Chapter Thirty One

Storm sat in the clubhouse, it was still early but everyone was up and milling around, preparing for the day ahead. Grey was in his pram happily playing with the soft toys that hung from overhead. Storm pulled back the slide on her gun, after cleaning it and reloading it. "Good, I was just going to ask if you were carrying." Tig said as he walked over with a cup of coffee in hand. "Just because I moved, doesn't mean I stopped carrying." Storm replied sliding the gun into her bag. "I want you to take this." Kozik said walking over and handing her a switchblade which she took adding it to her bag. "Thanks Koz." Storm said before leaning over Grey in his pram and kissing his forehead.

"Lets go over the plan one last time before you head out." Clay said as everyone gathered around. "I spend the next few hours running simple errands and staying in contact even though you'll be tracking my phone. Then I go to the meeting point just outside of town where I pull over and wait. Happy will stop by and then he is going to get the phone call and take off." Storm said calmly as she looked around the room noticing the worry on certain faces.

"Seriously I'll be fine. I've got it covered. Now for Grey, prospect, Donut and Bobby are staying with him and the dogs. Bottles are made and in the kitchen, remember to check the temperature before giving them to him." Storm told the three charged with looking after him for the day. "Ill see you later then. Look after my boy." Storm said as she picked up her keys and handbag and walked out to her car.

The morning had flown by and Storm drove to the edge of town where she would be meeting Happy, noticing that the car that has been following since she left the clubhouse was still following her, one phone call early confirmed her suspicions after she got the vehicles plate that it was the guy who was after Tig and now her. Storm gets to the meeting point and pulls over, she gets out of the car and leans against the hood of the car, looking around at how deserted the spot really is.

Storm heard a bike coming towards her and watched as Happy pulled up beside her. "You alright?" Happy asked as he shut off his bike. "Yeah, I'm good." Storm answered. "Did he follow you here?" Happy asked. "Yeah, he's parked up about a half mile back behind the tree line." Storm told him casually just as his phone rang. He took the call before ending it and taking off, going to meet the club at their vantage point.

Storm noticed the car making its way towards her just as planned, he pulled in behind her and parked, getting out and walking up to her. "Do you need some help?" He asked. "No thanks." Storm answered as she went to open the door to get back in. He reached out, grabbing her tightly and shoving her back against her car. "I know who you are and who your father is, he killed my brother and now he gets to lose someone he loves" He said as he pulled his gun from his waistband, pointing it at her. "Start walking." He said as he jammed the gun into her side. "No." Storm said strongly, only serving to anger him. He quickly coiled his hand into a fist and punched her in her face, then slamming her back harder against the car, and then throwing her to the ground.

The club pulled up just as he aimed the gun at her on the ground, Happy jumped off his bike and placed his gun to his head. "Drop it." Happy growled as he complied, Tig quickly grabbing from gun. Kozik got out of the van and walked straight over to Storm, helping her up and taking a look at her face. "I'm fine." Storm grumbled glaring past Kozik to the man. "Koz, get her back to the lot." Clay ordered as he nodded. Storm walked round to the passenger side and got in. "Get some ice on her face as soon as you get back." Chibs told Kozik as he got in the car, glancing at Storm, he started the car and pulled away, leaving the club to deal with the now bound and gagged man.

Storm leaned against the window, watching as the world went by, a headache forming. "You sure you're alright?" Kozik asked breaking the silence. "Yeah I just want this to be over with." Storm answered as she looked over at him. "I'll make sure of it Storm. We really need to get ice on your face, you really did take one hell of a hit." Kozik told her firmly.

***

Kozik pulled into the compound and parked, Storm quickly getting out of the car, just wanting to get back to Grey with Kozik following suit. They walked into the clubhouse to hear Grey screaming as the prospect tried desperately to calm him down. "Move." Storm said startling him but he quickly moved away from the pram and let Storm in; she quickly leaned down and picked Grey up. "When did he last eat?" Storm asked seeing the prospect with a bottle in his hand. "We've tried everything." The prospect said as she took the bottle from him. Storm held Grey to her chest and sat down on the nearest sofa, he instantly calmed down just as Kozik walked back in with a zip-lock bag full of ice. Kozik sat down next to her, and gently placed it on her face making her wince lightly. "Thanks Koz." Storm said as she moved one of her hands up to hold the ice to her face. She looked over to see Bobby watching them but couldn't be bothered worrying about him.

***

The sound of bikes filled the clubhouse meaning that the club had done what they had to do and were back; they walked in just as the prospect began filling up shot glasses and handing out beers. "SAMCRO are heading out in 15 minutes." Clay ordered, a sense of relief washing over Storm as she held Grey closely. Storm watched as Tig walked over and sat on the table in front of her as he reached into his kutte and pulled out the set of keys that she left when she left Charming; Tig grabbed her hand and placed them in it, noticing her raised eyebrow. "I'm not going to ask you to come home but I want you to know it's always there. Anything you need, me or Tacoma are just a phone call away." Tig explained before he leaned forward, kissed Grey's forehead and then stood up and walked away.

***

Storm stood up with Grey as SAMCRO prepared to leave, she followed them out, watching as they mounted their bikes one by one, and started them up in unison. Kozik moved so he was standing beside her and watched as they pulled out into riding formation. "I'll ride up with you if you want to head out as soon as you're ready." Kozik said quietly. "That would be good." Storm answered, as Kozik nodded, taking Grey from her and settling him on his chest. "Go get packed so we can get out of here." Kozik said as Storm nodded and walked back into the clubhouse.

She walked into the dorm room, quickly packed everything up although it had mostly remained packed. A knock on the door frame made her look up, seeing the prospect. "Kozik told me to come and take anything you want me too out to the car. Kozik has already made me put the pram in the car." The prospect said. "Thank you. Could you take the two duffel bags and the porta-cot that is already packed up. I'll take my handbag, his car-seat and the diaper bag." Storm told him, he quickly nodded grabbing everything and following her. Storm stopped and put the car-seat down along with the diaper bag and her handbag on a table in the clubhouse before walking to the kitchen and grabbing everything. She walked back in, packing everything from the kitchen into the diaper bag and seeing Kozik strapping Grey into the car-seat before tucking his blanket around him. "Thank you." Storm said to the club who were watching before she picked up everything and Grey in his car-seat. She walked out with Kozik, who handed her the car keys as she opened the door putting Grey in along with her bags, as Kozik got Cash and Nell into the car.
