Cop and the Thief

Chapter 11

Shadow was riding his motorcycle on the road to head to the police station, "I never felt this for Nebula before. Am I in love?" he asked himself while driving. As he arrived, he parked it at the parking lot and yawns a bit.

"I really should take vacations" he said tiredly and goes in, he goes to his desk and saw some paper-work to do. He groans in annoyance and began signing them.

There were not many officers at night besides himself. But he was wondering about Nebula if she's safe with Silver.

--

At his home, Nebula was sleeping peacefully on her mattress. But at the window, Jet was holding onto with a grapple-claw on a rope.

He carefully opens the window and sneaks in to the living room, walking past Silver and he goes to Nebula. Jet takes out some chloroform on a tissue and holds it against Nebula's mouth and nose, slowly letting her inhale the fumes of the chloroform.

"Hehehe, now back to jail" he carries her out from the apartment through the window, but on the way he lost a feather from his tail. Silver was sleeping so deep he didn't notice.

Nebula's flower hair clip was on the mattress and her scent is still fresh on it.

Meanwhile, Shadow was finished with his paperwork and goes to have a talk with Sonic.

"Hi Sonic, what's up?" Shadow asked him. Sonic turned to show he got a kiss mark from Amy on his face.

"Oh um, Ames and I were catching criminals and ticketing those who drove too fast or parking at the handicap zone without permission" Sonic said.

"Okay, you ticket a few people and I see you got a kiss mark by a cherry lipstick" Shadow noted the kiss mark on Sonic's cheek.

"Yes I did" Sonic blushed.

"Is it from Amy or what?" Shadow asked him, Sonic nodded.

"Yup, Amy gave me that" Sonic said, rubbing it off his cheek, "She discovered that I really like her more than a friend so I confessed to her that I was too shy to admit it"

"Hehehe.... You shy little bastard" Shadow pats his shoulder.

Sonic grinned in embarrassment until they both heard a phone call from Shadow's desk.

Shadow goes up to it and answers, "Hello?"

"Shadow, Nebula is gone!" it was Silver on the phone.

"Silver, how do you know?" Shadow asked.

"I found her hair clip and a feather in your house!" Silver said.

"You're kidding, right? Tell me this a joke" Shadow asked, worried that Nebula might be in danger.

"No, it's not a joke, the feather I found was green and it is a sign of kidnapping" Silver said. This made Shadow snap of what this means, it could be no other than...

"Jet, I should have known. But how can he have escaped that easily?" Shadow said.

"Who's Jet?" Silver asked.

"Never mind that. I'm heading back to the apartment" Shadow said and hangs up.

Shadow runs outside to his motorcycle and drives back home to see if Silver is telling the truth of what happened.

As he arrived, he saw Silver sitting on the couch holding Nebula's hairclip and looked sad. Blaze was beside him when he borrowed her iPhone to call Shadow earlier.
