Separation
Chapter 9:
"Honey! Come over here!" shouted an old woman echidna, "Look! There's a baby over there!" she cried,
"A baby? Where?"
"Off the side of a road! Look!" The two ran over and the lady grabbed the infant, "Oh my…honey, he looks about two years old." the man shook his head,
"How could anyone do such a thing? Why would anyone abandon their child?"

Remington woke with a shiver,
"Remington! You okay?" Knuckles asked, "You sorta conked out for a minute!"
"Make that an hour." Moon-star grumbled,
"Um, never mind…let's get moving." but his head was not concentrated on it, the dreams he was having lately…what did they mean? But Moon-star broke his concentration,
"Listen guys. It's 9 o'clock, and someone hasn't died yet. I'm getting worried." Knuckles shook his head,
"Don't be worried. Maybe your little dream was fake. We don' know for sure."
"But-"
"I know you want to help and all, but we don't need fugitives whining and following us all around!"
"Remington and I have a deal. I'm helping him, and he's going to help me find my mother."
"Is this true Remington? Did you make a deal with a murderer?" Remington sighed,
"Moon-star's right. If we don't hurry up, it might be one of you that'll die."
"Alright guys." Moon-star said, "Let's quit arguing. I have a plan. Ok, Knuckles, you should go to Knothole and recruit the Freedom Fighters, see if they'll help us. Remington, you quickly go and find the Egg Fleet and find a way to destroy it. And I'll go get Eggman and make sure he doesn't get away."
"No!" both of them said at once, but it was Remington who continued, "You should get the Freedom Fighters, it's far less dangerous." the cat chuckled,
"Riight. The people I murdered would totally agree with you. I can take him on. He doesn't have what I got." she pulled out her claws, "Sleek as the night, quick as the light! Let me put my claws through him!" Remington and Knuckles both looked worriedly at each other, but then Knuckles said,
"Fine. Just make sure you don't die so we can hold you on your trial."
