I looked up from my position on the floor of the holding cell when I heard someone approach, I had had my fair share of visitors today, and Jax turning up here was no surprise. I knew that he would seek me out after the bullshit he had swallowed about Tara, although I was expecting him to say something hateful after all these years because of the thing he thought I had done, things I had gone out of my way to convince him of, I wasn't expecting him to cut me to the core when he told me that he was cutting me off from Abel. I had stupidly thought he held a little love for me after all these years as Abel's Mother that he wouldn't permanently take my child away. I guess it wasn't Tara pulling the strings on the custody order as I thought, when Jax looked into my eyes all I could see was hate. 

Eli stepped forward and I noticed Unser behide him, I wondered what that old bastard was doing showing his face here, after our history, I was shocked when he had stood there like a mute when Tara and Margaret accused me, Unser knew that I hadn't done it, deep down I know he knew that I had caused harm to that baby. He knew what I was capable of and what I wasn't. 

"You're free to go," Eli said as he opened the cell. I jumped up from my position and stepped out, although surprised I wanted out.

I looked at Unser who gave me a tight smile. "Let's get you outta here." I wasted no time in walking out of the station, I had waited enough time in there and if Tara hadn't pressed charges then she was surely up to no good. I claimed into the passenger side of Unser's truck as I shut the door it was quiet for a beat before Unser started to speak.

"I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I needed to make sure Eli didn't charge you."

"We had an agreement you keep your distance."

"Yeah, well things change."

"So you know that Tara lied."

"I didn't say that."

"Still bending the rules I see."

"It worked for you." Unser took his eyes off the road to look at me to get his point across and I sighed and turned to look out of the window. I didn't know how I ended up in such a mess, I had done my best to keep clean since my release and here I was up to my eyeballs in shit I had a feeling that things were going to get worse before they got better. As we drove through Charming, my eyes took in every familiar sight—Chuger Woods, the streams, our high school, and Walnut Grove Park, where Gemma used to take us as kids. A fond memory surfaced of Opie and Jax shoving Karl Collin's face into the sand pit for telling me to return to the reservation; from then on, the boys always stood up for me. However, my smile faded as we approached a street just blocks away from Jax and my old home, and my initial fear morphed into confusion when Unser parked his truck in front of a charming yellow single-story house two streets away.

"What are we doing here? Who's house is this ?"

Unser didn't answer he got out of the truck and walked around to the house moving up the drive my eyes landed on the Harley in the driveway and then on the unmistakable figure of my brother. Koa and Unser exchanged words before my older brother stomped up to the passenger door and swung it open. I closed my eyes and cursed under my breath.
