The full moon shined brightly overhead as SAMCRO rode down the empty highway. The rumble of the Harleys echoed through the canyon like thunder. They moved together as one. Riding only inches apart, trusting each other to ride straight and true.

A hundred feet back, a white truck followed them. It contained the illegal cargo they were escorting. They had done this run a dozen times in the last six months, and tonight was just as uneventful as the rest of the times. Just the rumble of their engines and the whole open road ahead of them.

They were on the last leg of their run. The home stretch. When, suddenly, a dark SUV came out of nowhere and blocked the road in front of the white truck. A handful of masked men jumped out of the SUV with guns drawn. They approached the truck, pointing their guns at Ratboy who sat behind the wheel of the truck.

"Get out of the truck and keep your hands up!" one of the masked men yelled. "And don't try any funny business!"

Ratboy kept his hands up as he got out of the truck. He prayed that the other guy would realize that he wasn't following them anymore. His prayers were answered when bullets started whizzing past his head. He tried to drop to the ground, but he was brought to his feet and was used as cover for one of the masked men.

"Get the truck, and let's get the fuck out of here!" one of them ordered.

The man holding Rat shoved him into the ditch at the side of the road. He started for the SUV to make for the getaway, but fell short when a bullet from someone from SAMCRO hit him in the leg. His crew must have cared more for the cargo in the truck then one of their men because both the truck and the SUV sped off in the other direction.

Rat scrambled to his feet checking for any bullet holes as Jax, Happy, and Chibs ran to the guy laying in the road. Happy took the man's gun away while Jax grabbed the man by the front of his jacket.

"Who are you?" Jax demanded. When he didn't get an answer, he drew his fist back and then connected it to the guy's face. "Tell us who you are!"

"Jackie, this is not the place for this," Chibs warned as he looked around.

Jax reluctantly nodded and stood up. His VP was right. Anyone could come across them out there. "Call Montez. Tell him to bring the van to pick up this piece of shit," Jax ordered Tig. Tig nodded and then walked away to make the call. Jax then looked to Chibs. "Fix up his leg. I don't want him to die before he tells us where they took the guns." He ran his fingers through his hair. "And clear off the road. We don't need anyone calling the cops."

Jax walked back to his bike. He pulled out his pack of cigarettes as stared up at the night sky. He wished things could go their way just once. That they could do what they need to without something getting in their way, but that's what happens when you're on the wrong side of the law.

After heading home for a shower and spending some time with Tara and the boys, it was late morning by the time Jax rode up to their gun warehouse outside of Charming.

They had let Happy take their new friend up here to get some answers out of him. Jax hoped that Hap had gotten something out of him. If they weren't able to get the guns back in time, shit was going to hit the fan.

Happy and Chibs walked towards Jax as he walked into the warehouse. Their guest was chained to a chair, and he didn't look so good.

"I can't get anything out of him," Happy said as he wiped the blood off his hands. "And I've tried everything I can think of without killing him."

"Shit," Jax muttered.

"We need to find those guns, Jackie," Chibs said pointedly. "The Mayans will not be happy if their shipment is late. They already paid for it."

"I know that," Jax snapped. He let out a sigh. "Look, we got to find out who these guys are, and where they took the guns. And we need to do it soon."

"I'll keep trying to get him to talk, but I know someone who could get it done fast," Happy said hoarsely.

"We don't have the kind of money to hire someone," Chibs said automatically.

Happy smirked. "Don't worry. They owe me a favor."

Jax and Chibs shared a look. They didn't have a better idea at the moment. Chibs shrugged his shoulders before walking away.

"Make the call," Jax told Happy.
