After X-amount-of-time, I finally got unlazy and wrote stuffs! =D
Chapter 4: A Close Call
Clouds suddenly rolled over the moon as if giving an omen. Golden eyes widened as one answer came to mind and Espio sprinted back around to the front door of the agency with the mysterious bag in hand. Not wasting time with stealth, he clomped up the stairs and stood in the doorway of the younger chameleon's room. "Hey!" He growled, seeing only the silhouette of an intruder.
The intruder jumped and spun around; his face was still shadowed by the darkness the clouds had created but the detective could see the tips of two small horns on the intruder's head. The stalker growled and shouted something Espio didn't pick up right away and whipped one knife at the male standing guard at the door and another clean through the window; jolting the female awake.
"What the-?" Her head jerked from one side to another, clearly still regaining her senses.
The intruder was already by the pulled-up window and said in a low, harsh tone, "El pago se efectúa, señorita." The intruder leapt from the window and, just as the clouds began to move out of the moon's light, invisibly took off running.
Espio growled, there was no way he would be able to track down the stalker again; he pounded a fist on the wall. The stalker had been too close for comfort that time; he was definitely getting bolder.
"Um…What'd 'e say?" Kaity questioned dumbly, still sitting up in bed.
The chameleon boy shook he head "He said it too fast to catch." he replied, examining the window, "We'll have to get this replaced."
OoOoO
Vector and Charmy were up and demanding answers after they saw the glass on the ground and the mysterious bag.
"For what I can tell," Espio started, "The intruder spoke Spanish and intended to do Kaity harm." The chameleon boy opened the bag to show his companions the daggers and rope contained in the bag. "I think he had planned to just come and kidnap her, using force via daggers if necessary."
"If he planned on using the daggers and rope, why'd he leave them outside?" Vector asked, putting a hole in Espio's theory. "You said he didn't look like he was carrying anything when you first saw him."
"Yes; what of it?"
"Well..." The croc's tail tapped on the ground in a nervous, uncomfortable fashion. His expression said he was thinking of a new way to word his sentence.
"Well what, Vector?" Charmy asked.
Vector took a breath, "If he kept all that outside, maybe he was gonna use it for something besides kidnapping her...like something to use after he had her."
"...Ya mean 'e might've planned ta torture me..." Kaity said, catching the older reptile's thought quickly. The room went silent as all eyes went to the bag belonging to the mystery stalker.
"Well, at least we know who he is now." Charmy said cheerily, "Now we just gotta catch him!"
Kinda short chapter 8D; But I couldn't go far without getting into stuffs for the next chapter of the short. Sorry for shortness.
