The Mechanic

Part 10

It has been about a week since Abel had gone missing and we haven't got much information to work with. During the week that we have been trying to find information, Tig had to drive Gemma out to a hotel away from Charming as Agent Stahl has framed Gemma for the murder of Edmond Hayes.

Ever since Abel has been missing, Jax had been a mess since it happen and he hasn't really left Abel's room since it had happen. Tara blamed herself just as much as Jax blamed himself but Tara chose to stay and help Jax however she could.

Parking my truck in front of Jax's house, I walked to the door to already be greeted by Tara as I stepped inside the house.

"He's in the nursery. I've tried talking to him but he just stares straight through me and says nothing." Tara commented as I nodded in return.

Coming to the door of the nursery, I found Jax sat on the floor with a lit cigarette in one hand and a bottle of vodka in another as he leaned up against Abel's cot. Placing myself next to him, I put out his cigarette before nudging him slightly to let him know that I was there.

"Mind if I drink with you?" I asked as Jax silently passed me the vodka bottle.

"I let him down Letty. I thought I would be able to do this but clearly I can't, I just had myself fooled." Jax commented as I placed the vodka bottle to my lips.

"When we were kids, I remember you, Opie and I talk about when we were going to have kids and how they were going to be thick as thieves. I also remember you having this light in your eyes when we spoke about it, the same light that you have had in your eyes the second Nugget came home. I don't ever want to hear you say that you are a bad father because that is clearly bullshit." I stated

"A good father doesn't let their child get kidnapped" Jax muttered

"We both know that if you were here when it happened, that arsehole would be dead before taking Nugget." I spoke as Jax looked at me sheeplishly.

"I thought I told you to stop calling him Nugget" Jax smirked

"We both that is not going to happen" I smirked back

It was the first time I saw Jax have any sort of smile on his face in a long time and I am not ashamed to say that I have missed it.

"The guys are on their way over as they have information from Laroy. So it's best if you get in the shower before they come over." I informed Jax.

Jax slung his arm over my shoulder as I helped him up from the ground. Footsteps approached as I walked to the doorway with Jax as Opie met our view.

"Let me take over" Opie spoke as he took Jax from me.

Walking down the hallway, the guys were scattered around the kitchen drinking coffee.

"Hey Clay -- If is there anything you need me to do?" I asked getting everyone's attention.

"I want you to go back to TM as it is falling behind with Gemma being gone." Clay answered.

Saying my goodbyes to the guys, I headed back to TM.

--------------------------------

I had been back at TM for a while and I had just managed to catch up on the work in the office when I started to work on fixing some of the cars that had been brought in. Footsteps approached from behind me as I was in the middle of working on a car.

"My car needs fixing. Know any good mechanics?" The man called out as I began to shake my head.

"You best be joking!" I snapped as I began to face the man.
