Steph pressed the answer key. "Hi Belle." She said calmly. "yeah ok, I will be there in 5 minutes. Ciao." She hung up and turned to Ric. "Well I guess my cover is about to be blown big time. That was Belle. Apparently Johnny's gang had picked a fight outside the Diner with another gang who was passing through and it had escalated. The police were trying to calm it down but with no success. I've got to get down there. Im the only one who can stop this safely." Steph hurried out of the room to get changed. 15 minutes later she was ready. She had managed to convince Ric to dress like her and what he wore made him look terrifying! He wore leather pants, boots, studded belt, black long sleeved shirt with red studded vest, dog collar, his eyes were lined with eyeliner, he wore several chains around his waist as well as his watch and a few studded bracelets. "Are you sure I should be wearing all this? I look like a freak!" Ric said alarmed when he saw his reflection while heading out the door. "Don't worry. Its so no-one will recognise you." Steph said quietly. She shut the door to the garage, and they headed to where the CCX was parked. They got in and Steph started the engine and roared out of the garage and down the street. She left the silencer on because she didn't want to be seen until the last moment. Steph parked the car a block away so as not to attract attention and they walked from there, keeping to the shadows. When they got there, Steph and Ric stood at the back of the Diner listening to the noise. Steph whispered something to Ric and they quietly made their way into the Diner via the back door. What they saw in there was half of Summer Bay huddled together in a corner with a makeshift fortress of tables and chairs barricading them in. When they walked in, there were a few screams but Steph held up a hand and the screams quickly died. She then addressed the group.
"Look. What is going on here is full scale gang warfare. I need you all to remain calm if I am to diffuse the situation successfully. Ric will stay with you and yes it is I, Stephayni De Walscott. What I am dressed in is my uniform. I control all the gangs in NSW, their activities, members, vehicles, the lot. What im not responsible for however is any killings of people, robberies etc as that is all the planning and responsibility of the gang/s involved at the time. Now if you will all shut up I can get out there and diffuse the situation without any bloodshed. Do not make a sound, whatever you hear or see. That is for your own good. Anyone who moves will have to be knocked unconscious. I don't want anyone hurt and that is exactly what is going to happen if you try and escape. Im sorry to do this to all of you but it is in your best interest." With that, she turned smartly and headed outside.
Once outside, she quickly sized up the situation. She leaned in and spoke quietly to the gang member closest to her. "do not turn around whatever you do. Look straight ahead and speak quietly. whats the go?" she said. "Johnny's gang was picked on by our boys for what seemed no reason at all. Apparently Kurt was pissed that Johnny hadn't paid him what he was owed from that big job last month. Since Johnny is in jail, Kurt thinks that his gang will know where it is." The man said. "Thanks" Steph said quietly and slipped away. She ran to her car quietly, started it, reversed out of the space with no lights on, screamed down the road, and switched the lights on and the silencer off so that the roar of the engine sounded above the noise of the fight. She also turned all her neons on as well as her strobes which created an impressive effect. One of her boys was armed with a walkie-talkie and through that she heard someone yell "The Queen's here! Who told her! Now we're all in shit." Since the fight was in the parking lot, Steph had no trouble alerting her boys who melted back into the shadows as she approached. The CCX looked every inch the mean machine it was. The engine whined, tyres squealed and the acrid smell of burnt rubber filled the air. No-one was expecting her so they were all frozen in shock, gang members and police alike. All they could do was stare as the car approached at high speed and executed a neat slide stop about 10 meters away. When Steph emerged, she had a very angry look on her face. All the gang members cowered in fear. Steph had earned many nicknames but the one that most gangs referred to was "Queen of Fear". She knew how to control the gangs, and she wielded a massive amount of power. She stepped out of the car and shut the door quietly, then locked it. She walked over to where the two gangs were standing, horrified that she had been called as each had hoped that she would not have been notified, but she had and they were all in dire trouble. After a moment or two, Stephayni spoke. "What is all this? Fighting in a public place? In front of residents?" she said in a dangerous voice. Kurt, a well built man of about sixteen spoke up. "we want our share. We wanted to do it peacefully but these tools didn't want to. They started it." He whined. "Kurt, you sound like a two year old who is fighting with another two year old over a biscuit". Steph said quietly. She turned to the police who were standing there dumbstruck. "Are you lot going to arrest them all or are you all going to stand there gaping?" she said annoyed. The police sprang into action, calling for squad cars and backup. Within 10 minutes, all the gang members were being put into squad cars and sent to the Police Station for questioning and charging.
