Victus had seen the smoke and thought the Man in Black would take a turn, but he guessed the pre-thought out left turn over an instinctual right. This path yielded a dead end after 50 feet, so Victus had to turn about and loudly race back towards the right hand path, as his platemail bounced on his frame and his cursing breaths.
Victus was starting to have his doubts about the monetary worth of this bounty in relation to the effort he had to put into it.
Mai locked up when she saw John slip into the same doorway she occupied. She'd stand there solid still, hoping he'd not take notice of her. But she was sure he would. She'd suddenly dart out of the doorway and turn, likely right in the direction of Victus. Her eyes widened with her teeth gritted in startle, looking like a cat that just got seriously spooked, "Oh shit!" Turning quickly to try to head the opposite direction. Hopefully not right back into John.
John glances at Mai, his eyebrows raising as he stares into her eyes. Part of him wanted to say something but he was a bit tired after that sprint. His arm would lazily reach out then just slap against his side lightly as he decided to sit down and lean against the wall, he wasn't going to go chasing again just yet, if anything they would both be too busy chasing each other. So for now he decided to just rest and get his breathing back to normal.

Victus saw the man in black dart into a doorway, and the girl pop out. As much as he would like to know what happened, he was after the girl and howled out more commands for her to halt and several oaths that were very unbecoming of a knight. He was running as fast as he could, which was nowhere near as fast as the girl, but Victus had endurance and he wasn't going to give up.

Twisted Fate was wandering the back streets of Piltover for a while now, they were his main way to avoid the authorities. He was on his way to one of the few illegal gambling rinks, in fact the one Mai just ran out of, when he heard many oaths being sworn by a voice. They were something along the lines of "Stop you foul wench!" or something like that. These lines were followed by very heavy footsteps, which sounded an awful like Garen's but they were not. One might argue whoever these footsteps belonged to, they wore armor that was just barely heavier than Garen's. However, Twisted Fate carried on and choose to ignore the shouts assuming they had nothing to do with him.
However, he might be proven wrong as he stepped right out of alley and in front of Mai. Who was the individual being chased by the unpleasant heavily armored knight he heard shouting earlier. ....This knight also carried a very large sword.
Twisted Fate's night of gambling pleasure was about to get a whole lot worse wasn't it?

Mai ran smack-dab into TF as he came around the corner, and likely bounced and fell back into the dirt. She'd stare up at the Card Master with eyes growing wide, aiming a foot towards one of his knees, "Sonofa- Don't you people ever give up!?" She shouted as she tried to force his knee backwards hoping to remove him from her escape path.
Hit or miss, she'd be scrambling to her feet as she reached her hand into her clothing, snagging one of the few remaining origami she kept hidden. She didn't bother glancing back at Victus as she was sure he was still behind her. That heavy armor of his didn't make determining this particularly difficult.

Twisted Fate looked surprised when a woman crashed into him, then she said something about "give up". He was about to ask what she meant when she raised a foot to kick him in the leg. He quickly stepped out of the way the kick missed him and she ran off. He looked at the knight getting a very bad feeling that this knight was more of a bounty hunter than anything else. However, in the case that he was Twisted Fate just couldn't miss this chance to taunt him, "Well Ah see why she is runnin'. After all she has tall, dark n' grusome commin' after her!"
After voicing this comment he ran down after Mai. This of course may worry her more, but the only real reason Twisted Fate was for self-preservation. That and he maybe slightly interested in the woman trying to escape from the law. He could use a little company in a city-state that is always on the look-out for him.

Jon was on his way from work, finally being able to get a rest after a brutal schedule that involved several neurosurgery operations that had to be conducted back-to-back. On his way back home, however, he noticed some commotion along one of the passages he had just passed by. Particularly, he heard quite a bit of swearing that left him wondering what in the world would leave someone so irritated to resort to such language. Deciding that it would be in his interests to investigate, he moved onto the path, just to witness a peculiar girl and... Twisted Fate? 'What was he doing here?' He thought to himself. Deciding to not worry about that for the moment, he noticed a rather large person in black armor sprinting what seemed to be after them, and tried to ask him:
Oh come ON! Mai glanced back to see ANOTHER person had joined the chase. This was beginning to get on her nerves. It was fun at first, but now the man in the hat was on her tail! She'd glance back and grit her teeth seeing TF, "God damnit!" She announced angrily as she tugged the horse origami out. As it started to glow, she'd jog backwards slightly to stick her tongue out at the men perusing her before turning and started to pick up speed. The effect clearly being a speed boost, giving her a good opportunity to widen the gap between herself, and those following her. She'd race around a corner and jump as her body went into hyper-mode, trying to climb another pipe to get back up to the rooftop.

"Get out of the way, FOOL!" Victus yells as he slams the Medic with his shoulder as he runs by, thankfully having enough momentum to not fall over himself, but likely bruising the doctor.
"STOP GIRL! In the name of the King, STOP!" Victus yelled again as the girl suddenly ran faster and dashed towards a pipe. "Dammit! I will not lose you!" Victus began looking for her likely escape routes and prepared to follow her from the streets...again....Why did he take this job again?

Jon recoils at the hit, almost falling over, but thankfully otherwise ok. He resets himself, but by that point, the man in black armor had already disappeared.
This only left him with more questions, however. He knew he couldn't possibly follow them exactly through the district; it was way too dense to follow even the man in full black armor. Thus, he decided to take the more open route, which was longer but less crowded, hoping to guess where they might end up.
"Bloody hell, did he know who he ran into?...."
"There's only one thing that I know for sure is true: 'Truth is relative.'" -Jon
"What side you're on isn't of concern to me. What is of concern is that you're hurt, and I need to treat you for it." -Jon
"Contrary to what some believe, violence does not solve everything. In fact, it solves nothing." -Jon

Twisted Fate heard the knight order him to stop the girl...who just sped away due to a speed boost. However, while extra speed was great...teleportation was far superior. Twisted Fate channeled..he saw Mai climbing a rooftop and he imagined himself on that rooftop. A stack of cards appeared at his feet and slowly spread out till they completed a full circle around him. Then there would be a bright light and Twisted Fate would disappear.
He would then reappear on the roof that Mai was climbing too. The full circle of cards would fade as Twisted Fate approached the side that Mai was climbing on. She would see a hand appear from the roof to help her out and a voice say, "Well Ah'm happy ta' see someone else runnin' from the law sides' me. Ah reckon' ya' need a hand gettin' out of this here town n' Ah'm one that can help ya' with that."
Mai's eyes lifted to find a hand.. from... Wait, how'd he get here? Her eyebrows shot up, ready to take off back down the pipe. Hearing him however, caused her to pause and lift those ethereal violets back to TF. She'd pinch her eyebrows down, before simply accepting his hand, "..I swear to gods..." she muttered, quickly making her way up to the roof likely with his help, "If this is a trick.." She'd glance over the edge behind her to eyeball anymore pursuers with a look of disdain. Keeping her hand gripped with TFs, she'd start to run, "You got a plan? Might be a good idea to get it going or we're both screwed."

"Cheri, Ah maybe be a conman, but Ah'm also a gentleman." The Cardmaster said before answering her next question with a smile, Ah always have a plan n' luck on stand-by" Twisted Fate said as he ran after her. "Ah would teleport us out, but Ah'd rather not push myself too much. Though Ah think Ah know n' old escape route that Graves n' Ah used ta' get out of town real quick." Twisted Fate said as he jumped to another building, "Plus the police are less likely ta' patrol over there Ah reckon' unless Caitlyn or Vi are over there."
The Cardmaster changed their direction toward the south jumping to the next rooftop, after all that was the direction toward Bilgewater. That is how Graves and Twisted Fate always set up their escape routes. Personal preference since Graves was born there and Twisted Fate was not chased around there as often.
