CHAPTER SIX:
A sneaky weasel
While Tails was busy nursing Blaze back to health, Sonic decided to get a head start with Tails' investigation equipment. It didn't take long for sonic to realize the strange things about the house. Hidden passages. The thermal camera picked up footprints that lead virtually nowhere. Right into walls. In Sonic's opinion, the only thing creepier than the rotting walls and old portraits, was the thought of people on the other side of the wall, watching him.
None of the passages seemed very important, even though a lot had been recently entered. Most were used for storage. The only truly important one stood out from the rest because of what he found in it. It was on the third floor. He found a dead end, which happened to have footprints leading through the wall. Sonic pushed on the wall and it flung open. The room was dark and damp. It had strange devices in it. Torture devices. There was a table in the middle of the room, where a plastic shopping bag lay. Blood was spilling out of it. Sonic picked up the bag and looked inside. He gasped. In it was a strange device that could fit around your knuckles. On the top edges of the device were two spikes. An imitation of Knuckles' knuckles. The knuckles were blood red, and there was a switch knife in the bag too. Someone had tried to frame Knuckles, and Sonic had an idea who. On the table sat a plain, brown, cowboy hat.
"This is incredible! But it all makes sense! Fang has always hated Bean, He's psychotic, which explains this "game". And Big's clue said 'Knack'! Which is Fang's alias! He asked me about it earlier. I didn't get it then…but now…" tails explained excitedly.
"Tails! I checked everyone's shoes. None of them match the ones that showed up on the thermal!" Cream Exclaimed.
"Sorry to rain on your parade, but this case isn't solved yet." Bark said in his casual, dark, voice.
"What are you talkin bout Bark?" Sonic asked.
"There are still many unanswered questions. Why is he here? How did he get in? And most importantly, How did he know about these 'secret passages'?"
"Dammit Bark! We were so close!" Sonic complained. "Well, at least no one else knows!" Sonic said. Unknowing that two other's were hot on Fang the weasel's tail.
Vector and Amy rushed down the winding, narrow hall. They had seen the shadow, and were chasing it for minutes. The two came to a screeching halt. The shadow was gone. It was a dead end. Where had this mystery animal gone? All that was left was a paper. It read "Knack".
Well that's probably going to be the shortest chapter… I'm now about 37 through the story. The next chapter will be the start of the first big chapter. What happens when one seriously pissed off echidna goes up against a psychotic weasel?
