Chapter 9: Capybara
(Her night clothes)
The sunlight shined through the darkened room. It inhabitant laid asleep only to groan once the light hit their face. Their face belonging to Lucy, who turned around burying herself in the covers like a cocoon. The smells of breakfast drifted into her nose, making her slowly wake up. She blinks twice before moving her hand to wipe the sleepiness from her eyes. She got out her bed, putting on her slipping on her slides, before walking down the stairs. She was greeted with sight of Amara cooking breakfast.
(Amara's night clothes)
"Morning". Lucy said as she kisses both Amelia and Charlie on the cheek, sitting down. The children enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches.
"Good morning. How did you sleep?" Amara said as she put a cup of joe in front of Lucy.
"Thanks. It was good. Slept like a baby." Lucy said as she put creamer and sugar in her coffee before taking a sip.
"You're welcome. So, when do you go back to work?" Amara said as she finished cooking the breakfast sandwiches, wrapping the ones for the boys up and set two in front of her and Lucy.
"I'm using sick days so in two more days. How long Chris letting you be down here?" Lucy said as she started eating her sandwich piece by piece.
"Me and Chris is not on speaking terms but next week is when we are leaving back to Ellaville." Amara said.
"Oh lord what happen now?!" Lucy said rolling her eyes.
"He cheated on me again with his fitness trainer." Amara said making her kids look sad. Even though, her kids were young, but they still noticed how their father treated their mother. Tommy and Jaquan didn't like it at all to the fact that they had to threaten their own dad.
Amara and Chris were childhood sweethearts. Their relationship to Lucy was very toxic. Chris had record of cheating on her. He was loving and caring at one point and the next minute a complete jackass the next. Lucy admired how strong her sister was to deal with him. Lucy would've packed her bags and left if it was her. That's why when her pops set her up here with everything she needed: Protection, people to use to her disposal. She was happy he didn't give up on her.
"You need to leave him and move down here." Lucy said as she touches her sister's hand.
Amara sighs before looking at her sister. Lucy gave her that look before crossing her arms.
"I'm supposed to be the oldest one". Amara said making Lucy smile.
"Hey! Hey! I didn't say yes. It's a maybe". Amara said making Lucy look at her before pouting at her with her head in her hands.
"Aww...Don't pout". Amara said messing with Lucy's cheeks. Lucy slaps her hands from her cheeks.
"Where's Tommy and Jaquan?" Lucy said as she finished drinking the rest of her coffee.
"Still sleeping, I swear they sleep like hibernating bears." Amara said making everyone laugh.
"I miss this." Lucy said finally calming down from laughing.
"Me too. With the things that happen with ma and pops, sorry I wasn't there for you". Amara said as she finally wanted to clear the elephant in the room.
"It's okay. you had your own life to worry about. There was nothing you could do." Lucy said with a hand on her sister's hand. Lucy knew she was easing her sister's guilt. She noticed that Mitchell and Amara both carried guilt of what happen when they shouldn't. It was on her, everything was.
"How are they?... Ma and Pop." Lucy said sadly as she pulled her hand from her sister's.
Amara looked at her with a shock expression on her face not expecting her to ask about them.
"They're fine Luci. Same as they always been." Amara said looking at her sister with pity.
Lucy caught the look before avoiding eye contact with her. Charlie signals that she is done making Lucy sends her to go watch tv, with Amelia following.
After their heart to heart, the doorbell ring alerting them someone was at the door. Lucy and Amara shared looks.
"Are you expecting company?" Amara said watching as Lucy got up, walking to the door.
"No." Lucy said as she grabs her 38 calibers from the vase behind her door. Amara urged Amelia and Charlie to the room in the back just in case.
"Who is it?" Lucy said while she held the gun with Amara watching from the safeness of her kitchen.
"It's Jax Darlin'. I need your help." Jax said with his voice in worry.
Lucy hid the gun back before opening the door.
"Hey, you okay?" Lucy said as she steps to the side letting him in. Jax came in catching Amara's eye who wave at him when he nodded.
"Yeah Darlin' I'm fine. I need your expertise." Jax said as he tried not to look at how beautiful Lucy looked in her night clothes.
"Why? What's going on?" Lucy said with a small tilt to the head.
Jax wanted to smile at how cute she was as she gestures for him to sit down as the other woman brought him what look like a breakfast sandwich. He nodded to her as she sat down to watch how it goes. All the stress with Opie and everything was getting to him as he ate sometimes groaning at the wonderful taste of the sandwich.
"The ATF Agent Stahl is back and she's framing Opie to look like a rat." Jax said as he looks at her and the woman, who brought her tea.
"Which he's not?" Lucy questioned to make sure what she about to do wouldn't mess with her life. But due to the number of things that happen since she been here, she knew she wouldn't have a normal care-free life, but that would depend on if she wasn't called to do more lives.
"No, of course not." Jax said as he stared at her. Lucy raised her hands in surrender before telling her sister to get her phone from her room. Jax watch as the woman walk in the backroom.
"Who is she?" Jax said as the woman left.
"My sister Amara." Lucy said shocking Jax, now he could see where she got her looks from. They could at least be twins. Amara finally came back with her phone. She gave it to her; Amara watch her sister as she strolls down her contacts to look for her friend's name for help.
When she presses the call button, the person answered on first ring.
"Yes beautiful, how may I help you?" The male voice said.
It made Jax jealous as he heard the man call her 'Beautiful'.
"Misha, Lawyers/ P.I investigation is needed." Lucy said as she stood with her hand on her hip with Jax and Amara looking on.
"Right on it, Beautiful. Our best is on the way and Peter will investigate." Misha said as he gave the nod to one of his employees, who nodded going to tell the headquarters.
"Thank you so much. I owe you big time". Lucy said to Misha, who started smiling.
"Dinner maybe when I'm in town." Misha said making Lucy smile. It hurt Jax to see her smile because of someone else and not him.
"Smooth" Lucy said dragging the word while laughing.
"Alright, I'll get to it. See you then" Misha said.
"Yeah bye." Lucy said hanging up the phone as she turns to look at them.
"Misha, a friend is sending down lawyers and help to clear Opie's name." Lucy said as she sat down crossing her legs over each other.
" Thanks Darlin'." Jax said standing up as he headed towards the door.
"Will you be ok?" Amara said finally speaking to the man that stole her sister's heart.
Jax only nodded before walking out. He didn't have to worry anymore about Opie with the help of Lucy.
Third Pov:
Misha sent six lawyers and Peter down to Charming, California at the request of his Lucy. Some would say she had him wrapped around her finger. They knew each other since she was a Cam Girl. They were introduced by her manager that kept her close. Only accepting men close enough for the both of them. That's where he had met Byron, Lucy's ex- boyfriend, who kept a hold her and her life. When he met Lucy, she was so sweet and charming. He didn't like her manager, who use her as a money bag. Misha had to push his way into her circle because of how tight they held her close. He was happy when she had stop being a Cam Girl, keeping her new friends close from connections. He waited in his office waiting till they gave him the deeds of what happen.
The lawyers headed to the witness program center. Peter headed to Opie's house checking everything for wires. The lawyers walk in, with eyes watching their every move. Agent Stahl and her agents started walking towards them.
"And who the hell are you?" Stahl said to the head lawyer George.
"Here to represent Harry "Opie" Winston. You can't talk to my client. making them seem like a liability to his crew is worse." George said holding up the paper, watching as Stahl face fall.
"He's very important to my case". Stahl said to him in a calm angry.
"I'm sure but I'm his lawyer he can't talk to you until you can fully tie him to the case." George said as he nodded to Nicole and Charlotte to go get the Winstons.
To say Stahl was pissed was a statement, she was furious.
Nicole returned with the Winston. Donna and Opie cuddled while walking with their children. Stahl tried to patronize them.
"You know that I'll be picking you up again Opie." Stahl said.
"As soon as we put this case together you will be tried for murder." Stahl continued making Opie look at her.
"I guess I'll see you then." Opie said bringing Donna closer to him.
"Going back to the club is a mistake. It puts you and your family at risk." Stahl said making George look at them.
"Our team will keep the Winstons safe." George said to Stahl, tired of the woman talking as they walked further.
"I can protect my family." Opie retorted to Stahl.
"Do you believe that? Huh?" Stahl said. Stahl turn to look at Donna.
"You need to start thinking about your kids. Donna, what kind of mother are you going to be?" Stahl said to Donna, who stared at her.
"The kind who doesn't bail on her family." Donna said as she looks at her before looking at Opie.
"Let's go." Donna said before her and them left.
After they walk out, George grab Opie's phone, throwing it to the ground before stepping on it.
"What the hell!" Opie said. George handed him a new phone with all his information on there. He pulled the tracker to show it to Opie and his family.
"A tracker." George said as their van came to pick them up.
Peter looks through Opie's car trying to find wire after finding one in his motorcycle. He looked everywhere before finding it in the case still. He pulled it out, crushing it. The lawyers drop them off at their home. The Winstons saw an unknown man outside their house as they got out the van.
"Two wires found in your truck and motorcycle." Peter said as they walk up.
"Good Job Peter." George said as him and Nicole walk past with Opie and Donna. Peter nodded, walking over to his car. Sitting in his car, he reported back to Misha.
Misha listened as peter reported back to him. He nodded towards his right hand to get him some info on Agent Stahl. That problem would need to be fix. He leans back in his chair while playing with a picture of both him and Lucy.
"Oh yes. That lady would need to be dealt with." Misha said as he looks at the picture.
Tig didn't find anything but still couldn't accept that Opie was innocent. He had gone behind everyone's backs including his president Clay's back. But soon he will see everything has a consequence. Choices are domino effects and Tig would find out the hard way.
