Chapter one

As soon as the morning came, the phone rung, awaking the blue hedgehog from his deep slumber. He groaned and the answered the phone, letting a yawn pass before he spoke.

"It's five in the morning, Espio," he informed through the another yawn. He put the phone on speaker and stood from the bed.

"Opps, sorry! Though you would be awake by now," Espio replied through the phone.

" 'thought' and 'am' are two completely different things. But it doesn't matter since I AM awake now," Sonic said with a chuckle, "so what'd you call so damn early for anyways?"

"We got the information you requested."

Sonic gasped and he faced the phone, "honestly?"

L-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-W

Vector gave off a slight growl as he threw his feet to the top of his desk and leaned his chair back.

"What's your deal?" Espio asked, already annoyed, "why are you growling?"

Vector drew his eyes to the purple chameleon, "no reason really. Just curious."

Espio paused on what he was doing and averted all of his attention to his boss, "so that gives a reason to growl?" he asked and Vector glared at him, "alright never mind. But what are you curious about?"

Vector sighed before answering, "like, why is Sonic so persistent to tracking down this hedgehog?" he tossed down a document to his desk, "I know you want to know as much as I do."

He shrugged, "I am curious, I can admit to that, but it's not our job to pry."

"Well," he began, "I'm just saying, whoever this guy is to Sonic he sure is desperate."

Espio nodded with agreement and his eyes slowly wondered down to the file.

Just why was Sonic so determined to find out who this guy was?

The door soon opened, then footsteps.

Espio and Vector turned to face the entrance and there stood Sonic.

"Is the…" he began, but Espio interrupted him with a nod, "may I see?"

Vector picked up the file and opened it, "when you gave us his appearance, details, and characteristics, he wasn't hard to research. You did say black hedgehog, red highlights, white fur on his chest, red eyes, and looked eighteen, correct?" Sonic nodded, "a very gothic appearance as well?"

"Yeah," Sonic could still remember him. His image never left his mind.

Vector handed the document to the blue hedgehog, "here," he said, "read it over."

Sonic didn't hesitate to take. As soon as that file touched his hand, he opened it. The document was fairly empty.

"His name is Shadow. That's all we really got. No home address, no phone number, nothing. It's almost like he doesn't even exist."

'Shadow,' Sonic thought, 'so that's his name. the name of my savior. The one who risked his life just to save me. The one I love,' "So there's no possible way to contact him or find him?" he questioned.

Vector shook his head, "Afraid not. Unless you come across him. But he's got to be at least twenty three by now. Chances are he moved. You said you first met him five years ago. How?"

Sonic narrowed his eyes and took a seat, "he saved my life," he answered in a quiet tone, "I entered some sort of private gang grounds that was off limits. If he hadn't shown up when he did…" he left the rest of the sentence hanging, "I own him something. I don't know what, but I have a dept to repay."

Sonic was in love with this being known as Shadow and he wanted to see him again. More then anything, he wants to see him again.

But if he came across him again, what would he say to him? Would he even remember him?

'I'm in such a jam,' he thought to himself, 'it took five years just to figure out his name. how long before we actually meet? Another five? Ten? Or maybe longer…'

He clenched the document tightly in his hands and his arms shook. He gave off a mental sigh and he stared down at the document, silent.

What was he to do?
