Varius was clinging to the controls of the aircab. “Keep it steady… don’t look suspicious.” But the picture in the rear view monitor was clear. That other car was on his tail. He had tried to shake it by going here and there, taking several unexpected turns but it had remained around him. Spirits! He didn’t want to go to jail again and he sure as the void wouldn’t.
The turian was pretty sure that was no C-sec car though. They usually weren’t that clever and they were more offensive with flashing lights and all the jazz. If this was some hostile gang, his ass was on the line for real. Solokhov had told him to move his ass off the Citadel but there was this girl and he couldn’t and… not so quickly, he needed time. Fucking more time. And now he had a shadow and looked like a noob of a gangster.
“Fuck this shit”. He pressed override to disable all the traffic control assistance systems and took a steep dive, going recklessly through another line of traffic and taking a sharp left which would lead him to the upper Wards, towards the Presidium. He was a good driver, he could shake that idiot, whoever it was.

Meanwhile at the other end of the chase, Artacus was calm, collected, determined to catch up to his mark. He managed to keep his distance from his target, trying to not look suspicious at all, although it was already suspicious of him to be following him the entire time. In just a mere moment, the other skycar swung through the lane of traffic, signalling the chase. "Well... time to catch up." He told himself, punching everything to overdrive and speeds toward the other skycar.
This Varius was a good flyer.. managing to break Artacus off his trail. Almost. The turian increased his speed of the vehicle he was in, keeping on Varius' tail like it was glued to him. Artacus took a quick glance by his side, eyeing what was in his skycar. Propped up under the compartments was a shotgun, incase things get hairy when on the ground. He still had his sidearm on him, which he'd never part without, and knife under his jacket.
Both of them tossed and turned in their skycars, but Artacus was getting more closer by the second it seemed.

Varius leaned forward, but always had an eye on the rear view monitor. It had almost worked, but not quite, the other guy had accepted his chase. The turian grinned deviosuly, trusting in his abilities to outwit whoever it was.
With breakneck speed he cut a corner and turned between two towers, changing flight level again. He was getting lower and tried to lose his pursuer between the buildings, cutting left and right. For a moment Various thought it had worked.
Just when he barely missed a sign for a hotel, the bottom of his skycar scraping over the top of it “Spirits...!” An alarm sounded and Varius switched it off... had he lost his shadow? He calmed his breath and was flowing along with the other traffic, trying to blend in.

Artacus was rather impressed by how hard his target tried to get him off his trail. He weaved left and right through the lanes of traffic, although not directly behind him he still had him in view. When his target flew through the two towers, Artacus did so as well. As he was just about to hit the hotel sign and pulled the joystick up and sky rocketed over the sign, while Varius almost collided with the hotel sign. "You're persistent.." He thought as he watched over head as the skycar blended into the traffic. He recognized the detail and look of the targets skycar, so he didn't need to be close to know if it was him or not. He flew silently at the back of the traffic lane, blending in as well as he kept his distance.

The turian at the controls of the skycab grinned smugly, mandibles fluttering in excitement. He had outwitted his opponent. “Who’s the best driver on the Citadel? This bastard here is!” Solokhov should give him more work driving get-away cars or something. That guy had been better than C-sec and he had lost him. He should get a raise too so he could buy his girl the jewelry they had looked at the other day.
Varius was relaxing in the seat and drifted towards the connection to the Presidium with the rest of the traffic. Actually, he didn’t have business on the Presidium. Why should he go the…. Oh spirits! He noticed that familiar car two cars behind him! He had a slight panic attack. It couldn’t be that car. But it was.
His brain short circuited and he hit the gas in an instant, banking to the right and barely made the exit for the Presidium. Around him cars were honking and lights were flashing…
A crunching sound accompanied by a screech and honking indicated that some poor idiot had crashed their car into a wall, trying to avoid being hit by him. Varius’ eyes were wide, he didn’t dare to blink as he moved through the wrong lane, oncoming traffic going left and right like mad. Then he yanked the car up and to the left in sharp turn, switching into a fast lane on the presidium. Now where was his pursuer, he tried to make him out in the rear view monitor.

Artacus watched from a distance, seeing his target fly like a maniac away from the traffic. "What the hell is he thinking?" He muttered to himself, sighing deeply. He watched as a skycar crashed with a heavy *boom* Artacus decided to pick up the pace, putting the skycar in full throttle and chasing after the target. The turian grabbed his pistol from his waist and looks out the window, still keeping a keen eye on Varius as he is still zooming past the crowd. "You better stop sooner or later." He mutters, edging only a bit closer to the skycar he is chasing.

Spirtis, they were still there! The panic grew thick in Varius now. And just at the moment, when he barely avoided another collision, swerving left and right, all sorts of warning lights came on! It seemed as if that junk of a skycab was giving up on him! Maybe that hit on the sign earlier had damaged something serious, he had no idea, but it was clear that he could not keep up the speed, no matter how many times he pressed the boost button. The steering started to feel sluggish and he dived into an open zone beneath the traffic line. That was not allowed but he didn't care. He needed to get out of this trap and fast....
There was a ledge on the left coming up, it looked like a car park or a dealership of sorts. Great, if he was lucky he could even grab a brand new car and get away, he just needed to get to another ward and he would find a hideout. Just a little bit more time...
With a screech and a thud the dam,aged and banged up skycab skidded over the platform of Cission Motors, coming to a rest when it hit an info console. Smoke was rising from the engine department and from the cabin exited a turian with a gun in his hand!
Varius looked around then he sprinted for one of the brand new cars parked at the edge of the platform...

Druss would be having a nap in the security booth during this, now being suddenly waken by the sound of metal screeching on metal as the skycar comes to a halt. Believing it to be a crashed driver, she wouldn't bother to take her gun with her once recovering from the sudden shock. Druss would run across the lot to the car, taking several lengthy seconds to do so as volus legs are . . . well, volus legs. If it wasn't on fire she'd try to look inside, perhaps opening the door, having no clue as to who would be inside the vehicle or to his intentions.

Artacus watched as the target landed on the motor pad, smirking. "Guess now's the time." He replied as he put his skycar in full throttle, heading toward the landing pad. As soon as the skycar lands, the grips his sidearm firmly and bursts out the drivers seat door, planting his feet on the ground as he stares at Varius in the distance. He then pushes his back leg onto the ground, taking off in a spring. "You either stop or i'll make you stop!" He yelled as he ran toward Varius.

Varius saw the other aircab land over his shoulder as he jumped towards the parked cars. And there was a fat volus creeping around too. He didn't want to involve civilians into this but he sure would not hesitate to step on them to safe his own skin. He crouched and slid to a halt behind the fender of one of the luxury models.
There was another turian coming from that car, one he never had seen before. Yeah sure, I give up. My ass! He gritted his teeth and fired a couple of pot shots in their general direction, trying to keep cover. If he could get to the next car, he'd be off before anyone could do anything.
