Raiders MC

Riders of Fortune, Raiders for Life
The Raiders Motorcycle Club (Raiders MC) is an outlaw motorcycle club based in Chumash. 
__TOC__
== Background ==
The Raiders MC was originally a 1970s motorcycle club founded by the people that raised Rue Day. They voted in their first President named Ruiz, who came up with the club motto "Riders of Fortune" on the wisdom that most important thing to do in life is to find out what your own personal fortune is. After Rue caught motel worker Darcy Lane stealing from her mini-bar, the two became friends. Having bounced from town to town with best friend Alice Omen, Lane wanted to settle down and revive the Raiders MC as its new President. The club was refounded in the Autumn of 2023. She and the Raiders MC followed her VP Wade Wilson (whom she met in jail) to a rebuilt Los Santos.
As a 1% motorcycle club and political lobby, the MC is based in Chumash and often have their meetings on the Chumash Pier. The club secretly harbors their leader's untreated bipolar disorder. Because Lane also hated church growing up, she calls their weekly club meetings "chapters" instead of "church".

* Lane's personal rule: Club members should not date police officers.
* Lane's personal rule: Club members should own up to their actions.
=== Roles ===
Lane can break ties for club votes that require a majority, such as promoting a club member. Important votes such as approving an Old Lady require a unanimous consensus with no abstentions permitted.
==== Hangarounds ====
* Phase 1: Externally, the Raiders MC have no hangarounds. The Raiders MC use hangaround as an internal-only term for the people who hang out with the club whom are under consideration for becoming a prospect. Club members are not allowed to tell the hangarounds that they are hangarounds. When a club member nominates someone as a hangaround, any member can veto someone from becoming a hangaround - but the reason must be extremely valid.
* Phase 2: When a hangaround is being seriously considered for prospecting, Lane explicitly notifies them.
Raiders MC hangarounds are allowed to push unstrained weed, buy Raiders MC weed, run roofs, chop cars, and run pawn jewelry. They cannot come to "ouch" and must wait in the tattoo shop parking lot.
==== Prospects ====
Hangarounds require a unanimous vote-in of approval to become a prospect. Each prospect has one sponsor whom is held accountable for the prospect's actions. Prospects pay dues, and are allowed to wear a kutte. Prospects can also listen in on chapter meetings, but cannot speak or vote. The only way for a prospect to leave the Raiders MC is to be blooded out.
In the prospecting ceremony, the hangarounds agree to join the Raiders MC as prospects with the caveat that they're committed for life from that point on. In Sandy, each prospect much catch a rattlesnake in a black silk bag and then walk back to Chumash together. At Chumash Pier, each prospect and their designated sponsor recite the prospecting oath. The prospects then extend their arm to their sponsors to receive a bite from their snake (the prospects later name their snake and take care of it for the duration of their prospecting phase). The Raiders MC take the poisoned prospects to the hospital to get treated with antivenom, then dress them up in their kuttes at the clothing store.
The Covenant Oath
Sponsor: We, the Riders of Fortune, bound together as the Raiders MC, pledge our allegiance to the principles that define our order
Initiate: Unwavering in my commitment, unbreakable in my bond, and unyielding in my resolve, I stand with the club, from this day until my last.
Sponsor: Our code is simple but resolute:
Initiate: I will ride with, support, and navigate the twists and turns of life as a united force with my club.
Sponsor: As Raiders for Life, we embrace the freedom of the open road, the thrill of the ride, and the bonds that tie us together.
Initiate: I dedicate myself to the endurance of our brotherhood, the prosperity of our families. My loyalty will remain steadfast.
Sponsor: We affirm this covenant in the spirit of these mottos,
Initiate: Binding ourselves to each other with unbroken spirit and unbridled camaraderie.
Sponsor: Together we stand, Riders of Fortune, Raiders for Life.
Initiate: Riders of Fortune, Raiders for Life.
==== Patched Members ====
The Chaplain brings up when a prospect is ready to be patched. In absence of a Chaplain, the sponsor brings up when their prospect is ready to be patched. The vote to make a prospect into a Patched Member must be unanimous.
In the patching ritual ceremony, the initiate reflects on their time as a Prospect at a remote location of some significance with their sponsor and the Chaplain. The sponsor asks them what Fortune means to them, and what they are willing to do to find it. If the Chaplain deems their responsible acceptable, then the initiate must kill the snake that bit them from the prospecting ceremony.
"Much like the Initiate, the snake cannot be allowed to return to the wild. Now that it knows the care of the group, it will lack the drive to make it on its own. It could introduce disease or parasites acquired during its care into the environment, devastating the local snake population.The Initiate must make the merciful decision to kill the snake in exchange for their patch." —Raiders Patching Ritual notebook text
The Chaplain then presents them with their patch, and they sew it onto their kutte. The Patched Member can now vote and have a voice at all Raiders MC chapter meetings.
==== Nomads ====
The Nomad rank is an honor reserved for a founder who retires. A vote of approval is held at the President's discretion. A Nomad can still wear a kutte, and doesn't have to pay dues anymore. A Nomad does not have a voice or a vote at chapter meetings.
==== Old Ladies ====
The Old Lady rank is an honor reserved for a trusted significant other of a club member. The club respects and protects their Old Ladies, and can share club secrets with them. An Old Lady is also allowed to wear a kutte. An Old Lady does not have a voice or a vote at chapter meetings.
Traditionally, the current Old Ladies vote in the new Old Lady. Lane initially mandated a unanimous vote of approval from the club, but is now rethinking the rule.

===Clubhouse===
Following a unanimous Raiders MC vote on what size clubhouse they wanted, Lane bought their first house on Fudge Lane at Amarillo Vista 5, El Burro Heights, East Los Santos on January 7, 2024 for $185,400 just before storm hit. She architected a clubhouse upstairs and a chapter room for meetings downstairs. In club lingo, they call the clubhouse "ouch" instead of "house".
===Vehicles===

==History==
Outreach to other Motorcycle Clubs
As part of a good faith gesture to other motorcycle clubs on December 16, 2023, two ex-patched members of the RICO'd Bondi Boys MC--Flops Rainman and Alex "Lil Cap" Söderberg--taught Alice Omen and Rue Day how to grow weed seeds. Darcy Lane, Wade Wilson, and Maxx McAllister harvested the Raiders' first weed plant. Wade, the weed farmer whom the Raiders entrusted to build their weed rep, initially risked holding all of the group's weed in his backpack. However, Officer Kian McNulty found their first weed grow spot, and jumped out of the bush to Wade's surprise.
Convinced that the new City Council and first mayoral election would be pivotal to the future of Los Santos and all of the MCs, Lane and the Raiders MC began meeting the mayoral candidates. Lane also began reaching out to the The Neon Tigers MC, the Lost MC, and Chaos Legion MC about voting together to leverage the new Los Santos government toward MC interests such as priority in buying and servicing motorbikes. On December 26, 2023 after the debate for Mayor of Los Santos, the Raiders MC met with the Lost MC (VP Wade's old group) at the Chumash Pier to discuss whether to support mayoral candidate Maximilian Thoroughbred and his likely Chief of Staff Juno Sweeney. Lane reasoned that an MC voting bloc having influence over whom the Mayor appoints as their Chief of Staff could lock in two votes and a tiebreaking vote for a City Council with only eight seats on it, making only two additional votes necessary to pass legislation. Lane also saw potential power in a clean MC loyalist, such as Lost MC Treasurer Charlotte "Lottie" Thomas, applying for the Treasurer seat on the City Council. Enforcer Rue Day warned the Lost MC that the King in the Sewers publicly expressed poisoning the water in Mirror Park with radioactive toxic sludge. VP Wade also warned the Lost MC that Officer Kian McNulty was looking into MCs. Afterward, Lane invited Sky Mercer and Victoria Werner from Chaos Legion MC to the Chumash Pier to pitch the same proposal that all MCs unite together as a singular voting bloc.
Having already met mayoral candidate Stelio Lambros, the Raiders MC met with mayoral candidate Maximilian Thoroughbred (with his chief campaign manager and confirmed Chief of Staff Juno Sweeney and campaign manager Penelope Farthing) at the Chumash Pier on December 28, 2023. Although Max promised vague legislation for MCs to sell and repair motorbikes, Lane debunked his claim that he already had a lock on five of the eight seats of the City Council. Max asserted that the federal government would have less power than before as a consequence of the City Council. Lane floated Lottie's name for the Treasurer seat, but Max answered that an unnamed individual appointed that seat. Everyone agreed on their hatred of the police. The next day, Lane informed Jack Kettleman and Stelio that in light of the news that the Mayor could only appoint a Chief of Staff and not a Treasurer, she didn't expect them to uphold their promise of a City Council seat to Lottie. Lane advised them to broaden their main points to much more than just the lumber union.
As former BBMC members began socializing with different members of the Raiders MC, Lane noticed they were asking a lot of questions. Lane especially distrusted Allie's suitor, fired police officer and former BBMC member Winston Walker--particularly with how he pried for information about the Raiders MC. Following Winston's sudden outreach to Lane about wanting to earn her trust, she informed high command (Wade Wilson and Taylor Archer) that their own Chaplain Allie had leaked what she had said in confidence. Taylor advised Lane not to burn a bridge with the BBMC prematurely. During Taylor's investigation, she concluded that Winston was purposely causing issues and wanted to give Allie an ultimatum between him and the club.
During a make-up conversation, Allie admitted to Lane that Winston was "too curious"; and Lane suspected that Winston had been sharing information with other former BBMC members like her new friend Sean "Irish" McQuillen. Irish cautioned Taylor that Lane's organization of the MC summit rubbed a few members in long-established clubs the "wrong way" because of the perceived threat against any leakers and also the MC members' cynicism that the first Mayor of Los Santos would actually do anything they promised. He referred Taylor to Lost MC Vice President Oshiera Petros, who had felt slighted that Lane had not introduced each Raiders MC member during their meeting. After Taylor advised Lane that the MC summit looked too much like a play for power, Wade agreed with Taylor that they focus inward. Lane left it up to the Lost MC to organize the MC summit themselves since they were the ones who originally suggested it, and gave up on outreach to the other MCs about the first mayoral election. As a way to screen which MC members actually wanted long-term relationships rather than just information, Lane set a temporary new club rule to be reactive toward them rather than proactive. Lane also instructed that the Raiders MC always dodge questions about club business.
During the Raiders MC's meeting with mayoral candidate Pilbis Shonley (and his campaign team), Lane was pleasantly surprised that he was considering Stelio Lambros as his Chief of Staff and suggested the two of them run together against the perceived frontrunner Maximilian Thoroughbred. Although Pilbis' ideas didn't impact the MCs that much, Lane and the Raiders MC considered splitting their votes for him and Stelio to at least win Deputy Mayor over their least favorite mayoral candidate Vivek Ramasquamy.
Already irritated with Road Captain Mason Calaway for offending Irish with a joke that he was weird, Lane rebuked Mason on January 4, 2024 for complaining about her with Enforcer Rue Day and former BBMC member Flops Rainman in the car because Lane wouldn't let him pick up his friend (another former BBMC member) Aubrey Synnefo right away. Lane called it Mason's final warning, said she'll find out if he complains about any of the Raiders outside of the club again, and emphasized "I'm not your friend, I'm your President."
On January 5, 2024 at Chumash Pier, Lane and Mason heard out late mayoral candidate Michael Simone (and his campaign team), who advocated for more food establishments and transportation plus air certification. Michael had his Chief of Staff narrowed down to Jenny Hall or Jackie Snow. Lane agreed with Michael's and Reggie Might's hard stance against police corruption, but was skeptic about their ambition to win a majority in the City Council with Reggie Might competing for the Head of the Bar Association seat and Nicholas Simone competing for the Healthcare Liaison seat. Lane decided against bringing up MC concerns like motorcycles and kuttes to Michael, as she didn't want to promise votes from the other MCs.
Lane finally had a one-on-one conversation with Lost MC Vice President Oshiera Petros on January 7, 2024 to fix their bad start. Oshiera admitted disappointment in their first meeting with the Raiders MC due to what she perceived as brash, "unwarranted aggression" without any pleasantries or introductions. She had also been irked by Lane's advice on what to ask a mayoral candidate. Oshiera appreciated Lane's self-awareness that her opinionated passion for the first mayoral election could come across as abrasive and pushy. Oshiera proposed a meeting "redo", and bonded over the similarities of their struggles. Lane concluded that she was still interested in an MC voting bloc and/or MC summit, floated aligning with the mayoral frontrunner (Maximilian Thoroughbred), and that the MCs could consider splitting votes for a Deputy Mayor. Later that day in a Raiders MC meeting, Lane ended the grace period and cracked down on interruptions and sassy attitudes during non-personal club talk. After the Raiders MC voted 7-0 to buy a smaller clubhouse, Lane successfully purchased the El Burro Heights,Amarillo Vista,5 house property for $185,400 before storm hit.
By January 9, 2024, Lane and Wade Wilson were completely exhausted from working sanitation--but felt obligated to keep going because they were the only two Raiders consistently around. Lane explained to Wade that some people in the city already had the advantage of five-year-old relationships, and wanted the Raiders MC to similarly build good relationships with people outside of the club instead of just handling everything themselves.
Lane's friend Irish became the Vice Prime Minister in Prime Minister Barry Benson's new MC, the Already Dead MC (ADMC). Due to commitments in another city, Sergeant At Arms Taylor Archer stepped down from the Raiders MC High Command to the title of "Nomad" (reserved for founders who retire). With mayoral candidate Maximilian Thoroughbred leading comfortably in the exit polls, the Raiders MC decided 5-1 to vote for current runner-up Stelio Lambros to help him win Deputy Mayor.
Ultimately, Maximilian Thoroughbred was elected the inaugural Mayor of Los Santos on January 20, 2024 by a landslide victory. He appointed Juno Sweeney as his Chief of Staff. Michael Simone won Deputy Mayor as the runner-up, and three-time Deputy Mayor Etta Hawthorne was appointed as the Treasurer.
First Hangarounds and the Demotion of Road Captain Mason
In the chapter meeting on January 20, 2024, Lane announced a $25,000 one-time stipend from the club account to each active member for a motorbike. The Raiders MC voted 6-0 to confirm Taylor Archer's rank of Nomad, and voted 5-1 to make Lane's ex-husband Beverly Brekker their first Old Lady (didn't pass because of the one nay vote). Nobody vetoed the proposed Raiders MC hangarounds: Allie nominated Maeve Gray, Rue Day nominated Wally West, and Mason Calaway nominated Tom Aoki. Wade Wilson forewarned that should those hangarounds become prospects, each sponsor would be held accountable for their prospect's actions.
Over time, Allie, Rue, and Wade began noticing symptoms of a manic episode in Lane such as extra energy and an unusually good mood.
On the night of January 22, 2024 against the wishes of Rue and Lane, Mason jokingly threw Rue off the pier in front of hangarounds Wally and Tom. Afterward in a private conversation, Lane threatened to strip Mason of his Road Captain rank; then threatened to physically hurt him if he kept disobeying her direct order to leave. The next day after Lane and Wade decided Mason's punishment, her mind was blown by Wade's news that Irwin Dundee wanted to form a brand-new Bondi Boys MC in Vespucci Beach independent of his former second-in-command Barry Benson's Already Dead MC.
For Mason's punishment on January 24, 2024, Wade gave him one final warning that they would strip him of his third-in-command Road Captain rank the next time he showed any kind of disrespect to a club member. Wade fined Mason $500 for the pier incident and another $5000 for overdue fees, said he was on the "thinnest of ice", and punitively beat Mason down in front of Lane.
On January 25, 2024 in a pier meeting with Lost MC Vice President Oshiera Petros, Lane was shocked by her news that she was in a romantic relationship with Senior Officer Kian McNulty (the Raiders MC's cop nemesis); and that the Already Dead MC had found out about it. Oshiera assured her that McNulty was no longer investigating the MCs, just weed (Lane later requested to the Raiders MC that they don't date cops). In a pier meeting with Kermy Fulker of the former HOA (Wade's old group that often bought materials from the Raiders MC), he shared important sanitation secrets with Lane, Wade, and Rue. Later that night, a local shot Rue during her weed run with Patched Member Maxx McAllister, Wally, Tom, and Mason. With Rue in surgery at the hospital, Maxx left hangarounds Wally and Tom posted outside of the operating room. As Maxx and Mason stood guard in the hospital lobby watching for police, she saw him on his phone and angrily threatened to bash his head in. Lane and Wade fined Maxx $250 in her next club dues after she admitted that she shouldn't have said it. Afterward, Lane and Wade told Mason that as third-in-command, he should have taken control of that situation and that Maxx felt let down by him. Although Lane believed his defense that he only used the phone to look inconspicuous and was just fidgeting with it out of habit, she said it didn't change Maxx's perception of him. Mason confessed that he was afraid to forcibly pull rank in that situation because of the club's perception that he had abused his rank in the past. Lane and Wade decided to sleep on whether to derank him, privately agreeing to each other that he wasn't ready to be Road Captain. Rue confided in Lane that she respected the Road Captain position but not Mason, because he didn't care about Rue and is the only one in the club who doesn't show up for her.
Later in the night after Mason's talk with his sister Allie, he admitted to Lane and Wade that despite a desire to be Command, Mason realized he wasn't ready for it. Mason voluntarily stepped down from Road Captain, saying that he wanted to earn it. Lane and Wade respected his decision and remained open-minded to the possibility that he could earn his club members' respect and get voted back into Command. Afterward to fulfill Lane's order to Tom to get her a stolen motorbike to ride, he and Maxx had Lane ride a non-functional motorbike on the bed of their moving tow truck.
The Chumash Pier Incident with Irish and the Departure of Chaplain Allie
Although Lane tried to be lenient about Raiders MC members socializing with the Already Dead MC, she and Rue Day grew annoyed by the end of January 2024 with how often Allie hung out with them over her own club and her own best friend Lane--especially when ADMC Vice Prime Minister Sean "Irish" McQuillen began hanging out with Allie and neglecting his friendship with Lane. Allie had ended her fling with former BBMC member Winston Walker, and was now casually dating ADMC member Shang Liu (whom she often spent time alone with). Lane half-joked that Allie had become the ADMC's "temporary chaplain" doing emotional labor for them.
Lane's misgivings about the ADMC were confirmed on January 28, 2024 when Irish led a melee-armed ADMC party onto the Raiders MC's own turf Chumash Pier, where Allie was privately ordering her brother Mason Calaway to stop prying into ADMC business with ADMC patched member Rue Minmi (to which he agreed because he sensed that Rue lured him into some kind of "performative" mind game). Irish called Allie to warn them to drop their phones and knives on the ground, which she and a confused Mason both did (Mason dropped his wrench). When she refused to swim away with Mason (who wanted to escape instead), he asked her whether she had set him up. Irish accused Mason of prying into ADMC business with both Rue Minmi and EMS Deputy Chief Veronica Westfield (an ADMC associate). After Irish saw multiple personal texts to former BBMC member Aubrey Synnefo in Mason's phone, Irish warned and threatened him, and left with his phone. Allie informed Wade Wilson that Mason had texted her and admitted he was playing "mind games" with Rue Minmi, which is why Allie was privately urging him to stop it. Afterward, Wade beat Mason for saying Allie had set him up (which if true would be punishable by death).
After Irish sent snapshots to Wade and Allie of Mason's month-old texts to Aubrey about the BBMC, Wade asked to meet with him in the hopes of keeping the situation from escalating. Irish invited Wade to the Yard (the ADMC's turf)--and when Wade arrived, all of the available ADMC were congregated outside as a show of force. Wade told Irish that that he'd rather have a good relationship between clubs than this information prying drama, that the leadership from both clubs should sort out issues like this going forward, and that he was unhappy with how it happened but was against retaliation. Irish promised to return Mason's phone. Afterward, Wade put a hold on Raiders MC members socializing with the ADMC. Lane woke up and agreed with Wade to not retaliate. Although she fumed at Mason (for his accusation against Allie and for repeatedly hanging out with Rue Minmi), she also found Irish's accusation hypocritical and his "big-dicking" disrespectful. She angrily ordered Wade to only talk to Prime Minister Barry Benson going forward instead of Irish.
After Lane cooled off and began coming down from her manic episode the next day, she called Irish in one final attempt to fix their friendship. She wanted to figure out what she had originally done wrong to upset him, and to potentially admit her bipolar disorder to him--but sensed hostility from him and decided to give up (Lane didn't believe his excuses that he was too busy to contact her and was "terrible" at reaching out, because of the three times he had met up with Allie).
Later that same day on January 29, 2024, in a heartbreaking conversation with Lane, Chaplain Alice "Allie" Omen left the Raiders MC. She said she felt like she didn't fit into their group dynamic and didn't have the trust of the club (particularly from her own brother Mason Calaway, Rue Day, and to a lesser extent Wade Wilson). Allie said that she only felt loyal to Lane (her lifelong best friend of two decades) and not to the rest of the club. Afterward, a devastated and disappointed Lane announced Allie's decision to leave to the Raiders MC. As a founder of the club, Allie was allowed to walk away without being blooded out (to Rue's chagrin). However with Allie no longer under the Raiders MC's official protection and about half of the club (Rue and Maxx) angry with her, Lane (who still cared about her) began probing for who would be there for Allie if she ever needed help. She concluded from ADMC Patched Member Shang Liu's hesitant answers that he didn't know her well enough. Both Mason and Wade affirmed their loyalty to Allie, though both Lane and Wade agreed that Allie would lose her founder status if she ever came back.
First Prospect Vote and the Extradition of Patched Member Maxx
In the Raiders MC chapter meeting on February 2, 2024, Lane brought forward hangarounds Wally West and Tom Aoki to be considered as prospects, where the only way out of the club going forward is to be blooded out. The Raiders MC unanimously voted 5-0 to make Wally a prospect (with Rue Day as his sponsor), and unanimously voted 5-0 to make Tom a prospect (with Wade Wilson as his sponsor). Lane removed inactive Maeve Gray as a hangaround without any objections. Rue nominated Envy Green and Cody Stewart as hangarounds; nobody vetoed. Lane nominated Hank Marston as a hangaround despite his thoughts of reviving the Mayhem; nobody vetoed despite Wade and Rue not seeing Hank as a team player. The Raiders MC voted 4-1 on "Snake Pit" as their weed strain name, voted 5-0 to claim a turf to push weed in Sandy, and nobody objected to working with the Lost MC, Chaos Legion MC, and the former HOA. Lane announced that she was partially talking over Allie's role as Chaplain.
Lane was discussing the members making money when suddenly four police cars and a police boat interrupted the chapter meeting. Led by LSPD Senior Officer Kian McNulty, the police surrounded them with guns and arrested Maxx McAllister on an outstanding RCMP warrant for burning her abusive fiancé to death. McNulty and the police extradited her from LSIA back to Canada to face charges of arson and first degree murder.
When Lane angrily twatted at the PD, Kermy Fulker phoned her that his group was also called The PD ("Paleto District"). In a race to finish the meeting before storm hit, Lane withdrew the temporary rule against reaching out to MCs to build relationships with them; but emphasized that they beware of snakes and cut them off at the head (and to keep personal relationships personal without prying into other groups). She added that members were no longer obligated to spend time with hangarounds, and encouraged the members to spend time with friends and to build relationships outside of the club. She and Wade announced that dues were increasing from $1500 to $2500 a week (or 30 sanitation runs).
In a "meet-and-greet" with Wade's old HOA group (now called The PD) on February 3, 2024, Kermy Fulker introduced Lane to Nico Kanto, Erin Cox, Siz Fulker, and Andi Jones. As they compared notes with Lane and Wade on the various jobs in the city, she transparently discussed her plan to work with other MCs to sell weed in Sandy--in theory, separating production and distribution (of ideally one weed strain) between groups to reduce the risk of a hefty drug trafficking charge. She explained that she didn't want the Raiders MC to be good at everything--she wanted to work with and earn the trust of other groups, especially given how new the Raiders MC were to Los Santos. Everyone present liked the idea of conspiring together on one weed strain.
The Nay Vote against Bev Brekker
Lane, convinced that she was too emotionally unavailable to love anyone romantically enough to be an Old Lady for the Raiders MC someday, felt like her ex-husband Beverly Brekker of The Company would be the closest she'd ever get. However, the only holdout vote blocking him from becoming an Old Lady was Rue Day, who didn't know him very well, didn't trust very easily (even though Lane and the rest of the Raiders MC trusted him), and was fully aware that Lane was not in love with him.
On February 4, 2024 at Chumash Pier, Rue conversed with Bev so that she could make an informed decision about whether to change her nay vote to a yea vote. But Bev felt like he was being interviewed, and eventually went off about the unwillingness to trust him--including an uninformed opinion that Allie never would have left the Raiders MC had they really been a family. He stormed off before Rue could respond. After concussing her head trying to catch back up to him, she declined his subsequent effort to make up. Afterward, Rue upset Lane with a comment about now feeling justified for the nay vote against Bev. Both Lane and Wade privately fumed that club members kept putting their petty personal feelings before the good of the club. She resolved to change the Raiders MC's Old Lady precedent some time in the future. Rue explained to Lane that she genuinely wanted to meet Bev to give him a yea vote, but lost respect for him for poking her fresh wound about Allie and storming out. Lane advised Rue not to count Bev out over one bad conversation, but declined the option Rue floated to override her nay vote. When Rue remarked that she was glad she went with her gut, Lane responded that it hurt to hear how vindicated she felt going against Lane's trust of Bev.
The next day in a private Chumash Pier conversation with Lane, Bev admitted to assuming that Rue was trying to trap him--an assumption based upon his belief that the Raiders MC judged each other for their worst moments, as well as his hurt that they hadn't trusted him as a leap of faith. Fixating upon Bev's statement that The Company had never once judged him for repeatedly failing, Lane voiced her conclusion that they'll always be friends but that he was looking for The Company--not the Raiders MC. Bev winced at that. Lane elaborated that if he was looking for blind faith and trust, then he belonged in a business or a friend group rather than a 1% motorcycle club where members were held accountable for mistakes that could mean life or death. Also given that the MC members had to put their lives on the line for each other every single day, she found it completely fair for someone to want 100% certainty before bringing an outsider in. Finally, Lane explained that Bev had gone into the conversation with Rue in bad faith by assuming she distrusted him based upon his own prejudgments, when really Rue just wanted to get to know him. Bev walked away dejected.
The Hunt for Kirk Jerkems
Kirk Jerkems was a Guber driver who had saved Patched Member Maxx McAllister from bleeding to death in his car. He later called in a favor from Lane to get picked up from a mine shaft where he, Chatterbox, and Bozo were stranded (Lane sent Beverly Brekker).
Disguised as vaudevillian and "Bread Gang" leader "Humphrey Pumpernickel", Kirk kept prank calling the Raiders MC daily--unaware that the harmless fun would go horribly awry. On February 7, 2024, he ran away from Rue Day, Wally West, and Tom Aoki into the Vespucci canals. Although Rue caught up with Kirk's friend Pico Pingafria (disguised as "Tony Tortilla"), Kirk sliced Wally with a knife in the water over his claim that Rue had stabbed Pico. To Kirk's horror, he found out in a phone conversation with Pico that he was actually fine, that he had only talked with Rue, that Wally had lied, and that Kirk had started a war against an entire MC over a simple misunderstanding. In retaliation, Rue stabbed Pico for real and left with his phone (with contacts) and hunting rifle. Wade Wilson and Lane also went looking for Kirk in Vespucci Beach, but left because they were in the middle of a Grime job. As a fake alibi, Osvaldo Pingafria lied to Lane that he and Kirk had been hunting. Kirk offered to pay Lane to rough up his friends Osvaldo and Jamal (for $750 each) at Snr. Buns--but Rue, Wally, and Tom didn't find anyone there. While running from the Raiders MC near Mirror Park, Kirk tried to mount a slowing semi-truck but got dragged underneath the wheels instead. Laughing, Wade took him with Rue to a remote location. They let Kirk off with a warning without bothering to unmask him, and Wade took his IFAK and phone before they dropped him off at the hospital. Wade returned Kirk's phone afterward.
Both the Raiders MC and Kirk moved on from the incident, with Rue hiring him to kidnap Harper Bazaar for stabbing her and four ADMC members. On February 9, 2024, Kirk phoned Lane to properly introduce themselves and to give her a Moonshine Bottle as a gift. To Kirk's confusion, she invited him to Chumash Pier to guard her in a meeting with the Mayor's wife Siobhan Thoroughbred and her lawyer friend Atty. Sebastian Birch. However after Lane got really drunk on Kirk's moonshine, Mayor Maximilian "Yung Dab" Thoroughbred showed up unannounced to confront her with Siobhan and Sebastian. Yung Dab and Siobhan became uneasy about Lane's odd behavior and Kirk's obvious attempt to hide behind a fence, saying they had already been kidnapped from Davis City Hall by Sonya Summers, her "goons", and Jessi Adler. As a prank, Kirk texted "its a trap" to Yung Dab and glared at them (as Siobhan called moonshine "toilet booze") from behind the fence holding a wrench. Afterward, Lane left with them and Kirk discovered that Patched Member Mason Calaway had been watching them all though a hunting rifle.
Nearly a week later, a Raiders MC hunting party (Wade Wilson, Maxx McAllister, Thomas Aoki, and Wally West) rolled up on Kirk because of his phone call to Lane where he had mocked her and called the Raiders MC a "book club" because she had declined his $2500 offer to hurt Bobby Beldrum (the "grandpa" of her best friend). Per Lane's orders, Wade stabbed Kirk outside of Snr. Buns and left. She told Kirk over the phone that she knew he had lied about the Vespucci Canals stabbing, and that his disrespect had finally crossed the line.
The MCs Unite against the "Los Santos Medical Club"
The relations between the Raiders MC and the Already Dead MC eventually began to thaw after the Chumash Pier incident. Having served out her seven-year prison sentence for murder in Canada, Maxx McAllister returned to Los Santos on February 10, 2024. When Maxx jokingly twatted that she need her "government-appointed ADMC member", ADMC Patched Member Fey joked with her over the phone to flirt and have a clandestine meeting so that both of their clubs could question their loyalty. Maxx also joked around with other ADMC members Irish, Finley Milton, and Shang Liu. However, Shang's girlfriend Allie--who was standing with him and Finn--walked out on her. Afterward, Maxx overheard Allie saying that she had left because she didn't want to talk to Maxx. Although Allie texted her an apology, Maxx had already deleted Allie's phone number by that point--and responded asking who she was (then later figured it out but found the apology disingenuous because Allie had only texted it after she got caught).
The MCs became offended when Emergency Medical Services workers--advertising themselves as the LSMC in the yellow pages (abbreviated from "Los Santos Medical Club")--wore denim kuttes (with a paramedic patch on the back) and jokingly masqueraded as MC members. In a Chumash Pier meeting with Lane and Wade Wilson on February 11, 2024, VP Oshiera Petros explained that the Lost MC had blooded out Lottie's Old Lady Dr. Ryan Wilson who had cheated on her with PD officer Louise Campbell--and suspected that "LSMC Old Lady" Louise wanted to bait the Lost MC into attacking EMS to push the new E.G.O. Act. That same day, "LSMC Road Captain" Charlotte Spade fired ADMC Patched Member Finn Milton from the EMS. EMS Chief Kiki Pendragon cited several complaints that people "didn't feel safe" around him (he kept talking about crime and threatened to stab a colleague), and also informed Irish that Finn had been threatening Charlotte and other "LSMC" to take off the denim or else he and his gang will come after them.
The ADMC, Lost MC, and Raiders MC united in a twatter war against Charlotte Spade over the kuttes. The three MCs met at The Boneyard for an "MC summit". Lane had VP Oshiera Petros explain the context around the LSMC and her Louise theory to the ADMC. Finn singled out Louise and Charlotte as the instigators, to which all of the MCs agreed to look for them. After they split up, VP Irish and Finn used "LSMC Sgt at Arms" Franklin "Happy" Lee to lure Charlotte down to a beach by Sustancia Road--where Lost MC President Floki Bartram, VP Oshiera, VP Wade Wilson, and Rue Day showed up in solidarity on Irish's invitation. Floki rebuked Charlotte and stabbed her in the gut to send a message to the rest of LSMC. The MCs returned Happy's phone and left him unharmed.
Officer Anita May responded to Happy's 911 call for help, and rushed Charlotte to the hospital. Happy identified Finn, "someone called Shawn", Floki, Oshiera, and "2 more" as the stabbing culprits. A recovering Charlotte identified Finn, Sean "the Irish guy", Oshiera, Floki (as the one who stabbed her), and a masked Wade and a masked Rue ("they wear that same fit everyday"). Anita deduced it was "Sean McQuillen" by Charlotte's identification of his twatting and Kiki's earlier meeting with him. Anita ran into Oshiera by her sister Sooty Gamwich's hospital bed and asked Oshiera about the Twatter war. Oshiera explained to her the history behind Louise antagonizing the Lost MC over Ryan, and how the police did nothing about the EMS upsetting the MCs (by pretending to be the "LSMC" as a joke). Oshiera denied knowing anything about what happened to Charlotte, claiming to have been "towing all day". Anita logged Oshiera's statement into the police report for Charlotte's stabbing. The next day at the Lighthouse, Irish returned Charlotte's phone to her adoptive sister Kiki Pendragon.
First Prospects and the Promotion of Maxx to Road Captain
Later on February 11, 2024 in a surprise prospecting ceremony beginning at Chumash Pier, both Wally West and Thomas "Tom" Aoki accepted Lane's offer to join the Raiders MC as their first two prospects. She forewarned them that from this point on, this commitment was for life with "only one way out". In Sandy, Lane tasked them to each catch a rattlesnake in a black silk bag and then walk back to Chumash together. At Chumash Pier, Wally and his sponsor Rue Day recited the prospecting oath. Tom and his sponsor Wade Wilson recited the prospecting oath. Rue and Wade then coaxed the snakes into biting their prospects (which the prospects later had to name and take care of for the duration of their prospecting phase). The Raiders MC took the poisoned prospects to the hospital to get treated with antivenom, then dressed the prospects up in their kuttes at the clothing store. Afterward in the chapter meeting, Tom (the only prospect still awake after storm) was allowed to listen in on their chapter meeting without speaking. Lane announced that she and Wade agreed to resist spending club money and to keep it in a safe for big purchases such as motorbikes or a house. She also announced that the Lost MC agreed to push Snake Pit in Sandy while she and Wade helped them to get to 100 rep and gave the free non-Snake Pit weed. Wade announced an agreement with Nico Kanto that the Raiders would push DINO NUGZ in Paleto for a week on The Paleto District app in exchange for the Paleto District pushing Snake Pit for a week on the Raiders MC app. Mason Calaway talked about sewers runs, Wade talked about pawn runs, and Rue talked about roof runs. Lane and Wade recapped the LSMC situation (with a final to-do to kidnap Louise Campbell for the Lost MC), and Rue Day warned she and Wade might have warrants for Floki Bartram stabbing A-EMT Charlotte Spade.
In the chapter meeting on February 16, 2024, Lane announced that she bought hangaround Hank Marston's Pounder for $15,000, set club member goals for the week that she's on vacation (including meeting one new person), initiated a "me time" rule where members take a club-mandated break, explained that hangarounds are allowed to say "no" because they don't know they're being evaluated, dropped Cody Stewart as a hangaround without any objections, asked that the club familiarize themselves with getaway strategies, mandated that members always have food and bandages on them (including a punitive 30-minute shift at Snr. Buns if they ask for food), went over club lingo, and had the club members pick out their motorbikes ($25,000 of each purchase covered by the club funds in ranking order). Afterward in the clubhouse, Lane shared with the club that she had entered a depressive state--and informed Wally and Tom that it happens to her every other month or so.
The Raiders MC and the Lost MC began actively cornering the Snake Pit strain on the Sandy Shores weed turf at the same time that The Company was cornering their ANITA strain there. On February 17, 2024 on the Sandy weed turf, Wade Wilson verbally agreed to friendly competition with KJ of The Company so that they could co-exist on the same Sandy weed turf rather than conflict. Later that same day in a hypothetical conversation with Rue Day, Patched Member Maxx McAllister admitted that she could see herself in a Raiders MC Command position as a Road Captain. Both Rue and Lane fully supported the idea. Afterward in an impromptu chapter, Lane put forward Maxx's name for a majority vote to promote her to Road Captain (the Raiders MC's highest Command position as well as the current third-in-command). The Raiders MC voted 3-1 to promote Maxx to Road Captain (Maxx did not vote). The previous Road Captain Mason Calaway voted nay even though he had declined to say anything when Lane had gone in a circle getting each club member's opinion prior to the voting. As soon as Lane closed the chapter, he walked away before she had finished talking. Devastated that everything he had been working for was now taken from him, Mason told Lane that he wished she'd talked to him first given how hard he had been working to earn that Road Captain position back. Lane explained to him that it wasn't "his position", that they weren't holding it for him, that he wasn't entitled to anything, and that she still distrusted him for accusing his own sister Allie of setting him up for another MC. In denial of Lane's take that his nay vote proved he only wanted the position for himself rather than what's best for the club, Mason claimed that he had only voted nay because he had instead wanted Maxx in High Command as a Sergeant At Arms. Mason later confessed to Maxx that she deserved to be Road Captain, and that he had been petty over not getting a heads-up conversation beforehand.
The Blooding Out of Lost MC Ally Oshiera
During the police investigation of the Charlotte Spade stabbing, Officer Anita May subpoenaed the phone records of both Irish and Finn Milton with "several" witnesses including a redacted one. Irish, Finn, and Wade also got warrants--but curiously, not Lost MC President Floki Bartram or his VP Oshiera Petros. In a Chumash Pier meeting on March 1, 2024, Wade and Lane forewarned their close ally Oshiera that Irish was questioning why neither Lost MC member had a warrant. Lane's bad gut feeling became validated when the ADMC pinged Oshiera to her own house. Wade expedited his warrant investigation, found out that Officer Alex Suarez had issued it, and phoned Irish that it had nothing to do with the Charlotte stabbing. At Oshiera's house, she admitted to Irish and the ADMC that she had given Anita a statement that claimed ignorance to Charlotte's stabbing. Irish pressured Oshiera to retract the statement as a test to see whether the warrants get dropped as a result, but she refused because she didn't like being bullied. Irish gave her 24 hours to retract it. In a Kortz Center meeting between the ADMC and Raiders MC, Irish and Finn informed Lane, Wade, Maxx, and Rue that Oshiera had refused to retract her police statement. Lane agreed on principle that Oshiera should retract a police statement that she shouldn't have given in the first place, and that Oshiera dating Senior Officer Kian McNulty was a problem. Afterward, Lane convinced Oshiera to retract the statement given how bad the optics looked for both her and the Lost MC's reputation (Oshiera's statement was gone from the police report by the time Probationary Police Officer Lenny Hawk had jailed Finn for his Accomplice to Attempted Murder of a Government Employee warrant on March 5, 2024, with Lenny noticing several edits to the report by Kian).
Later that same day in the chapter meeting, Lane congratulated everyone on exceeding their goals while she was gone, and set a daily quota of 50 weed bags to push in Sandy, encouraged the club to invite hangarounds to activities, relaxed the rule of when to tell a hangaround that they are being considered to become a prospect, and told the Raiders MC to stay out of the Charlotte Spade fallout. Nobody vetoed the proposed Raiders MC hangarounds: Mason nominated Aubrey Synnefo, and Lane nominated Tatum "Tate" Ross. Afterward, Lane introduced the club to Oola Lafayette. The Raiders MC then attended a 1% MC BBQ hosted by the Lost MC.
On March 4, 2024, Oshiera confided in her cop boyfriend McNulty that she wanted to leave the Lost MC--lamenting the lack of Lost MC members around, having to meet the ADMC alone outside of the house she and McNulty shared, and how caged she felt always having to worry about the politics of the different MC cultures. Although President Floki Bartram preferred a retirement vote for Oshiera, she opted to be blooded out of the Lost MC instead.
A New Ban on Romance in the Club and the Removal of Prospect Tom
Lane's personal rule against romantic relationships between club members stemmed from her and Allie witnessing the violent destruction of a club because the then-President's husband, the then-Chaplain, had cheated on her with a prospect.
Romance started to become an issue within the Raiders MC when Lane began distrusting prospect Tom Aoki for keeping her, Wade Wilson, and Maxx McAllister in the dark about a crush Tom had on Maxx--while non-Command like Rue Day and Beverly Brekker knew about it. To Maxx's humiliation, Rue laughed off her past emotional trauma and tried to ship her with Tom; and Bev falsely assumed Maxx reciprocated Tom's crush and schemed a way to protect him from scrutiny.
Shortly after on March 4, 2024, Tom admitted to Lane that he had slept with Tate the day before Lane had nominated her as a Raiders MC hangaround--and that the relationship was getting more serious. Lane stated that had he told her before the hangaround nomination, Tate wouldn't have become a hangaround--and that Tate will be removed as a hangaround if the relationship continues. Lane also told Tom about her own personal rule that she'll always vote against prospecting or patching someone in if they're in a relationship with a current club member. Afterward, Tom broke the news to Tate that if she wants to become a Raiders MC member, then their relationship can't continue. She ultimately decided to end the relationship. But even though Tom hadn't broken a club rule, an angry Lane rebuked him that by breaking her personal rule he broke her trust.
In a rainy chapter meeting on March 8, 2024, Lane motioned to remove Tate as a hangaround because of her sexual relationship with Tom. Lane added that Tom won't be beaten, that he was the last person she expected this issue from, that he subjected the club to two of his "personal romantic woes" within two weeks (Maxx clenched her fists), that it was disrespectful to keep Maxx and High Command (Lane and Wade) out of the loop on the Maxx crush, that he could've rebounded with anyone else in the entire city beside hangaround Tate, that she interpreted Tate's "unselfish" choice as sacrificing what she actually wanted (Tom) for the Raiders MC, that she now doubted whether Tate would always put the club first over her feelings for Tom, that his attitude to the other members was worsening with time, that he was acting above his position as a prospect, that her trust in him was broken, that this was not the Tom she voted in as a prospect, that she'll never vote to patch him in until he earns her trust back, and that this would be his only warning. Lane fined Tom $10,000 and dismissed him from chapter. The rain suddenly stopped and the sun came out. No one objected to Tate being removed as a hangaround. The Raiders MC unanimously voted 5-0 to enact Lane's proposed club rule:"No romantic relationships will exist between any two members of the Raiders MC. Should a romantic attachment form, one of the coupled members must relinquish their spot in the club and take up the role of Old Lady. Should that relationship end, the Old Lady will be blooded out. If a member has a relationship with someone outside the club who wishes to pursue membership, all romantic attachments must end before their name is proposed as a hangaround."Lane set a new club fund goal of $300,000 in one week. The Raiders MC agreed to abandon pushing weed in Sandy in favor of Wade's alternative of pushing The Paleto District's weed for Nico Kanto in Paleto. Lane set another priority to accrue Butcoin toward making guns. Mason Calaway successfully nominated Wyatt Jones as a hangaround. Rue successfully motioned to remove Envy Green as a hangaround due to her lack of interest in MC life and crime. Maxx warned that the Hydra Gang is hunting their Lumber Union neighbors, and Lane warned that Wyatt left the Lumber Union on bad terms. Maxx also vouched for the profitability of hunting.
Tom started a sexual relationship with Taryn Adler (Wade's old friend who was actively avoiding her) next. He nervously phoned his tow partner Wade on March 15, 2024 that Taryn was at the tow yard. Wade scooped up Tom in front of Taryn (making her furious) and was confused how she found him. Tom disclosed knowing Taryn from meeting her five years ago in Los Angeles, but kept their sexual relationship secret from Wade (and the rest of the Raiders MC). Tom was eventually removed as a Prospect from the Raiders MC on March 18, 2024.
First Heat Pawn Runs
On March 11, 2024, the Raiders MC turned 1000 jewelry into the Pawnshop for their first High Risk (tier 2) pawn run. After Wade Wilson lockpicked the unguarded pawn car (a Bravado) with an intermittent tracker on it, he struggled to drive it to five guarded pickup spots (Sandy Shores Airfield hangar, Grapeseed fish market, Del Perro Pier, the orange Observatory ball, and industrial area Ammu-Nation) with Lane in the passenger seat phoning orders and periodically repairing the car. A local occasionally shot at the pawn car. Mason Calaway and Thomas Aoki drove to each pickup spot ahead of time to shoot down its three local guards with hunting rifles. Wally West drove passenger Rue Day (who gave police callouts) in a stolen backup car and drew away two police cars in Del Perro. Although Officer Matt Dark-Rhodes began chasing the pawn car, Wade lost him in a sandstorm. Mason and Tom used up their rifle ammo at the orange Observatory ball, so they had to run over the local guards at the final pickup spot at the industrial area Ammu-Nation. The whole Raiders MC convoy headed to the lumber yard docks, where Wade and Lane rode a motorboat to an island and dropped off the goods for a payout of $10,000 in rolled cash.
On March 13, 2024, the Raiders MC turned in 1500 jewelry into the Pawnshop for their first-ever Hot Run (tier 3). Mason and Wally shot down the local armed guards at the pawn car. Wade lockpicked the pawn car (a Growler), activating a 15-minute tracker. He drove it with Lane as the passenger. Rue refueled the pawn car. Wade and Lane wandered the night-shrouded countryside while the crew scouted for police. Once the tracker timed out, Wade dropped off the goods for nearly $21,000 in rolled cash. No police responded. Lane commented that this hot pawn run was way easier than their medium pawn run.
The Raiders MC successfully completed three more heat pawns runs (2 High Risk and 1 Hot Run) with Wade driving the pawn car and Lane as the pawn car passenger. They almost got caught on the Hot Run when Rue had to repair the pawn car (a Bravado Gauntlet) after it started smoking in the police chase with about nine minutes left on the tracker; however, the police broke off to respond to a laundromat heist. The total $41,000 in rolled cash went straight into the club account.
On March 19, 2024, Wade and Lane turned in 1000 jewelry into the Pawnshop and duo'd their wildest High Risk pawn run yet (the Raiders MC's sixth pawn heat run and their first duo run). At the beginning of the job, aggressive locals followed the pawn car in a station wagon and opened fire--taking out the pawn car, passenger Lane, and driver Wade. After Wade and Lane left the hospital, they were able to find and repair the disabled pawn car. However after Wade stole the first pawnshop crate of goods, he got so scuffed he couldn't drive the pawn car anymore. Lane took over driving the pawn car as Wade sat in the passenger seat hallucinating out-of-control cars. Wade was able to steal the pawnshop crates from the final four spots. She drove him (in a broken passenger seat) across the train tracks to Paleto, where they abandoned the smashed bullet-ridden pawn car. Lane also had to drive the boat for a scuffed Wade. Wade successfully collected the $10,000 in rolled cash on the island. Afterward, he napped at Chumash Pier.
Solidarity with Enforcer Rue against the Lumber Company and Ethyl
To Lane's profound disappointment, their hangaround Wyatt Jones decided to reconcile with Lumber Company President Jack Kettleman even after Wyatt had pinged her to a Sandy Shores cove thinking Jack was going to kill him. In a "diet chapter" meeting on March 15, 2024, Lane removed Wyatt as a Raiders MC hangaround fully expecting him to accept Jack's offer to return to the Lumber Company. Later that night in a phone call with Lane, Lumber Company Manager Devon Willow fumed that Rue Day had followed him and two prospective customers into their furniture showroom house joking that Jack wanted to impregnate her. He then angered Lane by threatening to shoot Rue if she ever did that again. Jack also angered Lane by purposely not returning her phone call regarding the situation.
During failed attempts to meet Jack on March 17, 2024, Lane concluded that he wasn't taking her very seriously. She had Mason set Wyatt up and kidnap him with Rue. When Jack didn't keep his promise to meet Lane in 20 minutes, she lost interest in meeting him. Lane explained her disappointment to Wyatt that he had gone back to the Lumber Company despite their threat to his life, and scorned his admission that he was willing to die for them. When Jack finally phoned Lane that he was ready to meet, she told him that he and his crew don't respect them, that she had kidnapped Wyatt but spared him, and to lose her phone number. Lane ordered Rue to leave Wyatt unharmed, deleted Wyatt's phone number, and texted Jack that she knew he wanted to "remove" Wyatt. Jack read it aloud in front of the people he was talking to including Wyatt, and also shared a photo Lane had texted of Wyatt sitting alone in the Sandy Shores cove. Immediately afterward, Jack formally brought Wyatt back into the Lumber Company. The next day, in preparation for when the "cold war" turned hot, Lane got a Weapons License and bought her first legal handgun (an M1911).
On March 22, 2024, Lane got to know hangaround Aubrey Synnefo better from a long Chumash Pier talk and felt optimistic about her. Later that day, Patched Member Dax Marshall attended his first "diet chapter" meeting since his recent arrival to Los Santos. Lane set a personal goal for each member to donate $50,000 to the club safe to work toward a possible Chumash house purchase, removed Hank Marston as a hangaround without any objections, and set a goal to have all jewelry parts gone.
Lane and Rue faced a dilemma on the line between club business and personal business when her grandmother Ethyl Winkelfiddle returned to Los Santos while Rue was out of town investigating whether she had died. Ever since Ethyl's favorite daughter Sawyer died from giving birth to Rue, Ethyl had spread hurtful superstitions that Rue was evil and the cause of the family's tragedies. Having requested and received Rue's blessing (and her knife) to kill Ethyl, Rue's boyfriend Finn Milton and two ADMC members kidnapped a drunken Ethyl on March 25, 2024 at her old house in front of her friends Sooty Gamwich and Keith Herman. During Finn's confrontation of Ethyl on a rainy beach, she doubled down that Rue should have never been born. Finn cut off one of her fingers with the knife Rue had given him to use on Ethyl. Lane arrived at Finn's invitation (she secretly brought her M1911 handgun along to shoot Ethyl), and asked Ethyl whether she had set the fire that almost killed Rue as a baby. Ethyl confessed she had waited for her sister to leave the house and then intentionally set the fire to try to murder Rue. Infuriated, Finn stabbed Ethyl, set her on fire, and ocean dumped her dead body. Lane didn't get to use her gun, and felt dissatisfied that Finn and the ADMC got to kill Ethyl rather than Lane and the Raiders MC. Later that day, Rue returned to Los Santos. Lane told Wade that the Raiders MC should have supported Rue on this personal matter, and told Rue that they should have shown up for her in a united front as a "family".
On March 29, 2024, Wade, Lane, and Rue found out from Kermy Fulker that he left the Not HOA (now led by Julio Thomas). Later that day in the chapter meeting, Wade presented a goal of $600,000 in the club account ($150,000 extra club expenses saved), and a 2Q 2024 plan for the club to buy bikes, laundromat services, and a full pay day on jobs. He also tasked Rue with enforcing Raiders MC chain-of-command. Nobody vetoed the proposed hangarounds: Lane nominated free agent Kermy, Rue nominated Valeria "Val" Rodriguez, and Lane nominated Leonidas Lantsov. Rue warned the club about potentially being investigated for the murder of her grandmother and to keep the situation secret.
Initiation of Prospect Wally to Patched Member
Having previously agreed that prospect Wally West needed to step up in confidence and self-motivation to be patched into the Raiders MC, Lane, Wade Wilson, and Rue Day finally felt that Wally was ready. The Raiders MC unanimously voted to patch Wally in as the club's first non-founding Patched Member. For Wally's initiation on April 10, 2024, Lane and his sponsor Rue had him kill his pet snake from the prospecting ceremony. Afterward, the Raiders MC all congregated at the Vespucci tattoo parlor to watch Wade give Wally and his sponsor Rue matching snake tattoos. Then they all posed outside for a group photo with their brand-new Patched Member Wally.
In the chapter meeting on April 13, 2024, Lane congratulated the Raiders MC on hitting their $500,000 club house fund goal (making them all eligible for a week of 100% payouts rather than the usual 25%). With Wade having bought his motorbike, Lane announced that Road Captain Maxx McAllister was next in line to be sent $70,000 from the club bike fund.
With Wade Wilson now buying The Guild weed strain "Zazo" from Nico (for $600 per weed brick) to push as the top weed strain in Paleto, Wade had misgivings about Allie's offer on April 19, 2024 to traffic her "Pineapple Express" weed strain in Paleto. Wade didn't want to grow weed anymore because of the misery of trying to push the lower weed strain in Sandy Shores. However, he agreed to put Alice on the Raiders MC app to grow "Pineapple Express" as a backup weed strain to sell if they couldn't get weed from Nico.
The Raiders MC vs. Mayor Maximilian Thoroughbred
By the time Mayor Maximilian Thoroughbred ran for re-election, the Raiders MC had soured on him and felt more partial to a rival Already Dead MC candidate he hated named Solomon Walker. On April 19, 2024 at the Chumash Pier, Carmine Costello overheard Rue Day's phone call in her car where she said if Mayor Max is here she needs to leave (because she was still mad about his demeaning response to her PD quota system question). When Carmine told Max (who mistook her for Rue Minmi of the ADMC), the two of them confronted Rue at her car and antagonized her until she ran Carmine over. Rue tried to run over Max next, then chased him on foot but was thwarted by the wrench of bystander Raymond Romanov. Mason Calaway put her in her car and drove off with her. Intending to target Mayor Max's wife Siobhan Thoroughbred, Wade Wilson looked up her information at Davis City Hall. Immediately afterward outside of the building, Wade and Rue ran into Mayor Max and Siobhan. During a heated exchange of words, Max associated Rue with the ADMC and claimed that Solomon was attempting to seize control of the government for the ADMC. Max swore to Wade and Rue that if he got re-elected, he would make their lives a living hell. Wade threatened back, "So will we." Siobhan texted her friend Lane that Wade was a "hater" under the expectation that she would reprimand her own VP, and Max said he couldn't wait to outlaw motorcycle clubs. Later that day, Rue and Wally West found Max's car and robbed it; then Wade and Wally clamped it. Then after an unarmed Finn Milton got shot by the police, Max antagonized him and Rue.
On April 20, 2024, Lane saw Siobhan's "hater" text and immediately sided with Wade without knowing what happened. Once their text exchange ended with Lane texting that she didn't care what Siobhan thought, Siobhan blocked her. Afterward, Lane twatted "Max, should probably check on your wife, she seems hysterical". Later that day in the election announcement, Max won a second term as Mayor of Los Santos while ADMC candidate Solomon Walker won Deputy Mayor as the runner-up. Lane and Wade agreed to still target Siobhan (regardless of whether she was Chief of Staff) and Max, and entertained conspiring with the ADMC.
The Raiders MC kept a lookout for Siobhan's car. On April 22, 2024 at Legion Square, Siobhan was sitting alone in the passenger seat of her car waiting for Mayor Max to return. Finn drove up to her car (with both Rue Day and Rue Minmi) without seeing her, and booted her car right in front of the police. Lane, Mason Calaway, and ADMC Rue all began slow-rolling Siobhan's car. ADMC Rue successfully fled from police Sgt. Kian McNulty's felony stop.
In a Chumash Pier meeting on April 23, 2024, the newly-elected Deputy Mayor Solomon Walker explained his political agenda to Raiders MC members Lane, Wade, Maxx McAllister, and Dax Marshall. Lane criticized Mayor Max's PD quota system for monetarily incentivizing the police to stack charges. When she directly asked Solomon whether he was part of the Already Dead MC, he responded to ask him again in three months. Lane warned Solomon that Mayor Max would undoubtedly try to pass legislation against the MCs. Solomon stated that past City Council members lacked backbone, and that he wouldn't be afraid to voice a dissenting opinion. Lane and Solomon went over the City Council members who might side against Mayor Max, and agreed that the current government legislation was too controlling. Lane and Wade vowed to keep antagonizing Mayor Max. Wade vouched for Serge Cross in the runoff election for Head of BAR Association.
First Laundromat Heist (The "Shell Game" Plan)
On April 23, 2024 for the Raiders MC's first-ever laundromat heist, six of them all dressed the same in white suits with identical bull masks for a "shell game" plan. Lane cut the generator power, alphabet-hacked the inside power box to disable the power, and broke washing machines and dryers with Wade for coins. Wade Wilson stole the USB and successfully lockpick-hacked the safe open for banded cash. Rue Day held Rod Raige hostage, gave customer Shang Liu food after she had to turn him away, and negotiated with Snr. Officer Flop Dugong. During the ensuing police chase, Wade drove Lane and Rue in a red Draugur to the red garage where Wally West, Mason Calaway, and Dax Marshall were waiting with two other stolen Draugurs: one blue and one white.
All six of the Raiders MC crew shuffled around each other, and split up evenly into the three colored cars (two of the cars being decoys with no loot). Cadet Crocodile Steve (with Snr. Officer Cletus Cornwood as his passenger) and Snr. Officer Ellis Pinzon chased the blue Draugur driven by Wally West with Rue as his passenger. Officer Alexis Onfire chased the correct swap car with all of the loot, the white Draugur driven by Wade with Lane as his passenger, but broke off to help Pinzon chase the blue Draugur. No police chased Mason (with Dax as his passenger) in the red Draugur, so he drove interference for Wally. Wally eventually lost all the police in a wild chase. The Raiders MC exchanged 10,987 coins for about $2746 in banded cash. Afterward, Wade gave Rue $30,000 in club funds (and Lane also gave Rue about $13,000 in "friend money") to help Rue buy her first motorbike. Rue bought a Hexer from Finn Milton at Mosley's Auto.
In the chapter meeting on April 26, 2024, Lane announced the club's new dirty money purchase program and Allie's new weed strain "Short Round". Wade successfully nominated Aoki "Blue" Ma (formerly of The District a.k.a. the "NotHOA") to be a hangaround. Afterward, the club rode on their new motorbikes.
