Doc's Retrieval

by Adam Bowie aka Switch Blade

I’m glad that the leadership has so much confidence in me but is sure would be nice to have some backup that I know about.
 
Anyway, the current mission is to retrieve the chemist that is making the ‘super’ powered drug that is on the streets. I am supposed to capture him alive, if at all possible, otherwise, eliminate him so that the other factions can’t get their hands on him. Those poor fools that have either taken the juice or been forced on the juice, are marked for termination.
 
I finally get to a point where I can see the target clearly when I notice that some agents of the IERA show up. They are apparently following my target also. I hate being out in the open, but it is the only way to get to my target before they do.
 
I begin flying towards where ‘doc’ is getting out of their vehicle. Damn, he’s heading for the subway… Wait, that could be a good thing, he won’t be able to run as far if I can catch up to him.
Very shortly after I cleared the building top, I notice a flyer on my left. There are three others on the road to my right.
 
I watch in disbelief as someone in red attempts to jump the canal on a motorcycle to get to the other side. Well, they made it, but that poor bike hit the drink.
 
The flyer on my right attacks me. Good thing I was out of phase with the real world, as she passed right through me. Bad thing is I can’t do much against anyone while I’m like that. I switch over and do what I can to knock her out. That didn’t work, so we trade a couple of blows. I really shouldn’t let myself get distracted like that, my target has made his way into the subway.
 
I drop down through the building and see the person in red, might be a female, coming in through the door at the top of the stairs along with some dude that is sparking. Mind on the target.
