"You might wanna save us both some time and come clean now." Jo told Scourge.
"I'm telling you, I didn't chase whoever this Shadow guy is down, I've never even met the guy." Scourge tried to defend himself from the accusations.
Jo had been trying to get a confession out of Scourge before the ambulance would arrive.
From there he would be taken to the station for further questioning and the truck would be taken into their custody.
"How are you so sure it's the same truck?" Scourge questioned him.
"Call it instinct." Jo countered.
Scourge laughed at his response.
"You got nothing on me." Scourge said.
The two stared at each other, both with anger and amusement.
The sound of sirens in the distance broke this, Jo proceeding to drag Scourge outside.
Four Days Later. October 8th.
Amy had decided to keep herself secluded.
While in school, she barely talked to anyone and out of school, she remained in her room.
The love of her life had been taken from her and now someone else had fallen at the hands of this psycho, and she, along with others had to witness the aftermath.
Traumatized at these events, fear and paranoia had taken control.
Constantly looking over her shoulder, even in the safety of her own room, she struggled to stay awake but forced herself to remain alert, going so far as to keep a coffee maker in her room, countless cups as well as empty cans of energy drinks spread out all over the floor.
Amy was shivering, the lack of sleep and the building stress causing her to become ill.
She hears a knock at her bedroom door, making her crawl under the bed in fear.
"Amy, it's Cream." She hears Cream's soft voice on the other side of the door.
Amy exhales her breath in relief and gets out from under the bed to answer the door.
Opening the door, she's surprised when she sees Cream is not alone.
It seemed, Vanilla and Blaze had decided to tag along.
"What is this?" Amy asked.
"We haven't heard from you in a few days, we worried about you." Vanilla told her.
They each looked over her shoulders, noticing the sight of her room and what disarray it's been in.
"I'm alright, I'm just…I don't know." Amy couldn't describe the vast mix of emotions she felt.
"Confused?" Blaze guessed.
"Scared?" Vanilla guessed.
"Yes." Amy said.
They all tried to comfort her, but she seemed hesitant.
"I appreciate you all trying but…he's still out there." Amy pointed out, starting to get testy eyed.
"Hey, they'll catch him, they're hot on his trail, I can feel it." Cream tried to reassure her.
"Yeah, I heard they got Scourge locked up already, it was so obvious, how did we not see it?" Blaze wondered.
"The point is, we realize you need time to heal, but we want to help, let us take you out to dinner, our treat." Vanilla offered.
Amy was once again hesitant, but decided to accept the invitation.
Meanwhile.
In the days that passed, Scourge's alibi had managed to be true, after lie detector tests and a few witnesses to his actions.
However, to the relief of everyone, he was still locked up over charges of abuse and illegal dealings.
"Well, that may be one more locked up and we might be better off for it, but our guy is still out there." Jo said.
"I ran all the tests I could, but there was no DNA evidence at either of the crime scenes or in the car, it's like they all happened out of nowhere." Tails told him.
"Thank you, Mr. Prower." Jo said.
"What about Sonic, anyone hear anything from him?" Jo asked.
"Nothing so far, it's been pretty calm." Espio said.
"Help!" Someone screamed.
Everyone exchanged glances and immediately rushed outside.
"Guess I spoke too soon." Espio said.
Outside, Cream came running up to the station, screaming for help, her clothes covered in ashes.
She fell to her knees, crying as she reached them.
"Get this girl some help!" Jo ordered.
"Cream, Cream, I'm gonna need you to calm down and tell me what happened?" Jo tried to calm her down to get a clear answer.
Cream could only get out one word through her sobbing.
"Mom."
