Lia's Return (Mulligan Clan)

South Carolina

Lia

      Colin was put on ice.  Uncle Rowan had made the call when Finn told him of the situation with Ella.  In his words, Sean couldn't be in two places at once.  And her father needed to be South Caroline to help find Ella.  Though thanks to a couple of heavy seditives he'd needed to be carried onto the private jet.  Mum had drugged the poor man when it was clear he'd not listen to reason.  The man had been beaten badly and needed to heal.  Neither knew of Colin and it would stay that way till her father came out and asked.

    It had taken four hours to get everything planned out for the trip.  They'd finally recieved a call back from Oliver and talked to Ripper.  In the bar the whole family was informed of Ella's kidnapping and the Petrov connection.  Grandda had simply sat quietly as Hugo took charge of the planning of things. 

     Seated beside Liam she worked it all over in her mind.  No one knew yet beyond beyond the choice few of her kin.  Colin was dead and Lia felt not a single ounce of grief.  It was silently agreed upon that the fewer that knew the truth the better.  Looking around at the faces on the plain she was still surprised at the numbers.

    Of the Black's, Royce and Raine had remained behind so that Liam and Quinn could come.  Grand Da, Hugo, Killian, Dervil,Uncle Duncan and Aunt Ryan sat together to the rear of the plane.  Mum sat with her father who was still sleeping .  Finn had been forced to stay behind and boy had he been pissed off for it.  Between business and his injuries he had quite the man fit over being left behind.

    Sara had been right to warn the mc that the irish were invading.  With the Sara's crew it was a fully loaded plane.  Gideon had surprised them all when he'd stayed behind.  He'd been set on watching Eamon and played it off as staying to help Finn. 

   "We'll be landing in 20 minutes" Kit offered coming to take a seat beside Quinn across from Liam and her.  "My father also informed me that he left a group of ten members back in Boston to help if needed there" he added looking between her and Liam with a quirk of a smile on his face.  Lia couldn't understand what he found so amusing about this situation.  Her sister was missing. "North" he simply offered when she quirked a brow in quiestion.

    "What's North?" Liam questioned

    "More like who brother.  North is Oliver Mulligan's road name though he isn't a patched member" Quinn answered shooting Lia a look that she knew well. 

   "Not like I've had a whole lot of time to play get to know me" she shot back at the man and had Kit looking between her and Liam who remained silent beside her.  What it was true.  It had been just over two weeks since she'd arrived in Boston.  They were sleeping together but that was it for now as far as she knew. 

   "Time enough for that in the future" Liam finally spoke and his words had a little happy zing shooting through her.  "Fill me in on the south carolina club.  It's the mother chapter correct?" he then questioned taking her hand and lacing their fingers together.

   "Ripper, Switch and Boomer.  Pres, VP and Enforcer.  All three men earned their places as did theit old lady's.  Delta's a man called Crow and he'd going to be a handful.  Man was childhood friends with Kaiah" Kit answered but Lia had to disagree on Crow being the handful they'd have to work with.

   During her earlier stay in south carolina Lia and Quinn had done some pretty deep digging on all the members.  Aye Crow and Kaiah had history but Lia's bet was on Holiday and Reaper being the handfuls. Her thoughts were cut off as the pilot informed them that it was landing time.  Blah blah sit your ass down and buckle up stuff that was on ever flight. As none of them but Kit has moved during the flight it seemed a little redundant.
