CHAPTER 6

OPINIONS

The next day Rouge came through the doors having a disk in her hand showing it off to the rest of the group.

Tonya ran up to her with the rest of the group behind her, "What's that?"

"A disk. I stole it from Shadow's room. I found it in his desk drawer. Lockpicking is pretty easy you know", Rouge said with a wink.

Tonya took the disk away from Rouge and studied it, "What's on it?"

Rouge shrugged, "I don't know. He never wanted me to look in it. Though it was password protected, but I got through it."

Tonya put her hands on her hips, "Wanna share how you got into the system?"

"He left the password on his desk. What an idiot."

Vector took it from Tonya, "Well lets look at it." He walked over to Tonya's computer and put the disk in the disk drive.

Tonya sat down at her computer and started to view the disk as the rest of them gathered around her computer.

Later at the Street Punk's old hideout, Lance was still shocked about what happened to Maxcell. He and the remainder of his gang were in the living room trying to plot their revenge on Shadow.

Appex and Zena were sitting on the floor listening to what Lance had to say.

Lance faced his gang with a melancholy look, "What Shadow did to Maxcell that day was uncalled for. I don't know about you guys, but I think this time Shadow has truly lost it. Maxcell was a good guy all he wanted was peace and look how his life ended. His own flesh inside of Shadow. You see this is what happens when Street Punks wants to make peace with the high and middle classers. They die!"

Appex agreed, "Shadow must pay. Even though we never liked that chipmunk he was still family."

Zena looked over to Lance, "But didn't you see him? He looked so mad, I never seen him like that before. That evil aura I saw around him, it sent a shiver down my spine. Maybe that wasn't Shadow at all. Maybe it was a different Shadow."

Appex crossed his arms, "Don't be a fool. That was the same Shadow. I guess something was wrong with him. Maybe he finally got fed up with us."

"Maybe...", Zena was believing him.

Lance punched the wall, "It doesn't matter what's wrong with him! The only thing I want right now is revenge!"

Back at the Chaotix after when Tonya and the rest were through looking at the disk, they were all shocked.

Espio was leaning against the wall, "So that's what's wrong. A demon thing."

Charmy shrugged, "Who knew."

Tonya was sitting at her desk, "That stranger knew something about it."

Espio then thought about something, "Hey didn't that diary mention a Dark?"

Tonya looked over to Espio, "You mean that demon?"

"If Shadow knew what was going on with him then why did he go with that guy?" Vector asked.

Rouge was looking out the window, "He wanted more answers." She sighed, "I hope my Shad is all right."

Everyone looked at Rouge with surprised looks.

Vector smirked, "You like him don't you?"

Rouge faced Vector and made a slight smile. She looked back out the window, 'Please be okay...'
