Not even two minutes after Opie had hung up with his wife, she was calling him back, "What's wrong?" That was how he answered the phone because she wouldn't have called back if everything was okay.

"Gemma wasn't there when Molly went to find her," he could hear the tears in Avery's voice. "The Mayans just got here, and they're searching the whole property, but we know she's gone," she was talking in a panicked rush. "She went outside to smoke a joint, and Molly found it unlit on the ground with Gemma's lighter beside it."

Fuck! It sounded like Gemma had quickly been snatched. "Baby girl, are any of the Mayans with you?"

"Yeah, two guys named Bishop and Riz."

"Good. Don't call the cops," he warned her even though it probably wasn't necessary. Avery knew better.

"We weren't going to," Avery assured him.

The search for Gemma started as soon as the guys arrived back at the clubhouse. Jax had gone to his mother's house on the very off chance that she was there. She wasn't. They had spent the next twenty-four hours riding all up and down California with the aid of the Mayans. They didn't find hide nor hair of her. Sonny flew in some of his men from Port Charles to assist in the now-massive search. They weren't of much help. Juice got his hands on Gemma's bank and credit card statements. They found something, something that Opie knew would break Jax and Kristina's hearts.

Opie, Avery, Happy, Molly, and Juice had gathered together and pulled Jax into the chapel to break the bad news in private.

"Jax, your mom is working with Clay," Opie dropped the bomb on him.

Kristina gasped and covered her mouth with her hand, but Jax's expression was unreadable. "How the fuck do you know?" He demanded.

"Because Clay's been transferring a shit ton of money into Gemma's bank account under the guise of a phony LLC," Juice explained. "And when Bobby went over the books today, he found that close to five hundred thousand dollars is unaccounted for. Gemma also updated her passport last week."

Jax picked up the president's gavel off the redwood table, and in his rage, he chucked it at the wall, making it explode into a million pieces. "I'm gonna fucking kill her!"
