Legacies

Chapter 12

Happy stormed out of the clubhouse and headed for Denni who was standing with Gemma and Tig. His mind was still racing as his strides got quicker. She saw him coming and rolled her eyes at him. Something he caught her doing alot lately. He didn't understand why she had to fight him on shit.

"Don't start, killer." She warned before he even had a chance to say anything.

Happy just dropped a quick kiss to her lips and looked around the lot. "Where's Kozik?" He asked.

"Cleaning his mouth out." Denni explained. "Big baby popped him in the mouth because he heard some truth."

It was Happy's turn to roll his eyes. "Let it go man. It's been years."

Tig was defiant and shrugged. "I'm not over it."

"While you asshats argue, I'm gonna fill Wayne in on what's going on." Denni huffed as she walked towards Unser's car as it pulled in. "Maybe he can help."

Happy watched her walk away seemingly ok. "She good?" He asked.

Gemma snorted. "Sweetheart, she's more than good."

“You really think running them all over Charming is going to help?” Tig all but yelled across the chapel.

“It’s better than gunning them down on the spot.” Kozik argued. “Brains before bullets.”

Denni’s head went back and forth like she was watching a tennis match between the two. “Will you two shut up for five seconds.” she finally yelled. “Christ you fight more than Pops and Precious.”

Jax choked down a laugh before his face went back to business. “So now that we know they’re in town, no more leaving the lot. You are officially locked down.”

“Well I figured as much.” she huffed, leaning back into the chair she’d been sitting in since they all got back. “Those are the assholes Lou used to send into the bar to collect… and that fat one is the father of the guy Happy dropped outside of the bar.”

“Who’s Lou?” Clay asked.

“He’s the boss man who I had to pay off every week to keep running books. He started wanting more and hated the push back I was giving him.” she explained.

Clay’s brows knitted at her explanation. “Why didn’t Tacoma have your back?” he asked.

Happy stepped up to answer that. “We have no say in what happens outside of Tacoma,” he explained. “She ran books outside of city limits to keep under the radar.”

“The bar I work out of is just outside of Tacoma. So for Lee to come with guns blazing, is like you all running into Mayan territory.” she explained. “Besides, It didn’t start to become an issue until I started having to get more cash for the club.”

All eyes were on Clay. “How much did you actually hand over to the club?” Piney asked. His eyes never left Clay.

“The last time or all together?” she asked.

The silence was deafening in the chapel. The men of SAMCRO were each trying to calculate just how much they'd needed for the Irish and other expenses. As far as they all knew, they were flush and were profiting. It was Bobby who broke the silence, seeing as he was secretary. “We’ve been flush for months, Clay. We’ve been in the black since Arizona.”

“That was six months ago.” Jax huffed. “Where’s all the money?”

Clay stood from his seat at the head of the table and went to leave, only to have Happy and Kozik stand in his way.
