Rouge could not believe her dumb luck! Not only did she locate the teens the agency is after, she got to see them in action! Now, if only her luck would last!

She finally got home, flopped on her couch and clicked on the television with the remote. Ever since she had traveled to this alternate Earth, looking for work, everything started going crazy!

She sighed as she watched the screen. The only one who knew she was there wasn't even being interviewed.

Knuckles was currently being interviewed on screen. The reporter, apparently someone named David Thatcher, was seemingly trying to get the obvious hidden truth to come to light. Unfortunately, Knuckles was too good for that.

"So, Knuckles, I presume?"

"There's no need for the fancy words, sir. However, if you want to call me Knuckles instead of Kevin, that's up to you."

"Alrighty. Knuckles, what do you remember from yesterday?"

"I remember my friend getting caught by the bad guy when we all tried to get the Andersons out of there, and I also saw the thing that smashed his legs, but, apparently the explosion we also heard pulled it off course in the first place, so the actual target was my friend's chest, which would have killed him. I happened to look at the medical records when I got to the hospital."

"Really? And how is your friend doing?"

"Serin's doing fine, but he's currently unconscious, for all I know."

Before Thatcher could begin another question, Knuckles' cell phone rang. Holding it up to his ear, he said, "Yo?" and eventually answered, "Alright. I'll be right there." He then looked to Thatcher, and said, "Apparently, my friend just woke up and asked to see me. That was the doctor on the phone. I'll be there if you need me."

"I see. Well, you better hurry off!" Knuckles nodded and then followed Thatcher's instructions. "Anyway, on to Sally!"

Rouge clicked off the television. It has been so long since she saw Knuckles! She silently giggled to herself while wondering if he's still the same treasure hunter she knew.

Other than that, she needed to visit this "Serin" Knuckles mentioned. The agency would be really interested in the other one.

Her cell phone rang. Answering it, she said, "Hello. Rouge here. How may I help you?"

"It's your boss. Did you see the recent news report?"

"Saw it. Heard it. Anything else?"

Rouge started looking at her Amethyst purple nail polish as she listened to the answer. "According to the record tapes we were able to retrieve, it looks like Shaun 'Shadow' Dekkona is amazingly similar to the Serin mentioned in the news report. He's currently in the Main Street Hospital down your street. Visit him, and get him if you can!"

"Gotcha. Anything else?"

"Yes. Don't get caught, and get there before Kevin does!"

"Yessir!" she said, silently saluting to herself while giggling. Hanging up the phone, she leapt of the couch, and walked over to the door of her house. She's going to visit an old friend of hers...
