Ten minutes later, a convoy of five heavy motorcycles escorted Maya and Jax down the sun-drenched highway[cite: 1].
Maya sat safely in the sidecar of Jax's motorcycle, holding onto the leather frame with a big smile[cite: 1].
Ahead, under the sparse shade of a roadside oak tree, a broken-down sedan was parked on the shoulder[cite: 1].
A man was propped up against the front tire, holding a blood-stained towel over his knee.
Maya: Daddy! Daddy, I brought help!
The man raised his head weakly, his eyes widening in alarm as he saw the fleet of bikers pulling up[cite: 1].
Maya's Father: Maya! Get over here! What is going on?
Maya jumped out of the sidecar the moment Jax brought the bike to a stop[cite: 1].
She ran over and threw her small arms around her father's neck.
Maya: Daddy, don't worry! They're good guys! They got our trailer back!
Maya's Father: What? They got it back?
Jax walked over, taking off his helmet and kneeling beside the injured man[cite: 1].
Jax: Easy there, sir. Don't try to move that leg just yet. My name is Jax.
Maya's Father: I... I don't understand. Who are you people?
Jax: We're the Iron Brotherhood. Your daughter found us at the station down the road.
Maya's Father: She ran two miles by herself? Maya, you could have gotten hurt!
Maya: I had to get help, Daddy! I offered them my $93 savings!
Maya's Father: Sir, I don't have much money on me right now... but I can pay you back for your trouble.
Jax: Your daughter already tried to pay us. I told her the same thing I'll tell you.
Maya's Father: What's that?
Jax: You don't pay for help on American soil. Not while we're on duty.
Just then, Bear pulled up with the silver travel trailer safely attached to the club's support truck.
Behind them, a local sheriff's patrol car turned onto the shoulder with its lights flashing red and blue.
Sheriff Miller: Jax! What kind of mess did you stumble into today?
Jax: Just setting things right, Tom. Two guys in a black pickup are waiting for you at the station.
Sheriff Miller: We've been looking for those trailer thieves for three weeks. You caught them?
Jax: The little girl caught them. We just held the door shut.
