Xena looks at RJ and says, "I know how you two operate. I know your game."

"What do you mean?" RJ asks

"You two are rich, spoiled, entitled brothers living off inheritances from your parents. Cyrus is trying to live off some crazy dream, and you're tagging along to save face with him." Xena says.

"How do you know this?" JR asks.

Xena walks up to him and says, "When I yanked your brother off my bike, he screamed like a girl."

"That doesn't mean anything," RJ says seriously.

"Both his and your tattoos don't scream the rough and tough biker types," Xena says.

"That's not true!" RJ says seriously.

"She's right," Gabrielle says, giggling a little. "You have a tattoo of a kitten on your arm."

RJ looks at the tattoo, pulls his sleeve down, and says, "So I like kittens."

"You're a college kid," Xena says, smirking. What college do you go to?"

"Stanford. I major in business and finance," RJ says. He suddenly realizes that Xena and Gabrielle tricked him.

"Another thing we noticed is your crew didn't fight me when I yanked Cyrus off my bike," Xena says. "Gabrielle and I have fought warlords, pirates, armies, mythical creatures, demons, anything and everything you can think of. They didn't come to Cyrus's aide; they just stood there, not knowing what to say or do! A real biker gang would have fought me to the death if I even laid a finger on their leader."

"They were just shocked by what happened," RJ says. "You're fast at what you do!"

"So, your brother talked your dad's riding crew into acting like an actual biker gang," Gabrielle says, smirking. "If that's his actual name."

"Ok!" RJ says. "Benard talked my dad's crew into acting like a rough biker gang so he can scope out and collect random bikes through the country. He has around three hundred. He has the bikes stored in a huge warehouse just outside Scottsdale, where he has a UTube channel showing off each bike. He pays real bikers to strong-arm people into giving him their bikes. Then he shows them off as his own on his channel claiming them as his own. He doesn't even know that I know about what he's doing. He would either disown or kill me."

"Benard!?" Gabrielle says, giggling. "His name is Benard!! That's too funny! Benard!"

"My brother's full name is Benard Cyrus Clay," RJ says.

"So he has actual bikers beat people up to get that person's bike. He doesn't even offer them money; he just takes them?" Xena asks

"Yeah," RJ says

Xena paces back and forth, then asks, "That's grand larceny."

"Really," RJ says, a little shocked.

"Yeah, it is," Xena asks. "I mean, what he's doing is a felony. He could spend a lot of time in prison for what he's doing, maybe the rest of his life."

RJ realizes what Xena is telling him and says, "I never even thought of it that way."

"Plus the fact that you know about this, makes you an accomplice," Xena says. "Does any of your dad's crew know about this?"

"No, not that I know of," RJ says.

Xena and Gabrielle look at each other seriously, and Xena says to RJ, "Ok, this is what we're going to do. Catch up to your brother and tell Cyrus, I mean, Benard, that we want to meet him alone and talk about the bike. Give us a few hours. If he comes alone, then we know he won't have any backup."

"And what if he does?" Gabrielle asks.

"Then we'll settle it, right there," Xena says.

"There goes our romantic day together," Gabrielle says, unamused.

Xena gently rubs Gabrielle's shoulder and says, "Hey, I promise, we'll have our day," Xena says to Gabrielle privately. "First, I want you to see if McBain or Shaw is available. Fill them in on what's going on and see if either one of them can join us or help us out on this. I think we may be on to something big here. I don't want some jackass loser getting a hold of her bike. It means way to much to me."

Gabrielle smiles at Xena tenderly and says, "Even after all these years, I can see that the memories of her lives inside you."

"Always have, always will!" Xena says smiling tenderly as they look at the bike.
