Runners' Stories! (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Chapter 9: Team Chaotix

(Vector's POV)

                     You know who I am, right?! I am the Great Detective Vector! I run the Chaotix Detective Agency and help anyone who needs it! I also help out Sonic and Knuckles whenever they need it. After all, evil never rests in our world. So, what does my group do? We solve crimes and protect others who needs it!

"Vector! Do we have work?" Mighty asked loudly as he entered the house.

"Charmy hasn't come back with the mail yet" I answered as I took a sip from my coffee.

Epsio was sitting with his legs crossed and meditating, and Ray was sitting on the couch, kicking his feet back and forth. Man, we really need to do something. Maybe we should just go around town.

"I don't know about this" a young girl said nervously.

"They're the best! They can handle it!" another annoying brat said in full confidence.

Who's coming to the house? The door burst open to revel Charmy, Miku, Rin, and her annoying twin brother. Well, this outta be good.

"We have work!" Charmy exclaimed in delight.

"What kind of work?" I asked hesitantly.

Len cleared his throat as he dropped a bag of golden rings!

I quickly took the bag as I asked, "What do you need?!"

Len just put his hands on his hips as he nodded his head at the two girls. Rin just smiled while Miku sighed.

"We've had an issue with our stage. Can you please check it out?" she asked politely.

"Sure!" I said excitedly as I stood up from my desk.

Mighty just sighed as Espio face palmed. We went to the concert hall in Central City and looked around. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"Miku! Len! Rin! Are you back?!" Meiko shouted in a panic as she rushed out from behind the curtains of the stage.

She looked very panicked.

"Oh, you brought help! Thanks! Come with me! He's turning red!" she shouted in a panic as she rushed backstage.

Who was turning red? Shadow? We walked backstage to find a very unusual site. Kaito's leg was tied up by a rope and dangled him above us.

"So, how did this happen?" I asked as Charmy burst out laughing.

Espio and Mighty rushed to help him.

"We don't know. We were preparing for a concert in two days when we heard him scream. We didn't even have the rope there!" Meiko reported as Epsio threw a shuriken at the rope.

Kaito let out a scream as he landed in Mighty's arms safety. Mighty carefully placed Kaito on the ground while I looked at the rope. It doesn't look like the rope would normally be there.

"Hey, who usually performs from this side of the stage?" I asked as I looked at the area around us.

"Kaito and Miku" Meiko said as she helped Kaito up.

"Chaotix! Spread out!" I shouted as Ray and Charmy flew around, "Mighty watch over them"

I walked to the dressing room areas to see if I could gather any clues. I saw Luka and Teto working on some clothes while Gakupo was modeling the outfits. He actually looked pretty fancy in that tuxedo.

"Hello Vector!" Teto said as she waved her hand in delight.

"Hi. Is everything ok here? Nothing unusual?" I asked them concerned.
