Rouge was the first one to the hospital, but quickly found it difficult to
see the young man she was supposed to interview.
"So you're saying I can't see him right now?"
The nurse at the welcome desk rolled her eyes. "That's what I've said twenty times already! I know you have urgent business with the young man but you can't see him quite yet!"
Rouge nodded. "So I can't see him right now?"
The nurse slammed her head against the top of the desk and started to sob. Rouge, taking advantage of the situation, leaned over the front barrier of the desk and typed a few letters into the computer, apparently getting the results she wanted. She backed out of the current program, turned away and said, "Alright! I know when I'm not wanted. I'll be seeing you later."
Giggling to herself, she silently ducked into the elevator while the nurse continued to sob. This was getting too easy!
She sighed. She really missed life on Mobius. Oh well; that was behind her now. Earth was chock-full of gems, ripe for the taking!
Plus, no one knew her here. Well, at least, no one did, anyway. Now that Sonic and his friends were here somebody knew about her.
Just as the elevator music was starting to kill her, the elevator doors opened to a high floor. She tried to get out, but a young man in a black hooded sweatshirt with dark glasses and a Sonic cap almost knocked her over as he pushed through. Not thinking twice about the teen, she silently mumbled, "Jerk," to herself and continued.
However, she did notice that he seemed to have trouble walking. He was probably taking a walk to exercise his injured legs and was returning to some hospital room where he was recovering from some leg injury.
Speaking of that, she had work to do.
It was all she could do to keep from dashing down the hall at her target, but she was somehow able to keep calm and cool as she walked. She did notice, however, that the strange teen from the elevator was ahead of her at almost every turn, but sometimes she swore it could have been someone else.
It didn't really matter, anyway. She had a target and someone to work for, and that was fine. She turned down a hall, and, seeing a door close, it attracted her attention. Walking towards the door, especially since it was down the hallway she needed to visit anyway, her cell phone rang.
"Rouge here. How's it hangin'?"
Ever since she first heard that phrase she loved the irony of it.
"This is Dr. Robotnik! You're still under contract, remember?"
"Sure, hon. So, what do you want your servant to do?"
"You have a natural talent for words! I want you to go to the hospital Sonic is currently staying at, and eliminate him! I don't want any chances of him recovering!"
"Sure thing! I—"
Rouge stopped dead in her tracks as she noticed the room where the door had closed was, not only the one that she needed to visit, but completely Sonic or Serin-less.
It was mentioned that she was the first one there, but it didn't mention who was the faster.
"So you're saying I can't see him right now?"
