Mass Destruction

Chapter 16

Corrie's POV

I sigh as my phone rings in my pocket, I have finished for the day, Diane is already home.

It's Opie calling me. What a nice surprise.

"Hey brother bear" I grin as I walk out of my office into the gallery.

"Corrie, it's pops"

"What about him?" I ask as I open the door to the gallery. A man in black pounces me, I let out a scream as he starts beating me.

"Corrie! Corrie!"

My screams get quiet when I feel the cold metal of a bullet going through my abdomen. Everything turns black, all the noise fade as I drift off.

A black and bruised Gemma walks out of the club house, Clay punched her to a bloody pulp after she confronted him about the money he took out of the safe today. She knows he's breaking his promise to her to not hurt Corrie. They had a long talk the previous evening, Gemma had a talk with Corrie and she said she won't ever rat out the club. Gemma relayed the message to Clay, and he told her he won't hurt the artist. But the matriarch knows the look in his eyes told a different story.

"Jax!" Gemma runs to him, she has to tell him about her suspicions so he can keep Corrie safe.

"Yeah? Jesus, what the hell happened to you?"

Gemma shrugs, "That's not important now. It's about-"

"Jax!" Opie screams as he parks his bike with haste, "It's Corrie, she's in trouble!"

"I've gotta go ma" Jax says as he, Bobby and Chibs follow Opie out to the gallery.

The men get off their bikes, each pulling out their guns when they see the front door busted open.

"I talked to her a few minutes ago. She was screaming and then there was a gunshot" Opie says as they walk to the gallery.

"Jesus Christ" Bobby bellows in shock when they walk in, the gallery is trashed, blood seep on the floor.

"Corrie!" Jax makes a beeline for her still body. She's bleeding out, but she has a faint pulse, "Call 911!"

Jax pulls her up in his lap as he tries to get the bleeding to stop. "Come on baby, wake up, wake up baby. Stay with me. Stay with me."

"Paramedics are on their way" Opie says with worried tears in his eyes, all the men look on with sadness and distraught.

"Stay with me baby. Stay with me" Jax whispers, the ambulance comes to a halt as paramedics rush into the gallery with Sheriff Rooseveldt and his men run in behind them.

"Jesus" the sheriff curses as he takes in the scene

For once the Sons and the Sheriffs agree on one thing: Corrie Winston did not deserve this.

Jax refuses to let go of Corrie as the paramedics attempt to get her on the stretcher, "Come on man, let them do their job. She'll be okay. It's Corrie, she's a fighter" Bobby whispers in his ear. Opie looks on in sadness and anger. Both his sister and dad have been gunned down by Clay. Unser told him that Clay killed Piney, and he's 100% sure Clay ordered the hit on his sister as well.

As soon as the paramedics take Corrie, Opie storms forward and pushes Jax, "Did Clay do this? Did you know?!" he screams, he doesn't even care that Rooseveld is in the gallery.

"No Ope. I don't know who did this!" Jax screams back, "I need to go with her"

"We'll get someone to take your bike, go" Chibs says and Jax rushes to the ambo. He gets in and sits down on the stool. He grabs Corrie's hand as tears fall down his face, "Stay with me. Think of Abel, he needs his mom. I need you. I'm going to marry you baby, I need you alive to do that"
