Jax sat at the table with the guys, the container holding Bobby's eye sitting next to him as he stared at it.

"This does not get back to Holly. She'll come back with guns blazing and I do not want her or the kids in the middle of this. But we're gonna need backup for this shit. I'll call Pope and Jury. See if any of you can reach out to other charters. Pull bodies and guns."

He looked at his phone when it went off, cursing when he saw Holly's number, banging the gavel before going out to answer the call, lighting a cigarette.

"Hey, babe. How's the park?"
"It was too hot to do anything, so Lyla and I are getting the kids ready to go to the pool. But I got a weird call from Nero. Said something's going on with Wendy?"
"I don't know. She hasn't been on my mind lately."
"Will you check on her? Please? Or send someone to."
"Why do you care so much? She's a junkie."
"I think I might've put too much stress on her when I asked her to sign as the kids' guardian if something happened to us. I feel guilty."
"Alright. I'll pay her a visit. But you have no reason to feel guilty. She's the one that shot up again. That's not on you, babe."
"Thank you."
"Go swim. And take a pic of you in that bikini."

He smiled, hearing the smile in her voice.

"As long as you don't show it to anyone."
"Never. That'll be in my spank bank."
"I hate that phrase. So stupid."
"Fine. I'll jerk off to it every night you're gone."

He loved the sound of her laughter.

"Shut up, you idiot."
"Your idiot."
"I love you."

Jax looked at his phone, debating on whether or not to call Holly

Jax looked at his phone, debating on whether or not to call Holly. He wanted to hear her voice and get her advice, needing her to center him, but he knew she'd want to come home and help out. He wanted her to be home so he knew exactly where her and the kids were, but he didn't want her in the middle of all of this shit. He took a drag from his cigarette as he dialed Holly's number.

"Hi, baby."
"You guys in the park?"
"In a restaurant. The kids got hungry. How are things going over there? You any closer with Lin?"
"Yes and no. They took Bobby. Cut his eye out and sent it to us....."
"What??"
"I didn't want you to come home right now and be in the middle of this, so I didn't tell you. I know you're gonna want to come home but don't. Not yet. I don't want you involved in this."
"When did it happen?"
"Last night. It's when we got his eye."
"You can't keep this kind of thing from me."
"I need you to stay there. You and Lyla need to stay together. Ok?"
"Fine."
"I mean it, Holly. I don't want you or the kids to get hurt. So stay put. Let the kids have fun."

Jax laid in bed, letting Teddy cuddle up with him, listening to Holly tell him what the kids had done that day

Jax laid in bed, letting Teddy cuddle up with him, listening to Holly tell him what the kids had done that day. As glad as he was that the kids didn't seem to know what's going on, he couldn't bring himself to smile. He didn't know where Bobby was or how to get him home. But he needed to figure it out soon.
