Following her most recent job, a young hitwoman goes on the run following an attempted hit on her life and must contend with a massive police presence while trying to escape. In the process, she encounters a small military squad who assists her in her escape, acting as her bodyguards.

Hunted

After washing off her weapon from her most recent kill, Amanda drops the weapon back into her inventory. The female ragdoll sighs in annoyance from being used as a pawn. For her, she's being used just for her employer's own benefit; a puppet, as one would say. Following her cleanup, Amanda begins to retire away from her kitchen when her phone vibrates in her rear pocket.

Fishing her phone from her pocket, the female ragdoll observes the message and her eyes widen, before clouding back in annoyance. It was another text from her superior, this time congratulating her on a job well done. And he assigned her to meet someone for a reward. Knowing her superior all too well, Amanda secures a gun in her waist just in case of a betrayal.

~~~~~

Driving a Pure White colored Nissan GT-R Black Edition (R35), Amanda pulls up to a parking lot where she observes a black Chevrolet Corvette C6.R just a couple spaces away. Instantly suspicious, the female ragdoll keeps a tight hold on her waist, ready to shoot at any moment.

The moment Amanda climbs out of her R35, her suspicions heighten immensely. Obviously she is to meet someone, so is the person in the Corvette the one? She doesn't wait long to see when she notices someone exiting the American car, marching up to her with a briefcase in hand.

The client is a male antelope who was dispatched to meet Amanda in secret. What she doesn't know is that her employer is setting her up to be eliminated. So a simple transaction should do the job… little did the client or his employer realize the frenzied state Amanda is in until it's too late.

"Okay pretty thing, here's your reward." After handing the briefcase over to Amanda, the antelope immediately draws his gun, grinning eerily at the ragdoll. But when he levels it at Amanda and begins to speak, "And Mark told me to tell you–"

*BANG-BANG!*

The client drops to the pavement with two bullets pumped into his stomach, all from a livid ragdoll cat. She then drops the briefcase to the ground, which clatters and spills out the cash inside, and kicks the wounded antelope in his wounded side, causing him to cry out loudly in pain. She then screams, "I AM DONE!!! I WANT NO MORE OF THIS!!! YOU IDIOTS THINK I'M STUPID ENOUGH TO JUST WALTZ INTO HIS TRAP??? WELL, GUESS WHAT! HE'S PLAYING ALL OF YOU!!!"

She steps away to cool her head before rounding back on the wounded deer and snatching him up by his collar, aggravating his bullet wounds even more. With one last angry tirade, Amanda hisses into his face, "Tell your ugly superior that he can rot in jail for the rest of his life! And you can take your ugly money back to him!" She throws the deer hard away with a shove, sending him collapsing against the driver side of the C6.R, followed by her kicking the compromised suitcase over to him. She then climbs back into her R35 and speeds off, wanting no more of this.

~~~~~

Following the attempted exchange operation, Amanda begins packing her belongings while also changing her contacts. She even goes so far as to even block her superior from contacting her, but through all of this, she turns her status to 'anonymous' to avoid both suspicion and capture. Knowing that her superior is in the police force, Amanda sets out to change her car's appearance and eventually comes across a safehouse with a shop nearby. After pulling into the shop, she changes her R35 to a different color, a Black Cherry color, to avoid instant recognition. Now is her time to escape.

~~~~~

On the road again, Amanda is now focused on her escape. But the moment she leaves her safehouse, she checks her current location, gauging the distance she has to travel to reach the freeway. Unfortunately, her status underneath the radar doesn't last for long once her police scanner crackles to life.

:Attention all units monitoring, a suspect wanted in connection with reckless driving was just reported into 9-1-1. Driver has multiple outstanding warrants for an arrest. Suspect will use her vehicle to ram police. Repeat, suspect will use her vehicle to ram police. Minimal time delay; suspect was last seen headed westbound. Can I get some units to head that way for me, please?:

:Dispatch, any more info on that call? The details are coming up on my screen.:

:Suspect is driving a purple, possibly black, Nissan.:

:I'll check it out; I'm in the area.:

Remaining focused on her plan, Amanda attempted to keep herself relaxed, so as not to attract any more attention. But due to the information from the police scanner, any hopes of being undetected were squashed. All she could do now is anticipate a police pursuit at any given moment.

Occasionally, the female ragdoll checks her location via GPS but while she keeps an alert lookout for the cops, a black-and-white Dodge Charger SRT8 suddenly appears in her rearview mirror, speeding up and lighting her up. Looks like the chase is on from this point!

PURSUIT STARTED

(BGM: High Speed Monster - Yuzo Koshiro [Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 OST])

:Dispatch, this is Unit 227. Got a vehicle that matches the description - gonna be pulling it over. Standby.:

:Vehicle description matches entry on a dangerous Code 6 party. Be careful with that one:

Gritting her teeth, Amanda observes a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 patrol car along with the Dodge Charger SRT8. She whispers out, "Already?? Looks like I have my hands full!"

Upon seeing the two police cars in her rearview mirror, Amanda panics and races away. But as instantly as she panics, she puts her game face on and proceeds to assess her situation, turning herself into an aggressive foe very quickly.

Slamming on her brakes, Amanda allows the two police cars to catch up, only under the pretense of stopping completely; in actuality, she is actually brake checking them to begin her attack.

With the two police cars flying by her at close proximity to her Nissan, Amanda charges at the Camaro ZL1 patrol car, smashing into the driver side and forcing it out of her way.

:10-36! Code 6 just T-boned me!:

Amanda grits her teeth and keeps right on going until she cuts her speed and whirls around to pull a 180. Now directly facing the cops, Amanda guns the Twin-Turbocharged V6, putting her R35 in the path of the Charger in a head-on collision!

*WHAM!*

:I just went head to head with the suspect! We're still Code 3!:

Knocking the SRT8 out of the way, Amanda races down Gullwing Drive, leading the cops on a high-speed pursuit. Along the way, the pursuit condition crackles over her police scanner.

:Attention all units - pursuit status is at Condition 5. That is Condition 5.:

"I just need to escape, but I also want to leave a message too. Mark has gone too far in this." The ragdoll contemplated to herself. While she spins back around to meet the mildly damaged police cars, more units start to converge on her location. Passing by the two initial police cars, the female ragdoll sneaks a glimpse into her rearview mirror, taking note of three new vehicles entering the chase: Ferrari FF (Enforcer), Lexus LFA, and Aston Martin Vanquish.

:This is 383-9 - Stay to the edge as you approach the roadblock; 10-67 in the center lane.:

Ahead of the pursuit lies a roadblock where two police cars are stationed. From left to right: Porsche Carrera GT, Spike Strip, Aston Martin Vanquish. However, the road is wide enough for the ragdoll driver to get through, so she moves to the right of the roadblock to get by unscathed while charging in at high speed, slipping through.

:She evaded the spikes! Suspect's still on the run!:

Upon evading the roadblock, Amanda keeps right on going, leaving the pursuing units to catch up to her. At the same, the ragdoll barks, "Come on, pigs! I dare you all to take me down!!!"

Charging along Gullwing Drive, Amanda activates a Turbo Boost and proceeds to rocket away, propelling her R35 well along the road.

:Dispatch, get everyone you can over here! We're gonna lose her!:

:Copy that, Unit 477. Units have been detailed and are en route - Unit 571 is joining shortly.:

"Guess these guys must be calling in the calvary. There has to be some way I can flag someone down to help me out here." Amanda wondered to herself. Upon noticing another roadblock up ahead, Amanda sees an opening on the sidewalk, yet instead she activates an ESF and slows down, slamming into one of the roadblock vehicles to force her way through.

*PUNCH!*

:Driver pushed through the block!:

Continuing along the remainder of Gullwing Drive, the female ragdoll makes her way along the road at high speed, shooting out of the business district and the beach. While the pursuit units follow to try and stay with her, the target encounters something else.

Along the way, Amanda observes a black Hennessey Venom GT in the opposing lanes and immediately flashes her lights at the car. The Venom driver responds by flashing back and whirling around to join her, shooting down the road to pick up the pace.

With the black Hennessey Venom GT tailing her, Amanda keeps a close watch not only on her rearview mirror, which she adjusts to get a better, clearer view of her pursuers, but also on her GPS to pinpoint their location. This helps her to keep up with the pursuit.

More red chevrons appear on Amanda's mini-map, coming from both directions - some responding officers are catching up to the pursuit from behind, while others are responding head on. Not wanting to be involved in a head-on collision, Amanda changes course and slams her brakes to slow down, swinging her R35 into a smooth clockwise drift to turn onto a side street to head into the city.

The ragdoll briefly checks her rearview mirror to see the menacing black Venom GT on her tail, along with multiple patrol cars on their six. But what the ragdoll notices also is the driver of the Venom GT, which appears to be a lion behind the wheel.

"Stay calm, Amanda. We need to escape." Amanda mutters to herself. It is at this time that Amanda shoots past an alleyway where a mysterious green vehicle is sitting. And when the pursuit shoots past, the green car rolls out of the alleyway and takes off, rocketing down the road to catch up.

:All units, supervisor has escalated chase status to Condition 6. That is Condition 6.:

"Oh man, looks like things are starting to pick up, but there won't be much of a difference anyway - not that it matters. I'll probably be dead anyway." Amanda mutters to herself. Seconds later, the ragdoll perks up from the sounds of spikes being deployed behind her.

:Dispatch, we need more backup! These guys are putting up a fight!:

"Looks like the fight has just begun! I hope I can escape!" Amanda comes to the realization that the two new additions are protecting her from the cops. She uses this to her advantage to make her escape.

Slowing down for an alleyway, Amanda swings her R35 into a counter-clockwise drift, careening into an alleyway with her two bodyguards following her. But up ahead is a Ferrari 458 Italia patrol car pulling halfway to the alleyway to block Amanda's escape. Undeterred, the ragdoll guns the accelerator, activating an ESF in the process. "Oh no you don't! You're not keeping me cooped up!"

*WHAM!*

*STATIC!*

:We lost a unit, they took a big hit!! Gonna need Code 3 emergency crews!:

An aggressive T-bone attack, coupled with the ESF, sends the 458 Italia into a mid-air twirl across the street, bouncing off a guardrail on impact. This leaves the patrol car a crashed wreck while Amanda catches brief air, doubling back onto Gullwing Drive.

The menacing V8 from the Venom GT grows louder behind Amanda, leading to the ragdoll to gaze over at the black hypercar to her left. To her surprise and suspicion, a male lion is behind the wheel, monitoring her status while keeping his attention on the road ahead. Amanda does the same while driving, eventually noticing the lion driver inside the Hennessey Venom GT.

A little ways ahead, a second mysterious vehicle shoots directly out of an alleyway seconds after Amanda's flyby. The vehicle in question is an aqua blue McLaren 600LT, also able to keep up with the fleeing R35. with the fleeing R35. By the time Amanda careens back onto Gullwing Drive, units converge on her location.

Amanda's new bodyguards begin to make work of the new police cars, slamming against any that attempt to get to her. But in the chaos, there is the sudden eruption of gunfire. The female ragdoll panics, weaving back and forth between incoming and oncoming lanes.

'They're shooting!! They're shooting!! I wasn't aware of this!!' Amanda mentally panics within herself. But after stealing a glance in her rearview mirror and hearing tire screeching noises, the ragdoll slowly comes around in realization that her new bodyguards are shooting at the cops. One of them suffers a blown tire and careens off the road, going into a rollover.

:Shots fired! Repeat, shots fired during pursuit! Send E.M.S immediately!:

When Amanda steals another glance in her rearview mirror, she catches sight of an overturned and wrecked Ferrari 458 Italia patrol car. At the same time, she sees multiple black-and-whites on her tail, as well as the black Venom catching up. But the aqua blue McLaren 600LT is a new sight for her to take in. Upon noticing the blue McLaren, Amanda squeaks in wonder, "Who's that?"

Behind the wheel of the McLaren 600LT, a golden furred male lion switches his sights between the road and the fleeing R35. His aquamarine eyes dart between the R35 and the road while also dealing with the police. Through radio transmissions, the two lions communicate with each other on how they can protect the white Nissan - a tricky assignment with a very angry ragdoll and a crooked deer leader pulling the strings of his operation.

More cops move in, trying to surround Amanda's white Nissan. But as fast as the cops begin their rolling roadblock, they have to abort just as fast - one of the police cars, a McLaren 12C, is lit up with bright sparks emanating from the vehicle. Then it careens off the road onto the shoulder, grinding to a dead halt.

:PC down! I got smoke!:

What is more, traffic is also an issue. Between the cops and their target, any one of them can be the victim of a traffic collision caused by a simple crash from anyone. The results can be deadly.

By the time more cops converge on Amanda's location, her bodyguards are making quick work of the pursuers by repeatedly ramming them and using their weapon tech. And then another entity shoots into the fray from out of nowhere, jamming itself into the pursuit as well. It is a silver Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991) Weissach Package, being driven by a male cougar.

:Dispatch, we need all the help we can get over here! These suspects are multiplying!:

:Copy that Unit 487. Units are detailed and— *STATIC!*:

Police communications are cut off due to one of the bodyguards deploying a radar jammer, shutting off all cop communications and weapons. Then the Porsche suddenly slows down - what is this suspect thinking?

*KA-BLAM!*

:Dispatch!! Suspect’s trying to take me off the road!!:

A sudden Shockwave blast from the 911 GT2 RS sends multiple pursuing vehicles careening out of control. This keeps the cops at bay, leading Amanda to edge closer to escaping with her new unexpected bodyguard keeping the police at bay.

:Dispatch, get everyone you can over here! We're gonna lose her!:

Through the chaos, Amanda edges closer and closer to escaping when she enters the Interstate, racing onto Interstate 4. With the sounds of battle going on in the background, the female ragdoll activates a Turbo Boost to propel her further and further away from the cops.

:Target’s pulling away! We're gonna lose her!:

“Come on…! Little more…! Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh!!!” Amanda is barely able to control her R35 with the Turbo boost active, though she is progressing quickly into making her escape. But up ahead, she notices a blue Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk entering Interstate 4 via incoming on-ramp right as she careens into incoming lanes. When she races by the Jeep, she catches sight of two occupants inside - a white lion driver and a lynx passenger.

“That's her?” The Lynx watches the R35 blow past them on the freeway, followed by the black Hennessey Venom GT and the blue McLaren 600LT in close proximity to each other.

“Yes, that's her! Nick already informed us about it so we need to stick to the plan! You know how to- !!!” The lion careens the big Jeep out of the way of a spinning Ferrari 458 Italia Enforcer, afterwards shouting, “Watch where you throw those things, Toby!!!”

Before the cougar can even respond, gunfire breaks out once more with both sides shooting at each other. Seconds into the ensuing fire, the black Venom slows down hard, leaving his colleagues to wonder what he's planning now - a sharp burst of angry electricity against a McLaren 12C patrol car seals the deal, followed by a sharp blast of energy, completely knocking the police car off the road and disabling it.

*STATIC!*

:Vehicle down - I'm dropping out.:

With no more police cars to deal with, Amanda and her new bodyguards can now breathe easy. But they need to find a safehouse to lie low in.

“Hey Chris? I just thought of something.” The lynx begins to point out, “There's a safehouse here that's higher up. But while that's optional, there is one that is off-road next to the Interstate. We just need to guide our target there.”

“Casper, what are you getting at?” Chris demanded Casper to get to the point when he should have kept silent; the white lion realizes what the lynx is getting at. Finally, Chris comments, “We'll need to turn back around to make it over there. But all of it is entirely dirt. We need a safehouse with a legit parking lot or space or whatever, something that won't look suspicious to these crooks.”

“We just need to work with what's convenient and close by for us.” Casper shrugged, thinking nothing of the police situation.

~~~~~

Breathing heavily and shaking from her successful escape from the fuzz, Amanda cautiously enters the safehouse to inspect it. It is directly next to the freeway and on a dirt trail. But after entering and flipping on a light switch does the female ragdoll finally get to exploring, whipping out her sidearm in the process. However, there is no need for a gun since the place is completely clean and free of danger. Only after her thorough investigation does Amanda tuck her gun back in. She breathes a sigh of relief and later collapses forward, face-planting herself into a brown leather couch for an instant knockout. Little does Amanda realize that her problems are just getting started, but help will also be available in a way she has never thought of…
