Everyone turned to see Jax standing there, stark still and coiled up. Sarah stared at him, wondering at the look on his face. His dark green eyes were harder than she’d ever seen them, and he somehow seemed larger than usual. Pure rage poured off him, but it was ice-cold, as cold as his face, and its intensity made her shake.Jax saw Sarah’s body trembling, and the urge to beat Joker off her started to overwhelm him. He had to stay calm now, though, to keep this situation from escalating. These fuckers were out of their minds on something, and that only made them more dangerous, less predictable. He felt King at his side, saw Dillon and Curtis close to Sarah, and he knew that Aidan was around somewhere. He’d trust his life to any of them; he’d even trust Sarah’s.On the other hand, Joker Kane’s asshole jacked-up buddies were all here, too, and they were starting to make noise. Shouting at Joker, at Jax, at Sarah. The volume rose and rose, and Jax saw Sarah start to lose it. He met her

He shook himself. He had to hold it together for Sarah. She looked shocked and unfocused right now, but it was going to hit her soon enough. When it did, he’d have to be comforting.“OK, Red.” She looked up at him, surprised at him using that teasing nickname in a light tone. “Let me fix you up.”He cleaned the cut, then gently stuck a bandage on it, barely pressing down at all. His large hands were tender, careful, and she closed her eyes at his touch. She felt shattered now, almost weak, and she longed to just curl up and go to sleep.“Sarah?”“Hmmmm?” she murmured.“Hey, you here?”“Yeah. I’m just tired all of a sudden.”“It’s the shock. Lie down with me for a few minutes.”Jax yanked off his bloody t-shirt, pulled her down onto the sofa. He stretched out on his back, and she rested her head on his shoulder. She lay her palm flat on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, its steady rhythm calming and centering her. Jax pulled her in tight and stroked her hair, listened to her breathing

“Murdoch lost it. He fucking flipped out, totally. They were in the park late at night, and he dragged her into some bushes, and strangled her. It was late autumn, so he was wearing gloves, and he took the pictures with him, of course.”“Was there a trial?”“Nope. Not enough evidence.”Sarah paused. “The friend from the restaurant would have had copies of the pictures, right? Wouldn’t they be able to testify to the blackmail plan? She'd at least be able to say that she saw the pictures, and she knew about the plan. Isn’t that motive for him to hurt your Mom?”“Sure. Except for the fact that this woman claimed that none of that ever happened.”“Len Murdoch got to her.” Sarah touched his chest, knowing that she was right. “Paid her off. Bought her silence.”“Sure did. She quit her waitressing job, bought a house in Miami, moved away, never to be heard from again. That was the end of the case, since no witness was found, and there was no strong suspect.”“Yeah,” Sarah said again. “Rich p

They drove up and down the city streets for hours, looking for Noah. At about five o’clock, Sarah’s phone rang again, and she pounced on it.“Mom?”Jax watched her face crumple in exhausted relief, and some of the tension left his shoulders. She disconnected, and looked out the window at the sunrise over the distant mountains.“He’s OK?” Jax said, wondering why he even had to ask.“Yeah. The cops picked him up and they’re just taking him home now.”“So… everything’s fine? He’s not hurt?”“He’s fine.” Her voice was flat, broken.Jax reached for her hand. “Sarah…”“No.” She pulled away. “Don’t, Jax.”He froze, his heart beating too fast.Fuck. Here it is. I’ve got to save this situation somehow.“Baby…”“No. Don’t call me that. Not anymore.”“Why not?”She turned to him now. “Because it’s over between us, Jax. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.”He pulled over, sure that he wouldn’t be able to handle having this conversation while operating a motor vehicle. “Sarah, look. I know you’re upset about

He staggered down the hallway to the crash rooms, and saw one of the doors was half-open. Sure enough, Raylene was in there. He slammed the door behind him, and her eyes flashed. “You got some pent-up tension there, Jax?”“You could say that.”“How do you want to relieve it?” she said. “Come over here,” he said roughly. “Down on your knees.”She came eagerly, and he undid his belt buckle, unzipped his jeans. She reached for his cock, looked a bit surprised when she saw his complete lack of arousal.She tipped her head back. “You need some help?”Jax closed his eyes. The thought of anyone but Sarah touching him made him feel physically sick. God, he missed her, everything about her, but he couldn’t be with her. And in this moment, that hard, bleak truth snapped his heart clean in half. He stood there, and knew that he was totally, completely, utterly, fucking heartbroken.“Raylene.” His voice was gentler than she’d ever heard it, and she gazed up at him in confusion. “I’m sorry, hon.
