Heh, Chapter 6… Took me longer than Titer to get to this scene, but there's good reason for that… what is it? I dunno…

Hehe… Titer, come in here and read this… check what Razor's thinking ;-) LOL…

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Razor and his three friends sat near each other, Chrys in the same seat as him, Ian in the seat in front of him, and Sparks in the seat behind him. The green hedgehog named Nagisoki sat down beside Ian.  Razor relaxed in his seat, which was on the aisle, and he immediately tensed as he saw the man in military fatigues get on the bus. Razor looked around a little bit, and he noticed for a moment that Nagisoki had slunk down in his seat as well. Well, it wasn't fair to make any assumptions, for pretty much everyone on the bus did something to make them look guilty. Razor looked around, hoping that the agent wouldn't sit near him. As the bus began to pull out away from the crowd, the agent sat himself down, in a seat just across the aisle from Razor. Razor froze as the man started to talk.*

Man: I've been watching you.

*Razor cleared his throat nervously, not sure of what the man wanted from him. Unsure of what to do, Razor remained silent until Chrys, who was sitting by the window, nudged him.*

Chrys *softly*: Go on Razor, talk to him!
Razor *thinking*: What do I have to say to him?

*Razor kept silent, and listened as the man began to speak.*

Man: Two days ago, we at the Military Force got a distress call from Air Base 61. The call spoke of a group of hedgehogs causing trouble. I went in to check it out, and I found that all personnel were missing, but that all were murdered, thanks to a computer entry. It was also from this entry that I discovered that the same hedgehogs would be participating in the Demo, and pull off some 'killer' stunts. Now, I want to know who killed them. They were military personnel. And I am in charge of finding the murderers.

Razor *thinking*: How does this concern me you specist bastard? *out loud* I've never been to Air Base 61.

*The man paused for a minute, and Razor could only wonder what the man's eyes were doing behind his visor.*

Man: I'd be feeling you would say that. Now, all this time, I've been watching you. Watching your speed and agility. The murders at the base were fast, furious, and somehow so professionally done that no single bullet was fired. Can you picture that?

Razor *thinking*: Yes I can, but you are accusing me of something that I am just now hearing about... *out loud, interrupting* Excuse me, but I don't know your name.

*Razor saw as the man remained emotionless, and then smiled so suddenly that it startled Razor.*

Man: Name's Halkon Wergrenn. Call me Halkon.
Razor *thinking, raising an eyebrow*: Halkon? You sure your parents are human, cuz that's about the most messed-up name I've ever heard... *Out Loud*  OK, did the entry in this computer say anything?
Halkon: Something about the base being too close to a common Cosmic Interstate portal and how the murderers would have to kill everyone because they might find it.
Razor *eyes widening*: The Cosmic Interstate?

*Razor noticed the agent look around, noticing that he was attracting several stares from the riders. After a moment, Halkon turned to face him again.*

Halkon: Yes, do you know about it?
Razor *thinking*: You have got to be kidding... That place has practically been my whole life since I was five... But who are the others? *sarcasm* Oh goody, here we go again, I get to play D-Cop again... *Out loud* It's a long story, but, yes.

*Halkon nodded, just as the bus began to stop, letting out some of the young amateur humans in the back. As they walked down the aisle, noticing Halkon, they hurriedly walked past him. Razor smirked slightly.*

Razor: Not very popular, are you?
*Halkon didn't seem to hear Razor's comment, for he asked another question in lieu of a response.
Halkon: OK, tell me. Were you there? At the air base two days ago?
Razor *truthfully*: No. I was here in LA.

*Razor cringed slightly as he saw the man look at him, stone-faced and tense. Yes, tense, tight. He was tight like a tiger. Razor felt relieved when the man leaned back, beginning to relax.*

Halkon: You tell the truth.
Razor *thinking*: Oh really? You actually believe me? After all, I am just a hedgehog! *out loud* How did you know?

*Halkon looked around a moment, then beckoned Razor closer. He leaned forward, listening carefully.*

Halkon: I was running a state-of-the-art lie detector test on you as we spoke. You tell the truth.

*Razor nodded, and sat back down, pretty much afraid to say anything, to anybody. As the bus stopped at the Holiday Inn, Razor was just starting to get up when he noticed Halkon already standing before him.*

Halkon: Well, this is my stop.

*Razor looked up, slightly surprised.*

Razor *thinking*: Great, I get to be subjected to more of this no doubt.

*Razor stood up, heading to his room in the Holiday Inn, Sparks following.*
