Sonic stared at the security screen. The jump scare face of an EXE was frozen on the screen and later disappeared. A little impatient, he pressed the "Toggle Map" button over and over but ended up smashing the "Play Audio" button, breaking the screen. He moved over to the laptop to fix it. "Well, shoot." He said to himself as the laptop started rebooting.

"Security guard!" said an EXE in the distance, "Where are you?!"

"You ain't touching my buns...hun!" Sonic yelled back as he switched back to the security screen. "Oh, gosh darn it." Shadow EXE was staring at him through the office window.

"When I'm done with you," He threatened, "Your face will look like mashed potatoes."

"Yeah, whatever, man." Sonic said coolly, pressing the "Play Audio" button. Hello?

"Okay," said Shadow as he ran off, "I'm gonna go find that child, but then I'm gonna kill you!"

"Okay bye! Happy travels!" Relieved, he went back to the screen. "Okay, let's see here…"

Shadow pounded on the window scaring Sonic out of his seat. "There was no child in there!"

"Double check." Hi.

"I know your messing with me! Where's that child? WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THEM!?"

"DUDE! I don't know! Just...um...Doll's behind you..."

"Doll?"

Tails Doll was behind , smiling like a kid who just got fifty dollars. "Hello!" He said.

"Hello, Doll…" said Shadow.

"Hi, Doll!" greeted Sonic.

"Hi, security guy!" said Tails, not recognizing Sonic.

Shadow pulled him aside, "Doll, don't talk to this guy, he's an ******le!"

Tails gasped, "Profanity!"

"Doll, he's hiding a child some place and he won't show me where. Do you know what that means?" Tails stared at him like he was an idiot. "We can't give him a birthday party, Doll."

"No!"

"Yes! We need to find him, Doll! He wants birthday cake!"

"I'll do my best, Ma'am!"

Shadow paused and watch Tails take off. "Stop reading fanfics! They're confusing you!" (You reading this right now aren't you Tails?) He turned back to Sonic. "I'm starting to think there is no child."

"You just gotta look harder, man." said Sonic, mashing the "Play Audio" button again.

"THAT'S IT, I'M COMING IN THERE!" Hello? "But first I'm gonna do one final check to make sure that child doesn't exist." He ran off.

Sonic scoffed, "This job is a total joke." Suddenly, he turned around, "WHO THE **** ARE YOU!?"

He almost didn't recognize Knuckles, what with the darker skin and black eyes. "Hello!" said before doing his jumpscare thing, causing Sonic to scream like a little girl.

Shadow heard him. "Oh, this is my chance to catch him by surprise!" He said to himself as he ran into the office. "HAVE AT THEE!" CLANG! "AH MY KNEES!"

"GIT CRO BARRED BETCH!" yelled Sonic, "Thanks for the crowbar, Knuckles."

"Knuckles! WHAT THE ****?!"

"I don't know," said Knuckles, "I'm bored!"

"Hey, Shadow…" Sonic whispered.

"WHAT!" Shadow EXE whisper-shouted back.

"Do you hear that?"

Silence. Ding dong ding dong. It was 6:00 "Oh, go **** yourself."
