Chapter 9

Once they had all landed in Charming Jax was the first one off the plane. He had handed Abel off to Gemma about ten minutes before landing and now all he could think about was Tara. He was wearing his blue hoodie which smelled like Tara even though it was a nice 80 degree day. He walked out pulling his phone from his pocket and calling Tara it went to voicemail. He closed the phone getting on his bike before taking off for the club house, not caring that he was the only one going right now. Tig stood outside the club house, waiting for Jax to show up. He knew Jax was going to be one unhappy guy.

Jax pulled up to Teller Morrow and killed his bike before getting off it. He walked up to Tig. "What do we know?" Jax was already in a panic mode. Tig sighed "Nothing new. I'm sorry Jax. He has to call though." Jax pulled a cigarette out of the pack and lit one up as he paced the parking lot. Everyone showed up, looking at Jax but not bothering him. Opie walked over and put his hand on Jax's shoulder. "He'll Call Jax. We'll find her." Jax looked up at him, a weird look in his eyes. "What if she's dead Op?" Opie shook his head, "She's not dead Jax. You'll get your girl back." Jax went to say something when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and felt his heart race when he saw Tara's face on the screen.

Salazar knew the sons had come back to Charming this morning, he was just waiting to call him. He looked over at the sleeping Tara and smirked, he almost felt bad about killing her. But he knew how to get to him. Finally he turned on Tara's phone and hit call. After two rings Jax's voice filled his ears. "Tara? Tara baby are you ok?" That made Salazar laugh. "Welcome back." He seethed into the phone. Jax gritted his teeth once he heard Salazar's voice. "Where the fuck is Tara?" He growled into the phone. Salazar looked over at Tara "She's asleep, or dead. Now you gonna meet me?" Jax was back to pacing, but now he was seeing red. "She better not be dead. Now put her on the phone." Salazar rolled his eyes before slapping Tara across the face.

Tara had been dreaming that she was home with Jax and Abel. Jax had just gotten Abel to sleep in her dream. But she was awaken with the slap across her face. She looked over at Salazar to see him on her phone. Salazar walked over with her phone. "Talk to your old man." He put the phone to her ear. "Tara? You there?" Jax asked panicky. Tara's eyes filled with tears as she heard him. "Jax. Is abel ok?" She asked trying to keep herself from crying. Jax stopped pacing once he heard Tara's voice over the phone. At least he knew she was alive. "Abel's fine, babe. He misses you." Tara smiled, "I can't wait to see him." Jax started to say something but Salazar ripped the phone from her ear. "So you know your old lady's alive. So you gonna come save her?" Jax was seething with anger; he wanted to make Salazar pay. "Where?"

Tara walked out to Salazar's car; it was the first time she had been outside in god knows how long. She took a deep breath of air before she was stuffed into the back seat of the car and blind folded. She had no idea where she was going, all she knew was she was going to be seeing Jax soon, Half of her couldn't wait to see him while the other half didn't want him to come save her. He was the reason she was stuck in this spot anyways. Now she found herself getting mad. If Jax hadn't fucked Ima then Tara would have gone with him to save Abel. Tara knew they had been in the car long enough that they were now outside of charming.

As soon as Jax had gotten off the phone he was ready. Turning he saw everyone waiting for him to say something. "I'm going to get her." He said as he walked passed them to go into the club house to get his knifes. He knew only one of the men would be walking away from this fight. And he would be damned if he died without saving Tara. He walked into his room and sighed, as he went for his bullet proof vest. He climbed over the bed and saw a picture of him and Tara. It had been taking at Gemma's house. They had looked so happy. He wanted it back. He grabbed the vest and took his shirt off before strapping the vest to his chest. He started to go through his drawers turning as he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." He yelled, turning to see Gemma.

Gemma had been trying to keep everything together. She knew this was killing Jax but she also knew that it was up to him to save Tara. "You ok?" She asked sitting on his bed and watching him. Jax looked at her "I'm going to get her. And when I do, I'm killing Salazar. "She nodded as she started to fold clothes to keep her busy. " I know baby. I wouldn't want it any other way. Just get your woman back." Jax smirked as he grabbed everything. Before standing in front of Gemma. "I'll see you soon." Gemma stood up and hugged him, before looking at him. "You two come back to me. You got it?" Jax nodded before walking to the door. "I'll get her mom." He walked out the door, ready to save his old lady.
