Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 82

Jax and Tinsley rode until they reached a clearing in a field along the river just a little ways outside of Charming. Jax parked the bike under a big oak tree and helped Tinsley off. Grabbing his bed roll, Jax laid it out on the group. Jax sat down on the blanket using the trunk of the tree as a back rest. He pulled Tinsley down to a sitting position between his legs. His arms wrapped around her shoulders, Tinsley leaned back into him and let the sounds of nath ire sooth them both. They listened to the birds chirping and the water flowing softly. The sounds alone calmed Tinsley. Funny how something so small came instanatly calm someone.

Tinsley knew the last few days were going to catch up with her and it looked like that time had come. She still had more to tell Jax as far as the detective and the death of the Camden Byrd guy. She was still confused why the detective would want to talk to her.

"What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" Asked Jax.

"Remember me mentioning the call I got? Well, it's was a detective from North Carolina named Booth. He wanted to know if I knew this guys named Camden Byrd. I knew the name but couldn't really place him. Anyway, come to find out, he was buddy buddy with mason. According to the detective, there were pictures of me everywhere in his house. Like surveillance photos." Said Tinsley.

"Why would be have surveillance photos of you?" Asked Jax.

"Supposedly, Mason and this Camden guy were working together. They were planning on abducting me and carrying me back to North Carolina. Mason was supposed to come for me but if he didn't come back, this Camden Byrd guy was supposed to finish the job. From the way the detective talked, they found evidence that the Byrd guy was planning a trip to Charming. Oh, and supposedly he had developed some sort of crush on me and was writing love letters to me but never sent them. The detective said there was a ton of them." said Tinsley.

"Well I get why they would want to talk to you since they found those letters and pictures. Wher did this guy now? Do they have him in custody?" Asked Jax.

"He's dead" said Tinsley.

"Oh wow. So that's the real reason the cop wanted to talk to you" said Jax.

"He doesn't have me as suspect but he was quick to mention my marriage to you and the clubs arrest record." Said Tinsley

"Hold the fuck up! This guy thinks we had something to do with a murder in North Carolina?" Said Jax.

"He didn't flat out say but that's the impression I got" said Tinsley.

"But we haven't even been to North Carolina. And there are no SONS near there either. Not even Nomads" said Jax

"That's what you're mom said" said Tinsley.

"So why would he think we would have anything to do with it?" Asked Tinsley.

"I think he was just fishing for info. I think he thought if he mentioned it that I would say something to incriminate you guys" said Tinsley.

"Makes sense" said Jax.

"So I'm worried to death about what else this detective is working on plus the fight with Tara. Do you think she will press charges?" Said Tinsley.

"Knowing her, probably because she will see it as you being out of the way and she can move in" said Jax.

"Ugh. Not worth a damn." Said Tinsley.

"Baby, you know I don't want her. She can try all she wants but it ain't gonna happen" said Jax.

"I know that. Just the thought of her trying pisses me off" said Tinsley.

"I know." Said Jax.

"Anyway, the detective said he would stay in touch and I guess I'll have to wait and see if Tara presses any charges" said Tinsley.

"Pretty much" said Jax.

"Anyway, enough about me. What's bothering you? And don't you dare tell me nothing" said Tinsley.

Jax took a deep breath and willed himself to tell her what had happened. He was still trying to process the overload of information himself. He knew she was worried about her own stuff and didn't want to pile this on jr too but he always knew that she would know he wasn't being honest.

"Well, turns out my father was a piece of shit." Started Jax.

"Go on" said Tinsley.

"Turns out that when Thomas was on his death bed, JT was in Belfast fucking another woman. And not just a one time thing either. He was having a full on relationship with her. He even got her pregnant. Turns out I have a sister. I never even asked what her name was" said Jax.

"Oh my god Jax" said Tinsley.

"That's not all. This Maureen bitch that JT was fucking was McGee's old lady. She told me that JT had written her some letters that supposedly said that if JT died unexpectedly, it would be clay that killed him" said Jax.

"Holy shit" said Tinsley.

"Yeah. I asked Clay about it and he denied it. But he did tell me that he an my mom had been fucking since before JT died" said Jax.

"Is that why JT would say that Clay would kill him?" Asked Tinsley.

"That's part of it. Supposedly, JT was in the process of getting the SONS out of the gun business. From what Maureen insinuated, Clay killed JT because JT wanted them out of guns and Clay didn't want to lose the money that the gun bring in." Said Jax.

"I can see where that could be true but I don't see Clay being that vindictive. I ain't gonna lie, he scares me sometimes because he's just the type to intimidate people but I don't think he would kill JT just because of the guns." Said Tinsley.

"No, I don't either. And your right, Clay uses his size to get people to do what he wants. Clay thought I would be kissed at him for screwing my mom behind JT's back and in a way I was but probably not as much I should have been. JT was doing the same thing mom was doing so if I'm gonna be mad at anyone it would have had to be both." Said Jax.

"I get that" said Tinsley.

"It's just a fucking mess." Said Jax.

"I know. But guess what. You have me in your corner. We will get though this" said Tinsley.

"Baby, you are the only thing keeping me sane right now. I don't know where I would be right now if it wasn't for you" said Jax.

"Back atcha babe" said Tinsley.

The two of them settled into silence and just enjoyed each other's company. The ringing of Tinsley cell phone brought them back to reality.

"It's your mom" said Tinsley as she handed jax the phone.

"Hey mom" said Jax.

Jax listened whatever Gemma was saying on the other end.

"Are you shitting me?" Asked Jax.

Again, he listened to what Gemma was saying.

"Ok, we're on the way back" said Jax before hanging up the phone.

"Everything ok with the kids?" Asked Tinsley.

"Yea, their fine. But your not going to believe this. Tara is dead" said Jax.
