Bobby sat on a charred bar-stool in the burnt out clubhouse. He was surprised that it did not give out under his weight. But the bottle of Wild Turkey that he was chugging, was drowning out his curiosity. He kept replaying the conversation he had about an hour earlier. He knew he had to call Church, but he was also hesitant about making the call that he knew would ruin Jax's life.

"I ran over Tara's lawyer friend. Gemma asked me too."

He could still here Tig's confession ringing in his ears. No amount of Wild Turkey was going to silence that desperate and repentant voice.

Although he knew Tig was remorseful, he knew we was not going to be able to save him from Mr. Mayheim. However Bobby knew he had to get him out of Charming. Jax would be pissed, but the end would justify the means.

After Tig had explained Gemma's request, why he did it and now his regret that he put SAMCRO in the cross hairs of a crime boss, Bobby gave him one hour to get out of town. He didn't even watch him leave the clubhouse or wonder where he was going as her heard his Harley speed out of the TM parking lot. But knowing the resources of James Caralino, Bobby knew Tig had no where to hide.

Bobby knew what he had to do. He had to call a meeting. He looked at his phone again, saw that the hour had passed. He picked up the cell and made the call.


"Dr. Knowles, you need to relax. Your heart rate is too high and your blood pressure is dangerously elevated. If you don't take the medicine and rest, you have a strong possibility of losing this baby."

Jax was holding Tara's hand as Dr. Lowes was reading Tara the riot act. She was refusing medication as it made her sleepy and she wanted to be by Gina's side.

"Gina..." Tara started to say.

Jax grabbed her face and made her look at him.

"Gina will be pissed if she knew that this stress made us lose the baby and that you weren't listening to the doctor. Do this for Gina."

Tara's green eyes stared into his. He saw her fear and she saw his pleading. She nodded slowly and Jax turned to the doctor.

"Give her the meds."

Dr. Lowes quickly pulled out a syringe and placed it in Tara's IV.

"The boys..." she started saying.

"I am going to stop in Gina's room, check on Chibbs and her. I am going to take the boys home and tuck them in. Brooke is coming by to stay with them and I will be back."

The medication was starting to take affect and Tara's eyes were droppy.

"She should just sleep for rest of today," said Dr. Lowes. "Besides you, you should really limit her visitors."

"I am. Only myself and Margaret Murphy are allowed in this room. If someone else names James Caralino wants to see her, that is fine, but he can't stay long."

Dr. Lowes nodded.

"I will instruct my nurse that she should not be disturbed. I will have her phone turned off as well"

Jax turned back to Tara and saw that she had fallen asleep. He bent over and gently kissed her forehead.

"I will be back in a bit after i take care of our boys."


When Jax entered Gina's room, he was surprised to see her eyes open and the ventilator out of her mouth. She slowly turned to Jax and stared at him.

"Oh my God Gina," he said going over to her and not even acknowledging Chibbs or James who were both holding her hand.

"She can barely speak. She is blinking or squeezing our hands when we ask her yes or no questions," James said. " So far she knows the year, who we are, who is president and where she is."

Jax looked at Gina. He had to know for sure that she was improving. He had to be able to give Tara some kind of hope when she woke up. He knew exactly what to ask her.

"Blink twice if you still think I am an asshole."

Jax had never seen someone blink so quick. Jax couldn't wait to tell Tara this.

All three men chuckled. And even Gina tried to smile, but her head and face were still bandaged and it looked as even the tiniest move brought her great pain.

"Tara is back in the hospital. Her blood pressure and heart rate were elevated. They gave her meds but they make her sleepy. She is asleep now and i limited her visitors. I am going to go home and put the boys to bed and come back."

Gina seemed to understand this and nodded. She turned back towards Chibbs and closed her eyes.

James stood up.

"I will get two of my men to stand by her door. Until we know who did this, I think Tara's safety should be a top priority. "

Jax nodded, mentally kicking himself for not thinking that he should get Rat to stand by her door, as his cell phone rang. He saw that is was Bobby.

"Bobby?"

"Church, ASAP."

"It's not a good time now..."

"It's about Gina and Tara. Get Chibbs. You need to hear this. And keep the mob man away until after."

Jax's heart sank.

"Clubhouse, 20 minutes." and with that Bobby hung up the phone. Jax felt the color leave his face.

"Are you ok Mr. Teller?" James asked.

Jax had to think quick on his feet to get Chibbs to leave Gina's bedside and not have James ask them a lot of questions.

"Chibbs, we are needed at the Clubhouse. Insurance agent is there. Apparently our names are listed on the deed."

Chibbs knew that their names were not on the deed. But he knew Jax and knew if he was being this secretive, something was wrong.

"Can it wait?" Chibbs asked looking at Gina. She has now opened her eyes and was starting again at Jax.

"If we don't sign today, we won't get the check and can't get the rebuild going. I gotta drop the boys off at home first. Brooke is there. I need to get my bike also. "

Chibb's eyes never left Gina. He stood up and bent down to her.

"I will be back soon. I won't be long. Get some sleep love." Chibbs kissed the only non- bandaged part of her head.

James walked over to Jax.

"Insurance?" he asked.

"Our clubhouse blew up."

"I guess i shouldn't ask how"

Jax remained silent.

"Well, Mr. Teller i guess we both have our secrets. This will give me sometime to spend with my daughter."

Chibbs walked towards Jax and looked at Gina again.

With a careful nudge, he followed Jax out of the hospital room.


Gemma was sitting at her dining room table. It was all crashing down and she knew it.

Her phone rang. She didn't even look at the caller ID. She already knew who was on the other end of the phone.

"I am sorry Gem." she heard Tig say.

She didn't even bother to hear the rest before she hung up her phone.

Without even thinking, she went to her room to pack.


After Jax dropped the boys off at home, him and Chibbs rode to the clubhouse.

When the got there, the walked into the smokey remains of their once thriving clubhouse. Juice and Happy were standing around, Bobby was leaning against the bar and Rat was smoking a cigarette. Tig was no where to be seen.

"We still waiting for Tig?" asked Rat.

Bobby shook his head as he poured himself another shot.

"What is all this cloak and daggar shit Bobby?" Jax asked.

Bobby turned and faced the guys.

" I need you both to hear everything before you react. Once we leave this place, our world is going to change forever. Promise me, the both of you. Swear to me on our brotherhood that you will hear everything and then we, as SAMCRO will come up with a plan of retribution."

Although he was facing all the men, he was starting directly at Chibbs and Jax. Chibbs nodded and Jax's anxiety and anger were reaching its boiling point.

"Tell me Bobby," was all Jax could say through gritted teeth.

He took a deep breath and he let the truth pour out of him.

"Tig came to me earlier today. He told me that a few days ago, Gemma and Collette asked him to kill Gina and Tara."

Chibbs almost feel back and Jax's knees buckled. He sank to the floor and had to catch his breath.

Bobby did not stop talking. He needed to get this out before the Teller fury took over and the streets of Charming were set on fire in his wake.

"Gemma told Tig that he owed her this one favor. Apparently she guilted him into it. I don't know how and i stopped listening. He said he was never going to kill Tara, but thought if he knocked off Gina first, that it would cool Gemma down. He stole the Tahoe from Stockton docks. After he ran Gina over, he realized just how much he fucked up. "

Jax still had not gotten off his knees.

"Where is he?" Chibbs asked, with an eerie calm to his voice.

Bobby took another swig of the Wild Turkey.

"I gave him an hour to get out of town. "

Jax stood up quickly and pounced on Bobby.

"You did what?" he asked, spraying spit into Bobby's face.

"Figured we have to give Daddy someone to kill. Tell him that Tig was behind it and have him look for him. Get them out of Charming while we deal with Gemma and Collette."

Jax let go of Bobby.

"That was not your call."

"I know. But enough blood is going to be spread on these streets. Let Tig meet Mr. Mayhem somewhere else. "

Jax stepped away from Bobby and went to Chibbs.

"Your mother..."

Jax stopped him.

"I know Chibbs, I know."

Jax turned to Happy and Juice.

"Happy get Collette, take care of it. "

Collette was not worth the time for an extensive assassination. Happy would take care of it and do it right. Happy nodded and walked out.

"Juice, find my mother and bring her here. Don't tell her anything and don't do anything. I will take care of her. Call me when you get her. "

Juice followed Happy.

"What about me?" CHibbs asked. Jax could see the rage in his face. He felt that it matched his own. Chibbs deserved his own retribution and Jax was going to give it to him.

"You will go with James and find Tig. What you do to him, that is your call. We wait until after my mother and Collette have been taken care of before we tell James. After that, revenge is yours."

Chibbs seemed satisfied with that result.

"Going back to the hospital. You should not leave Gina alone. She needs you."

He patted Chibbs on the back and watched him walk out the doors.

Bobby went to Jax.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Jax looked around at the clubhouse. Looked around at his father's legacy. John Teller would be so ashamed at what SAMCRO has turned into, at what Jax has turned into. Almost getting his wife killed, twice. Doing horrible things in the name of brotherhood and worse, expecting his own sons to follow in is footsteps. Jax was so disgusted with himself he almost threw up. He promised Tara they were leaving and he would not break that promise again.

"She left me no choice," he said to Bobby.

He started to walk out of the clubhouse.

"Where are you going," Bobby asked.

Without turning around, he answered:

"To see an old friend."
