Skyler's Chance

A Visitor

Skyler's in the office doing paperwork when Juice walks in with lunch. Sitting down at the desk, he hands her a sandwich and notices her phone ringing constantly. Since her back is to him, he peeks at the screen to see who it is. Dad. Darby to him. Skyler walks into the garage to give Tig paperwork for a repo when her phone rings again. Juice doesn't answer it, but he does pick it up to see if she talked to her dad at all. Noticing she ignored 12 of his calls, Juice quickly puts the cell back down on the desk, just as Skyler walks back into the office. Taking a bite of his sandwich, he tried to fill in the silence, "So, Tara gave us an update on Chibs. The swelling in his head has gone down but he's still under observation." She just nods as she nervously shuffles some papers. "They are hoping he can be released in a few days." He takes a bite of his sandwich, as she slowly unwraps hers. " What's on your mind, Sky?" She shrugs, " I hate that I can't go see him, but I know why Clay said no. Just hate the thought of him laying there, alone. I feel like I'm to blame for the bomb, like what if they know I'm here and it was meant for me?." She takes a small bite of her sandwich. After a few minutes of silent chewing, she looks at Juice, "You wouldn't be up for..never mind, won't work." "No, tell me." He looks up at her. She swallows her food, "I want to sneak over to St. Thomas. I just want to make sure he is ok. I promise I'll be in and out." Juice's eyes widen, "Oh hell no. No. Clay would have both of our asses."

Chibs was sleeping as Skyler and Juice slip in through the hospital room door. It's dark and quiet, she takes a quick look around to make sure no one is in there. Standing next to his bed with Juice staying back by the door, she holds Chib's hand and whispers to him, "Hey Chibby, Just wanted to make sure you are ok. I'll see you when you get out." Kissing his cheek, she turns to leave when he grumbles to her,"I'm gonna kick your arse." She turns back to him, "What? Why?" Without opening his eyes, he clears his throat, his voice hoarse, "Didn't Clay tell ya to sta' put at tha clubhouse?" She shakes her head, shit. "Yes. I'm going back now." Kissing his cheek again, the door opens and she expects a doctor, but Instead, a tall, light brown skinned woman with thick black curly hair walks in, glaring at her. "Who are ya?" She demands, in a thick accent that matches Chibs. Skyler is surprised, but before she could answer, Chibs wakes up and groans, " Wha' ya want, Fi?" "Jus' comin' to check on mah husband, love. Now, who is tha lassie?" She asks as she walks over to his other side. "We're leaving." Juice grabs Skyler's hand, as Fiona and her glare at each other.

Skyler puts the her hood up on her head as Juice leads her around the hall, still holding her hand. "Did you know he was married ?" She asks him. "Yea, I did. Never met her before and don't think I want to-shit." He grips Skyler's hand and pulls her in through a door, pushing it behind them. "What's wrong ? What the hell Juice." She jerks her hand out of his grip. "Ssshhhh, Gemma is coming up with hall with Tara." He peeks out the window of the door to see Tara and Gemma walk by, talking. Looking around the supply room, Skyler's phone goes off. "Shit, it's Clay. Thought you said they wouldn't notice." Juice's eyes widen, "I didn't say they wouldn't notice. I said you are going to get us in trouble. Come on, let's go." He quietly opens the door and they slip through it, and down the hall. She puts her sunglasses on, and grabs his hand, making it look like they are together. After they get into the black van, her phone rings, it's Clay again. She knows he will yell at her, but he will be more angry if she ignores it. But it's not a good time right now.

A.J. Is  sitting in the hospital parking lot, making phone calls and people watching. Waiting for Zobelle and his daughter Polly to finish whatever she was doing in the hospital, he offered to sit in the car as Ule went in with them. Their plans to start infiltrating Charming are coming together, even if A.J. doesn't like the Mayans, he is waiting for his chance to branch out on his own. Maybe he will push Darby out of the picture and take over the Nords. Billy is an idiot, but he's useful.and he can find more like minded people. Hearing the engine of a larger vehicle start up and he looks up in time to see a black van. Not thinking anything of it, he almost looks away, until something catches his eye. Or more like someone.

As Juice pulls into the TM parking lot, almost everyone is in the lot. One person who looks extremely pissed, besides Clay, is Jax, who wastes no time coming over to the van. As Skyler opens the door, she can barely get out before he grabs her by the hoodie and pushes her against the van. "What the hell, Skyler ? What are you thinking ?" She throws her hands up, knowing it won't help to fight back because she is out numbered. "I wanted to see Chibs." Jax is fuming, "For what reason? We told you he is ok." She takes a breath, "I don't know. I feel...I feel like I'm to blame. Like they know I'm here, or something. What if he didn't get out in time, or if it was someone else? What if....." she trails up, too upset to continue. Just then, an arm goes across Jax chest and the person pulls him back, "Come on VP, she's shaken up like the rest of us. I'm sure she didn't mean any harm." Jax still glares at her, but released his hands from her hoodie, allowing himself to be pulled back by this person. She looks at the person the arm belongs to- Kozik.
