Chibs grumbled to himself. The meeting he had just finished up was about Opie and him returning to the club today to talk to them all about what had been happening. Jax had at first reassured them that Opie wasn't a rat and then turned right around and told Clay that if he was indeed a rat, Jax would kill him himself.

Chibs didn't really wanna believe it as much as anyone else that Opie could have been a rat. But when push came to shove anything could have been possible with ATF sticking their nose in the club business.

Chibs had found her outside resting on the pic-nick table. Clara was laying back on the table and looking up at the tin cover. The first thing Chibs noticed when he walked up was her exposed stomach and her fingers feeling out across her belly.

Her other arm was draped back underneath her head. Chibs walk slowed a bit as he approached, watching her breathe slowly as her fingers played across her stomach. Her shirt pushed up to right under her bra.

"Ya ready ta' go lass?"

Chibs's voice drew her out of her thoughts as she turned her head and smiled toward him.

"Hey, yeah let's rock."

She said as she climbed up off the table and fixed her shirt. She followed Chibs over to his bike and stood there while he got on. She waited till he looked at her and then she climbed right onto the back.

"Ye' don't mind ridin' bitch?"

Chibs asked with a slight amusement in his voice. She just scoffed and clicked the buckle on her helment.

"It's nice to just ride rather than drive every now and then. After all -- "

She said as she placed her hands on his hips and gave them a light squeeze.

"Bitch is the right term for me."

Chibs couldn't help but laugh before he started up his bike and rolled out of the parking lot with her on the back. The ride didn't take long as they went down the road to an old CD and Records store. There wasn't a whole lot in a the choice of movies, but there was enough to catch her eye.

As they walked in Clara quickly noticed that the store clerk seemed nervous right off the bat. She ignored this since it was probably due to Chibs being there.

She wasn't stupid, she knew that Clay ran things the same way her daddy did down South in the neighboring town. The clerk was more than likely paying "protection costs" and wasn't expecting to see a "Son" showing up at his shop.

"Can I help you with anything?"

The clerk asked as he peered at the woman in his shop. Clara just smiled and shook her head, already seeing where the movies were located in the back.

"No thanks, just here for some movies."

The clerk seemed to ease a bit after that and gave her a small nod and returned the smile. Clara looked back over her shoulder at Chibs who was looking around the store before his eyes fell onto her -- she gave him a smile as well, but turned away before seeing if he returned it or not.

She walked to the back wall and zoned the section a bit, seeing some horror and actions movies that she had back at home she picked those up and held them to her.

"Already found somethin' have ya'?"

Chibs asked as he looked over at her and to the movies in her arms.

"Yeah, just some movies that I had back home that I didn't bother bring with me. Figured I'd watch them tonight -- remind me of the good times."

She said with a small smile upon her lips. Chibs nodded his head, not really saying much else and allowed her to browse till she was done. She picked out several movies, enough to keep occupied for a while at least since she really wasn't suppose to go out by herself with the feds all round.

When she was done she walked back up to the counter and placed the movies down on the counter. The clerk looked at them and started to bag them up for her. He seemed uneasy again once Chibs walked back up and stood beside [Name]. Once the clerk was done bagging her movies he handed her back the bag and she started digging through her wallet, only to be stopped by the clerk.

"Take 'em they're yours!"

He said, causing her to stop and look up at him. She narrowed her eyes and shook her head, surprising Chibs.

"No, please, I insist!"

"Look, I dunno what you're so afraid of -- but I'm not a member of the Son's. Also, I don't steal, I pay for my shit."

She told him bluntly causing him to stare at her wide-eyed.

"Aye, tha' might be lass. But if the man says you dun't hav'a pay, then you dun't hav'a pay."

Chibs replied just as Clara pulled out a $50 bill and left it on the counter before she looked over at Chibs.

"Sorry, didn't do it prior to being with the Club -- not gonna start doing it now." she informed Chibs before turning back to the clerk and giving him a large smile. "Have a nice day!"

And she then walked out with Chibs following close behind her. When they got to the bike, instead of getting on Chibs stopped and looked at her and if he couldn't believe what she just did.

"Ya' do realize tha' the monies just gonna come right back to us for protection fees?"

Chibs told her, looking down at her unreadable expression. She finally broke it and gave him a faint smile.

"Well, all the more reason to pay for my stuff then if the monies going to the Club."

Chibs stood there baffled for a moment, understanding why she had done what she had done. He shook his head and waved off her comment, curious about this woman now more than every, but that curiosity would have to wait -- he had a meeting to get to back at the Club once he dropped her off.

Back at the Club everyone had flooded the chapel. Chibs had left Clara to go wander and do as she pleased while they condoned their meeting. Walking in through the door everyone turned to look at the man, who quickly took his seat.

He noticed one thing -- Opei was back.

"Did my girl get what she needed?"

Clay asked, putting the meeting on pause for a moment. Chibs nodded as he sat down in his chair next to Tig, who was looking at him.

"Aye. Even convinced the clerk t' allow 'er to pay fur 'er stuff knowin' tha' the money was just gonna come back ta us."

Everyone gave a small chuckle of their own. Clay smiled and nodded his head before he sighed and shook it.

"She's always been like that."

Clay said, taking a large drag of his cigar and exhaling the smoke into the room.

"Now, as I was saying -- "

Clara walked out of her room and down the hall into the main area of the place. She needed something to drink and she wasn't really wanting beer right now. She knew that they sometimes kept bottled water in the fridge for guest who didn't drink. But, right as soon as she had bent down behind the bar to open the mini-fridge the doors to the meeting room opened and she heard everyone piling out of the room.

As she stood up, she was just in time to see Opie walking toward the bar and seeming rather startled as she came up from behind it. They both smiled at one another as he walked around the bar with a quick step and grabbed her up into his arms for a large bear hug.

"Hey there Doc! It's good to see you!"

Opei laughed while Clara's feet dangled off the ground. She laughed too and hugged him back.

"Opie! It's been so long! It's good to see you too!"

"Hey now, don't crush my cousin, bro."

Jax said walking up and standing on the other side of the bar with a smile on his face. Opei put her down, but kept his hands on her shoulders and he looked her up and down seeming amazed.

"Wow look at you! Last time I saw you was -- what? Almost ten years!?"

"I think it's more along the lines of twelve years -- but you're an old man now, so I'll allow you to slide on forgetting this once!"

Her reply caused her to be put into a headlock by Opie as he rubbed her head with his fists playfully. She screamed out and laughed, drawing everyone's attention -- as if they weren't already looking from before -- and causing them to all laugh at the playfulness that Opie showed Clara.

"Alright you two, knock it off."

Tig said strolling up and past them to grab a bottle of beer. He popped it open and took a swig before throwing his arm over Clara's shoulder and smirking down at her.

"You don't wanna end up messing with this little spit fire here. She's dangerous."

Tig chuckled and Clara only snorted and playfully smacked his arm off from around her shoulders. Opie looked slightly worried about what Tig meant by her being dangerous and all.

"Apparently, little Miss. Morrow here has claws. Was working a tow with Tig when a woman came up and started getting all handsy with Tig -- "

"Well, that's not surprising." Opie chuckled, causing Tig to roll his eyes.

"And she chased off the lady with a few nice words."

Jax finished causing Opie to turn back to Clara and laugh when he seen her serious look that she had put on after Jax's story telling.

"No waaaay. I knew you were rough as a kid, but damn that's awesome to hear!"

Opie said as he laughed again along with Jax, herself, and Tig. Just then Clay walked over to see what all the fun was about.

"We gotta go make this happen."

He said looking between all three of his men. Tig nodded and walked away without another word. Opei turned to Clara and gave her one final hug as he whispered that he'd see her again soon. Then Jax gave her a pat on the shoulder and a wink prior to his leaving.

Before she knew it she was all alone in the bar by herself and everyone had gone.
