Common Room
Shieldmaidens Clubhouse
San Clemente, California
2:28 PM PST
Things had been going swimmingly lately for the San Clemente Charter of the Shieldmaidens MC. The active wrestler members like Vice President Haylie Jo “Halo” Annis, were seemingly seeing their careers on an upward trajectory. A few prospects, Ichika Sanada and Ravenna “Cuervo” Rojas had even started and were seeing things happen even if they hadn’t all been positive. However a chill had come over the Clubhouse when Charter President Tatyana “Tanya” Tarasova had been told of a phone call that had just come in and the look on the Russian woman’s face had not been one of happiness. This was not unusual for Tanya as she was not one to show emotional outbursts very often but given the unexpected nature of the call, it had still been a cause for worry and low level alarm amongst the Club’s members.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: Come with me, DeeKay need us in Church.
Halo nods to her president and follows Tanya into the Church room’s inner sanctum, closing the big heavy door behind them. Club IT officer Deidre Kaylin “DeeKay” Metcalf sits at the long table usually used for official club business and especially club votes as Charter President and Vice President join her in their seats.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: There is a problem, da?
DeeKay nods slowly, almost like she’s afraid of saying it out loud.
Deidre Kaylin "DeeKay" Metcalf: Yeah… the police are gonna be here in fifteen minutes to investigate you, Halo.
Halo shakes her head in clear outraged annoyance.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Drugs?
DeeKay nods slowly, almost apologetically.
Deidre Kaylin "DeeKay" Metcalf: Yeah…
Halo nods.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Are they gonna toss the clubhouse or just take me to piss quiz me?
DeeKay shrugs.
Deidre Kaylin "DeeKay" Metcalf: I don’t know.
Halo sits back in her seat while Tanya just looks at her VP.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: There is nothing to find, da?
Halo shakes her head.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: No, not unless somebody else has been sneakin’ around without anyone noticing. I’ve been sober for five, pushn’ six years. They can test me any way they want to because I won't pop positive. CEW tests us regularly anyway so I have lots of negative drug tests. This is all because Sofia fuckin’ called me a southern junkie. Chi Chi threatened to shoot her ass so we might wanna check to see that Chi Chi doesn’t have a nine on her or on her bike. Then VIP tried to use what Sofis said to claim I was on p.e.d.’s or that I was off the wagon on narcotics, which, even when I was usin’, that was never my thing, Whiskey? Hell yes! Coke? Also hell yes, but that shit? Naw, it was easier to score the other stuff.
Tanya nods and then looks at DeeKay.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: Go make sure Chi Chi has no firearms on her.
DeeKay nods and quickly leaves the room. Tanya sighs.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: This could go bad. If the police are not friendly or have aspirations, they could try and trump things up against you.
Halo nods gravely.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Yeah, that’s what VIP was doin’ too. He’s tryin’ to get me in trouble with CEW ‘cause I’m ‘bout to get a shot at Azzy Vebbins for the title and he ain’t a fan of that ‘cause he’s been runnin’ like a little bitch from for over a year.
Tanya barely moves a muscle at all.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: If they do, we will have to talk discipline.
Halo sighs again.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Yeah, I know…
She looks away and pounds the table.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Goddammit! She’s fuckin’ family too!
Her hands ball into fists as she looks like she wants to scream.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Woman and I are married to fraternal twins. She got cousins who are prospecting here. She has cousins in Mount Diablo and New Orleans. Her sister is prospecting here too and…
She shakes her head exasperatedly.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Fuck!
Tanya nods calmly, almost coldly.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: And this VIP use to get you in trouble here too, da? Does he know what happens if you are charged with simple possession?
Halo shakes her head.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: No, he has no idea that possession or use draws a suspension and that dealing or distribution means loss of patch and excommunication. He just thinks it’ll fuck with my head and let him bray like a fuckin’ jackass while avoidin’ havin’ to straight up fight me.
Tanya nods.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: Do you think he call the police or do you think they just take initiative because of social media?
Halo shrugs.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Would I put it past him?
She shakes her head.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: No, but I also think this was so spontaneous, he didn’t have the time to plan that out so I doubt he called anybody about this.
Tanya nods slowly to herself.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: So this likely just cops taking a run, either because they have thoughts on making names for themselves at our expense or because somebody told them to come have a look.
Halo nods sadly.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: I’m sorry…
Tanya shakes her head.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: This not your fault. You handled the Sofia problem before it became a full thing. She do this to herself and to us. We will take care of this and then we will help Cuervo, da?
Halo nods firmly.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Yeah…
Tanya nods and stands, Halo following her out to the common room. As they walk into the room, DeeKay comes up to them and nods quickly.
Deidre Kaylin "DeeKay" Metcalf: Chi Chi’s clean, nothing on her, nothing on her ride.
Before Tanya and Halo can react, a knock sounds from the door. Tanya nods and Prospect Yukari Kojima answers the door. Standing there are two police officers, John Stall and Billie Clayton, neither looking particularly happy to be there.
Officer John Stall: Is Haylie Jo “Halo” Annis present?
Halo nods.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: That would be me.
Officer Clayton steps forward and nods firmly to her.
Officer Billie Clayton: Is there a place we can go for privacy?
Halo leads her back into an empty room where Officer Clayton performs a personal search. As that is going on, Officer Stall steps up to Tanya.
Officer John Stall: You are the President, correct?
Tanya simply stares back at him.
Officer John Stall: Look, we don’t actually think she has anything on her or anything but somebody was up our Captain’s ass because somebody claimed there was a dealer here despite the fact that everybody…
He nods pointedly.
Officer John Stall: And I mean… everybody… in the precinct knows that the club hates narcotics and has rules against such things.
He shakes his head ruefully.
Officer John Stall: I don’t know who thinks that’s all bullshit but the sooner we do our nominal sweep, the sooner we can leave you folks alone.
As he finishes talking, Officer Clayton and Halo return from the room.
Officer Billie Clayton: She’s clean on her person.
Officer Stall nods.
Officer John Stall: Ok, test her and I’ll have a quick look around but I think we’re on a bullshit wild goose chase here.
Officer Clayton nods and leads Halo to the bathroom while Officer Stall starts a search. Tanya nods to Yukari and the prospect opens the Church door to allow him access. Officer Stall moves into the room and quickly gives it a once over. Officer Clayton and Halo return from the bathroom and Officer Stall steps out of the room he was in. Tanya nods again and Yukari closes the door behind him. The two officers spend the next fifteen minutes going room to room finding nothing. As they complete their search they both nod to Tanya and the others gathered in the common room.
Officer John Stall: Thank you for making this as painless as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience. You ladies have a nice day now.
The two officers take their leave and the assembled mass of Shieldmaidens all visibly relax.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: DeeKay, sweep the rooms. Have Doc help you to make sure they left nothing, especially in Church.
DeeKay nods and hurries off to get the necessary equipment.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: Everyone did well to tell them nothing, to volunteer nothing.
She looks to her Vice President and smiles warmly.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: Especially you, Halo. You did well restraining yourself, da?
Halo shrugs.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: I mean, the fact that Cheech managed to not catch a charge…
The other titter even as the tattooed Japanese Sergeant-At-Arms, Chiaki “Chi Chi” Sanada, grins, her eyes flashing at her friend and Vice President.
Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: Ey fakku bish! Chi Chi no start shit!
Halo smirks playfully.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: I know, Cheech, you don’t start shit, you finish it.
Chi Chi grins with sadistic glee.
Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: Hai!
Halo shakes her head sadly.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: I'm sorry for this everyone.
The others all shake their heads, several audibly murmuring the word no.
Tatyana "Tanya" Tarasova: As I say, this no your fault. We will handle the problem, da?
The others all respond in unison, each one saying the word yes in solidarity with their VP. Halo just smiles gratefully.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: Thank you.
The smile starts to melt off, replaced with slight anger.
Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis: We gotta help Cuervo kick that bitch’s ass and Imma make that bastard which he hadn;’t started shit!
The others all cheer as Tanya nods her approval.
