The Chase (1)

The group weaved their way through the city's winding streets, keeping a low profile and trying to avoid any unwanted attention.

Erik, in particular, was on high alert, knowing that the Crystal Cross Gang was still searching for him, but at least they managed to lose the Mambas, at least for now. However, they were clearly still searching for them, and they weren't far, probably. Their advantage was only temporary.

As they approached a large plaza, they could hear the sounds of a bustling crowd growing louder. The group hesitated, unsure of how to proceed since there could be more of the Mambas' men hidden through the crowd.

Besides, it was known that where there were large crowds, shops were present too, and if that was true, it meant the Crystal Cross gang was nearby, as they collected money from them.

Suddenly, they found themselves swept up in the mass of people, each jostling for a spot in the packed square.
