As Eggman's attack on Station Square was fended off by Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, the Chaotix were going around asking people if they recognized the handwriting of the note that was found in the museum.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but do you recognize this handwriting?" Mighty asked a young human woman as he handed the note. The woman looked at the note, scratched her head and then shook her head.
"No, I've never seen this handwriting before. But I'm sure you'll find out if you keep asking around." The woman said to Mighty as she handed him the note.
"Let's try that elderly civilian over there!" Charmy said as he pulled Mighty over to the elderly civilian.
"Charmy, wait!" Mighty said as the elderly civilian turned around and looked at Charmy and Mighty.
"Oh, hello, whippersnappers." The elderly male said to Charmy and Mighty.
"Uh, hi." Mighty replied as Charmy took the note from him and handed it to the elderly male.
"Do you recognize the handwriting on this note, sir? The person who wrote this stole a sapphire from the Station Square Museum." Charmy explained.
The elderly male looked at the note. "Yes, I do recognize the handwriting on this note. The handwriting belongs to a man named Reginald Garland." He told Charmy and Mighty.
"Great!" Charmy exclaimed.
"And where can we find this Reginald Garland?" Mighty asked.
"I'll write down his address for you." The elderly male said to Charmy and Mighty as he got out a pen and a piece of paper and wrote down Reginald Garland's address. He then handed the paper to Mighty. "Here." The elderly male said as Mighty took the paper.
"Thanks for your time, sir. I'm sure you've done the city a great service." Mighty said to the male.
"You're welcome, whippersnapper. I was happy to help." The elderly male said as Charmy and Mighty went over to where Vector and Espio were.
"Vector! Espio! Mighty and I may have found a lead in our case!" Charmy said happily.
"Oh, really?! Great! What did you get?!" Vector asked.
"An elderly man recognized the handwriting on the note as coming from an individual named Reginald Garland, and he gave us Reginald Garland's address." Mighty explained.
"Are you sure the information's legit? It could fake information, for all I know." Espio said.
"I'm 99% sure the information is legit." Mighty replied.
"Yeah, and I'm 100% sure!" Charmy said.
Espio looked at Vector. "Well, Vector?" He asked.
"If Mighty is 99% sure, and Charmy 100%, I don't see why we shouldn't trust the information. Let's see if we can get any transport to Reginald Garland's address." Vector said. Suddenly, a taxi stopped in front of the four Chaotix.
"Wow! That was perfect timing!" Vector said as the four Chaotix got in the taxi together. The taxi then drove off.
"Where to, gentlemen?" The taxi driver asked.
"Take us to this address." Mighty said as he handed the address to the taxi driver. The driver checked it and handed it back to Mighty.
"I've heard that place is home to a dangerous family of psychopaths with man eating dogs, but if you really want me to take you there..." The taxi driver said.
"Just take us there already!" Vector told the driver.
"Okay, you got it." The driver said as he drove to Reginald Garland's house. About 5 minutes later, they arrived at the house in the suburbs of Station Square.
"Here we are. That'll be 10 rings." The driver said.
"Alright, here's 10 rings." Vector said as he paid the driver.
"Thanks, gentlemen. Have a nice day." The driver said as the Chaotix got out. The taxi then drove off again.
"Well, here we are. Outside Reginald Garland's supposed house. He better be home." Espio said as the Chaotix walked up to the front door. Vector pressed the doorbell.
"Is anyone home?" Vector called. Nobody responded, but the Chaotix could hear music from inside.
"Well, someone must be home, because I can hear music thumping through the walls." Espio said. Vector nodded and he pressed the doorbell again.
"Come on, we know you're in there!" Vector called again. Nobody responded still.
"No response, huh? I'll have to break down the door then. Stand back, guys!" Vector said as Espio, Charmy and Mighty backed up. Vector then punched open the door and the Chaotix went inside.
"Well, we're inside." Espio said. Vector nodded again. The music appeared to be coming from upstairs.
"The music seems to be coming from upstairs." Charmy said as he flew upstairs and heard the music coming from a room as Vector, Espio and Mighty walked upstairs.
"It's coming from in here..." Vector said as he walked up to the door and knocked on it. Nobody responded again. Vector knocked again.
"Open this door now!" Vector shouted. There was still no response.
"No response again. Now I have to break down this door too." Vector said as Espio, Charmy and Mighty backed up again and Vector punched open the door. An elderly male was inside the room, dancing to jazz music. The male turned the music off when the Chaotix entered.
"Hey, who the hell are you?" The elderly male asked.
"We're from the Chaotix Detective Agency. Are you Reginald Garland?" Vector asked.
"Yes, I am Reginald Garland. Now, what are you whippersnappers doing, trespassing in my house?" Reginald asked the Chaotix.
"We want to ask you a few questions." Espio told Reginald as he showed him the note from the museum. "There has been a theft in the museum, and we found this note with your handwriting on it. Care to explain the deal to us?" Espio asked Reginald. Reginald's eyes widened.
Meanwhile, at an ice cream shop in Station Square...
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy were all enjoying some nice ice cream. Sonic had a two scoop lemon flavored ice cream. Tails had a two scoop strawberry ice cream. Knuckles had a two scoop mint ice cream and Amy had a two scoop chocolate ice cream.
"Aaaah, there's nothing like relaxing with some ice cream after saving the day." Tails commented.
"Agreed, some time with some ice cream is a great way to take it easy after kicking Eggman's butt." Sonic said, agreeing with Tails' statement. Knuckles and Amy nodded as well. Once Amy had finished her ice cream, she got up.
"Okay, I'm gonna go shopping now. It's been great seeing you guys again." Amy said.
"Alright, bye, Ames. Look after yourself, you hear?" Sonic told Amy.
"I will, my darling Sonic! Speak to you later!" Amy said as you blew Sonic a kiss and ran off. Tails and Knuckles chuckled as Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Ah, Amy being Amy..." Sonic said.
"You know it." Tails chuckled.
"Mhm." Knuckles chuckled too.
As Amy left to go shopping, she suddenly saw a bright light shining in the distance.
"Oh! What could that be?" Amy said as she ran over to the source of the light, which came from outside of Station Square. Eventually, she found the source of the light in a forest near Station Square. The source of the light appeared to be a capsule of some sort. Amy was rather bewildered and went over to the capsule.
"Now what could this be?" Amy asked herself as she looked at the capsule. Suddenly, the capsule opened, and a figure emerged from it. The figure appeared to look like a Rocky, a seal creature.
"Oh! It's a Rocky! Hey, little guy! Or gal! Or whatever you are!" Amy said to the Rocky. The Rocky looked at Amy with a worried look on its face.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Amy asked.
The Rocky then began making sounds as if it was trying to tell Amy something.
"Your buddies have been captured?" Amy asked.
The Rocky made more sounds.
"Dr. Eggman has captured them and is using them to power his Badniks?" Amy asked again.
The Rocky nodded.
"Oh, you poor thing! Let me help you! I'll help you free your buddies!" Amy said to the Rocky. The Rocky smiled and jumped into Amy's arms.
"I'll name name you Buck, okay?" Amy said to the Rocky. Buck nodded in approval of his nickname. Amy then ran off with Buck in her arms.
To be continued in the next part where Sonic, Tails and Knuckles continue their adventure, the Chaotix get answers and Amy starts off her first adventure of the story.
