The next day couldn't have come quick enough for the both of them that day. Partly because Sonic's irrational thoughts were calmer during the morning and partly because Shadow could get some peace to thing about his next actions carefully. Even though the police were using their inquisition skills on the town citizens, Shadow couldn't help but smile. After all everything was going so perfectly... Soon Sonic would become so paranoid and convinced he was insane that he would push everyone away. Leaving him venerable. By himself, and hopefully leaving him completely dependent on Shadow.

Shadow's plan was simple, well put into context anyway. But Sonic was a quick thinker, and he also made fast recoveries. Making this ever so more difficult yet interesting.

All he had to do was to get Sonic to completely trust him; and judging the situation that was going to be easy...

"HEY! YOU LISENING TO ME?" Shadow shot from his thoughts when a certain someone was once again demanding his attention. A smirk found its way into Shadow's face; it seemed the drugs we starting to kick in already.

"Of course..." Shadow's tone was soft and almost in a seductive tone.

"Good! Cos I, I mean we need to get out of here."

"Hmm?"

"Int it obvious Shads? Thier gonna link it to me! I mean I can barely remember that night myself... what if I left something, or if someone saw me?" Sonic pinned his ears back as he tried to recall what happened "I don't even know why I did it... This aint me."

"Trust me when I say they won't link it to you."

"You don't know that!"

"Trust me I do," Shadow muttered smiling as he did so.

"What?"

"You worry about the consequences too much, just enjoy the fact she's' gone, after all that's what you wanted right?"

"What? No! I didn't mean t..."

"Well it's too late know, cant mess with time, it's done... pull yourself together and forget about it, or they'll find out, and I'm not going to help you if they do." Shadow was having a hard time keeping his composure at this point; why wasn't Sonic believing the lie that it was him? He'd believed everything else! "I asked you, and you confirmed it's not my fault you've got a conscience."

"I tired." Sonic hissed, "I'm going to lie down!"

Rolling his eyes Shadow left his apartment, he was sure Sonic wouldn't do anything crazy without him, and if he did it would be an added bonus.


"Have you got it?"

"Relax stripes; I never let you down... not after everything your doing for me..."

"Huh?"

"Look past is past I don't wanna bring it back up durin our lil discussion okay?" Scourge smiled, tossing a small bag to Shadow, "Be careful okay? I don't want him dead, I want this to be slow, don't give him too much, Ketamine is nasty and I don't want him suspicious!"

"I've told you this isn't for you, it's for me!" Shadow hissed.

"And I've told you stripes I can't help it if I'm gerrin a lil somethin out of this too, can I?"

"I guess not," Shadow threw his hands up in the air in defeat, this was pointless.

"Good, now get outta here stripes, okay?"

Gritting his teeth Shadow chaos controlled back to his flat, what was it with these people and their 'pet' names?

Now if he could only sneak into his room, after all there was no need for Sonic t believe Shadow as a drug addict or anything... "Where'd you go?" Crap too soon. Here comes the paranoia... Ignoring him completely Shadow slammed the door in his face.

Sighing Sonic headed for the door, he needed to speak to someone, besides Shadow, his friends... come to think of it he'd forgotten about them. How could he forget about Tail and Knuckles after everything, why did he go straight to Shadow for help? Why not them?

Letting a tear fall down his cheek Sonic sped to Tail's work shop, hoping, no begging he would be there.


Have to apologise had so much freaking course work that I forgot to upload... anyhow I know this is short but It's cos it's the best place to leave it, next one will be longer, promise! Let me know how you think, not to sure whether this lead is any good or whatever. x
(Oh and by the way Ketamine is some serious Shiz don't mess with it).
