"...Silver, can you come into my office please?" Vector The Crocodile asked as he poked his head out from the office.
"Erm... yes, Vector?" Silver The Hedgehog questioned as he wandered into Vector's office, sighing as both of his arms fell by his side.
Vector eyed Silver suspiciously as he rubbed his chin with his right hand, two giant piles of green dollar bills next to his wooden desk. "I've been noticing... you've been lacking lately in the work department. Is something wrong that I should be concerned with?"
Silver sighed as he rubbed his right arm with his left hand, frowning as he admitted to Vector, "Well... one of my friends passed away, and I just couldn't get them out of my mind..."
"...Which friend?" Vector asked, curious as he rolled his right hand around.
Silver sighed as he lowered his eyes, feeling a bit more depressed. "Well, she was pretty... not as much as Blaze, but cute. She was a cat too, but bluish in color."
"Did she have a name?" Vector asked again as he held his hands together.
"Yeah. Maddie." Silver replied with a depressed tone in his voice, taking a nearby slice of plain pizza with his right hand and munching on it to make himself feel a little better.
Vector looked down as he thought for a few moments, looking back at Silver and smiling as he patted him on the head with his right hand. "Hey. How about you take a break, and I'll handle the pizzas?"
Silver gasped as a grin came across his face, hugging Vector tightly. "Oh, Vector! I knew you would understand!" Silver then rushed out of the Pizza Hut, to get a much needed break.
Vector smiled, folding his arms together as he nodded his head. "That Silver... he's such a good kid." He then stretched his arms as he began filling in for Silver's shift, willing to work for once.
