Rouge was finally in sight of her house she could see a familiar pink hedgehog sitting on the edge of the roof waiting to see the sun set. Rouge landed next to her. "Hey."
Amy didn't even bother to look up; she just kept her sights on the view in front of her "hey."
"Amy I'm sorry for what happen I really am but truthfully I don't think Shadow meant anything by what he did." Rouge was praying that Shadow would change his mind and come back for Amy.
"Actions speak louder than words." Amy felt like her emotions might fly off the handle any moment.
"Look I just think-"Rouge cut herself off when her ears picked up a loud sound. She looked behind her and in the distance she could see three white and blue helicopters coming. "What it…it can't be." Rouge stood up to face the on coming copters.
Amy's ears picked up the sound of the copters once they came closer and she was soon standing at Rouge's side embracing the strong wind from the rotors. "Rouge who; who are they?"
Rouge wouldn't answer her, because she knew all to well who it was, and that's what worried her. 'Why are they here I didn't call for back up and I didn't relay any information that would bring them here?'
The copters hovered over the building as men slid down ropes and onto the roof top. One of the men stood at the front of the squad he pointed at Amy. "Don't move you are under arrest for grand theft."
Amy took a step back. "Wha- what are they talking about?" Amy questioned.
But suddenly at that moment as the squad leader began to approach Amy with a pair of handcuffs, Someone jumped into his path.
Shadow who else?
Shadow stood in front of Amy protectively not about to let anyone touch her. "Back off." He demanded.
The leader was familiar with Shadow he had read some logs on him so he wasn't about to soil his hands with him, so he took a few steps back and turned to Rouge. "Rouge I want you to take him down, he's interfering with FBI matters."
Rouge's eyes went wide, but she knew that this guy held all the cards here; she didn't have any authority in this case. So she did the only thing she could she walked up to Shadow so they were only a few feet a part and took a fighting stance. "Com'on Shadow." Rouge stood waiting for his attack.
Shadow shifted on his feet as he shot a punch at Rouge but she dodged it…barely. Rouge kept taking steps backwards trying to avoid Shadow's punches and kicks but she was getting hit anyway. Finally Shadow had her pinned to the edge of the building about to hit her again.
Rouge put a hand on his arm, said something in a soft whisper. "Shadow I can't cover for you and Amy any longer I don't know how they found out but believe me I didn't tell…now push me over the edge."
"What?" Shadow questioned not sure of the bats intentions.
"I'll let you go…I can't promise I'll get out of this alive but if I do I wanna help Amy I feel responsible for this so just tell me where you're going."
Shadow began pushing her over the edge. "…Paris."
Rouge let herself fall from the building to the ground bellow, but thanks to her wings her fall was slowed and she didn't break any bones or get any major injuries.
Shadow turned and ran toward Amy, he picked her up, but he felt her struggling against him. "Amy do you wanna go with me or them?" Amy heard the question and then stopped struggling. Shadow's green emerald glowed as they disappeared.
Knuckles was casually walking up the street toward Rouge's house he told her he couldn't wait to see her, and maybe pick up where they left off the other night. Knuckles stared at the faded knees in his denim jeans as he was nearing Rouge's house, but suddenly something else caught his eye. He saw Rouge being picked up off the ground in front of her home by what looked like FBI agents. He began to run as he saw they were going to take her away, when he reached the scene he pushed past some men and was standing in front of the white bat. "Rouge what's going on?" Knuckles questioned as she began to approach her, but some men from behind grabbed him and put his hands behind his back in a restraining position.
"Sir should we take this one in too?" The man holding Knuckles asked.
Rouge struggled against the men that were starting to walk away with her. "Just take me and forget about him he had nothing to do with this." Rouge begged as she looked at the leader of the troops.
The commander rubbed his chin and looked at the echidna, with a smug espression on his face. "Well senses this is probably your last mission and all; we'll just consider this a last request, if you promise to corporate the rest of the way."
"I promise just let him go." Rouge looked at Knuckles her eyes were close to tears as she smiled at him, she finally had found love and just that quickly she felt she was losing it. Two men held Rouge by her arms as they began to walk her away. "Hold on boys." Rouge said and they stopped in front of Knuckles. Rouge looked at him sweetly. "I'm sorry we couldn't see what we felt for each other earlier."
Knuckles looked at her confused. "Rouge what'd you talking about, where are they taking you?"
"I'm always goanna love you Knux…bye." Rouge leaned in and kissed Knuckles on the cheek.
"Com'on." One of the men said as they started to pull Rouge to a black car parked on the side of the road.
Knuckles tried to pull away from the agents holding him but he couldn't, he kept struggling as he watched the men push Rouge into the car and then start to drive away. The last thing he saw was Rouge looking out the back of the car mouthing 'I love you'.
