Ch3: The CDA
Knuckles knocked on the door of the shabby wooden house and waited for someone to answer. Sonic heard a buzzing from behind the door.
"Who is it!" said a squeaky, chirpy voice.
"Open up Charmy," Knuckles shouted impatiently.
"Tell me your name!" Charmy squeaked, trying his best to annoy Knuckles.
"Charmy," another voice snapped, this one sounded much older "Open the ruddy door!"
The door flew open and Knuckles unclenched his fists and walked in.
"So you came back did you," a sly voice said from nowhere. Sonic jumped as a purple chameleon materialised next to him "Huh, scared you did I?" the chameleon smiled "You need to watch your back," he whispered as he disappeared "Isn't that right Knuckles," the thin air said.
"Don't start Espio," Knuckles said. He walked over to Vector's desk. Sonic followed cautiously.
"Knuckles, great to see you back!" Vector said waving one of his big hands in the air "I'll give you a 15 discount on any task since you a mate, but no more."
"We need help," Knuckles said "We need you to find out if Signo the hedgehog is still alive; we've got a pic… WHAT?" Knuckles yelled as Vector began to laugh.
"Find out if Signo's still alive? Talk about easy money!" Vector chuckled.
"Of course she's still alive," the air said.
"How do you know do you have any proof?" Sonic suddenly blurted out - he had been silent since they arrived.
Espio materialised next to Sonic "Of course we have proof she's…"
"Knuckles," Vector butted in " I would like to introduce you to our newest recruit," then he lowered his voice "Don't worry if she's a little moody, don't take it personally, she's always like that all the time."
