Going Home

Chapter 31

Daniel walked into the bedroom where Happy and Juice were resting in. He could see the frustration written all over Happy's face. He knew the role Happy played in the club and also knew that he was the most loyal to his club. He needed to bend his ear about all this. Needed to know he was doing the right thing.

"Juice, you think I can get a second with Hap?" he asked.

Juice nodded and smirked. "It's about time for my sponge bath anyways." he said as he hobbled out of the bedroom.

Happy shaking his head with his own smirk at his brother. He looked over to Daniel and noticed the look in his eyes. He braced himself for the worst. Feeling that sense of fear he hated. He didn't know what that felt like until he admitted his feelings for Tasha and seeing her on the floor with a bullet in her belly. He shook those thoughts from his mind as he watched Daniel sit at the end of the bed. "What's going on?" he asked, trying to make the words sounds as casual as possible.

Daniel sighed and looked away. "I'm trying to get my head right with all this shit. Trying to figure out my next move." he explained. He looked over at Happy who still held his gaze on him. "I made a meet with Potter."

Happy clenched his jaw as his body tensed. "What you thinking of doing?" he asked. "You know this shit ain't over. Even if the put an end to Lowen and his little buddies, Hale is still out there somewhere and the tape of Tasha taking down those men. This shit is a shit storm that he started."

Daniel nodded in agreement. "That's why I'm going to meet him. Put an end to all this shit. If I tell him that I've been looking into the Sons, then I have a chance for him to back off. But if I do that, it opens a whole new link to you guys. And what's to say he won't back off. But if I go over his head, bring everything that we've put together to the agency then maybe I can get it to go away."

"That's a pretty big if." Happy stated. "You play our hand right out the gate and he's gonna one up us. The guy is calculated. He's already dug into us before. He preys on our weaknesses. He proved all that with Juice."

Tasha walked away from the two lifeless bodies laying on the floor, running a shaking hand through her hair, only to feel the dried blood that was now caked onto her skin. She had never done something like this before and she didn't know whether to be happy, or scared. She was slowly slipping into the darkness that was swirling in her head. She looked over to Tig and Bobby and watched as they began to prep the bodies for disposal. Flashes of the actions she had just made running through her mind.

She was brought back to reality when Chibs came over to her with a bottle of water and some paper towels. "Here, love. Clean yourself up and go change." he said as he handed everything over to her. "Take this bag and wrap your clothes in it. We'll get rid of them when we get rid of the bodies."

She nodded and took everything that he had offered her. She felt numb and the one person she needed was miles away stuck in a bed with a tube hanging out of his chest. Sighing heavily, she blinked away the tears and did what she needed to, pushing away the darkness. "Don't break now." she said to herself as she washed off the dried blood as best as she could with what she had.

"You hear from any of them?" he asked Juice for the twentieth time.

Juice rolled his eyes and looked over to Hap. "Not yet. But it saves me from you asking again, I'm gonna call Tig." he said as he pulled out his phone, hitting the speed dial.

"What's up, Juicy?"

Juice put the phone on speaker and looked to Happy. "Hap's going a little crazy not knowing what's going on. Driving me fucking insane."
