The Rebel reluctantly leads the group to a run down part of the city that was in the process of being rebuilt. There he has lead them to a building that was under construction that he was currently squatting in. It was hardly a home base, but it would do for the night.
[COMM]: "Hey, Aaron? Come in, this is... Paladin. Yeah, I like that codename. Anyway, Mark and I are... somewhere. Where do you want me to take this truck and meet up with you guys?"
"So, you know that commotion outside, when we met you? Some of our compatriots stole an Imperial truck, I'm hearing. Do you have any associates they could bring it to?"
Aaron gets on the comm, after giving both Sarah and the nameless sniper a nod!
[COMM]: "Jim probably has that truck tracked, Josh. Ditch it and lay low, come find us once nobody's eyes are on you. Or we'll find you."
How to get to them without sticking out even more than they already have, there's an open question. Josh and Mark's faces are probably known, after all...
[COMM]: "... So like... blow it up? Checked on Mark a ways back, and it looks like this truck is full of fuel. Wouldn't take much, one shot from this shock pistol to make the whole thing go kablooey, and then we can try to hail you. Just say the word, and that's what we'll do."
[COMM]: "Not sure I like that plan. No offence, but that would draw an insane amount of attention, and think about collateral damage. Even one civilian getting hurt by that is unacceptable. Hold on, though; if you're driving now, try to drive normally, and don't let anyone get a good look at your face."
Well, it could be useful, but still, Istanbul had millions of people living in it. Not worth the risk, even without how many hornets would come flying out from the nest getting kicked that hard. Of course, they are also supposed to damage the Imperial war effort while they're here, so if it can be disposed of safely...

[COMM]: "Well, uh, we're on our way to the outskirts of the city, if that's any indication. We could drop this thing off on the side of the road without a soul in sight. And uh.. yeah. I'm driving. This thing handles like a freaking school bus."
[COMM]: "Okay, ditch it and find somewhere to lay low. Let the heat die down before we meet back up."
Coordinating all this would be easier without the pain and medication clouding his mind. He takes his finger off the comm as the rebel's pacing gets more and more frantic, though, looking concerned.
[COMM]: "Baaaad news, buddy. Looks like they already caught wind of us. I'll try n' shake them, but they're probably faster than us. We're gonna have to ditch it AND try to take these guys out."
Josh continued glancing at his mirrors whenever possible, but now was a time to try and find the area that'd be LEAST affected by this truck blowing straight to kingdom come. As soon as he found a place and stopped the truck, he'd need to get Mark out, pronto.
The Inquisition. Unexpected! Aaron'd read a little about their existence, back all those months ago, when they had their first shot at Clavish, when he'd decided to try to know his enemy. And he'd captured one of those robed Acolytes, not that they'd been able to help him. Not to mention there'd been those signs all over the place, warning people they were watching. He can't quite help a concerned frown as he thinks about that, but tries not to let it get him too down.
"They don't know about us, their attention is probably all on that truck right now. It's going to be okay, but we all have to keep a cool head about it, all right?"
He gives the rebel what he hopes is a calm, reassuring smile, and walks gingerly over to the nearest window to take a quick look out, seeing if he can spot anything out of the ordinary! He tries to keep to the side, so that if somebody is looking through the window, they can't see him standing there.

Josh took a niiiiice long deep breath and held it for a couple seconds, letting it out slowly in order to steel his nerves. His hands trembled as he held the wheel of the supply truck, with enemy vehicles bearing down on them. They hadn't opened fire yet, which was good. If they had, that all but pretty much guaranteed that Mark would be a goner. That just made it all the more important that he find somewhere to stop.
Seeing that they were getting close to the outskirts of the city, Josh turned the wheel to a hard right and hit the brakes in order to block the road. Popping out of the driver's seat (thank goodness that Turkey drove on the right side of the road like America did, or he would've screwed himself!), Josh left the door open and hurried to the back end, keeping the truck between himself and the approaching vehicles.
"You don't understand! Any one of you can be part of it! Anyone is. EVERYONE IS!"
The Rebel seemed to be freaking out more than a little.
When Josh turns the car to block the road the Military vehicles behind him do the same! Mark hops out and sees soldiers starting to get out of the vehicles with more rifles!
"Oh my good god, would you calm your tits, dude?!"
Sarah finally stood up, clenching her fists.
"I BETRAYED Jimothy Clavish. /I/ betrayed him. DIRECTLY. How hard do you think it is to look at his face? And I'm still here!"
She walked up to the Rebel, speaking through clenched teeth.
"So cool your jets. If anybody is in on this, it'd be me. And you know what? Blow my damn head off the second you think I'm betraying Paradigm, my HOME. Fucking kill me the second it seems I'm going down the wrong path. But just SHUT UP already and help the people who are more important to me, an ex TRAINED PUPPET, than Clavish."
