AXEL BENNETT.
Axel had already had a full day in court. He simply had clients one after another, and it was finally time for a long enough break that he could leave the courthouse to get something to eat. Walking to the nearest cafe, he got in line. Checking his watch, he looked around seeing that most of the tables were full. Axel was really hoping to get a break from the courthouse, but his luck wasn’t looking good. Ordering his sandwich, he looked around once more before paying. It didn’t take long for his food to be ready so he simply grabbed it and walked over to someone who was sitting by themselves. “Sorry, I would normally never do this, but can I sit here? I won’t bug you, I have some work to finish anyway.”
It was a rarity that Jackie had been approached in public so easily. She wasn’t apart of the tribe of men that rode around on harleys, but everyone who had their wit about them in that city knew who she was tied to. More so, who her father was. The pair of angel wings that peeked out between the dimples of her lower back was a pretty obvious indicator, too. Alas, it still happened on occasion, and Jackie found herself surprised when she peeked up from her sketch book to make eye contact with someone she didn’t recognize. “It’s a free country, sweetheart.” Jackie murmured while her thumb smudged the jagged line her pencil had just made. “Sit where you want.”
PAOLA CARDENAS.
Old habits died hard - no matter how one tried to kill them. This one, however, wasn’t one Paola cared to eliminate from her regular routine. After she left Paradise, on nights, she knew her older brother was going to be running late dealing with club business Paola picked up groceries, and she cooked for the week. As busy as both were, she still tried to guarantee there was food in the fridge to keep Coco fed, and if any of the other sinners came over that, they had something good to eat. Even if she actively worked to wrap herself in mystery - Everyone knew Coco couldn’t cook for shit, and Paola was fucking talented, specializing in keeping Coco’s ass alive. It was a seedy little grocery store, but she mostly came here not for the selection ( which was actually pretty decent ), but at this day and time, it was practically empty. The angel came her not just to stock her fridge but to dance down the aisles to whatever was on the radio. This habit of midnight grocery shopping helped to release the pent of tension in her bones. She didn’t need a one night stand to fuck up her life right now, and mamita could handle her own just fine. Something, however, startled her, and Paola restrained herself from reaching for the knife in her boot, ready to whack someone to death with a bunch of celery. “How much of that did you see?” // @dhstarters
"I saw probably more than you wanted me to see.” Jackie breathed out with a smirk on her lips, arms crossed and resting against the edge of the shopping cart. She had just added one last box of cereal on top of a heaping cart load of meats, veggies, and starches for the dinner that was being held in the garage, and the grabbing of the cheerios had given her the perfect shot of catching Paola in the act. “You sure you ain’t stripping on the side at Paradise?”
RYAN HUNT.
“You’re probably right,” he agreed. He really did hope she was just confusing him with another person. One of his constant worries being only a few hours from home is someone recognizing him as Ryan Kaine. Though the fact that he had basically no friends growing up helped with him not being so memorable. Still, it was one of his concerns whenever someone mentioned recognizing him. “Whoa, alright. The first step you gotta take to make sure this works is believing it will. If you don’t, well…there really isn’t anything I can do to help you. So, you willing to open up your mind and trust a stranger just a little?”
Jackie’s lips pursed together all while staring back at this guy. She had prompted to let it go, so she did just that. It didn’t really matter too much, anyway, when there was no threat prompted and it was more or less just some poor stranger striking up a conversation with her. One that looked insanely familiar, but maybe she would just chalk him up to being a regular drooler at Paradise. Moving her hands to her thighs, Jackie smoothed down her jeans, creasing her brows together. “Do you realize what you’re even saying? Trusting a stranger, especially when you’re a woman, ends with you bound and in a slaughter house.” She ticked her brow. “How do I believe if I don’t even know your middle name?”
RAFAEL MARTINEZ.
‘‘A’ight, I can’t watch you like that,’‘ Rafael shook his head when he noticed that she was really struggling. He walked over to the window and closed the sunblinds, dimming the current natural light coming straight from the big windows. Normally it was kind of nice, actually, but he figured it was bad for the hangover headaches she was pushing through in the given moment. He pushed the ibuprofen her way and got behind the counter. ‘’I’ll make you some toast and juice to nudge those sugar levels back to normal,’’ He said almost absentmindedly as he started working on it. Greasy food always helped, but it was morning, so he didn’t think a burger was a way to go. ‘’I have a hunch,’’ He responded as he joked about it. She was right, he hardly remembered anything from that night. ‘’Hey now,’’ He pointed a finger at her. ‘’My stomach definitely wasn’t grateful, but I suppose I can be– at least for the better part of that night.’’ He acknowledged with a chuckle. ‘’Y’know I woke up in the fuckin’ bathtub the next day?’’
It was pretty apparent that Jackie was struggling. No, she wasn’t actually dying, but Jackie would argue that she was until she was actually on her death bed. Her head was pounding, her body had been sucked bone dry of any hydration, and... well, thank God he was over here to the rescue. “You’re a godsend, Rafa. Are you sure you don’t have my tramp stamp of a pair of wings hidden under that cut?” The brunette teased as she hopped onto the kitchen island, tucking her legs beneath her. Now that the room was a bit more dim, Jackie could toss back the pills without needing to squint, swallowing whole before guzzling down another gulp of caffeine. She glossed over lips with her tongue afterwards when his little trip down memory lane sparked a smirk. “Oh, I remember. It was my Daddy’s bathtub." She chuckled. “I liked to think you had some fun in it but... well, I’m pretty sure you had fun all by yourself.”
NIKKI SANDERS.
She would’ve recognized that voice anywhere. Not because she deemed Jackie Devine special (god, she hated the thought of that) but because the last time they were face to face, Nikki got a worthy opponent, if not a stronger one – altogether with a seriously painful black eye that took a little too long to heal. It made her weary of the other girl for a reason, but her pride was still too huge to let go. ‘’I’m sorry–’’ She started off, turning to her side to look at Jackie. ‘’Did I fuckin’ speak to you?’’
Typically, Jackie knew better than to play into this game. There were far better things she could be doing rather than standing here in the middle of some public place about to bicker with a blonde she couldn’t stand — but was that going to stop her from doing so? Of course not. Jackie simply couldn’t resist even if it wasn’t going to earn her some backlash. “You might as well been. I mean, you talk loud enough to be addressing every single person in this room.” Jackie emphasized by making a gawking motion with her fingers, like Nikki was gabbing everyone’s ear off. “Don’t you ever get tired of hearing your own voice?”
ASHLEY HENNESSEY.
“ Oof. ” It was all she could say. Her wild partying days were long behind her but she seemed to remember, clear as day, waking up and going to school still very much hungover while chugging the full bottle of Pedialyte in homeroom like it was water and she had just walked out of the desert. The waitress poured Ashley her own cup of coffee and she proceeded to drop spoonful after spoonful of sugar into it. “ You ever tried a bacon, egg, & cheese on a toasted Italian sub? It’s probably the least healthiest thing in the world but it used to wipe out my hangovers in a hot second. ” It also gave her heartburn to the upteenth degree but that was neither here nor there.
"I’ve had the bacon, egg and cheese on a muffin... but Italian sub? No. My Nana would be smacking me in the back of the head right now if she heard me though. How un-Italian of me.” With both Greek and Italian blood in her, it was safe to say that Jackie had a big stomach and a taste for the finer foods, which typically prompted a good amount of hangover foods. Jackie licked her lips and adjusted her weight on the stool. “Is that up for grabs at this place or what?”
CLERE PARKS.
Most of the Sinners’ associates, and those within the club, well, they could be a little too much for Clere to deal with. At least, right now. Granted, she was doing her best to become more accustomed to the ways in which they operated, and that had mainly been established through the budding friendship with the half-dressed daughter of one of the main men herself. “Well, glad to see you’ve returned to the land of the living, even if you’re still feeling sorry for yourself, Devines.” A smirk followed suit, enjoying the company of her now awoken companion. “Was getting pretty borin’ done here without you. Hense the coffee.” She pointed out, nudging her head in that direction as Jackie proceeded to pick the pot up, no doubt requiring a little caffeine herself. “About half an hour ago. Door was open, as per. You really gotta stop doing that,” she began, head turning towards that of the front door, “anyone can get in here, Jacks.” And there it was, the protective instincts kicking in.
"Insult me, then compliment me. Your mind works in mysterious ways, Clere.” It was all in good fun, she knew. Clere should just be the first person to understand that the lack of sleep and the presence of a nasty hangover was enough to put the moody princess in a snippy mood — much more than the typical rhetorical barks she would howl out when someone bugged her sober. Jackie eventually found peace when she relocated to her comfy couch with a mug in hand and stretched a pair of pair legs over the ottoman, Mason’s Desert Land Original tee large enough to reach just below her cheeks. “I wouldn’t call this the land of the living but—, it’s close.” Jackie trailed off when she guzzled down a much needed surge of coffee. “I would pay anyone that actually dared to cross Jameson’s threshold without permission.” It was her’s, and in return, her father’s claim. “Mason was here last night anyway. He probably just slipped out the garage before locking the front.” Another sip, or chug, of her coffee came afterwards. “Where did you disappear to yesterday?”
RYAN HUNT.
He couldn’t help but feel a little pity for the woman, having been in her shoes one too many times in the last few years. Ryan was never a drinker; growing up, he wasn’t the type to hang out under the bleachers with other high schoolers, getting drunk on cheap booze stolen from their parent’s liquor cabinets. When he got into the police academy, he was too focused on doing a good job and proving himself to party like some of the other cadets. But being part of a biker club meant late nights and a lot of alcohol. Slowly but surely, he was becoming more and more accustomed to heavy drinking; which wasn’t something he was too proud of. At her question, he tilted his head to the side, examining her for a moment. “Mm, I don’t think so,” he answered. God, he hoped not. “You know, I have a hangover cure that I bet will work for you.” he quickly added in an attempt to change the subject.
Jackie was naturally suspicious of anyone who crossed her path. Even if there wasn’t any grounds for her to stick her nose up to someone, it took a lot for her to settle and find an ounce of sincerity in someone before she let the excuse fly. He seemed pretty cool and collected when she asked, though, which temporary fooled the Sinner’s princess for now. “You probably have that face. You know, the same old same old one?” Her head cocked to the side, smirking by that point. “Yeah? Please do not start off by saying this is some magical concoction you whipped together in the seventh grade science fair.”
MASON KANE.
Feeling her touch on his shoulder, the biker turned slowly to face her. Mason took in Jackie’s beauty and let himself be calmed and soothed by it for a moment before he was dipping down to wrap an arm around her lift her. He carried the petite club princess to the master bathroom in her place and set her down in front of the counter. A rich, gloomy sapphire gaze bore into her emerald gems as he started the motions of undressing her. She knew the ins and outs for the most part when it came to the club and the things they got into, what they had to do at times. “Get undressed,” his gruff command was spoken quietly, “get in the shower with me.” Mason made quick work of pull and pushing off his own clothing and stepping into the shower to heat up the water. The burn of the cold water felt good against him for a moment, but as soon as Jackie stepped in the ruffian took her arm and pulled her against him. He kissed her hard and for a long few moments, an action that before the spring was a rarity. “I buried a kid today,” he mumbled against her mouth then lifted his eye lids to meet her gaze once more, “he was nineteen, twenty maybe… still just a kid.” Mason knew what the young prospects had to do, he had no problem with it, but every now and then something took him back and reminded him of his brother.
She was someone’s rock; a confidant, so to speak, so Jackie didn’t press too much when the time didn’t call for it when Mason began the process of getting them to where he wanted to be. This had almost as become somewhat of a routine --- he ventured into her home looking for a distraction, and for once, that was done in a more creative intimate touch that didn’t start with a roll around satin sheets. Jackie left the dry goods in the grocery back when she approached him and didn’t think twice when his grip on her tightened, opting to return them to the master bedroom and grant even more privacy from her spacious desert home. A second ticked past and Jackie simply nodded in reply, allowing the man to shed from his barriers and get into the shower before she followed as instructed, baring to each other both in nudity and the raw emotion. Jackie reveled in the fact that not many had seen Mason this way, but then again, not very many could knock themselves down with him, willing to offer themselves up as a means to make sure he knew he was well and alive. Soon enough, Jackie had joined the biker bare and exposed beneath the warming flow of a rain shower, body slipped up against Mason’s and soon silenced by the kiss. A head full of brown hair was only half wet by the time that he had tugged her close and kissed her. Her body’s response was immediately to moan into his mouth, unable to help it even with the circumstances, though her hands had moved to his sides while ghosting up his rib cage to approach his shoulders. His mouth still hovered over her own as he spoke, even when he pulled back to speak, and the immediate instinct was to bring one hand up the middle of his back to press closer, while the other reached up to comb back damp locks from his forehead. “It’s the brother thing, isn’t it?” Jackie whispered, her nose moving over his before she moved to kiss at his jaw. “What can I do? How do I help?”

NATHANIEL GRANT.
As he went back to grab the bottle of vodka for the next drink he was making, he heard the shatter of glass that made him turn right around. “Move, move,” he gestured to the customer who had just broken one of his glasses. Not that it didn’t happen often; it happened more often than he cared to admit but he also didn’t get paid to babysit a bunch of drunks. Nate turned to Jackie as he bent down to pick up the broom next to the wall behind the bar. He signed and turned his head, purposely elbowing the culprit of the broken shotglass in the shoulder, maybe that would get the point across that Nate was annoyed. “This is ridiculous,” he rolled his eyes as he heard the guy whining about his shoulder. “Oh come on, it doesn’t even hurt,” he said loudly as he shook his head. He had a respect for Jackie, knowing who she was and her status to the Sinners. “Do you want another one? I hope he didn’t get any glass on you,” he said.
The sound of shattered glass filled her ears and the brunette peeked up, fighting the urge to just roll her eyes at the entire scenario. It wasn’t usual for a bar, no, but this guy was far too messy for her liking. “I think it’s almost time this guy takes a walk, don’t ya think?” She was more than annoyed at that point and she hadn’t even been the bartender that was dealing with the guy. She left that up to Nate, but at this point, she was considering grabbing onto the man’s collar herself. “I won’t say no to another one...” She shrugged. “But if he got glass on me, what would you do? Because I think he did...” She smirked a bit.
CYRUS STEELE.
Cyrus was no stranger to late nights that stretched unforgivingly into early mornings, nor was he unfamiliar with the general distaste for the world on the day that followed. It was a time better to be left alone, but he also knew opportunities in this world were rare, and it was best to take them when they were before you, ideal circumstances or not. His run-ins with the woman he’d taken to calling the Sinner princess — a nickname he would sure would earn him a bullet somewhere painful, if not lethal, if he let it pass his lips — had been limited, and he felt it was past due for a proper introduction. He made a quick order for his own coffee before switching to the seat nearest to Jackie. At her warning, he barely bit back a good-natured chuckle. “I come in peace,” he offered, placing the glass on the counter and holding both hands up in a brief gesture of surrender, distinctly lowering his voice as he pressed on. “And promise to remain at a reasonable decibel level.” Cyrus took a sip from his own mug — as far as diner coffee went, it wasn’t half bad. “I learned this hangover cure from a bartender in San Juan — the man must’ve been pushing 80, said he’d been serving drinks since he was 15. Half a glass of beer, pour in tomato juice, little lime, salt and pepper and a bit of hot sauce. Not harm there, it’s just a michelada — but that part he swore by was adding in a raw egg.” He said with a shrug. “Not for the faint of heart.” Then, studying the other for just a moment, he narrowed his eyes. “But you don’t strike me as the faint of heart type.”
"A raw egg?” She was pretty quick to repeat his words since the thought alone made her stomach want to revolt against her. Harsh sights, queasy smells... everything under the blue moon would hit her like a ton of bricks at that point. If she hadn’t known any better, she would have considered the possibility of being pregnant, but alas. “I don’t even want to know what the hell possessed him to try that thing. I think I might need to chug if that was actually a thing.” Her nose curled up and in return, Jackie crossed her legs and adjusted her weight to face more toward the man. He came in peace, the least she could do was pay attention to him without biting his head off for offering up some sound (yet questionable) advice. Holding up her own mug of half filled coffee with just a dash of creamer, she used that as a signal that she was sticking to what she knew well. “What makes you say that?” She quirked a brow. “It’s the resting bitch face, isn’t it?”
RYAN HUNT.
Hand offs were always sketchy to Ryan; trying to pass notes with his team behind the scenes by leaving something behind in a folded up newspaper or in a thrown out take out bag. If they didn’t coordinate the exchange perfectly, anyone else could come by the message and everything could be ruined. Which is why Ryan insisted all drops be done at a location he had never visited before, hoping it would lower the possibility of knowing anyone in the establishment. He walked into the diner and immediately moved to a predetermine seat, pulling the stool out for him to sit down and wait. It wasn’t his fault the stool against the tile was loud. Not that it mattered to the woman beside him. “A little too much fun last night?” He asked in a teasing tone, picking up the menu already sitting in front of him.
"You could say that again.” Well, at least he was humorous about it. Her instant bark could warrant a nibble or a scurry but this was neither or, which was much to Jackie’s relief. She wasn’t in the mood to bicker with someone, surprising, and opted more to just guzzle down as much caffeine as she could to try and zap the headache before it rocked her world completely. Jackie pulled the mug toward her and did just that before she was side glancing at the male beside her, one who looked increasingly familiar. “Do I know you?”
CLERE PARKS.
Clere had swung by, arriving at the Devine residence about an hour ago. However, knowing just what was going on last night, and how her friend would be feeling this morning? Well, she figured she’d allow her to catch some more Z’s, or at least resting upstairs, and instead would await her entrance to the world downstairs. Not to mention the fresh pot of coffee she had brewed all of about ten minutes ago, as she sat in the other room, but upon hearing some shuffling feet coming downstairs, it looked like Jackie was no longer a slave to slumber, and had since arisen. Making her way into the kitchen, she too slid onto one of the available chairs, taking a seat, coffee in hand. “So, were you dead to the world, or were you just feeling sorry for yourself up there?” Aka, was she asleep, or was she wallowing in her self-inflicted state? “You look like shit, by the way. But the shirt’s cute, at least.”
"You..." Jackie trailed off with a palm pressed against her temple, hoping the pressure she applied to the throbbing would do something for it. “and your technical terms... can’t it be both? Dead to the world and I’m sorry about it. It would be a shame to lose me, y’know.” She was just happy to see there was a fresh pot brewed on the counter waiting for her and she didn’t have to waste time in trying to tinker around the kitchen with a killer headache. At Clere’s quip, the Sinner princess had narrowed her eyes in. “Wow. Fuck off.” She still laughed it off though, knowing she would return that sentiment later, instead slipping from the ground to sit on the kitchen island and fold her bare legs up underneath her, grabbing the entire pot. “When did you get here?”
