Holly sat on the bed and called Jax. Lyla was watching all the kids in her room so Holly could call Jax.

"Hey, babe. Are you ok?"
"My week's almost up out here. But as much fun as the kids are having, they miss you and their own beds. And I want to help you out with things."
"I don't want you in Charming right now, Holly. You or the kids."
"I get that. But you can't keep us away from home forever, Jax. And I can help you. At the very least, I can send Lin to Stockton. You can handle retaliation there."
"Holly......."
"I can't help you from here, Jax. And it's killing me to know that you all could get picked off so easily like this. Please let me help?"

She listened as Jax fell silent, waiting nervously for his answer.

"You carry and you keep someone with you at all times. Even if it's Nero or Unser. You don't go anywhere alone. It's non-negotiable. You got it?"
"I got it, baby. I promise."
"Fine. When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow after breakfast. Which means we should be home around dinner."

Holly walked into the house the next night, letting the kids go in and up to their room

Holly walked into the house the next night, letting the kids go in and up to their room. Laroy volunteered to stay with Holly while Rat escorted Lyla home. She brought the bags up to the bedroom before changing into comfy clothes and putting all the dirty laundry into the correct hampers, bringing a hamper downstairs to the laundry room before starting dinner. She was just about to plate up everything when she heard the door open, looking over to see Jax come in. When she went out to greet him, she stopped in her tracks when she saw that he'd been crying.

"Hey, Laroy? Why don't you head home?"
"You sure, boo? I don't mind staying."
"I know. And I thank you for that. But I'll be fine. Jax and I haven't seen each other in a week."
"Right. Call me if you need anything."
"I will. Thanks. Do you wanna take some food home?"
"No, it's fine. Good night, boo."
"Night, Laroy."

She walked him out before looking at Jax, closing the door behind her. She went over to him, sitting him down at the table, taking his hands as he started to cry.

"What happened, Jax?"
"Bobby's dead. We got his fingers last night. We set up a meet with Lin earlier today, planning to trap him and get him sent to Stockton. He turned over Bobby just to shoot him in the head."
"Oh shit....."

She sat down next to him, tearing up and closing her eyes.

"I can't believe he's gone...."

Holly walked into the courtroom with Jax and the guys, sitting down at her table with Jax, spotting Lin with his lawyer. She put the book she'd made for her case down in front of her, looking at Jax when he called her name.

"Isn't this a conflict of interest, Holly? Couldn't you get in trouble for this?"
"I might not be impartial, but I've been professional. That's why I've been working on this with Ally and Jason. Third parties as far as the law is concerned. Besides, I've worked with this judge before. He likes my ass."
"Is that why you're wearing that?"
"No. That wouldn't be professional. I'm wearing this because I like it."

She bit back a smile before looking over as Rosen came into the courtroom, watching as he sat down at the table. She went through her book, biding her time until the judge showed up. She gave the judge her book before they recessed an hour later, sitting down to wait for the judge to come back. When he did, she listened to him.

"Based off of all of the evidence I've seen against Mr. Lin, I'm granting the prosecution's request for life in prison. No parole. Court is adjourned."

Holly let out a sigh of relief, smiling as she heard the guys all cheer for her, shaking Jason's hand before walking out with Jax and the guys.

Holly walked into the bedroom after getting out of the shower, a towel wrapped around herself as she went to grab some pajamas, hearing Jax come in from putting the kids to bed, looking over at him

Holly walked into the bedroom after getting out of the shower, a towel wrapped around herself as she went to grab some pajamas, hearing Jax come in from putting the kids to bed, looking over at him.

"I called Precious and let her know about Bobby. She's gonna come down."
"I don't wanna talk about Bobby right now. I don't wanna think about anything right now."

She nodded, grabbing one of her nightshirts, only to be stopped by Jax's hands on her hips, feeling him pull her into him as he kissed her neck. She let him do whatever he wanted, knowing he needed this distraction. If truth be told, it had been a while for them, so there had been a part of her that had hoped for this with him. Not that she'd been hoping he'd be upset, but she missed having sex with him.
