Rewind

Chapter 14

The first thing Macy did, before Opie was even in the police cruiser, was call her father. She tries to keep calm, as she's always seen Gemma, but her words were sloppy and the sobs unavoidable.

"Daddy you have to do something!"

"I can't," he said, his feeling of powerlessness manifesting as anger. "I'll call Rosen first thing."

"Fuck," Macy hissed. Hanging up the phone she jumped out of the truck and limped over to Hale. "What are you arresting him for?"

"Arson," Hale told her.

"Arson? Are you nuts?" Macy scoffed. "He was with me all night at the clubhouse."

"You sure? My eyewitness has a much different story," he said smugly.

"Fuck off," she grumbled. "Ope," she said loudly, "We're gonna get you out."

Hale shook his head.  "You're a good kid, Macy. Try not to get lost in your family's mess."

"You don't know shit about my family," she hissed.

With a disappointed sigh, Hale shook his head and turned to head back to his car. "You know what to do."

Macy stormed off, nose up and trying her hardest to seem unshaken but she still watched from the windows as they finally drove off.

After worrying herself to sleep, Macy woke up late but still somehow painfully tired.  She didn't bother with a shower and once out of bed she immediately raced to get to the clubhouse.

When she hurried inside she saw Clay and Jax talking to Rosen by the chapel doors.

"What's the word?" She asked forcing herself into the conversation.

"Arson," Clay grumbled.

"I don't think it'll stick," Rosen told her. "They don't have much."

"Hale told me they have an eyewitness," she said quickly.

"An eye witness as of last night? That's fast," he said, curious as to what that could mean.

"They were on a goddamn chase from Oakland to Charming," Clay snapped.

"They didn't say they have a witness, so they don't want me to know and that means they don't want you to know," Rosen mused.

"They were never together," Jax said as he pieced it together in his mind. "Opie and Kyle, yeah, but Tig never caught up with them."

"And Opie was home when he got picked up," Macy said.

"Someone gave him up," Rosen said ominously.

"It wasn't Tig," Clay said sternly.

"No way," Macy said, "It wasn't Tig."

"Hobart?" Jax said, unwilling to believe it. "You're real quick and real sure," he said to Clay.

"You think Tig would rat on a brother?" Clay snarled as he leaned into Jax's face

"Hey," Bobby saw the bubbling confrontation and swiftly intervened. "We need to stick together."

"I need to not hear any of this," Rosen said. "They won't get an affordable bail but I'll try for it," he explained. "When I hear about any court dates I'll let you know."

"Thanks," Clay said, waking Rosen out.

"How long?" Macy asked Jax. "Did Rosen say how long?"

Jax sighed. "He's not sure but probably anywhere from 2 to 6 years."
