Charmy's Parents

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day over the building that situated the chaotix detective agency, located somewhere in the outskirts of Station Square. The occupiers, consisted of a crocodile named Vector, a chameleon named Espio, and a young bee named Charmy. The three held a great reputation, for solving cases, should the price be right.

On this particular day, things were going pretty slow for the group. Vector lazed about in his chair at his desk listening to his head phones and counting money. Espio was meditating in his room and Charmy was looking through a box that he had which he'd never told his friends about, he kept it hidden well inside his room. He sighed sadly as he looked at a necklace that had belonged to his mother. "I wish I knew what happened to you guys." Charmy mumbled, his ears and wings drooping.

Little did he know he was about to get a lead. He hadn't realised that the front door to the agency had been knocked until Espio went to answer, the chameleon had rolled his eyes at the sight of his boss using his hands to strum an air guitar and bobbing his head as he passed by his office to see who was calling at the door.

"Hello, welcome to the Chaotix Detective Agency. Is there anything we can do to help you?" Espio asked as his eyes widened at the sight of an adult bee standing before him.

The bee was a male and he stood just a little taller than Espio, he was black and yellow and wore a black and yellow leather jacket and yellow leather gloves. His wings folded into his back, but you could still here a little buzzing sound from them. He also had striking blue eyes.

"Hello, yes, it would be appreciated if you could help me." The male bee replied with a nod.

Espio nodded in return and gestured for him to come inside, "my boss is in his office, he'll be able to discuss the details with you. Please follow me."

"Thank you." The bee said and did as asked.

They both passed Charmy's room and this caught the young bee's attention, he put his box away and poked his head out of his room door. He'd just missed Espio and the adult bee walk pass, but he was pretty sure it wasn't one of their friends, who'd come for a visit.

"We've must have a client, finally! Things were getting pretty boring around here." Charmy grinned and hurried out of his room, closing the door behind him.

…

Epsio lead the bee to Vector's officer and the crocodile was still strumming an air guitar with his eyes closed, the bee merely laughed at the sight and Espio sighed in annoyance, "excuse me, for a moment, I'll see if I can get his attention." He said and approached Vector and he poked him in the chest startling the crocodile who almost dropped his ipod.

Vector paused his music and frowned down at the chameleon normally it was Charmy who annoyed him like that, "Epsio, what's the meaning of this? I told ya I was on my break."

"Your breaks last for hours. Anyway, it may interest you to know, that we may have a potential client visiting us." Epsio explained gesturing to the male bee who stood before the office door.

Vector eyes widened, and he grinned at the thought of earning some cash "bout time, we haven't had a client for a couple of weeks now….Hey there, I'm Vector, the boss of the Choatix Agency, nice to meet ya." Vector greeted leaving his desk and approaching the bee who shook his hand with a nod and a smile.

"It's nice to meet you too, Vector you can call me Nector." The bee said as they shook hands.

"Nestor huh? Great name. So, how can we be of assistance?" Vector asked returning to his desk and sitting down at the table and was ready to take some notes. "Please, sit down." The croc said pointing at his chairs that situated in front of the desk.

"Thanks, well the reason I came to you guys, was to see if you'd be able to help me locate my son." Nestor explained with a sad sigh.

"Hm, I see. Sure, we've dealt with cases like that before…..Now, If you can tell us some details you know looks and such and possible location as to where he might, we can start right away and go find him." Vector explained.

"Well, I….I'm afraid it's….n-not as simple as that." Nestor said with a sigh fiddling with his hands.

Epsio raised his eyes feeling curious as to what that could mean, "how so?"

Nestor closed his eyes, but all three of them jumped when a voice startled each of them. "Hey guys, do we have a client? I sure hope so, it's getting boring around here!" Charmy yelled as he came in through the door flying around with his wings buzzing.

Vetcor groaned "Ack, Charmy, how many times I have told ya about doing that? Especially when there is a client present!"

Charmy grinned as he settled down and landed quietly next to Espio, he hadn't notice the adult bee sitting at the desk. "A dozen I think." He mumbled and flew up off the ground to hover around Epsio.

"Hm, I think it maybe more than that." Epsio muttered only to groan as Charmy poked him.

Vector shook his head and turned to Nestor whose eyes were wide at the smaller bee "sorry about that, the kid can't control himself when he gets excited." He explained.

Nestor almost looked like he was losing his breath, he held his chest as he stared at the young bee who was flying around. "Ch-cha…Charmy!" He exclaimed in shock.

Charmy stopped flying and landed beside the chameleon , all three detectives eyes widened at how Nestor could possibly know their young friends name. Charmy let his mouth hang open, "h-hey…How'd ya know my name? Whoa…Y-you're a bee just like me but bigger, never seen a bigger one before!" He exclaimed unable to close his mouth.

Nestor finally composed himself as he shook his head, "oh, Charmy….I….I can't believe it." He said as he reached out and hugged the younger bee.

Epsio raised his eyes as he got out of their way and stood next to vector, who leaned down to the chameleon. "Uh, Epsio…. You…uh any idea of what's going on here?" He whispered.

"Hm, well I have a hunch." Epsio whispered back.

"Uh, you mind letting go there? You're kidding hugging me to death…I think you could rival Amy's hugs." Charmy said as he tried to push himself away from Nestor who sheepishly let him go.

"Sorry about that…It's just…I…I haven't seen you in so long." Nestor explained trying to stop tears flowing from his eyes.

"Mind explaining what's going on?" Vector asked as he approached them and folded his arms, Nestor nodded as he watched Charmy.

"Uh, yes well….um" He said clearing his throat and paused a little, "uh, yes well, you…see, Charmy is my son." He said as he watched the team, suddenly freeze and Charmy fainted. "Oh, my goodness Charmy, I should have said that gentler!" He exclaimed as he freaked out picking up the young bee.

"Place him over here," said Episo gesturing to the couch in Vectors office.

Vector could not believe what he heard, and he frowned "can you prove this?!" He exclaimed not knowing why he didn't trust him.
