[The body isn't in great shape, but Atem doesn't care to preserve its muscles. He pushes it as hard as it can go, running full-tilt into the alley.
When Ryou reaches it, Atem will be perched like a gargoyle on one of the low rooftops, staying in line of sight of the target. Atem has him frantically climb up some pallets leaned against the side of a wall, so that he can scramble up and over a fence: he's in the pool area now. He might make up a little ground, since Atem has him jump onto his stomach and slide across the icy tarp that covers it this time of year at top speed, scrambling out and climbing the chain-link fence on the opposite side.
It's like a game for Atem -- like Dyster Dragracing. He's got to find the path that gives him the most speed boosts, that puts the most obstacles in Ryou's way, so that the chase can be drawn out as long as possible....
