I can't really think of anything to say for this chapter except that it has a long title name...

Chapter 14: Trouble In and Out of The Asylum

In the asylum, Kaity was taken into a room and introduced to her roommate, a brown rabbit with a truf of white fur on her head.

"Hi." The rabbit said kindly. "Name's Janie." She said.

"Kaity." The chameleon said simply.

"What'cha in for?"

"My friends think I'm crazy 'cause I say I can see ghosts."

"Really? Me too!"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah! How old are you? I'm sixteen."

"Fourteen."

"How weird! So am I!" the rabbit bounced up and down excitedly. Kaity looked quietly as the rabbit. 'Didn't she just say she's sixteen?' Kaity asked herself. She didn't ask the girl out loud. 'She probably lied about the ghost thing too.' The chameleon told herself and looked around the room. It was a pure white room with two dressers, beds, and lamps. One for each person. Janie's side was covered in posters of popular teen rock stars while the other side, Kaity's side, was bare. "Did you just get here?" Janie asked.

"Yep." Kaity replied with a nod.

"me too!"

"Sure..."

"Come on, I'll show ya around." Janie grabbed Kaity's wrist and gleefully led her through the building, pointing out certain rooms one she made sure to remind Kaity not to get into. "That's the 'happy' room." She said, pointing to a metal door with a single window on it. On the inside, was padded walls and a bed. "Never get into the 'happy; room." Janie warned.

"Dully noted." Kaity murmured, still being pulled around by the rabbit girl. 'I think she's a pathological liar.' Kaity told herself, trying to think of a reason Janie would be in an insane asylum.

OoOoO

Back in the two girl's room; Janie was reading a magazine while Kaity stared at her ceiling in meditation.

"Kaity." A familiar voice said next to her. The chameleon looked over and saw that John was kneeling next to her. "I've been looking for you. Is there somewhere we can talk?" he asked. Kaity thought for a moment then silently got up and went toward the door.

"Where ya goin'?" Janie asked, looking up from her magazine.

"Just wandering." Kaity lied with John following her out into the hall way and down the hall. She came to a stop at an empty area and turned to the black chameleon. "Okay, what is it we need to talk about?" Kaity asked.

"You're met them, right?" john asked. Putting emphasis on 'them'.

"Yes, we had a nice talk, tried to kill each other; ya know, the usual."

"Did you tell your friends about them?"

"No, that would've just given them more reason ta throw me in here."

"They're going after your friends."

"What? Why? They can't see them."

"That doesn't matter. As far as their concerned, your out of the way, now your friends are next."

"Ugh, I hate when this happens." Kaity groaned.

"Did you tell them anything about what I've been telling you?" the male chameleon asked.

"Not really...I couldn't think of a good excuse for how I found it all out."

"If they're not told about them, your friends may die."

"Can't you go and fight 'em off or something?"

"I suppose I could try...but it'd be hard."

"Are you willing to do that to help us find your killer?" John looked up, surprise showed in his eyes, Kaity was using what he wanted to get what she wanted.

"I-I...Yes." he said finally.

"Good." Kaity grinned triumphantly, "The Chaotix are gonna come see me tomorrow, if they can stay alive for that long, I'll tell 'em everything." The chameleon promised.

OoOoO

It was dark outside and a heavy silence stayed in the agency, everyone was busy, but no one said a word. Not even Charmy. Now they could all feel something bad was about to happen, but were not sure when it would happen. Time kept going slowly, and seemed to move slower as it got darker. But nothing happened through their investigation time. The clock finally struck 10:00 and the team shut down everything for the night. Otherwise, Charmy refused to go to bed. Waffle and Snow decided to just stay over so they could start investigating again as soon as they woke up. Each member went to their room.

OoOoO

The Agency was black, and someone was quietly playing with the lock on the door of the agency. At last, it clicked and the door opened. The intruder quietly made their way across the room and over to Charmy's room. The bee's door quietly opened also as the intruder crept in and loomed the small, sleeping bee. Charmy shifted in his bed, making the intruder freeze. Charmy settled and sighed but what only the bee knew was that he was awake. The one who had broken in quietly reached in a pocket and brought out a gun. Charmy could see the gun glint in the moonlight coming from his window, but he held still, like he was still sleeping. He waiting intently, waiting for the right time. The gun was loaded, and Charmy took his chance. The bee sprung up from the bed with a loud war cry and lunged at the one holding the gun. The others sleeping in the house, woke up after the war cry and ran to Charmy's room to see what caused it. The attacker was shadowed by the moonlight, but they could see it had a snake's tail. No one had time to make a move before the snake threw Charmy off them and charged the others in the door way. Espio was the first to react, Waffle was right in the path of the night prowler. The chameleon pulled Waffle out of the way just as the intruder rushed by. Having recovered their senses, Vector and Snow dashed off after the attacker. Espio and Waffle went in to check on Charmy.

"You okay, Charmy?" Espio asked, pulling Charmy off the ground.

"Yep." Charmy smiled, his plan had worked, and he had only made it up in the seconds he used shifting in his bed.

"Did you see a face?" Waffle asked.

"No." Vector and Snow could be heard coming back into the agency, before the bee could get out more.

"That guy's fast." Vector panted.

"Either that, or we're gettin' slower." Snow answered.

"I didn't think anyone could move that fast, only dead people." Vector said, shaking his head. He shut the door and dead-bolted the door due to the jimmied one below it. "We'll have ta get that fixed later." The croc said.

"We'll figure this all out in the morning." Espio said, putting Charmy back into bed and closing his door. "Right now, we all need ta sleep."

Oh crap, who attacked the Chaotix? And what's up with Kaity's roommate?
