Vixette's Revenge
Chapter Two:
Shadow of a Doubt
Vixette checked almost everywhere to find Chaos, but she just wasn't having any luck. "If I don't find a lead soon, he might be able to get away clean." Vixette whispered to herself. "I can help you in that department." someone said behind her. Vixette quickly pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the figure. "Who are you?" Vixette asked. The figure stepped closer to her. "Tell me you haven't forgotten me that quick?" he asked. She looked closer and noticed it was a hedgehog. "Shadow." she whispered. "But I thought you were announced dead after the Ark incident?" Vixette asked. "A lot of people assume everything." Shadow said and walked towards her. "I know exactly where Chaos might be, but the only problem is that he might catch on to me." he continued. "Fine then. Where do you think he is?" Vixette asked. "I can't tell you right now. He might be watching us." Shadow whispered.
"I'll come back later on to tell you the location." Shadow said and jetted out of her house. Vixette felt hope inside of her but then she felt unsure. "What if he is still bad?" she asked herself.
At Sonic's apartment…
"We need to find out who killed Tails. It just isn't right that I'm partying when my friend was murdered." Sonic told Janet. "I know you want justice as much as anyone, but do you really think you can find out who did it?" Janet asked. "I'm sure Vixette already knows, I'll just track him down by just knowing his name." Sonic said. "Ok, I have confidence in you Sonic." Janet said. "I'll be gone for a week to see if I can find anything on foot." Sonic said and rushed out the door. 'I'll get the person if it's the last thing I do.' Sonic thought as he ran down the freeway.
At an unknown location…
Vixette looked up at the building she was about to enter and had second thoughts. It looked dark, gray, and the stairs didn't look safe enough to walk on. But she decided to go into the place. She walked up the stairs and went inside the room that Shadow had described on the phone. When she closed the door, a voice spoke out of the darkness. "Were you followed?" Shadow asked. "No I wasn't." Vixette replied. "Good, now I can tell you the location of Chaos. He is at a warehouse on the corner of Grove Street trying to hide out." Shadow said. "Thanks Shadow." Vixette said and left. "Now I can finally get Chaos for killing Tails." Vixette said to herself as she got into her car.
As Vixette went to the warehouse, she noticed that she could not get him right away. 'It will only come out in haste. I have to be patient.' she thought. She turned around and headed home. "At least now I can think of a way that I'm going to get Chaos." Vixette said as she took out some paper and started writing out a plan. She wrote the time that she was going to attack and how she was going to approach the warehouse. "I think now he won't be able to know that I am even coming for him." Vixette said and smiled.
At Angel Island…
Knuckles was laying at the top of the steps to the Emerald Shrine. He had his eyes closed and was daydreaming about something when someone called out to him. "Knuckles, we need to talk." someone said. The person walked up the steps and stood in front of him. Knuckles opened his eyes and looked to see who it was. He looked up and was staring up a girls' dress. "Uh, Knuckles!" Tikal yelled and pulled back her dress. He snapped out of it quick and got up quickly. "I'm so sorry Tikal. I wasn't thinking straight." Knuckles quickly said, trying to explain himself. Tikal looked a little embarrassed, but then she let go of her dress and tried to calm down.
"I was informed that Shadow is alive. Did you know about it?" Tikal asked. "No, but why do you ask?" Knuckles asked. "Because if he is alive, then that may explain why I feel something off balance." Tikal said. "I don't know why, but when I heard Vixette tell me that Shadow was alive and that he was helping her out with the case, I felt a little uneasy." Tikal explained. "You might just be afraid that he might be evil like he used to be. Well I don't think so, seeing how he helped us on the Ark." Knuckles said. "If you say so." Tikal said.
At the warehouse…
"So did Vixette believe the trap?" someone asked. "Yes, she did." Shadow replied. "Good, I'm going to show Vixette who is the one getting revenge around here." Chaos laughed.
