Failed Attempt

The clock struck 1am. 5 more hours until Bayley and Rei were being shipped to Ireland. It was a restless night for the single mom, filled with stress and paranoia. She had never been out of the states and had no idea what to expect the moment they moved to Ireland.

Bayley felt her eyelids getting heavy. They started to droop down until she began to finally fall asleep. Unfortunately, her much needed snooze was cut short by the sound of a rumbling engine. Her eyes shot open when she recognized that the rumbling wasn't from a car or truck.

Daryl and Scarlett rushed into the room. "They're here!" Her aunt almost screamed.

Rei shot out of bed and started to cry because of everyone's reactions to Tig and Jax being outside. Bayley picked her up, "Shhh Shhh..." She hushed, patting Rei's back. "It's okay."

Daryl grabbed Bayley by the arm, "C'mon, hide in the attic. Make sure to keep her quiet."

Scarlett followed behind them, making sure to not leave any evidence that Bayley was ever there.

Bayley had Rei on her back as she climbed up the ladder. Once they were settled, Daryl locked the door.

They both jerked their heads when they heard knocking. Slowly Scarlett proceeded to open the door. "Hi." she forced a smile onto her face.

Jax and Tig tried to be civil with this woman. Tig got right to the point, "We believe you have something of ours."

"I'm sorry." Scarlett began shutting the door, "You're mistaking me for someone else."

Jax put his hand in the way, "We know you're hiding Bayley and Rei in there. All I want is to take them back to Charming so things can go back to normal."

Scarlett tried not to let it show that she was intimidated by the bikers. "I don't know who those people are." She shut the door again but this time Tig swung it back open, being more aggressive.

"Look lady, I'm usually not this much of a nice guy. I'm giving you a chance to hand over the girls and we'll be on our way."

It was obvious that they knew Bayley and Rei were somewhere in the house. Scarlett found no point in lying anymore. "If I don't hand them over... Then what?"

"Then..." Jax stepped forward, being a foot into the house, "You're going to force us to raid this place until we find them." he threatened.

Daryl walked behind his wife with a loaded shot gun in his hand. "You guys better back up on out of here before things get ugly."

There was a crack of wood coming from the back of the house. "What the hell was that?" Scarlett asked.

Walking down the hallway was Rat tugging Bayley by the hand with a crying Rei being carried by him. "They were in the attic."

Rei was crying even louder and screaming for her mama. That was up until she saw Jax. "Jax!" She squealed, reaching her arms up motioning that she wanted to be carried by him. She had no idea that she was in danger. Every time she was with Jax, it always meant something good. This time was no different in her mind.

Rat handed her over to him, "Hey, sweetheart." He bounced her up and down in his arms. "What are you doing here? Mommy take you away for a vacation?"

"Ireland!" She babbled. "Ireland! Ireland! Ireland!" Rei cheered in excitement. She had no idea what her mother, aunt, and uncle meant by Ireland. She was just repeating what she had heard.

Tig tapped his lip, "Huh, that's where you were planning on running off to."

Bayley ripped her hand out of Rats and punched his arm. "OW!" He rubbed his soar arm. "I just did what I was told."
