10:00 AM
Today was the big day.
Amy, Sonic, and Knuckles were going to have to break into a rival gang's base and retrieve mountains of product to return it back to Espio. The mission is completely based on stealth which wasn't any of Amy's strong suits. Usually Amy's gang just loudly ambushes their enemy to get what they want. It always worked, so why now all of sudden does she have to be quiet? She was going to have to deal with it as the rewards of this mission was to valuable to lose.
Amy rubbed her eyes and glanced over at sleeping Blaze. Man I can't believe we actually did that… Amy smirked and got up out of her bed, careful not to wake Blaze. She quickly got dressed and put on a black t-shirt and her usual black hoodie and jeans and swiftly left the house.
11:00 AM
I keep waking up so late… Blaze rubbed her eyes and then did her daily morning stretch. The fact she was in Amy's room triggered more turbulence in Blaze's mind as she started remembering what happened last night.
"I need to go back to bed…" Blaze groaned, talking to no one in particular. Sleeping was an easy way to just ignore the issues of life. She didn't have to confront anything in her sleep. But sleeping was impossible at this point, so she sucked it up and got out of bed so she could start cleaning the house.
1:00 PM
Amy and Sonic met up at Knuckles house to further review their plans. A large map of the rival gangs warehouse was spreaded across the table.
"Aight, guys, listen up. Sonic, you're parking the truck behind the warehouse. Amy, you're carrying the product into the truck. And I'm gonna be the lookout to see if anybody catches us. There's a lot of product so loading it in the truck is gonna be a while but just do it as fast as you can." Knuckles declared.
"Why don't we just fucking ambush them…" Amy rolled her eyes.
"This is one of the biggest gangs in Station Square. If we kill the thugs in the warehouse all the other thugs will find out and get revenge on us and fuck up Espio's entire drug empire. We can't risk do- " Knuckles stopped as he inspected Amy closer, "Why the fuck are you glowing today, Amy?"
"I noticed that, too! You don't look… angry today!" Sonic accusingly pointed at Amy and laughed.
"I'm just excited for the mission I guess… fuck off." Amy tried to sound annoyed but couldn't. Amy didn't realize until now, but she actually felt somewhat content, which was quite rare.
"Sureeee, Amy…" Sonic playfully punched Amy in the arm only to get punched back ten times harder. "Hey!"
"Whatever, guys let's just get this shit done first!"
"Wow, the fact you're still an asshole hasn't changed. But you're right, let's get back to planning." Knuckles reverted his attention back to the map.
"What time are we movin' in?" Amy folded her arms and looked at Knuckles.
"We gotta get this shit done at midnight, after scouting their base for a while I noticed they have weak security during this time…"
"For a gang as big as theirs, they sure are careless…" Sonic pointed out.
"This gang only boasts about how many members it has, otherwise they don't have any of their shit together." Knuckles said.
"I don't give a fuck about their stupid ass gang, they're gonna fall down just like all those other bullshit gangs. Let's just get our shit prepared and head out already." Amy got up from her seat and started heading outside.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah…" Sonic and Knuckles soon followed.
12:00 Midnight
The rest of the day before this moment was spent retrieving the truck, getting their weaponry, and a long road trip down to the base, which was in a deserted area far away from the main parts of Station Square.
The gates surrounding the warehouse were very tall and wouldn't have been climbable if Amy and Knuckles didn't have experience with breaking into places beforehand.
They both snuck to the garage of the warehouse and Knuckles used his strength to crack it open. Amy cautiously crawled under, looking out for thugs. The warehouse was very dim and silent, with numerous shelves of cardboard boxes. Amy noticed a lever on her side which she assumed was to open the garage and pulled it. As the garage slowly opened Knuckles ducked to get in.
"You think these boxes got coke in it?" Amy whispered, squinting her eyes trying to see where she was going.
"They have to. Where else what they put this shit?" Knuckles walked towards a box on a shelf and opened it only to see various tools you would find in someone's backyard tool shed.
"What the fuck?"
"Uhhh…" Knuckles opened another cardboard box only to see computer hardware.
"Fuck! Knuckles, is this even the right fucking place?" Amy angrily whispered as she roughly pinched Knuckles arm.
"Shut the fuck up Amy, this HAS to be the right place!" Knuckles dug in the box of computer hardware and found a bag of a powdery white substance on the very bottom.
"That's it! Let's load this shit in the truck and fucking leave already." Amy picked up the box ready to head out.
"Wait… Amy! Where's Sonic with the truck?" Knuckles looked outside, and the truck was approaching with perfect timing. Amy squinted at the bright lights and tried to shield her eyes with her forearm above her forehead.
The car stopped right in front of garage as Amy and Knuckles were running towards it with the box, but they stopped dead in their tracks as the passenger door opened and a beaten up a shirtless Sonic was thrown out. Sonic was barely conscious, holding his hand out towards Amy and Knuckles.
"Fuck! Sonic!" Amy tried to run towards Sonic but Knuckles grabbed her arm to stop her. A familiar shape exited the driver's side of the truck, and approached them. Amy and Knuckles soon realized this thug was Espio, Sonics friend who offered them this mission.
Espio walked over towards Sonic and pointed a gun at him. "Ha! I finally have you guys cornered!" Espio smiles, which seemed very unnatural on his usual stern face, "You guys didn't think you could take over Station Square for long, right?"
Amy and Knuckles were tense, knowing that if they were to move, Sonic could be shot dead. Nobody's life was valued in this business. "Why?" This was the only thing Amy could ask. She's seen plenty of people killed in front of her, so otherwise she wouldn't have cared, but this was Sonic, one of her few close friends.
"Let's make a deal. Ok?" Espio pauses as if he were expecting them to answer. "Ok!?" Amy and Knuckles both reluctantly nodded knowing Sonic's life was at risk. "Give up your hold on Station Square, and become a part of my empire."
Amy was beginning to get angry listening to what Espio was saying, and it was beginning to show on her face. "We're not fucking doing that!" Amy yelled with a tinge of sadness and hesitance.
"Then I'm killing Sonic!"
Amy and Knuckles glanced at each other and then looked back at Espio. "Then you can fucking kill all three of us then! None of us are leaving each other and none of us are gonna be your bitches!" Knuckles shouted.
"That's fucking cute. You guys are really gonna push me to do this, huh?" Espio folded his arms and placed his heavy boots on Sonics head as if he were preparing to crush it. "Are you sure you guys want to make this decision?" Espio smirked evilly.
"Fuck you, Espio!" Amy shouted.
"Okay…" Espio snapped his fingers and a group of thugs ambushed Amy and Knuckles and put them in a tight headlock. Espio took out a knife from his pocket and pushed it against Sonics back. It looked like he was beginning to carve something. Sonic started to scream in agony, sending violent shivers down Amy and Knuckles spine.
"Fuck! We'll do it!" Amy was starting to tear up, "Just leave him alone!" Amy tried to force through her tears. Knuckles looked at her, astonished by Amy's break down.
"I'm not quite finished yet…" Espio continued to carve craftfully on Sonics back. Sonic's screams and Amy's crying was filling up the night air. Knuckles was breathing heavily, looking as if he was about to faint from what he was seeing.
"Look at my masterpiece!" Espio picked up Sonic and threw him to Amy and Knuckles as if he were a rag doll. Two words were scribed onto his back that said 'Amys fault'.
