Haley couldn't see for a moment she thought she was dreaming but when she opened her eyes all's she saw was darkness, there was a small light to right of her but it was still hazy, her arms hurt and wrists stung as she struggled to free them, she smelt terrible, all's she could smell was dried blood which probably stained her clothes, her stomach growled from hunger not even knowing when the last time she ate was.
Jax sat in the chapel as Clay spoke, his mind was racing a mile a minute not knowing the location of Haley for the past week, he remembered it like it was yesterday her car broke down and was walking into the parking lot of TM when a black van pulled up and snatched her before Jax or anyone else could react, the deal they made with the cartel had shit the bed and they took Haley as retaliation, sending a video every day of Haley being punched and kicked from an unknown location, as much as she reassured the club she was fine in the videos Jax didnt buy it, he knew she was lying and in a excruciating amount of pain
"So they finally want something from us, 45k" Clay spoke
"The black cleaned us out two weeks ago were tapped" Bobby spoke up, Jax looked at him
"Has anyone paid thier dues?" Jax asked
"Yea, but that leaves us about 30k short brother" Bobby said looking through his ledger
"I've got about five saved up" Chibs spoke up and he was the only one
"You mean to tell me that none of you have any money to throw in so we could get my little girl back?" Piney asked standing up
"Piney it's a tough month" Clay spoke Jax knew clay had money in his safe at home but wasn't throwing in
"Piney sit down were all hurting here" Clay said pointing to Pineys chair
"If it wasn't for all of you voting yes on this cartel bullshit my daughter would still be here" piney said storming out of the Chapel, Opie following behind him
"Clay she's not gonna hold on for much longer" Jax said looking at him insinuating the stash he had at home
"Son, we don't have the money or the reinforcement" Clay said
"Are you kidding me? She's a members fucking kid and sister your just gonna let her die?" Jax said
"Jax it isn't that easy" Clay said
"Oh it is old man. You just don't want to, your hurting people" Jax said
"No son I'm being logical we don't have the cash yet" clay said slamming his fists down on the table
"Jax is right prez, we've gotta figure this out and like now. Or piney and Opie are going to go off the deep end" Tig spoke
"I agree Clay, we need to get a handle on this" Bobby said looking up "let me make a few calls"
Clay slammed the gavel down not saying a word, as everyone ushered out Jax turned around
"You just want her gone so I can't take that gavel from you" Jax said walking out the door
"Jax we got a delivery!" Juice yelled bringing in a pizza box containing a USB drive
Juice plugged in the drive to his laptop and video opened
"Members of Samcro we have a special viewing today" a Spanish accent spoke removing Haley's black bag over her face her eyes winced at the bright lights, her face was covered in bruises and blood
The same man that spoke smacked Haley across the face, the first few hits she took like a champ but the last one she cried out for Jax
"You have until seven tonight to bring the 45k to Blackwell park or we will start making things worse for her, of you really care then we will see you tonight, have anything to say doll?" He said grabbing Haley's face
"Jax, Dad, Opie. I'm fine, I love you Jax always remember that" Haley cried as the tape shut off
In a rage Jax pushed the laptop off the bar top onto the floor, every member stood back in awe, Jax and Haley may have been on the outs but it was so obvious when they were around eachother how much Jax actually was in love with her
When Jax returned from making a few phone calls, church was called as he sat down in his vice presidents chair clay slammed the gavel to start church
"It has come to light that we have a donation on behalf of Haley's return" Clay spoke as he looked at Jax
"Where did it come from?" Tig asked
"I put my house up on the market for auction and someone bought it" Jax spoke quietly
"Jax what are you going to do when that little boy needs to come home" Clay asked
"I'll figure that out when the time comes. I just want her home" Jax said
"You really love her don't you son?" Clay asked
"More then anyone could ever imagine" Jax said lighting a cigarette
"Let's get your girl back" Clay said slamming the gavel down once again

Haley was hoisted up out of the chair she was in and tossed into a van, the drive felt hours long she could hear the men speaking in Spanish, she couldn't really understand what they were saying but Haley was for sure that they were driving to a scarce place to finish her off, she would never be able to tell Jax she loves him anymore or pick on her brother or take another shot with her father.
As she closed her eyes and shut everything out around her
"Jax, tell me about the first time you knew you were in love with me?" Haley asked as they lay in bed feeling the sheets against thier bare skin
"Lee, I've always loved you, but when I knew it was real was when we were thirteen right after the homecoming dance, you were upset that Patrick stood you up, you came over to my house at two in the morning still wearing your dress" Jax said playing with her hair as she rested her head on his chest
"All because I was crying?" Haley asked
"No, because you looked absolutely beautiful dressed up. Your mascara was running down your face and all's you wanted was to be held and that's what I did all night was hold you in my arms" Jax said
"And you told me everything was going to be alright and you would always take care of me" Haley finished for him
"And I did. Lee, I've always been there for you since I was able to defend you. I will fight for you until the day I die" Jax said as Haley rose her head up and kissed her forehead
"I'll always be your old lady Jax, no matter what happens. Ill always come for you" Haley whispered
"Then get my crow, you'll forever be inked with my name so no man could ever touch you the way I do, and no man could ever think about owning you, Haley you showed me the good in life, that I can be happy" Jax said kissing Haley tenderly
Haley was broken from her thoughts as the van came to a screeching halt and gun fire, she could hear the bullets piercing through the windows as she threw herself on the floor of the van trying her best to shield herself from being hit.
She heard the van door open
"Lee" Jax said as Haley broke down in tears just hearing his voice
