Welcome to Gaia! ::

Millie Ashby

Millie and the boys anxiously waited outside. Not knowing her way around, she didn't want to go in and be in the way. As a leader, she knew when it was best to stay out of the way of the professionals.
There was shouting inside, and people rushing around, so she made her way inside, but didn't know where to go. She, followed by Declan, Ivan and her two guards, found herself in the basement, finding the two men Titus had brought with him, but no Titus, and no Wren.
"I heard shouting, do you know what's happening? Did they find her?" She tried not to let herself get emotional, to not panic. She kept strict control over her anxiety and fear, keeping her spine straight, head up, chin proud. She was a mob boss, she needed to act like it. She couldn't be an aunt right now, terrified for her niece's life.
"Is she alive?" Ivan cut in, asking the real question they all wanted to ask. He was forever the blunt face of truth.
She pulled her eyes away from him, back to Black and Jasper for answers.

Titus looked around outside. Millie was nowhere to be seen. He scooped Wren up in his arms.
"Hey....Wren....? Your Aunt and brothers are here. You are going to go home with them. You will be okay." He walked back to the warehouse.
"I have Wren, she is alive!" He called inside the warehouse, he adjusted Wren in his arms.
"She needs some medical attention!" He examined her eyes again. She was definitely doped up on something.
"Do you know what he was giving you?" He asked the girl in his arms. He moved with her back toward the door. He took her back out into the fresh air, and sunshine.

Black flicked his cig onto the ground. In a further pile of debris. He looked back toward Jasper. He shook his head.
"Man....that is the problem. She has too many choices and is overwhelmed. She says she doesn't want you around her, yet she always runs right back to you. I know she wants you, I have no idea why you are doubting she wants whether she wants you or not. She may not say it with her words, but her actions prove it. We all know she was running to you each night, and jumping into bed with you for quite some time, despite the fact that she was suppose to be interested in Dereck. She picked you then. She got into some crazy cat fight over you. She wouldn't do that unless she was into you. She didn't want to tell you about the baby or even consider having it. She didn't have too. After we got her back, she went to you. She wants you Jasper. She doesn't know how to say that she wants you, or needs you, but she does." Black kicked over a table. He paused and looked toward the new voice.

Jasper was already answering for the pair. Black arched a brow, and pointed back toward the stairs.
"They should be outside...we are just...rearranging." He went back to smashing the place up.

Jasper stood, listening as Black listed all the ways that Cadie had shown she wanted to be with him. A hand scratched behind his head. When you laid it out like that, it made complete sense. Gave him some hope, but yet again...Jasp shook his head, "If she can't admit it to herself, it ain't what I want. I'm not going to force her to be a apart of something she doesn't want to be. It's a choice she has to make herself. Or she'll hate us all the more for it." When and if she committed to their relationship again, Jasper wanted it to be because she wanted to. Not because she felt like she had to or he was pushing her. Then it wouldn't last. Just like it had blown up once the baby was gone. If she couldn't admit and accept that she wanted this, then she never would. And they then they wouldn't make it as a couple long.

Jasper reached into his pocket and pulled out a zippo lighter. He tossed it to Black, "Here, do the honors. Light this mother F**ker up."

Dereck crossed his arms over his chest, letting his hips rest against the counter. There were a lot of things that he could think of that they could do to pass the time, but she was in a fragile state, so he would never say as much. His fingers moved up, tapping his chin for a moment and he moved towards her slowly, letting a grin spread across his lips. "I can think of something I wanna do.." In an instant he had Lyn scooped up into his arms, and he carried her to the living room, where he sat with her on the couch. Even if they couldn't do the deed, there were still other ways that he could indulge in her, all while keeping her comfortable and pain free. Once they were both seated, he held her on his lap, and let his lips graze along her jaw and move to her ear, nibbling on her earlobe softly. "I know I am not supposed to have dessert before dinner, but I cannot resist." He grinned against the soft skin of her neck and planted small kisses along her neck, and her collarbone.

Jasper shrugged. Slightly uncomfortable with himself sharing the news with his brother. Black wasn't a a guy for the sensitivity or thought out plans.If he wanted a girl he took her, did as he pleased, then left. Jasper wished he could be more like his brothers in that fashion, but honestly he couldn't. Sure he had been doing slightly better following that example before Cadie came back into his life. Yet he didn't want her out of his life. Didn't want to go back to that life.

Black's shove towards the stairs, got Jasp's feet moving. He quicklyClimbed the stairs, motioning for any one else lingering to get the hell out. And then he was outside of that building with Black, Titus, Wren and all the others from her Aunts(?) group. He nodded to Black as the man began hurrying out."Good Luck man. Take care of her." , He knew the man would. Trusted him to. But also knew he was taking Cadie on to help himself and Orion. For that he was appreciative. His eyes then turned toward Titus with Wren in his arms,"You going to get her to the hospital, or let her family decide what she needs? You tell me what you need brother."

Titus looked back at Jasper. "I am going to let her family decide on the medical treatment. I will tag along though, as long as they allow it." He looked back toward her family then back at Jasper.
"Thanks for riding with Brother. Get to work. See you at the Club tonight?" He was never really sure with Jasper.

Jasper was a bit different then the other men. He had a life outside of the Club. He occasionally hooked up with a pretty Club hoe, it was far and few between. He seemed to have a good head on him, and Titus was honestly surprised when Jasper had become a Prospect. Orion had been all for it which lead Titus to back Jasper as well. If Ryder was backing you, it was with reason. The man was able to read people, and if you knew him, you knew to trust his judgment. Which Titus did, completely.

So he had no doubts about Jasper's character. Jasp had proven himself time, and time again. As far as Titus was concerned, Jasper could ride with him whenever. He was an asset to have by one's side.

Titus

Tessa Naomi Thiessen

Tessa had always been charming and manipulative. What she wanted she got, no matter how she got it. She was not above stepping all over people to get what she wanted. She had quite a few enemies she had made throughout the years.

Today her powers of seduction were being used for good. Or, at least her version of good. She had found out where Cadence had been transferred and managed to fast talk her way in to actually see Cadence. She was seated across from her exhausted looking friend. She had dark rings about her eyes, as if she had not slept.
"They took my laces!" Cadence whispered urgently. Tessa looked confused.
"They are afraid we will hang ourselves or try to strangle each other with our laces! What the hell?!" Cadence demanded then peered around the visiting area.
"Hey crazy, you landed yourself in here! Just do your time and then I will get you out of this dump of a town."
"What...? No. Jasper is here." Cadence replied with a frown as she sat back. Crossing her arms over her chest. Tessa sighed and shook her head.
"Look....I didn't want to tell you this but I ended up hooking up with that tattooed muscled hunk of man that came out of your room last night. This morning I saw your Jasper in the kitchen with a very barely dressed blonde. They looked like they were quite familiar with each other." She watched the hurt flash in Cadence's eyes and she almost felt bad. ALMOST.

Cadence needed to get the hell away from these biker dirtbags. She would never be safe with them. Tessa was not sure how else she could convince Cadence this was like the Alex situation all over. Endangering herself for a guy who would never bring anything more then heartache and grief.

Tessa watched as Cadence shook her head and pushed away from the table they were seated at.
"No. Not Jasper. He isn't like that." Tessa forced herself to appear disinterested.
"Oh really? Didn't you say you already caught him with a blonde in that very same kitchen? He claimed nothing happened then, but are you sure?" Cadence stood up quickly. She hated the doubt that was creeping into her mind. She trusted Jasper, but they weren't exactly together right now either right? It made sense that he would be playing the field. He was free too.
"I will talk to him about it."
"Oh, and you expect him to come clean about it?"
"He has no reason to lie. We aren't exactly together right now. I mean...we never discussed anything relating to us after the miscarriage. I needed time to deal with everything. It wasn't just the miscarriage I was dealing with."
"I know that Cadie. I am just saying...you said it yourself. Jasper never claimed to love you. He was probably acting out of duty. Can't walk away from your President's sister that you accidentally knocked up." Cadence sighed and threw her hands up in frustration.
"Well what am I suppose to do then?!" She snapped as she turned to face Tessa.
"Leave. Get on with your life. You accidentally got pregnant while slumming with the biker bad boy. Big deal? He was hot, I can see why you fell into bed with him. Besides we all make mistakes! I have made the same slumming mistake three times now, you correct the mistake and move along! You didn't correct it, and look! It was corrected for you. You have to learn from it, or else it was all for nothing. Besides...Nick has been asking about you again, he and Trisha are through." Cadence wanted to punch her friend right in the mouth. She could not believe how cruel she was being right now but that was Tessa for you. She was brutally honest and always had been. She hated that Tessa brought up Nick, Nick was so sweet and handsome. He and Cadie had flirted back and forth for years, neither of them ever making a move.
"Tessa...new topic, or I can not be held responsible for what happens next. I am not doing anymore time in here for punching you. Your acting like a b***h right now!" Tessa judged as if she was not even worried about Cadence's threat.
"You want to go back to him, fine. Your business. I don't care either way. Have fun being passed about like a bong in a Frat house." Cadence sat across from Tessa, her hands balled up tightly and resting on her lap.
"Why did you sleep with Black if bikers are so beneath you Princess?" Cadie asked in a silkily tone. Princess was said with a sneer that Tessa could not miss.
"Why not? He is hot and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about." She shrugged her shoulders. Cadence couldn't imagine anyone wanting to get to know Black in that manner. the man was attractive but he was scary, dangerous. The very aura about him screamed danger. She had always been a bit uneasy around Black, after last night she was now pretty much terrified of him. If he lost control he could really harm someone, and she knew her tiny frame would not with stand more then a few blows if he snapped and lost it.

Tessa eventually took her leave. The friends had managed to get the conversation back to safer waters and actually were enjoying each other's company again. The pair caught up on everything that was happening in Cadence's old city and among their friends. It actually did make Cadence a bit homesick for her old friends and simple life. Though at the same time it made her even more eager to get out of this place and make things right with Jasper. She missed him, and knew that there was no one else in life she wanted to, or even trusted to battle through the storms with her. It had to be Jasper or no one at all. She loved her friends dearly but Tessa was like the ocean, unpredictable and deadly. Tommy was sweet and kind, but he was Tessa's pawn. She used that boy to do her bidding. She had no problem sacrificing Tommy either if it meant her winning. Tessa was Queen, Tommy a Pawn and that left Cadence as the Knight. Always there to protect the Queen. That has seemed to always be the arrangement.

Cadence had always been the tough one of the group. The one who seemed to be there for her friends. The one who solved their problems, and was there to pick up the pieces. Tessa had come to rely on that and without Cadence things didn't seem to work. She was the backbone of the group.

Tessa had to make sure that Cadence would be leaving with her. She decided the best way to do that was to make sure Jasper was out of the picture. Cadence would forgive Tessa, she knew this from past experience. She would never hook up with Jasper after knowing Tessa had. So Tessa decided to wait at the Club House to see if Jasper returned. Only place she knew to find Jasper.
