Ex-Assassin
Chapter 3:
"Yes sir! We have an emergency!" Remington shouted into the phone, "Whatever you do, do NOT step outside! Sir-air poisoning! Yes-yes I know! I can't leave the building, no-no I can't. I need you to send some officers out with their gas masks, yes sir! I will stop him…him? Doctor Eggman, AKA Robotnik. Yes, I will defeat him! This is a case I can handle sir." he hung up, and sat back in his bed, he hated waiting. It felt forever until the knock came at the door.
In the streets, Remington decided he'd get to Knuckles first, no doubt he had information about this already, so he came to his door, rang, but heard no answer, no "I'm getting it!" or "Just a sec!", Remington decided he might as well come in then, and he did. Inside, he turned his attention to a note, which he read out loud,
"If you want your dear Guardian back, be sure to come with your hands up and with a pen ready to sign your name on a form giving me permission to purchase half of Angel Island…" the Constable just shook his head, "What a crazy man. What does he think we're gonna do? Walk in with open arms?" he turned to his team, "Men, I will handle Eggman myself!"
"Yes sir!" They all yelled back. With a salute, they left.

Remington ran through the foggy streets of Echidnapolis, and accidentally bumped into someone. They both fell, and Remington could see a tan echidna, with a peculiar white star on her forehead,
"Sorry miss," he said, "I'm in a hurry." the girl retorted,
"Who are you? And why would anyone want to run in such foggy weather?"
"I am Constable Remington! Please mam, get out of the way!" she hissed,
"Mam? That's cute. The name's Tsuki Hoshi. Well mister Remington, sorry for standing here in your way."
"Tsuki Hoshi?! Well, isn't that lucky? I some how end up meeting the assassin Hoshi. I place you under arrest for the murder of over thirty people!" Tsuki shook her head,
"That's ex-assassin. I'm a detective now. And besides, I thought you were on a hurry? Why don't you run along now?" Remington sighed,
"I can't let you leave. I guess you'll just have to come with me." Remington wished he never said that, because ever since Komi-Ko died, he had given up on love, and friendship, "But if you try and run away, I will be forced to-" he stopped, because she was looking somewhere else,
"You're looking for the Guardian, I know it. You can call me Moon-star. But, I need you to make a deal with me." Remington shrugged, allowing he to give him her demands, "When I was younger, my mother and I hated each other. That's all I can remember about her, but anyways, I can't find her. Promise me you'll help me find my mother?"
