Chapter 1

Blaze POV

"We there yet?" I asked as we drove under a freeway under pass.

"Yeah, we actually are." Said my partner, Detective Sonic.

I am Detective Blaze of M.V.U, AKA "Mobiun Victim Unit". A special branch of the police force that handles investigations and crimes involving Mobiuns, or anyone that isn't human. We are only allowed to handle case with Mobiuns, however, if the case involves humans, then we and the other human Units, collaborate on it.

My partner, Sonic, was a blue hedgehog with green emerald eyes. He was a fast one, but sometimes get a little too cocky when it comes to cases. He is a good detective, but needs to listen instead of talk.

"What is the case this time?" he asked as we got out of the car. We were investigating a murder case of a echidna. The crime scene had other police officers and investigators there. We were called in because me and my partner solve the cases the best and fastest. Actually me and my other partners in M.V.U solve them quickly too.

"Murder of a echidna, his name is Michael West, 36 years old." I responded as I held up the case file. We had to look at the crime scene to see for any clues about the murder's aware bouts.

"Damn, that is somewhat young." Said Sonic as we went to the medical practitioner, Dr. Amy Rose. A pink hedgehog with emerald green eyes. She always had an upbeat mood, even when we are on a case.

"So doc, what happened to the victim?" I asked as sonic went to lift the cover off of him.

"Front part of his face was bashed in; it was with this metal pipe." Said Dr. Amy as she showed me a pipe in a plastic bag. I held it and it was heavy, I'm surprised she lifted it up without signs of effort.

"Poor bastard," said Sonic as he looked at the victim.

"Any thing else?" I asked as I gave her back the pipe.

"Multiple bruises and scars on the upper body and the back of his head. The scars were caused by a meat cleaver, who ever did this wanted him feel it."

"Fuck, man." Said Sonic as he listened, he wasn't used to these kind of cases so he was uncomfortable when he heard the details of it. He usually handled assault and hit and run cases, and stuff like that. I, however, was used to this kind of stuff.

"Well cover your ears blue, it gets worse. He also has 3 fingers missing and everything below his left knee is gone." Continued Dr. Amy.

"Stop talking about it, I don't want to hear anymore." Said Sonic as his face was a little green. He really hated working murder cases.

"Well leave then, I'm not forcing you to stay and hear." I said to him.

"Well you are actually." He said back to me.

I gave him a glare and he stood back and he said, "Sorry, but you actually are forcing me to stay ."

"Anything clues you have about the suspect?" I asked as I turned back to Amy, ignoring Sonic's remark.

"Just one." She said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a plastic bag with a claw in it.

"It's a hedgehog claw, looks like our boy put up a fight before he got his face beat in." said Amy.

"Ok, ill wait in the car. I don't want to hear anymore." Said Sonic as he left us. When he started to hear gruesome details about a case he would leave to the car.

"Bye," said Amy and I as he left.

"You guys going to do a DNA test on the claw?" I asked.

"Yup, when we get back to the lab. Its going to be the first thing I do." Replied Amy.

"Good, because I want this day to be over. I heard there is a Law and Order marathon on, and I don't want to mi-"

"YOU STOP!"

Me and Amy turned around and we saw Sonic chasing after someone.

"I got to take this." I said as I ran with Sonic.

The person that Sonic was chasing looked to be a echidna, he had yellow fur and wore a jacket.

"I saw the fucker pull out a gun on me, he pulled the trigger but it jammed." Said Sonic as he ran. He doesn't get tired when he runs, he can run for hours and not sweat a little bit. He is also fast so it was hard for me to catch up with him.

We chased him down till we reached an alley; he stopped just before he reached the wall.

"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS WEAR WE CAN SEE THEM!" I yelled as he turned towards us.

Our guns were drawn, I had a M9, and Sonic always carried a Colt.45. The suspect looked at us, but didn't do anything. I grabbed my walkie talkie and said, "This is Detective Blaze of M.V.U, we have a suspect that pulled out a gun on us at the crime scene, we are at the corner of Bridgestone and Galloway."

"WE SAID PUT THEM UP!" yelled Sonic as the suspect backed away until his back reached the wall.

We stared at him, and he stared at us, he didn't put up his hands. He quickly put his hand inside his coat, but I quickly shot him in the left leg.

"AGH!" he screamed as he fell to the floor.

"Shots fired, suspect down." I said back into the radio.

Me and Sonic went to the fallen echidna and took off his coat, we found a fully loaded G18 with fully automatic firing in his pocket.

He grabbed his leg and said, "You stupid bitch! You shot me!"

I picked him up and said, "Well this bitch wouldn't have to shoot you if you put your hands up."

Sonic then read his rights, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law…"

4:18, M.V.U HQ

"Why were you at the crime scene?" asked Sonic to the suspect.

The suspect was Darren the Echidna, he was a the average street thug, from what we pulled up from his rap sheet. It was surprising to see him do something like this.

"You want to know why? Cause I wanted to make sure that snitch Michael is dead." He replied back to him.

"So you killed him?" I said as I sat across from him, the only thing between us other than Sonic, was the metal table.

He slammed his hands on the table and said, "Yeah I killed him, because he got my brother thrown in jail. Snitches get stitches. Bitch."

Sonic then grabbed him by his hair and said, "You say sorry to her right now, or you will be losing more than a claw!"

I quickly got up and separated them and told Sonic, "Its ok, I'm used to this kind of bullshit." I was actually. I have been called a lot of names in my line of work.

He breathed in and out and said, "All right."

I sat back down at my chair and said, "Well thanks to you, we have a confession. I hope you like electro therapy." I said as I brought out a tape that I hid under the table. Killing another being in this country brings the death penalty. But if a human kills a Mobiun, and vice-versa, the death penalty is much worse. It can range from stoning, drowned, gang-like beat down, etc.

His face went into shock and said, "No, NO!"

He started to cry and said, "Look I'm sorry, give me another chance!"

Sonic nodded his head no and said, "Should've thought about that before. You know the punishments for murder."

Our friend and police officer, Sergeant Knuckles, came in to take the echidna. Knuckles was a red echidna with purple eyes and a over sized build. He was one of the strongest members of M.V.U, he can be stupid at times, but he makes up for it in his strength and handiness.

"Come on." He said as he grabbed Darren. Darren then started to kick and scream as he was dragged out. He started to scream, "YOU STUPID BITCH! ITS ALL YOUR FAUGHT! YOU AND YOUR BASTARD PARTNER! ROT IN HELL!"

"SHUT UP!" yelled Knuckles as he landed a right hook across Darren's nose. Darren was no knocked out cold.

"Kid needed to shut the fuck up for a bit." Mumbled Knuckles as he dragged him out to a holding cell.

Me and Sonic then left the interrogation room, he said to me, "Another bust, another day."

I smiled and said, "Yup, but you need to get used to working murder cases." I told him.

"That is because you have worked this gig for about 10 years. I only been working here for 1 year." He said back to me.

I was the oldest one to be working as a detective, 29. That may seem young, but no one likes to be the detective here. I actually like the job, and so do my friends. I may be the oldest detective, but the oldest one to work at M.V.U is probably Espio, who is around 54 years old now. He is a purple chameleon, quiet and nice. He is always seen meditating when he is not working on a case with us.

"Nice bust." Said Silver, a Silver looking hedgehog with yellow eyes, like mine. He was my boyfriend for a bit, until he cheated on me with some girl named Nicole. We are friends, but we don't talk a lot anymore. I don't hate him, its just that I don't trust him anymore. He is also a detective, same age in years as me, but a few months younger. He is nice, but a bit naïve at times.

"Thanks, you guys work any cases today?" I asked. His partner is charmy, a young bee.

"No, Charmy called in sick today, leaving me with all this damn paper work." He said as he showed me a folder with a huge stack of paper inside of it.

"When he gets back I am going to dump what ever shit I didn't finish." He said as he put the stack on his desk.

I laughed a bit and said, "K then, see you later."

I walked back to my desk and drank a little bit of water. Coffee doesn't work with me, especially the kind they serve at the office. Tastes bitter most of the time. Coffee doesn't work with me good because I am a pyrokinetic, meaning I control fire. When I drink coffee my powers get a little haywire. Doesn't happen with soda, I don't know why. Probably the cream in the coffee.

"Hey Blaze!" I heard a voice call from behind me. I looked back and saw my good friend, Miles "Tails" Prower. He was a young fox, about 23, with 2 Tails and yellow fur.

"Hey Tails, how is it going?"I asked back with a smile. When ever I see him it is always brings a smile to my face. Probably because he always peppy all the time.

"Blaze I got something big! I got a way to intercept cell phone signals, without hacking into them!" he said. He was been working on that kind of stuff for a long time. I got up and said, "Nice! When can we use it?"

"When the board authorizes us to do so. Its still in its beta stages, but it has potential." He said back to me with a smile.

"BLAZE! BLAZE!" I heard Sonic shout for me as he ran up the stairs.

"What?!" I said quickly as I looked at him, he never calls my name that loudly unless it's a emergency.

He looked at me with a smile and said, "They caught Dr. Eggman…"

I am attemting to do more "serious" writing, so bare with me on this one. Leave a review to tell me what you think of it so far!
