Chapter 1

Being the kid of one of the first nine and the little sister of another first nine member comes with a certain level of danger and protection. My name is Savannah Winston. Daughter of Piney Winston and little sister of Opie Winston. Most people call me Savy for short. I grew up being referred to as the SAMCRO Princess and I was okay with that. I know who my family is and what they do. Daddy and Opie never kept things from me. They wanted me to be prepared for anything that could possibly happen.

I went away to college for a few years and got a degree in Business Management just to come home and work in the garage, Teller-Morrow Automotive, where my dad works. It's also owned by SAMCRO, the mother charter of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. I know all of the guys from our charter and a few from some of the other charters but not that well. Of course, growing up, I didn't see many members from the other charters because usually when they were in town I would be at the house and then would see them on the rare occasion that we had lockdown but even then the other charters were not necessarily there.

I have been back in Charming a couple of months and working in the office. More like running it because Gemma wanted more time to spend with Abel, Jax's son. He's been in the hospital since he was born and is still there. That was one of the reasons I took Business Management was to help run TM so that when Gemma decided she wanted to just kick back and enjoy life a little more, someone could take care of things. It was what we talked about before I left for college. I had always planned on coming back to Charming and working at the 'family business.' Plus it keeps me close to Daddy and Ope. What can I say. I'm a Daddy's Girl.

Working in the office, entering invoices, I hear Gemma walk into the office. "Hey Sweetheart. How's work coming along?" She asked me. "Good. Almost finished entering these invoices and then I can get them filed. Shouldn't take too much longer." I reply. "You're doing a great job. Look, we are going to have a couple of guys from Tacoma coming down for a while to help out. Don't know how long they will be here but just wanted to give you heads up." She tells me with a little smile. "Thanks Gemma. So, more boneheads to boss around?" I asked laughing. "You know it. Give 'em hell baby." She told me walking back out to her car, leaving.

Later that day, two bikes pull in and I get up to see who's here. I look and I see one that I recognize because he has been here before, Happy. He's with another Son that has blonde spiky hair and built pretty nice. Kind of looks like a surfer boy but still kinda hot. I sit back at the desk to finish up more paperwork when Jax walks in with the SAMTAC guys in tow. "Savy, just wanted to introduce you to our Tacoma guys that will be working with us for a while. Can you get them some work shirts and shit?" He asks. "This one is Happy and this is Kozik." He tells me. "Hey Happy. Long time no see. Nice to meet you Kozik." I say getting and walking to the cabinet that holds the uniform shirts. Tossing them four shirt each, I tell them that if they leave them in the bin by the door that I wash the shirts a couple of days a week and will take care of it for them. They both nod and walk off. I walk to the door to watch them leave and see Kozik looking back at me with a smile. I turn back to the desk and can't help but smile a little myself.

Time to close up the shop and it's just Happy, Kozik and myself. I am shutting down the computer when they come in to clock out and put their dirty shirts in the bin. "See you tomorrow Sav" Happy says. "Bye Happy." I respond. Kozik sits down on the couch while I finish up. I couldn't help but stop and say, "You don't have to stay. I will be out of here in a minute." "No biggy. So, how long have you worked here?" He asks watching me at the filing cabinet. "A couple of months. Just moved back here from college and Gemma gave me the job." I tell him looking back at the filing I was doing. "Oh, college girl. So I take it you ain't a croweater?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "Hardly. But don't let my daddy or my brother for that matter hear you say that." He looks at me strangely and asked who my dad and brother are. "Piney and Opie." I tell him. As his eyes get wide, so does his smile. "So, you got an Old Man?" He asked. "Nope. And just to let you know, I don't get involved with Sons so don't waste your breath." I tell him as I walk out the office door. He follows and walks me to the car. "Well, we will just have to change that won't we?" He asks, smirking at me before kissing my cheek and walking away leaving me to shake my head. Daddy and Bubby are gonna kill him.
