Tears Of Blood; Chapter 3
Sally was now fighting to hold back tears. All those happy moments. She will never experience them ever again. She wiped her eyes once more with the ripped breast pocket, tucked it in to her right pocket then got up and continued down the track. That night had to be the most magical night of her life. It seemed Sonic still held a light for her. It had pained him being away from her as she was pained being away from him. That night was still fresh in her mind as if it happened yesterday. As she was thinking about it, it brought a small smile to her face. It was the night that they showed how much they loved each other. As Sally was thinking, she stumbled on a stone. Sally winced as a jolt of pain shot through her right shin. She stopped to let the pain dull and fade, then started toward Knothole yet again. She then cast her mind to the morning after as it was the big day that the dish was moved to it's new location.
Sally slowly opened here eyes. She had forgotten to set Nicole. She propped herself up on one elbow, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She looked over her shoulder and saw Sonic sleeping peacefully next to her. She smiled and lay back down. She got comfortable on the pillow and closed her eyes again. No sooner had she done this, then she felt Sonics arms wrap round her midriff. Sally gently placed her hands around Sonics. Sonic snuggled up close to her back. "Morning Sal." Sonic said into Sally's ear. "Morning Sonic." Sally replied. "What's the time Nicole?" Sally asked. "It is 9.27am Sally." Nicole talked back. Sally was shocked. "It's late." She exclaimed. She went to get up, but sonic held her back. "Stay a while longer." Sonic pleaded. "Sorry, I would like to but I can't. It's late." Sonic reluctantly relinquished his grip on Sally. Sally quickly pulled on her boots and made her way to the bathroom. When she came out, she had found that Sonic had made the bed. Sonic sat at the foot of the bed. As soon as Sally came out, he smiled at her as if to say 'what do you think?' "Everyone's waiting for us." Sally told him. Sally plucked up her waist coat from off it's hook and turned to get Nicole when she found Sonic standing there, holding Nicole in his hand. "Thank you." Sally said reaching out for Nicole. As she grabbed Nicole, Sally found herself looking into Sonics eyes. She quickly broke the gaze and shoved Nicole into her pocket. As she went to the door, Sonic joined her. "Wait and I'll see if the coast is clear." Sally whispered to Sonic. She opened her door a fraction and peeped out. The corridor was silent. Sally turned back to Sonic. "It's clear." She told him. Sally quickly slipped out, followed by Sonic. "O.k. I'll go on to the planning room. You follow up." Sally told Sonic. Sonic nodded in response. Sonic knew as well as Sally that none of the Freedom Fighters were to find out what happened. Sally set off, then Sonic followed a little while later. Sally entered the planning room and found all the Freedom fighters assembled. "Where in tarnation have y'all been Sally?" Bunnie spoke up. "Yeah, we've been waiting for an hour and a half." Rotor chimed in. "Probably up to something she doesn't want us to know aboot." Antoine added. But as usual, everyone ignored him. Tails said nothing. He was engrossed in his comic. "I overslept." Sally answered. "I decided that I wanted a little extra sleep. I'm sorry if I made everyone wait." Sally apologised. Then Sonic entered. He stretched and yawned. "That's the last time I go for a midnight run." He said. The others seemed pleased with his excuse and decided not to press questions. "O.k. everyone, gather round." Sally called. She outlined the plan as well as the new camouflage that would go on the dish. Sonic would take Rotor and Dulcy to the proposed sight. While Rotor set up the dish, Sonic would take care of any patrol bots. Dulcy and Tails was to be the early warning system. Antoine would provide tracking of the bots via radar and Bunnie would back up Sonic. Sally would stay behind and check the link. "O.k. lets move out." Sally said. The Freedom Fighters filed out the door. Antoine taking his own sweet time as he always did. "Be careful." Sally whispered to Sonic. "I will Sal, I will." Sonic whispered in reply, giving her a quick wink. After they had gone, Sally made her way to the Comms room. She picked up a pair of earphones and, looking at as list, tuned into the correct frequency. Twenty nerve racking minutes later and the dish was set and camouflaged. There were a few tense moments when the droids passed over, but thanks to Dulcy, Tails and Ant on the radar they could see them coming. "Dish set." Rotor reported over the radio. Sally turned it on. She was picking up radio conversation easily, but there seemed to be a slight bit of interference. She told this to Rotor who reported that he had got the same thing. Rotor had checked the dish three times and couldn't locate the problem. Sally told him they have to live with it for the time being. After calling a mission accomplished everyone headed back to base. Bunnie was a bit disappointed that she couldn't take any of Robotnik's bots apart, but she was glad to be back in Knothole safe and sound. Sally was greatly relieved to see Sonic walk in through the door. The rest of the day passed as normal. Rotor monitored the Communication widths, Bunnie was in gym working up a sweat, Sonic had gone off for one of his runs, Tails was engrossed in a new comic but Antoine had disappeared. The last anyone ever saw of him was when he came back from the mission. Then just as everyone was getting ready for bed. Antoine appeared. He had a sly smile. No-one was going to ask him where he had been as he hardly said anything after the war. As Sally retired to bed, she thought of how smoothly the operation had gone. She couldn't believe how lucky they were. Now all they had to do was sit back and wait for the dish to pick up a tasty piece of info. As Sally settled down into bed she glanced once more at Sonics picture on her bedside table. "I will always remember our time together" Sally said to the picture. "Always and forever."
