"So he just left?" Sonic asked. Shadow nodded. "Then why don't we go after him?"

"Sonic, Scourge doesn't want us around chasing him would cause him to use drastic measures."

"Such as?"

"Suicide is on the list...we have to let him lead his own life."

"But he's going in the wrong direction"

"Sonic I know what I'm talking about. Now help me look for it."

"For what?"

"Look if Scourge was taking anything he'd eventually run out and would've had to make or find more. So help me look for a stash kay?"

"Umm...o...Kay..." The blue Hedgehog gave a confused look but started looking. "I've found something!" he said after a few minutes. Shadow noticed a white powder.

"Heroin..." Shadow whispered.

"Bad right?"

"Yes but not the worst thankfully"

"What the worst?"

"Meth...and hopefully Scourge hasn't tried it or we're in trouble."

"Why? I mean I know it's bad but why especially?"

"Because not many people survive more than a year and it's nearly impossible to beat a meth addiction once it starts...its cheap too and need be Scourge could make his own."

"So this is why you freaked on him huh?"

"No Sonic."

"Then?"

"You stay here I'll find him."

"But...you said chasing him..."

"He won't know I'm fallowing him."

"Shadow...don't go! I've been alone most of my life I don't wanna be alone anymore. If you go after him I know something bad is gonna happen." Sonic hung on to Shadow's wrist.

"Let me go Sonic."

"Shadow..."

"Don't make me use your full name."

"I don't care! You said Scourge could handle himself."

"I lied, now let go Olgilvie Maurice Hedgehog." Sonic glared but let go.

"Bring him back Shadow." The blue hedgehog whispered giving his older brother a hug. Shadow nodded.

"I will. If mom calls tell her me and Scourge are fishing kay?"

"Alright. Sayanora Shadow." Shadow nodded before leaving. Sonic sighed. "I call top bunk..." He whispered to himself as a tear started to fall.

Uh oh! Will Shadow find Scourge? Will Sonic survive the loneness? Will Bernadette find out? REVIEW! And you'll find out...
