************************************************************************
"So that's the story?" Sonic asked focusing on Silver who told Sonic the whole story about him wanting to escape "Well….Silver" Sonic said as he put his hand on the back of his head
"I know I can't do it, but Sonic I really want to see him; I can't just be going around for the rest of my life, with his eyes being the only thing to remind me of him!" Silver was standing up now
"But Silver I can't let you guys out, it's dangerous out there and its are job to protect you"
"PROTECT US?! You guys treat us like toys, I saw someone kissing one of the kids the other day! And I don't even want to know what you guys do to them when you go into those rooms. You call that protecting?" Silver yelled, Sonic was taken aback as were his friends
Silver was breathing heavily, yes he felt bad for yelling at Sonic because he is like one of the coolest masters around but… protecting? No, not a chance well that's what Silver thought
"Silver…" Sonic said again but this time he sounded guilty, he didn't know what to say, what Silver said was true
"I-I'm sorry Sonic, I just" Silver started breathing heavily again and a tear fell out, everyone knew that this was probably extremely embarrassing for poor Silver, crying in front of the Master and to top it off his friends
"It's ok come here" Sonic said as he opened his arms for a hug, with no hesitation Silver ran in and grasped Sonic tightly and closed his eyes
Sonic rubbed Silver's back in a caring way, Robbie looked down sadly, he hated seeing Silver upset, Christopher also had a sad face on and he's not the one to feel bad for others
Silver kept blowing breaths into Sonics ear making it twitch, but Sonic didn't stop him he just held him closer.
Silver stopped crying and was sitting on Sonics lap just making little whimpers, he buried his head in Sonics chest which was a little damp from tears, and breathed into it
It was about twelve o' clock now and they were surprised no one had heard Silver's crying and came in to investigate, Silver looked up at Sonic, as he wiped off Silvers tears with his thumb then kissed his forehead slightly
Sonic didn't know what to do, he hated Silver being upset but if he let Silver go he could get hurt or something, all three of them could, then Sonic would defiantly lose his job, and he loved his job, plus to top it off he would lose them also and he could never live with himself.
"Sonic I won't go if you don't want me to…I'll just try to forget about it" Silver said looking up at him
"Silver I don't want you to forget about it but, you have to understand if I let you go, you and your friends could get hurt, and I would die if something happened to you" Silver looked down sadly, he wanted to find Shadow but he didn't want to hurt Sonic in any way
"Master Sonic maybe you could come with us" Robbie said while getting up and forming his hands into fists'
"What?" Sonic asked
"Yea, you can make sure we don't get hurt, you'll know where we are at all times and you'll have money if needed" Silver said smiling a little then sniffing
"But I can't leave my job, what about all the kids"
"Sonic dude there's like how many Masters here, I'm sure the kids would be fine" Christopher said, Sonic just sat there open mouthed not knowing what to say
"But what about my job they'll know I'll be missing"
"Ask for a vacation" Silver said
"Well, I haven't got a vacation in like a year, maybe this could work" Everyone smiled "But" Sonic said causing smiles to go down "They'll also notice if you guys left" They looked at each other
Silver's ears flattened again as he frowned, no one had thought of that, he started whimpering again as his put his head down onto Sonics shoulder
"Ok, why don't you guys go to bed and I'll see what I can do ok?" They all looked at Sonic then nodded, Silver was a little disappointed that they couldn't leave tonight, but then at the same time happy because now Sonic was on his side!

Silver woke up to see all the guys gone again, this is mostly what happened every morning, Silver woke up and everyone else was gone because he usually slept in.
Silver sat up and rubbed his eyes, he then yawned as he slowly moved over to sit with his feet on the floor so he could get ready to go out again.
Silver put on his boots, and walked over in front of the mirror straightening out his quills yet again, when there was a knock at his door, he of course expected it to be Robbie but instead stood Christopher tapping his foot
"Finally" Chris said while staring at Silver
"It didn't take me that long to get from the mirror to the door, why are you saying "finally"?"
"I've been waiting here for a long time"
"Well why didn't you knock?"
"I did but uh never mind, your friend said he wanted to meet up with us now come on" Chris said while pulling Silver out of the room, not caring to close the door
Silver and Chris were speed walking towards the exercise room again when they got stopped
"Where are you two headed?" Both of them froze up and looked behind them to see….Sonic
"Oh Sonic dude you scared me I thought it was Master Sage because of the" Chris started mumbling after that and they couldn't really comprehend him "Whoo but your not him anyway what's up Sonic?" Sonic just stood there staring at him
"Uh well I found out how we can escape" Sonic said while placing his arms behind his head
"Really?" Silver asked excitedly
"Yep I had to tell them that you were getting suspended from the top floors"
"Wait, what?" Christopher asked skeptically
"Well it was the only thing I could do to let us escape"
"Well wouldn't someone be going down to check on us?"
"Yes, but lucky for me it was my turn to work down there"
"But you said you would ask to take a vacation" Silver asked recalling what Sonic had said, he stared for a second
"Oh shoot"
"You mean there's no other way?" Chris asked
"I don't know" Sonic said looking down, Silver sighed
"We better go see what Robbie wants" Silver said as he stared walking again, followed by the other two.
They walked in to see kids working out, playing games, and masters watching over them, Robbie was over by the towel bin again waiting when Silver and the others walked over
"Hey Robbie" Silver said while leaning onto the tub making it move a little because of the wheels on the bottom
"Hey guys" he greeted "Have any of you found out a way to escape yet?" Robbie asked while dodging a basketball coming his way
"Well we thought we had one but it was just a flaw" Silver answered sadly
"Hey its ok we'll think of something" Sonic said comforting him, Sonics ears then perked up
"Huh what's wrong?" Robbie asked noticing Sonics sudden happening
"Hold on" Sonic said while walking over to the doors
"Um ok, we'll be here" Chris said
Sonic pushed the heavy doors open then started down the hallway, he hoped this would work, it had better or there might not be anymore chances for the four.
He opened another set of doors that led into the kitchen; he walked past a couple of children and a master who stared at him strangely, while Sonic just merely shook his head towards him and continued on.
Sonic got to a room, where all the masters hung out at, once there break came; the azure hedgehog sped up and walked towards two guys talking to each other.
"Hey where's Scourge?" Sonic asked
"Uh, I think he said he was going to be in the gym" a red echidna named Knuckles said while taking a sip of some coke
"Aw you got to be, ugh see you guys later" Sonic then sped out of the room causing people to turn heads, Knuckles sighed
"What?" a deer named Zach asked, while taking a sip of his drink.
"He just never stays around long enough to hear the rest of anything, Scourge is in the bathroom" At that moment a green hedgehog came out, looked around, then walked towards the couch to watch T.V.
Sonic sped down the hallways, through the kitchen while almost slipping on some spilled water, and into the exercise room again, when he saw Silver and the guys sitting there chatting
Sonic walked over towards another master that was teaching a boy how to play slapJack
"Hey have you seen Scourge around in here?" Sonic asked as the bobcat looked up at him
"Yea he was in here earlier but he left" Sonics mouth fell wide open
"What?" Sonic asked hoping he just heard wrong but had a strong feeling he didn't
--- Two years ago (when Silver and Robby met Christopher)
Robbie and Silver were running down the corridors playing tag, they have become good friends since they first met in the infirmary, and now Robbie was glad he got the job that day.
He told Silver about when the day they met each other, before he went into the infirmary, he kept complaining about not wanting to do that job. That made them giggle a little
Silver tagged Robbie's shoulder and started running again when the door flew open and hit poor Silver in the face. He flew back and landed on the ground.
"Oops sorry" Said a golden retriever coming out a room
"It's ok" Silver said while getting up and rubbing his nose, Robbie ran over to make sure his friend was alright
"What's up? My names Christopher" he said while smirking and pointing to himself with his thumb
"Oh hi Christopher my names Silver and this is Robby"
"Yea so, what are you guys doing?" he asked staring at them strangely
"Oh were playing tag, want to join?" Silver asked as his child excitement kicked in wanting to get a new friend
"Uh, nuh-uh" Silver's ears folded back "But hey do you want try something with me?" Christopher asked almost in a whisper
"Ok" Both of them said while jumping a little
"Alright follow me, and you have to stay quiet" the pup said while opening the same door he came out of a little
"Alright" the both said in a temperate tone making Chris shush them "Come on"
All three of them walked in quietly, looking around to see what they could spot in the unfamiliar room, Christopher ran just a little bit to a desk that he started snooping through
"Uh Christopher, what are you doing?" Robbie asked in a troubled tone
"Just seeing what treasures they have in here, now go guard the door" Chris answered pulling things out, and observing different objects with a little flashlight, making a mess on the table
"But I"
"I said go guard" Robbie knew this was bad, but he didn't know what else to do, Silver was also snooping around picking up various objects that he could hardly see because of the dark room.
"Uh Christopher what's this?" Silver asked holding something up that he couldn't see well, he could just see the outline of the object, Chris stopped what he was looking at and lit up the object with the small amount of light he had
Silver held up the object he was holding that turned out to be a thong that one of the masters wore.
"Hmm what's this?" Silver asked not really knowing since he lived with a bunch of guys
"Uh I don't know" Chris said
"It kind of looks like a slingshot"
"Cool let's test it out!" Chris jumped out of the chair, grabbed an eraser and ran over towards the hedgehog holding the 'slingshot' "Here" Chris put the eraser in while Silver pulled
"Silver wasn't thinking straightly and let go of the weapon sending the eraser towards the door right when Robbie ran in
"Guys one of the ma- OUCH!" Robbie got hit in the throat, he stepped back clutching it and gasping for breath
"Oh no! Robbie are you ok? I'm sorry!" Silver said running towards him then holding onto his arm, Robbie just made small noises then pointed outside to show a master closer to the door
"Chris!" Silver whispered "a masters coming!" Chris's good canine ears picked that up easily, he looked around then saved himself by scurrying under the desk
Silver looked around then pulled Robbie over to the side of the room, quickly trying to look and feel his way to at least a doorknob or a place to crouch in that covered both him and Robbie.
Silver walked into a little corner, he felt around him and felt the wall on his left and a file cabinet on his right
"Here!" He said as he crouched down and pulled Robbie with him, right when the lights turned back on
They sat there as quiet as they could manage when they heard a voice talking
"Oh no I'm serious, you did look adorable in that chemise" there was a pause "Oh I know baby but It's my turn to work with the sick kids tomorrow" the master sat down at his desk "What the?" Chris could hear a slight voice coming from the cell phone "No, no not you, my desk is a mess" Chris' hearing picked up what the guy on the other line was saying
"How many times do I have to tell you to clean up after yourself Scourge?" Sonic asked with a slight chuckle coming from him
"No I swear it was clean when I…What in the world is that thong doing down there?" Scourge asked as he looked at the previous "weapon"
"What, a thong?" Sonic said a little uncomfortable with that word, since he has never used a thong towards Scourge
"Uh it's nothing, it was just a-a gift yea!"
"Scourge…"
"What?" Sonic sighed
"It's nothing, so anyway what time will you be done with the kids?"
"I-I don't know Sonic" Scourge said while rubbing his temples and spinning in his twisting office chair, he heard Sonic let out a whine "B-But, hey listen how about I take you on a date if I have some free time or the day after tomorrow. How's that sound?"
"Ok I guess"
"That's a good boy; I'll talk to you later ok?"
"Alright love you"
"I love you too bye-bye" Scourge then hung up the phone, then laid his head down on the untidy desk "What am I going to do with him?" he asked himself
Silver and Robbie looked at each other worriedly as they tried to plan an escape route
'I wonder how Chris is doing?" Silver thought as he looked over only to come face-to-face with the side of the file cabinet
"I need a drink" Scourge said as he got up and walked towards the door
Chris blew out a silent sigh of relief once he heard that and saw him get up
"Ok he's about to leave" Silver whispered, he looked over at Robbie and his eyes widened "R-Robbie, don't move" Silver said nervously
"W-Why?" Robbie asked seeing his expression, he turned his head
"N-No Robbie don't" but Silver was too late
"AAARRRGGG SPIDER!!!!" Robbie jumped up, and started running around the room making Scourge's head rotate quickly
"What the?" Scourge asked
"MOVE WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED RUN AWAY!" Chris yelled getting up and running towards the door followed by Silver, who grabbed Robbie's arm and pulled him towards the door
"Wait a second!" Scourge said stopping them, then grabbing Chris' arm
"CHILD ABUSE!!! CHILD MOLESTATION!!!" Chris yelled while trying to get out of his grip
"RUN ROBBIE, RUN!!!!" Silver yelled running out of the door with Robbie closes behind, while Scourge was focused on Chris
"HEY YOU TWO GET BACK HERE!!!"
"We're going to be in big trouble" Silver said in-between pants
"Yea, I knew that guy would be trouble the minute I laid my eyes on him"
"Oh no! Christopher, we have to go back and help him!" Silver said
"Are you crazy!?! He's the one who got us in trouble! Plus if you ask me, he's getting what he deserves" Robbie said while crossing his arms
"Come on Robbie, please he's an animal just like you and me" Robbie sighed
"Fine" Silver smiled, then dragged Robbie back over to the door
"HELP!!!" Chris screamed as he tried to fight off Scourge with a baseball bat
"Chris, come on while you have the chance! RUN!" Silver screamed through the door, Chris looked over then dashed over to it, while Scourge stood there confused
"Hurry, come on!" Silver said pulling them both while running
"Thanks a lot Silver, you have guts!" Chris said
"Hey, you didn't even say anything to me!" Robbie said
"Why? You probably tried to stop him from helping me" Chris said, while staring daggers at him
"Well, I guess you got that right" Robbie said, looking away
Silver just rolled his eyes and grinned, while running to find a secure place, with his new friends.
