It has been quite the calm day. Days, to be honest. We've been solving the cases pretty decently, and we get our payments. I got my own office and everything, I guess I can't complain.

I still can't believe I'm working for G.U.N., after what happened with the commander, but I think we accept each other now at least. And I'm glad about it. I decided to work for G.U.N. as a detective and forget my past. I need to rebuild my future.

But as I said, I can't complain. I got an office, some cases to keep me busy, and a good team. Oh, yeah, I forgot talk about them. As a detective on field, I have pretty solid team members. The remaining Chaotix members joined G.U.N. after their agency was disbanded, and those are Espio, Charmy and Vector. Espio is a good fighter, very disciplined and is by far the smartest of the three. Charmy, in the other hand, seems to just mess around and is quite annoying, but he has a keen eye with evidence. Vector is our meat wall: Big, strong, and not so smart. The last member is Rouge, my long time partner. It was her who decided to join my team, saying it needed a "feminine touch".

-Booooooooooooooooooss!

Charmy bursts in my office, like always.

-What's the matter Charmy?

-New case! The commander sent this for you!

Charmy hands out a piece of paper, still warm from the printing.

-Another robbery?

-Yes, but not an usual one. -Said Espio while entering my office.- Something rare was stolen. Take a look at this.

He gives me a picture of something close to a crystal, but that didn't seem to be a Chaos Emerald…

-Witnesses say the robbers were the Hooligans.

-Not by themselves. They have to be working for someone. This crystal is familiar to me…

-What do you mean?

-I've only seen this type of crystal once… Hurry, we're off to the crime scene.

I grab my jacket and put it on and head to our car. I keep thinking about the crystal… I know who it belongs to… And I know he wants it back…
