Leon followed after her, trying not to show the fact that he was panicking. After all, he had never done something this reckless before.
The street was slowly becoming more populated by vehicles as they went on. Ray was swerving between cars and motorcycles, all the while picking up speed. She constantly glanced back to make sure that Leon was still following her. He was actually managing to keep up with her pace. She was thanking God that the speed limit wasn't very fast, and that the stop light was now red.
They swerved around more cars that were now waiting for the light to turn green again, which made this much easier. Ray quickly glanced back and noticed that the black car was forced to slow down. However, the window soon rolled down, and a man held out a pistol, aiming towards the two of them.
Ray halted so that Leon would catch up. The second he reached her, she grabbed his wrist.
"Come on!" she shouted as she pulled him to the side, heading down a different street. The pistol was fired, but the bullet missed both targets, hitting the side of a building instead.
Ray and Leon were now skating down a back road after turning quite a few corners. Eventually she released his wrist, allowing him to glide down the abandoned street next to her. Both of them were wearing a smile.
"I can't believe it," said Leon.
"Can't believe what?" questioned Ray, slowing her pace.
"We actually got away. For a second there, I wasn't sure if we'd make it." Ray just smirked as she turned her attention back to the empty street in front of her. This was an unpopulated back road that would eventually lead to the park. From there she'd be able to reach her Geno and get out of the city. The last thing she needed was to get captured by her enemies.
They continued on in silence for a while, but the screeching of tires soon shattered their serenity. Both of them stopped dead in their tracks. Ray began looking around. There were tons of alleyways that connected to the main streets, and they were all wide enough for a normal sized car to fit through. As luck would have it, the black car sped out of one a good distance in front of them, spinning to a stop.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" shouted Ray out of pure frustration. These guys obviously didn't know when or even how to give up.
"What now?" asked Leon, once again fearing for his life. Ray glanced around, spotting a nearby alleyway.
"Come on!" she said, grabbing his arm and pulling him down the dark alley. As expected, the car began to follow, the screeching of its wheels being the evidence. They sped down the alleyway, taking whatever turn Ray decided on. Leon followed closely behind her, having to push himself to keep up with her fast pace.
A gun fired, and they both ducked down out of instinct as they kept going. They both began to swerve randomly to avoid whatever shots were fired. Luckily the men didn't seem to have that great of aim or that great of knack for getting around the obstacles in the alley.
"Damn it, Ray," said Leon in a voice that clearly displayed his pure agitation. "This is not how I wanted to spend my day."
"Hey, just shut up!" she retorted, glancing back. "It's not like I planned this. Do you think I like being shot at?" A few more gunshots shut them up as they focused on getting away more so than arguing.
"What now?" asked Leon.
"Turn here!" Ray commanded as she whipped down another alleyway that would soon lead onto the main street.
In no time at all, they were on an open road again, but it was also unpopulated. They were still on the back roads, which was probably for the best right now. They didn't need to endanger any innocents. No one else needed to get pulled in Ray's problem. It was bad enough that Leon was in trouble because of her.
The car soon came around the corner, the tires squealing and the engine roaring. It took off after them instantly. They were already a good distance ahead though. They were currently heading down a hill in the road, which
