Things That Can Give You Away

--Near Apt. 519--

In the dark alley where Knuckles had just been, Silver was awaiting his chief's arrival. He had been called to meet him at this area for an unexplained reason, so he tapped his foot on the sidewalk floor, then noticed something across the street. Just across from where the white hedgehog was standing was Margaret going in her car and leaving for the day with her son, Jacob. The woman was talking to someone while her son was in the car waiting impatiently for his mother. Then, to cut the sight, came Shadow in his car as well. He came out with cloth in his hand. "Hello Silver." "Good evening, sir." he responded and pointed at the car on the other side, "Did you notice Margaret?"

The ebony one turned around, "Yes, I did. And I bring you here for that reason." He crossed his arms and asked the older one, "And what exactly am I to expect?" Shadow removed the cloth and under it was a 9mm automatic handgun fully loaded. "Watch this." he smirked and walked over to the enemy vehicle while the white one watched.

Margaret just did not seem to stop talking to whoever it was she was talking to. 'Why do women always have long conversations.' thought Jacob. He turned around and noticed someone approaching. The automatic weapon was hidden, but his conscience was yelling at the boy to get out the car and scram like a mad dog going after a stray cat. "Um.. Mom.." he tried to tell his mother what he was seeing, but she seemed to ignore him. So he did the next best thing, his last thought was, 'screw this bitch, I'm not dying!' and ran to the bushes.

Margaret turned to where her son had gone, "Jacob?" she then shrugged and before she could continue her conversation with her friend Sammy. The hedgehog passed the car as if nothing and walked anywhere as if completely unaware of anything. In his hand was the pistol and he looked at it one last time, "This ought to be easy.." he then turned around and pointed the gun. At the front lights of the car where there laid a twitch to a setting of explosions. A bullet flew steady at high speed and before anyone knew it...

The silence of the night broke as car parts came from the ground to the air and glass was thrown back with intense force that damaged other windows of cars and nearby buildings. There was a huge flammable explosion. The smoke came to the hidden boy's nose and did not blink at all. He was easily shocked by the wonder ness of the flame and the sudden event. Then he noticed a huge piece of glass flying at him. He ducked and the glass missed his face and hit the huge bushes behind him. Shadow stopped and turned to watch his 'creation' he then decided to walk back and noticed the bodies had now become nothing but ash. Shadow stuck his shoe in the black sand and muttered, " It's a pity you never saw it coming."

had the eyes of a surprised child who wondered how the magician made that trick. The dark one tossed the gun to his partner who caught it and stared at it for a while. He then turned to him. The white hedgehog still had the eyes of a surprised child who wondered how the magician made that trick. "H-How did you--" "Simple. It doesn't even include your hands, only your fingers." he smirked and looked around for any eye-witnesses. The street was clear as the night sky when the stars made constellations. Then, he noticed people coming out of their homes in wonder of just had occurred. He sighed in relief and looked back at Silver. "Want some coffee?" The hedgehog blinked how calm he was, but he seemed to like the way it helped him, "Sure." they both went in the building together. While they were in calm motion, a witness stood at place, as a tear ran down the young boy's face.

--At the prison--
Both hedgehogs were throwing rocks at the wall and kept a far distance from each other. They tried not to interact, but their minds just seemed to attach with thoughts. "How many shots did you get?" Rudy asked as he bounced the rock on the wall without looking at his crush. "Six, you?" "Only half as much as you." Sonic paused and looked at his friend, "I thought you said we weren't going to talk?" The brown one blushed and looked away in shame that Sonic still hadn't gotten the idea out of his mind, "You're right, my mistake." he continued to throw the small rock at the wall. The blue one nodded and went back to throwing the rocks as well. But purposely complained by stopping his slow throws, "This is getting boring."

Rudy looked at his friend, not noticing his rock just bounced back to a 'point'. He wanted to start another conversation with his cellmate, but it seemed like shame stopped him. Did shame stop the fellow from trying? NO WAY!!! "um... you know I'm having my trial tomorrow." to come to Rudy's surprise, he was astonished to see Sonic speak first and not himself. He then tried to make a 'flow' in the now developed talk, "You're lucky, I was just told my execution date was moved earlier." Sonic lowered his ears. "Oh... really? When then" Rudy didn't respond.

He tried not to care, but deep within himself, he was crying himself out. Without noticing a tear escape from his eyes that originated from deep in the heart. He felt a warm feeling around his arms and back added with a whisper behind his ear that calmed him down, "Ssh... Don't cry..." More tears began to poor as he hugged his friend behind him. He moved his arm over Sonic's in a comforting way, only to have the on going affection stopped by the receiver himself. Sonic pushed Rudolph away. Though he was very comfortable to be with him, there was a cold chill that hit him to the bone that stuck him like a warning to back off. Rudy questioned, "Why did you back away babe?" The blue one replied in a faint, assuming dead voice, "Don't call me that."
