"Mr. Watergate, how are ya?" Clay asked the man in shackles before he and Jax. Lowen had not only gotten them inside the prison to meet with him, but also a private conversation without the cameras on recording the meet.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Tristan asked timidly.

"Calm down. We ain't here to hurt you. I hear you got enough people wantin' to do that as it is," Jax started before continuing,"We're friends of Elizabeth."

Tristan's face twisted at the mention of his daughter he had never known, but he nodded for them to continue.

"We think your old," Jax paused, looking for the right words to use,"acquaintances are fuckin' with her."

Tristan's face paled,"No, they don't even know about her, they can't."

"They gave her files on all of my men, plus they had copies of both of your daughters' birth certificates," Clay told him, leaning closer before speaking again,"Your other daughter just so happens to be one of my guys' old ladies." Clay didn't tell him that Donna had died for fear of him not giving up any information he may have.

"What's the deal man? You gave up one but kept the other?" Jax pried.

"I was deep in MS-13 when Elizabeth's mom got pregnant, but I was tryin' to get out. Her mom couldn't deal with the constant bullshit that came with it, so she left before Elizabeth was even born. I got out and started over. Me and my second wife had Donna, but I had a lot of character defects, too many for her to deal with. She took Donna away when she was about six. It wasn't long after that the police hooked me for some old murders I did for MS-13, and now I'm here," Tristan admitted.

"Look, we just need to know what we're dealin' with. This may blow back on our MC, and we need to be prepared. Plus, Elizabeth is more than likely in some danger too," Jax said, adamant to get some answers.

"You have to protect her, please. They'll hurt her just to get at me. These guys are ruthless but smart. They've never cared who they hurt," Tristan told them.

Clay exhaled,"How many guys we talkin'? Different charters or what?"

Tristan shook his head,"Their president is a guy named Louis Driskell. They're based in Washington, but they have contacts everywhere. Are you plannin' a war?"

Clay and Jax stood up. "We'll do what we gotta do to protect our club and the people close to us," Jax said before he and Clay were escorted out.

"You think he's tellin' everything he knows?" Clay asked as the two jumped on their bikes.

Jax nodded as his phone rang. Clay lit a cigarette while listening to Jax's end of the conversation.

"Shit," Jax said, hanging the phone up.

"What's goin' on?" Clay asked.

"Juice and Chibs were goin' to meet up with Happy and Tig in Lavern, and three SUVs ran them off the road. We gotta get to 'em," Jax said as he and Clay took off towards Lavern.
