The day goes by slow for Corrie as she's at the gallery. Her last few orders are finished and ready for collection. She's distracting herself to think of her deteriorating relationship with doing administrative shit.

"Corrie, there's someone to see you" Diana walks into her office, "Who did you piss off?"

"What?" The blonde asks confused

"That lady's a DA or something" Diana says causing Corrie to freeze.

"Oh my God" Corrie whispers and nods her head, "Thanks Di"

"Are you okay?"

"I-I think so" She gives her assistant a strained smile and walks into the foyer.

"Mrs. Corrie Teller" A black woman stands up from the couch. She shakes Corrie's hand. "My name's Tyne Patterson, I'm a District Attorney"

"Can I help you?"

"I'm investigating the shooting at the Catholic school"

Corrie's incredibly nervous but she doesn't let it show. "How can I help with that?"

"Your husband is the president of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, I have reason to believe that the gun Matthew Jennings used to shot up the school was a KG9. The same firearms the MC was selling to the IRA"

Corrie's insides are crawling, her palms are sweaty. She's never been a good liar.

"I don't know my husband's business"

Patterson scoffs, "I believe you have a kid Corrie, your husband is in a very dangerous line of work that can possibly harm your family. It's time to think of your son"

"I always think of my son"

"Then you'll tell me what you know"

Corrie scoffs, "Like I told you, I don't know my husband's business. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to get back to work"

Corrie drives off to the gallery after picking up Abel from school. She sighs loudly when she sees Jax sitting on his bike waiting for her.

"Daddy" Abel yells, running to his father when Corrie parks the car. Jax gets off his bike and hugs his son tightly. "Hey buddy, how was school?"

"Good" The little boy chirps, "I made the little league Baseball team daddy!"

"That's amazing buddy. I'm proud of you" Jax kisses his forehead, "You let me know when you have practice and I'll take you"

"Thanks daddy" He grins. "Mama, can I go play?"

"Yeah buddy" The little boy runs into gallery. Jax looks at her, "I heard the DA came to visit you, when were you going to tell me?"

Corrie scoffs, "You're spying on me now?"

"Did you say something to her?"

Corrie scoffs and walks into the gallery. He follows her, grabs her arm and spins her around. "Answer me Corrie"

"I didn't tell her anything" Corrie growls, "I would never rat out this club. I know what happens to women who do"

Jax smirks dangerously; he stalks up to her startling her slightly. "What did she want?"

"She wanted to know about the Catholic school shooting and that boy. I didn't tell her anything"

"Good" He voices, the tone of his voice is menacing. "Because like you said, you know what happens to women who rat."

Corrie's heart does somersaults, her insides are gnawing in her stomach. "Are you threatening me Jackson?"

He smirks cruelly but walks out of the gallery. Corrie finally lets out the breath she's been holding in as tears form in her eyes. She never thought their marriage would be so awful.
