It was a long fucking night for the club. What was supposed to be a regular night of doing a protection run for Unser, turned into a shit storm of raining bullets and a hard on for retaliation. Ope and the guys were lucky enough to make it out alive due to being outnumbered, but the same couldn't be said for Unser's driver.
So much for the reassurance and pact with Alvarez declaring there was no more beef between the clubs. But that was alright, things had been quiet for a while anyway. It was only a matter of time before SAMCRO was back to painting Cali with their favorite shade of Mexi-red, especially since Juice got hit and a prospect got ran off the road. Luckily for Juice it was only a flesh wound, but the prospect broke a leg and dislocated his shoulder. Aside from that, everyone was whole.
When the crew got back to the clubhouse, Tara was waiting to check on the injured. Time and time again she came through for the club. They were lucky to have her, but at times it was hard for Ope to be around when she was there. It brought up memories of how much of a good time he would have with his ex when they would hang around at the clubhouse or at Jax and Tara's. That is, before it all went to shit.
Once it was known that the guys would be alright, and after a hell of a lot of drinks, Opie went to his room to throw himself on his bed. Before he knew it he sank into the depths of sleep.
All of a sudden he was awakened by someone pounding against his door. As he groggily pushed himself up, the door swung open and there stood Heather, "Opie, I'm so sorry, but you need to get out here now".
"What the hell is going on?" He asked in frustration as he got up.
"She said she's your ex. It looks like someone fucked her up, badly."
Her words barely processed before he bolted out the door. When Opie reached the bar he froze for a moment in shock at the sight of her bloodied face. Ginger might've been his ex-wife and things had ended horribly between them, but he never laid a hand on her. That was something he would never do no matter how angry he got.
As the flames of rage roared through him, there was just enough pain cemented in his chest to keep him silent. Opie approached her with fury and sadness filled in his eyes, then he brought up a hand to carefully place his finger beneath her chin to examine her face.
"Heather, get me the kit and some ice. Now!" He demanded without peeling his eyes from Ginger, "Who the hell did this to you?"
