Kicking cans of soda and skateboarding on the side walk was something that was done usually by any child. It was being done near the apartments that ran through the 500's. Jacob, Margaret's son, had been living with a friend first named Robert. The boy had a loose shirt with red borders with a dark blue coloring. His hair was flipped away from his freckled face that held eye sockets with blue irises. Blue jeans and skating black shoes didn't seem at all to fit in well, but what did he care? Jacob had been borrowing clothes from his former ally even though he only had the color gray all over him. Robert was riding on a skateboard in the sidewalk, while Jacob followed so he could reveal the death place of his mother.

Heading over near the 520's they stopped in front a restaurant labeled for selling pizza of the highest quality and freshness. It was called, Pablo's Pizza in red letters. Next to it was a curb leading to a shopping mall the size of Wal-Mart. Between them was where blue eyes stared with shock. It was covered in yellow investigation tape. The Crime Scene Investigators had left within an hour ago; it was okay to take a peek at the fallen ashes. Robert's mouth dropped wide when his skateboard reached to a halt and Jacob's feet stopped tapping the floor. "This is your mom?!" he asked terrified. "Yes. It's what's left of her at least and her friend Sam. "Shit! They
disintegrate!" The boy crossed his arms, "You think I wasn't aware of that when it happened?" Robert raised his arms innocently, "I didn't mean it like that." He replied.

While blue eyes gazed upon the ashes, a hedgehog across the street labeled 519 had the door open to dispose of a body to the trash. Luckily, one of the boys noticed his work. "What is that guy carrying?" asked Robert. Jacob looked up. He quickly recognized the hedgehog's face. He stuttered to respond. His knees shook and his heart pounded fast. He had found the killer of his mother! "That's him!" he pointed, "he killed my mother!" Robert looked at Jacob for the moment. A huge pain was inflicted upon the back of Jacob's head. "Ow! What was that for?" he asked while rubbing his head. "You witnessed this murder and you didn't even know that the killer lived right across the street?!" Jacob remained silent and ashamed of the insult. His eyes dropped with his head. "Guess you could say that was my blond moment." "Exactly!" his companion pointed out. Shadow returned to his apartment and locked it shut. An idea reached the adolescent cerebrum of Robert. "Hey, let's go see what he threw away; a dead body or something!" The other gave a deep stare, "Are you fucking crazy? He blew up my mom and you want me to go through HIS shit?" Robert nodded happily with great expression of adventure. Jacob, on the other hand, had created disagreeing gestures but proceeded anyways.

They crossed the street and looked within the large 12 foot long trash collection of the waste management. The odor of decomposing items filtered their nostrils. "Oh my gosh, it smells!" commented Robert before noticing the wide black plastic bag. Disgusted faces were plastered onto their faces like masks. A finger pointed out the long bag. "That must be it!" he said and was ready to jump inside. A hand grasped the ankle of the boy. He turned around, "Aren't you coming Jacob?" "We're going to jump in a dumpster?" Robert saw no intentions of turning back now. He was on private grounds anyway. "Well, yeah? Let's go!" The two soon jumped in the horrifying mixture of trash. Sadly, Robert, the adventurous, landed directly on an open bag of scat. Jacob noticed and laughed out loud. Serious eyes looked into joyful ones. "That was so not funny Jacob." No matter, the teenager continued on with his childish laughter but soon reached understanding to shut the hell up before someone thinks of seeking them. They swam through loads of trash in which one boy would need a bath and the other, some Febreeze.

The bag was lying there with a tight knot on it. Both boys looked forward to opening the bag by unwrapping it. When they did, a smell that reached their noses smelled like raw cow meat but their eyes unwrapped to show a deceased being. Jacob backed away slowly, "Holy shit!" he blurted out at the sight of it. His body looked cold by the discoloration. The echidna's medium tone skin faded snow white and the blood had become somewhat dry. The dead body was of Knuckles the Echidna, but neither of them knew him. Tears feel from Jacob's eyelids and past his eyelashes. This was the second witnessing crime he had thought to have seen. Robert looked at his friend with concern. "Sorry man." He tied the body back up, until something came out of it. He had caught the indication of an item near his pocket. It was a disc in a blue CD holder that contained no name. He trotted through the rough terrain and showed Jacob, "This might have some value." Robert said and handed him the disc, which he accepted warmly. The two crawled out after an emotional moment and skated home smelling like walking trash cans.

Sorry, I kind of rushed that part. By the way, scat is animal poop.

"I am aware that you are very nervous Mr. Sonic. But, let me gather some information that may interest the jury." John Carder took out a few index cards and read the text on them aloud, "Why didn't you run away from your attacker?" Serious eyes darted at the man angrily, "I have the right to not answer that." "Were you tied up, did he hold anyone hostage?" "I'm not telling you anything!" Sonic yelled back with great emotion. "Was it that," he walked a few steps forward, "You may have stayed to enjoy another, shed of fresh blood?" There was deep silence in the room. "What?!" asked the blue hedgehog, "The one thing I would never do is the stupid idea of what you think is what happened!" John smirked, "Think I'm getting nasty at you, don't you?" Mary-Ellen spoke up, "Objection your honor, Carder here is harassing my client!" The judge slammed his gravel, "Sir! You are not allowed to say such statement that is not permitted to this case!" John apologized quickly and continued nicer, "What happened after he was killed?" Sonic pondered. Tears were still present, but he spoke up anyway, "He began beating me after I hit him for it." He sniffed on every so occasion, "After a while, he left me alone."

How long were you beaten by him?" "About ten minutes." "How did he beat you?" "Chains, knives, and... h-his body." "You said you knew this person who killed Scourge. Why did he kill him then?" More tears developed within the hedgehog. "He..." his eyes zoomed throughout the room in search of familiar faces. The only people he knew was Mary-Ellen, Dolores, John, and Helen. She was invited to come even though it was her fault for his imprisonment. "H-he didn't want anyone to know a-bout us." "Us?" he replied back with motive. Sonic tried correcting his answer, but was interrupted. "It's not lke that," Sonic tried saying. "So you made amends with your attacker. It can happen to be against torture and somewhat fond of it." The blue hedgehog slammed his hands on the platform in front him and growled at the microphone, "I NEVER LIKE ANYTHING HE DID! You don't know what it feels like!" Shivers went down his spine. What was he saying? Was he unveiling the 6 month long secret already when he is still too vulnerable? Memorable words whispered imaginably into his ears, "I will find you, and I will kill you if you dare speak about this from your lips."

For this moment, he felt as if the past became the present. The memories were coming back. The chilly rooms that held deceased people. The dirty ass bathrooms. The nails... The weapons with blood on them. He could see himself being molested and nearly raped by Shadow in the most malice moments of his life. He was too weak. "Too weak." He thought. "Weak..." Tears ran down his cheeks like rivers of blood when inserted to places for donations. "Pardon?" asked John. Green eyes were visible, but the markings of passed tears remained. "I can't say anymore. He will come for me. He will kill me." "Who? Your attacker? Because as far as you should know, you may not know where he is." "He lurks everywhere. He will find me! That's why I've been hiding all this time! No one can help me!" The judge looked rather soft of the heart for once, rather than a cold hearted stubborn old hag. He tapped his gravel softly and spoke aloud, "We are heading off subject. Remember we are not focusing on his case, but of Scourge's." John replied back, "Your honor, I find it appropriate to go over his case a bit just to have some things clarified as to there may be a connection between him and his attacker which could result in simple planning." The judge found it reasonable but made sure it would not get out of hand. Even though this was allowed, John had no other question or anything to say.

"Does the defense have anything to say?" spoke the judge. Mary Ellen looked up after finishing her notes. "No, your honor." He nodded back. "Very well." He looked at Sonic warmly, "Sonic, you may step down now." The hedgehog got off the stage and walked over to Mary-Ellen and proceeded into following her in his return to the prison. He just hoped that Rudy was still alive. Meanwhile, Dolores made no eye contact with Sonic, as if this trial brought her some good. Still, she looked creepy. The brown coat dude, followed right behind everyone else, but kept his yellow eyes on lock to the blue blur. Sonic returned to the car he came in and was driven to the prison once again. The sky was becoming a more Trix like color with brighter pink, orange, and yellow than before. Silver jumped into Shadow's car and called his boss through the Bluetooth system in the car.

Sonic touched Shadow passionately. His hand reached a delicate part of him. The black one moaned loudly, knowing what was to come. Two gloved hands caressed around his hips. The blue one had a large erection and was ready to proceed in his doings. Soon, Sonic began humping on his now loved one. Shadow moaned aloud, "Oh yes!" He pleaded more speed and pressure. "Harder!" he pleaded and did he go.

Suddenly, the dark hedgehog's phone vibrated with a loud ring. Shadow snapped out of his imaginings. He released the grip on his groin and wiped his hands with Clorox wipes. He read the name and growled, "Aw fuck, why the hell does he keep doing this to me?!" he grabbed the phone miserably and pushed it to his ear. "What?!" he hollered into the speaker. When it got to the receiver's ear, it hit him as a sharp pain. "Ow! Don't need to be mad! I bring you good news!" Shadow tapped his fingers on the wooden furniture in his office. "What could be better than my time ALONE?!" "Sorry sir. Were you masturbating again?" The black one blushed and bit his lip. 'Fuck! How did he know?' He nodded and replied back, "What did you call me for?" "Shadow..." he hesitated. "WHAT SILVER?! ANSWER ME!" The white one snickered, "Sonic spilled the beans, but they haven't reached hot water on you yet." "He, what?!" "Uh-hu that's right. He told about what you did to him and how he blames it all on you!" "Get back here as soon as possible. We have some work to do." clarified the hedgehog before hanging up. Something was hatching inside the psychopath's mind. He laughed evilly aloud.

Jacob's House

After doing tiresome errands for the day, the boys went over to their computer to install the software within the hidden disc. Jacob got the CD and placed it inside the computer's acceptable area for discs of this value. Robert came into the room where the computer was at. The room was sloppy. With a half tidy bed and the room smelling like dirty feet. Luckily, they both have gotten used to the awful odor without Febreeze. The display on the gray monitor turned from a snowboarding wallpaper to a blue background. On the side of the computer was a popcorn machine making the treat they would soon devour. The screen then showed the first letters. "The following is to be returned to its owner if found. Or he will hunt you down and kill you at night." Jacob blinked and tried not to show fear. Robert sensed this and laughed,

"Do you actually thin someone will kill you?" "Y-yes." His friend nodded in a cheerful mood. "You never change." he said and faced the screen. The words faded to show new white ones that said, "6 months ago." The popcorn machine beeped with the food ready. Robert removed the popcorn and placed it a bowl for them both to share and locked the door so that his mother would not enter. Both boys placed the food into their mouths and chewed it slowly as they watched the letters go by and the video begin to play.

Back at Shadow's Apartment
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Silver parked the glossy black Hummer back to the public driveway and walked over to Shadow's doorsteps. His shoes hit the hard cement and made a clicking noise as if he had heels. (but he didn't.) The door was blank. It had white paint over it and a now-bronze doorknob that the landlord will never replace. But the black hedgehog never really cared unless it was so messed up that anyone could enter with ease. The white hedgehog knocked on the door three times. Inside, Shadow was walking over to the door. Though he was miserable about the incompletion, he felt as if his desires would be coming true very...very... soon. Red eyes looked through a hole and saw a white figure. The hedgehog removed the chained lock and opened the door quickly. His ally quickly proceeded inward. The door was closed shut. "Lock the door." Spoke the owner of the home. Silver did what was told.

The hedgehog wasn't always this obedient though. But nor was he such a slave he can at times seem to be. Shadow went over to his rolling chair that was in his office. He looked at Silver, who was standing in front of him with all ears. "Did Sonic say anyone that was involved?" "He mentioned you. But the jury doesn't know who you are. Not your name or description." "Very well..." Shadow replied, looking down and putting a finger near his mouth that flicked back his lip. Silver gulped and continued. "But that old hag..."

The black one's eyes shot back up. "What old hag?" "The boy's mother. It seems that she recognized your eye color. But that's all she seems to know." "That's still too much for her to know." The white hedgehog felt an uncomfortable feeling within himself. "Are you going to kill her?" "Why do you ask with such concern?" Silver bit on his lower lip. Shadow sensed that there was a disturbance within his companion. He nodded and walked up to him. He placed a dark arm over a light shoulder. Silver faced him forwardly. Their eyes met; red and yellow. Their faces seem to have drawn nearer, nearer... "I know your secret." Shadow whispered softly and close to his lips. Silver shivered and his heart pounded loudly in his chest. His eyelids lowered as Shadow closed in on him. Soon, they were and inch away from a forbidden kiss. A lip had begun to twitch, while that of the dark hedgehog formed a smirk and he snickered. "But you know I only love Sonic." The dazed hedgehog couldn't reply. "I know it bothers you in seeing that I am trying to get someone that doesn't love me and you are just begging for me to love you." The white hedgehog backed away about half a ruler length. 'How does he know all this?' Pupils widened with the yellow irises.

Shadow laughed a bit and smiled in a sinister manner. "You really shouldn't ask how I know." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Oh, so you're resisting now?" He shook his head in shame for Silver. "I pity you. You've been so good at following orders. Yet, you resist the one thing you've held in so long?" "What are you saying? I don't have an interest in you!" "So, it wouldn't mean anything if we kissed?" "NO!" The dark one laughed at the white one's response. "You can't fool me. I know all too well." To protect his secret, he knew he had to provoke a situation fast! A thought quickly went to his mind. "I threw away the tape!" 'Shit! Not that!' he thought and quickly covered his mouth and fled to the kitchen. Shadow stood there dumbstruck. His eye twitched vigorously. A hollering voice reached the heavens. "SILVER THE HEDGEHOG! YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!" He charged to the kitchen in search of him using death defying eyes. The hidden hedgehog rocked back and forth nervously underneath the sink. Shadow slammed everything he opened. From cupboards, refrigerator doors, and bottom drawers.

The black one suddenly threw off the towel. He sighed and walked away. Silver came out from under the sink slowly and crept out of the kitchen. His eyes caught Shadow on the phone. "Tails, I need you to get me in there." Tails replied back from his workshop, "That would be hard Shadow. The whole prison is like a maze!" The dark one slammed his fist down on the wooden desk. "If your ass could get in there, get me in there somehow then!" "Okay! Okay! Don't rush me! Listen, I can pass you the phone to the jail keeper. Maybe you could persuade him." Shadow groaned but decided to take the chance. "Alright then." He confirmed. The fox nodded and connected the black hedgehog to the jail-keeper. "Yes, this is Bob." There was a long conversation that lasted almost half the time Silver was watching. He couldn't tell what Shadow was offering because frankly, he'll do anything to get what he wants. Except sex though, that's the only thing he is seriously strict about. Shadow might be an evil, cold hearted creature, but in reality, he's an honest, true-loving hedgehog that will stop at nothing to obtain his goals. Somehow, white ears were ale to pick up some words.

Prison Phone Call

"$500 right? Okay then. I'll be right over there. Just have the pest over in the room by the time I get there." Said Shadow. Bob nodded and agreed to do his assignment. The bold man hung up and walked towards Rudy's cell. His uniform covered in dust, sand, and some other powdery stuff. The footsteps created by the boots echoed through the halls and soon reached Rudolph's eardrums. "When it did, he was wake and his eyes turned the same left directional side. When Bob reached him, he was called forth with his full name, Rudolph Andrew Nelson. With the sound of his full name, the brown one rose up and held up his wrists saying, "I'm ready." Bob handcuffed the boy and replied back, "You're not dying... yet." Brown eyes faced up, "What?" "Just follow me." He indicated and was being followed by the prisoner who would soon be filled with emotional, physical, and spiritual torture. They reached the electric chair; a row behind where he was at. At the room, Bob opened the door and allowed the prisoner to enter. In the middle of the room was a desk. Two chairs on each side. On one chair, sat a luscious ebony dark hedgehog. In the darkness of the room, Shadow's smile laminated the room as his words were spoken out. "I've been waiting for you."
