'If you're going to follow someone, then you really should learn to be better at it.' Tails said, turning to face the two figures behind him, holding his hands casually away from his sides as he scrutinised the pair. One was a Rhino with a scar on his cheek and the other was a Falcon, who's eyes narrowed at him from behind his sharp beak.
Ramm and Quick... He thought, recognising them from the evening that he'd spent hacking into the CyberCity Security Force mainframe a few days ago, just to keep himself in the loop.
'Listen, guys. It's been a long day and I don't want any trouble. All I want is to get back to my workshop and order a pizza. I don't suppose you'd give me break...?'
'Not really.' Quick said, turning his talons to catch the light and Tails sighed.
'Oh, well. I guess we'll just have to get on with it...'
Spinning his twin-tails that gave him his nickname, he launched himself towards Quick, his punch knocking him back against the wall.
'You little...' Quick snarled, springing back to his feet faster than Tails expected and lashing out with a kick, the blow lifting him off his feet. He rolled as he hit the ground and came up in a fighting crouch, shaking his head as Quick lunged towards him with his talons extended. Dodging the blow, Tails caught his arm and twisted into a shoulder throw that slammed Quick to the ground. With a roar of rage, Ramm charged towards him with his head down and Tails dropped flat, his hand breaking his fall as his swept Ramm's legs out from under him, sending him crashing to the ground with a thump that he felt through his teeth and he flipped back to his feet. Quick scowled up at him from where he lay, but Tails turned his back and strolled out of the alley.
Just another night in Cyber City...
