Shameless / Sandor Clegane

35. Jailbirds

Wildflowers / Gregor Clegane out now!

"Why would he give them a stolen car?" Sandor questioned. 

"He's a cunt and I want to bash his head in." Davina decided. "Oh!" She squealed running to them she held tight to Lip and Ian wrapping an arm around each of their shoulders. "Lets go home."

Davina glanced back at Tony as Fiona sulked off. She moved to him hugging him. 

"Whatever you did," Davina whispered. "Thank you." She kissed his cheek before catching up with her family. 

Davina was both exhausted and wired when they finally got home, her hand interwind with Sandors, the whole way home, Fiona realized she wanted that. Someone dependable. Steve was still AWOL. Steve put them in this position. Gave them a stolen car for their little adventure. 

"next time you need a ride somewhere," Sandor remarked. "Ask me." He requested. 

"I will take you up on that." Ian agreed. 

"did they give you a cavity search?" carl asked, Sandor chuckled as Davina ushered her brothers up the stairs.

 "no, we weren't there long enough. i think it was probably on the menu though." lip assured. 

 "see anybody get shanked?" carl asked.

"Oh my God!" Davina put Carl in a headlock. 

 "we were cuffed to a bench in a hallway most of the night, carl." ian told his little brother. Fiona knocked holding out towels. 

 "clean towels. you all need showers. you're rank." fiona said throwing the towels at them.

 "I'll go first." lip said walking out of the room, Davina sat down on his bed. 

"They take your belts and shoelaces so you wouldn't hang yourselves?" carl asked intrigued.

 "carl, go help veronica with dinner." fiona instructed.

 "I helped with breakfast." carl argued. 

 "you pulled out a cereal bowl." Davina corrected. "I dont think you can count that as helping, go."  Fiona led him out as Ian sat beside Davina.  

"Oh honey," davina cooed running a hand through Ians hair. He sunk into her side.

"It was stupid. It really was." Ian agreed. 

"No frank and mom are stupid. Unless you mean steve giving you a stolen car to cart around town. Yes that was very fucking stupid." Davina agreed. "Did you get it from Steve?" Fiona listened at the door her back pressed against the wall. She held her breath. "Ian, tell me." 

"Sorry dav." He whispered.

"Was it from Steve?" Davina demanded. 

"Yeah." Ian whispered. Davina nodded. 

"Kill that fucker." Davina hissed. 

"Hey Dav, before you go to jail for murder," Ian mused. "I'm gay." 

"I know." Davina agreed. "You think I didnt notice you checking out all my boyfriends in high school?" She mused. 

"You knew? I should have told you." Ian remarked. She touched his cheek. 

"Did you find him?" Davina questioned.  "Your birth father?" 

"Yeah I think so." Ian agreed. The only gallagher that had his life together it had seemed might have been his father. It would make sense, but Ian felt strange being there. 

"You want to go back? To your possible father not jail," she clarified "I will go with you. Put my good pants on and make a good impression?"

"No." Ian corrected because "I don't want to go live with him. I don't want to live in that big fancy house away from my favorite family." Ian corrected

"He wouldn't take you away. I wouldn't let him. I would make sandor beat him up if he tired." Davina added when he chuckled. "Im tough." She went on. "Sandor just has that more threatening I will make you bleed look."

"That's true." Ian agreed "but im okay. I got all the family I need. It was more for Lip. I think he really didn't want to be in this family after the whole Monica debacle." 

Sandor was working on his car, it was leaking oil, he had the hood up oil stained his arms as he fiddled with it when he heard Tony and Steve just two houses over. 

"Ian and Lip are in jail." Tony was saying. Sandor leaned back listening in. 

"They were driving a car that I stole." Steve admitted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Tony agreed.

" They told you?" Steve questioned offended.

"No, of course not; they're South Side."

Sandor had gotten used to south side. He liked in the all the prissy places, he liked south side loyalty. 

"You got to get them off." Steve begged.

"Yeah, and why's that?" Tony mused knowing Lip and Ian were already safe.

"'Cause they're innocent." Steve demanded.

" They didn't know they were driving a stolen car?" Tony questioned.

"I'll give you the house." Steve declared.

"What?"

"The house that I bought beside Fiona's. I'll give you the title; it's paid for. You get the charges dropped, it's yours."

"You paid for a house in cash?"

"It's a shitty neighborhood; I could have bought two." Steve agreed. Sandor looked around, it was a shitty neighborhood but he found his dream girl right next door, so this shit hole might as well have been heaven. 

"How many cars have you stolen?" Tony countered.

"Do we have a deal or not?"

"Nothing else is changed; you're gone. You don't see her, don't call, don't write. Disappear."

"I'm gone tonight."

"SANDOR!" Davina shouted. "Dinner, ass here now!" Steve and Tony glance to Sandor as he slammed down the hood of his car and headed to Davinas. Davinas gaze shifted. "Steve!" She shouted her tone suddenly filled with rage. 

"Best run boy." Sandor offered. 

"I'm so sorry-" Steve offered jumping in his car as Davina charged at him like a bull seeing red. 

"I will kill you!" Davina shouted. Tony grabbed her as Steve sped off. "I will kill him next time he shows his smug face on my block." Tony smirked letting her go. 

"Then lets hope he never comes back." Tony agreed. 

"You figured out what you're going to do to them yet?" Carl questioned.

"Huh?" Fiona countered.

"Punishment. Ground them for a year?" Carl suggested.

"Nothing. I'm not their mother." Fiona countered. Davina grabbed a plate. 

"I mean, we sort of are." Davina corrected. 

"So I can steal a car and nothing will happen to me?" Carl questioned giddy.

"You steal a car and I'll smother you in your sleep." Davina corrected. "Alright everyone grab a glass!" 

"To Chicago jurisprudence and adolescent misadventure."

"Cheers."

"Cheers!"
