Legacies

chapter 11

"What's going on?" Jax asked.

"Denni is at the diner with Opie's old lady. She said she saw one of the guys from the bar." He explained, already calculating how they could get her out and back to the clubhouse. 

Jax grabbed Tig and sent him to the garage to get the tow truck. He was already forming a plan and none of it included Happy. If it was one of the guys that she was running from, they'd know who Happy was. “You’re not going to like what I have to say.” 

Happy already knew and understood, but it didn’t stop him from voicing his opinion. “If anything happens to her, after I kill them, I’m coming for you.” 

Opie’s eyes raised to his hairline and turned to walk out to the garage to help Tig. He could already hear Gemma yelling at the crazy haired man as he left the office with the keys. "This should be fun." He said to himself before walking inside. "You have any loaners? We need one to pick up the girls." 

Gemma rolled her eyes at the mention of Denni. "She's not even here a day and she's already starting her bullshit."

Opie leveled her with a glare. "Do you even know what she did for me and Jax when we were kids?" He asked. 

Shrugging Gemma tossed him a set of keys. "Get you two in shit every chance she got."

Shaking his head, he started to walk out. "Maybe you should ask her for the truth." he huffed. “She’s done more for us and this club than you give her credit for. She’s coming here because she risks her safety everytime Clay shakes her down for cash so he can line his pockets.” 

Gemma for once didn’t know what to say. She knew Clay was lining his pockets, but she hadn’t thought of the sacrifices Denni had made. :”What do you mean she did alot for you when you were kids?” 

Opie shook his head. “You ever wonder why she was always getting in shit?” he asked. “It was because she ALWAYS took the jheat so Jax and I wouldn’t get in shit. That night we were busted behind the diner, It was me and Jax that started that fire. Anyone with a brain knew that.” 

Watching Opie turn around and walk away left Gemma with a sour taste in her mouth. She had a lot of apologizing to do.

Kozik kept his eyes on the girls and the surrounding area. He relaxed once he saw Unser sitting with the girls and he could focus more on people coming and going. As he scanned the street one last time, he noticed two guys that didn't quite belong. One was tall and lanky, and the other short and round.

He grabbed his phone to text Jax before he got out to take a better look and to snap a few pictures with his phone. He thought they looked familiar and knew he’d seen them somewhere. He was starting to wonder if they had been the ones that had followed them from Tacoma.

It wasn’t long before Opie and Tig pulled up with the Tow truck, while Jax rolled in with a beat up clunker that Gemma no doubt bitched about giving up for this. Opie slid out of the Tow truck and talked with Kozik and Tig went to hook up the car. “Where are they?” Opi asked, looking around. 

Kozik showed him the picture and  eyed the men across the street. “They’ve been there for the last twenty minutes. Denni noticed one as she walked into the diner, but I don’t think she knows they’re watching her.”

Opie followed Kozik’s eye line and could see two men leaning against the hotel. “Maybe we should send Bobby in to talk to Candy…” he said with a smirk. 

“Candy?” Ain’t she the redhead Bobby sneaks away with at every party?” he asked. When Opie nodded, Tig smiled wide. “I’ll take care of it.”
