Looking up the mystery

Chapter one

It was Wednesday; Scarlett had fully recovered from her injury. She thought she might go with ivy to visit the chaotix. They were at the front door of the building. Scarlett was about to knock on the door before she could tails opened the door. "Hey guys! Ivy gave me a heads up when you would be here!" "I never gave you a exact time though."

"Well you said at five, and you are always seven minutes after the time you said."

Tails smiled proudly at himself.

"Wow, you do way too much research. Is anyone else here?"

"Well, me and knuckles are, but knuckles is asleep."

"Can I wake him up?" tails had a worried look on his face. "I wouldn't."

Ivy completely ignored him and went right where Knuckles was. Scarlett looked at tails. "I'm here for the, um, court order for the murder 'mystery" . Tails blinked then remember.

"Oh yes, I don't have it Espio does he is on a mission he will be back on the 10th. Scarlett looked down, "oh ok." Tails smiled at her. "Hey Scar, it's ok you are a rare vampire, you haven't attack anyone over 6000 years or so." Scarlett shrugged at his comment; nothing that he said made her feel any better. Scarlett walked into the huge building. Ivy was drawing on knuckles face.

"Hey, knuckle head aren't you supposed to be guarding the emerald?" ivy chuckled.

That's when knuckles shot up from his slumber, "THE MASTER EMERALD!"

Knuckles started running around the room gather stuff. He opened the front door of the chaotix building. Ivy was laughing and rolling on the floor. That is when knuckles stopped and looked at her puzzled. Then he shut the door; and dropped the stuff in his hands on the floor. He was remembering that it was his day off and Julie-su offered to watch it."Ivy! You know today is my day off!"

"Or did I?"

"I told her not to Knux!"Tails added himself in the conversation.

Scarlett was watching them; she didn't feel like yelling at the moment. She already knew what was going to be in the court order. What did scare her most was that Espio was on her case. Espio has always given the worst punishments for murder. Scarlett shivered at what was going to be her punishment. Maybe he would just put her in prison for the rest of her life. That would be horrible, she basically lives forever. Scarlett's thoughts were interrupted when she heard knuckles started yelling.

"Ivy one day I will kill you, you know that!"

"Try it; let's see how far you get bastard!"

Knuckles growled, "You are so dead!" knuckles tried to tackle ivy.

Ivy dodged, then ivy threw a punch at him but then he dodged as well. Knuckled returned the punch, ivy flew against the wall. She recovered fast and kicked knuckles in the stomach. He grunted with pain. That was when ivy decided to hit him again. Tails and Scarlett just watched them wondering how long this would go. Scarlett used her powers to freeze them. Then she unfroze them.

"Aw, he was about to pass out too."

"In your dreams."

Ivy chuckled, "you should fix your make up Knux."

Knuckles looked in the mirror on the side of him black marker smudges were all over his face. He stood there in 'aw'. That was when tails came up and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey knuckles," he said nervously, "That's not a big deal let's just go wash it off."

"You just better get her away from me, NOW!"

Ivy shrugged she was going to say something but changed her mind. She walked into the kitchen and sat at the table, and Scarlett followed her.

"Figure everything out?"

"No, Espio has my case."

"You're dead."

Tails walked in as soon as ivy said that. "Well good idea ivy, he is even more angry now."

Ivy crossed her arms. She always made people mad, it did not matter who; she just did. Ivy stood up and grabbed something on the counter. It was a red file and in bold letters it said DO NOT OPEN. Ivy decided to open it anyways. It had all the info about a criminal. She looked at the topics, it was a guy named scourge. It had his information on the page. Tails snatched the file away.

"Ivy didn't you see the words on the front or are you blind!"

"Blind." Ivy chuckled, "so who is this scourge guy?"

"We have been after him for years, we had knuckles come over and join the investigation."

"What has he done?"

"Well, murder, and robbing manly, he teamed up with someone else, but we do not know there identification."

Ivy leaned against the counter. She took the file back from him and started to scan for details. She found one picture of the green hedgehog. He was very similar to sonic. He had two scars across his chest, Blue eyes, and wore sun glasses and a black jacket.

"Wow, he seems to be easy to catch."

"He's not, he basically has the same powers as sonic, and he can use chaos control."

"Then get sonic on his case."

"He is!"

Ivy sighed with anger, she through the files on the counter. When she did the all the papers fell out and scattered everywhere. Tails groaned and started to pick them up. Scarlett just stayed quiet, so she wasn't the only one in big trouble. Ivy looked around the kitchen with boredom. She was thinking if she should join the case or not. She started to twiddle her thumbs.

"Maybe I should join the case, maybe as a back up."

"Ivy your way to busy and-"

"I am doing this case."

That was the end of the discussion. Ivy always had enough cases in her file. This one they have been hiding from her. Sonic was going to kill Tails when he got back. He was the one whom hid it from her. Oh boy, was tails in for it this time.

Well, I thought this was a good first chapter, I read it a million times looking for mistakes. Well review and no criticism please.
