Ch2: Little Sister

Shadow sat down on his bed and said nothing. He looked at his feet. Then back up at Sonic.

"That," he looked away again, "Is, was my little sister," he looked down at his feet again.

"You have a little sister?" Sonic asked, rather confused.

"Well, sort of," Shadow said in a voice that was not his usual cold tone, but instead it had been replaced by a croaky and sad voice "I promised her I would look after her."

"What's her name? Where is she now?" Sonic asked, looking down at the picture.

"Her name is Signo. She was in the 'accident' 50 years ago. Maria died for certain. Signo was reported missing, in other words probably dead but they never found her body," Shadow spat angrily.

"How come you haven't mentioned this before?" Sonic asked. "Maybe could help you find her. Well, you survived your fall from Colony Ark, maybe she did too!"

"I haven't mentioned it before because it makes me feel guilty! And she was only 7 years old how the hell was she supposed to survive a fall from a satellite in space!" Shadow shouted getting annoyed with himself.

"I best go and leave you to calm down," Sonic said.

"Yes, you best do!" Shadow snapped back at him.

Sonic ran out of the house and began to make his way to Knuckles's. Halfway there he saw a little black creature fighting a huge Eggman robot with a metal bar. Sonic ran up to help but when he got close enough the creature ran away. As it was running, Sonic caught a glimpse of a long strange-looking tail.

He didn't bother with that though, he just continued running to Knuckles's place. Whenhe got there he told Knuckles what Shadow had said to him.

"That sounds nothing like Shadow at all!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"I know that's why I need your help hacking into Eggman's com…"

"Hey! Wait a minute! Don't you think Tails would be better at this?"

"Tails wouldn't understand, he's too young,"

"Right, we might as well get going now then," Knuckles yelled.

When they got to Tails' lab, they got a straight connection to Eggman's computer, but all they found were pictures of Eggman's grandfather Gerald Robotnik and Maria. Then they found one picture Sonic thought it was familiar… it was the same picture Shadow had. Sonic looked at it closer.

"Is it just me," Knuckles asked "Or does Shadow look, er, happy."

"Yeah, he does dun't he," Sonic answered "She looks happy as well dun't she? So, what do we do now?" Sonic asked.

"I know, we'll gat the Chaotix Detective Agency to find out if she's still alive!"

"Who the hellare the Chaotix Detective Agency?" Sonic yelled.

"A group of detectives," Knuckles answered. Getting out his mobile phone.

"COME ON OVER, KNUCKLES!" Vector the Crocodile shouted at the top of his voice over the phone.

"Let's go, then," Knuckles said putting down the phone.
