Storm hold onto his board and the flower, very close to him, as he walked on the streets. It was dark and lonely, the street lights flickering near him. There was no one on the streets, no one at all. Storm looked over to his rights and to his left, nervously walking straight to the lights he was able to see from the distance.

"Just some few…blocks to go…" Storm told himself. He passed a street where all the street lights were off. This gave him a chill and walked the opposite way. The way he started to walk in was a street with tall, dark buildings. He didn't dare to look up, someone could come up from behind and get him. He looked forward and walked.

"Just look for the lights. Lights, lights, li-" Storm told himself before he jumped up. He swore he heard someone up above him. He looked around and saw nothing. He started to speed walk but heard the sound again; which make him run. The faster he ran the more he was able to hear the sound of someone flying or something of that sort. He needed to rest and picked to stop under a street light that actually worked. He huffed, trying to regain his breath. But he immediately hold onto it as he heard footsteps. He looked all over the place but it was too dark. He placed the flower next to his chest, to keep it safe. The footsteps got louder and louder.

"Who is it?" Storm called out, hoping it wasn't a mugger. He looked down, a blue shoe coming to view and then another.

"W-whoa, ummm…., b-buddy." The secret person came into view. It was yellow squirrel, with a blue vest, looking nervous himself. He had his hands, palms facing Storm, as in showing that he wasn't going to hurt him.

"I'm Ray the flying s-squirrel. Vector told me to find y-you." The yellow squirrel stuttered. Vector practically jumped up in joy when he heard the crocodile's name.

"Vector? You know him?" Storm asked with a smile; it seemed to help the nervous mammal.

"Yeah. I'm the one that told him that I have seen your friend, J-jet." Ray smiled back, still kind of nervous.

"You saw Jet? Where?" The albatross grabbed hold onto the squirrel's shoulders, making him tense up in fear.

"Uhh…ummm…uhhh…" Ray seemed like his head was spinning. This made Storm a bit impatient, he really wanted to see his friends again. He looked sternly at Ray, which didn't help since it looked like he was about to faint.

"Ray?" It sounded like Storm was pleading at him.

"I-i-i-i-i-I s-s-saw them at t-the c-c-club b-babylon. M-miss Rouge was ch-chasing them." Ray finally stuttered out.

"Can you take me?" Though Storm knew where to go, he wanted to make sure before he ran in circles.

"T-that w-way." Ray was pointing to the lights that Storm was originally was following. He let go of the poor squirrel and started to run towards that direction. After some few steps, he ran back to the squirrel that was frozen in his place.

"Are you gonna come with me?" Storm asked.

"N-no. I n-need to k-keep patrolling. You n-never when y-you w-will find s-some information." Ray explained as he lowered his head to Storm before he looked up and smiled. He then turned around and flew off. Storm looked at him in curiosity, wondering how he can do that. After Ray disappeared, Storm shook his head and ran towards the light of Club Babylon.
