It’s not often that things come full circle in Olympus -- Most tragedies are met with rumors, and unspoken truth, rather than actual, concrete proof of a beginning and an end. It begins with Allana Clarke, a walking mystery who arrived in Olympus like a summer breeze, stealing the hearts of every man that laid eyes on her. But through them all, she takes the hand of Maddox Hart, the two engaged with a child on the way, finding love despite the war that brews in the small, sleepy town. The two exist in a state of ‘bliss’ until a hard left turn finds them and she ends up in the hospital, bruised and beaten and now longer designing a baby nursery.
Her attack is two things: It’s a fair assumption that this was no isolated attack, that she wasn’t someone in the wrong time at the wrong place. This was blatant, leaving the people of Olympus looking over the shoulder, knowing this ‘cold’ war has heated up, taking anyone with a tie to the MCs with it. The second, is that two months after, once the physical wounds have healed and the stages of grief are being met -- A file arrives on Sheriff Henry Fisher’s desk, one that incriminates Richard Gardner, long time member of Primordial MC before he left to join the Trojans, pinning the crime on him. The emotion tied behind it, and the desire to end senseless violence caused by the MCs in town are what put Richard in handcuffs in record time. The people of Olympus can sleep a bit easier at night knowing that at least one of the people responsible for tearing this town apart has been brought to justice, even if the details don’t quite add up. What’s even more suspicious is Allana’s disappearance, bags packed and presence gone as if she was merely a ghost. It sparks gossip, questions of who she is, what happened, and where the name Milena Barton fits in.
The arrest, in the wake of the large shoot out at Primordial Auto Shop, proves to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back -- It’s the official ‘one too many’, something that’s now brought in the OPD into the mix, rather than town rumors and suspicion. Despite the violence that has always lived in Olympus, there’s never been concrete evidence of the MC involvement -- The van is empty, the tracks are covered, and no one will admit to anything. But then again, it was believed that Primordial MC would never fall apart in the way it has, either. The news catches the attention of Anya Teras, an ATF agent who’s had an eye on Olympus but no concrete way into the town. Until a file with the record of Richard Gardner’s arrest lands on her desk, her coworker giving her a wicked sort of smile.
This is what they’ve been waiting for.
