Call of the Wild

Unsafe feeling

Don could tell there was something up with Kalila when she came in to work. When asked about it, she just said she was thinking about leaving town. He seemed shocked and asked her why. After all, she'd just bought a new car and started renting a new house. She simply said she wasn't feeling safe around town. He frowned but said nothing as she walked to the women's locker room to change for the day.

Don headed to his office. He didn't want her to leave town. She was his best instructor. She was popular with their patrons. She was even more reserved than usual throughout the day. When Jax entered the building, Don waved him over.

"What's up Don?" Jax asked as he came to a stop by the shop owner

"Just a heads up... Kalila was talking about leaving town." Don replied

"What?! Why?" Jax asked, shocked

"I don't know. When she arrived she was in some sort of funk. Said something about not feeling safe around town." Don shrugged

Had something gone down without them knowing about it? Why would she say that she's suddenly not feeling safe around town?

"Is... is she giving lessons?" Jax questioned

"Yeah. She should be ready for your private lesson soon." Don replied before he was called away to help with another patron

Jax immediately whipped his phone out to make a call.

"Everything alright, son?" Clay questioned

"Kalila is thinking of leaving town!" Jax exclaimed

"Why?" Clay asked as he put the phone on speaker

Tig and Bobby looked at one another. What was going on?

"Ask your wife! She started firing question after question at her after we signed the papers on the car at the diner." Jax explained looking around him, "Apparently she told Don she wasn't feeling safe around town."

"What should we do about it?" Bobby asked

"I don't know. I'm going to try to talk to her during class. See if I can't see what's going on or change her mind." Jax replied

"Could it be those other bikers?" Tig asked

"That's all I know. Listen, I gotta go. It's time for class." Jax stated before hanging up.

He went to change clothes and put up his stuff. She wasn't in the room like she normally was when he arrived. Did his mother really bother her with all those questions? Had she figured out about them bugging her house? She seemed so relaxed and friendly when she'd arrived at the diner. Was smiling and friendly even during the signing of the paper's. Her demeanor didn't change until Gemma had started badgering her with questions. Was she running from someone or something? Was she undercover?

Kalila didn't even greet him as she entered the room. He could immediately tell something was off. She started the warm-ups, so he remained silent and followed along. Before she started on the actual lesson, he stopped her.

"Kalila, are you alright?" Jax softly questioned

"I'm fine." She quickly retorted

"You don't seem fine. I'm sorry if my mother invaded your privacy with all the questions." Jax stated

"It's fine, really." She stated, turning around to get her bottle of water

"Don told me you were thinking of leaving town. Can I help with anything?" Jax said as he moved closer to her
