Chapter 3: Trouble -
That Sunday, there were no incoming or outgoing prisoners to the city jail, so Shadow took a nap. That was the key factor in the events that would come to pass.
In cell 993, Dr. Eggman was examining all corners of his cell. He knew that almost every cell in the jail had some sort of secret exit, just in case an officer ended up locked in by mistake.
Eggman removed part of the wall, revealing a security keypad. It was a cinch for him to hack the keypad and find out the ten-digit access code, which he promptly entered.
A trapdoor opened up in the bottom of the cell, which led outside. Shadow was just waking up, and didn't notice Eggman's escape until it was too late.
Nobody else noticed the escape. Knuckles was picking up trash on the tour site. Amy was wiping crumbs off her tray. Janet was in her apartment, studying Japanese.
Sonic was waiting for a pizza to come out of the oven so he could make a delivery. Tails was sketching another blueprint. Cream was feeding the Chao in her adoption center. Rouge was having all her exhibition jewels checked for scratches.
But enough about everyone else, let's go back to Eggman.
Just down the street from the jail was the Prower Electronics' engineering labs, which were closed for the weekend. Nobody was there, not even mice. As you probably guessed, this is where Eggman headed.
There were all sorts of parts and tools lying around. Eggman looked around, and grabbed a screwdriver and a wrench. What he had in mind would take mere hours to complete. And it wasn't good.
