendly smile. Lolly rolled her eyes. Guys...

Nicky rolled his eyes as Lolly invited Matthias over. He asked if he was intruding "if you gotta ask doesn't that mean you are?" Nicky snapped, but Lolly just ignored his comment. As he sat down Nicky was a little annoyed that Lolly just kinda brushed him off, he also didn't like Matthias, something about the guy just didn't seem right, but reading people wasn't his strong suit. Dammit if Jason was still here he thought, Jason was impossible to bull shit, he just had that thing about him where he knew within seconds if somebody was fucking with him or not....but then again Jason wasn't around. Matthias offered his hand to Nicky, "fuck it, I'm not the one you're flirting with anyway" Nicky muttered and got up, "thanks for the sandwich" Nicky muttered to Lolly as he walked off.

Lolly sighed heavily. "Uh What just happened?" Mathias asked and Lolly shook her head. "Don't worry about it. I'll talk to him. You just eat." She said and quickly caught up with him. "I thought you weren't like Jason but ho ho, here we are? " She said, the last thing was wanted was to lose Nicky as a friend but this alphamale bullshit was not happening. She was just being nice, Yea, He scored some points but she saw a single dad kid, just like her and just like Nicky. "You wanna tell me what the fuck your problem is?" She asked him.

"I'm just an idiot you ignore anyway so what the fuck is it to you" Nicky snapped. Lolly said something sitting down beside him, "I dunno what my problem is...it's him...and I don't know what it is...if Jay was here he could tell me cause he'd have seen it right off the bat, but something just gets me about him" Nicky said. "But whatever, I'm sure riding in Daddy Boy's car is going to be more comfortable than a fucking bike" Nicky said as he stormed off. Nicky wasn't like Jason, he didn't just snap like this, but something was getting to him and it bugged him that he didn't know what the fuck it was".

Lolly looked at him like he was insane. "Nicky, I insult you on a regular basis. You know I'm never serious. Why I are you taking it to heart now?" She said, her voice was softer now. Something was seriously up. That's how she and Nicky were. She'd insult him in various ways and he'd hsve a comeback of his own. They've been doing that for years yet now he was taking her insults serious? What the hell? She sat beside him as he spoke. If he mentions Jason one more time... She was about to talk when he snapped again and took off "Nicky...". She called but he was already gone. "What the hell..."she muttered. She turned to find Mathias walking out. "I didn't know you were taken. I'm so sorry if I caused an agurement with your boyfriend." He said with wide eyes. Lolly sighed. "Nicky is not my boyfriend." She said rolling her eyes. Mathias nodded. "Uh Just a suitor then?" He said and she gave him a look. "Suitor? Can we come back to the 21st century?" She said and he laughed. Mathias gave a grin. "I didn't really know what else to call it." He said and she rolled her eyes and looked back to where Nicky disappeared off to. She figured she'd give him some time to get his shit together. She'll talk to him again later. Hopefully when -or if- he comes to pick her up from Practice.

---

Mathias and Lolly hung out pretty much the rest of the day. He offered to take her home in his Charger but she declined saying she had to go to the gymnasium for gymnastics so he took her there.

He found it a little more difficult to swoon this girl. She wasn't completely gullible. She was on him almost immediately, Most girls would have just swooned at the idea that he knew all that stuff. Not Lolly. She was about ready to kill him. Thankfully, the single parent play worked like a charm. Only problem was that Nicky kid. He knew it was just teen angst that had him all riled up whenever he came around but it was enough to put Lolly on pause. She seemed to hold feelings for him, however weak they may be, they were there. He just have to figure out how to pull them apart.

Nicky was walking down the hallway at the end of the day, when he walked past Matthias who was talking on a cell phone. "Okay Lola, if you really feel that way I can pick you up at the end of your practice...but I thought Nicky was picking you up...oh...well that's between you and him I guess" Matthias said into the phone. Nicky couldn't help but over hear Matthias' conversation and stopped, glaring at the new guy. Matthias turned around, "oh...uh....Nicky....wow this is awkward" he said with an awkward grin. "What the fuck was that all about?" Nicky asked. "I don't want to get in the middle of anything, really...but I don't know, Lola just asked me if I could pick her up...said some harsh things about you if I must say so" he said timidly. "Really...so she just blows me off and still expects me to show up at her birthday party this weekend?" Nicky said his anger rising, "Oh...." Matthias said looking down to the ground. "WHAT?" Nicky snapped at him, "I was sworn to secrecy but...I don't really feel it's fair to you, so just don't tell Lola I told you this...but she told me you were the last person she wanted to see at the party, something about you could go join your idiot friend and his Uncle Louie?" Matthias said with an awkward look on his face. Nicky was seeing red, "Fuck her then" Nicky said as he stormed out of the school. Matthias grinned as he flipped his cell phone closed "fucking moron biker" he said chuckling to himself.

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

Nicky was furious, he stormed into the clubhouse slamming the door. He grabbed a phone and started dialing, he had to vent to somebody and fuck an ocean wasn't going to stop him. "Give me Jason" Nicky said into the phone, a minute later Jason answered the phone "What's up?". "Get your fucking blonde ass back here, I don't give a fuck about any fucked up issues you got, we got shit going on here, and I fucking can't rely on fucking Merc man" Nicky snapped into the phone. "Wow you can sound like a bitch across an entire ocean" Jason said chuckling, "Okay dammit...what's the fucking issue that got you this riled up?" Jason asked. "That fucker Matthias!" he snapped. Jason frowned "Who???", "this guy...some rich guy...some fucking kid, he's in Lolly's class at school and she's all over him cause he knew her middle name and that her favorite color was green" Jason cut him off, "wait, how the hell did this kid know her middle name? Nobody other than me, Ria, Beau and my mom know it...hell I doubt my dad even knows it", Nicky was fuming "see this is why I need you here, I don't know...this guy just doesn't sit well with me. I dunno, Lolly just said he researched, like he paid off the school secretary" Nicky said venting further, "that still doesn't make sense...school records only use the first initial of the middle name" Jason said pondering this info, "SEE...I don't even know that shit...why the fuck are you out there instead of here man...you're the brains of this operation man" Nicky said, Jason laughed "If I'm the brains we're all fucked" he said laughing. "Listen...I dunno how this rich kid found that out, but hell it's Lolly...she'll spit this guy out in a few days" Jason said in passing. "And then Lolly's giving me shit too, acting all bitchy and stuff....told me I should go join my idiot friend and his Uncle Louie" Nicky said still venting, but across the pond a red flag went up with Jason. "Wait what...she mentioned Uncle Louie?" Jason said. "Yeah, cause you're in Ireland and all" Nicky said. "But Lolly doesn't know him as Uncle Louie....she only knows him as Liam, Louie was the nickname my dad had for him in the war" Jason said thinking more to himself out loud. "Yeah well our dads were all in the same unit" Nicky said confused of the issue, "No, no, no, my dad was on leave when he met Louie...Beau and your dad weren't around, they only met him when he got patched in." Jason was quiet running this over in his head, "okay so jump on a plane, fly over here and sort this shit out bro" Nicky said. Jason chuckled, "sorry bro, I'm actually loving it out here right now...plus things with me and Ria are really good...whatever, this...rich kid...what did you call him, Matthias? Whatever dude...Lolly ain't into the rich kid thing, he'll piss her off, she'll kill him and it'll be all good...just lay back and chill" Jason said trying to reassure his friend. "Whatever man....Lolly's your obsession not mine, she doesn't want me around fuck it then.....and fuck you if you like Ireland better than here" Nicky said snapping, slamming the phone.

Jason just shrugged..."ohhh and I'm missing all that drama" Jason said laughing as he hung up the phone. He then checked his watch, it was time to go pick up Ria from the school, he headed out of the clubhouse and hopped onto his bike taking off.

Lolly spent the next half an hour waiting on Nicky at the gym. She knew he was upset but she had no idea he was this pissed. She started walking home when Mathias pulled up in his Charger. "Lola?" He asked, slowing down a bit. "How many times do I have to tell you, it's Lolly, Not Lola. Okay?" She said and Mathias chuckled. "I'm sorry. Lolly. Why are walking?" He asked. She huffed. "Cause. I am. You know, I'm really beginning to think your stalking me." She said and he chuckled again. "Actually I was just heading home. Fate maybe?" He said and she rolled her eyes "I could give you a ride home?" He said and she decided her legs needed a rest. That balance beam was a bitch. "Alright sure." She said and climbed in.
It was a silent most of the ride. "You know, For someone who's about to turn 16 this weekend you seem seriously bummed." He said and she looked over at him. "Yea well, My birthdays haven't really been highlight of my life." She said. Her best friends were gone away, her dad's been wrapped up in something, he hadn't even really acknowledged her existence. Although that much wasn't new. But now, Nicky wouldn't talk to her. "Why? If you don't mind?" He asked and she looked over at him then back out the window. "My Dad's busy with work. You know how it is." She said. He nodded. "Yea. My dad once when I was ten, He'd told me he'd take me to the Zoo."Mathias said. Lolly looked over at him as he drove. "I was excited all week and finally it was the day. Then he turned around and hopped on a flight to Beijing. He'd completely forgettpn about it." He said and had a far off look for a moment. "Oh, sorry..." Lolly looked at him with a half grin. "It's cool. I know the feeling." She said. Se remember how hurt she was when she got all dressed up snd to find her dad rushing off. If it weren't for Nickie and Ria, Jason too but mostly the girls, she would spent her birthday at home. If her dad could manage to get both Ria and Jason home for her birthday...he'd be completely forgiven for everything. He pulled up to her house and got out. He opened the car door and helped her out. Had that been Nicky or Jason. They would have rushed her, joking but still. "Thanks." She said and he nodded. He walked her to the porch. "Hey, Lolly. I hope you have better birthday this year." He said and she smiled. "Well, Richie Rich, You better bring a good gift." She said with a wink. Mathias laughed. "Something green?" He said and Lolly giggled. "You got it." She said and hurried up the steps.
Mathias watched her with a half grin. If she turns around, he knew he had her. When she did turn to him, she made her way back down the steps and gave him a peck on the cheek. With a giggle she made her way inside. He chuckled. Girls. He headed back to his Charger. He grabbed his phone.
"Yea. It's Mathias...Well Where is he?" He said over the phone. He waited impatiently. "Yea. It shouldn't be long. Do you have a buyer? Well what the hell...Ugh. Well how much? Fuck no. I will do what I very well please. If I wanna take my fucking time I will Aside from the fact that you were the one that wanted this one specifically!" He barked at the phone. "You knew this would be tough. That's why you wanted this one. You said, you knew people that wanted a girl they wanted to break. Well,You didn't think they'd be harder to lure...Yes. That is why you chose me regardless of that it's still tough...Just give me a few days. She'll be ready." He said and hung up, he pulled down the street. Somehow he'd have figure out how to get her dad to fuck again as well.

---

Ria waved to her friends as she left school. She saw Jason and greeted him with a kiss. "Hey." She said and noticed he seemed to have something on his mind. It was actually that she had something on her mind as well. Lolly's birthday was coming up. She was still mad at her but it was going away slowly but surely. She actually hoped her dad wouldn't miss her 16th. Lolly might really lose it. She shook away the thought. "Penny for your thoughts?" She asked him before climbing on his bike. She sat side saddle as her skirt was not wind friendly.

He looked at Ria for a moment, "Lolly told Nicky he was an idiot and should go join his idiot friend and his Uncle Louie" Jason said, without any warning catching Ria a little off guard. She looked a little confused and mentioned that Lolly must still be upset. "That's not the point...she's never met Louie...and until the plane, I never referred to him to other people as Louie...it was always Liam." Jason said...he didn't know why but this was bugging him, Lolly had said something that didn't seem to make sense and that bugged Jason, cause he knew Lolly better than anyone. "And, some rich kid who's flirting with her at school knew her middle name....now where the fuck would some newbie ever find that info?" Jason asked looking at Ria. Jason could tell that Ria's mind was starting to work now too. "Ya think you can hack the school's computers from Dublin?" Jason asked as he fired up the bike...something wasn't adding up and it was starting to piss him off.

Ria nodded. "Pfft, Please..." She said with a roll of her eyes. Of course she could. Her mind got to thinking.
Lolly calling Nicky an idiot wasn't news. Lolly routinely insults Nicky so that didn't bug her but the fact that she said idiot friend? That doesn't sound like Lolly in the least. She was probably worked up about her birthday. It was never really a great day for her but still.
They rode in silence and went they to go to her grandmother's house. She ran right up to her room. It was an old house so the IMac and the big montiers looked completely out place in her room. She got on her computer and got to hacking the system. It so easy she almost laughed. She could hack this thing in her sleep. "It's a wonder people just don't change their grades and never go to school." She said and shook her head. "Uh, What's the guy's name?" Jason told her and she cached the name through the schools records. "Huh, That's weird?" She said, scrolling. Jason looked at her. "There is no Mathias in the school. Um. Maybe he goes by another name?" She asked him and Jason said that was all he had. Ria sat back. This didn't feel right. She decided then when cached Lolly's middle name. She typed it in and found nothing. "Okay...so how did you say the guy get her middle name?" She asked him and he explained that he got it from the school secretary. "Her middle name isn't even in the system and Lolly's not chummy with any authoritive figures so that's totally crap." She said. This really didn't sit right " Maybe the guy was just some stalker. Lolly will just Leonidas his ass and kick him down a hole." She said with a bit of a laugh. She was worried about Lolly. This was unlike her to miss something like this...

Jason sat in Ria's room watching her work, this too was bugging him, Lolly was extremely protective about her middle name so how the hell did some guy out of nowhere find it out...and how messed up was she that it didn't set off alarm bells in her head. "I don't like this guy already and i haven't met him yet" Jason said. It seemed evident that they were both very quickly getting over their anger towards Lolly. Jason grabbed his cell phone and dialed Lolly's number, it rang then a male answered the phone, "hello Lolly's phone" the voice said, it wasn't Nicky or Beau, and Jason had a pretty good idea who it was. "Hey who's this?" Jason asked. He was using a phone Louie had given him so his name wouldn't have popped up on her caller ID. "I'm Matthias, a friend of Lolly's, she's upstairs getting ready right now can I take a message for her" he asked. Jason motioned for Ria to flip on her microphone, "umm, do you know how long she'll be?" he asked, then placed the phone next to the microphone, "I have no clue, we're just going out for a bite to eat so it could be a few minutes" he said on the other end, meanwhile Ria's computer was recording his voice. "May I ask who's calling so I can tell her when she comes down" he asked, "nah it's not that important, I'll catch her at school" Jason said as he hung up.

He then looked at Ria, "think you can use that to find out who the hell this fucking idiot is?" Jason asked, Ria grinned, she had already started working on it before Jason opened his mouth. Dam they were a pretty scary team Jason thought to himself as he watched Ria work.

----------

Nicky was sitting at home, pissed off. It was Lolly's birthday, he wanted to be there, he wanted to be there for her but she made it clear she had no desire to have anything to do with him. It hurt a lot, first Jason was gone, and Ria...even though they were simply just friends....Merc was still around but all his good friends were dropping one by one, he hated it and what made it worse was that there didn't seem to be anything he could do to change things.

Mathias looked at Lolly's phone. This would be a problematic. That Nicky kid was already on his nerves though it didn't take much to get him away. The last thing that he needed was some newcomer fucking things up. He'd just deleted the text from he sent from her phone to her father telling him not to worry about showing up and that she going out with friends so hopefully they'd be gone before he returned home if only the girl would hurry and get dressed..."Lolly. I'm sure you don't the restaurant to close before we get there." He called to her. "Oh you shut up, I'm coming." She said coming down a in short emerald dress that complaiment her shape beautifully. Her hair was pinned up on one side. "Worth the wait?" She said with a smile. He had no romantic feelings for the girl but damn she looked good. Green really was her color. "Most certainly." He said with a handsome grin. "I didn't over do I?" She asked as she walked up to him. He shook his head. "Like I said. Anything worth doing. Is worth overdoing." He said with a laugh. She shoved him some. "Well, I can't walk around LA with Mr. Gucci, in just anything Now Can I?" She said with a spin and he laughed. "Well, I suppose not." he said he slipped an arm around her shoulder and they headed out.

---

Ria had managed to record the conversation but that wasn't her plan. She'd used the microphone to hack into the phone's camera. It was amazing what a little copper wire could do with hook into the proper port. She'd managed to see get an image from Lolly's phone. "Meet Mathias." She said as the image slowly appeared on her computer. Ria had to admit, the guy was cute. For a rich kid. "Wait, Why did he have her phone? Touching Lolly's phone is like...kicking your bike. Suicide." She said and Jason looked at her. Lolly was messed up when they left but this is bad. Lolly's usual guard wasn't up and now she was letting stupid things happen. Ria grew more worried. "Okay. So I'm actually worried Jason. This is not like Lolly at all. Hell, you know her better then I do so I know you feel it too." she said, as it was written all over her face. "Maybe I'm over reacting but...this doesn't feel right." She said looking at the image of this Mathias guy. She turned the screen. "What are you up to?"

---

Beau gotten a text from Lolly saying she was going out with friends. He frowned. This was a Lolly test. She does things that. Just to see where a person's head was at. If he didn't respond properly, she might snap out.
He looked over at Jimmy and Deacon. This Mafia business was worrying him too but he had to deal with that later. "Gimme a minute.'" He told them and he called her. When it went straight to voicemail, he sighed. She was pissed and completely avoiding him now. He didn't mean to be late. "Hey Jimmy call Nicky for me will ya? Lolly's avoiding me." He said figuring she was with him so maybe he could advocate for him. It was a shame really, a man that could face down a field of soliders could not face down his 15...16 year old daughter.

---

Lolly sat in Mathias' Charger as they drove down toward the strip. It was gorgeous at sundown. Her birthday didn't suck as much as she thought it would. She was still hurt that Nicky didn't call her or even come by. Her Father was an entirely different level of pissed and Jason and Ria. She almost cried at the realization that they really hated her. They didn't even call. That's what really took her the longest in the bathroom.She was ready for almost an hour before Mathias got there but when that thought crossed her mind, it hit her like a ton of bricks and now Nicky was upset with her too. She wasn't even sure why. "Hey, Birthday girl. Cheer up" He said with a flick of her chin. She giggled. "I'm alright." She said with a smile, though she was actively avoiding her father's calls.

Nicky walked into the clubhouse, he was still angry. Beau asked him where Lolly was, "hell if I know, she told me to fuck off" Nicky said as they men looked a little confused. Nicky was almost to the garage when he caught a glimpse of a picture on the table between the men. "What the hell? Why do you have this asshole's picture?" Nicky asked picking up a picture of Matthias. Jimmy looked at his son, "you know who that is?" Jimmy asked. "Yeah, it's that rich prick Matthias who's new to school, he's the one Lolly's gone all crazy over...he'd know where Lolly is, she'd rather hang out with him than me." Jimmy and Deacon both looked at each other and then at Beau, Beau asked "Who the hell did you say this was Jimmy?" his voice raising, Jimmy had a hard look on his face, "this guy handles all their trafficking...kidnapping girls and selling them as prostitutes overseas" Jimmy said in a low tone. "Fucking hell I gotta go find them" Nicky said bolting from the room. "Jimmy get the word out, anyone sees this guy they take him down on sight no questions asked...we'll deal with the cop fallout later" Deacon said, Jimmy grabbed his phone and started calling all the members. Deacon looked at Beau, "time to ride brother" he said as he followed Beau out the door.

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

"You can hack the FBI right?" Jason asked Ria, she turned and gave him an evil grin, "run that face through their database and see what we come up with". Ria smiled and Jason watched as she went to work, after a few minutes the search came across a hit. "Matthias Daniels...aka...Matthias Markov, Russian Mafia....son of a bitch" Jason said reading the file, then his eyes came across the words "human trafficking" and "prostitution". "Fucking hell Lolly how'd you miss this guy" Jason muttered to himself. Jason grabbed his phone again and dialed Lolly's number

Ria's eyes had started to water as the idea of Lolly being one of those girls. She closed her eyes praying Lolly would answer the phone. Why couldn't she see this? The Lolly she knew would have turn this guy down from the get go.

---

Beau was still red the moment Jimmy spoke. Beau nodded as Deacon told him it was time to ride. They climbed on their bikes and took off. He blamed himself for this. He screwed up with her. He practically forced her into the arms of this guy because work held his focus. Not only that, She didn't see this. He did not raise her like that. That was one thing he knew he did right. She could read people better then he could sometimes. Which was saying alot. How the hell did She miss this. 'Be Alright Babygirl...' He thought as they rode out.

---

After a nice dinner, Lolly felt oddly tired. She couldn't really think straight but she didn't want to ruin this night. Though her head was swimming. "Lolly? Are you alright?" He asked as she climbed in the car. "Yea....I'm...I'm alright." She said frowning a bit. She felt like she was drunk though she knew she wasn't. She had a soda at dinner so why did she feel this way. As Mathias paid the valet she felt her phone buzz and she saw that it was Jason. She answered so quickly she almost dropped the phone. "Jason!" She said but her words were slurred servely. "You ca-cal..." She stopped confused suddenly. She couldn't remember where she was or what she was doing. She noticed she was on the phone. "Hello? Who's...Thisss.."She said and she heard Jason's voice but she couldn't really understand what he said. "Wait...Whatjuysay?" She said and felt the phone removed from her hand. "Hey...Gimme that back..." She said and all of the colors were moving strangely. "Math...ias? I don't feel so...." She said and the world went black.

---

Mathias watched as the effects of the drug finally hit her. It took her long enough. " Resilient little creature..." He said and heard a very angry boy over the phone. He looked at it and laughed some and hung up. Whoever that was could bark and scream all they wanted. He pulled off down the street. Lolly was on her way to a buyer in Perisa. She was gonna make some fat fuck very happy. He drove down the street toward a private airstrip. After a few moment, He and Loly were on there way to Europe.

"Fuck!" Jason yelled as he threw his phone against the wall, shattering it. He then looked at Ria, "you know how weapons systems work right?" Jason asked her, she just nodded confused. "You're the targeting system...." he said as a dark look crossed his face, "find me where this guy is going..." he said, the anger rising inside as he spoke. Ria asked almost nervously what happened next, Jason grinned "You're the targeting system baby.....I'm the warhead...just point me in the right direction" he said, he saw an almost matching dark look on Ria's face as her fingers flew over her keyboard. It took Ria a little while, she was uncovering all sorts of information Jason never could have imagined, phone logs, you name it, he made a note to never piss off Ria. Finally her face lit up, "What is it?" Jason asked, he looked at the screen. It was the name of some oil tycoon from the middle east in Persia, he was the buyer "well fuck that's a bit of a drive from here" Jason said, then he saw Ria scroll down, "you've gotta be fucking kidding me" he said grinning, it was a date and time for a meeting, at a private air strip, just outside of Dublin, Ireland. "What a fucking idiot" Jason said laughing, "guess we better make sure the fucking welcoming crew is there" he kissed Ria, "thanks baby...time for the warhead to do it's part" he said as he ran out the door.

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

Jason flew to the clubhouse, once inside he found Louie, "Hey Louie listen up we got a major problem", Louie turned to him putting down his beer "what can I do ya for Laddy?" Louie asked, "Beau's daughter Lolly got kidnapped by some mafia asshole...he's bad news, the good news is he's bringing her here to Dublin to meet some buyer", Louie nodded with a dark grin "KOA brother...family is family...and nobody fucks with my family" Louie said, he rounded up the guys in the clubhouse, "take these boys with ya, I'll get a hold of the rest of the boys...we'll make sure we make these boys feel real welcome here in Ireland" Louie said. Within minutes Jason and the members from the clubhouse were tearing down the street with one of the members leading the way to the airstrip. Jason looked down, he had the .357 Magnum with him that Beau had given him...and he was actually going to be able to use it for what he had intended.

Mathias on the plane sitting comfortably they landed in Ireland. He thought it was funny that Lolly's friends where somewhere here and yet hadn't the slightest idea she was there. He looked over at the girl as she moved. He frowned. He'd thankfully ziptied her wrists but still, the ruffie wore off much more quickly then alot of the girls. She looked around looking a bit green.

---

"Mathias? Wh-" She looked around, assessing the suitation. She was on a private jet. It was nice, it had like seven seats and wide opened space. She didn't know where she was but she knew a few things, She felt nauseous, her wrists were zip-tied which meant she was kidnapped and Mathias was sitting across from her. "Oh fuck..." She said and Mathias laugh. "Let me answer a few questions before you ask them. One. Did I kidnap you? yes you've been kidnapped." He said. "Two, Why are you doing this?"
"Correction asshole." Lolly said sitting up and crossing her legs as if this was a casual situation. "Those neither were my next questions." She said. "I have but one question for you." She said and he laughed. "What's that?"
"Do you know who the fuck you're dealing with?" She said.
Mathias laughed. "How do yoy think we got here?!" He said. Lolly didn't flinch. "Okay. So You know, Who's daughter I am. You must have a deathwish." She said and Mathias shook his head. "That would scare me, if we weren't on the otherside of the planet." He said with a laugh. Lolly kept her face even but that threw her. Okay. So how the fuck was she going to get herself out of this one? She'd been buying timeto get out of the zipties. It was stupid to tie a gymnast's hands behind her back. Especially a Level 9. She'd just let the bastard talk until the plane landed.
"You know, Lola. You were difficult. Most girls...I had them at hello but you...You were wary of me from the start. It didn't help that you had that Nicky brat always hovering around." He said. She cracked a grin. She just keeps picking the wrong guy. Once she gets out of this. She was gonna pay Nicky back in full. "But then again, he wasn't too bright though. You don't go for the dumb ones." He said. "Oh yes because you know me so well." She said, he was actually pissing her off. "I do actually. Don't you get it. The Nicky kid, knew nothing about you and that's why you clung to me. I spot girls like you from a mile away." He said and stood up. "You were looking for someone who knew you and knew you well. A Selfish notion by the way." He said and Lolly's nostrils flared. He was right on that. She'd been looking for someone to take the place and Ria and Jason. Two people he knew her through and through. Jason knew her better then she did sometimes. It was scary. She wanted that bad. She didn't even realize that until now. "I'm gonna kill you." She said and Mathias laughed. "See I like you. I do. You've got some spunk. " He said. "Hell. If I could I'd buy you myself." He said and Lolly narrowed her eyes. "What?" "Oh right. You've been sold. You're on your way to Persia." He said. She could tell he'd been expecting tears but didn't get any of them. "Ah fuck..." She huffed. She had to think fast. It was then the plane landed. "Well, Of course once I get my money." he said and looked at her dress. "Happy Sweet 16." He said and she growled. "I'm seriously gonna fucking kill you." She said and he huffed, walking toward her. "Yea. Whatever, Let's go." He said and grabbed her by the arm. He yanked her up out the chair and forced her out the door. Lolly felt a chill in the air. "Persia huh. It's fucking cold even for Persia." She said. "Where in Ireland, Smart ass." He said as he walked her toward a car waiting for them. He said something in Russian to the driver and his partner. She looked around. Running now would be stupid. She was already out of the zip tie so that wasn't it but she had no where to run. She had to be patient wait until they got somewhere populated. Just as he forced her in the car, she heard the ever familiar sound of a Fatboy. She poked her head out the car, revealing she was free from her zip tie. She saw in the distant a blonde boy. "Jason..."She breathed but Mathias shoved her in the car. She decided it was fight time. She kicked Mathias hard in the chest where her heels, knocking him to the ground. She climbed out of the car and took off toward the bikes unfortunately, Mathais was fast. He grabbed her and she felt a sharp pain in her neck as Mathias injected her with something with blue. Her body went limp as he threw her over his shoulder and made his way back to the car. She saw the bikes and they began to morph and warp in her vision. She reached limply."Jas...son." She called, her words slurred again as she was thrown in the car. She heard Mathias scream go and the car peeled off.

Both Jason and Ria were sitting in the room when Lolly's eyes fluttered open, Ria had been holding Lolly's hand the entire time, she was scanning the room as Jason sat down beside her bed opposite of Ria. "Happy birthday" Jason said with a grin and gave her a kiss on the cheek, Lolly mumbled something, still coming off the affects of the drug Matthias had given her. "Shhh, shutup will you" he said with a grin laughing, Ria was stroking her hair and said something about how she was safe and not to worry. "You're at the clubhouse" Jason said with a smile, "and you're dad is on his way over too, should be landing in a few hours." He could see the confused look on her face, "don't worry...you'll hear the whole story yet...but just relax" Jason looked at his watch, "I gotta go with Louie, I'll be back" he whispered to Ria and gave her a kiss and walked out of the room leaving Lolly and Ria alone.

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

"Ya sure you're ready for this Laddy, me and the boys can handle it if ya want" Louie said to him as he walked into the main room of the clubhouse, "oh fuck yeah, somebody's gotta to fucking pay for this" Jason said with a dark look on his face, Louie slapped him on the back "like father like son" he said laughing as Jason, Louie, and a couple other members walked into the garage and into a side storage room in the shop. There were three guys tied up in chairs, Matthias, some fat middle eastern guy, and another Russian who had been driving the vehicle. Matthias looked at Jason, "so is this where you yell at me for trying to hurt your friend, and then torture me until you're anger is satisfied" Matthias said with a smirk, "don't worry pretty boy....i'm not the one who's going to kill you" Jason said with a grin. He walked over to the Russian driver, "now you better fucking speak English, cause we don't have a Russian translator around here...so if all you got is Russian we're going to kill you" Jason said looking at the guy. "I...speak....english....yes" the man said. "Good, now who the fuck are you working for!" Jason snapped at him, the main looked at Matthias who glared at him, "I....I am driver...that is all" he said in a heavy Russian accent. Jason pulled out his gun, "well then I guess you're useless" he said aiming the gun at the driver who suddenly had a change of heart. "Okay...okay...I work for Russian Mafia" he said quickly, Jason lowered his gun. "Now how the fuck did you and your buddy over there find out all that info on the girl...there's no way you guys knew that on your own" Jason said, the man looked over at Matthias, Jason punched him in the face "I'm the one who's going to kill you if you don't talk asshole! So look at me and tell me how you fucking knew!" Jason snapped. "Informant...in Los Angeles...the club" the man said. Jason stood back, there was a mole in the club back home? He knew that this guy probably wouldn't know who it was, and judging by Matthias there was no way he was going to spill that information. But that was another issue, the club had ways of rooting out moles and snitches. "I told you information...I can go?" the Russian asked. "Yeah...you can go....to hell" Jason said as he raised the gun and fired a shot into the guy's head. It was the first time Jason had killed somebody, and oddly enough it was way easier than he thought it would have been, but maybe his anger helped.

He then walked over to the Persian, the guy looked like he was about the piss himself. "Now you're the asshole who was going to buy my friend so you could rape her repeatedly over and over for as long as you wanted to keep her around, am I right?" Jason asked, the guy looked too scared to speak. Jason pulled a knife from his belt, he then came down hard with the knife in the guy's crotch as he screamed, Jason then slammed the knife 5 or 6 times into the man's stomach before pulling it out as blood flowed from the wounds. "Let him bleed out" Jason said coldly as they turned to leave the room, Matthias spoke up "so what...you're just going to leave me all by myself now" Matthias asked almost taunting, Jason turned around "nah...just waiting...her dad lands in a couple hours" he said laughing as they walked out of the room, Jason saw for the first time a slight look of fear on the guy's face.

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

A few hours later Deke and Beau had been picked up at the airport and were at the clubhouse, Deke gave his son a hug, and then Beau nearly crushed him with a hug thanking him. "Beau, if you start crying it's going to ruin that whole intimidation thing you got going" Jason said with a grin as Beau let him guy and punched his arm. "Alright Lads, we got old friends all together again, before we get to business we gotta drink!" Louie said. Beau had asked about Lolly and they told him she was still sleeping, he then said he wanted to take care of business first, so they pointed him in the direction of the garage.

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

Awhile later, Louie, Deacon, Jason, and some of the other members were all sitting around as Louie was in the middle of one of his classic story telling sessions. Beau came walking out of the garage, there was blood all over his shirt and they all knew it wasn't his own. Nobody said anything, Deacon just held up a beer for Beau "so you sort it all out?" Deke said with a grin, Beau just nodded. As he came to the group, Lolly and Ria walked out from the room, Lolly looked more with it, but still a little dazed. They watched as Beau ran over grabbing her, they whispered something to each other, although it wasn't audible to the others. Ria sat down on Jason's lap and shortly after Beau and Lolly joined them.

After a little while, and another story by Louie, Lolly asked what all had happened after she blacked out. Louie laughed out loud "well lassie ya done missed one helluva show...Deke your boy is a tougher son of a bitch than you are" he said laughing. "So there we all are, riding to the air strip. We see the fancy plane and the car start taking off, well before anything can happen the laddy there takes off, I dam well thought the boy was going to run right into the dam thing..." Louie said as he went into another story. "So he takes off after the car like a fucking bat outta hell ya know? Well he goes right at the damn thing and the driver swerves to try and miss him, and crashes right into this fucking steel transport crate, fucking hell. Well there's no way I'm letting the Prince almighty here get into it all by himself, so me and the boys get there...then these lads come out of the plane, they got their guns out and the shit's hitting the fan. The lad doesn't even fucking flinch, just walks right up the driver's door yanking him out of the car and laying one of most hellacious beatings the poor bastard's ever had in his ever loving natural life I tell ya. Well me and the boys thin out the spiffy lads off the plane...it was a shame really to mess up their suits and all like that, but fucking hell who cares now right? Then fancy pants gets out of the car as the lad is kicking the ever loving hell out of the poor bastard on the ground, he comes up behind him and stabs him right in the fucking back...and I thought I was fucking done...I'd just gone and got the heir apparent fucking killed...but then the fucking bastard he is, turns around, knife still in his fucking back, and proceeds to kick the living hell out of fancy pants..with the fucking knife still in his back...are you fucking kidding me with that? I don't know what the hell ya feed the boy but Deke, but fucking hell that ain't even natural. So while the lad...with the fucking knife in his back...is kicking the hell out of fancy pants on the ground, the fat rag head decides he's going to make a run for it...well have you seen the guy, he hasn't missed a fucking meal since Christ died...for crying out loud where the hell did he think he was gonna run to? So we grabbed him, fancy pants and the driver and brought em all back here....then, after all the fucking bastards all picked up...then the lad turns around and says 'oh fuck I got a knife in my back'...are you fucking kidding me?" Louie looked over at Jason "don't you ever fucking get pissed off at me lad, that's all I gotta say" Louie said laughing as he gave Jason a slap on the shoulder.

Deacon enjoyed the story...he enjoyed listening to all Louie's stories, Louie could tell you what he had for breakfast that morning and make it sound like the most entertaining thing you ever heard. But hearing how Jason handled himself, and the fact that it was him and Ria who found out where Lolly was, not him, not Beau or anyone else, Deke was feeling more confident now about his son taking over for him one day.

Lolly woke up feeling completely nauseous. She assessed the situation quickly only to find Ria and Jason on each side of her. Jason wished her happy birthday and kissed her on the cheek. Sh wasn't even sure it really happened. "You guys...How you...Mathias..." She managed and Ria gripped her hand. "You're safe, Don't worry." She said stroking her best friends hair. It was then Jason told her she was at the clubhouse. She was hardly lucid but she was sure she didn't recognize this one. She was still very tired and she really wanted her dad. As if reading her thoughts the way only Jason could he said, he was on his way. She managed a small nod. Ria stroked her hair. "It's always a party with you, Isn't it?" she said with a sad smile. Lolly could really respond save for a small smile as Jason and Ria dissappeared from her line of sight.

---

Beau and the others landed and the man nearly ran off the plane. They rode out to the clubhouse and he saw Jason and nearly broke his back with a bear hug. Something he'd been doing since he and Lolly were small. 'This kid...' he thought as Jason made a joke about him crying. He popped the knucklehead in the arm.
"Where's Lolly?" He asked, His face soften some. Jason told him she was stilling sleeping and Beau sighed. He really needed to see her. "Alright. Where's the fucker that kidnapped my daughter." He asked. Only Beau could go from hugs to seeing red on the drop of a hat. They pointed him the direction of the garage.

He walked in to see two very dead men. One with a bullet in his head and then other...Well He was gonna take Jason out for a beer on that one. "You must be Mathias?" He said. "You're Lola's-" He didn't finish the statement as Beau gave him a right hook to the jaw. Knocking him to the floor. "Do not speak her name. Understand?" He said and Mathias jaw already hung like a broken door off it's hinges. He grabbed the pretty boy and set him striaght up. "How many times did she say she was gonna kill you?" He asked. Mathias didn't bother talking and Beau knew he couldn't. He gave him a look that made his blood run cold. One that he'd seen just a few hours before only it was much more intimidating on the 300lb 7'2 black man, the 5'4 petitie girl. "How many?" "Tw..." Mathias started to choke. "Twice. Alright then. So You'll die twice then." He said simply. It was scary how calm Beau was which usually meant the exact opposite. The calmer he appeared, the angrier he was.
Mathias looked at him as Beau grabbed a defib unit and a thin needle. He grabbed Mathias' hand and made sure it was tied down tight. He hooked him up to an Heart Montior then fiddled with the needle in his hand. "Did you know that most sensitive nerves in the human body are the hands? It makes sense. It's your sense of touch." He said and grabbed his hand. Mathias looked genuinely afriad then. "You put these hands of yours, on my daughter." He said, his,voice a low rumble and slipped the just the tip of the needle into the tip his middle finger, hitting the nerve, sending Mathias into shock almost immediately. After convulsing violently. His heart stopped. "Ah ah ah. You're gonna die twice. My daughter is a woman of her word." He said and grabbed the defib unit. He charged it and shocked Mathias back to the land of the living. "Welcome back. How was Hell?" He said as the mere sight of Beau nearly killed him again. "Now. Before I kill you one more time. I want you to apologize to her. I want a sincere heart felt apology for ruining my babygirl's sweet 16." He said and grabbed his cellphone. He turned it over and filmed it. Mathias looked up at camera. "Say it." He said and Mathias was drooling blood. "I...mm...S-So...ee." He said meekly. Beau closed the phone and walked over to Mathias. He then with a simple smack of the needle, the 7 inch needle disappeared into Mathias' hand. His heart montier went nuts as he convulsed violently again before dying.
Beau was content after that and went to see if Lolly had awakened. Deke greeted him with a beer and asked him if he was all sorted out. Beau nodded.
It was then that Lolly and Ria walked in. Lolly was still out of it and couldn't really walk but she was never one to sit still for too long. With her arm around Ria, she came out of the room. Lolly's eyes' fell on her father and suddenly, she bolted toward him. He might her halfway and scooped up his little girl. She looked so small in his arms. "I'm so sorry, Daddy." She said in his neck. "You hush up." He said hugging her back. "I was so mean to you...I-" Beau squeezed her tight. "Don't worry about it. I've got gift for you but I'll show you later alright" He said and she nodded.

---

After a bit, Lolly sat in her father's lap as Laim got to explaining how everything went down. She missed half of it due to the fact that his,accent was throwing her off, the drugs were still in her system, and Her Father, Ria and Jason were there. There was one face she didn't see.

After the crowd kinda dispersed, Lolly and Beau went off somewhere, needing some father/daughter time after everything that had happened. Jason and Ria ended up outside the clubhouse, they walked down near the river, walking along the wall running along side the river, Jason was holding Ria's hand as he looked at her "you know me and you make a pretty good team" he said with a grin as Ria responded with a comment of her own. He was quiet a little bit then spoke again, "my dad was asking if I was going to come back home to Los Angeles.." he said looking at Ria, "I didn't give him an answer yet. I mean, I'm thinking about it, but I also know it's only a matter of time before my mom flies out here and drags me home" he said laughing. "But...if you were thinking of sticking around here....I mean....I'd have to stay and all cause how else would you get to school right?" he said with a grin on his face.

Ria looked at Jason. She wasn't sure if she wanted to stay or not. She loved it here. Probably because she had Jason. LA was nothing but drama as poor Lolly found out and it scared her but at the same time, She missed everyone, namely Lolly. She sighed. "I don't know. I think...I don't know yet." She said and that was pretty much it for now as she couldn't make a decision now.

---

After the adults went to discuss something. Which was difficult as neither Beau nor Lolly wanted to be more then a few feet from one another. Lolly sat with Jason and Ria. She started to talk but Ria cut her off. "Don't start. I'm over it. I really am and frankly I missed the hell out of you, chica." Ria said and pulled Lolly into a hug. Lolly's limbs still felt like jelly but she managed a hug. "I'm sorry. You're sorry. We're all fucking sorry." Ria said and Lolly almost cried, Jason looked at her and huffed dramatically saying something about crying not being her thing. Lolly managed a small smile. "Sorry. I just thought you guys hated me..." Ria cuffed her in the back of the head. "I was pissed but I never hated you." She said and smiled. Lolly looked at Jason. They still had things they needed to talk about namely the situation in her room but she didn't bother with it now. She looked down. "Well, You left and didn't come back. Jason never even told me he was leaving..." She said softly. "he didn't even kiss my forehead like he always does..." She said her voice was unreasonably small. She didn't mean to speak the last part but it was on her mind. He'd done that since they were little. Lolly was the youngest of the Original Members childern and started school a year later then the others so when they were all going to school, she was left alone. She would cry and cry until at one point, the 5 year old Jason kissed her atop her head and told her he'd be back. She was completely content after that. He'd done that every time he left after that for years. No one, not even Jason knew how that started until Nickie told them. Lolly had grown accustom to that.

Ria looked at her for a moment. "I gotta ask Lolly, why didn't you see this guy coming?" She asked and there was silence. "I don't know..." She lied. She knew full well, he'd explained it in the plane. She was looking for someone to replace them. Someone who knew her like they did. Nicky didn't. He wasn't so good at reading people and Lolly. as loud as she was, could be subtle sometimes.

She looked away and Jason knew immediately she was lying though he didn't know if Ria knew until she reached over and stroked her hair. "Well It doesn't matter. The douche is dead and I have a sweet 16 to plan." She said slipped out the door to find her a computer and the nearest party supply store.

She and Jason were left alone then. It was quiet for a moment, Lolly was beginning to feel woozy and confused again as Jason spoke up. He could tell there was something up by the far off look on her face. She wasn't all the way there that and her breathing had begun to pick up.

"Hey, you know you can't lie to me" Jason said softly. Jason moved over and took Lolly in his arms, he could tell she was starting to get worked up about something. He kissed her forehead and whispered to her "whatever it is, nothing can hurt you now, you know I'd never let it happen" he said stroking her hair. It was just like when they were kids and she was getting scared about a bad thunder storm outside. "So spill it bitch" he said laughing, he was probably the only person in the world who could call her a bitch and live to tell the story...mainly cause if Lolly didn't kill them for it, Jason would have.

Lolly looked up at Jason as he held her. She wanted to laugh and hit him for calling her a bitch but she couldn't. "I just... wanted you back..." She said. Her words were slow as she was having a hard time focusing. "You...never...leave...without...t-telling me...I was scared..." She said and stopped suddenly. Her chest hurt and she couldn't breathe. "Jason...I..." Her chest heaved as she gasped for breath. "Someth..." Suddenly, her eyes rolled back into her head and her body started to convulse violently in his arms.

"LOUIE!" Jason shouted as he laid Lolly down. Jason held Lolly as she started shaking and convulsing. Once the shaking subsided Jason laid her down and started giving her mouth-to-mouth to try to help her start breathing. Louie, Deke, and Beau came running into the room and saw Lolly on the sofa. "I don't know what the fuck happened, she got really disoriented, said she couldn't breathe, and then started convulsing" Jason kept giving her mouth-to-mouth. "I'll get the Doc" Louie said running out the door and grabbing his phone. "Beau, go grab the first aid kit, it's across the clubhouse" Deke said, Beau didn't move, "Beau, snap out of it" Deke shouted, he seemed to snap out of it and took off. "What the fuck is a first aid kit going to do?" Jason asked in between breaths, "nothing, but he's better off out looking for the kit then seeing this" Deke replied. As this was going on Ria walked back into the room seeing everything going on

Beau rushed in as he heard Jason scream for Louie. It was then he saw Lolly unconscious on the sofa. She was pale almost blue. All he could think was. 'Please not her too...'
Deacon's call snapped him back to reality as he told him to go find a first aid kit. He just darted out of the room, not really sure what to do.

---

Ria ran in at Jason's call. Her eyes were wide as she saw Jason trying desperately to breathe for Lolly as she clearly wasn't doing it on her own. Ria pressed herself against the wall, tears pouring from her eyes and a hand clamped over her mouth.

---

Soon the medics arrived and carted Lolly off toward the nearest hospital. Ria held on to the wall as Lolly disappeared inside the back for the van.

Beau wanted to ride inside but he was much too big for the medics to work around. Ireland was not accustom to men his size so Jason rode instead as they hooked Lolly up to a breathing apparatus and a heart montior. They kept up what Jason had started as it was all they could do until they reached the hospital while Beau, Deacon and the other members rode in behind the van

Just as they reached the hospital, Lolly began seizing again. The EKG began to whine as the medics rushed around her. She stopped suddenly and then the heart montior whined the ever familiar sound of a flatline.

Jason watched as Lolly started shaking and convulsing again, the shaking stopped and he heard the heart monitor start to flatline. Jason could hardly watch as the medics pulled out the defibrillator, they quickly cut open her shirt and bra as they fired up the paddles, the one medic yelled "Clear!" then placed the paddles on her chest and fired the first shock as her body jumped at the shock. The heart monitor continued to flatline, the medic increased the charge, replaced the paddles and fired a second shook, Lolly's body jumped again, but there was still no change. The medics increased to full charge, then fired the third shock, Lolly's body jumped again, and finally the monitor started to come back to life with one beep, the gap between the beeps was long, but the medics had gotten her heart beating again and started CPR as they continued working on her. Jason hated the feeling, watching his best friend fighting for her life and there was nothing he was able to do to try and help her.

The medics lifted Lolly out of the van and they rushed her inside. Making sure to keep her heart beating as they rolled her into the Emergency Room.

Everyone had piled into the waiting room as her doctor walked out. He had a look of fear across his face that only increased when he saw Beau. He pulled him away from the waiting room. "What's going on?" Beau asked him, desperation evident in his voice. The doctor took a breath. "Lola is still in critical as heart stopped again but-" Beau looked sick. "But we are able to get it beating again." The doctor said quickly. "We need to run more tests however we haven't the equipment here to keep her breathing. We need to transfer her to a hospital in London." He said, looking grim. "What's wrong with her?" Beau asked. He wasn't trying to keep calm but it was becoming increasingly difficult. "It appears to be a drug overdose. Rohyponol" He said, looking as though he was getting to girl in trouble. He had no way of knowing what had happened to the girl.

Beau ran his hand over his head . 'Dammit Lolly.' He thought "This transfer. You said to London?" He said and the doctor nodded. Suddenly, the operating room began to scream as the EKG when crazy again. The doctor turned. Beau nearly took off but the doctor, careful not to touch him, stopped him. "Please, Stay here. I will let you know when she's ready to be moved." He said and Beau clenched his fist as the doctor disappeared down the hall.

He went back to the waiting room, looking grim. "It's an overdose of Rohyponol. She's still in critical and needs to transfered to a hospital in London as they don't have the equiptment to keep her breathing here. Her heart stopped again..." he said and almost dropped into the seat, dropping his head in his hand.

Ria rested her head on Beau's shoulder, not really sure what else to do. She was trying not to sob, but it wasn't giving her much of a choice. God, she wanted to help. Beau looked over and wrapped an arm around the girl as she tried not to cry. That seemed to stop all his saddness and turned into to rage. They may have a rat in their midst and he'd find them. Mathias got it easy...
