Chapter 5

"Does anybody know why we're here?" Laya asked, sitting in a wheelchair covered in casts and bandages. "It's almost time for my pills."

"I don't know." Sonic shrugged. "Vector and Espio called and told me to get everyone together."

Knuckles, Laya, Charmy and Cream had been brought into Amy's room by Sonic and Sumowa, and they all waited for the other two members of the Chaotix team to show up.

The door opened. Everybody looked, but it wasn't them.

"Hi guys." Rouge said sarcastically as she, Shadow, and Bokkun walked into the room.

Omega followed behind, but was too wide to fit through the doorway. He walked into the doorframe twice before it crumbled and he continued inside.

"Savvy as always Omega." Laya nodded as he settled himself in the corner.

"I hate hospitals." He droned.

Knuckles checked his watch. "I hope they hurry. I have a sponge bath scheduled."

Everyone turned and stared.

He held up his hands. "Kidding, kidding."

The door opened and everyone turned again. Vector and Espio walked in, Vector wearing a 'Sherlock Holmes' hat and holding a pipe.

"Nice look Vector." Charmy said, both thumbs in the air.

"Who cares about his look?" Knuckles interrupted. "Do you know who the killer is?"

"As a matter of fact we do." Vector said, pacing in front of them. "And they're sitting in this room."

They all looked around at each other.

"First, we'll start at the beginning." Vector waved the pipe. "Before he was brutally shut down, Omega managed to figure out the pattern of the attacks." He stopped for a dramatic pause, putting the pipe in his mouth. Bubbles floated out of the end. "The killer was attacking according to the colours of the rainbow. ROY G BIV. All those associated with red were attacked first, then orange, yellow, and so on." He paused again for affect. "And then there was the evidence. Espio?"

Vector stepped aside to let Espio explain.

"At each of the crime scenes we found different pieces of evidence and information that led us to the killer." He began, everyone listening intently. "In a small closest at Amy's we found crumbs. At Eggman's, a hair. In Knuckles' back, a bullet from Rouge's stolen gun. And in the stairwell, some pollen."

"What does it all mean?" Sumowa asked impatiently.

"After analyzing carefully, we determined it could only point to one person." Espio stared at them all.

"Drum roll please!" Charmy beat an invisible drum.

"The killer," Espio pointed. "Is Cream."

Everybody gasped.

"Me?!" Cream gasped, looking around nervously. "It wasn't me! I wouldn't hurt anybody!"

"But you did Cream." Espio insisted. "The crumbs from the closet that only you are small enough to fit in were from your cake that was for your picnic with Amy. You sent Cheese to steal Rouge's gun because it would be much more difficult for him to be seen. The pollen we found in the stairwell was from the flowers you brought to Amy at the time of the attack. And I'm sure if we test the hair we found it would belong to you. As for your attack, you bumped yourself on the head to throw us off your trail."

Everyone in the room looked at Cream. She started breathing nervously and looking around.

"But it wasn't me, how could you say that? You're all my friends!" She squeaked. "I wouldn't!"

They all stared at her silently. Suddenly she frowned and her eyes went red.

"OK, it was me." She hissed. "And you know what? I'd do it again! You're evil, each and every one of you!"

"That's enough Cream," Vector said. "It's time to go."

"No!"

Before anyone could react Cream shot forward and grabbed Sumowa. "I'm not going anywhere!" She held a scalpel to Sumowa's throat.

"Um, help?" Sumowa squeaked.

Everyone who was able to stood up from their chairs.

"Everybody back!" Cream said, moving towards the door. "Back or say goodbye to the Seedrian!"

They all shifted around the room, waiting for an opportunity to stop her.

"Cream!" Laya shouted. "What would your mother say?"

"Take it easy Cream." Vector held up his hands. "No one needs to get hurt."

"Quiet!" Cream snapped.

Everyone went quiet and Cream shuffled closer to the door.

"Hyaaaaaah!" Suddenly Knuckles went flying through the air, his foot making contact with Cream's head.

Cream fell to the ground unconscious and Sumowa stumbled away.

"Oh my God." Knuckles fell to his knees. "I think I ruptured something."

"Aaaaww!" Sumowa ran forward and hugged him tightly. "You do care!"

He winced in pain. "Get, off!"

Vector and Espio stepped forward and hauled Cream off the floor.

"Well," Vector said. "Our work here is done."

"Yeah, work here is done." Charmy repeated.
