"WHAT?" Sonic shrieked, his ears perked up and a scowl across his muzzle. Kyra rolled her eyes, waiting for Scourge to answer. Shadow was also fuming, while Tails was shocked and angry.

"What the hell does any of this have to do with Scour-"

"Scourge! How are ya, lad?" Kyra said happily, ignoring Sonic and Shadow's arguing toward her.

"Fine, Ky. I'm-" Scourge was interrupted by Shadow snatching the phone and cursing him practically at the top of his lungs. Kyra glowered at Shadow as she smacked him on the back of his head before taking the phone back. Shadow was still apparently pissed and Sonic was right up there with him.

"Sorry about that, lad. Apparently my newest clients happen to be bitchy children." Kyra said into the phone, still glaring at Shadow.

Sonic could practically see the toothy smirk Scourge had on his face as he spoke.

"Ah…Blue, Stripes. Long time no see, eh? It's been pretty boring without someone to use as a punching bag. Certainly not near as fun."

Sonic was about to curse Scourge out but Kyra sent a warning glance at him. She smirked at Scourge's remark. "Come off it, Scourge. Just be happy I got that beer you wanted. Did you know it's really cheep here in the states? It's bloody fantastic!"

Scourge laughed. "Yeah, I do know. Matter of fact, we just got a new shipment of scotch, tequila, and of course your favorite…"

Kyra grinned widely. "Carlsberg! You sly dog, you!"

The trio stared at her, absolutely dumbfounded. Tails cocked his head to the side. "Carlsberg?"

Kyra put her hand over the mouthpiece on the phone. "Danish beer company. Anyway…Scourge, I need a favor."

"And that would be?" Scourge replied, his tone not very enthusiastic.

Kyra scratched behind her neck nervously. "Err…pigmy rattlesnake venom and some mountain dwarves that are good with mechanic work?"

"PIGMY RATTLESNAKE VENOM? Are you fuckin' crazy?" Kyra held the phone the farthest she could away from her ear, wincing from the loud volume. Sonic snorted as he tried to hold back a laugh.

"Yes, yes, I know it's difficult to get. But please, Scourgey? Just this one more time? " Kyra said into the phone. A few low grumbles and muttering came from the other line.

"Whatever. But if I get bitten one more time…"

"Just get Ollie to do it. He's got the equipment and he's good at milkin' snakes." Kyra cracked her knuckles, listening to his reply before taking a swig from the almost-empty bottle of liquor.

"Okay, fine but- wait…mountain dwarves that are good with mechanic work?….Kyra."

She gulped. "Yeeees?"

"…You wrecked your car again, didn't you?"

Kyra frowned. Sighing she uttered, "Yes…a minotaur smashed it and some shenkaii ruined the paint…bastards…."

Scourge snorted. "Okay, I'll try an' find someone that'll do it. You still have your '68 Firebird, right?"

Kyra took another gulp of liquor, finishing it off. "Yeah, but still. That Mustang was awesome. Original body, leather seats, engine, everything! That Firebird is nice, but you know I like…well, liked, my Mustang. An besides-"

"Can we get past the friendly chit-chat and to the damned point?" Shadow grumbled, arms folded over his chest and a signature scowl across his muzzle. Kyra nodded, holding up her free hand in defense.

"Alright, lad. Calm down. Anyway," She put the phone back up to her ear. "Scourge, I'm gonna need you to have everything ready by six o'clock, Italy time."

"Okay, Ky. I'll see if I can get 'em. Watch yourself!"

"Same to you, lad! Cheers!" Kyra exclaimed before hanging up the phone. Tails furrowed his brows. "Italy? Is that where Scourge is?"

Kyra nodded. "Tuscany, to be more precise."

Shadow raised a brow quizzically. "What's in Tuscany?"

Looking over at him, Kyra grinned widely. "Best damn rendezvous point and demon's bar in the world; The Black Buzzard."

Sonic frowned. This was certainly getting a bit strange…

"Okaaaay, but isn't there something else that you have to do?" He asked. Kyra sighed, but nodded.

"Aye. I have to get my Mustang fixed, and also gather a DNA sample from the crime scene."

Tails's ears perked up. "A DNA sample? I can go get it and run it through the data base in my computer! It'll make the process of finding whoever did it easier."

"Well," Kyra said, throwing her jacket on. "What're we waitin' for? To the crime scene, lad! Talley hoe!"

Flinging the door open, she leapt out of the house, changing into a wolf in the process and racing toward Amy's demolished house.
