Looking for the Truth

"Are you sure this is something you want to do right now?" Jax asked Liv.

She nodded "I want to see them."

Jax helped her into Opie and Donna's house.

They entered the dining room to see Mary. Opie's absent mother.

"It's good you're here, Mary." Jax gave her a concerning look as she embraced him.

"Olivia," Mary wiped her tear, "It's good to see you." Liv nodded as well holding back some tears.

"Where's Ope?" Jax asked.

"In the back with the kids." Mary replied.

The two approached Opie. Liv gave him a big hug "I'm gonna go talk to them".

"Thanks" Opie nodded.

Jax pulled a chair to sit next to Opie "How they doing?"

Jax gestured towards the kids swinging in their little play ground.

"She's crying a lot. Kenny still doesn't get it." Opie looked up "Boys".

"Liv'll help. So will I. Anything you need." Jax looked at him and then at Liv who carefully crouched down in front of the kids. She spoke softly and slowly as if to make sure they took it all in. The kids got off their swings to hug her.

"She said this would happen." Opie spoke up.

"This isn't your fault, Ope."

Opie raised his voice "A banger shot my wife."

He rose up and went after the kids. Liv found her way back to Jax and walked off.

"You'll be okay?" Jax helped her through their door.

"Yeah" She gave him a soft smile.

"My mom will come check on you and bring you food." Jax reassures. "I'll be back."

He kisses her head.

"Jax," She called him before he put his helmet on.

"Who did this?" She asked.

He shook his head "I'm not sure but I'm not going to stop until I kill whoever did it."

But before she could say anything he rode off. Liv felt a cold shudder run down her spine.

Back at Teller-Morrow Mechanics, Clay got new intel.

"Dog, Petey, beat it." Tig sent the mechanics out of the garage as Juice pulled down the garage gate for privacy.

"We gotta get the witness." Clay says.

"Kill him?" Juice questions.

"All rats deserve to die." Tig answers.

"This is how we save Bobby and Opie." Clay speaks up.

"We do this tonight. They're burying Donna tomorrow. That family can't take another blow." Jax adds.

He then receives a call, "What?"

"Umm, Piney is about to go into a bar. The cars around it have Niner logos." The prospect answers.

"Shit, follow him. We'll be right there." Jax orders.

"Piney is going after the Niners." Jax tells the others.

"Crazy old kook." Tig mutters.

"Jesus Christ, go after him." Clay sends Jax and Chibs.

While negotiating Piney's life with the LeRoy, the president of the Niners, they are told that it wasn't them who shot Donna. Jax is inclined to believe them.

They walk out of the bar alive.

Jax then visits the police department. He approaches Unser "Anything on Donna?"

"No, sorry" Unser walks off.

"No leads? No nothing?" Jax follows.

"Come with me" Hale stops him.

Jax follows desperate for answers. "You know something?"

They stop inside the cells.

"I remember seeing you, Jacob and Opie in high school. Always together inseparable." Hale stared.

"This is starting to feel a little gay." Jax tells him and could basically hear Liv's giggle at his comment.

"Now, I knew about this but withheld this information. Stahl framed Opie as the rat." Hale took a beat "I think Clay found the tracker in Opie's truck and killed Donna and almost harmed your baby and Olivia in the process."

"Why are you telling me this?" Jax snapped.

Hale stood "We've had our differences but I think going after Opie's wife. Leaving their children motherless. Almost killing Liv and the baby in the process doesn't sit well with both of us. I knew her parents. They were good people. They wouldn't have wanted her in—"

Jax kicked the cell and yelled in frustration. Hale walked off. Jax now lethal exited the department.

He then received a call from Liv.

"Hey," he answered.
"Blue. I think it'd look good in the room." She said.
He let out a breath suddenly feeling calm at the sound of her voice. "Get any color you want, babe. I'll take care of it."
"In that case, I think magenta would look great." She teased.
Jax chuckled "Our boy isn't gonna come out a fruit."
He imagined Liv's eye roll. "Did something happen? You sounded angry."
"Gotta go" he quickly hung up. He couldn't put her through more stress.

As soon as he got to Teller-Morrow, he went looking for Clay but instead found Gemma in the office.

"Clay here?" He asked.

"No, why?" Gemma tensed up realizing he knew something.

"Tell him I'll be in the chapel." Jax ordered.

"Jackson," she called but he was already gone.

Jax was lighting a cigarette as Clay walked in.

"You looking for me?" He questioned and sat at the head of the table.

"Two days ago you sat there. You made me a promise. Told me Opie was safe. Now, I'm asking you. Brother to brother, father to son. Just tell me the truth, and I'll accept it. Whatever it is. Just be honest with me. Did you try to kill Opie? Kill Donna by mistake? Almost kill my son and my old lady by mistake?" Jax' voice rose at the very last part.

Clay sighs "I don't know who's been filling your head with this shit, son. I'm gonna tell you again. I love Opie, loved Donna. I love Olivia, as if she were my own. That's my grandson in there. I'd never do nothing to hurt 'em."

Jax gets up to leave before he pulls a gun on Clay not believing anything he just spit out.

Clay speaks up "This is a rough time for SAMCRO. But we'd better put this shit behind us. Suspicion, resentment? That kind of shit eats up morale, fractures a charter."

"Yeah..it's true." as Jax slams the door to the chapel shut he runs into Juice who is teary eyed.

"What's up?" Jax asks.

"The witness. She's a fourteen year old girl, Jax."

"Jesus Christ," Jax throws his leather onto the counter.

"Jax, where you goin'? Jax!" Clay screams as Jax officially leaves the club house to keep his brothers from murdering a young girl.
