Chapter 21: Missing
Five days has passed since Sonic hasn't returned home. Lien-Da was extremely worried about Sonic. Sly started to cry since his father wasn't her and that makes Lien-Da sad. Sonic's family arrived to the scene.
"Hey Lien-Da, how're you doing?" Bernie asked happily
"Not too good exactly, I'm worried about Sonic" Lien-Da responded
"What, what happen?"
"He hasn't came home in five days, I think something happen to him"
"What, did you try calling him?"
"Yes but he hasn't returned any of my calls"
"Whatever he is, I hope he's alright" Jules said
"Me too"
Meanwhile…
Sonic laid on the ground unconscious as he was still tied up in chains. Sonic was down on his knees and his arms were tied up in chains. Sonic was too weak to struggle free and everyone laughed at Sonic.
"Look like the great hero is already beat up, should we beat him up some more?" Charmy asked
"Good idea, let's tased him making him cry for mommy and daddy" Vector responded with a evil smile
Charmy got the taser and start to electrocute Sonic once more causing Sonic to scream in agony bruised up so badly. Sonic wanted the pain to stop but the Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix start to beat up Sonic some more for a few minutes and then start.
"So Sonic, do you change your mind to divorce Lien-D and take your son?" Sally asked
"… No" Sonic weakly responded
"Sick him"
The gang start to beat up Sonic some more and Sonic screamed in agony once again. Sonic secretly got a taser and hides it not to let them find out. Vector then start to releases Sonic from the chains and then suddenly, he got tased by Sonic with a taser. The Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix noticed it and tries to take down Sonic but Sonic took a knife and threw it at the nights to cause a black out. Sonic took the night vision goggles and making his escape.
Sally and the others got the light turned back on and sees Sonic no where to be found.
"He's escaping, AFTER HIM" Sally commanded
Sonic ran as fast he could but was too weak. He even start leaving blood trails for the gang to find Sonic easily. Sonic then start to stop the trail when he throws some red paint on the other direction and making his escape.
"I just hope they fall for it" Sonic thought leaving
The gang came to the scene and following the blood trail and was so close to get Sonic. Once they got to the destination, they see a dead end.
"Damn… he's gone" Antoine stated
"Hold on, I'm sensing Sonic went to his escape. He fooled us to this trail" Knuckles announced
"Let's get him" Sally commanded
Elsewhere…
Sonic made his exit and was too weak to continue. He then sees a hover bike similar to Sonic Riders but decided to take it and leaving out the scene. The Freedom Fighters and the Chaotix sees Sonic making his escape and so he got out just in time and left out the scene.
"Damn… he got away" knuckles said angrily
"I know but right now, let's not say word to anyone. We have to keep it a secret and make sure Sonic changes his mind and believing us and get our hero back" Sally said
Everyone nodded in response and prepare their exits.
Meanwhile…
Sonic was in the woods and stopped for a moment. Sonic starts to lay down against the tree and was severely beaten up, bruised up and cut up. He even had a black on his right and was bleeding from his mouth and nose, even his body and arm.
"Ah crud… it hurts so bad, I can't believe they did this to me. I'm not going to kill them or do anything and they're too damn crazy to get what they wanted. Come on Sonic, you got to get home to your family and you know damn well that Lien-Da is worried sick about you and your baby" Sonic said prompting himself up and making his way
Later, at night…
Sonic continued his way but he was out of gas. Sonic had no choice but to walk. He slowly walk and was still hurt and beaten from the last time. Sonic continued on walking and walking but his legs were too weak. He had no choice but to crawl but couldn't move. Sonic just lay there on the grass cold, hungry, thirty and shivering.
Sonic start to burst into tears and closes his eyes exhausted. His eyes were red and could not do anything, he just lay there went to sleep.
Later, that day…
Lien-Da was still worried about her husband has not returned home yet. Lien-Da grew suspicious and was scared and worried to wonder what happen to her husband. She stayed up all night drinking some wine waiting for Sonic's returned. She frowned down and starts to whisper to herself.
"Please… Come home" Lien-Da whispered
