Insecurities
The celebrations didn't last long after th eyes walked out through the chapel doors. Jax had his arm slung around Clara's shoulder and Ratboy and Miles looked at her shocked once they seen the vest on her back.
"Hey Clay we've got company!"
Phil said and pointed up to the tv screen that showed Sheriff Roosevelt and another car waiting outside on the street. Jax removed his arm from around Clara's shoulder and looked up at the screen along side everyone else.
"Yeah, he's probably waiting to tail us. Follow us once we leave."
Jax said stepping up beside Clay. Clay's eyes never left the screen as he watched the people moving about down the block.
"Well if he does he can't follow all of us."
Clay suggested.
"Uh... Jax and Opie you're with me. The rest of you I need your help getting us there. Squiggy, you're driving the tow truck."
Clay said as he started to walk away. Miles turned and raided his voice a bit in question watching as Clay went to leave the room.
"Is this because you're upset with me?"
He called out. Juice snorted as he along with everyone else started to walk past him, only Juice stopped for a moment and got up close to Miles's face and gave him a rather intimidating once over.
"It's because we're on parole genius."
"Meaning they can only ride together unless they're working."
Clara finished up causing Miles to turn and look at her. He narrowed his eyes slightly looking from her vest and back up to her face. She knew good and well that Miles wasn't the least bit happy seeing that vest on her. Even though he had taken orders from her while the boys were away now that they were back it was obvious that he hadn't had any plans to continue to follow them.
She knew this and Miles knew that she knew it when she rolled her eyes and shook her head walking away with the rest of the guys outside, only slowing down briefly to overhear Clay telling Tig to stay close to her. She acted as if she hadn't heard them talking. Tig seemed rather flustered about not being at Clay's side, but calmed down a bit once Clay told him to keep an eye out on her.
Walking outside to their bikes they all climbed on them. Clara noticed that there wasn't really anyone else left standing around now as the welcome party had all dispersed probably half an hour or more ago. Which in Clara's case was rather lucky for her seeing as how Gemma would have probably thrown a massive fit had she seen the patch on Clara's back.
Speaking of which, she made the mental note that she would have to avoid Gemma for the remainder of their lives. That is to say if she wanted to stay alive.
Riding down the road behind the tow truck and at the back of the group made Clara a bit nervous. Even with Tig in the back with her and the other Prospects, she was still nervous about being officially riding with the Club.
She knew she shouldn't have allowed it to happen, but she quickly found herself thinking back to when she had first asked Clay about joining the Club. He had straight up turned her down, saying that the Club was no place for a woman... that was three years ago.
"Clara!"
Tig yelled put, pulling her attention from her thoughts and making her look his way through her shades. He nodded behind him causing her to glance in her left mirror and seen the cops behind them. She snorted it was just as Jax had said they were gonna follow them.
As the car drove up closer behind her, she had gotten an idea. As Clay gave the signal that they were gonna split apart and he, Jax, and Opie broke and the cops tried to follow Clay and the others Clara slammed on her breaks and had the cops hit the back of her bike.
"Shit! Clara!"
Tig yelled, causing Chibs's head to whip back around and seen what happened. Clara swerved a bit as she steadied the bike back again. It was then when she got steady again that the cops tried to bypass her - they had missed their turn - she swerved to block them again.
"Oi!!"
Chibs yelled out as he slowed down along with Bobby and Happy to the point where they had the car boxed in, slowing them down even more. Clara was still in front and apparently the cops didn't approve of her strategy and rammed her once more, only this time sending her to the right and off the road.
"Shit! Clara!"
She heard someone call out - or at least she thought - as she barreled off the road and put her bike down in the gravel patch to her right. Her bike slid while she gave several rolls before she came to a stop and laid there unmoving on her back.
She could hear her heart in her ears as she laid there, her chest in pain as she was breathing too fast. Her asthma was triggered and it was hard for her to breathe. She had too much excitement happening and she knew she needed her inhaler - which was currently sinking into her ass in her back pocket.
Hearing some bikes pull up beside her, she realised that she hadn't moved, probably worrying everyone.
"Clara! Clara!"
She unhooked her helment and tossed it to the ground as she sat up, her chest hurting more as she fully sat up. Looking over she seen Chibs making a mad dash for her as she shook her head and pointed to her chest.
Chibs kneeled down and helped her to turn over, knowing by know where she normally carried her inhaler. Grabbing it out of her pocket he shook it several times before popping off the cap and handing it to her. She nodded a thanks as she took the two puffs.
Feeling her chest ease up Clara put the cap back on just in time to have a gun thrusted in her face by the very angry police officers.
"Get up! Get up! Get over there now!"
They yelled. Chibs helped Clara up to her feet as they were pushed over to the large wooden posts that were lined along the highway and each of them handcuffed to a different one. Clara was cuffed between Tig and Happy, while the police went back to the car.
"Hey, you okay?"
Tig asked, clearly worried about her.
"Yeah, nothing a little sitting down won't fix."
She replied.
"You are one crazy son of a bitch, girl."
Bobby said shaking his head and giving a slight chuckle.
"Hey it worked didn't it?"
She called down.
"Oh aye, it worked alright."
Chibs said unamused.
"On another note... what are ya'll getting Opie and Lyla for a wedding gift?"
She asked again. She listened as Juice said he was giving them ten free passes to some type of cleansing shop. Happy was "mindful spending"...
"You reuse condoms!"
Juice called out making the guys wince and be grossed out. Clara simply turned her head toward Happy with a raised brow.
"How does that work? Do you flip it inside out to clean it or what?"
"Ew Clara! Don't ask him that!"
Juice called out. Clara looked down the line.
"Hey you can't blame me if I'm curious! Not like I have a dick to test this shit out!"
Tig just snickered and Bobby shook his head and then Chibs seemed very much done with this conversation.
"You can have my dick anytime, doll."
Tig teased. Clara sent him a look with a smirk. It was one of those "You need to shut up now" looks, knowing good and we'll that Chibs would be more than pissed.
"Yeah, like that'll ever happen."
Bobby called out, causing the rest of the guys - except for Clara, Tig, and Chibs - to laugh. It wasn't long after their little joking did the cop return and release each of them. He refused to look at Clara as he uncuffed her and gave them all the go ahead to leave.
As Clara walked back to her bike, Chibs was right behind her, but didn't say a word. She knew he was upset over the stupid thing Tig said, knowing good and well that Tig was just being himself. But the history between the two of them, Chibs knew it well enough to know better.
Tig was more than capable of taking her in the bedroom if he wanted, and that scared Chibs something awful. He only hoped that if worst came to worse and Clara ever found herself in that situation, she wouldn't allow it to happen. He watched as he started up his bike as she leaned over and picked up hers that had slid across the gravel.
She climbed on top after grabbing her helmet and putting it on, fasting it before starting up her bike. She didn't bother to look at Chibs, she could feel his eyes on her as she started to take off to catch up with the rest of the guys.
Chibs and Tig both not far behind.
