Skyler's Chance

Secrets

"Well Marcus, we meet again." Zobelle states, smirking and shaking Alvarez's hand. "What about Darby, Ese? He's looking for his daughter. Do you know anything?" Zobelle shakes his head, "I haven't spoken to Darby. I have a daughter of my own and I can't imagine having her go missing. Come into my office, this won't be long." Pointing to the car, Ule opens the door for Alvarez as A.J. opens the other door for Zobelle. Then they both stand guard outside. Alvarez waits for Zobelle to start talking. "Darby has been a good cook and partner,but is there any chance you can take over ? With your cooperation and connections, we can expand the business even further out. Darby has his eyes set just on Charming, but I want more." "And if I do, what about Darby?" Alvarez asks, while contemplating whether he should still trust this man or not. After all, Nazis are well known racists and he knows Zobelle's men don't always agree with working with the Mayans. Something feels off. "Darby will just have to move along. I'm not going to keep this offer on the table much longer. So let me know." Alvarez nods and shakes Zobelle's hand. "I'll be in touch." Climbing out of the car, he walks over to his bike, climbs on and the Mayans leave. A.J. slides into the driver's seat as Zobelle watches the Mayans leave. "Drop me off at home, then go check on things at the lake house. I don't trust the moron you left there with Skyler. Make sure you have Darby come as well."

Happy is losing his patience with Phil, and is nearly ready to end his life, but Kozik stops him. "Easy man, you'll get your chance. We need to find her first." Happy glares at Kozik but he knows he's right. Taking the knife off Phil's throat, Phil coughs and cries again, "Please, I don't know where she is. I'm sorry." He sputters as he spits out blood. Chibs is hovering behind Juice as he is trying once more to track Skyler's phone. A ping sounds from his laptop, and he sees it. Her phone came on on the outskirts of the next town, by the lake. "Guys, her phone is on. This has to be where she is." Chibs walks from behind Juice and back up to the pool table. "Aye, is tha' true, arsehole?" Phil shrugs and refuses to answer. Chibs can't hold back his anger, grabs the drill on the table and starts to drill a hole in Phil's thigh. Screaming in agony, Kozik stuffs a rag in Phil's mouth as Chibs pushes the drill bit into his leg and pulls it back out. Phil shakes his head and Kozik pulls the rag out. "Ok, ok, please I can't do this anymore. She's there. I don't know if she is alive. They wanted me to plant the bomb and kill anyone left behind after you were all arrested. They were going to kill her and her dad. I was going to leave tonight. Please. That's all I know." Kozik looks at his brothers, as Juice walks over to the pool table. "Everyone else is in jail. We need to do this tonight before they kill her." Thinking they will let him go, Phil pleads, "I'll give you the bomb code. Then can you let me go?"

Pacing the kitchen floor, Darby's cell rings and he jumps at the noise. Picking it up, he answers it before even seeing who the number is. "What?" Alvarez realizes Darby is worried about his daughter so he lets the tone slide. "Did you find her?" Darby's tone softens a little, "No, did you hear anything?" Alvarez hesitates before replying,"No, we asked around. Nothing." Darby hangs up, grabs his keys, and heads out to Charming. The Sons would probably kill him if this was a different scenario, but he needs to find Skyler. After passing by the Welcome to Charming sign on the edge of town, he braces himself for the confrontation. Placing his pistol on the front seat as he pulls into TM, and parks his car. Taking a deep breath, he climbs out and head into the clubhouse. Stopping in his tracks, he sees a big man laying naked on a pool table, bloody, but conscious. Before he can look at the other faces around him, he feels a pistol pressing into his temple. "You're a long ways from home, Darby." Juice growls through gritted teeth. Darby raises his hands, "I'm looking for my daughter. I can't find her and I heard she was here. Please, I need my babygirl. Please." Juice glances at Chibs, who nods at Juice. Keeping the gun to Darby's head, but not pressing it, he waits for Kozik to finish checking Darby for weapons. "He's clean."

Not wanting to waste more time, the Sons fill Darby in and explain the nights events. Happy is still eager to torture Phil more, but maybe later. Time is running out and they need to find Skyler. "I want to go with you." Darby demands. The Sons glance at each other, Chibs taking charge, "Aye, but ya fuck up, it's your arse. We luv ya daughter like our own." Darby nods, getting angrier by the minute. "Let's go get her." Untying Phil, Happy points his pistol at him as Phil gets dressed. Kozik ties Phil's hands behind his back, and they lead him to the back of the van. Juice carefully sets the backpack containing the bomb between the front seats as Darby climbs in to keep an eye on Phil, even though he wanted to shoot him right then. But it'll have to wait. His phone starts ringing, Alvarez's name flashing across the screen. He ignores it, but Alvarez calls again, and again. Darby relents and picks it up. "This isn't a good time, Marcus." He barks. "What?......You cannot be serious....Ok,Ok.....Yea, I'll talk to you later." Just as Juice drives out of the TM lot, Darby kicks Phil in the face. "If anything happens to my daughter, I'll gut you slowly." Phil starts crying, spitting blood. Turning to Juice, Darby growls through gritted teeth, "Change of plans."
