[Sodium_noir] RE Race to Darktown

[Spikey]

Tellos, Police
Dhampir, Mortals Possibly ghouled.
En route to Darktown.

Seemed like he'd lostthe original cop at first as she sped through Uptown and headed towards Neon city. He could see no blues and reds in the mirror or over his shoulder. Maybe he'd got lucky.

Then he sees them come out of a side turning just behind him. Definatly the same car. Figures they would have taken another street and tried to get ahead of him, maybe figuring if he had been seen in downtown earlier he mighthead back that way. 

Still, he still had the lead and the roads were clear. Neon City flashed by in a violent stream of colours. Now the race really was on!

Tellos was pushing the bike and himself as far as he dared, taking only calculated risks but having to take them to stay ahead none the less. The Cop car wasn't in the best of repair, another victim of Gotham's seemingly city wide entropy. The tires didn't like the rain and one sharp corner even sent the car skidding into a chain link fence around a basket ball court. 

That gave Tellos some lead and probally made all the difference.

Through streets full of holes and past windows as forlorn as the faces that peered out of them he roared towards Darktown. One loose manhole cover nearly ended it all for him and he had a heart stopping moment of terror as he nearly lost the thing and threw his bike down the road. A few moments of tabk slapping that his knees would hate him for tomorrow and he had it back under control.

the Cops were gaining on him. Worse still, a second car joined the cahse after doing a screaming 180 in the middle of the highway.

But Darktown came into view. The Ghetto that gave other Ghetto's a bad name. Tellos could see the blue and reds reflecting in his petrol tank, half blindinghim and makinghim feel fenced in.

Darktown's outter limites sped by. Trainers hug from the wires above him. Gang tags on the walls beside him. Shutered shops and burnt out cars everywhere he looked. 

Then the lights in his eyes dimmed. the Cops fell back and the sirens wound down in that pathetic way that sounded like a Dog dying of strangulation.

The Cops left off the chase when he hit Darktown. When he hit the territory of the Voodoo Posse!
