Cop and the Thief

Chapter 08

The next morning, Shadow woke up at 6am to get ready to head to the police station. He called Blaze to watch Silver and Nebula and she gladly accepts it. He heads outside and drives his motorcycle.

"Man, I hate to see his pissed off face. It's not gonna be pretty" Shadow said to himself while driving on the streets.

Eventually he arrives and parked his motorcycle near the police station. He walks in and goes to Scourge's office. He saw his green boss with an angry look on his face.

"There you are Shadow. Where is that wanted thief?! Should she be in jail?" Scourge asked angrily.

"She's at my home now and she's not a thief no more. She stole things only to survive!" Shadow said.

"I don't care! It cost the stores she stole from money!" Scourge glared.

"You see, I don't like your attitude sir" Shadow crossed his arms.

"Shadow. Here's two choices, either you get this girl to jail or you are fired" Scourge said, glaring.

"Go ahead, chief! Without your best top badass cop you're nothing. Is that what you want?" Shadow glared back.

Scourge gulped in fear that if he did fired Shadow, he'll be nothing without him.

"And I'm not gonna put that girl in jail!" Shadow growled.

"Oh great, not the first time someone is against me" Scourge facepalms.

"So what's it gonna be, chief?" Shadow crossed his arms again.

"Alright, keep an eye on her. But don't try to release her from the town!" Scourge said.

Shadow smirks at his defeat, "Alright sir, I will make sure of that" he said and goes out to have some coffee.

"Hmph! That hedgehog really is good. I don't even like him" Scourge scoffs.

As Shadow was heading his way to the coffee room, he saw Amy and Sonic having a talk about their boss. He decides to talk to them after having his decaf coffee.

"Hey guys, what's up" Shadow asked them. He then sat next to them.

"Scourge has acted very mad lately. Is it because that he needs you to arrest Nebula or what?" Amy asked Shadow.

"Well, maybe or that he is very demanding" Shadow shrugs.

"Probably too demanding as always. He doesn't even say thanks to anyone for catching criminals" Sonic said.

"Yup. Soon we three will be out and search for criminals in town. But as usual I don't need a partner so you Sonic will be with your girlfriend" Shadow said with a smirk.

"She's not my girlfriend Shadow" Sonic said, "And speaking of girlfriends. How is your thief girlfriend doing?" he smirked.

"She's fine but I haven't kissed her and no I'm not her boyfriend!" Shadow glared at him seriously.

"Guys stop arguing!" Amy got between them both.

"He started!" Shadow and Sonic both said at the same time, "No you didn't! SHUT UP!!!" they both said at the same time again at each other.

Then Amy had enough and slaps the two.

"OW! Did you just slap me?" Sonic asked her.

"I was calming you both down!" Amy said.

"How was that calming us down?" Shadow glared, rubbing the spot on his cheek from the slap.

"Nevermind" Amy looks away.
