Going Home

Chapter 28

 Lowen watched as the Sheriff came through a set of doors with the same doctor and a nurse not far behind pushing a gurney with a patient with a sheet draped over it. He smirked seeing the Teller siblings following it, seemingly choked up. He stood from his seat and headed towards the elevator where they waited.

Jax draped an arm over Tasha's shoulders and whispered something into her ear. She nodded and tried to wipe away tears. Lowen revelled in the pain that was written all over her face. The same pain he felt years ago when he lost his father at the hands of the Sons. It wasn't how he wanted it to go but the end result was still the same.

He turned and made his way over to Steffan who stood once his boss was in his sight again. "We need to go." he said, taking his jacket in one hand and his briefcase in the other. Steffan agreed and headed for the elevator, but Lowen stopped him. "The stairs. We need to stay out of sight."

Happy groaned as Tig and Chibs helped him into the van. "Watch it, man." he growled. He looked over his shoulder to see Bobby in the driver's seat and Alvarez in the passenger seat. He never thought he would be so Happy to see Bobby.

Tig helped Sam into the van and sent Daniel with them. They were going to wait for Jax and Tasha, while a couple of the Mayans would be waiting for Quinn. Tig patted Bobby on the shoulder and nodded to Alvarez. "Get him back whole and take care of the girl. Jax wants you to get her to look over Juice too."

Bobby nodded before he looked over his shoulder at his passengers. "Everyone good?" he asked. At their ok he put the van into drive and headed out of the parking lot.

Chibs clapped Tig on the back and motioned for them to move towards their bikes. "C'mon Tiggy," he said as he pushed him towards the bikes. "We gotta keep our eyes open."

Tig sighed and rubbed his hands over his face tired. "After all this shit, I'm getting so fucked up and sleeping for a week." Chibs chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Jax and Tasha waited at the elevator with the doctor and Roosevelt. He could feel eyes on them and instinctively wrapped an arm around her. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of Lowen from the corner of his eye. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Lowen is on your left. Stay close." she nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes.

As the doors to the elevator opened Jax ushered her inside with the others. She pulled back the sheet to see Quinn asleep. She laughed as she smacked him on the forehead. "No sleeping on the job." she said loudly and laughed harder as his eyes shot open and his hand went to rub his head, a soft chuckle coming from the giant.

Jax couldn't hold in his laughter and let out a good laugh before they neared their destination. "C'mon, quit fucking around. We gotta look torn up." he reminded her.

Roosevelt couldn't help but smile at the way the siblings interacted with one another. He now understood their little unit after being surrounded by them all day. His guilt was eating away at him and needed to make it right."Jackson, I need to speak to the two of you before you leave."

"If it's to apologize, keep it to yourself." Tasha quipped before the doors opened to the morgue.

As they moved down the hallway towards the morgue, Roosevelt caught sight of someone that shouldn't be there and hung back. "What are you doing here?" he growled.

"I needed to see for myself that the Sons were falling apart and judging by the looks of things, their down a member."

Roosevelt couldn't keep a lid on the anger flowing through him and pushed the DA up against the wall. "That man would still be alive, if it wasn't for you."

"That's where you're wrong lieutenant. This just as much your fault as it is mine. Now unhand me and we can discuss our next move."

Roosevelt shook his head in disbelief as he let the man drop. "I'm done with this. This isn't what I signed up for."
