Chapter 5

The Search Is On

        I don't even think that I know what outside looks like anymore.  For the past four days I've been trying to find Amy, hacking away at the plastic keys of my laptop.  I really don't think I'm going to find her.  After 4 days, and precisely 52 hours at this laptop working, I haven't found a shard of information.  I know how to hack into every system and access every website.  Not even a shard…

        Sonic is taking this really hard.  He's never really…been here for the last four days.  Not physically, I mean.  He's always got that look on his face like he's lost in his own mind. 

        I don't know where Knuckles is.  Sonic says that he's left to see if Rouge could help them out.  Yeah, right.  I really think it's an excuse to visit her, because he obviously doesn't care a bit about Amy.  I mean, I hate to say, but I blame him.  He was in the room with Amy, he could've protected her, and I mean come on!  Knuckles hasn't said a word, all he did was say "I'm going to find Rouge, bye."  Well, maybe not in that exact way, BUT!  He could at least apologize to Sonic.  Sonic is blaming it all on himself.  He won't listen to me when I tell him that there was nothing he could've done.  He just shakes his head all slow and easy like. 

          I used to be afraid of Knuckles.  I mean, he's so powerful and all…  But then I met him and we became…close, I guess.  But he and Sonic became closer.  I didn't really like him all that much.  I used to think that we could come closer later on, but then this happened.  Now I hate that red echidna for all he's done…to Amy, to Sonic, to ME. 

        That day was supposed to be THE DAY.  While Sonic and Knuckles scoped out the base, I was going to take Amy out on a picnic and tell her…and tell her how I REALLY feel about her.  But that stupid echidna ruined it all.  

        Wait a minute…  The computer gave a little ding, alerting me to a found search.

        YOUR SEARCH FOR "AMY THE HEDGEHOG" HAS BEEN COMPLETED.  (1) RESULT FOUND.

        My fingers trembled as I clicked on the button.  'Stupid loading bar!' I thought savagely as the website slowly loading.  My breath caught as it finished.  At the top was a picture of Amy with dirt covering her beautiful face. This is exactly what it said:

AMY MARIE HEDGEHOG

(Picture)

A tragic death shakes the town of Santa Marie.  One of their own, Amy Marie Hedgehog was found murdered in an alley recently.  Amy was a struggling foster child, her parents are jailbirds.  She had started to fall into using various drugs, but with the help of her foster parents, she quit.  Amy Marie was a role model for teens lost to drugs, and she even counseled them. "Her compassion for life was grand, and she will always be remembered," says neighbor Dwell San.  As the investigation on her murder continues, we can only hope that Amy Marie's murderer is put to jail for his heinous crime.

        What?  This whole article has to be bogus!  Amy is an orphan, she doesn't live in Santa Marie, and she isn't a ex-drug addict!  So that means that she can't be dead…right?  I pulled up a map from the bottom of the screen and looked for Santa Marie.  Finally, I found it.  I grinned and stared at the screen as I left.  I was going to find Amy.

        And for once, I'd be the savior.
