Hey look! A small continuation of "All is Fair in love and war"
Even though it was a 'murder investigation' prompt from the lovely Polinia, I just couldn't help myself
I wanted a happy end for them, so they faked their deaths and are on their way to Europe for a knew life by boat XD
Ah, LA Noire is a lovely game indeed
Shadow sighed as he paused outside the door, his rubies trained boredly on the frame.
How many times had he come to this spot in the last week?
The detective sighed as he walked in through the door.
The detective sighed as he looked to the hedgehog handcuffed to the table rail. One of his fellow officers caught him outside of the post office and brought him in on a charge of tax evasion.
Sadly, they wanted to question him for other things as well.
The ebony hedgehog bit his lower lip at the notice of bruises and cuts over the entrapped hedgehog.
It made him sick to see his hidden partner in such pain.
"Detective," the wolf officer looked up to the door, ambers narrowing as rubies mimicked the look.
"Lieutenant.."
"What are you doing here?"
"Commander wanted a prisoner transfer.," he stated plainly, hating the icy gaze from the wolf. "Please, a transfer for a murderer?"
"He ordered it." Shadow rolled his rubies, looking disinterested to the wolf.
The lieutenant growled as he stood, his chair hitting the wall behind him," Then by all means freak, go right ahead." He snarled, tossing the keys at the hedgehog.
He didn't let him have the satisfaction as he caught the small metal with ease. "Gladly," he snarled softly, walking over to the table rail.
"Come on you perp.," he yanked the injured hedgehog upward. Green barely responding as he was pulled out of the room with ebony leading the way.
Shadow made sure to look as disinterested as possible as he walked the kingpin through the station.
He only had so much time.
Rubies peered around the station, ears trained for the slightest of sounds.
"...Just why? This is below you…"
"He was an asshole," Scourge grumbled out quietly.
Shadow sighed quietly as he roughly pushed him against the wall to pin, making it seem natural as a few officers passed.
"Do I even want to ask?"
"I mean, if you're caught, the less you know the better," the green hedgehog said, blues glancing over his shoulder coyly.
"...Unless you're into that sort of thing~"
"Shut up and walk.," Shadow growled loudly, shoving the kingpin forward.
Anything to get him out.
"A detective, good that you got my message," A robust egg shaped man said disinterestedly from his office.
"When you're done with the transfer, you can go out on patrol for the night."
Ebony let out a slow breath.
Fat chance…
Shadow gave a stiff nod as he continued walking through the building. With a sigh, he finally walked him and his culprit out the door.
"Get in the squad car.," he tossed the hedgehog forward; who groaned faintly.
"Stop being weird," he hissed, shoving him into the car.
"I can't help it, they gave you a head start earlier in the tank," the kingpin wheezed slightly as he hit the backseat.
Ebony rolled his eyes as he got into the driver's seat. Grumbling something under his breath.
He was thankful this time had no way to listen in on cars.
As he drove on, Shadow felt the other sit up behind him with a sigh," So handsome, what's the plan? Last I checked, transfers don't go like this." He quipped.
"I called in a favor."
"Oh?"
"Yes. We're passing under the set area…"
Scourge rolled his blues," Hmm...You gonna share with me the plan stripes?"
"Just be thankful I thought a way around you going to jail for life."
"You know you're gonna get caught afterwards right?"
"Not if they think we're dead."
"Wha- Oh! Oh~," Scourge winced at the grin stretching over his sore face.
"I'll make a criminal out of you yet."
"Not happening."
"Hm?"
"We're leaving this area and starting over."
"...You mean-"
"Yes, just like we talked about."
"If I wasn't handcuffed I'd be hugging you right now," The green hedgehog whined as he flopped over.
"When's the hit?" He huffed, blues looking up to the ebony hedgehog.
"Five minutes. Gonna be loud."
"How loud?"
"Explosive."
"Oh fun~"
Shadow sighed as he accelerated the car, being sure to turn sharply as an explosion slammed into the buildings behind them.
"HOLY- HAHA!," Scourge shot up from his seat, a manic smile on his muzzle," Aw~ You made it a big one too~ You do care~"
"Hush," the red streaked hedgehog flustered softly.
Ebony wasn't sure how it worked, but….They managed to change cars and clothing.
Somehow, it worked.
The kingpin was contently leaning against his arm as they walked up the dock base to the ship. The ship that would take them to a free new life.
Somehow it worked. It shouldn't have, but it did.
He got a happy ending.
Shadow said nothing as he looked over his shoulder on the ship. Watching smoke billow from the now darkened city scape, red and blue lights still flashing at the distance. The fellow sirens long since silent.
In that day alone...the G.U.N department lost their best detective and number one most wanted from a rival gang hit; in the form of a bomb carrying car.
In that day alone, two mobians got a new chance.
In that day alone...they were free.
Free to start anew.
To have a life together.
Shadow smiled faintly.
This was freedom?
He was beginning to see the appeal of it.
