A/N: It's definitely been a while...over a year since I have had a chance to update this story. It's a short chapter but one that needed to be written so I can get back into the swing of things. It's been a rough year but I'm hoping to be able to update and entertain you a few times a month. I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

I stood looking at Tig's outstretched hand. No one said a word. They didn't have to. It was if the thoughts running around in their heads were loud enough for me to hear without the words actually being said out loud. As I looked at them I could see what they were feeling. None of them would look me in the eye, yet they couldn't hide anything from me. The emotions of the SONS standing in front of me, the emotions of these men that were feared and respected by hundreds, were written across their faces. I saw anger, pity, sadness, concern and love. I knew I couldn't focus on the sadness, concern, love or pity. If I did it would break me. I needed to focus on the anger...the strength from the anger they were feeling and from what I was feeling. I had so much anger and rage inside of me. It was nothing like I felt before.

"Tig, I need to do this. If it's your job to protect your President, your Club and me then you need to let me do this. You can come with me but no one else. Please Tig, this is the only way you can help me...it's the only way you can help me heal." I told him, staring into blue eyes that were filled with anger.

I then turned to Jax. "Go home Jackson. Go home to our kids. Let me go. I need to do this. I need you to understand. I don't question your judgement when it comes to the Club, or Clay's judgement, but this is different. It has been one thing after another and I need it to end. I need what I feel inside of me to die, and the only way that's going to happen is to hurt Zobelle worse than he hurt me. I'm going to kill his daughter."

JAX'S P.O.V.

My heart continued to break as I looked at Lexi. She looked broken. She had been broken and hurt since shortly after arriving in Charming. God, the pain that she has endured because of her association with the Club is more than any human should have to experience in a lifetime. I sighed and ran my hand thru my hand. I knew I had to tread very carefully here.

"Lexi, give me the gun." I said to her in a no-nonsense tone. A tone that would have most females and all Prospects shaking in their shoes. But not my fiery redhead. She looked up at me with ice in her eyes. She was pissed...pissed at me...pissed at Clay...pissed at the Club...pissed at the World and she had every reason to be. "I'm not letting you become a killer. Tig is right. Revenge will change you. Trust me...trust us...to take care of it." I finished as my hand wrapped around her left hand that clutched the gun. "Plus, you're not a lefty babe. Chances of you shooting anyone with your left hand are slim to none." I said with a slight smile as I looked at her right wrist in a cast that the kids had drawn all over earlier with colored markers.

I handed the gun to Tig and gave him a swift nod. He looked at Clay, who had been standing silently, observing Lexi. Clay began barking orders in his gruff voice. "Tig, will get it done. It's not to be done here on Main Street and it does not come back to Lexi in any sort of way. Get rid of the gun afterwards. Ope, Kozik, Chibs and Quinn will go with him. We don't normally kill women but special exceptions can be made, like we did with that gash Wendy and that bitch Stahl. As far as I'm concerned, Zobelle's daughter is no better than her Father or any of his Aryan buddies. There will be blow back so we need to be ready for it. I want everyone at the Table in an hour to put the plan into action. We're also going to need time to reach out to some of the other Charters. I want to make sure Gemma, Lexi, Sophie and the kids are protected when this goes down."

I watched as Clay walked over to Lexi. "I promise you. We will get revenge for what was done to you. It won't be justice...it won't ever be enough, but I promise you, I won't let any of them get away with what they did. I love you Lexi-Kate. Let Jax take you home. Get some rest, enjoy being with your kids and I'll be by to see you when it's done. I know it's been a rough few years baby girl, but I will always be so thankful you worked up the courage to drive onto the lot that day and go toe-to-toe with Gemma before we got there." he told her as he hugged her.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

Hours later, after Jax had dropped me off at home without saying a word only giving me a quick kiss goodbye, I still hadn't heard from anyone. I went through the motions for the sake of the kids. I let Gemma help me with bath time for Abel, Savannah and Jack since I couldn't get my cast wet and it was hard to function with just my left hand. This was going to take some getting used to until I could get the cast off and regain use of my right hand. Surprisingly Gemma didn't say much to me but I could feel her watching me through dinner right up until we got the kids settled in their beds.

After I closed Abel's door, I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of wine. I then tucked the bottle under my arm, grabbed the glass I had just filled and walked out onto the back deck. It was driving me crazy not knowing what was happening. Was she dead? Did I condemn someone to death? Is this something I could live with? Was my quest for revenge really going to change me? If it did would Jax still love me? I couldn't shut my brain off as I sipped on my wine and looked out over the backyard and the pool. The lights reflecting off the pool made it seem so calm and inviting...it was like a mirage. Basically, it was a fraud...just like my life ended up being. A mirage making things look so perfect on the outside but that was so far from the truth. I just wanted to get drunk, forget everything and relax. Fuck, who am I kidding, I couldn't help but wonder. I wasn't going to relax until I heard from Jax or my Dad.

"Lexi..." I heard Gemma softly say as she opened the door from the kitchen and stepped out onto the deck. I turned and looked at her. Not sure how to read the look on her face. "There's someone at the front door to see you. Lorca and Donut didn't want to let him in. They tried getting a hold of Jax and Clay before talking to me but didn't have any luck in reaching either of them. And he doesn't want to deal with me. He needs the SAMCRO Princess apparently." she told me.

I got up from my chair. So much for peace and quiet I thought to myself as I walked through the house towards the front door. Who the hell would show up at my house that wouldn't be let in unless it was Club related. Obviously, it wasn't someone who meant me harm...if that was the case Donut and Lorca would have already taken care of them I thought as I opened the door and stepped out onto the front porch.

"Alexis, I'm sorry to bother you..." the voice said as he ascended the front steps. I recognized the man behind the voice and was shocked to see him at my house. Jax was going to be pissed because obviously it was club related. But the dark-haired man next to him, dressed in a three-piece suit next to him was someone I hadn't seen before. He was sexy, mysterious and had yet to introduce himself to me.
