Painted Leaves on the High Wind | Pumpkin Spice

The wind whips the tail of his jacket around as he steps out of his car, the chilled air of the cooling planet causes an ache in his gradually stiffening joints. A brief wince in his eye, he leans back into the car to grab the grocery bag of goodies he had been sent out to retrieve. Double checking the bags, he confirms that everything on the list has been picked up.

He hears the exciting screams from inside as he struggles to open the door, stepping in, his path is blocked as a curly haired child and hyperactive dog speeds pushed past him. “Whoa, little ninja, careful!” He calls as the two run around towards the corner.

“Sorry Daddy!” She yells through the house.

He makes his way through the house to the kitchen, the noise from the small appliances deafening his ears. His wife stands beside the popcorn machine, spinning the bowl as the snack spills over the top.

“Love?” He asks, the woman before him shifting on her heels. The click from the kettle on the other side of the kitchen catches her attention. “Ziva?” He calls a little louder, the spin on her heels she takes to stare at him tells him all he needs.

He steps up to her, placing the bag on the counter, he takes her in his arms. She leans her forehead into his broad shoulder, before resting her eyes.

He strokes her hair, whispering softly into her ear. They stay there together in the kitchen, blocking out the sound around them for many moments.

They are brought back to reality when a loud “Izzy!” is shouted and the dog is rushing around the kitchen to clean up the popcorn mess that the overfilled bowl and machine are making. His wife lets out a groan, he kisses her on the forehead before grabbing the pup’s collar and pulling her away from the mess.

“I’m sorry Daddy.” His daughter frowns, opening the closet door. He looks up at her, frowning himself.

“What do you mean, Tali?” The dog pulls on his hold, going for the forgotten popcorn.

His little ninja helps him tidy up the mess. She sighs. “Ima told me to help get ready to watch the movie, but I didn’t listen.”

He glances up at his wife, her stiff movements and tense air. “Your Ima has been having a rough week, she didn’t want to worry you guys.” He pauses, helping to sweep up the last little bit of popcorn, not noticing the large brown eyes staring at each piece being cleaned up. “Give her some time and show her you love her.” He looks back up at the original ninja, the smallest hint of a smile on her lips.

Letting go of Izzy, he looks over to his daughter as she puts the broom away. The loud sniffing of a searching nose tickles their feet. She looks up at him.”Imma going to get ready for bed before the movie starts.” He nods, watching as she calls the pup’s name and runs upstairs to her room.

His wife lets out a sigh as he comes up behind her, placing his hands on her hips, resting his chin on her shoulder. He kisses along her neck, his hands coming around to rest on her belly. “You need to rest, dear.” He whispers.

She lets out a muted groan. He lifts his hands, resting them on her fiddling fingers. “I can’t.” Her tone, softer than a whisper. “I can’t leave him.” He squeezes her tightly, pulling her into his chest.

He side eyes the baby monitor, watching their baby sleep. “It’s only your first week back.” He rocks their bodies back and forth. “Maybe you can ask Vance if you can work from home?”

She spins in his arms, her bloodshot eyes staring up at him. “But what if they need me?”

“You’re distracted Ziva,” he rests his head against hers. “It’s not safe if your mind is somewhere else.” She looks away from him, a deep frown in her brows. “It doesn’t have to be forever, but your anxiety was bad after you had to give up Tali.” He rubs her thumb over her cheek, catching a tear.

“Tony, I-”

She’s cut off as thumping of multiple feet rush down the stairs. “I’m ready!”

They catch each other’s eyes again. “Please Ziva? Just think about it.” He swallows hard. “I can’t lose you again.” She nods, her jaw clenching. He leans forward to kiss her forehead again before leading her away from the kitchen. “Go relax, I’ll make the drinks.”

Five minutes after his wife and daughter settle in the living room, he enters with a large bowl of popcorn and a tray of drinks. “Order up!”

Ziva smiles as Tali lets out an infectious giggle.

“One pumpkin spice tea for the little lady.” He places her drink in front of her. “And one for the beautiful woman.” He hands her the cup before sitting down with his. “So, what are we watching?”

“The Nightmare Before Christmas!” His daughter bounces in her seat. He shakes his head as he prepares to watch the same movie for the 10th time that month.

He presses play on the movie and relaxes with his hot mug next to his daughter. Tali reaches forward and takes a sip. “Mmm! Daddy, that’s delicious!” And takes another sip.

He takes a sip of his own tea, his eyes watering. Struggling to swallow, his chest hurts as it goes down. Placing it down on the table in front of him and turning his attention to the movie. Apparently, it’s just not for him.

Under the cut, you’ll find forty out of character questions split into two parts: OOC about your muses, and OOC about yourself! Answer what you’d like, add more if you’d like.

When you’re done TAG some of your writing partners and keep FUN going. 

-there is no pressure to participate

-IF You Are Reading This And You’d Like To Participate Consider Yourself Tagged My Friend! 

Much Love,

TheJesseWhoLurks

I tag @lyr-taxidermist  @theghostofharar  @hurdygurdyskeksis  @urskekyagvi  @skekmal-the-hunter  @skekso-the-emperor  @gourdplayer   @hedonistschambers  @ulvanmaudra  @littlebluezoologist @the-wandering-urru  @queenofthetides  @juliejewel24 @thecastleurru

OOC About  Your Character(s)

1.     What do you want to get out of playing this character(s)?

The reason I wanted to write for Gra was to meet fellow fans that loved the world of TDC as much as I do, I wanted to find fellow writers. I wanted to steep myself in the fandom. You can easily consider me skeKSis obsessed but I am growing a fondness for their counterparts -slowly ❤

2.     Describe your character(s) with three words.

Passionate | Erratic | Trustworthy

3.     What made you decide to write this muse?

Originally I was going to pick up The Ritual Master, he’d been my OG fav from the movie BUT Gra kept ... poking me with his scepter? Like; I live in the desert, you live in the desert, Ima recluse, you’re a recluse =we are simpatico. I think The Heretic picked me because he simply would not leave my mind when I considered him as a possibility. 

4.     If you could change one event in your muse’s life (in their main or canon verse), what would you change?

Canon. I mean they left us kinda hanging there. We really do not know what happened do we? They are simply, just not there anymore. I do not want them to perish, I want them to make it to the finish line and become urSkek. It breaks my heart to think they did not make it.

5.     If you could tell your muse one thing, what would you tell them?

I would not say anything, just hug him REALLY tightly and probably not let go until he gives me a chitter-laugh.

6.     If you could give your muse one gift, what would you give them?

I would like to give them...ME. 

7.     If you had to take one positive thing away from your muse, what would you take away?

I do not want to take a positive thing from the fibers that make up Gra. I feel they are very interwoven in his tale. Removing one would make another untether. If I could take away or diminish a bad trait Id have him not be so stubborn and or impatient but then again he would not be Gra now would he?  

8.     If you could “borrow” one aspect of your muse and apply it to yourself or your own life, what would you borrow?

His determination, passion. Damn son. You get things done. 

9.     Do you genuinely want your muse to be happy? What do you think would make them most happy in life?

Yes. He’s gotten his ass handed to him, I think he might be owed a slice of peace and happiness.  What makes him most happy? He’s already showed me; his relationships whether its friendship, extended family or a lover those are treasures he holds near and dear to his heart.  

10. Do you enjoy putting your muse through angst? What do you think would break their heart the most?

Usually I prefer to plot out angst rather then let it completely run a-muck because you never know what your partner is comfortable with, what might trigger them in a detrimental way and simply set fire to a plot unintentionally. 

I already know; it literally is ... break his heart. 

11. What do you love about your muse?

His dynamic energy, the wild fire, the mystical chaos, the creativity is off the charts. His sharp distinguished features, the way he looks shamanistically feral as compared to his brethren and their Garthic garb. His use of the color red. His scratchy rasp of a voice. His laugh. 

12. What do you hate about your muse?

He is a high maintenance muse, he is demanding and screeches loudly for what he wants. 

13. What about your muse amuses you?

The fact that he is a skeKSis. This brings a whole slew of challenges to the table for a writer. Case in point, I was writing a reply one day and I went to put something in along the lines of ‘he arched his brow and blah blah’ THEN he hit me! He has no eyebrows to arch, ahhh! I have to stop and think about how to write out expressive traits or reactions that are not of the usual human reaction tone.

14. What about your muse makes you sad? 

How fragile his heart really is after all the shit he’s endeared. 

15. How would you describe your muse to someone about to meet them, in person, for the first time?

Get Ready For A Wild SURPRISE!

16. Would you like your muse as a person if you met them in real life?

Yes, I like creative souls. I cherish them. 

17. In what ways are you better than your muse? In what ways are they better than you?

I do not think I am or he is better than the other. 

But I will say he is a handsome devil, for a skeKSis. 

18. Why do you think you connect to your muse?

Creative. Outcast. 

19. What aspect of your muse’s personality is most important to you? What aspect of your muse’s personality do you think is most important to them? Is it the same? Why or why not?

His passion and drive. I’d say its the same answer for us both. All of the accomplishments he tackled probably had their stacks of obstacles with each to-do. You’d have to have an unending supply of passion and drive to keep going, to complete all. He really is a work-a-holic and a busy body skek.

20. Has your character(s) changed over the time that you have been playing them? How have they changed?

Not yet but I am sure he will, creative liberties will be taken since I only have a a episode or two to work with -am I right? 

About You!

1.     What is your name? 

Jesse. 

2.     What is your profession?

secret shit. 

3.     What do you do to relax?

I write. Play video games. Naps are divine. Hot coffee and watch YT videos. DOodle. Desert combing walks. Long hot baths. Organize things xD

4.     What is your favorite treat (desert)?

All kinds, I’m not picky. I love me some chocolate lately. 

5.     Favorite movie

Too many to list. Its October right now. All I want is Hocus Pocus, some Harry Potter and Practical Magick at the moment. Tis the season. 

6.     Favorite book

I do not think I have a favorite. BUT I will admit that I have a copy of The Dark Crystal that I STOLE FROM A LIBRARY YEARS AGO! I have kept it all this time, its falling apart and its aged with beauty and I adore it  ❤ I also have a Jim Henson book about puppetry and his works, there is a page from TDC and if my memory serves me right it has the concept art of skekGra in it sooo sooo I was looking at skekGra YEARS AGO AND HAD NO CLUE the conjunction that would line up in the future! I really neeed to go find this book but its in a storage shed that will be a fresh hell to get to =[ *

7.     Favorite vacation spot

Anywhere where its either very green and or by some body of water. Ocean, river, lake. Yes, good. -not very many humans around save for present company reading thiiiis. 

8.     Favorite Disney movie

Are you kidding me? Too many to list, although I will say The Sword In The Stone did play a part in Gra’s Crystal Skimmer named Archimedes after the grouchy old owl. 

9.     How did you first get into role playing?

Years ago. I started writing on face book. I wrote for a pirate believe it or not, he was my first muse and he holds special place in my black heart and probably always will. But I am disinclined to acquiesce the gift of further details about this scurvy cursed muse, Ha!

10. What was your first platform? If it was something other than Tumblr, what made you get into Tumblr?

It was face book, before they got all crazy about accounts and security. I moved over to tumblr because writers were incredibly rude and rapid fire RP-ers. One liner sentences and I’m like NOPE I need a novel length. 

11. What’s a grammar rule you find yourself breaking or ignoring a lot?

Sometimes I have a touch of dyslexia, sometimes I typo, sometimes I am too tired to proof read, sometimes I make blunders. But I tend to focus on my mistakes rather then other peoples. I just go with the flow, I just write no matter what their level of ‘proper grammar’ IS because I’d like to think that maybe they are just starting out, maybe they will fall in love with writing and maybe they will be the next author who creates a world we all fall in love with and want to immerse ourselves in.  

12. Are there any languages besides English in which you think you could comfortably roleplay?

I do not RP in other languages. However I did have a muse at one time who was French, I would throw in little phrases but it was never entirely done in French and I do have a British muse at the moment, so again I will use slang and little sayings to make them well rounded as best as I can. Those are just little details I like to include that many others might skip on but I thrive for deets. 

I do however have role play writing partners that are from ALL over the world which is amazing to me. 

13. Do you listen to music while your write?

ALOT. I have tracks specifically for skekGra, that take me to his frame of mind. Even TDC soundtrack at times, the puppet show song and the blue flame part 2 are on replay a lot. 

14. Are you a morning, day, evening, or night writer?

I am all over the place. My life is very hectic. I’d like to say its usually in the afternoon of evening for me, the house is settled down and things are silent but thats not always how it works out. Oftentimes I will sit down and write a reply or two, then dip to do mundane human things that adults do, then return back for a few more replies. 

15. How does tiredness affect your writing?

Kills it. The weekends I work long hours therefor my brain is like WHAAAT. 

16. What is your biggest obstacle to writing every day, if time doesn’t count?

It is always TIME. Sometimes stress levels can be an obstacle too, no lie. If something major is going on, I just throw my hands up like ‘I got nothin’’ and thats that.

17. How many drafts is a paralyzing amount?

Oh damn. Been there done that. I am much more picky about it nowadays. I try to limit skekGra to a certain number of replies because he also has to allow room for other muses. 

Currently: Gra has ten replies on tumblr -no actually 11 &&& 4 on discord. I am two shakes away from cutting HIM OFF! lol. 

18. Is there anything character-wise or writing style-wise that you can’t stand?

I’m open to different characters, I have written with a lot. I love a writer who has style, I appreciate the effort.  

Etiquette, manners and consideration are oftentimes LACKING as of late. 

19. What kind of anonymous questions are your favorite?

ANYTHING as long as it is not anon HATE. 

20. What is your weakest point in writing? Angst, fluff, dialogue, etc.?

T I M E not having enough time to write the angst fluff and dialogue, smut too lets be real. It really is a bummer to me when I  do not have the time, I work, I have a a lotta responsibilities, my life is like a hurricane a lot of the time so TIME is my weakness, oftentimes I am super J E L L O of people who are online all day, every day, always there I’m envious and I get writers FOMO which makes me laugh but its so damn true I could ugly laugh cry about it. 

Ok don’t get me wrong. All I want is a Tony and Ziva reunion onscreen. I’ll be over the moon and sob like a BABY when/if it happens 

but

Just imagine if Tiva actually got together while Michael and Cote where both regulars on the show and didn’t spend 8 years TORTURING US??????

We could have had...

-All their feelings boiling over during an argument or standoff and both of them just ripping each other’s clothes off.

-So much awkwardness after waking up the next morning both wondering about what it meant.

-Tony being the one to take the bull by the horns and telling her he’s done messing around and he loves her and it’s on his Bucket List goddamit he wants a relationship with her!

-Tiva keeping it a secret from the rest of the team with secret glances, touches, stolen kisses in the elevator and texts amongst an oblivious McGee.

-One by one the team all accidentally finding out in different ways starting with Palmer (who almost bursts a blood vessel when they ask him to keep it from the team - especially Gibbs).

-McGee being the last one to find out and his reaction being like Ross from Friends - first having a hilarious meltdown and being furious that he was the last to know but then being overjoyed and happy for them.

-Tony dreading Gibbs reaction and avoiding him for days, hiding under desks and even coming from a crime scene in the back of the ME van with a body to avoid him. 

-Gibbs finally catching up to Tony and saying he already knew and giving Tony and Ziva a head slap for not telling him and telling them to make it work but keep it out of the office.

-Despite their attempts, Tony and Ziva not being able to stop with their flirting in the workplace resulting in many eye rolls from McGee and headslaps from Gibbs.

-People commenting how happier they both are.

-Suspects/interviewees commenting on how cute they are together and how obvious it is they are a couple and they are made for each other etc.

-Suspects/interviewees flirting with one of them and the other getting hilariously jealous and insisting they’re guilty.

-Their first argument causing all sorts of awkwardness in the workplace resulting in Gibbs and McGee talking to both of them and telling them separately not to throw away what they have because it’s special

-“my boyfriend/girlfriend”

-Casual displays of affection - hugs, kisses touches

-Heart to hearts about their pasts, issues, demons, problems etc and both of them supporting each other

-One of them being hurt/kidnapped and the other being able to fully express their pain and worry because their feelings are not a secret anymore

-Their second fight being a more serious one with lots of angst and resulting in an almost break-up

-Both of them making up with a heart to heart where they both admit they love each other so much and they’re scared of messing it up.

-Domestic Tiva - lying in bed talking, play fighting, Ziva giving Tony a massage because his back is playing up, her cooking while he sets the table, both of them sat on the couch with him watching a movie while she’s reading a book cuddled up to him.

-Tony proposing - him telling Abby what he’s planning and her telling everyone else who all give him a million different ideas stressing him out. Tony almost having a heart attack when Palmer walks into the bullpen one day with a bridal magazine for Ziva from Breena before he’s even had chance to propose and a confused Ziva never finding out why Tony raced across the room and tackled him to the ground.

-Tony’s large as life extravagant proposal complete with ponies, dancers, fireworks and fire eaters going spectacularly wrong

- Him being really downcast about it until Ziva encourages him to continue and he makes a beautiful speech and they both cry and it turns into the most beautiful proposal ever

-”My fiance/fiancee”

-The Wedding - Gibbs walking Ziva down the aisle and giving Tony a head slap at the altar. Abby crying. Their vows being funny and moving. Both of them reminiscing on their past and everything they’ve been through with lots of emotional stuff and declarations of love as well as jokes and banter.

-”My husband/wife”

-Ziva finding out she’s pregnant. Both of them being shit scared and excited.

-Both of them expressing their fears of being like their fathers and reassuring each other they’ll be great parents.

-Ziva being pregnant - Ziva being fed up of being put on desk duty, Tony being overprotective and not letting her move a muscle.

-Ziva giving birth with half of NCIS in the corridors much to the frustration of the hospital staff. It gets to the point that the receptionist just directs all NCIS staff to the maternity wing without even asking why they are there.

-Their family - Ima Ziva and Daddy Tony 

-Their extended family - McUncle Tim and Aunt Abby and Grandpa Gibbs

And of course 

-Us finding out what happened in Paris

Chapter 22

A/N: Let me know if you want to be tagged! 

Where she went Masterlist 

It had been a few weeks since everything went down at Half’s funeral. The club and I attended Hale’s funeral about a week after Half’s. Jax and I had been staying at the club seeing that I needed to be protected from ‘The Bitter Horsemen’ 24/7. I usually stayed with Jax and Opie but when they were busy, I was with some of the other members.

Jax and I hardly ever slept because Abel was gone and everyone was slipping through our fingers. Gemma was still in hiding and the club was on edge.

I was sitting on the roof smoking a cigarette when Jax walked behind me.

“Hey,” He spoke softly before taking the seat next to me. I kept staring straight ahead as I spoke.

“Hey,”

“You okay?” Jax questioned while I nodded.

“Yeah.” We sat in silence before I turned to him. “I’m sorry.” A tear slipped down my cheek as I spoke.

“Sorry for what?” Jax questioned, reaching up and wiping away the stray tear.

“I’m sorry I came back.” Jax stared at me with furrowed brows.

“What? Why the hell are you sorry you came back?!”

“None of this would have happened if I had of just stayed where I was. When I was here I was fucking everything up. I fucked things up with you and Tara, with the club but when I left Everything was fine but then I came back and we lost Donna, Half, and Hale. You and Tara broke up, Abel was kidnapped, you’re falling apart.” More tears streamed down my face. “Everything would be fine if I never came back.” Jax gripped my wrists as he turned me to stare at him.

“Don’t you ever think like that. I love you, the club loves you. What’s been happening is not your fault. I don’t want you blaming yourself for stuff we can’t control. Donna, Half and Hale, their deaths were all accidents and mistakes someone else made.” Jax said moving his hands from my wrists to my face. “They wouldn’t want you blaming yourself for what happened.” I wrapped my arms around him as he wrapped his around me before pulling me into his chest. We stayed in each other’s embrace for awhile until Clay called out for Jax.

“Listen, I have some club business to do. Hap and Kozik are going to stay with you. Don’t leave the club unless seriously necessary and even then, I want you to call me before you do.” I nodded, Jax pulled me into a kiss as I kissed back. We pulled away, Jax headed over to his bike and climbed on. I waved goodbye while he drove away.

Happy and Kozik walked over to me before throwing their arms around my shoulders.

“Come on baby girl, let’s get you in the club.” I smiled and nodded before walking into the club.

Time Skip:

It had been a few hours and we had been crawling the walls. I had beaten Kozik at the pool about a dozen times and I was done with that game. The rumble of motorcycles tore me away from the pool table.

“Hey! I was winning!” Kozik yelled as I walked out of the club. Jax was climbing off his bike when I came out of the club. He made he was towards me with open arms.

“I missed you, beautiful.” I smiled leaning back in the hug.

“I missed you too” I pressed my lips to him as he kissed back. We pulled away and made our way to the club when Juice rushed out.

“Jax!” Jax turned his head towards Juice. “It’s about Abel.” Jax, I and the club rushed into church before closing the doors behind us.

“What is it?!” Jax snapped leaning onto the table.

“A man and infant were seen buying a one-way ticket to Vancouver,” Juice said laying a picture of Cameron and Abel in front of us.

“Shit!” Jax said as I laid a comforting hand on his back. Jax wrapped one arm around my waist pulling me into his chest.

“We’ll find him,” Clay said as I and the club nodded in agreement. Jax sighed before taking my hand and walking out of the church. We walked towards the dorms until we reached our shared room. Unlocking the door, we walked into the room and I fell to the bed in exhaust. Jax fell next to me while we stared at the ceiling together. I took a hold of his hand and interloped our fingers.

“We’ll get through this. Together.” Jax turned to me and I turned to him. Brushing a stray hair from my face with his other hand he raised our interloped fingers before pressing a gentle kiss to the back of my hand.

“Together.”

The Next Day:

I awoke to the sound of water running in the shower. I smiled to myself, knowing it had been Jax. I climbed out of bed before throwing on a pair of high waisted skinny jeans and one of Jax’s flannels, throwing my hair into a low bun and walking out of the dorm and closing the door behind me.

I saw Opie, Chibs, and Bobby sitting at the bar. I took the seat next to Opie as one of the Croweaters handed me a cup of coffee.

“So, where do we stand with ‘The Bitter Horsemen’?” I questioned turning towards the three club members. Before they could respond the rest of the club broke through the doors. Jax had been coming down the hall from his shower when the club came in.

“I think the only one who can answer your question is Jax.” I looked behind me to see Jax standing at the end of the hall.

“Well…” I said to Jax as he chuckled.

“We’re going for blood, Juice found the location of one of the shooters so we’re going to head there and find out what we can about them.” I nodded in understanding.

“Hey, would you guys mind if I went to Cara-Cara and helped out a little?” The boys all raised their eyebrows in suspicion and curiosity. “Not like that!” I yelled out with a giggle as the boys chuckled. With Luann being gone, I figured Lyla and the girls could use a little help. Jax nodded his head with a smile.

“Sounds good Darlin’. I’ll drop you over there.” I nodded with a smile, sliding off the bar stool while Jax walked over to me throwing his arm around my shoulders before walking out of the club.

We climbed onto his bike after putting on our helmets. I wrapped my arms around his waist as we took off down the road.

Arriving at Cara-Cara some girls were outside smoking, Jax backed his bike into a spot while I climbed off.

“Thanks for the ride, baby. I’ll call you when I’m ready.” Jax smiled before shaking his head.

“I’ll walk you in. Like a gentleman.” His classic smirk fell across his face when I said the last part. I raised my brow but shook it off. Jax turned off his bike before climbing off and following me into the studio.

“Hey (Y/N)!” I turned to see Lyla waving me over. I smiled at her but my smile quickly faded when I saw Ima looking Jax up and down. We made our way over to the two as I plastered on a fake smile.

“Hey Lyla,” I said once we reached them.

“Hey Jax, I was wondering if you’d give me a ride home later today?” Ima said completely ignoring my presence.

“Sorry bitch but he’s giving me a ride home.” I snapped turning towards her. Ima rolled her eyes as Jax and I turned our attention back to Lyla.

“So, Jax? I was wondering if you’d like to come watch me film my new movie?” Jax glanced at Ima as Lyla and I shared annoyed looks. An idea popped into my head and a smirk came across my face. I took a hold of Jax’s neck before pulling his lips to mine.

I pulled him into a heated make out session until I pulled away leaving him wanting more.

“I’ll see you after,” I said with a wink and a smirk before interloping my arm with Lyla and heading in the other direction.

A few hours later, Jax had called saying they needed some pornstars for a club deal. Lyla and I got some girls together and headed to the location Jax had given me.

Pulling up, Happy, Chibs, and Juice lead the girls into the restaurant while I stopped to talk to Jax.

“What was that about earlier?” Jax questioned with a raised eyebrow. I just smiled before leaning in.

“It’s just a taste of what’s to come.” With a smirk, I walked away and into the restaurant with the rest of the club.

Time Skip:

We arrived back at the club earlier than expected. Opie had lost it when he saw Lyla about to suck off another man. I sat on Jax’s lap while Lyla sat on Ope’s.

“Opie, I love you. I just do what I do for my job not because I want too.” Opie sighed before nodding his head.

“I know but I just hate it.” Lyla smiled before standing up and taking Opie with her.

“Take me home, big boy and I’ll show you who I belong too.” Opie looked at us while we cheered him on. I was about to ask Jax did he want to head back to our dorm when Juice spoke up.

“Jax! This just came up!” Juice said laying his laptop on the bar to reveal a dead Cameron with a gang sign carved into his forehead. “This was taken in Belfast, Ireland. Cameron was in Belfast.” We all exchanged looks between each other as Jax spoke.

“Wait, if Cameron’s in Ireland? Where’s Abel?” Silence filled the room until I spoke up.

“I don’t know but I do know something.” Everyone looked in my direction as I continued.

“We’re going to Ireland.”
