Chapter 10: Warning the President
Shadow led Espio, Vector and Charmy inside. Blaze, Chris and Shadow looked at them, wondering what was so important.
"So, what is it? Did you discover anything?" Shadow asked.
"Yes we have," Vector said. "Espio, Charmy and I went to Eggman's base and eavesdropped on Sonic and Mephiles. We found out something terrible that they are plotting."
Espio took the tape out of his jacket pocket and put it in the tape player. Sonic's and Mephiles's voices blared out of the speakers, talking about their plan. Everyone was shocked at what Mephiles and Sonic were saying. When the tape ended, Shadow looked at Espio and Vector.
"It can't be..." he said. "Sonic plans to assassinate the President. If he goes through with this, then all hell will break loose. We must stop him."
"When will this happen?" Amy asked.
Shadow looked at her. "He said in a few days. I have no idea how he's going to attempt the assassination, though. We need to warn the President immediately. I'll teleport to the White House and tip someone off; that way the secret service will be prepared."
Amy nodded. Shadow held up a Chaos Emerald and yelled out, "Chaos Control!" He vanished in a flash of green light, leaving the others in the house.
Charmy turned to Amy. "Shadow knows what he's doing; he'll be okay!"
The pink hedgehog sighed and sat down on the couch. "Let's hope you're right, Charmy."
Shadow appeared at the White House instantly. He walked up to the double doors and swung them open, striding into the large hall. Secret Service agents were on him immediately but Shadow just remained calm.
"What is your business here, Shadow the Hedgehog?" a Secret Service agent asked.
"I have come to speak to the President. It's an extremely urgent matter that needs attending to."
The Secret Service agent nodded and walked down a hallway to the Oval Office. Shadow walked in and saw the President sitting behind a desk.
"Shadow, I haven't seen you in ages! Tell me what brings you here," the President said.
"I received a tip from the Chaotix moments ago. It's about Sonic."
The President leaned back against his chair. "I'm listening."
"Sonic plans to assassinate you."
Hearing this, the President immediately jumped out of his seat. "Is this true? We know that Sonic's become evil, but..." His face turned to frustration and worry. "When?"
"In a few days. I do not know how he is planning to assassinate you, however. Be on your guard."
The President nodded, and dismissed Shadow. When the hedgehog left, the President got on the phone and dialed a number.
"Yes?" A voice on the other end of the line answered.
"Get me the GUN commander immediately. We have a problem."
