Hey guys here is Chapter 2, enjoy
The Next day Axel woke up after having a goodnight sleep he headed to the kitchen and decided to pour himself a cup of coffee "oh god that good coffee, this Keurig machine is really good to have, no hassle nothing"
Axel turned on the TV to the news to see what's on tap for today
"that right folks it has been confirm there was a winning ticket sold in last night's draw it has been confirmed by the SS lotto corporation that someone in Station Square is in possession of the 20-million-dollar winning ticket"
Axel scuffed and said "well congrats to the lucky bastard who won it, I bet you I got not even a single number" he said as he looked at the ticket and saw the numbers on it,
"in cased you missed it folks here are the winning numbers from last night's draw"
Displaying the numbers on the screen Axel looked at his ticket looking at his numbers and then look at the TV, he saw one of the numbers on the TV matched one on his ticket and he saw another one match and another and another and another until he looked at the TV and then his ticket and realized something, all the numbers on screen matched that of his ticket. Glancing at the TV and then his ticket and back to the TV and his ticket and TV and then ticket then TV and then ticket until he realized it.
"OH MY FUCK, DID I WIN THE LOTTO!?" Axel almost shouted, he almost couldn't believe it he was trying not to believe it but it was staring him in the face, what he was holding in his hands was the 20-million-dollar winning ticket, "okay clam down Axel, this is got to be a mistake I know I'll go out and get a newspaper it should have the results on that, yeah that's what I''ll do, it's just a small mistake that's all"
Axel quickly showered and got dressed and headed out to the nearby news stand and picked up a news paper he quickly turned to the page that have last night's lotto draw and looked at the numbers and then reached in to his pocket and pulled out his lotto ticket and looked though the numbers
He worse fears came true, the numbers on the paper did in fact match that of his ticket
"oh god this can't be, it really is true" Axel was almost gonna faint but managed to keep his composure, he paid for the paper and walked towards his apartment, "I need to tell someone, I know I'll call Sonic he'll have to see this" Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his cell phone and began to dial Sonic's number
Meanwhile we find a sleeping Sonic alongside his girlfriend Heather, his cell phone starts to ring on the table next to him stirring in his sleep he gets one eye open and reaches over for his cell, he looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Axel calling him
"Yo Ax what's going on?" Sonic said tiredly
"Sonic I kinda got a big problem"
"problem? Is everything okay what's wrong?
"well nothing really, listen you might think I'm crazy if I said this"
"what is it?
"well how I put this, remember last night's lotto draw"
"well yeah, what's that got to do with anything?"
"well uh, I think I… I won"
"wait what do you mean you won?"
"well I watched the news today and the lottery corporation said there was one winning ticket sold and I checked and it was mine"
"whoa, whoa whoa hold on a sec are you saying you won 20 million dollars?
"look I know it sounds crazy but I even went to get a newspaper and my numbers on my ticket were on it"
"Axel your really starting to freak me out"
"dude I'm sorry I just don't even know where to begin with this"
"look I'll tell you what, meet me at the coffee shop and bring the ticket I'll check make sure if it's correct"
"yeah okay I'll be there in five minutes"
"alright see you there"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the coffee shop in downtown Station Square Axel was sitting in a booth where he was waiting for his friend to show up, after about a minute Sonic shows up and see Axel sitting down at a nearby booth and makes his way to him taking a seat opposite to him,
"dude you really freaked me out over the phone, what's going on?"
"well like I said I won the lotto" Axel said as his sipped his cup of coffee he order
"well do you have the ticket so I can check?" Sonic asked
Axel reached into his pocket and pulled out the lotto ticket and passed it to Sonic, he grabbed today's newspaper and turned the page to last night's lotto results looking to see the numbers and then Axel's ticket, he was stunned he couldn't believe what he was seeing
"oh my god, you gotta be shitting me, you were telling the truth"
"see I told you I wasn't lying" Axel said quietly
Sonic put his hand over his mouth in shock, he was looking to see if anyone was watching
"does anyone know about this!?" he asked
"no, you're the only one, dude what am I gonna do if everyone finds out there gonna mobbed me in a bad way, I gotta get out of this city fast for a while"
"where would you go?"
Axel taught about that for a moment and started flipping through the newspaper until his eye caught a certain page
"here, I'll go here" Axel pointed
Sonic looked at it and said "Sapphire City, god damn that place is amazing I always wanted to go there"
Axel taught about it and said "well now is your chance, of course that is if you want to come with me?"
"whoa you mean you want me to come too? Sonic asked
"dude there is no way I'm going alone, come on it will be great, 20 million in our pockets we can do this"
Sonic taught about it for a moment he always wanted to go to Sapphire City and he would have a great reason to go to get away from the city and help his friend, his mind was made up
"alright what the hell I'm in" Sonic said
Axel was excited and gave Sonic a brotherly hand shake "that's what I'm talking about, alright so how do we do this"
Sonic was thinking for a moment until his taughts were interrupted
"SONIKKU YOU'RE HERE" said a familiar voice
Looking over to the location of that voice Sonic's face went pale "oh crap it's Amy, why now? Quick side over so she can't get in?"
Amy walked over to where Sonic & Axel was sitting, "oh hi guys might if I join ya" Amy said
Both Sonic and Axel looked at each other thinking what to say, they could easily have said 'no get lost' but they didn't want to make a scene, plus they need to hurry to cash the ticket and collect the money, luckily Axel spoke
"oh sorry Amy we were just leaving Sonic and I got some thing we need to take care of"
Sonic was trying to think of a story to go along with the plan, "yeah that's right, we promised our friend Brett that we help him move some stuff over to his new place, we need to hurry, take it easy Amy" Sonic said as he and Axel quickly hurried out of the coffee shop and outside, Amy was confused and angry at the same time
"oh that Sonic how dare he stand me up like this, no matter he will be mine one day" Amy smiled
Making their way to the lottery corporation's headquarters Sonic began to spoke
"ok we'll do this, you present the ticket collect the money and we run" Sonic said
Axel was confused about this "uh run where?"
"Axel you realize what their gonna do right, you give them the ticket and take your picture you'll be on camera and people are gonna see you, there's no way outta that otherwise we don't get paid"
Axel knew there was no hope in secretly collecting the winnings he was thinking about and then it hit him
"wait I got it, it's a good shot but we need to move like asap"
Sonic was a little puzzled, he's asked
"what did you have in mind?"
"as soon as the pictures are done being taken we go zipping to Tails' place and get him to fly us to Sapphire City"
A confused look appeared on Sonic's face "uh why can we just take a regular flight at the airport"
"because people are gonna find out quick that were boarding the plane and it's not gonna be easy to escape from that knowing that everyone we'll see I won 20 million, at least we fly with Tails we can take some stuff that the security at the airport would check us for and find" Axel said
Knowing he was right Sonic spoke up "alright here's what I'll do then, I'll get us duffle bag that way we can put the cash in it and I'll call Tails and tell him to get everything ready"
"are you sure he'll help us?"
"trust me he's help us a lot plus we'll pay him as well" Sonic said
"alright fine, you get the bag and call Tails meet me in front of the lotto HQ in 5-10 minutes"
Sonic headed to a nearby sporting store and Axel continued to the lottery HQ, after about a minute he finally arrives to his destination
"okay, here we go" Axel said as he walked up the steps leading him to the front entrance, he proceeded inside and took it all in, "man this place is huge, it's no wonder these guys are in business for a long time"
He proceeded to walk to the receptionist desk and was greeted by a young girl working there
"Hi there how can I help you today" she politely asked
"yeah is this where winning ticket holders go if they win the jackpot"
The girl responded "that's correct sir, all top prize ticket holder come here to claim their winnings, do you have a winning ticket sir?" she asked
Axel proceeded in reaching into his pocket and pulled out his ticket and presented to the receptionist, she took it and saw the results
"oh you must be the one who won the 20 million dollar draw, congratulations sir it's must be a huge surprise that you won"
"oh indeed I was surprised"
"alright I'm gonna call Mr. Thomson, he's the director of operations he will be the one to present you with your winnings" she said
After waiting for a while Axel was greeting by the Director of Operations Mr. Thomson and he lead Axel to some sort of celebration area he sees live cameras and photographers
"oh crap this cannot be good" Axel said as he cursed himself for this, it wouldn't be long until everyone found out about it. He was being interviewed by reporters and then he was presented with a big cheque with the amount showing 20 million dollars with his name on it.
"oh god I hope Sonic is ready" Axel said to himself
After about 15 minutes of talking and picture taking Axel was presented with a briefcase he opened to reveal the money of his winnings
"oh my god it's all here" Axel faced lid up
He walked out of the building with the case in hand and quickly spotted Sonic waiting for him
"you got it?"
"yup it's all here, we gotta go now, people are gonna find out, let's move" Axel screamed
Without wasting a moment Sonic and Axel quickly ran as fast as they could without making eye contact with anyone they made their way to the train station and quickly boarded the train to Tails' workshop.
While on the train they kept their heads down not looking at anyone, knowing they got a few minutes to spare Axel spoke up.
"you called Tails right"
"yup he already know, he's waiting for us at his shop"
"good there some things I'll need to take with me"
"what are you gonna take?"
"you'll see"
After about five minutes they arrive to their destination, quickly getting up the train they make a bee line out the station
"come on we gotta move"
Sprinting would best explain what Sonic and Axel are doing, they run quickly to Tails' workshop as it is close by, finally after running they make it, without wasting time they knock on the door, and opening the door was their long time little brother Tails
"hey you came come on in" Tails greeted
Without wasting time they walk in and quickly get to work,
"T is the tornado ready" Axel asked
"she's all set waiting on you guys" Tails said
"great, T is the safe upstairs?
Tails nodded
"alright wait here I gotta get my stuff"
Axel ran upstairs to the study room of Tails' workshop, he found the safe located behind a big painting, removing the painting revealed a safe with 9 buttons and a retina scanner, he quickly pushed the buttons and move his face towards the retina scanner with a light scanning his eye, after a few seconds it beeped and the safe opened revealing the items Axel is looking for,
"just the way I left it" Axel said as he collected his stuff, in the safe there were a holster vest that had many pockets for hand gun ammunition, he took off his sweater he was wearing and put on the holster, he then reach into the safe and pulled out a big case, he opened it and inside was a 10mm hand gun that he grabbed, he pulled out the clip in the gun to check the how much ammo he had, it was a full clip, he inserted the clip back into the gun and put in his holster vest, also in the case was at least 30 ammo clips, he took one by one the clips and inserted them in his holster vest he was able to fit 10 the most, the rest he put in the case and closed it and put it back into the safe, the last thing he needed was the one weapon he always trust next to his gun and that was his lightsaber, he grabbed the saber hilt and put hooked it to his belt clip.
"alright that should be all" Axel said as he put everything back into the safe and closed it and put the painting back up on the wall, he then put his sweater back to hide his holster vest and went back downstairs
"okay we got everything, there is only one thing we need to do before we go?"
"what's that?
"the sim card we need to change them on our phones quick, that way they can't track us, I'll get them Sonic load the cash in the duffel bag but keep a good chunk for Tails, he deserves it" Axel as he looked at Tails
"Guys I don't even know what to say, Thanks for this"
"just make sure you don't tell anyone about this bro, this is between us three if anyone ask where we are you say you don't know no matter what just stick to the plan, alright?" Sonic said
"I got this guys you can count on me" Tails proudly said
Axel quickly came back and got two small cards in his hand
"alright these are the sim cards, Sonic turn off your phone and take out your sim card and put this one in" Axel gave a sim card to Sonic to put in his phone, Axel proceeded in doing the same for his phone as well
"so what happens when someone calls my number?
"it will go directly to voicemail; these sim cards have different numbers both numbers are on each others phone" Axel said
"alright so looks like were ready, shall we go?" Sonic asked
At last they were ready with their equipment in tact well mostly Axel's equipment their proceeded to the hanger of Tails' plane the tornado, Tails jumps in the pilot seat and Sonic takes the seat behind him and Axel takes the seat behind Sonic, the only cargo on board is the duffel bag with 20 million dollars in tact a good portion of the cash they gave to Tails for his help which he stored safely in his workshop
The hanger bay door opens and the Tornado's engine is revving up for take off
"alright T let's take off" Axel shouted as the engine was loud
"Roger that let's go" Tails said as he began to fly down the runway and as soon as they got to the end Tails moved the plane's throttle stick down to lift the plane in the air.
At last they were airborne and into the sky, but most importantly to Sapphire city.
