Chapter 2: The Lucky Guess…..
Sonic was running through the forest where Shadow usually was (for some strange reason). It took Sonic about an hour to find Shadow since Shadow hated attention (We all know how Shadow is right?). When Sonic finally found Shadow, he was in his favorite position, leaning against a bark of a tree with his eyes closed and his arms folded.
"Hey Shadow," Sonic said after searching an hour to find him. Shadow just opened one eye and stared at him, leaving Sonic sort of scared. "Um…..okay Shadow I see you're annoyed at the moment, but I need your….." Sonic stopped since he didn't like the idea of him asking Shadow out of all people for help.
"……Go on….." Shadow said after noticing that Sonic had stopped mid sentence.
"Well…..You heard about the two cases that seem to be linked right?" Sonic asked.
"Yeh…….What's your point?" he said closing his opened eye.
"Well……I was hoping that you might know something about it" Sonic said looking at the ground. Shadow was intrigued by this remark.
"Why do you think that I might know something about this?" He asked with interest.
"Well….. You have experience with theft and all that…… I just thought….." Sonic replied with his arm behind his head. Shadow just rolled his eyes.
"So…..basically you came here to find me to find out if I know anything that might help you and the police because I have some experience in this kind of stuff." He replied coolly.
"If you want to look at it that way then yeh……" he admitted. There was a long silence till Shadow broke it.
"Why should I help you? You're working with the police….." he asked.
"Oh… You mean what happened between you and G.U.N." Sonic said remembering the feud between Shadow and G.U.N. Shadow nods his head but he wanted to ask Sonic something…….
"…….Why are you working with the police more often then before?" he asked opening both of his eyes.
"W-what you mean?" he asked trying to seem sincere.
"Well…… you didn't actually helped the police often… only just when you have the time to help them with robbers, thieves ect," He answered coolly closing both of his eyes, trying to figure out Sonic sudden change of heart. "If I remember correctly," he wanted to get this right, "It happened when Miss Rose disappeared, yes?" he asked. Sonic just looked at the ground once again. "So…..now I wonder…Why?" he went back into his deep thought. Sonic on the other hand was impressed by Shadow's little bit of detective work, but he wouldn't be able to guess why he was working with the police…...Would he?
"……… my best guess would be that you're trying to find Miss Rose by looking at the previous cases or by looking at the cases that are happening now, right?" Shadow looked at Sonic for his reply. Sonic was shocked. It took the others a couple of days to figure why he was in a miserable mood but Shadow must the first one to have figure it out in a couple of minutes. Shadow chuckled, by Sonic's stunned expression he guessed that he got it right.
Heh heh…..Shouldn't Shadow join the police if he guessed Sonic's so called secret…. (Laughs) that would be funny, I can see it now….. Shadow in a police uniform…heh heh... Oh c'mon that is funny…lol anyway plz review.
