Skyler's Chance

Enemies Within

Angel and EZ climb back into the suv, heading back to Oakland. "10k here, brother." Angel says, lighting up another cigarette. EZ nods, "Alvarez said she would put up a fight. Glad you thought of the handcuffs, and blindfold." "Yea man, but it wasn't easy. I didn't want to hit her, but damn she fucked my leg up with that cast boot she has on. I didn't want it to escalate, but I punched her." EZ just shakes his head, "Sucks but it is what it is. Zobelle has her, for now." Angel reaches over to the radio and turns it up, "Lets get the hell out of here."

Pulling against the ropes, Skyler can't help but think this time she won't survive. Maybe the Mayans lied and they are not helping the Sons bring down Zobelle. They just needed to give her back to him in order to stay in his good graces since he is the one pulling the strings on the heroin trade. The handcuffs Angel put on her wrists are too tight for her to slip out of, and the rope isn't much easier. Even if she was able to escape, she has no clue where she is. "Stop pulling, you'll just make it worse." Zobelle says from across the room. So far, he's been eerily quiet, no one else is there but the 2 of them. She doesn't answer him, just squeezes back the tears. Something still doesn't feel right about this.

Putting his hands up to his mouth to whistle, Juice yells to the other Sons as well as the Mayans to pull over. "What is it?" Jax asks, irritated. "The suv is gone." Juice waves his hand to the traffic passing by. "Shit, where are they ?" Jax turns to Alvarez, "This wasn't part of our deal. Where did your guys take Skyler?" Alvarez looks around, "I don't know Ese. This wasn't part of the plan." Turning to his guys, he points to 2 of them, "Call Angel and EZ, find out where they are." Juice goes into his saddle bag to pull out his ipad. Opie lights a cigarette, "What are you doing with that ?" Juice logins into his iPad, pulls up an app. "I put a tracker on Skyler. She has it in her hoodie, I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want anyone to remove it. This will give us her location." After a minute or so, the location pops up. "Ok, she's 4 miles outside of Charming, off a back road."

Alvarez turns back to his men, "No answers ?" The guys shake their heads. Alvarez turns to Clay, "Not sure what is going on, but they may have gotten stuck in traffic somewhere. I'll send a few of my guys to track them down. But we need to find her and get rid of Zobelle." Clay nods, "And if the 2 of them betrayed you, they will be dealt with, right ?" Alvarez nods, "If not by a Mayan, than by a Son." 3 Mayans take off towards Oakland as the rest turn around to follow the Sons, led by Juice as he carefully tracks Skyler's location.

EZ swings into the gas station by the pump. Hopping out of the drivers seat, he starts the gas pump as Angel climbs out. Both of them take off their cuts and lay them in the back seat. Heading into the store to grab snacks and smokes, Angel stops by the magazines, taking a quick look around. Assistant U.S. Attorney Lincoln Potter walks up and casually stands next to Angel. "The package has been delivered." Angel states, quietly. Potter nods, "And it was only the 2 of you?" Angel nods, "Yea but we had a deal." Potter nods again, "Indeed we did."He hands Angel an envelope, Angel glances into the envelope then shoves it in his waistband. As Potter turns to leave, Angel asks, "Who is Zobelle to you, anyways?" Potter just gives a small smile, "He's one of my men." With that, he leaves.

As EZ finishes filling the tank, his phone rings. Checking it, he sees Riz's name flash across the screen. He doesn't answer it, instead letting it go to voicemail before flipping it open and snapping it in half. Shoving it into his pocket, he goes into the bathroom to toss it in the trash. After finishing in the bathroom, he climbs back into the suv, glancing over towards the entrance to the store, he sees Potter walk out. Not wanting to be seen, he ducks down as far as he can, but Potter doesn't pay any mind, as he just walks to his car and leaves. Angel startled EZ when he opens the door, "What the hell are you doing, man?"

EZ sits back up, "What? I didn't want to talk to him. Do you have the papers?" Angel pulls out the envelope from Potter. "Yea, new IDs, birth certificates, plane tickets to anywhere we want to go, and cash to get us there. So this plus the $10k we got from dropping off Skyler, we should have a good start." EX nods, "This was too easy. Not sure why Potter wants to keep Zobelle alive. But hell, now you and I can get the hell out of here."
