In the clutches

TW! Kidnapping, threats
Sonic's POV

I was dragged out of the van and I finally saw our destination.
It was a tall looming factory with smoke pouring out of the large chimneys, turning the sky a sad grey.

Damn, I hated smoke. I hated pollution. All the poor animals that were probably killed from the waste this factory was emitting...

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I was thrown over someone's shoulder like I weighed nothing.

I let out muffled angry screams and kicked, but my ankles were tied together so I couldn't get in a good kick.
I sure as hell wasn't going anywhere silent.
Apparently I was being carried by the driver of the vehicle, who was an extremely tall and muscular cockatoo.

"Shut it ya blue rat! Do I gotta hit you in the head to make you shut up?" Snarled the raccoon.

I let out more muffled noises of protest. They could hit me and hurt me all they wanted but I wasn't going to go quietly.

I was carried into the factory and I got a look at the area.
What I assumed to be bandits and all sorts of threatening Mobians were hanging all around the place as the factory worked, making things I couldn't quite get a good look at...

Some criminals looked at us we passed by others mumbled stuff.
I just hope none of these freaks touch me. I may be in pain from my recovering surgery but I will fight someone if necessary.

"Yo, R&T! We got somethin' for the head honcho!" Laughed the weasel.

I was gonna look at who they were talking to but then I was thrown to the floor.
I let out a muffled yelp as I skidded onto the hard, cold metal floor.

"Well, well, well, would ya look at that!"

Suddenly I was yanked up by the back of my shirt and faced two annoying skunks I knew a little too well.

Rough and Tumble, and currently it was Tumble that was holding me up by my collar.

Damn, he had gotten a lot taller than I am.

"Sonic the hedgehog! What a pleasure to see you again, I actually haven't seen your face since you did that interview over you being uhmmm...what's it called again....transginger?"

I grumbled.

"Yeah, heh, but anyways, yeah, boss'll see im'!" Said Tumble.

"And we'll get rewarded?" Asked the weasel.

"Of course! Come on you oaf, carry him this way."

I was glad no one has been misgendering me yet or calling me my deadname.
I was brought into an office and then sat down in a chair.

"Yo, boss! Look what ole' Crawley and his boys brought in!" Laughed Rough, talking to a tall velvet swivel chair that faced away from me.
So this was the head of the place? I couldn't see his face but I heard him when he spoke.

"I saw on the cameras. So it seems he's got his hands on Sonic?"

"Yup and he's sitting right here boss!" Chuckled Tumble.

I tried to say something about letting me go or some cocky line of protest, but all that came out were muffled words of annoyance.

Then the chair spun around and I saw him. I hadn't ever met him before but I had seen his face in the criminal files at GUN when I was bored and waiting for Shadow to finish with work. I also remember Cream mentioning him to me.

Clutch the opossum.

"Why is he gagged?" He asked.

"Well, I dunno, Crawley just had im' brought in like that and-"
