CHAPTER 3

GETTING HELP FROM A FRIEND

It was early that morning and Shadow was sitting on the cold floor in the Mobian Prison. He was just sitting there with the morning sun shining on his back. He was in deep thought at the time, He was thinking about what Rouge had said to him, 'You kill those bastards! Get revenge! Kill them all!' Shadow clinched his fists, "I promised both of you. I'll get revenge on them especially her. I swear it."

Then the cell door opened with a purple chameleon approaching Shadow. "Shadow, I heard all about it. I came to bail you out."

Shadow looked down at the floor still not happy, even when Espio was there to help him.

Later at Shadow's house Shadow was sitting on the sofa with Espio still looking miserable.

The purple chameleon laid his hand on his shoulder, "Shadow, are you okay?"

"Okay? I just lost my family damn it! How do you think I feel?"

Espio took his hand away from his shoulder, "I'm sorry about what happened to Spike and Rouge. I wish there was something I can do to make you feel better."

Shadow turned away from him looking in another direction. Clearly he wasn't in the mood.

Espio sighed, "I'll leave you alone." He left the house leaving Shadow alone.

Shadow walked upstairs into his bedroom and lied on his bed thinking about how he could get his revenge on Sarah. He spotted the family photo setting on the table beside the bed. He sat up from his bed staring at the picture. He looked from it with a glare. "I will kill her." He picked his phone and began to make a call.

Someone picked up on the other line, "Hello?" The person he was calling sounded like a girl.

"Rose, it's Shadow."

"Shadow, hi. I've heard about what happened...sorry."

"That bitch will be the one who's sorry."

"Sarah?"

"Rose, I need your help."

"Sure Shadow, I'll be there for you."

"Can I...stay with you for a while?"

Rose didn't know what to say at first, "Of course you can. You can stay for as long as you want."

"Thanks, Rose. You're a great friend." He hung the phone up afterwards he began packing his things.

Later Shadow was at the Syherin Desert Shadow had a suitcase in his hand waiting for Rose to arrive. Soon she did.

A helicopter came from the sky and landed in front of Shadow.

A pink female hedgehog with a black headband and a combat uniform with many different kinds of weapons were on the side greeted the black hedgehog. "Hello, Shadow."

Shadow tried to at least smile. He made a slight smile trying to be happy to see her, "Hi, Rose."

Rose walked up to him and took his suitcase for him, "Let me take that for you." She realized how heavy it was, "Damn what do you have in here, bricks?"

"Just some material I thought would be useful."

Rose set the suitcase in the helicopter, "Wanna tell me the reason why you're here?"

"I'll tell you when we get to your place." He said as he was walking towards the helicopter.
