Dead Men Tell No Tales: An AOD Story

Losing Control

The next day, Jax had rolled out of Maria's bed bright and early. As he was walking out of her room quietly, at the end of the hallway lurked Clay.

Rubbing his chin he began to curse under his breath. He knew that Jax had feelings for her, but he didn't know he was actually sleeping with her.

"This bitch is going to be a problem," he muttered as he walked out to the garage.

Pulling out his cellphone he began to call his contacts in the sheriff's department.

As Ezekiel was parked outside of the AOD garage he noticed an unmarked car and van pull up to the drive way.

He pulled out his cellphone and called Marcus.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not sure but we got two unmarked vehicles here in Tellers spot."

"Do you think they're cops?"

"No, I think it's ICE."

Ezekiel watched as two large men wearing navy blue jackets with the large yellow lettering ICE imprinted on the back of them.

As they walked up to the garage, Chucky came out arguing with them, Ez was too far to hear.

Next thing he saw was the men dragging Maria out, kicking and screaming.

"Shit. Someone called ICE on Maria."

"That's cold man, but it couldn't have been any of those white boys."

"Should I follow?"

"Let me talk to Rio, he might have some cops on the payroll."

Ez hung up as he carefully pulled out onto the street so he wasn't seen.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" Jax screamed as he threw a chair inside of the club. Everyone had cleared out with the exception of Juice and Tig.

"Chucky said ICE came to scoop her up early this morning. There was nothing we could do Jax. It's the federal fucking government. We'd be brining heat on ourselves," Tig said as he watched Jax pace back and forth. Jax looked over to see Juice very quiet.

"You know something Juice?"

"It maybe nothing, but this morning I heard Clay on the phone with someone. He kept saying Maria's name over and over and gave them our location."

That's all it took to set him down the path of destruction.

Jax stormed out of the clubhouse and out into the garage where Clay stood talking to Happy.  Clay turned around to say something to Jax but didn't get the chance.

Jax grabbed Clay by the collar and slammed him ontop of a Honda Accord one of the mechanics was working on.  Breaking the windshield, Jax held onto him tightly so Clay couldn't move.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!"

"I DID WHAT I HAD TO TO PROTECT THIS CLUB!" Clay yelled back as he gripped onto Jax's hands, he tried to pull them away but Jax was stronger.

"WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!" Jax began to pick him up by the collar and slamming his body on the car over and over.

"Jax! Jax!" Tig yelled as he and Happy pryed Jax off of Clay. Happy stood in between them trying to hold each other off.

"We have to bring this to the table, if Clay did something wrong we must vote on it and see what will become of it. But we never take matters into our own hands!" Tig yelled as he cupped Jax's face. Jax ripped away from him as he pointed at a bloody Clay.

"If anything happens to her, you're fucking dead."

Maria sat in the cell alone as she waited for transportation to Mexico. Her hands hiding her face, she cried softly as she wiped the tears away.

What was she going to do? She almost died coming over the first time. Who was going to watch her aunt? What was going to happen to Opie?

As a million thoughts ran through her head, she hadn't heard the door open and the footsteps creep up outside of her cell.

"I'm not a big fan of I told you so, but i guess here we are."

Maria looked up to see Rio standing there, leaning his arms through the metal bar and resting against them.

"What are you talking about?"

"One day, those white boys were going to turn on you. It was only a matter of time. If they can't be loyal to each other, why would they be loyal to you?" Rio gave her a smug smile as Maria looked away from him.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to give you one last opportunity, come work with me. Be my right hand. And I will get you out of here before the next van gets here," Rio said as he smiled at her.

Maria felt the vile churning in her stomach as she realized she was all out of luck. She stood up as she walked over to Rio.

"I'd rather live in a fucking box in the shittiest part of Mexico for the rest of my life than go anywhere with you. Let alone work for you."

The smile from Rio's face disappeared as a hard frown formed on his face.

"You have this undying loyalty for Teller, yet where the fuck is he at? I guess now you know where you really stand. A club  whore." Rio turned around and walked out of the room towards where the guard was. The second he left Maria broke down and began to cry.

Jax wouldn't let her go. He just wouldn't.

As Bradford began to sign back in all his equipment,  he saw a familiar name on the log.

"What is she doing here?" Tim pointed at her name.

"ICE brought her in, pending deportation. Her employer has 24 hours to present her proof of citizenship or she has to leave," the other officer said.

"How long ago was that?"

"16 hours ago."

Tim nodded his head as he walked out into the direction of the cells and saw Maria sitting their alone. She looked up and saw him, only to roll her eyes and shake her head.

"I'm pretty set on visitors today thanks."

"You shouldn't have any since you're being detained. Who came to see you Maria?"

"Kiss my ass."

"Look I see this one of two ways, you can sit here and let them take you. Or you can help me and I can get you out."

"Why would you help me?" Maria asked cautiously .

"Because you can give me Rio. You give me Rio, I give you freedom."
