Mass Destruction

Chapter 23

Jax is still asleep when I get up to check on Abel. It's still early, the clock read 7am. A knock on the door startles me, I grab the gun Jax keeps in the kitchen drawer and walk up to the door. "Corrie, it's me" I hear Juice's voice and I sigh out in relief. I unlock the door and come face to face with Juice. I haven't seen him in a long while, he wasn't at the party last night. Jax doesn't want to say anything about Juice, so I have no idea what's going on.

"Hi Juice. Jax is still asleep, I'll go w-"

"It's not necessary. Do you mind if I play with Abel a bit?"

I smile, "Sure."

He smiles and walks into the living room, "I'll go get him, be warned, he's very energetic this early"

Juice chuckles but he seems off, "It's fine"

I pick up Abel and walk him over to Juice, "Your uncle Juice is here bubba, he wants to play with you."

"Are you okay Juice?" I ask him as he grabs Abel. He nods, "Yeah, I'm fine"

"Alright" I don't really believe him but I won't push him. "I'll make you coffee"

Jax is awake when I get back to the bedroom. He gives me a sleepy smirk as I crawl on top of him, "I don't like waking up alone" he whispers, I grin and kiss him, "Sorry snoozy but your son had other ideas"

"I need you to make it up to me" he says and pats my ass. "I'd love to, but Juice is here"

Jax's entire demeanour changes, "What's he doing here?"

"Playing with the kid"

Jax nods, something's off with him, he's never this tense when the guys come over. "I'll go join him"

I smile and nod, "I'm going to take a shower"

Jax groans, "You can't shower alone!"

I laugh, "Oh but here I am, getting into a shower and you can't stop me" he glares at me, "You're playing dirty"

I smirk, "Oh yes I do"

"I'll get you back for this Corrine"

"I can't wait Jackson"

Jax's POV

I walk into the living room and find Juice playing with Abel.

He was never the smartest tool in the box, but I really thought Juice was loyal. He turned rat the moment shit got bad. He killed a brother; he stole from us, he ratted on us. I want to give him another chance, but he's going to work for it.

"You want coffee?" I ask him, he immediately stands up from playing with Abel and follows me into the kitchen.

"Corrie gave me some, thanks" He says. I nod and continue looking for a mug, every time Corrie is on her period she moves shit around. She changed the living room last time, now the kitchen. She better stay out of my garage.

"What's up?" I ask the Puerto Rican

"I know you know... Eli told me, told me to split"

"I've got no place to go Jax, no friends; no family. Things will turn to shit wherever I go"

I pour hot water into the mug I found and pour some milk into it, followed by sugar. I continue saying nothing, letting him sweat a bit. I don't really feel sorry for him. He had a family with us, all he had to do was stay loyal.

"I know about the leverage. Chibs told me."

"He knows" Juice whispers in realization

"Him and Bobby, why don't you tell me?"
