The guys arrive and hall the two guys into the meat wagon. It turns out that they are both Prospects for the Bandits and their job was to clear up the platform ready for when the start using the train line.

I'm sitting at the bar while I hear Xavier going off in the back office at Knuckles and Blaze. Slater is behind the bar and occasionally looks towards the office. I wonder if he is contemplating going and rescuing the guys but is then thinking better of it.

As I sit there, I realize that I've missed calls from my boss Grae. I quickly ring him.

"OMG MIa, I have been trying to ring you and Ariel all afternoon. Someone broke into the Outreach Centre and trashed the place. All the rooms are overturned and everything is a mess. The police are here but I wanted to see if you and Ariel can come down." Grae sighs.

"On my way." I say as I hang up the phone. Slater must had heard the whole thing as he is banging on the Office door which has Xavier yelling about what the Fuck is going on.

"Someone trashed the Outreach Centre." he says and all three men come out of the room.

"Where is Ariel?" Blaze asks. "She is in the spare room. She is sleeping so I don't want to disturb her with this." I reply as I grab my gear and head to the door.

"Leave her alone Blaze, the girls are here and they will keep an eye on her." Xavier says as he looks towards a group of club girls who are playing poker at a side table. Candy nods "I'll keep an eye on her, she was pretty beat so I doubt she will wake up anytime soon."

"Thanks Candy." I say as we head out the door.

Arriving at the Outreach Centre I can see Grae and Senior Sargent Bryson standing in the lobby. They look deep in conversation as we all enter the building. There is gear everywhere, all of Evie's reception area is flipped over and I can even see some of the doors ripped from their hinges.

"If you can think of anyone who would want to do this or anything else, don't hesitate to give me a call." Bryson says as he hands Grae a card.

"Grae, I'm here." I say as I approach him. He looks a mess. The Outreach Centre was his baby and to see all his hard work like this would surely break him. I reach out to him and he pulls me into a hug. "I can't believe this has happened. Who would gain anything from ruining this place?" I say as I turn to Bryson.

"That's what we are trying to work out. Can you think of anyone who would want to destroy this place? Like what about the local MC? I heard that they can be a little 'threatening'." Bryson says as he taps his notepad.

"Never, you leave that club alone. They are the main thing that has kept this town safe and they have invested a lot of time and money into this place." Grae spits back. As much as Grae is not a member of the Wanderers, he was good friends with Micky and most of the old club members and will defend those guys till the day he dies.

"I'm not blaming them, I've been around this town a little while so it could be someone who has an issue with the club. We need to keep our options open." Bryson replies as he sees Xavier and the guys are out in the carpark.

"I might just go and have a little chat to the President. See how his new role is going." Bryson says with a slight snicker and I make a mental note to mention it to Xavier later.

Grae starts to pick up Mandy's computer screens when Knuckles comes in. "Leave it there Grae, you will have to wait until your insurance company comes and has a look. They generally want to take pictures and shit." Knuckles says while he is checking the side door to the lobby.

"Who has keys to this place?" Knuckles asks.

"Hmm, me, Mandy, Ariel and the security company." Grae responds.
