The ferari was less than half a block behind them, and holding the distance.
The vehicle with the Ramesar was about a block back, and was closing the
distance slowly.
"What interest would the Ramesar have in this?" she asked aloud. "They could
be following Marcus or us, depending on who the target is and why."
Matt frowned. "who knows what the Ramesar are interested in. But they're
rarely up to any good." Matt slowed the car, and then drifted to the shoulder,
slowly coming to a stop, watching to see what both Garibaldi and his followers
decided to do.
Both the Ferrari and the trailing vehicle made the turn.. The sudden turn
made the Ferrari driver a bit 'nervous' and he slowed down. This forced the
other vehicle to slow. for now.
"A Sig blaster and my extendable sword. You?"
"I have a personal hand phaser in my pants pocket." She chose not to carry a
Starfleet issue weapon because using one on Bajor could spark the wrong
questions about whether they were here on 'Fleet business. Besides, the one
she had could go from a mild stun to a fairly effective explosive if
overloaded. The dealer called it, "The Swiss Army Knife" of phasers. After
testing its many features (except the self-destruct), she concluded it fit the
need.
"Of course," she continued, with irony, "They could just be sight-seers
themselves. Just like we are."
"Ramesar are well known for their appreciation of the sights," Matt added
drily.
"If they are interested in us, they could be a problem. Intel reports
indicated that a military unit of true Ramesar chose to become mercenaries
rather than face censure."
After 30 seconds of the new speed the third vehicle made a move. Matt an
Carrhae heard the engine strain and could see the vehicle accelerate. Try as
it might it just could not get past the Ferrari, better with the acceleration
it was. They traded lanes with one trying to pass and other block.
Since their vehicle had stopped, Carrhae opened her passenger door and slipped
out. Her left hand (ooc: ever noticed all my pcs are lefties?) went into her
pants pocket as she turned towards the approaching vehicles. If the Ramesars
stopped, she did not want to be confined to the limited space inside the car.
The trailing car tapped the Ferrari causing it to spin and hit curb. Once
free of the blocking sports car, it sped up and passed it. As it came up on to
Carrhae and Matt, a small round object from the car. A moment later there was
a blinding flash of light, a disorientating blast, and lots of smoke- a flash
grenade....

By the time that everyone recovered, the vehicle was gone.
