Shadow and Espio
By Streak The Chameleon
Chapter 1: Suspected
I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.
I hear no, see no evil, black writing on the wall… unleashed a million faces, and one by one they fall… black hearted evil, brave hearted hero… I am all, I am all, of me….
Shadow sat listening to his theme song, thinking about his past adventure. He sighed.
"Five years after Black Doom…" he thought.
Knock! Knock!
Shadow slowly picked up the pistol by his side. You never knew who could knocking at your door now…
"Come in.," he said.
The door creaked open slowly. Nobody entered.
Cautiously, he stood up. Then he smiled. "I know it's you, Espio."
The purple chameleon turned visible, and grinned. "You get me every time."
"You do that every day."
He grinned again. "Right. Forgot about that. Anyway, I was wondering if you like to go for a walk."
"A walk?"
"Yeah."
"Fine."
The two walked outside.

The rest of the Chaotix team was back at their headquarters, both Vector and Charmy watching the news.
"And the top story for today, a person was seen breaking into the local jewelry store downtown, stealing 3 Chaos Emeralds."
A dark shape was seen breaking the window, grabbing the 3 emeralds, and leaving. It all happened in 10 seconds.
Charmy blinked at the screen.
"You know, Vector, that guy kinda looks like Espio."
Vector stared. "Geez, you're right!"
"Are you sure that's Espio?"
Vector thought for a moment. "We can't take that chance! We have to be ready for him, and capture him!
"Right!"
They quickly turned out the lights and everything electronic. That way Espio would think they were gone.
Then they waited.

Shadow and Espio walked down the streets of Station Square. They both wore jeans and overcoats.
"Nice night, huh?" Shadow said.
"Yeah."
They walked down an alleyway. Then they spotted a figure at the end.
Espio put up a hand. "Wait."
"What?"
Espio pointed.
"'Oh."
Espio took out a shurikan. Shadow powered up a Chaos Spear in his hand.
Suddenly the figure dashed toward them and became visible.
Espio and Shadow gaped. "Sonic?"
Sonic glared at Espio. "I'd knew I'd find you here! Why'd you do it Espio?"
Shadow stepped forward. "Why'd he do what?"
Espio shook his head. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Yeah right. I know it's you!" Sonic said, and charged.
Shing!
Sonic screamed.
A shurikan protruded out of Sonic's shoulder. Blood poured out of the wound.
But Espio hadn't thrown his shurikan.
Sonic looked up at Espio. "I'll get you later!" he said, and ran away.
"I'll bet he's going to his apartment. Right, Espio?" Shadow said.
But Espio was looking at the figure up on the building above them.
The figure leaped off the building and landed in front of Espio.
"Long time, no see, huh Espio?"
