Not About Angels
Chapter Eleven
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails hastily made their way to the G.U.N headquarters. Tails thought it was obvious that Kiera had shut down the whole agency including the building itself. No one can go in or out but Tails believed he was smart enough to go through her firewalls. Shadow, Rouge and Amy arrived a few minutes after they did. Rouge had told them three everything that happened when they were held by Kiera and Amy's story. Amy was scared about Sonic's reaction and if he would ever forgive her for betraying them for Kiera's cause.
"Let's do this and get inside, Tails. She's up to something and it can't be good." Sonic said, avoiding any and all eye contact with Amy as possible. He wasn't angry, he was disappointed in her but they would talk after they had stopped Kiera from whatever she was doing.
Tails nodded. "On it." He pulled out a small box from his pocket. Knuckles pulled off the door's control panel for him to get to the wires. Tails attached the wires to the correct correspondents to bypass Kiera's firewall and open up this entryway at least.
"This will take several minutes. Kiera was very smart and tactical with all of this. I will have to go through every door to where ever she is to stop her." He said as he worked away on getting the front entrance to open.
"She knows more than we do. She knew we were going to come after her, and she took every precaution to delay us. Kiera is past intelligent and intellectual." Shadow said, thinking over Kiera's motives and moves through this whole thing.
"She certainly impressed you, then, huh?" Sonic smirked, teasing him. Shadow rolled his eyes, not interested in his silly games.
"I got it!" Tails exclaimed. All of them turned to look at him as the entryway opened up for them.
Sonic patted Tails' shoulder. "Nice one, man." Tails took off his machine and walked through the front entrance with them.
Rouge and Shadow looked around suspiciously. Amy saw that. "What is it?" she asked.
"It's too quiet." Rouge said uncertain.
Sonic and Knuckles looked around and noticed the eerie feeling in the air. They then found an open entryway to the elevator. "Shad, over there." Sonic pointed to the elevator.
"Is that supposed to be open?" Tails asked.
Rouge shook her head. "No. Stay here and we'll check it out." Her and Shadow walked over to the elevator. No one was in it.
"She wants us to get in, doesn't she?" Rouge looked at Shadow and he nodded.
"Most likely." He replied. Amy walked over to them with Sonic, Knuckles and Tails.
Sonic looked in. "Empty. She is way too smart and paranoid. She's leaving us a trail to follow her?"
Shadow nodded. Amy then walked in the elevator. "What are you doing, Rose?" he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Finding Kiera. She wants us to follow her so let's follow her." Amy said simply.
Rouge sighed, she didn't want another slug to the head by her bat. "All right. Let's go." She walked and Shadow did as well.
The elevator doors closed before Sonic, Knuckles and Tails could get in. "God sake." Knuckles snarled and then looked up at the ceiling. He found the security cameras.
"She's watching us."
Sonic scowled. "Bloody hell. We don't even know what she's doing! How are they going to stop her if they don't even know what they're stopping?"
Tails looked back at the elevator. "It's going to the eighth floor. Take the stairs."
Knuckles nodded and the three of them headed for the double doors to the stairway. Knuckles and Sonic pulled at the door. "Locked."
"She's really pissing me off." Sonic growled.
Tails sighed. "We'll find a way to get up there."
The elevator stopped on the eighth floor. The three of them slowly, carefully stepped out of the elevator, looking down the hallway both ways for safety. Rouge turned to Shadow.
"The commander must be still here, he told us that he didn't want to be disturbed as he was working all night. Go find him, Shadow and get him out of here. He's in his office on the tenth floor." Shadow nodded and left to go up the stairs. To his luck this door was open. She must have slipped up and forgot this one, he thought but he knew somehow that wasn't true.
She was too smart.
Shadow found the door to his office easily but it was open a jar.
He opened it more and saw the commander at gunpoint by Kiera using his gun.
