B wins.
"Do I look like I can drive?" you hiss furiously. "Does it appear that my pugilistic education included a period in which I learned to drive a vehicle?"
"Look, it was worth a shot, okay?" Gertie snaps back. "Get in. I'll work it out."
You and Zhilan get in the car, yourself in the front seat and Zhilan in the back.
"Musical talent or not, I'm liking her less and less," Zhilan mutters.
The next twenty minutes are terrifying. Gertie manages to start the vehicle, and after bumping between the walls of the alley several times, gets acclimatised to the driving wheel (or whatever she calls it through the swearing), and slams on the axelemator to drive off. Through the honking and the vast speed that you are going at, you have the distinct impression that other vehicles on the road are swerving to get out of Gertie's way as you clutch to the seat and the sides of the car for dear life.
"I wish I didn't eat before this..." Zhilan mutters, behind you, clamping her hand over her mouth.
"Get off the road, moron!" Gertie yells, swerving between two cars as they begin to honk furiously and swerve around her. She dashes through an intersection, and grins.
"Almost there," she says savagely. "Just a few more tu-"
There is a loud honk, a banging noise, and everything spins. You are aware of the lights and screaming before your head hits the pavement. Everything goes dark.
You awaken with a groan. Almost every part of your body hurts, though a quick wriggle confirms that nothing is broken. Your injured arm, however, gives a painful twang (-2 Endurance). You pick yourself up, to find that you have been thrown clear of the vehicle's wreckage. Zhilan, a few feet away, groans as well, and gingerly sits up.
"What happened?" you murmur, shaking your head.
"We crashed, obviously," Zhilan groans. "Gertie hit a car. Or a car hit us. I don't know. Where's is she?"
"A good question," grunts a voice from behind you. You turn, to see that it is Mr. Tien and his two goons, all sporting dark bruises. It dimly occurs to you that after the crash, you don't look much better yourself. "She's around, somewhere," Tien snarls, cracking his knuckles. "She can't have recovered from the crash faster than you have, and you were out for a while. Now step aside and give her up to us. Don't you want to get on the Sung family's good side? There's good money in it for a couple of kids who can fight." The men behind him give a chuckle. "C'mon, give it a think over."
You decide to...
A: ...tell Tien to get lost and try to find Gertie.
B: ...accept Tien's suggestion and help him find Gertie.
