The Scarman Enigma

[|Scarecrow|]

As Seras Victoria brought the bulky truck lurching around yet another dimly lit street corner, Lucas communicator began to chime. He pressed the receiver on his earpiece and listened intently. The voice of Fleet Admiral Merlow crackled over the channel, he sounded as if he were being thrown around inside a wind tunnel.
Admiral Anderson, what is youre current location?
Lucas quickly checked the trucks navigation console, Somewhere off Eastern Boulevard, heading for the city centre.
Roger that, Merlows voice replied, We have a positive location on Jadyns hideout. You are to proceed to the Starwood Hotel, downtown. I repeat; the Starwood Hotel, downtown.
Roger that, Lucas turned to Seras and mouthed Starwood Hotel, Sir, what is youre current location, where is Admiral Scarman?
Marcus is with me, Merlow replied, Were currently making planetfall, well be at Starwood in just under three minutes.
Well be there shortly; Manning and Greer are already ahead of us, chasing Sayne.
Confirmed, Merlows voice began to crackle and fade, Be quick Lucas, were gonna need all the help we can get.
With that, Merlow cut the channel, leaving Lucas to his thoughts.
We can make it to the Starwood Hotel in just less than ten minutes from here, Seras Victoria said as she plotted a course on the trucks navigation system. Manning and Greer will make it ahead of us, I only hope they manage to stop Jadyn, or at least slow him down.
Indeed, Lucas nodded. He couldnt help but feel slightly useless as their slow moving freighter trundled along the cracked concrete of the cities streets.

Kurt weaved between two more aircars as he pressed on with his pursuit of Sayne. Jadyn was a skilled biker it seemed, and had almost given him the slip several times already. Air screamed past him as he opened his jetbikes throttle and tore after his target. Sayne was still just a blur in the distance however as the two jinked between the slower moving traffic. Kurt cursed as he forced his jetbike beneath a large freight carrier. The freighters driver slammed his fist on his vehicles horn and made a rude gesture.
Manning, can you hear me? Miyu Greers voice sounded over his earpiece.
Yeah I can hear you, He shouted back. Ive still got Jadyn in my sights, barely.
Understood, Ive got intel on his hideout, Greer replied, Hell most likely be heading for the Starwood Hotel, thats where the rest of the Black Flag Corsairs are.
Right, you break off and head for the hotel, Ill keep on his back so his attention will hopefully be focused on me.
Roger that, Greer cut the link, leaving Manning alone with the whistling air streaming past his head.
Now I just have to keep up with him, he thought bitterly as he gunned his engine in an attempt to gain more speed.
