This Is...A Happy Home

Ten!

The sun rises on the last morning of our trip in Ireland. I am so glad to be going back home to Charming. It is a long journey, but worth it. We say our goodbyes to Maureen and Trinity, before going with the lads from SAMBEL back to the plane. Boarding the plane for the last felt relieving that this trip is over. It has been a long time coming.

Arriving back in Charming, I feel overjoyed. Home sweet home. Everything can start going the way it should be. Jax and I still have some loose ends to tie up to do with Stahl. What we did not know is that Tara had been kidnapped, and held hostage. I enter the clubhouse parking lot with the lads that went to Belfast with us. The lads who stayed behind cheered and clapped as we go to park up our Harleys. I smile at them knowing this is the life. This big family may be filled with danger, but I wouldn't change them for anything else. Gemma wanted a word with me and Jax in her office, so we follow her. "So what's happening now?" she asks intrigued. "We wait and see, I mean everything is going to be fine. We will explain everything, just not right now," I tell her. Gemma sighs not wanting to hear that kind of answer. She wants to know everything now. "You have to keep trusting us," I say as I kiss her cheek. She smiles slightly knowing she is trying her best.

Shortly after our chat with Gemma, Jax and I go to our meeting spot to see Stahl waiting for us. We walk over to her. "Welcome back, I am guessing you two had a good trip," she says, whilst giving us a smug look. "Guess we did," I say as I look at Jax, before looking back at Stahl. Stahl smirks at us, she knew Gemma went with us. "You do realise Gemma has added fugitive to her crimes," she tells us. I smirk back at her, "And you're going to find a way to let her off on that, in fact make it disappear," I say. Her smirk becomes bigger thinking she has the upper hand. "Won't be that easy princess," Stahl says. I frown at her as she calls me that. "I am not a princess, I'm a motherfucking queen," I growl at her. Jax is not happy about this at all. "Oh come on we made a deal," he interrupts. Stahl looks at him, "I know we did, and I will keep my end. As long as you keep yours," she tells us. I hate this bitch so much. "Oh we will," I say knowing I always make sure to go through with the plans I make. Jax smirks glad Stahl will her end of the deal. We go to walk away from Stahl, Jax's phone rings. It is Tig.

"Tara has been kidnapped," I overhear Tig telling Jax. Who and why? Those were the first two questions running through my mind. Stahl overhears as well, "Maybe me and my team could come along and help out," she says. I give her an "Are you crazy?" look. If the rest of the lads see me and Jax pull up with the FBI agents behind us, we are going to be toast. "You sure?" Jax asks. Shocked at what I am hearing, I turn my head so fast to look at Jax. I give him the same look I gave Stahl. "I mean sometimes you can't do these things alone," Stahl says meaning what she said to him about wanting to help. "Okay well, thanks," Jax says amazed Stahl volunteered to help, when they are on opposite sides of the law. "You better not try anything," I say to Stahl as we go to head to the hostage sight. I don't know if I should trust her or not. She is like a slippery snake, who can slip through fingers anytime if we don't keep watch. Jax too isn't sure whether he should trust Stahl or not.

At the hostage sight, Stahl's team try to get demands from the person keeping Tara hostage. "Turns out he wants an escape, some money, and you," Stahl turns round and tells Jax. Jax looks at her a little stunned, "Why me?" he asks not understanding why Salazar wanted Jax as one of his demands. I did not have a good feeling about this. "Because you're Tara's lover," Stahl explains. I shake my head thinking this is a bad idea. "No he will kill Jax," I tell her wondering if this is her plan after all. Take away one of the Teller siblings, then plan to get rid of the other. "Not up to you," Stahl says, making me glare at her. Not up to me? Does she know who the fuck I am? "I will do it," Jax says knowing he needed to get Tara back. "No, Jax it could be dangerous," I say. Stahl hands Jax a bullet proof vest and he puts it on. "I need to do this Lex," Jax says knowing he can't lose Tara when he just got her back. I sigh, seeing he isn't going to back down from this. True love causes insanity I swear. "Fine, but one sign of you in immediate danger, I am coming in there to pull you out," I say, "Understand?" I ask. Jax nods his head, "Okay, I understand," he says. I kiss his cheek and watch him walk in to the building. I begin to feel so much paranoia hoping he will be okay.
