Chapter 4: The Trap and Results

Espio and Kaity walked down to a more modern-looking part of future city. Filled with old cars, bars, dark ally ways, burned buildings, ect. Espio pulled Kaity closer to him. "Watch you're back around here." He said. Kaity nodded and watched around. They came to a building with a Nazi flag on it that had been torn to shreds.

"Think this is his hideout?" Espio asked sarcastically. Music came from inside and a horrible smell swirled around both chameleons.

"No, I think he hangs around here a lot though." Kaity said, holding her nose.

"Okay ya ready?" Vector's voice came over the earpiece.

"As I'll ever be." Kaity replied and walked into the building. Espio sat outside invisibly and waited.

Kaity entered and instantly could tell it was a bar. But not an anti-Nazi bar, there were plenty of humans and Mobians that were blond with blue eyes. Kaity reluctantly walked up the bar counter and sat down on one of the revolving seats. Not long after, a human male came and sat next to her. A bartender came up and took the man's order while Kaity listened to the talk going on around her. The man's voice was sweet and innocent sounding. "The usual Tim," he paused for a seconded before continuing, "And one for the pretty lady." Kaity didn't think much of it until a large and wide martini glass was set in front of her. Now she looked over to the man sitting next to her. He was about normal height for a man in his twenty's. He had dark brown hair, transfixing hazel eyes and the sweetest smile Kaity had ever seen on a human that was directed to her.

"Um, thank you." She said, trying to make her voice higher. She took one sip and almost dropped the glass. It was the most repulsive thing she ever tasted and she could instantly taste the over load of alcohol in the drink. 'You're 13! You're under age!' Part of her yelled, this was here more sensible side. 'But it's for the better of the case, besides, Espio probably would've done the same thing in you're possession.' Another side said, this side sounded more persuasive then her sensible side and it was her detective side that would do anything to help in the case. So she involuntarily went with her seconded voice. She looked down at the drink, mentally preparing for another sip of the alcoholic beverage; it was blood red, and shined menacingly under the dim and smoky light. She held the drink up to her lips again, now fully aware the man was watching her actions. Admittedly, it tasted better the seconded time. And now she felt another pair of eyes on her, she turned around and looked almost immediately at a big man with greasy black hair and cold grey eyes burning into Kaity's. She quickly turned away and continued talking with the man next to her. 'Better watch that guy; He may be the one I'm looking for.' She thought, taking a swig of her drink.

She was later found the nice brown haired man, who she now knew as Larry Ricson, helping her out of the bar, keeping her standing by holding onto her arm and into the open air. She was giggling like crazy and had trouble seeing clearly. 'You idiot! You're drunk!' Now both sides were screaming about the choice she had made. She ignored the voices and suddenly realized she didn't remember why she had gone down there in the first place.

"Hey, um..." Larry started.

"Lizzy." Kaity said quickly, she really didn't know why, but she suddenly liked the name and changed her name.

"Lizzy, I wanna show you something."

"Okay, where?"

"Down here." Larry lead Kaity down into a dark ally way and helped her stand by herself.

"What'd ya wanna show me?" Kaity asked.

"This." Larry smiled and pulled out a gun. Kaity's body froze over, now she remembered why she was there.

"Oh..." Kaity's body suddenly felt weak, she knew she couldn't fight him so she went for the next best option; "Help!" She screamed.

Espio wasn't sure how long he had sat there, but he knew it had been too long. He was about to go in the building and check on Kaity when she came out with a human man with brown hair and hazel eyes. 'Who's this guy?' he thought. He jumped down from his place and followed the two into a dark ally. 'Why's she going along with this?' he wondered. He had long since tuned out to the outside sounds. He ran into the ally after hearing Kaity scream. Kaity stood still by the mouth of the ally with the man pointing the gun at her.

"Better back off." Kaity warned, Espio could tell she sounded more confident then she felt, and she was in no condition to fight. The man only smiled and cocked his gun to one side. 'Now's a good time to save her.' Espio reminded himself and grabbed Kaity from the ally and carried her back to the now quiet Future City.

Espio ran the full way back to the Chaotix house and set Kaity on her feet after opening the door then rushed her over to the bathroom and she threw up the contents of her stomach.

"Usually, I'd punish you in some other way or lecture you about how wrong it is to drink under age, especially with you being a ninja, but I think you've learned you're lesson." Espio said.

"Just shut up." Kaity muttered crossly. Espio helped Kaity up the stairs and into her bed.

"You have no idea how lucky you are that you ate before that." Espio said.

"I have learned about that kind of stuff you know." Kaity whispered.

"Well, go to sleep for a while and see how you feel after and we'll talk more okay?" Espio said. Kaity nodded and fell asleep instantly. Espio looked down at the sleeping girl. 'She looks so angelic asleep.' Espio noticed. He shook the thought away and left the room.

Any trace of sympathy disappeared as Espio walked down the stairs to join his team. The first think Espio did when he got down the stairs is flip over Vector's desk. Vector went wide-eyed suddenly feeling the weight of the desk on his lap.

"Espio, what's the matter with you!?" Vector yelled.

"Did you not just see Kaity?" Espio yelled back. "She could've been killed if I hadn't been there!"

"Well, she chose to go."

"And I said no! But you all decided other wise." Espio huffed and kicked over the locked by his usual place. Charmy squealed and zoomed away to avoid getting crushed. Waffle walked over and lightly put her arms around Espio. Espio pushed her off.

"Don't touch me! I wanna be alone right now." Espio hissed. Waffle looked hurt. Espio ignored it and stomped toward his room. He almost made it when Vector spoke up.

"Hey, I'm sorry about what happened but-" Vector was interrupted when Espio's fist hit the wall and cracked through the dry wall.

"Well, sorry isn't good enough this time Vector!" Espio growled and slammed his door. The rest of the Chaotix stood quietly and looked at the mess Espio made, papers from Vector's desk were scattered, whatever was in the locker had tumbled out and the wall now had a hole the size of Espio's fist.

"Land lord's not gonna like that." Vector muttered and started cleaning up.

So, what'd we learn? NEVER DO DRUGS OR DRINK ALCOHOL! IT'S BAD FOR YOU! AND DON'T DRINK UNDER AGE! I really don't know why I wrote this part but I'm glad I rated the story T.
