A tall gentleman, dark-skinned with a rough beard and short dreads, dressed in a Promise security officer’s uniform, scanned the immediate area before him. He pressed the button on his communications earpiece and spoke.

“This is Radvi. Patrol unit 15 has arrived at last known location of subject, over.”

“Copy, any visual?” Came from an officer on the other end of the line.

A team of five Promise security officers had mobilized towards the shopping district that Freaky-D had headed to mere minutes after the debacle at the school. A piece of the station cut out for recreation and capitalism, with stores and food courts spread over multiple floors, all going on for a decent stretch.

The officers were all on separate vehicles - very advanced, almost ATV-looking, sleek build with two front wheels and a single back one. Designed for easy maneuvering through high-traffic areas.

“Negative…” Officer Radvi replied, “No sign of him.”

“He’s got a giant head that’s as red as a stop sign, he shouldn’t be hard to spot!” The other officer responded.

“Well we don’t-”

“What the fuck is [i]that[/i]?” One of the other officers in the patrol unit said aloud. They all looked around as the sound of song quickly became louder, as if approaching. Once it was loud enough to be right next to them, sailing over their heads went Freaky-D from the next floor up, now strapped into a pair of roller skates with bright red wheels. He went flying off the top of an escalator with downright [i]absurd speed[/i], landing nigh-perfectly and continuing his escape.

“We have visual, in pursuit!” Radvi yelled. He and the four other officers immediately began chasing after D on their vehicles. How he was able to reach that kind of speed on roller skates, they had no idea. But they were quickly catching up to him.

Up ahead was a ramp leading upwards to the next floor of the district. Sloped to allow vehicles to access them. D was heading right for it, with no sign of slowing down. He wasn’t gonna be able to maintain his speed going uphill, absolutely not. Or so Radvi and the other officers had assumed.

Components on the sides of D’s skates activated, extending outward and jutting in the opposite direction he was heading. Red lights began emanating from within, quickly turning orange, and then much closer to yellow. A blast, and then D was accelerating up the ramp, almost lifting off of it completely once he reached the top. The boost gave him a bit more distance between himself and the officers.

“What!?” Radvi called out in disbelief, as he led the pursuit up the ramp, attempting to catch up to his target.

People wandering around the shopping district quickly moved out of the way as the chase continued through the second floor. He made for another ramp, once again activating the boost modules built into his skates. The next floor up, he drifted towards the railing. Once he was right up against it, he crouched and made a leap over the edge, the song he was playing having cut out. The officers hit the brakes on their vehicles as they caught up to where D had jumped off, Radvi immediately dismounting his to look over the edge. There he spotted D having landed on one of the connecting bridges running to the other side of the station ring, skating past the few people who happened to be crossing it at the time.

“Damn it!” Radvi called out, immediately returning to his vehicle. The officers rode back to the ramp they’d taken before, descended, turned around, and headed for the bridge. But in the short time it’d taken them to reroute themselves, D was nowhere to be seen.

“Hey!” Radvi called out to the closest civilian on the bridge, “Did you see where the man in the red helmet went?”

“He jumped off!” The woman replied, pointing behind her and towards the artificial wilderness below the bridge. Radvi ran forward and looked over the edge, as did two of the other officers, while the other two observed over the opposite side in the event their target had decided to switch direction.

“I don’t…” Radvi began, stopping halfway. He couldn’t even spot that bright red head through the thick brush below. It was as if D’d just up and vanished. Conceding to his moment of defeat, Radvi hit up the other officer with his earpiece again.

“This is Radvi. We lost him.”

“You [i]what[/i]?”

“He jumped into the brush. We can’t spot him from up here. We need to get a search going as soon as possible.”

“God damn it!”

The other officer cut the comms, leaving Radvi and the other four members of his team standing there with nothing to show for all their effort. He pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing, and then rearing his head back in disappointment.

[sub]“What the [i]fuck[/i]...”[/sub] He muttered to himself.
