Brand new and flashy as a circuit could be, Cithona is the pride of the racing community. It had yet to garner as many racers as Rancaar, but should do very well. It's already captured a few eyes..

Bobby and the group had dispersed into the crowd. He still hadn't told anyone about his plans centering around Miranda, and preferred it if they weren't around her speeder.
"Everyone in position?" he asked his earpiece, standing as if he belonged to the Circuit Staff.
"Bobby, what the hell are we doing?" Moony whispered. "Scouting? Stealing? What?" As he waited for an answer, he picked the pocket of a stuffy business man, who remained none the wiser. "You never told us anything--"
"Relax, Moons. Live in the moment." Bobby slowly made his way towards the speeder belonging to the girl who he secretly referred to as 'Randa.

Nessa placed her hand on Moonys shoulder and jutted her chin to where Bobby was heading.
" Look." Her face was right next to his ear, so she just whispered.
" I knew he was focusing on her." She giggled softly.
Miranda grumbled angrily, not at herself or the speeder, but at the people she had left behind on the shuttle that brought her to Sarente.
" Would you like another blanket, Miss Newhaven? How about some tea? Perhaps something light to eat, Miss Newhaven? Can we tempt you with something sweet?" She mumbled, checking her bright pink, white, and black speeder. Fame did have its problems, like people you didn't need attempting to wait on you hand and foot. Miranda could take care of herself, thank you very much.
She took a deep breath to steady herself. Anger was not a good emotion to have during a race. Confidence, and a tad of fear, those were the right ones. A little bit of fear kept one alive.
She glanced up and frowned from confusion.
' I don't remember asking for a body guard.' She thought, rising her to human feet to greet him, her sandy colored tail twitching as she crossed her arms under her chest.

Moony watched in utter confusion as Bobby did indeed walk right up to Miranda, flashing a badge and everything.
"That sneaky b*****d." As soon as he swore, though, he rubbed his neck. "Sorry..."
"Miss Miranda Newhaven?" Bobby said, speaking quite well and in a dignified manner. He almost seemed like a bred gentleman as he extended his arm towards her speeder. "I'll be looking out for you this afternoon. Please, pretend as though I'm part of the scenery." He softly took her elbow, directing her a little faster. But, as he did so, he took his finger up to his earpiece to mock a communication. Really, he was whispering to her.
"We've really got to talk."

Miranda gently pulled his fingers off her arm and set down the wrench she was using, one eye brow raised at him.
" About?" Everything in her voice rang skepticism. She had a feeling in her gut that everything was going to go downhill from here.
And those feelings were always right.

Moony messed with his earpiece.
"What the hell are you doing?" he barked in a whisper. But Bobby didn't answer.
"About how your booking agents are a buncha meatheads, that's what," he said, still using a low voice, but his accent escaped his lips. Every glance at her nearly betrayed how beautiful he thought she was, but it was no time for flirting.
"You even know where the hell you are and what's been going on here for the last few months, Miss Newhaven?"

She rolled her eyes and went back to her repairs.
" My mother was born here, so yes. I know what it was like that time ago, Mr.Cule-whatever-your-name-is. Im not.." She tightened a bolt
" Fully Cule or Human." She frowned at him.
" And I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak to me as if I were dumb. You've caught me on a bad day, Mr. Cule. They're rare, but they're volatile." She grumbled and took a glance at him.
" Though, something in your expression tells me it's going to get worse." She rested her forehead against the cold metal of the speeder with a frown.

Bobby certainly wasn't going to play nice when her life was very well in danger.
"Tch, don't get smart with me. You're on my turf now, kitty. And lemme tell you, people are noticin' you, and not in a good way." Bobby, despite his tone, was standing erect and apparently aloof. No one suspected him. "Those times never ended. You better watch your back."
Moony shook his head, gently directing Nessa to a shady part under the stands where some workers were getting things set up for the big race.
"I don't trust this. Bobby don't usually go out on a limb, leaving us to guess at what we're supposed to be doin'." He sighed, rubbing his face. But then he noticed a man watching Bobby and Miranda, too, and a little too closely at that.
"You see him?" he whispered.

" I've seen him. And I'm already preparing." She looked at Moony.
" Just contact Bobby, I can take care of him easy if need be." Nessa fixed her gaze back on him, and zoomed in.
" Oh damn..He's got a H-59. A sniper rifle. He's setting it up right now, he's on the first piece. We don't have much time." Nessa frowned, not wanting to show what she really was infront of all these people, unless she had to. She wondered vaguely if Moony would remark on her being able to see a distance and detail that noone should be able to.
Unexpectedly, Miranda smiled up at him
" Isn't that what you're supposedly here for?" She raised a brow at him and continued with her speeder, staying just as alert now as she had been the whole time.

Moony's heart skipped a beat.
"Bobtail!" he said into his earpiece. "Bobby, we got a problem. Sniper on the roof, preparing for a shot. Aiming at you and Miranda. Get her out of there. Now!"
And there was the part he was dreading.
"Miss Newhaven, your adventure begins now." Bobby went up to her and looked as if he was suggesting something rather than forcing her. "Please, just cooperate, so I don't have to be the bad guy." Once more he tried to tug her towards safety, where he saw a small speedbike standing unguarded. If he could get them back to the underground...

Nessa frowned.
" You cover Bobby, keep looking for threats. I'll get this joker before he can fire off a single shot." With that, she slipped away, quicker than he could blink. And when he did, she was already moving across a rooftop towards the shooter. No one had even noticed.
Miranda pulled her arm away from his, but hurried beside him anyways. Her own sense were going wild, warning her of danger. She didn't usually follow strange Cule men, but this was an exception.

"You got a sniper friend," he said with such sarcasm he risked humor. Bobby began a fast pace towards the speedbike...
Gotta get her back. She's too beautiful to die.
Moony trusted Nessa for some reason. Whether he would regret it or not, his heart told him to just do it.
Moony phoned in once more.
"Covering you, Bobby. And your a** is in so much trouble for this, you've no idea." He looked around for any more suspicious types, and guessed the guy was working alone. "Moving in."
Please, Nessa, you're too beautiful to die...

Nessa took one mighty, elegant leap and ended behind the shooter. She smirked-he hadn't even noticed her. She tapped him on the shoulder, as and he turned, she cracked her fist into his jaw, successfully breaking it and knocking him out in one blow. She used her earphone to contact Moony.
" You want this idiot taken in for questioning? I can wipe his memory as soon as we're done with him. And I don't think he's the only one here, keep looking." She said, tying his hands together and stuffing the rifle within her sand cloak. It could prove useful, who knew?
" Ohh, lovely. I've always wanted one of those." Miranda said, with just as much sarcasm in her voice as his. They loaded up onto the bike, she wasn't even bothering to question him now.

A shot fired, landing just shy of Bobby's right ear. In a slight panic, he revved up the bike, having them shoot off onto the main road with Miranda sitting in front of him. Bobby would use his body as a shield if he had to.
"You are SO lucky I saved your butt, ya little brat!" he yelled into her ear over the engine.
The entire stadium erupted into shock and chaos as the two sped away, headed for the underground, but Moony and Nessa were still there.
"Nessa, get the hell outta here! C'mon, we gotta go!" Moony was almost in an outright panic. Bobby was gone, no doubt, but the shot had been fired. Had it hit it's mark?

Nessa was suddenly by Moonys side, clutching his hand, and pulling him along out of the circuit.
" The shot didn't hit, don't worry. They're fine." She said as they hurried out of the place among the panicing crowd.
" We'll meet them at the underground. I'm sure you have a few questions for Bobby-and me." She winked at them as they continued running back to the entrance, which wasn't too far away.
Miranda elbowed him lightly in the gut with a frown. It ment she was grateful, and just a little annoyed.
-back to the underground?-
