"What? Listen bosh'tet I ain't a tourist, I know the price of good Skag steak. Either you drop the price to 12 Docs for that slice or I go buy it from that stall i saw back on Federator St."
The stall vendor went to argue this point but the two were suddenly distracted by a commotion nearby. There was an alarm that had gone off nearby, causing them both to turn their heads towards the noise. Down the alley Arc saw a white haired girl cross through and rush off in another direction, followed a few seconds later by men shouting at civilians to apprehend her. Men in Tezron uniform.
The red haired young man forwned at this and sighed, before the vendor saw what happened he swiped the piece of grilled meat and popped it between his teeth. He puled out a two bills, a 10 and a 5, and threw it down on teh counter before leaving. 3docs more than he'd offered, 4 less than the vendor was asking for. He didn't pay much attention to what the man yelled after him as he dashed off, meat flopping in his mouth as he chewed half-mindedly.

A few minutes later the young man had made his way up to the roof of a building overlooking a dead-end alley-way. True to expectation there was the girl, backed into a corner, with three Tezron operatives moving in on her, two were cautiusly stepping forwards to try and capture her while the third hung back a ways, tapping into his earcomm and calling for back up. The youth sighed and smiled, pulling out a small metal sphere from his satchel. "Welp, time to play hero."

Two forms came bursting out of the thing haze of purple smoke holding hands, Arc holding tightly onto the dog eared girl's hand as he led her past the unconscious agent his two comrades still coughing up a lung under his smoke screen. He turned sharply into a side street and led her off through a maze of twists and turns no one could follow them through until they had circled back around towards the stall where he'd first seen her get chased down. He poked his head out into the busier market alley first to check if the coast was clear, none of the agents had gotten a good look at him so there was less risk if he was spotted. Seeing that the coast was clear he dashed across the street and hopped onto a parked hover bike. The internal computer immediately detected his ID bracelet's proximity to the handle and ignited the engine, lifting him off the ground a foot or so.
he spun the vehicle back into the side passage where the girl was waiting and pulled up next to her. "Come on, get on, I'll take you to a different part of the city. Tezron's got too many eyes in this sector."
