"Nice to meet everyone. Look, I'm not here to cause any trouble. I just want to find my real dad and get to know him." Adriana explained.Hanna had a really bad vibe about her. She didn't know why. The girl seemed sweet and nice, but something was definitely off about her."How old are you?" Smokey asked."20." Adriana replied."You go to college or have a job?" Smokey asked."No college yet. I've been working odd jobs to save up. Mom's medical bills wiped us out." Adriana replied."You planning on moving here?" Hanna asked."I want to make sure Smokey is my dad. Then if he is and wants me here, then sure. I only have my step dad in Cali." Adriana explained."Well mom, dads, me and Mav are going apartment hunting." Hanna replied."Ok Hanna, but I want you sleeping here." Sam demanded."I'm staying with Mav. I already told you that." Hanna replied. "What the hell, he can stay here too." Sam replied."In my room?" Hanna questioned."Absolutely not." Sam retorted."Then no. Mav's room a
"I'm sorry I didn't realize I'd done that. I was just trying to make up for the time stolen from us and get to know her." Smokey said."And I'm sorry but there's something wrong with her. I get a really bad feeling every time I'm around her. First, she's living in my house, then she's hanging out at the clubhouse chasing the guys and sleeping with half of them." Hanna explained."And if that wasn't enough, she went and got a job at the salon where I work! Next thing you know she'll be following me to beauty school!" Hanna exclaimed."Umm well, since she's been working at the salon, she's really liking it and she did ask how to get licensed." Smokey explained."Fuck no! I swear to God if you even try to get her in to my school, I will never speak to you again!" Hanna retorted. "She is literally trying to take over my life!""Honey, I think that's just a little dramatic!" Smokey complained."Actually, she's not. Baby you have totally blown Hannah off since she walked into our life. I've
"Really Adrian? Man, she bounced back like Wonder Woman considering she was just roofied? Kind of convenient don't you think? Tonight, of all nights?" Sam demanded."She only took one drink before she got scared and called me." Smokey explained.Sam shook her head. "I am so disappointed in you. I never thought you this stupid. I never would have guessed you'd break our daughter's heart like you just did! Since she came into our I don't even know you anymore. I think it's best you both stay here tonight. I need some space.""Sam don't be like that. If Hanna was in trouble, I would have been there for her the same. I know it was graduation but you recorded it didn't you?" Smokey asked."I’m going to ignore that. Why didn't you send a prospect or brother after her so you could go to your daughter's graduation might I add one of the biggest milestones of her life?" Sam asked."Because she's my daughter and responsibility." Smokey replied."She's 20 fucking years old not a child! And you'
"Sam don't start." Smokey warned."That's rich! You know I don't bullshit! I tell it like I see it." Sam replied.Adrianna got moved into the clubhouse. Sam allowed Smokey to come home; however, she made him sleep in the guest room for a whole week. She was still furious with him for doing Hanna like he did."Beautiful? I think you can cut my brother some slack now?" Snake asked.Sam snorted. "He put you up to begging for him?""No. We just talked. He realized how bad he fucked up. He does feel really bad. He wants to make things right with Hanna, but she won't take his calls. Me and him are good. I think he's beginning to see what Adrianna has been doing. But she is his daughter, what's he supposed to do?" Snake asked.Sam sighed as she walked over to the bedroom door. She didn't want to be the bad guy. Or that person that makes someone chose one over the other. Even if she believes the other to be unworthy. "Adrian? Can you come here?" She yelled.A few minutes later he walked up t
"Mav I'm sorry but it's gonna have to wait just a few more minutes, we need to move on this fast. Before what we're doing is exposed and Adrianna runs!" Hanna pleaded. "Please just hang on for a few more minutes." "Fine! I don't like this. And after we're gonna talk!" Maverick warned.Hanna nodded and they all went into the clubhouse. As they walked in, everyone went quiet. It's rare other chapters show up unannounced. However, Jax knew what was going on. They couldn't risk word getting out about what was about to happen. Jax walked over and shook both their hands. "Thanks for coming. We've had her under watch since you called." "Thanks brother." Raptor replied. Smokey is at the bar with Adrianna. As soon as she saw the guys she got up to run."Stop Adrianna!" Hanna shouted. One of the brothers grabbed her. Hanna walked to the middle of the room and the guys followed her. "I guess you're all wondering who these two guys are. They are enforcers for the Cali branch of the Demon Ri
"NOOOO!" Hanna screamed as both Maverick and Smokey tackled her to the floor. She got the wind knocked out of her but didn't feel pain from the shot. "Mav? Dad?""I'm fine baby. You ok? You shot?" Maverick asked. "Where did the bullet go?""Right here." Smokey groaned."No! Daddy! Please no!" Hanna cried.Sam was there checking him. "Smokey where are you shot?""Shoulder." He groaned."Quick get him to the hospital!" Hanna screamed."Maverick calm her down. Someone get me a clean towel for compression for the wound. Snake pull the truck to the door. It looks like the bullet went straight through but we need to find out what kind of damage it caused. Hurry guys! Let's roll!" Sam ordered.Hanna grabbed his hand. "Daddy, I love you I forgive you.""I know honey. It's ok. I'm gonna be fine. Promise." Smokey replied.Maverick held Hanna while she cried. They got Smokey loaded up and watched them pull away.Hanna remembered something Adrianna said. "Mav? Why didn't you tell me about her co
They talked about what happened and Maverick helped her understand that they had no idea how many people she had hurt or probably would have continued to hurt. And he reminded her that she would have gone to be tortured and then killed anyway unless she was able to escape. Afterwards Hanna felt better and decided to put it behind her and move on. Smokey was struggling with the fact that one daughter killed the other until he went to clean her room out at the clubhouse. He found pictures where she had been stalking Hanna. Disturbing pictures of her and Maverick with Hanna's face marked out. Also pictures of Hanna and Smokey but with Adrianna's face taped over Hanna's. The final eye opener was her diary. It was full of hatred for her mom, step dad, boyfriend, Sam, and especially Hanna. He was then glad she was no longer in their life. But he did feel stupid for not seeing it himself. Maverick was now 21, Maddox just turned 20. Hanna, Jasmine, and Jessi are 19, while Blake, Brady, Ja
Later Maverick sent a text to Smokey and Snake. "We need to pay Joker's MC a little visit tomorrow.""Oh?" Smokey asked."For?" Snake asked."TJ was at the salon today hitting on my woman." Maverick replied."Time?" Smokey asked."Meet at your house around 10 since you're on the way and Hanna will have left for work." Maverick replied."Better have Prez let their Prez know we're coming." Snake warned."Already did." Maverick replied. The next morning, they ride out to the Joker's MC.Just after Maverick left Hanna was getting in her car to leave for work when Jasmine and Jade pulled up. Jade was crying."What's wrong?" Hanna asked."Me and Levi had a huge fight. I couldn't go home." Jade sobbed."Ok. Well, what was the fight about?" Hanna asked."He's still enlisting. He wants to be special ops like his dad was." Jade replied."Jade you've known this for years. It's not been a secret." Hanna said confused."I know! He can't go now! Everything has changed!" Jade cried.What's changed?"
"Well I'm not exactly who you think I am." Pamela started. "I know who you are." Ace interjected. Pamela continued. "I've been hanging out with the Vet MC for research." "Because you're an author." Ace interrupted. "I had a new book idea, wait what? You know?" Pamela asked puzzled. "Jax told my dad the whole story. Besides, we had you investigated anyway. While we don't do illegal things, we still are very selective of who we allow around our club." Ace explained. "So you've known this whole time who I really was?" Pamela asked. "Of course." Ace replied. "And you still want me here? The club is ok with what I do?" She asked. "Yes, and yes. As long as you know you can never write about the real club life here or mention any of our members by name in any book." Ace warned. "I would never." Pamela reassured him. "Good. Now that is settled, I'm still waiting for an answer." Ace remarked. "I'd still have to go to the Vet MC to talk with the ladies. Raine, Kim, and Sam are telli
"Lexi here is my girlfriend." TJ replied."Yeah, and don't forget it skank!" Lexi warned."Honey please! TJ doesn't know the meaning of faithful. I just have to get him all horny and worked up and he'll be mine for the fucking." She laughed.Pamela knew Lexi was gonna lose it, so she stepped back. Lexi grabbed the skank by the back of her head and slammed her face into the bar. Blood splattered from her nose and mouth. The skank was crying and sputtering."You busted my nose!" She whined."You better get out of my sight before I cut a bitch!' Lexi warned.She opened her switch blade with a little fancy move that made it hiss. The skanks eyes widened before she ran off screaming."Keep that psycho away from me!" She wailed."If you can't run with the big dogs, stay home." Lexi laughed.Pamela and Ace joined in on the laughter. Lexi walked over to TJ and grabbed his nuts very firmly and not in a feel-good way. In a warning you're gonna lose them way."Your turn. You decide here and now.
Trish turned and ran out the door. A couple guys were waiting on her and grabbed her. Pamela walked out and BJ Jr. was standing there."What's going to happen to her?" She asked."A copy of the recording we just made will be given to the police department. My guys will deliver her and the recording. I'm sure she'll be charged with attempted murder over the accident." He explained."So, you're not going to take her outback and shoot her?" Pamela asked.BJ Jr. laughed hard. "Son, you got one with a vivid imagination here. Good luck with that!""I look forward to it." Ace smirked.It's been a week since Trish was arrested. Things have been quiet. Hanna had decided to talk to Maverick about marriage."So, you remember when I was upset after your sister's wedding?" Hanna asked."Yes." Maverick replied."The reason why, was because I was jealous of her." Hanna explained."Baby, what do you have to be jealous of?" Maverick asked."She got the whole package. The guy, marriage, and a baby on t
"Yeah you have two large windows in your bedroom." Maverick replied."You sleep nude or something?" TJ laughed."You wish Romeo! But no, it's just creepy that someone will be watching me while I sleep." Pamela retorted."I could come in and help you get to sleep." TJ suggested."That's a big no! I can manage just fine on my own lover boy." Pamela declined. Pamela went inside and locked the door. Trish's car was spotted driving by. It was her first mistake she made. A week had passed with nothing happening. Pamela and TJ were still keeping up the pretense of dating. Friday night they had a party at the Vet MC clubhouse. Jokers were invited. After a while, Pamela went to the bathroom to get away from TJ. He'd kept hanging all over her taking advantage of the situation and it was getting on her last nerve. She was starting to get pissed off so she took a break before she blew their cover. As she rounded the corner to the bathroom, someone came up behind her. They put one hand over her
"It's a good plan. I've just not been able to catch her at anything." BJ Jr replied."But dangerous for Pamela. We all know how crazy these bitches can be." Ice grumbled."I'm willing to risk it. Hanna has become a great friend. Before I came here, I really didn't have any friends. So, if I can do something to help her and protect her then I'm all in for it. That's what you do for friends and family." Pamela replied."Woman you're not family. You're just allowed to hang around like the club whores." Hawk retorted. "I don't think I pulled your dog chain nor did I ask for your two cents old man!" Pamela glared at him."That's enough Hawk. You want Lexi to go in and do this?" Jax demanded. Hawk looked down at the floor. "Didn't think so. So shut the fuck up.""Well, I'm game. I'll take one for the team." TJ laughed."Oh please! Like that's a hard job. Having a gorgeous girl pretend she's into you." Snake huffed."Heck pretending will be easy on my end of course, but hey hers too." TJ sm
"What happened? Could she have a friend?" Pamela asked."It's a long story that's best left in the past. I don't think she had anyone." Hanna replied."Oh." Pamela responded."So, who?" Jasmine asked."Sorry I'm drawing a blank. I can't remember having words with any women." Hanna replied."No one who's been hateful to you? Any guys you may have messed with that had jealous girlfriends? Or any girls in Maverick's past?" Pamela questioned."I can’t... umm wait there was one thing but it was minor. And I did not go after her boyfriend. But Maverick said something to him for flirting with me." Hanna replied. "Yeah, that girl was a raging skanky bitch!" Jasmine responded."Yeah, but it was for maybe 2 minutes and only happened once." Hanna responded."Any other women said anything to you?" Pamela asked."No." Hanna denied."I think we should tell my dad." Jasmine said."Let me get Mav." Hanna sighed. Pamela, Hanna, Jasmine, Maverick, and Maddox go to Jax's office. "Dad we have a theory
While she's sitting there, Hanna came up and sat beside her. "Hi, I'm Hanna.""I'm Pamela." She replied."You're new. Just passing through or visiting?" Hanna asked."Not sure yet." Pamela replied."Would you like to join me and my friends?" Hanna asked."Sure." Pamela responded. They went over to the table where Jasmine, Jessi, and Lexi were sitting."This is Pamela." Hanna announced. That's Jessi my cousin, Jasmine, and Lexi. Jazz and Lex are like family. Our moms have been best friends forever and we all grew up together.""Nice to meet y'all." Pamela replied. Brady walked over to their table. "Sis, ladies, who's your friend?""Her name is Pamela and you need to back off!" Hanna retorted."What? I just came over to be friendly." Brady laughed."Sure you did, Mr. Player himself." Hanna huffed."Ladies. Hey baby." Maddox replied as he bent down to kiss Jasmine."Pamela this is Jazz's boyfriend Maddox." Hanna explained.Maverick walked up behind Hanna. "Hey baby who's your friend?"
He stepped aside to let her in the office. He closed the door and sat back behind his desk. Raine sat down on his lap. "Sit. What's your name?" He asked."Pamela." She replied as she sat down."Pamela?" Raine asked."Just Pamela." She replied.Raine looked like she was thinking pretty hard. But doesn't say anything."Ok you've got my attention. Talk." Jax demanded."Before I tell you I need to know that it won't go any further than this room." Pamela explained."Sweetheart I can't promise shit till I know what you have to say." Jax replied."Ok." She sighed. "I guess I'll have to take my chances that you'll understand. I want a waitress job here for some research work I'm doing. And before you get all defensive it's not what you think.""I'm listening." Jax replied. "I'm not with the cops or government. I just recently graduated with my English lit degree to further my career of being an author. Or trying to. I've published several stories but got writer’s block. Then I decided to t
"If it's TJ behind this, all bets are off!" Maverick responded."There's things going on you don't know. I'll explain when I get there. You're just going to have to trust me that I'm doing everything in my power to take care of this. I can't have you going off halfcocked not knowing what's going on." Jax warned."No promises." Maverick replied."Find Hanna then we'll talk." Jax ordered. "Son that's an order.""Fine!" Maverick agreed. They finally found Hanna's car and she was taken to the hospital. Maverick lost his shit, but luckily Jax got to him before any damage was done."Son calm down!" Jax ordered. "If you don’t, I'll have the brothers take you to the clubhouse.""If I find out that fucker had anything to do with this, I'll end him!" Maverick warned.Hanna finally woke up but before the doctors let her family in, they had to run tests. Finally, they were done and let her mom, dads, and Maverick see her."Hey honey, how are you feeling?" Sam asked."Baby I was worried sick!" Ma
