I don't own Sega! Sorry, it took me three weeks to realize that I second chapter I actually put up was the wrong document. Here's where I'm going to start bringing in the characters.

A young golden-yellow fox looks up at the ceiling from a hospital bed, the shadow of the moon poured in through a window to his left. The sound of a police car sounded off only to be followed by gun shot and then silence.
Sitting here I'm still wondering how I got into this mess. But when I start thinking I remember the three days of work it took with one of my rivals, the fist down, and half-an-hour until I was stabilized at the hospital. But I'm not the one I'm concerned about.
Three Days and a half-an-hour before . . .
Tails looked up at a clock, it was eight at night. The ticking sound was louder then it should have been. Tails' white-gloved hands were on an oak-wood desk he'd gotten a few years back from his friend Sonic. The door leading to a hallway had large black print on them:
Micheal "Tails" Prower- Private Investigator
Tails sat in his office, he'd gotten a job earlier but it had been a child's errand. A small time robbery that only took three hours, school had been canceled because the school principle had been shot three times in the heart. Unfortunately Shadow had taken that case first and got it done in no time, the man's son had done it during his high school break. Shadow tracked him done and that had been that.
Shadow had been taking half my jobs since he came around three months ago, he done great things for the city sure, but just for once I'd like him to slow down. Some day I will find out who has making sure of that!
Just then a knock came at his office door. Tails straighten up, hopeful for a job, he called out, "come in."
Tails saw Sally Acorn come into the room; he eyes looked about ready to burst into tear. She rushed over to Tails. "Tails, Sonic's missing I haven't seen him for six days, the police are searching for him but we all know they're powerless!"
Tails pulled up a chair from the other side of the room; he closed the door and took out a notepad. "Alright Sally, tell me everything."
Sally began telling him everything, "well he was working this case about this small-time gang. He was going out to make an arrest and he didn't come back."
I'd heard this story one-too-many times and I had every idea to get into this case, good thing I knew where to start this time. Sonic and Sally sort-of raised me. I never learned until I was seven that his gang had caused my family's "accident" and why he'd quit the group.
Tails looked at Sally, "I'll do the job for two hundred bucks just because he's a friend."
. . . . .
After a quick pay from Sally and giving her a fast reassurance I headed for the one place I knew I'd get information, the dirty cops that Sonic worked with.
Tails walks down the streets to the police department; he stepped through the doors to the second-in-command, Jet the Hawk, Micheal handed him a twenty dollar bill. "Hey Jet, I need info on Sonic's location and places of last week uptil now."
Jet took the twenty and looked around, "alright seven days ago Sonic was just fine but before he disappeared he went on this case about the South Street Gang. I haven't seen him since."
Micheal froze and held up a ten, "keep this silent Jet, I don't want the media getting a whiff of this."
Jet took the money, "I don't know who the detective was on his case, but I know it wasn't you." Micheal just looked at him and left.
South Street was the name of Sonic's old gang, he ditched and hadn't gone back since, but all the police know is that Sonic was in a group but no one had a clue that Sonic was implicated in a gang. If anyone had any clue of this the media would swam and Sonic's cases would be questioned. As much as I hated it I need an unreliable, completely drunk person to tell me who the detective was, but I already had an idea.
Tails walked up to The Golden Rise, a tavern, he went inside and located the person he was looking for, Amy Rose.
The good thing about this town is that the age limit for drinking is ten, very few people in this town are clean-or don't have something to do with the mafia or any gang- I'm trying to stay that way and I'm wondering how long I'll last or if its actually working.
Tails walked up to Amy and called her name; she turned around and looked at Tails. "Tails, Sonic missing I knew you'd start searching around."
He sat down and started, "Amy I need help; do you know who was the detective that was working the South Street case with Sonic?"
Amy hesitated and looked like she was thinking then she looked at him, "Shadow was the detective. He was talking with Sonic at the tavern Shadow frequents, The Dark Mist on the other side of town."
Tails nodded and looked at Amy, "I need you to keep this silent, it could ruin everything he's done for this city." Amy looked curious but she nodded and didn't ask why.
I quickly got out of the tavern and headed across town, Shadow was my next target but I actually wasn't surprised. Shadow and Sonic had been rivals since the first day they met. If it wasn't open hostility and challenges from Sonic it was death threats from Shadow. Very few people could take their arguments anymore; Shadow must have carried out his threats.
Tails walked into the tavern and saw his target, Shadow. He was playing at a pool table with three other guys. All three of them looked drunk, only Shadow looked sober but by the way he was holding his pool stick it wasn't hard to tell that he'd been drinking as well. Tails saw the other three men walk off and Tails walked right up to Shadow.
