Mass Destruction

Chapter 35

Jax meets up with Tig and Chibs in General Population again after talking to Corrie. He didn't tell her that Opie's dead. That would absolutely break her. She deserves to hear it in person.

"Talk to Pope?" Tig asks

"Give us a minute" he tells the curly older man. Him and Chibs walk to a secluded place.

"Deal is set with Pope. We'll be out tomorrow morning."

Chibs nods; clenching his jaw. The only reason this deal was made is because Opie offered his life for them and for this club. While everyone is happy that they're getting released – them losing a brother for it doesn't seem fair.

"Figure out who can do some favours here and find me the intel on that sergeant in solitary."

Chibs nods his head, "What about him?" he bobs his head in Tig's direction.

"He goes with us."

"How?"

"Send him over" Jax replies to the Scot's question and waits for Tig to come.

"I'm sorry Jax" Tig whispers, "I know it should have been me in the box"

"But it wasn't. I talked to Pope. The witnesses who saw you killing his girl goes away. You come with us."

Tig is utterly relieved, "You got me cleared?"
"Yes I did"

"Thank you man" Tig whispers

"It's not about thanks. From now on you back my every play; you support all of my deals and you never vote against me again."

"You got my word brother"

Jax nods and looks down; he's done with the conversation now. His best friend is dead; and he'll get everyone responsible for it eventually.

Corrie walks into Gemma's office. She hasn't heard from the older woman in a few days – nobody has seen her since Abel's birthday party which was three days ago. The last time Corrie saw her she smelled like alcohol and her eyes were red indicating she was as high as a kite. Corrie's not sure what's going on with the Queen but ever since she met that pimp at Diosa – Nero or something like that – she's been acting out and forgetting play times with Abel.

The blonde pulls out her phone to call Gemma when the familiar roars of bikes pull into the parking lot. Corrie forgets all about the matriarch as she walks outside, her heart hammers into her chest. She's about to see Jax and Opie again – and Tig and Chibs. She's about to touch her man; and kiss him. It's been a torture being away from Jax for so long. She can't wait to be in his arms again.

Corrie walks up to Jax, he's busy taking off his helmet when she pounces on him. The guys have all been acting strange towards her; none of them have really spoken to her since she got the call that Jax is getting released and now all she wants is his hugs.

Her heart starts beating loudly when she doesn't see Opie. She hopes he went to Lyla's place where Kenny and Ellie were currently at. They miss their dad so much.

""You're home" She whispers in his ear, his body remains stiff as he hugs her tightly. He kisses her temple. "Where's Abel?"

"With Neeta." She tells him, he's supposed to be with Gemma now but she forgot, yet again, about her time with her grandson. Corrie doesn't tell him that Gemma is MIA; the matriarch is far from her mind right this moment.

"I need to tell you something" Jax is about to break her heart, he's not sure he can do it but he knows she won't ever forgive him if she finds out from someone else that her brother is dead.
