Aliciathewolf45: I uploaded! Rejoice!
Dragon'z Wrath: Nothing satisfies you huh? Just to let you know that separations between dialogues are between characters, not every time someone speaks. Not trying to hate, but I hate people tell me I'm writing dialogue wrong on the basis of that each form of speech must be indented. The only time you indent in dialogue is when a new character speaks, change of scenes since the character has last spoken, or a paragraph has been formed.
Lunawaterdragon: Thanks! The secret agent won't be revealed till the end, but keep a lookout!
Mewfatima: That's the point I was trying to do! I love when stories/movies make you start rooting for the bad guys until you sit back and think, "Why the hell am I supporting the criminals?" Thanks!
Silver was sitting in a metal, interrogation room waiting to be questioned. However, Silver got impatient and decided to break out now. He was going to try and toy with them to send them off course, but this was taking way too long. Silver still had the inhibitor bracelets on and handcuffs that had his arms pinned behind him. Silver pushed away from the table and flipped over his chair so his hands were now in front of him. Good thing he was double-jointed. He pushed his chair to the window (that was conveniently left open; no doubt by the Emissary) and climbed on top of it. Silver grabbed the ledge of the window and pulled himself up. Silver shimmied against the walls before jumping into some bushes. He felt something poke his side and looked to see the key to the handcuffs.
"Thank you Emissary." Silver whispered and he unlocked his handcuffs. Silver removed the bracelets and quickly tested his powers.
"No doubt they're going to break in tonight. We have one of them so now we have to get the others." Silver peeked through the bushes to see Espio and Sonic walking towards the interrogation room. Silver smirked as he summoned his powers around his hands. He lifted both agents off the ground before smacking them into the wall and sticking them there.
"As much as I loved this little detour, I have a vacation enjoy." Silver said as Espio and Sonic struggled against the wall. Silver glared at Espio before taking off into the city.
"This is your fault." Espio muttered as Sonic growled at him. The team was currently in their hotel room prepping for tonight's mission when Silver swung in through the window.
"What's up, guys?" Silver asked before Blaze ran into his arms. Silver was a bit caught off guard but he wrapped his arms around her and smiled softly.
"Good. You're here. I had the Emissary help you out." Shadow said as Silver pouted.
"I could have done it by myself!" Silver exclaimed as Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, let's just bust this mission out." Shadow said.
"How about we wait two days? They definitely think we're going to do it tonight." Silver said as Tails sighed.
"Fine, let's wait two more days." Tails said as Blaze patted his shoulder.
"Look at this as an opportunity to create a more sure-fire mission." Blaze said as Tails nodded. Shadow looked at his shut off phone and frowned a bit. He couldn't believe that he was actually missing Amy. It's been four days cold turkey. Maybe he should call her. No! He had to focus on the mission. No room for distractions. Back in Station Square Amy was sitting in coffee shop with Cream.
"So, how are things with Shadow?" Cream asked.
"I'm not making enough leeway! I know he's in Paris and he turned his phone off. There's no way I can contact him to try and throw him off. I can only hope he's thinking about me enough." Amy said resting her chin on her hand.
"Mhmm and how was the date?" Cream asked sipping her coffee. Amy raised her eyebrow at the bunny rabbit who just smiled sweetly.
"It was…nice." Amy said. Who was she kidding? It was the best date she's ever been on! It sucked that it had to be a part of work not in actuality. But, c'mon, even if Amy had met Shadow outside of this whole mission, Amy wouldn't bring herself down to date a thief. She worked for the good guys! The guys that stopped guys like Shadow! Amy couldn't possibly date someone like Shadow in real life.
"That's it?" Cream asked snapping Amy back into reality.
"What do you want me to say, Cream? 'Oh my God! I just had the dreamiest date with the criminal I'm trying to arrest!' Yeah, that's just great." Amy said sarcastically as Cream rolled her eyes.
"I need to see these dates for myself." Cream muttered. Amy laughed softly as she took a sip from her coffee. Amy's eyes widened with a sudden idea that popped into her head.
"We should double date!" Amy exclaimed as Cream raised her eyebrow.
"You do realize I'm single." Cream said.
"Shadow has friends! He can get one of his friends and we can double date. We could double-team them and distract both guys enough to fuck up!" Amy said excited over her new idea.
"Oh good, now I get to date a criminal." Cream said sarcastically.
"Oh c'mon, it's not like you guys are actually going to start dating. Just humor me." Amy said as Cream sighed.
"Fine, I haven't been on a date in forever. It'll be good to actually go on one." Cream said as Amy smiled happily. Two days later in Paris, the team was preparing for their mission.
"All right, so I perfected the disguising watch." Tails said with his headset already on his head.
"Haven't found a better name for it?" Silver asked slipping on his black gloves.
"Nope, but you can remained disguised for a complete 24 hours now." Tails said handing the three watches to Shadow, Blaze, and Silver.
"Sweet," Blaze said wrapping the watch on her wrist. They all turned their watches and turned into human security guards.
"All right, let's head out." Shadow said as they all left besides Tails who began hacking into the Louvre's mainframe. Blaze grabbed her spy goggles and observed the roofs and close corners where Sonic and Espio could be hiding.
"Sonic is on the very top lying on his stomach and Espio is inside at the highest, middle window." Blaze whispered as Silver cracked his fingers. Silver pulled out a sniper gun and aimed it at Sonic.
"I'm about to let this douche have it." Silver said before shooting a sleeping dart at him. The three watched as Sonic reached for his neck before his arm hung off the edge. "Time to get, Pinky." Silver said as Blaze threw a smoke bomb in the middle of the grounds. Espio rushed out of the window and Silver quickly took him down. Shadow raced over and caught him before he Chaos Controlled to where Sonic was. Shadow dropped Espio next to Sonic before Chaos Controlling back to the other two. They entered the museum casually before splitting up. Shadow walked towards the archives and swiped an ID card of a passing guard. Shadow walked down into the archives and waited for Blaze and Silver. Silver arrived and then Blaze before Shadow reached for his walkie-talkie that was on his shoulder.
"Tails, are the cameras and lasers out?" Shadow asked.
"Cameras are out, but the lasers around the emerald don't work on a computer basis. You'll have to figure out a way around them." Tails explained as Shadow nodded. Shadow swiped the ID badge of the guard and the doors opened revealing the emerald.
"Blaze," Shadow said as Blaze snapped her fingers to conjure and small flame on the end of her finger. Blaze blew air through the fire to create a light smoke to reveal the lasers. Blaze turned her watch to return to her normal self and quickly stretched. Blaze began to slink through the lasers like the cat she was; ducking and twisting to make sure she didn't trigger one.
"God damn, this is hot." Silver whispered as Shadow rolled his eyes. Blaze jumped on top of the case holding the emerald and slipped on a specially designed glove (courtesy of Tails). Blaze hand turned invisible and her hand slipped through the glass. Blaze pulled out the crystal emerald before tossing it to Shadow. Shadow caught it and stored it in a bag. Blaze slinked through the lasers again and landed perfectly in front of Silver. Blaze smirked before turning back into the human guard.
"Guys, the cameras are about to turn back on in 30 seconds." Tails said as Shadow quickly closed the doors to the safe and grabbed Silver and Blaze. He Chaos Controlled them back to the hotel where Tails watched the cameras reengage.
"Got it." Silver said as he turned back to his hedgehog-self.
"All right, let's pack it up." Tails said as he began shutting down his computers. They packed their things and travelled to the location of the plane. They made sure to check out of the hotel before leaving. Tails piloted the plane back to Station Square as everybody relaxed. The next day Amy was sitting in her apartment baking when her cell phone rang. Amy didn't look at the caller ID and just answered it.
"Hello?" Amy asked as she frosted the cinnamon rolls she made.
"Hello Rose." Shadow said as Amy froze. Amy pulled her phone back to see it was in fact Shadow talking to her.
"Well, hello to you too. It's been a while." Amy said.
"Sorry about that. I had an important case for work." Shadow said as Amy rolled her eyes. "Can I see you tonight?" Shadow asked.
"Sorry, but I promised I hang out with my friend Cream." Amy said with a fake tone of apology.
"Oh…" Shadow said a little bummed.
"If you had a friend, however, maybe we can double date." Amy said lightly joking.
"A friend, huh?" Shadow asked.
"You don't have to." Amy said laughing lightly.
"Nah, it's cool. I have a friend who's free." Shadow said as Amy perked up.
"Really? That's great! Pick us up at seven?" Amy asked.
"Sure, see you then." Shadow said as Amy said her goodbye. Shadow held his phone in his hand as he stood in his room back at the apartment. Shadow walked out of his room and knocked on Tails' door. Tails opened it with a sheen of sweat on him and his glasses off.
"Are you working out?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, I don't get to run around like all of you so I have to work out somehow." Tails said as he wiped his face off with a towel. Tails put his glasses back on and grabbed his water bottle. "What's up?" Tails asked.
"I have a favor." Shadow said as Tails looked at him confused.
"All right…?" Tails said hesitantly.
"You know I'm dating a girl and she has this friend—"
"I'm not going on a blind date." Tails said cutting off Shadow.
"Tails, it's not going to be that bad." Shadow said.
"Yeah, that bad." Tails said as Shadow rolled his eyes.
"C'mon, I'm asking you to do me a favor." Shadow said.
"No Shadow." Tails said.
"Tails just do this, this one time." Shadow said as Tails crossed his arms. Shadow sighed before he turned to look back at Tails. "Please." Shadow grumbled.
"Fine, I'll do it." Tails said giving in.
"Thank you, we're picking them up at seven." Shadow said before leaving. Tails sighed heavily before sitting on his bed.
"Why do I feel like I just had a conversation with Silver?" Tails muttered. Amy was standing in front of her mirror making sure she looked good while Cream sat on her bed.
"Trying really hard to make yourself look good for a guy you're trying to arrest." Cream remarked as Amy rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, he's not going to think about me if I show up in sweats and an oversize t-shirt." Amy said. Amy was wearing a cream blouse with a brown leather jacket. She had tight blue, skinny jeans with brown suede booties. The booties were wedges and they laced up. Her quills were down and straight, but she pulled half of them back. Cream was wearing a brown sweater with khaki skinny pants. She had knee-high brown boots that had a small heel and a cream circle-scarf around her neck. All-in-all these girls looked good. There was a knock at the door and Amy turned to Cream with a bright smile.
"I really feel like you're too excited for this." Cream laughed before standing up and grabbing her purse.
"Don't act like you're not." Amy said grabbing her purse. Tails and Shadow were standing outside the door waiting for them to answer. Tails was wearing a green t-shirt with a gray hoodie over it and a black leather jacket over the hoodie. He had dark, straight legged jeans and was wearing black Chucks. Shadow was wearing a red and black flannel with his usual leather jacket and black jeans. He also had a black beanie on and was wearing black and white Nike skateboarding shoes. Tails had his hands in his jacket pockets and rolled his eyes behind his glasses. He was already dreading this date. The door opened to reveal Amy and Tails glanced at Shadow to see him smile. Tails was slightly surprise to see Shadow with an actual genuine smile. Tails was slightly worried that this was getting way serious for him.
"Hi, Amy told me your name is Miles." Tails turned his eyes at the mention of his name. Tails' eyes widened when he looked down to see the girl in front of him. She…She was beautiful. "I'm Cream." Cream said shyly sticking her hand out.
"Nice to meet you, please call me Tails." Tails said smiling down at Cream who smiled back bashfully.
"All right, are we ready to go see the movie?" Amy asked as everybody nodded. Cream and Tails were walking behind Shadow and Amy as they headed to the theater. Shadow didn't bring his car since the theater was walking distance from Amy's place.
"Thanks for doing this. It looks like Cream and Tails are enjoying each others' company." Amy said turning her head slightly to see Tails and Cream laughing.
"No problem. I honestly didn't expect for Tails to enjoy this. It's good to see him having a little fun and not just working." Shadow said. Amy smiled softly and hooked her arm through Shadow's as they approached the theater. They all sat through the movie and enjoyed it before walking out of the theater.
"I made some cinnamon rolls if you guys want to head back to my apartment and have some." Amy offered as Shadow and Tails looked at each other. Tails shrugged his shoulders as Shadow looked back at Amy.
"Sure, let's go." Shadow said.
"You'll love Amy's cinnamon rolls. They're amazing." Cream said as Shadow smirked and looked at Amy.
"Oh really? You bake?" Shadow asked.
"It's just a hobby. I'm not that great." Amy said brushing it off.
"Don't believe her, she's the best." Cream said as she intertwined her fingers through Tails'.
"Well, let's go." Shadow said as Amy just shook her head. They all walked back to Amy's apartment and Shadow looked around. He never really got a chance to see Amy's apartment. It was nice and homey. Tails and Cream were quick to sit on the couch as Amy went into the kitchen to get the cinnamon rolls. Shadow noticed there weren't many pictures around, in fact only one from what he could see. Shadow looked at it and assumed it was Amy's mother who had a warm smile on her face. Amy's mother was standing in a kitchen stirring something in a bowl. Shadow smiled slightly. Seems like baking is more than just a hobby to Amy.
"All right, here they are." Amy said walking out with a plate of six cinnamon rolls.
"Wow, these looks really good." Tails said picking one off the plate. Shadow took one off the plate as Amy watched him. She didn't know why she felt so nervous all of the sudden. Shadow took a bite before his eyes widened.
"Jesus, these are amazing." Shadow said as he took another bite.
"Couldn't agree more. You should really open a bakery." Tails said as Cream stared at her.
"Gee Amy, you hear that? I've been telling you that for how long now?" Cream said as Amy rolled her eyes.
"I already have a line of work. I'm ok." Amy said sitting next to Shadow on the loveseat. Cream rolled her eyes before picking up a cinnamon roll off the plate. Shadow placed his arm around Amy as she crossed her legs and leaned into him comfortably.
"Cream does have a point." Shadow said licking his fingers off from the frosting.
"Yeah, well baking comes second to writing for me." Amy said with a distant look in her eyes. This didn't go unnoticed by Shadow, but he decided to drop it. The four of them talked through the night before Cream noticed that it was 2AM.
"Oh jeez! I have work in the morning." Cream said as Tails looked a bit disappointed.
"I'll walk you home. I don't want you by yourself at night." Tails quickly volunteered as Shadow smirked. Tails seemed to be smitten over Cream. Cream smiled gratefully as they both walked out of the apartment.
"So, what is planned for the upcoming weeks?" Amy asked as she swung her legs over Shadow's lap.
"I have to head to Moscow in a couple weeks." Shadow said as Amy looked at him sadly.
"You just got back." Amy said as Shadow shrugged his shoulders.
"I know, but I got to go." Shadow said patting Amy's knee. Amy sighed and leaned back on her couch. "I'm kind of going out on a limb here, but would you like to come?" Shadow asked.
"What?" Amy said in shock.
"Do you want to come to Moscow with Tails and I? Well, not technically with us because we have a private plane and it doesn't fit that many people." Shadow explained as Amy tilted her head.
"Are you serious?" Amy questioned.
"Why not?" Shadow said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I would love to!" Amy exclaimed. "When are you leaving?" Amy asked.
"In 10 days." Shadow said. Amy looked through her calendar and slightly frowned.
"Um, well, I have to do something that week, but I'll probably meet you a few days after. How long are you going to be there?" Amy asked.
"Two weeks." Shadow said holding up two fingers.
"Yeah, I should be fine. I'll probably be there a few days after you arrive." Amy said as Shadow smiled.
"Sounds great." Shadow said as Amy smiled softly. Was she really about to go to Moscow with this guy?
(A/N): BAM! Another chapter just like that! Hoped you enjoyed it and hopefully I have one (praying for two) before break ends!
