Gone Audi Five Thousand

[Jsc]

The door to the lot swung open and Sam came jaunting out. She was alone and looking for Trasker. The blond hustled down between the rows of vehicles, seemingly quite lost. She had to close her eyes and meditate for a moment in order to locate the rummaging operative.

"Ah. Got cha,"

She smirked and hustled through the cars. As she got closer to the thug's LUX another man was moving towards the vehicle. Apparently thugs came in pairs. Before she could say anything the male spun his head and pulled a firearm out from inside his coat. Sam ducked just in time as the concrete pillar above her head erupted into a blaster scar.

The next three blasts tore out the windows of the car she was hiding behind. Terrified, Sam had a gut feeling that this prick knew exactly what he was shooting for.

A good thing Samantha came out when she did, or he would probably be dead by now. The unmistakable sound of the blaster echoed in the underground parking lot, echoing loudly around them. Trasker snapped his head up and saw a figure quite close to the LUX, firing towards a pillar, which he could only imagine Samantha was hiding behind.

Not waiting to think, Trasker slid the key into the ignition of the LUX and the chip reader activated the engine with a growl, automatic lights blinking to life with the dark surroundings. Before the gunman had chance to bring his pistol around to match where his head was now looking in shock, Trasker had gunned the LUX forward and straight into the hostile, taking his legs out from under him onto the hood of the speeder.

Trasker braced himself as he swerved around, taking the LUX straight into the side of another, larger cruiser, catapulting the thug off into the framework with a crunch as debris and glass scattered over the floor.

Engine running, Trasker valuted himself out of the LUX and darted over to the gunman, landing a swift kick across his face, forcing his head back against the smashed cruiser, rendering him unconscious as the sidearm dropped to the floor.

"Samantha?"

Remembering to get his breath, Trasker span around and moved towards the broken pillar, hoping that she was here and in one peace.

Glass lay smashed all around her petite form. The nearby vehicle she was hiding behind made for one terrible blast shield. That guys pistol had nearly torn the thing in two. She stood up and looked really frazzled. Her face was ghost white and the debris all around here didn't help the image either.

"Hey..."

It was all she could manage as her eyes turned towards the cratered thug.

"Oh. ...Thanks. I don't think he appreciated visitors."

Humor had a way of helping her overcome the shock. Slowly she pulled herself back into the present. Shaking her head and stammering, Walking away from the cars her shoes crackled on the crushed glass.

"I... I got into the office. Did you find anything down here? I mean."

(IC: Sorry for the late reply - thought I had already replied!)


Trasker moved beside her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders.

"Hey, are you alright? Good thing you came when you did or I'd be dead."

He helped guide her away from the smoking wreck of the speeders and mangled body, already starting to attract attention from passers-by.

"Here, look at this."

He handed her the cutting reporting the launch of the AUDI-BENZ 5000.

"It's the reason for all this interest in the expo. They, or whoever, are after the Audi-Benz. It's a heist; plain and simple. What did you find?"

A few shouts from the Expo staff behind them alerted Trasker to the fact they ought to now part from the arena.

"I think we've outstayed our welcome here - we better go. Come on."
