Cha.2
It took Sonic a few minutes to get the hedgehog home since he was carrying him on his back. When Sonic entered his house he carefully laid the wounded hedgehog onto the bed, "it's alright, pal," he reassured in a soft tone, "you'll be alright!"
Sonic placed his ear near the hedgehog's mouth and he listened for his breathing. The good news was that the breathing was normal and he sighed in relief as he studied the hedgehog's features and wounds, 'who would do such a thing?' he thought, 'either someone did something to piss off or he was abused. Why?'
Sonic walked into the bathroom and he pulled out all of the painkillers, antibiotics and bandages that he had and he left the bathroom. He sat down on his knees and he began to study each and every medicine as he tried to decide which would work best on injuries that the hedgehog was carrying.
'Dammit, it's all for minor aches!' Sonic thought and threw the bottles to the ground, 'what do I do?' he thought, 'besides wrap them and clean them.'
Sonic gave off a sigh and he began to clean the hedgehog's wounds anyway and he stood up, studying the hedgehog once more, "his color is interesting. I've never seen a red and black hedgehog before!" he gasped, "wait a minute!"
He ran up to the T.V and he switched it on the news as he began to pull out old newspapers. He swiftly turned the pages to the 'missing people' category and he skimmed the images, "it's him! I'm sure of it! Shadow the hedgehog, age 18. Damn almost everything else is unknown about him. Just his name, age, weight and height are listed!" Sonic drew his attention to the T.V.
"Almost a month ago, Shadow the hedgehog never returned home after leaving work at midnight. Today is the last search for him and I have the head of the detective squad here with me today."
"Thank you, scarlet."
"Can you explain why this will be your last search?"
"Well, to be honest, they are a lot of insane people out there and we all believe that if it's been over a month then he's dead for sure. This isn't the first time someone's been kidnapped after work and, like some, he might return. Harmed or not."
Sonic turned off the T.V and he looked at Shadow, "Shadow, who are you?" he sighed and he walked into the kitchen, "I better give him something to eat and drink."
He opened the frig and he pulled out a bottle of water and sat it to the side for now. He opened a cub board and he pulled out a container of soup, 'here we go,' he thought as he poured it into a bowl and slid it into a microwave. When the microwave shut off, Sonic pulled the bowl out and he walked back out into the living room with the soup and the bottle of water in his hands.
Pulling a chair up beside the couch, he sat down and he mixed the soup up again and he placed some onto the spoon and he placed it near the hedgehog's mouth.
Groaning some, Shadow managed to eat it and Sonic smiled, 'good. He can still eat,' he thought and he continued to feed the hedgehog.
