Spark in the Dark

Chapter 101

Shawn walked in and was on her way to the bar when Shepard stepped in front of her.

"Hi, can I help you?" He asked right in her face. Shawn leaned away from him.

"I'm just here to see Tig."

"He's in Chapel with Clay."

"Alright. I'll just wait at the bar then," she said and side stepped around him. She walked over and leaned against the bar while looking at Chibs. "Really?"

"What?" Chibs said innocently. She smiled and rolled her eyes at Juice. She looked over his shoulder and caught a glimpse of Tig as he came out of chapel.

"Damn, what the hell happened to him?" Shawn asked, referring to his bruised face. "He forget to pay his hooker?"

"Nah, he got in a fight with Kozik," Shepard said from behind her. She hadn't realized he followed her over and she slightly jumped. "Don't worry, though. I'm sure he won't forget to pay you, darling."

Shawn jumped more when she felt Shepard's hand caress her ass. Her mouth dropped open and she scoffed. Before she could react, Juice's hand shot out across the bar and grabbed the front of the prospect's cut.

"Keep your hands off her," Juice threatened him before shoving him hard backwards.

"What the hell did he just do?" Opie asked.

"Got a good feel of Shawn's ass," Chibs told him.

"He did what?" Tig asked as he walked over to the bar.

"Wait," Shepard said, "you're Shawn? Like Tig's kid, Shawn?"

"That would be me," Shawn told him.

"You said you didn't know her," Shepard said to Chibs.

"No, I said to see what she needs. Not explore the curve of her ass," Chibs defended himself.

"Get the hell out of here before I tear your head off," Tig told him. Shepard hurried down the hall with his head hanging low. Opie turned to follow him.

"I'll make sure he's making himself useful," Opie said as he left. Lyla walked over to everyone else.

"Well, that was exciting," she said.

"You guys are never allowed to use me to prank prospects ever again," Shawn informed them.

"Sorry, kid," Tig told her and then looked at Juice. "Thanks for taking care of that for me."

"Yeah, no problem," Juice said, his voice still sounded rough.

Tara walked in the clubhouse and started down the hall without saying anything to anyone. A moment later, Opie came back down the hall and over to the bar.

"We might have a problem," he said.

"Why? What's going on?" Tig asked.

"Jax is in the dorm... With Ima."

"Come again?" Shawn asked, but before he could answer Tara came back and stormed out of the building.

"Tara, I'm sorry!" Opie called to her, but she ignored him.

"Should I go talk to her?" Lyla asked.

"What you should do is get that porn bitch out of our clubhouse," Opie told her.

"This is not my fault."

"No, but maybe if you didn't eat pussy for a living you'd have a different set of friends," Opie said, causing Lyla to slap him and walk out. He looked over at Shawn.

"Don't look at me. You know you deserved that," Shawn told him. He rolled his eyes and went back down the hall, passing Ima as she walked to the door. Shawn watched her leave and glanced at Juice before following her. Shawn walked out of the clubhouse just as Lyla turned and slapped Ima.

"What the hell is your problem?" Ima shouted at her.

"You just couldn't help yourself, could you?" Lyla told Ima and walked over to her car to leave.

Ima turned away from Lyla and jumped when she came face to face with Shawn. She hadn't heard Shawn walk out after her.

"What do you want?"

"I told you to stay away," Shawn told Ima calmly.

"You're not my boss anymore, Shawn."

"You're right. I'm not. Which means now, I can do this," Shawn said and pulled back her hand to hit her, but Ima stepped back and raised her hand.

"Don't even think about it. If you hit me, I will tell everyone your secret," Ima threatened.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Shawn asked uneasily.

"You and the mohawked biker. Juice, right? You think I didn't notice the two of you sneaking in and out of your office at Cara Cara? Luanne might have turned a blind eye to you, but I sure as hell didn't," Ima told her. A satisfied smile covered her face as she saw the look of distress on Shawn. "See you later then, I guess."

Ima walked away and got into her car. Shawn watched her pull out of the parking lot. Once she was out of site, she took a deep breath and went back inside.
