No Brotherly Love

Chapter 7: Another Annoying Face

Sonics POV:

I was waiting patiently for Amy to wake up. For once I could wait.

For one thing, this was Amy, I could wait for her as long as it takes.

Another thing was all the questions racing through my mind.

How could Tails, someone I'd call my friend, my best friend, my...brother, betray me?

A part of me refused to believe that was Tails, but with Egghead gone, it had to be Tails.

I was waiting in the medical area of this 'Echo Base 2'. It was hardly a brilliant set up.

I could see cockroaches peering their ugly heads from the cracks in the floors and walls.

People were clearly not getting their medical needs satisfied.

I sat forward and started to twiddle my thumbs. I COULD wait, but I was getting bored.

I couldn't think of any answers for my questions.

As I continued by thinking session, I was completely oblivious to a figure approaching me.

"Sonic The Hedgehog...you've been a right pain in the ass to find. Yet, here you are. Arriving in the time that we need you most. Just like old times."

I looked up, and I saw a female fox. She had an australian accent and a very cocky grin spread across her face.

I looked to her uniform, which like all cocky, arrogant females, was made of leather.

I looked to her shoulder and saw very familiar letters.

The words were 'G', 'U' and, you guessed it, 'N'.

G.U.N.

I'll admit, me and G.U.N have some very positive history, but their betrayal was a step to far.

No matter what circumstances, I refused to work with G.U.N after what they did.

She brought her hand to my shoulder and said sympathetically, "I'm sorry for what happened to Commander Hedgehog."

"Hedgehog? Her name is Amy Rose, not Amy Hedgehog. Why would you call her that?" I asked with a frown.

"She insisted that we do so. But she alows her friends to call her by her real name." She replied while smiling.

I pushed her hand from my shoulder, stood up and, in a rather hostile tone, said, "Well, quit playing nice and help Amy."

"I'm not here for Miss Ro--Commander Hedgehog. I'm here for you."

"Me? Why?" She was about to answer but I put my hand out to interrupt her and said, "Wait, let me guess. Hmm, oh, I know. You want me to help you with all this crap. 'Coz if it is, then forgive me for this but fuck off."

I started to walk away, but the fox grabbed my arm and said in a rather sarcastic tone, "Now, now Sonic. If your not going to help ME. Then why should I help YOU?"

With an annoyed huff, I replied to this with, "What are you getting at?"

"Well, you want the commander in that room there to get better, right? If you don't help me then the commander's heart rate is gonna hit zero. You see Sonic, all this medical equipment belongs to G.U.N, hell, everything here belongs to G.U.N. Even you."

I sniggered and replied to this threat with, "Yeah, suuuurrrreeee you do."

I shook my head and turned away.

"Oh, Sonic before you go, one last thing."

"Yeah?"

"Catch."

The fox threw some sort of datapad to me.

I stared at the object in my hands then to the fox.

"If you care about Rosie, you'll take that assignment." She said with a triumphant smile.

She started to walk in the opposite direction. She raised her hand but carried on walking before she shouted, "You have 48 hours!"

I frowned at her. I then turned away and stared down at the datapad.

I smiled then thought 'This may be THEIR assignment, but I'm doing this MY way.'
