==🏍️ General Description ==
Darcy Lane is the President of the Raiders MC. She goes by "Lane" or "Laney" because "Darcy" is derived from her abusive policeman father Bill Darcy (Lane started a hit list of people who purposely called her "Darcy"). She hates the police and even ex-police due to all of the abuse and corruption she suffered in her past. During her manic highs, she tends to walk and run faster, pace, text in all caps, and/or become more disinhibited and more tempted by her darkest impulses (particularly if a Raider isn't monitoring her). Lane also suffers a depressive state every other month or so, which can last anywhere from two days to several.
==💀 Background ==
Darcy Lane was born to young unmarried parents who couldn't decide which last name to give her, so they gave her both of their last names. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a child, suffering bouts of mania and depression. She hated her abusive policeman father Bill Darcy, and felt closer to her best friend Alice "Allie" Omen's mother than her own political activist mother Penelope Lane. Lane ran away from home at 16-years-old, and travelled with and hung around motor clubs for a long time. At 19-years-old, Lane helped Allie kill her abusive ex-policeman stepfather to avenge his murder of Allie's mother (which Lane's father had helped him cover up). Lane and Allie then bounced from town to town, leaving behind jobs and various girlfriends whom Lane ghosted. Lane was once addicted to heroin when she tried to self-medicate the manic episodes that forced her and Allie to skip town, but got clean during a year in jail. Lane once skipped town because her impaired driving resulted in a fatal hit-and-run accident. She also skipped town after she shot James (the best friend of her most recent ex-girlfriend Meredith) half a dozen times during an argument during a manic episode, a murder which Lane has a recurring nightmare about.
Lane was married to Beverly Brekker for one day in an agreement to rebel against his parents. She maintained a lifelong friendship with him following their amicable divorce.
Lane eventually wanted to revive and lead the Raiders MC, which was originally a 1970s motorcycle club. She followed her VP Wade Wilson (whom she met in jail) to a rebuilt Los Santos.
==🐍 History ==
Outreach to other Motorcycle Clubs
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 began pitching to the The Neon Tigers MC, the Lost MC, and Chaos Legion MC that all MCs unite together as a singular voting bloc to leverage the City Council 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 (her VP Wade Wilson'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. Lane strove for transparency to avoid looking like a schemer or politician.
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 also 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 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 (and 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 replacement club for the Bondi Boys 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 rank 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 Manic Episode
Lane's first full manic episode in Los Santos started on the night of January 21, 2024, when she went out drinking, twatting, and texting Allie terrible drunk selfies. The next day, Lane energetically ran sanitation with Wade Wilson and hangaround Thomas Aoki. Wade asked Lane why she was running so goofy and walking faster like Beverly Brekker. Lane openly floated investing in stocks.
With Allie, Rue, and Wade all picking up on Lane's manic symptoms, Lane binged alcohol with City Council Chief of Staff Juno Sweeney on January 23, 2024 at the Liquid Library. They drunkenly swung at each other before Juno electrocuted herself on the sword and started choking on her own vomit in front of Tessa Lamb. Lane drunkenly twatted out a selfie with them. Paramedics, Wade, Mayor Maximilian Thoroughbred, and Brick James all showed up. After Lane sobered up, she paced around Wade in a circle before they decided how to punish their third-in-command Mason Calaway for throwing Rue Day off the pier in front of the hangarounds. Lane's mind was then 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. A worried Allie cautioned Lane that she recognized the symptoms of her latest manic episode all too well, e.g., not sleeping, extra energy, bad choices, drinking too much, and live-twatting it--and that they couldn't run away from the city this time. Lane confessed that she enjoyed feeling good despite the inevitable crash.
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.
Although Lane had tried to be lenient about Raiders MC members socializing with the Already Dead MC, she and Rue Day had grown 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 had 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. Afterward, Wade Wilson beat Mason for saying Allie had set him up (which if true would be punishable by death).
After sending snapshots to Wade and Allie of Mason's month-old texts to Aubrey about the BBMC, 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 Allie 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, 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.
Crossroads on Whom to Trust
Although Lane generally grants people a default amount of trust, they have to keep building upon it (like filling a cup) to fully earn it. Her trust is also very easy to lose.
Lane still cared about and fully trusted her lifelong best friend of two decades, Allie, despite her departure from the Raiders MC. However with Allie no longer under the Raiders MC's official protection and about half of the club (Rue Day and Maxx McAllister) angry with her, Lane 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.
Also in the aftermath of the Chumash Pier incident, Lane lost all interest in a relationship with the Already Dead MC as she now considered them too disrespectful and egotistical from a legacy they had built five years ago as the Bondi Boys MC. Lane and Wade fully committed to strengthening alliances with the Lost MC (particularly with their VP Oshiera Petros), the former HOA (particularly with Kermy Fulker), and the Chaos Legion MC. In the Raiders MC chapter meeting on February 2, 2024 (where they unanimously voted hangarounds Wally West and Tom Aoki in as prospects), the Raiders MC voted 5-0 to claim a turf to push weed in Sandy (a turf they would go on to share with other MCs). Lane also 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.
In a "meet-and-greet" with The "Paleto District" 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.
Convinced that she was too emotionally unavailable to love anyone romantically enough to be an Old Lady for the Raiders MC someday, Lane 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. Afterward, a sad Lane admitted to Rue over the phone about not being sure anymore whether Bev was good for the club--given her track record of thinking that Allie, Mason, and Taylor would be good for the club. But Lane affirmed that she would die before she gave up on the Raiders MC.
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 and the "Los Santos Medical Club"
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). As a long-time clown, Kirk had a penchant for mischief and pushing boundaries with his trolling. Disguised as vaudevillian and "Bread Gang" leader "Humphrey Pumpernickel", Kirk kept prank calling the Raiders MC daily--but went too far on February 7, 2024 when he sliced Wally West with a knife in the waters of the Vespucci canals. Kirk had been running from Rue Day, Wally, and Thomas Aoki over the prank calls, and wound up slicing Wally over his falsified claim that Rue had stabbed Kirk's friend Pico Pingafria (disguised as "Tony Tortilla"). In retaliation, Rue stabbed Pico for real and left with his phone (with contacts) and hunting rifle. Lane and Wade Wilson 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.
The "Los Santos Medical Club"--advertising themselves as the LSMC in the yellow pages--was a group of Emergency Medical Services workers who offended the MCs by wearing denim kuttes (with a paramedic patch on the back) and jokingly masquerading 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. Lane also pointed out that the E.G.O. Act would not apply if different gangs kidnapped the LSMC members. 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 the beach--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.
First Prospects and First Depressive State
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.
Lane's first depressive state in Los Santos began on February 15, 2024. That same day, Kirk Jerkems called with a $2500 offer to hunt Bobby Beldrum. When she declined because Bobby is her "best friend's grandpa", Kirk mocked her and called the Raiders MC a "book club". On Lane's orders, Wade Wilson, Maxx McAllister, Thomas Aoki, and Wally West rolled up on Kirk outside of Snr. Buns. After Wade stabbed Kirk, Lane twatted, "I love my book club :)" Afterward in a phone call with Kirk, she told him that she knew he was in the "Bread Gang", that he had stabbed her prospect Wally, and that he and Osvaldo had lied about hunting. She explained that the disrespect in his last phone call had finally crossed the line. In the chapter meeting on February 16, 2024, Lane announced that she bought 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 Raiders MC 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.)
Lane left Los Santos for a week to work through her depressive state. She decided to try prescription medication again for her bipolar disorder, and noticed an improvement in her mood.
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.
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.
Tired of being the Vice President of the Lost MC with so few members around, Oshiera decided to leave the club. She confided in her cop boyfriend McNulty how she had to meet the ADMC alone outside of the house she and McNulty shared, and felt caged from 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. Oshiera was "sent home" on March 7, 2024.
Tategate
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. Although Tate ultimately decided to end the relationship, Lane interpreted Tate's text to Mason Calaway about unselfishly picking the Raiders MC to mean that Tom was the "selfish" choice that she truly wanted.
On March 6, 2024, Allie privately confided in Lane that Irish asked her to be his ADMC hangaround (and that she wasn't considering it). Lane fumed to Allie about wanting to stab Irish, and wished that Allie wasn't friends with him. Later that day, Lane couldn't get a straight answer from Tom about who actually decided to end his relationship with Tate, stating that Tom should have broken it off since Tate couldn't make an informed decision. Emphasizing that Tom hadn't broken a club rule, an angry Lane still rebuked him that by breaking her personal rule he broke her trust.
In a rainy chapter meeting on March 8, 2024 (preceded by Lane throwing all of her bipolar meds in the ocean), 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."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.
Tom started a sexual relationship with Taryn Adler (Wade's old friend who was actively avoiding her) next, and again kept it secret from High Command Lane and 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 in 1000 jewelry into the Pawnshop for their first-ever 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 Day
To Lane's profound disappointment, Raiders MC 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. 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 Calaway 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).
Rue confided in Lane that she was going to be out of town to investigate whether her estranged grandmother Ethyl Winkelfiddle had died. On March 25, 2024, Rue's boyfriend Finn Milton, Fey, and JT kidnapped a drunken Ethyl at knifepoint 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".
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.
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 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.
