Jason put his hood on. It covered most of his face from the security camera hidden inside the ATM. He held his hand out and the screws started to spin. They flew into his hand and he put them in his pocket. He slowly opened the ATM and grabbed about $1,000,000. This should be enough, he thought as he closed the ATM. He grabbed the screws from his pocket and they flew back into the sockets and screwed back in.

"I'd like a suite, please." he said.
"$16,000." the person at the counter said.
Jason handed her $16,000.
"You actually have $16,000 in cash?" she asked.
"I come from a rich family." Jason lied. "My folks let me come here for a birthday present."
She just looked at him, smiled, and handed him a key card. "Have a nice stay."
Jason took the card and smiled. "I will."

He unlocked the door and walked in. He closed the door and opened the window. The room was huge. There were couches in the middle. A TV by the window, A fireplace beneath the TV. A bedroom to the left that included a bathroom. There was also a bathroom to the right. He sat down on one of the couches. The others flew in through the window. Wave was carrying Jason's board.
"Nice place." Wave said, setting hers and Jason's board down by the TV.
"This place is amazing." said Tails.

It was getting late, so everyone went to bed. Jason and Wave took the double-bed. Silver and Blaze took the two single beds in the guest room. Jet, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails each got their own couch that doubled as a bed.
Jason looked over at Wave who was wide awake.
"Something wrong?" he asked her.
"Oh, nothing." she said. "It's just that... well... i feel useless."
Jason rolled over to face her completely. "Wave. You're not useless, okay?"
"Well, what can I do?" she asked, still looking up at the ceiling. "Sonic can run fast. Tails can fly. Silver can use psychokinesis. Blaze can control fire. Even Knuckles has strength. You have almost everything. What about me?"
"And Jet." Jason pointed out.
Wave looked over at him briefly and smiled.
"Wave. Look at me." Jason said gently. She did. "You don't need powers to be special. Or useful. How many people do you think can fix a space ship? Not a whole lot of people. But most importantly, you're my friend. That will never change. You'll always be important, and useful, to me."
Wave smiled and Jason smiled back.

A mysterious figure crept in through the partially opened window and moved silently passed Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Jet. It made its way into the main bedroom. The figure belonged to Mephiles' undercover agent. She walked over to Jason and held a small vile over Jason's mouth. She tipped it over and black liquid poured out of it and into Jason's mouth. He sat up quickly causing the liquid to move down his throat. He grabbed his chest in pain and started screaming. Wave sat up quickly.
"Jason?" she asked frantically. She looked over and saw a figure leave the bedroom. "I'll be right back, Jason." she said, taking off after this mysterious assassin. She ran passed the others on the couches, waking them up.
"What's going on?" asked Sonic, half worried and half tired.
Something's wrong with Jason." she answered, grabbing her Gear. "Make sure nothing happens to him." She jumped out the window, slid the board under her feet, and hovered in the air. She saw someone jumping over rooftops and took off. The figure saw her coming and threw something at her. Wave jerked to the side at the last second as a blade shot passed her head. If she had waited, she'd be a goner. Whoever this was, she thought, is clearly an expert. The figure jumped down into an alley and disappeared. When Wave arrived there was no one there. Just an open sewer drain. I really don't want to do this, Wave thought as she flew to the open sewer drain. She grabbed the board, pulled it out from under her and dropped down into the sewer. Luckily she landed on a walkway and not in the sewage. She made her way deeper and deeper into the sewer and further and further away from the hotel. And Jason. It got to the point where she believed that whoever came down here was probably not down here anymore. She turned around to head back when she was engulfed in a cloud of black smoke. Everything got darker and darker until she finally passed out.
