Shadow and Amy reappeared on some random roof top in the city. Amy scrambled from Shadow's grip and was standing at the edge her hands resting on the rim. She felt like she was going to detonate any second her sentiments were complete chaos. She didn't know where she was she looked outward and saw nothing familiar to her. Finally she spoke. "Why did you come back?"

Shadow was standing behind her his arms crossed looking downward. "Because I promised you I would."

"I thought you said you couldn't see me anymore?" Amy questioned as she kept her back turned to him. "I figured I'd never see you again, why do you care anyway I don't understand-"

"I'm sorry."

Amy turned around and stared at him. "What did you say?"

"I'm sorry." He repeated.

Amy could barely believe her ears, and oddly enough she felt like that was all she needed to hear. She walked over to him and put her hand in his. "Thanks Shadow." She released his hand and put her arms around him in a hug, and as she did so she found herself a little confused. 'Why is it so easy to forgive him; I was just barely able to forgive Sonic and I've known him for years?'

Shadow pulled her from him slightly holding her by the shoulders. "Amy I need your help."

"What you want me to do?" Amy asked prepared to do anything for him.

"I need you to help me get somewhere, I haven't been there before and I don't know what it looks like so I can't use chaos control."

"Where do wanna go?"

"We need to get to Paris."

Amy's eyes went wide as she smiled. "You mean it; we're going to Paris?" She asked excitedly.

"If you know a way to get there then yea." Shadow answered.

"When do you wanna go?"

"As soon as possible."

"Well how's tomorrow?"

"That's fine."

"I'm goanna need a few things first."

Shadow picked her up and held her close to him. "Just tell me where you need to go."

Amy smiled as she thought. "Okay first I need you to take me to the library."

Shadow shrugged and held his chaos emerald tighter as a green light engulfed the two and they disappeared.

Knuckles was running down the street he finally reached his destination. He began to bang on the door.

The door was opened by Tails. "Knuckles are you okay, is something wrong?"

Knuckles grabbed Tails by his shoulders. "I need your help!"

"Ok Knuckles just stop shaking me." Knuckles put the fox down, and Tails held his head as he waited a moment or two for everything around him to stop shaking.

Sonic was sitting on the couch trying to think of away to find Amy when he saw Tails walk in to the room with Knuckles behind him. "Hey Knuckles what are you doing here?"

"I need Tail's help."

"What for?" Sonic questioned.

"I was about to ask the same question." Tails said as he took a seat on the couch next too Sonic.

"It's Rouge she was taken by the government."

"But isn't she part of the government?" Tails questioned.

"Yea but I think she disobeyed them or something because they took her away." Knuckles replied as he took a seat in a chair next to the couch.

"Well I think I can help, we just need to know which branch of the government is taking care of her." Tails sat down Indian style in front of the coffee table and opened up the lab top that was sitting on it. "Did you see anything like a badge or some symbol that might make them easier to find?"

"I got something better." Knuckles handed something to Tails it was a patch that goes on the arm of an agent to show there class rank and branch of government.

"Wow Knuckles how did you get this?" Tails took the patch and looked at it for a moment before he pressed a button on the lab top and small slot opened up where he placed it and then closed it again.

"I got it off one of the agents but don't worry he won't miss it." Knuckles reclined in the chair.

"What makes you say that?" Tails asked.

"Cause I got into a fight with an agent to get that and considering I gave him two black eyes he won't be looking for anything anytime soon."

"Got it!" Tails said as he continued typing. "This is from an FBI agent, I just accessed there computer to see if I can find out where they're keeping Rouge." "Oh great." Tails sighed in annoyance.

"What is it?" Knuckles asked sitting up again.

"I can't access any good information everything's password protected." Tails answered as he began typing in different words trying to break the code. Finally after twenty tries Tails got in.

"What was the password Tails?" Knuckles asked out of curiosity.

"Something no one would ever guess." Tails said sarcastically. "It was pink."

"Ok let's see." Tails ran a search on recent decommissions. "Well Knuckles I think you were right Rouge is on the list of recently decommissioned agents, says here she was decommissioned for failing to obey orders, aiding the enemy, and resisting higher authority."

"Rouge hasn't been a very good girl has she." Sonic said in a uncaring voice, he was concerned with finding Amy than anything.

"Shut up Sonic." Knuckles said in a firm voice. He continued to look at the computer with Tails.

"If I'm not mistaken the FBI does away with decommissioned agents in order to keep them from ever telling any of the organization's secrets." Tails felt bad he knew that Knuckles had something for Rouge but he had to be truthful.

"We gotta get her out before that happens." Knuckles was determined to save her he worked to hard to lose her now.

"Okay I found where there taking her, there's a building not to far where they take ex-agents, I've downloaded security codes and some other cryptograms that should help so lets get going we have to get her out as soon as possible because I have no idea what the schedules are for execution." Tails closed the lab top and placed it in a sliver lab top bag and stood up with it on his shoulder.

"Okay let's go." Knuckles said as he also came to his feet.

"Sonic aren't you coming?" Tails asked as he looked at his friend who seemed to be in deep thought.

"I think you and Knuckles can handle this, besides I gotta find Amy." Sonic looked down at the floor.

"Amy, she was spending the night at Rouge's house yesterday." Knuckles informed Sonic.

"What is she still there where is she now, where did she go?" Sonic asked franticly as he took the echidna by the shoulders listening intensely.

"I don't know I didn't see her there earlier, but Rouge may know where she is." Knuckles was hopping that just because Rouge might know this, that Sonic would help them save her.

"Then let's move, I'm out to find Amy and I'm not goanna stop till I do." Sonic began to walk for the door.

"What's gotten into him?" Knuckles asked a little confused by Sonic's sudden concern with Amy's well being.

"You're not going to believe this but Sonic actually admitted that he loves her." Tails began to walk to the door with Knuckles beside him.

"Well that's something you don't hear everyday." Knuckles was surprised that Sonic would ever confess to something like this.

Tails had just pulled the X tornado out of the garage and started it up while Sonic and Knuckles each took a position on either the left or right wing.
