Where am I? I don't remember landing the X Tornado, I just found myself walking through the forest. Something just doesn't feel right.

Tails pushed through the doors into the building. He figured he'd just ask where he was and if anyone had seen where he'd landed his plane. Tails didn't like his situation; his memory was perfect, and yet he had no idea where he was or how he'd gotten there.

"Hello friend, would you like a room?" Tails jumped in surprise at the voice after so long in silence. He looked around before finding what looked like a rat. He was about Tails' height, and carried a keyring and candle.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I frightened you." The rat said, "My name is Gregory. I'm in charge here at Gregory House." "Oh, so this is a hotel of some kind?" Tails asked. Gregory nodded, "That's right. One of the best in fact. Now, to repeat my earlier question, would you like a room?"

"No thank you, I was just wondering if you could tell me where I am and if you saw where I landed, or probably crashed, my plane." Tails said.

"I'm afraid I haven't seen any planes this night. Do you not remember where you left it?" Gregory asked. "No, I can't really remember much of anything that's happened tonight." Tails said.

"Oh my! Well, if that's the case, then you should probably get a room for now. Some rest will do you well. Who knows? Maybe you'll even remember what brought you here." Gregory said.

Tails thought for a moment and decided that Gregory was right. "Right this way friend." Gregory said before Tails even said that he agreed.

"I've never seen your species before." Tails said as Gregory led him down the hall. "I've never seen a fox with two tails, lots of strange people find themselves here, it seems." Gregory said with a chuckle. There was something about the rats laugh that sent a chill up Tails' spine.

As Gregory showed Tails down the hall, Tails suddenly became aware of a strange, frantic murmuring coming from one of the doors. Tails couldn't help but approach the door, knowing that something wasn't right.

Tails knocked on the door, and in a blur of movement, the door swung open and Tails was pulled inside. Tails was met with a horrifying glare from bloodshot eyes. The figure spoke in a raspy, exhausted voice.

"If your here to kill me, go ahead, but don't you dare mess with my numbers."
