Chapter IX

Jackie sighed as she watched the scenery flash by, trying to block out the images of Jax's face as she drove away. A hand slowly creeping its way up her thigh interrupted her thoughts. She slapped it away, but it was back a second later, followed by a masculine chuckle.

"Jason, can you please try and pretend to be a step-brother, if only for a minute?" Jackie switched back to English, knowing her brother could understand her perfectly. He only smiled and squeezed her thigh lightly. He didn't make the language switch.

"Father is not happy with your progress here. He expects you back soon. He told me to tell you that the leak must be found and exterminated before it can spread. Now you, my little darling, was once very good at these search and destroy missions. What made you so lax in your work?"

Jackie just nodded her head and replied in Russian, "Da Da Kirill."

Jason growled at her movie quote and immediately switched to English. "Jacqueline, don't think I don't know your patronizing me with that Eastern Promises quote. If you ever call me Kirill again, I will make sure that little blonde boy you were playing with back there never sees the light of day again."

Jackie froze and locked her jaw tightly, keeping in the curses she wanted to scream. Jason smirked at her sour expression and only pressed his foot down harder on the gas pedal, making her car shoot forward.

Back at the SAMCRO clubhouse, Jax was attempting to figure out who the leak was. However, he wasn't trained to sniff out a snitch like Jackie. He groaned in exasperation. The search wasn't going anywhere and he couldn't ask juice to help.

Jax was down to his last contact and he didn't want to even consider going to Clay, but there was someone else he could ask for help. Before he could decide on the matter however, the man in question walked in the room.

"Hey Jax, wasup?" Jax smiled in response and closed his laptop. "Not much half-sack, just working on something." Kip just nodded and looked around the room. "Hey where did the hot blonde go?" Jax smiled thinly and replied, " She had some family stuff to deal with and had to leave."

Kip looked at him in surprise and Jax was sure that he caught a flash of relief in his eyes, but decided to ignore it. "Oh well, ok. Guess ill go back to work in the garage."

Jax huffed in annoyance and walked into his room, stopping when he noticed a piece of paper sitting on his bed. He picked it up and opened it to find a note beginning, "Sorry Jax."

Jax sighed and sat down to read Jackie's goodbye.

Sorry Jax...

I didnt mean for you to find out about me like this...If I had it my way, you wouldnt have found out until I was long gone from this place...but I guess we cant all get what we want..anyway my brother needs my help with something...

Jax tried to read the scratched out writing but it was too covered up. Jackie had continued and Jax had to smile at her language.

OMFG i just cant do this anymore! Jax i think i am falling in love with you and for me and my fucked up family, that pretty much means your doomed...i have a mission to do and if you get in the way, you and i are both dead...but you can help me instead...ask your dad, clay about half-sack's dad and see if he knows where he is or what happened to him..text me any news...ill update you from there...again i am so fucking sorry and i wish i hadnt dragged you into this, but in my family we have this tradition...show a man your weapons and he is yours for life...hope thats true in this case...xoxo Jackie

Jax pulled out his lighter and burned the letter, knowing that if there was a leak somewhere, he couldnt leave it around. he grabbed his cut and threw it on, throwing Kip a wave as he roared out of the clubhouse towards his mom's house...he didnt really want to bring Clay in, but Jackie said it was the right thing to do...and hey he loved her too...
