A/N: So I've had this story running around my head for a couple of months now... LMAO... I have also been writing it down as it comes to me... This is the first chapter... I will warn you that not all chapters will end up being this long but the first couple will be... LMAO... As it is I cut this chapter because if I hadn't it would have been over 10,000 words long... I know a lot of information has been given in this chapter but a lot more information will be given in the next couple of chapters as well... This story will end up being a Crossover with the T.V. show Numb3rs and possibly with Criminal Minds as well but I have yet to decide on that one... LOL... THIS STORY IS AU!

Rania Michaels sighed as she took her seat in English Lit. As much as she loved learning she was ready for this day to be over. The whole day had been hell for her because anytime she moved or walked her ribs flared up. She had no doubt that she had a broken rib or two but she couldn't do anything about it. When she saw the Teacher shut the door she made herself focus on what was about to be said.

Her eyes widened when she the Teacher said "You all will be working in groups of three writing a paper and making a presentation. I do not care what your presentation is on but it is worth 35% of your final grade for this class. I will be assigning you to a group and the other two people who are in your group are final and there will be no trading a person for someone else. Now when I call your name I want you to come up here."

She listened as the first group was called and shook her head when she saw right away what the Teacher was doing. She just knew that she was going to be put with someone she has never talked to. She watched as the next two groups were called and groaned silently when the Teacher called out "Rania Michaels, Opie Winston, and Jax Teller."

Once she was up front standing next to the two boys she would be working with she took the packet from Mrs. Martin and looked over it. She nodded to herself when she saw that it was just a guideline on what they could and could not do for their joint project and what exactly was expected in the project. Without looking to who it was she was handing the packet to she handed it to the boy on her left side. "You two can discuss what you want the project to be about as long as it meets those guidelines in the information pack and let me know so that I can start the research."

She didn't wait for either of the two boys to respond to her before she made her way back to her seat. Once in her seat she bit her lip for a moment before nodding decisively to herself and pulled out her cell phone and sent a text message and asked the person to pick her up after school so that he could have one of his men check her ribs along with another request. She knew as she sat there that it was time to start fighting back even just a little and she knew without a doubt that by sending the text she did that it would show a certain someone that she wasn't going to give in no matter what was done to her.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Marcus Alvarez frowned at the text message he had just received. He sighed and dialed a number. "Hey, Clay, it's Marcus. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be in Charming in about thirty minutes."

Clay frowned. "Everything, okay?"

Marcus sighed again. "I have to pick someone up at Charming High. I just didn't want you or your boys to think something was up. More than likely I'll be dropping her off at school in the morning as well if I have my way about it. And a heads up tomorrow will be the day Laroy picks her up for a couple of hours."

Clay's eyes widened at that. "Damn you two are getting along now?"

Marcus chuckled. "We have to unless we wanna make Chiquita mad at us. I'll talk to the girl and see if I can tell you anything about her but for now I can't."

Clay sighed. "Alright I'll let my guys know that you'll be in town today and tomorrow."

"Thanks, Esse, I appreciate it." Marcus said before ending the call. Once he was sure that it was set up with his men he sent a text t o Rania and let her know he'd be there and that he was getting ready to leave now.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Clay looked around his men and said "Heads up, boys, Alvarez will be in town shortly. I want you all to leave him be."

Tig looked up and frowned. "What's Alvarez doing in town?"

Clay shook his head. "He's picking someone up from Charming High. I'll text Jax to let him know so that he knows to leave Alvarez alone. He also forewarned me that tomorrow will be Laroy's turn to pick the girl up. Apparently Alvarez and Laroy have put their differences aside so that the girl won't get mad at them."

At that Tig's Chibs' Bobby's, Otto's, and Happy's eyes widened but it was Otto said "Damn. Who is this girl?

Clay shrugged his shoulders but narrowed his eyes slightly when he didn't see the same shock on Koz's face as everyone's but he chose to ignore it for now and instead looked at the others. "I don't know."

Otto nodded and then went back to working on the car that he was working on with Koz and Chibs.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Rania let out a sigh of relief when the bell rang signaling that the school day was over. She quickly packed her things into her bag and then exited the classroom and headed to her locker. She heard someone calling her name but ignored it in favor of getting her locker opened. Once she put everything in her locker she grabbed her jacket and purse and closed her locker. When she turned to leave she ran into someone and then swallowed when she saw who it was. "Sorry."

Opie shook his head. "It's alright, Darlin'. When can you meet up with Jax and me to talk about our project?"

Rania frowned. "If you two will decide what it is you want the project to be about I will do the research. I really don't have the time to meet up with you two unless it is during the school day. Now if you will excuse me I need to go so that my ride doesn't come looking for me and scare everyone in the process of doing it."

Opie frowned but before he could say anything Rania walked away from him. He could feel that something was off but he wasn't sure what it was. He sighed and decided to follow Rania out so he could see who her ride was. Once outside he walked over to Jax who was staring at something. He followed Jax's line of sight and his mouth dropped open in shock at what he saw. "What the hell is Alvarez doing here?"

Jax shook his head. "From the text that Clay sent me he is here to pick someone up. Did you get things set up with Michaels?"

Opie shook his head. "No I didn't. She didn't want to set anything up. Hell she didn't even want to talk me." He stopped talking when he saw the subject of their conversation was getting onto the back of the Mayan President's bike. "What the fuck?"

Jax's eyes were wide when he noticed that it was Rania who Marcus was picking up. "Jesus Christ! What the hell is she doing?"

Opie shook his head again and ran a hand down his face. "I don't know, man, but look at their body language. I can tell from here that Alvarez is concerned and pissed but he isn't pissed at Michaels. Also look at the way Michaels is holding herself. It looks as if she is in pain."

Jax frowned but a few seconds later he nodded. "Yeah. Let's get to the Clubhouse and talk to the others."

Opie nodded and followed Jax over to their bikes once Marcus pulled out. He couldn't help but wonder why Marcus was picking up their English Lit partner. He sighed and started his bike before he followed Jax out of the school parking lot and to Teller-Morrow Automotive.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Twenty minutes after picking Rania up, Marcus pulled into the parking lot of his Clubhouse. He turned off his bike then quickly got off of it and swept Rania off of his bike and into his arms. He could tell from the way she was shaking that something was seriously wrong. He walked into his Clubhouse and over to one of the couches at a fast pace. Once he laid her gently on the couch he shouted "Jay, get out here now!"

He paced while Jay checked Rania over. He could tell from the look on Jay's face that he wasn't going to like what he heard. "How is she?"

Jay shook his head. "It's not good, Marcus. She has walked around all day today with at least three broken ribs. By the way her breathing is sounding it sounds as if one of them has punctured a lung. That isn't all though. She has a stab wound on her left side that looks as if it needs stitches. I am also pretty sure that she has a concussion. I can't fix her this time, Brother. She needs a hospital."

Marcus' eyes hardened at every word Jay spoke to him. "Fuck! Okay here is what we do. I want you to get one of the SUV's and pull it out front. I'm sending Laroy a text to meet us at St. Thomas. I'll then text Clay to let him know. I want you to get our boys and tell them that we ride out in less than five minutes." He waited until Jay left before he pulled his cell out and sent both Laroy and Clay a text message. He then walked over and knelt down beside Rania. "Niña, I'm going to have to take you to the hospital so you can be checked out. I promise not to tell them who did this to you but more than likely one of our people will be working so that won't be a problem. If they let you leave tonight I'll bring you back home with me. Now I know it's going to hurt but I'll try to be gentle but I have to carry you out to the car. Is that alright, Corazon?"

Rania nodded and then groaned when pain shot through her head. "You're gonna have to keep Laroy in check, Marcus. Ya know he's gonna want blood."

Marcus nodded as he gently lifted Rania into his arms and walked out of the clubhouse to the SUV. "I know, Dulzura. I'll do what I can and if need be I'll call in some more of the Son's then the two I requested to be there. But you have to know that this isn't going to go without some kind of payback. He went too far this time, Baby Girl."

Rania nodded and closed her eyes as Marcus laid her on the backseat as gently as he could. "I know."

Marcus leaned down and kissed Rania on the head. "We'll be at the hospital in ten to fifteen minutes, Princess." With that he shut the back door and quickly got into the driver's seat. Once in he started the SUV and nodded to his men before he pulled out with his men following behind him.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Once they were at TM, Jax and Opie walked into the Clubhouse. They noticed Tig, Koz, Bobby, Piney, Chibs, Otto, Happy, and Clay by the bar and walked over to them but it was Jax who said "We saw who it was that Alvarez was picking up."

Clay looked at Jax with a raised eyebrow. "Who?"

Jax snorted. "He actually picked up mine and Opie's English Lit partner Rania Michaels. After school was out Opie tried to get her pinned down for a time we could work on our project but from what he said she told him no and refused to meet up with us."

Opie nodded. "It was almost as if she was scared for some reason. I did notice that when she got on Alvarez's bike that they seemed close but not in a sexual way. From what I picked up on their body language there is something going on and Alvarez knows what it is and he is protective of the girl. From the way she was holding herself on his bike it looked like she was in pain or something and Alvarez could tell it also."

The Son's all exchanged looks but it was Chibs who asked "Did anyone mess with the Lass today at school and hurt her?"

Jax and Opie exchanged looks but it was Jax who said "Not that we know of. Then again Michaels pretty much keeps to herself. She doesn't talk to anyone that I know of. I do know that quite a few of the boys at school follow her with their eyes but she never gives them the time of day."

Clay frowned at the look on Koz's face and at what Jax said but before he could say anything his phone went off. As he read the text his frown grew more. "Seems like we are about to have Mayan's and Niner's in our town. Alvarez is talking the girl to St. Thomas. He thinks he may need one or two of us to help keep Laroy in check."

At that information Otto stood up. "I'll go to St. Thomas and I'll take Jax and Opie with me. The rest of you can decide who else goes with me."

Happy stepped forward and rasped "I'll go."

Otto nodded and looked at Clay. "One of us will call when we know something."

Clay nodded and after Otto, Happy, Jax, and Opie left he turned to the rest of his guys. "Stay close in case they need us. Koz, I would like to talk to you for a moment."

Koz nodded and stepped forward after Piney, Bobby, Chibs, and Tig all walked off. "What can I do for you, Pres?"

Clay frowned and looked at Koz. "You know this girl. Can you tell me how?"

Koz sighed and ran a hand through his hair and shook his head. "I would, Pres, but it just isn't my story to tell. I promise you that you'll know soon enough if what I suspect is true. I can tell you this much though. Rania Michaels is not trouble for us in any way, shape, or form. I am the only one in Charming who knows her but I'm not the only Son that knows her and that is all I can say for right now."

Clay nodded. "Alright then, Brother, I'll trust your judgment. If you ever need to talk I am here for you."

Koz nodded and then walked over and sat down on a bar stool and put his head in his hands as he wondered just what exactly is wrong with Rania.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Once at St. Thomas, Marcus parked and hurried out of the SUV. As he was carefully pulling Rania out and lifting her into his arms he heard four more bikes pull up. He turned his head and nodded when he saw Otto, Happy, Jax, and Opie. "Thank you for coming. Laroy should be here in about ten minutes or so. I need to get Rania inside."

Otto quickly dismounted his bike followed by Jax, Happy, and Opie. As he got closer to Marcus he noticed how small the girl in Marcus' arms was. "Jesus Christ! What in the fuck happened to her?"

Marcus sighed. "Let me get her seen to and I'll tell you some of what I know. It is not up to just me on if I can tell you everything or not."

Otto nodded and then followed Marcus into the Emergency Room. Once there he stood back with Happy, Opie, Jax, and some of the Mayan's as Marcus placed the girl onto the gurney that a couple of Nurse's brought out. He could feel the anger coming off of Marcus in waves and wondered just what this girl meant to him. He looked at his brothers and saw that t hey could see and feel the anger pouring off of Marcus too. He saw Marcus nod to the Nurse and watched as he walked over to them. "Now what is going on, Brother? What happened to the girl?"

Marcus sighed and ran a hand agitatedly over his head. "Rania sent me a text asking me to pick her up after school and to have Jay on standby to check her over. Normally this happens about once a month but this is the third time this month. Jay checked Rania over and discovered she has some broken ribs and he is afraid that one of them punctured a lung. She also has a stab wound on her left side."

Happy, Jax, Opie, and Otto all swore but it was a voice behind them who snarled "That mother fucker is dead! We told him to keep his hands off of her. Fuck!"

Marcus shook his head. "We can't kill him and ya know it, Laroy. I did get Rania to agree to payback though. She also knows that from today on she is either at my place or your place. Ain't no way in hell I'm letting this happen to her again."

Laroy swore but nodded. "That girl has me wrapped around her finger. I won't kill him this time but the payback better be damn good."

Marcus nodded. "I agree, Brother, but right now our girl needs us. I'm tellin ya, Laroy, I have never seen that look in her eyes before and I never wanna see it again. It looked like she was giving up. I'm gonna set Manuel on looking for the asshole with instructions not to touch him but to follow him. The prick is lucky I didn't see him when I picked her up at Charming High. I think seeing my bike caused him to hide. Normally when I pick her up I take the SUV but in the text she sent me she told me to ride my bike and wear my kutte."

Laroy snorted and then smirked. "Sounds like kitten is getting her claws back. It's about damn time too. I'll put one of my men on her Father to see if he leads us to the sick fuck."

Jax, Opie, Happy, and Otto watched the exchange between the two rivals in surprise but their words registered with them and Jax snapped "Are you saying that someone we go to school with did this to Michaels?"

Marcus and Laroy exchanged looks and then Laroy hissed "That is exactly what we are saying, Teller. So far we haven't touched the boy but that is gonna change. It's time he realizes just who he is fucking with by messing with Rania. That girl means the world to Marcus and I and there isn't a damn thing we wouldn't do or haven't done for her."

Otto's brows furrowed as he asked "Why?"

Laroy sighed. "She saved my baby sister's life. She put her own life on the line to save my sister and Marcus' brother and took a bullet in the leg and shoulder. Actually if you call the Tacoma charter President he will be able to verify that since he was also saved by her. It was Lorca's gun she used to shoot the Nord in the head. Speaking of Lorca, Marcus, one of us should call him. You know he's gonna be pissed."

Marcus swore. "Fuck! I knew I was forgetting something." He took his cell out only to stop when Otto raised a hand.

"I'll call him for ya." Otto said.

Marcus nodded and ran a hand over his head and down his face as he moved to lean against the wall behind him. He knew he needed to calm down so that Rania didn't see him like this. He could see the looks Jax, Opie, and Happy were sharing and sighed. "I get why Happy and Otto are here but why are Opie and you here, Teller? I know for a fact that Rania isn't friends with you two. In fact your girl Tara makes Rania's life hell at school."

Jax sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Ope and I got partnered with Michaels today for an English Lit project. Opie tried to set up a time for the three of us to get together to work on it but Michaels blew him off and told him that we could pick the topic and let her know and she would do the research."

Marcus and Laroy both swore cause Happy to hiss "What's wrong with that?"

Marcus looked at Laroy before looking at Happy and finally said "She won't go near TM to work on the project. If Opie and Jax are going to want t o work on it with her outside of school they will have to do so at either Laroy's Clubhouse or mine. Or they will have to work on it without her."

Jax frowned and asked "Why won't she come to TM?"

This time it was Laroy who snorted and said "Because the bastard who hurt her works there. Well one of the bastards."

Happy's eyes hardened. "Who?"

Laroy and Marcus shook their heads but it was Marcus who said "We can't tell you right now."

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Otto walked over to the other side of the waiting room and pulled his cell phone out and dialed Lorca's cell number. He sighed when he heard his brother's voice. "Hey, Brother, I have a couple of questions for you."

Lorca heard Otto's tone of voice and stepped inside the Chapel of the Tacoma charter Son's. "What's up, Otto? Is everything alright in Charming?"

Otto sighed again. "Depends on your answers, Lorca. Do you know a girl by the name of Rania Michaels? If so how do you know her?"

Lorca swore. "Yeah, I know Rania. Is she okay? She hasn't called me today. As for how I know her, Brother, she saved mine, Donut's, and Koziks' life about two years or so ago at a gas station outside of Stockton when a Nord got the hump on us with a couple of his buddies. She also saved Laroy's sister and Alvarez's brother all in one fell swoop. Not sure how she managed it but she got my gun somehow and killed the guy who was pointing a gun at us and then she jumped in front of Trina and Dion as the other two fired shots and she got hit in the shoulder and leg. Needless to say Koz and Donut took the other two out as I stood guard over Rania, Trina, and Dion. Since then Marcus, Laroy, Koz, Donut, and me have been close to her. Now will you please tell me why you are asking me about Rania?"

Otto swore and sighed. "I'm asking because Alvarez brought her to St. Thomas. From what I saw before the Nurse's rushed her back she didn't look all that good, Brother. From what Marcus' VP said she has broken ribs and he's pretty sure one of them punctured a lung. Right now Alvarez, Laroy, and some of their guys are across from me in the waiting room with Jax, Opie, and Happy."

Lorca cursed long and hard. "Donut and I will be there by four in the morning. Have Koz come to the hospital and help keep an eye on Rania for me. He knows her very well and she knows him but he was asked not to tell anyone. I'll explain to Clay and you why he was asked when I get there. I would appreciate it, Brother, if you can make sure nobody that works on her lets anyone know that she is there. I would also appreciate it if you make sure none of the TM workers learn where she is. Shit is going to go down and it isn't going to be preety. I'll tell you what I know when I get there. Just know, Otto, Rania is the Tacoma Sons Princess even if she lives in Charming. She is also the Mayan Princess and the Niner's Princess. I'll be there soon with Donut and a couple other men."

Otto nodded even though he knew Lorca couldn't see him. "Alright, Brother, ride safe. I'll call Clay and get him to send Kozik over." He ended the call with Lorca and then dialed Clay. He had a feeling this was going to bring a shit storm to Charming and he couldn't blame Marcus, Lorca, or Laroy at all. He sighed when Clay finally answered. "Brother, I need for you to send Kozik over here to St. Thomas. I can't explain right now but he knows the girl. Also Lorca, Donut, and a couple other men are coming from Tacoma and they know the girl. Lorca just informed me she is the Tacoma charter's Princess. I also need you to make sure Bobby, Chibs, Piney, Tig, and you don't mention the girl's name to anyone who works at TM or even to the Prospects."

Clay swore. "I'll come over with Koz and bring Tig with me and you can fill me in on what you can. I'll let the boys know to keep their mouths shut. We'll see you soon." He ended the call and called out for Chibs, Tig, Piney, Bobby, and Koz. When they surrounded him he kept his voice low as he said "Alright boys you are not to mention that Rania Michaels is at the hospital to anyone including the Prospects. We will be having company from the Tacoma charter. Koz, Lorca asked Otto to have you sent over to the hospital since you know the girl and she knows you. Tig, you and I are going with Koz. Apparently the girl is the Tacoma charter's Princess but I'm not sure how."

Koz snorted and then smiled. "Yea, Rania is the Tacoma Princess alright. She is also my Angel, Lorca's Baby Girl, and Donut's love. Not to mention she is also the Mayan's Princess and the Niner's Princess. Oh and I guess she is the Nords nightmare."

Clay looked at Koz with wide eyes. "What the hell? How do you know her? Why is she the Nord's nightmare?"

Koz sighed and shook his head. "Lorca, asked that I not tell anyone that I know her and he has his reasons which he'll explain when he gets here. Rania goes up to Tacoma once a month for about a week. As to how I know her is the same reason she is the Nord's nightmare. She saved Donut, Lorca, Dion, Trina, and me when three of the Nords got a drop on Lorca, Donut, and me up near Stockton. She blew the guy's brain out that was holding a gun on us with Lorca's gun and then jumped in front of Dion and Trina when the other two fired shots. She took a hit to the leg and one to the shoulder. Since then she's been close to all of us, Laroy, and Marcus. I normally see her twice a week except for the week she goes up to Tacoma. I can tell you that if Jax and Opie want to work on that school project with her they will have to do so either at Marcus' place, Laroy's place, or up in Tacoma because she will not come to TM at all."

Tig narrowed his eyes and demanded "Why won't she come here?"

Kozik pulled the keys to his bike out and said "Because one of her abusers work here." He then walked out of the Clubhouse and to his bike. He started his bike and pulled out of TM without looking back. He knew that his last statement was going to piss them off but he couldn't say anything else until Lorca got there. His thoughts were all on his personal Angel as he made his way to St. Thomas. He heard Clay and Tig catch up to him but didn't spare them a glance. Once at the hospital he found a parking space and then hurried into the hospital.

As soon as he was in the ER he spotted Marcus and Laroy and walked over to them and ignored everyone else as he demanded "How is my Angel?"

Marcus shook his head. "We don't know yet, Brother. Are you still listed as next of kin to her? The Nurse at the sig in desk may give you an update. I'm not sure if they have Laroy and me listed like they should."

Kozik nodded and turned on his heel and walked over to the information desk. He could feel his brothers' eyes on him but he ignored them. "Excuse me, Ma'am, but I want to know what is going on with Rania Michaels? She is my Baby Girl."

The Nurse looked up and smiled slightly. "The Doctor should be out shortly, Koz. I made sure that Doctor Newman is on her case once I saw who it was that was brought in. I also put in a call into Lorca and he said they were on the way."

Koz nodded and then smiled as he recognized the Nurse. "Thank you, Leah. Marcus, Laroy, and me will be staying and more than likely so will the others. You made sure that Dr. Newman told the other Nurses not to say anything about Rania being here didn't you?"

Leah nodded. "Of course I did. I hope this time you boys are going to do something about this."

Koz nodded again and smiled grimly. "We will, Darlin'. I'm going back over." With that he walked back over to the group and looked at Marcus and Laroy. "Newman should be out soon to let us know what's going on. As soon as Leah realized it was Rania she had Newman take the case. She also made sure that Newman made sure that the Nurses won't talk. I sure as hell don't know what we'd do without her."

Laroy chuckled. "We'd probably end up dead. I don't know how many times she has patched up one of my men for me."

Koz chuckled. "Tell me about it. I've had her patch me up several times. So which one of you two are having the kid tailed and which one of you are having the old man tailed?"

Marcus smirked. "You know us too well, Koz. I'm having the kid tailed and Laroy is having the old man tailed. Twenty bucks says Lorca is gonna let Donut or Nos loose on the old man."

Laroy lifted an eyebrow and said "I'll bet twenty on the fact that Lorca asks Happy here to do it."

Koz shook his head and smirked. "I got twenty that says Lorca will do it himself and another twenty that he calls in Maurice to rough up the kid. And then finally I'll bet fifty that he gives Rania a choice of either her moving full time to Tacoma or he sets her up in a house with me so that I am always with her unless one of you two are."

Marcus and Laroy both nodded and all three shook hands just as Clay said "Do you really think Lorca will do that, Koz?"

Koz nodded and looked at Clay. "Yeah, I do. He's been trying to get her to move in with me into a house for the last three months but she always t urns him down. This time he ain't gonna take no for an answer. He will also force the issue of payback this time which I know Marcus, Laroy, and me all agree with. We've let it go before but this time the fuckers have went too far. Which reminds me Marcus did you send someone to her house yet?"

Marcus shook his head. "There was no reason to since Trina has Nadine and Nico with her and Dion today. Trina picked them up last night since Maria wasn't able to take em' today. Once we know what is going on with Rania I'll call and have them brought by."

Koz nodded. "I'll start lookin' for someone else since Maria isn't really all that reliable. I'll also start looking for a car cuz Rania can't keep walking everywhere."

Clay, Otto, Jax, Happy, Tig, and Opie looked from Marcus to Laroy, to Koz, but it was Clay who finally asked "Who in the hell are Nadine, Nico, and Maria?"

Koz sighed. "Uh Nadine and Nico are mine, Lorca's, and Rania's kids and Maria is the baby sitter."

Marcus and Laroy both laughed at the looks on the Sons faces and Laroy said "You can't forget that Nadine and Nico are also mine and Marcus' kids also. Between the four of us those babies are never gonna want for a Dad."

Clay's eyes widened. "What the fuck? How in the hell are all four of you their Dad's? Does she not know which one of you are the Father?"

At that Koz, Marcus, and Laroy all looked at Clay with glares but it was Koz who said in a cold voice "Watch what you say about Rania, Pres. She knows exactly who Nadine's and Nico's Father is since at the time she ended up pregnant she had only been with one guy and it was the guy who raped her! Marcus, Laroy, Lorca, and me all love those two kids and have taken to calling them ours. All four of us do what we can for those babies and their Mother."

Happy stepped forward and put a hand on Koz's shoulder. "Calm down, Brother. How was Clay to know? It's not like you told him or any of us."

Koz took in a deep breath and let it out but before he could say anything a voice called out "Kozik, Marcus, and Laroy if you come with me I'll give you information about our girl."

A/N 2: *smirks* I know I left it at a cliffy but the 2nd chappy should be up by late tonite or Sunday at the latest... This was the only place I felt I could cut the chapter... Click the button and let me know what you think!
