this isn’t a fill, but below is more or less what happened to the people involved:
-first, Sonny tracked down the guy actually responsible for killing his dad. turns out the guy was a paid contractor and he’d been dressed up (at the time of the shooting) to look like a member of a different rival club. Carmen is the one who actually helped track down who the actual person was.
-Sonny…tortured that guy and got information from him before killing him. it was not pretty, but he got really good info
-he had to be methodical + mindful of the way he went after the club truly responsible for ordering the hit. so the first thing Sonny does is hit their business. this was in part Chibs’ idea, but what they did is attack the responsible club during one of their gun transportation runs to a person they both did business with. Discord had been working to be the sole supplier for this client, but the client had insisted on buying from both clubs, which was deffo a point of tension between those clubs. by Discord disrupting the run it hurt their business with this shared client and made Discord the sole supplier. step 1
-Discord finds out where the majority of the rest of the other club’s guns are stored and torch the place. step 2
-Sonny arranges to have someone pretend to be a buyer and arrange a meeting with this other club. they go through one buy successfully, but at the second buy they tip off the police/sheriff’s department (Carmen) and get a bunch of their members injured and/or thrown in jail. step 3
-with a little help from Amanda & Olivia, Sonny disrupts the security cams + alarms at the house of the president of this other club. he sneaks in during the middle of the night and slits the guy’s throat. writes on the wall with his blood, but writes the name of the other club this club had tried to pin the death of Sonny’s father on. that pretty much starts a war between those two clubs. step 4 & 5
Sonny’s work after all of that is pretty much done. and it was satisfying…but also hollow. because his dad is still dead and nothing can ever fill the void of that truth. but he drinks a lot, anyway.
“So nice of you to come home, Michael”, you said sarcastically. “And before midnight.” You stood up from the couch when you heard Mike come in. He was silent, just stared at you eyes, half closed, leaning against the door. “How did you get home?”
“A friend”, he smirked.
You glared at him, “a ‘friend’ huh? What’s her name?”
Mike scoffed, “Give me a break, Y/N. I get shit from my dad, Liv, I sure as hell don’t need to hear it from my loving wife.“ Mike slurred his speech, and swayed a little.
“You give me a break, Michael. I’m basically a single parent. You haven’t been home before midnight for the last two weeks. And when you do come home, it’s like this” you gestured your hand up and down. The stench of bourbon made your stomach roll.
Mike raised his voice, “Life has been kinda shitty to me the last couple a years, in case you haven’t noticed. I was shot, twice. Then the baby…”
Your voice grew louder as you let out all your pent up anger. “Right and I was by your side the whole time. Tell me, where were you after the car accident and I lost the baby? You were on a vendetta to put the guy away. You became obsessed. I had no one…”
“Yeah. And that guy won’t devastate another family!“ Mike yelled.
Poking a finger into his chest, “Well your family paid the price, Michael!” You shouted back just as loud.
“Mama. Daddy. Whys you yelling? It scared me.” Isaac’s small voice startled you. Cora was trailing behind him. “Daddy! Oh I missed you Daddy.” Isaac ran to Mike’s arms followed by Cora.
“My man! Lil’ D!“ Mike knelt down to give Isaac and Cora a hug.
“Eww…daddy you smells funny”, Isaac said and crinkled his nose.
Tears sprung to your eyes. Crossing your arms over your chest, you spoke softly, “C’mon kiddos. Let’s get back to bed.”
“I want daddy to carry me”, Isaac insisted with a pouty lip.
You narrowed your eyes at Mike. “Daddy isn’t feeling very well. Mama will carry you. Maybe daddy can manage tucking you back in.” Mike glared at you, and you held his stare.
Mike followed you up the stairs as you carried Isaac and Cora. Mike was able to tuck the kids back in to bed, no doubt somewhat sobered up from your fight.
“That can’t happen again, Mike. The kids don’t need to hear or see us fighting", you told him once you were in your bedroom. Mike looked at you and nodded.
“Uber”, Mike said into the dark after the two of you went to bed. “That was the friend that brought me home. I insinuated…but I would never…I love you, Y/N”, you felt the bed shift as he rolled over.
