I looked over and saw her a green and blue hedgehog with purple eyes. "Breezy...." I said. "You know breezy?" The waiter smiled and I nodded but didn't tell him how I knew her. Breezy was an inspired singer in our teens and like me and shadow was tricked by Eggman. She was promised her own album by the ex wannabe dictator if she could seduce sonic and lure him into a trap. But as always sonic opened her eyes and realized she was tricked so she help him to defeat him. Since then we haven't heard much of her. As she was singing she saw me and waved with a wink. "I can arrange for you to talk to her after" "yeah that be great" I said then order my food. "Ok sir" he said and walks away.
I will say the food was completely amazing. Yet I was nervous the whole time because why isn't she running off after trying to kill me? I sent shadow a text to come to the restaurant and he showed up as I got done eating. I told him the waiter was going to arrange for me to talk to breezy but I didn't want to be alone since she was the one who pushed me or....unless the imposter disguise itself as her. Goddamn it what the fuck is going on! "Knuckles! Shadow! It's great to see you guys!" She said walking up and hugged us both. Ok...definitely the imposter unless she's pretending. "Same here Breezy....say ummm you wouldn't have made a trip to angel island recently have you?" I asked. "Nope I was here for the grand opening of this place why?" She crossed her arms. "There's a imposter going around that might've taken Sonic and Amy and holding them hostage for over two years." Shadow said bluntly and her eyes widen. "What? Oh my god that's awful. Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked genuinely concerned. "Wait then why did knuckles asked if—" "The imposter disguised itself as you somehow had your singing voice that lured me to the lookout point then pushed me off. Shadow found me a few minutes after it escaped and saved my life." I explained and I saw her eyes widen. "Oh my" she said stunned. "Just keep an eye out for anything odd and call us ok?" Shadow said and handed her a card with our phone numbers. "Ok but wait if Amy is held hostage then I guess me seeing her last week at the Starry Apartments would be considered odd right?" She said and we looked at each other then nod. "Do you know her apartment number?" I asked. "No I tried talking to her but by the time I went in she was gone" she said. "Well thanks for the lead Breezy and congratulations on the gig." Shadow said. "Anytime guys" she said and walked back to her stage. We leave and head to the Starry apartments. Unfortunately for us it was a dead end and the desk employee didn't see nor heard of Amy's name on the tenant roster. "Welp where to—" I froze when I heard another song. "Knuckles?" "You hear it too?" I asked and he nods then we both follow it like idiots but we had to capture this imposter and find out what it did to sonic and Amy. It was already getting late so hardly anyone was out making it easier to follow the song. It started getting louder as we approached an old cemetery full of above ground crypts and tombs. We quickly sent shared our location with our friends before heading in. Soon we came up to a large mausoleum where the dark wooden door was cracked open. Shadow and I looked at each other before slowly walking in. The song was loud but beautiful like a siren in shadows of the unknown waters. I read too many pirate books as a child. Shadow and I turn on the flashlights on our phones to look around. The place looked old and damped with the smell of algae water on the old stone and a decay of the bodies in their crack stone coffins. The song soon stops and we stopped walking expecting this imposter to come out and attack. "It's been awhile boys" we turn and out flashlights hit a pair of glowing eyes. "Alright who are you?!" Shadow demanded. "You both know who I am but then again I didn't get these powers after that last Eggman attack." She said but we knew the voice.

"Amy....."
