Shadow and Espio
By Streak The Chameleon
Chapter 10: Espio's Escape
I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.
"Ugh…." Espio shook his head. After being captured by Sonic, he'd been knocked out for a while.
He was currently chained in a warehouse on the outskirts of Station Square.
It was time to get out.
He started rubbing his wrists on the handcuffs holding him. After a few minutes, he had gotten through the left one.
Then he used his fist to smash the other one.
He jumped down and rubbed his wrists. "Looks like Sonic needs a new pair of handcuffs…" he thought to himself.
The warehouse was fairly small. There was some equipment on a table, and a couch and TV.
He went up to the table and saw the glint of a needle. He picked it up and saw that there was writing on it.
PROPERTY OF GUN LABS.
GUN. The same people that put a bounty on him and the others. He took the needle and shoved it into his coat pocket.
Then he walked to the door and opened it. He was on a beach in the middle of nowhere.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Streak's number.

Still chained to the wall, Streak heard his cell phone. Rouge had fallen asleep.
With his broken arm, he managed to take his phone out of his pocket.
"Yeah?"
"This is Espio."
"Dude! Where have you been?"
"Chained to a wall in the middle of nowhere…why?"
"Same here."
"Where are you?"
"I'm in GUN's base, hanging on a wall with a broken arm."
"A broken arm?"
"Yeah. By Rouge. She's such a sadist."
"I'm coming over there."
"Yeah…could you hurry?"
Streak hung up.

Espio put his phone back in his pocket and dashed away.
The city was quiet. Hardly any lights were on.
Espio dashed through an alley. He was just to the end when a hand grabbed his throat.
"Amy told me about you."
"Who are you…" Espio choked.
The hand let go, and Espio spun around.
"Cream!"
"Yes."
Cream's hand balled into a fist, and she rammed it into Espio's stomach.
Espio flew back into a dumpster.
"This is embarrassing," he thought. He didn't want to hurt Cream, so he'd have to just run away.
He got up and carefully looked around the corner. A knife flew past him.
"Jesus Christ!" He jumped back and ran back the way he came.
He made it out of the alley and ran into the night.
