Robotnik hadn't said a single word all the way back to the truck.Sitting, arms folded, he had tried to sweep away everything he had experienced in the past two hours from his mind. But as soon as he got there, he thought about what he had seen in Y/N's room.He thought back to that moment of suspension when he found himself facing her.Impatient to return to his lab to drown it all in the work, he preferred to remain silent and, once there, asked not to be disturbed.By sending his drones into the forest to scan the prints, he had picked up with them an electromagnetic wave that had aroused his curiosity.Waves, there were everywhere and all the time, the current era required it.But he had never seen one like that.According to his first theory, the thing that had caused the failure had caused it because of this wave. It was the source and everything started from the baseball field.To understand the origin of this wave, it was therefore necessary to find the strange "thing" which was at the origin of it and that was far from being won. So if, of course, send your drones to scan the area to detect possible other similar electromagnetic markers.Someone knocked at the door. The Doctor glanced quickly at the time, twilight must have been long overdue and night had settled on Green Hills. The day had passed relatively quickly and he was glad he hadn't thought about what had happened that morning. There was a knock on the door again. He grumbled, who could bother him at this hour? If it was Stone, he would hear it! What did he not understand in the word "busy"? »... Unless, of course, he only came to bring him coffee."WHAT? I told you not to ... "His sentence did not go further, he had arrived opening the door like a tornado and while he was going to unleash his anger, it crashed like a wave on a rock.It wasn't Stone who was behind the door.He fell to the nose with the strange eyes of Commissioner Y/N. Hiding his surprise, he looked at her from head to toe." You again ?!...- Thank you. Why did you come to see me this morning? "Robotnik was surprised that she put it back again, he thought she would have forgotten his presence and that things would have happened as if nothing had happened." Forget. What are you coming to do here? You are alone ? "She nodded positively. The idea that she had come to see him alone intrigued and frightened him without him being able to explain it."Your assistant? She said, wanting to make sure the Doctor was alone too.- He is sleeping.- All right, let him continue, did you want a drive ? "Robotnik looked at her, surprised, why was she offering him a drive? A drive ... Both? Obviously, he had the strange impression that the Commissioner was reading in his mind."Don't you want to know what was hidden in this forest? Me yes, then I go back, and I think your little electronic toys could give themselves to heart."These are not toys ..." he hissed in a somber voice. Obviously, she couldn't understand how much more his machines were to him than vulgar toys. It was what he held dearest in the world, what he offered to the world, the only thing he was really proud of. Y/N raised her eyebrows, suddenly feeling like she had hit a sore spot."Either, are you coming or not?" She said to brush away the discomfort.He had a moment to think ... Something inside him seemed to push him to go. He felt terribly attracted to the idea of ​​going to the forest to see what she had found. But on the other side, accepting her offer meant that he accepted, for this time at least, to collaborate with her ... Whereas he had promised himself to find the source of the problem first and alone.But it was stronger than him, he could not let this opportunity pass ..."I'm taking my gloves," he called out.Something stronger made him get out of the truck and follow Y/N to the car." What is that ? He threw contemptuously, looking at the old car that was parked near the truck."Airport rental ... You don't like it?" "The doctor looked at the car, wondering if it had been picked up in a pound instead."Is Interpol saving money?"- Let's say they put the money in more important areas ... It rolls, it's the main one right? "It took the duo a short time to reach the part of the forest where Y/N had spotted the den. Finding the entrance now seemed like child's play. However, it was not easy to distinguish the opening in the dark and in the brush.Her flashlight lit the hole which seemed to allow the animal to enter inside. A cavity where she could easily sneak in, and so did he. Seeming to be composed of both earth and branch to avoid sagging, it should be flexible but effective."I'll sneak in there first and you will follow me, okay?" "Robotnik watched her from head to toe. Did she really imagine he was going to roll in the mud?"Doctor, do you want to see what's in there or not?"- You can do it alone! He hissed."Ah, now I am useful, delighted to learn it ..."Y/N had removed her jacket in order to be more leashed to slip into the den. Robotnik had taken a quick look at her at that time. It was the first time he had seen her without the amplitude of her jacket and he could observe a rather well proportioned silhouette."Doctor?" "His eyes rose to Y/N."If you could not leave me there as an idiot, I would be grateful. "He didn't answer and just crossed his arms. "Hurry up, I don't have to do that!" "Without a word, she started to slide into the cavity, it was narrow but you could easily cross it. She had easily managed to tow herself entirely inside, sliding gently, ignoring the mud and the moisture that stuck on the tissue of her clothes. But as she walked gently, she suddenly felt resistance in her hips."Ah, I hadn't thought of that ..."She tried again to tow herself to the other side of the den, to no avail. Rolling her eyes to her hips, she felt that a branch had caught on her waist and was holding her in place. Y/N swore, she should have thought about it and also removed her belt, thus avoiding this kind of ... Mishap. She tried to drop her hands down to her hips, but the position she was in did not allow her that sort of thing." Shit ! "... she breathed. "Doctor?" His voice was louder, hoping it hadn't failed him.* If he left me there, my ghost will haunt him all his life * Doctor!" What now ? She heard echoes ... She couldn't hold back a sigh of relief."I have ... shall we say ... a problem. "A beam of light was reflected at his feet, showing that Robotnik had listened to listen." What kind of problem ?- The kind of problem that I couldn't solve alone ... "On the other side, she could have heard Robotnik pester annoyance."I'm stuck, I think it's my belt that is stuck in something ...- What do you want me to do about it ?! He said."Well, you come to detach me otherwise I stay there and we will not move forward!- You maybe ...- Come on Doctor, if you leave me there I promise to curse you until the end of time! "No more words. Y/N thought for a moment that this asshole was gone."Okay, what should I do?"- Remove your coat, slip into the cavity and join me, stipling as you are, there is enough room for both of us.- stipling?- Finally, you are not big I mean! Come on! I take root! She hissed.As he took off his coat and dropped it on Y/N's jacket, (It shouldn't be too dirty either) Robotnik really wondered if he was doing what he was preparing to do ... For Y/N as well.He quickly put his gloves back in his tunic pocket before sliding into the muddy cavity, a grimace of disgust appeared on his face as he walked carefully to join the commissioner. He cursed her, never anyone, not even Stone had put him in such a situation.* When it's all over, she'll hear me * he thought as he saw Y/N's soles." I see you.- Sneak until your hands are at my waist. "The situation was delicate, advancing slowly, his clothes rubbing those of Y/N and he had to resolve to be in contact with her, the cavity was too narrow to allow a distance of more than 2 centimeters between them and his body regularly touched her . As his face came up to the young woman's, Robotnik felt like he had run a marathon. Their noses could almost touch and he felt her breath against his face.He was shivering.She looked at his face and his strange eyes, his perfume had reached her nostrils and she felt her body lean against hims. Not out of need, but out of necessity. The situation made her extremely uncomfortable, especially since they found it hard not to look straight in the eyes when their lips could almost touch."You ... my belt ..." she breathed softly, as if her jaw was paralyzed. If she had noticed that Robotnik had red cheeks, she had put that on the fact that he must have snuck up here."I ... I'm going to have to touch you ..." he breathed.She turned her face slightly." Yes of course. She whispered, then she felt Robotnik's hands slide down to her hips and her breath suddenly accelerated, the cavity seemed to have taken several degrees celsius as her blood soaked her cheeks. Robotnik, meanwhile, was shaking, the moment his hands had touched the young woman's hips, he did not know what to do. Completely helpless in the face of this improbable physical contact, he remained paralyzed for a moment before remembering why he was touching her.After several attempts, the doctor had to admit that the belt clip resisted him." Impossible ! He hissed! "I don't have enough space to detach it!" "She caught her breath, why had she taken this kind of belt, which even in normal situation she had trouble detaching?"In this case, we have no choice ..."Robotnik looked up at her."In my lower back, near the pants ... I ... kept my knife ..."Robotnik was dizzy, and if he weren't caulked in a tiny cavity, he probably would have passed out."Are you serious?- Damn it, do you have another idea? "The silence. No, apart from the unexpected idea of ​​having to hug her to grab the famous knife that was behind her, he saw no solution. His heart would explode as his arms slid down the hips to touch the lower back. Having no view at the back of the commissioner, he had to slide his hands to feel the case protrude from the belt.* If shame killed, I would be dead by now ... * she thought."I have it ..." he breathed."Do not let it fall, cut this belt, sneak out and pull me towards the den." "She felt then that he started to cut the leather of his belt, but this contact with him became much too pleasant and that had the gift of annoying her."Are you doing it on purpose to take your time?" She whispered angrily." Of course not ! Do you think it's easy to cut leather when you're cramped? Next time I leave you there!- There will be no next time she hissed. "She felt the last stab free her and the belt loosened from her hips. At that moment, the two of them breathed and Robotnik slipped in front of her to reach the den. Once feet on the ground, he grabbed Y/N's hand and pulled her towards him so that she too could escape. He received her so that she would not fall head first and this situation was even more uncomfortable than the previous one. Hand in hand, they were still far too close for his liking.Detaching from each other, they glanced quickly at what was in this strange shelter."This" thing "... seemed to live like us ..." Y/N whispered. But Robotnik didn't really listen to her. He had taken his gloves out of his tunic pocket and was already scanning the habitat."You see that you did well to come ..."She only had a sidelong glance and a grimace in response and that made her smile. While looking for traces of electromagnetic waves, y:n set out to search the cabin in a more traditional way."He won't come back here ..." she whispered. "He left not long ago, he fled ... Probably because of your drones."Probably because of nothing at all ..." muttered Robotnik. "He left because he exposed himself by causing the breakdown"Maybe the doctor was right, but one thing was certain, he would never come back here ... The only things they could find are clues to his next destination, nothing more.Y/N was obviously thinking, this track was not very useful. But by discovering the hideout of the animal, she would be able to establish a perimeter where it had been able to take refuge, and for that she had to take a map. After placing the refuge on it, she will think back to the footprints she had found at Karl's house. The animal was probably circulating throughout the city, but its favorite places should be near where it sleeps."I have the data I need. "Robotnik's voice was raised behind her and, turning to look at him she nodded."So we have nothing more to do here." "Robotnik carefully removed his gloves to put them in his pockets."After you, Commissioner ..." by pointing to the cavity from which they had come, a grin distorted his lips." Why ? Want to save me again if I'm stuck? "Robotnik did not expect this answer and the wink that followed plunged him into some uneasiness. What he had felt earlier came back to him like a wave in the face and he blew, annoyed."I'm kidding ..." she said, sneaking back into the cavity, Robotnik waited until she was out to follow."Could you drive?" "Y/N asked her that question as they headed for the car, Robotnik looking out of the corner of her eye?"I would like to see on the map where it could have hidden, for that I need my two hands. She handed him the keys and without even waiting for his to answer slipped into the passenger seat, retrieving a card from the glove box." We are here... "The car started, Robotnik didn't even want to hear her think. He was thinking about his clothes full of dirt, the fact that he had to drive an old pile of junk in the middle of the night to find the technology in his truck and all because of her."If we stick to a classic animal, it can never stray too far from its original home, do you follow me Doctor?"- No, I'm driving, keep talking on your own ... "She was silent, turning over on her map, marker in hand, she had positioned the marker on the map."He must be hiding in a house that runs along the forest, but not too far from here ..."She had toured Green Hills enough to note who lived and where, and as she established the perimeter, two houses appeared to be of potential interest."I have two possibilities, the animal is either at Karl the Dingo's house or at the sheriff's house ... But I don't think it is at ...- He's at Wachowski's house. "The doctor's voice had cut off her thinking."And why do you think this?"- Not because of one of your rough theories, but because I picked up an electromagnetic wave at the baseball field and drew it.- An electromagnetic wave? She repeated in shock. "And when were you planning to tell me about it?"- I have nothing to tell you.- Of course if we are there, both of us in this car, because I offered to come with me. This matter must be resolved and we must find out what caused it. "" WE ? "She jumped in surprise, did she really say "we"? She looked down at the map. Hiding his discomfort."This electromagnetic wave is all over Green Hills, it cleared exponentially the night of the outage and it is probably it which caused the destruction of your satellite."- But who can cause such a charge? She said, taking advantage of the fact that Robotnik was far too happy to share his discovery.Robotnik didn't answer right away, but he could feel Y/N's eyes staring at him and if he hadn't had to look at the road, he probably would have looked into her."Nothing that does not come from this planet ..."At this moment, Y/N rummaged in the pocket of his jacket, wedging the marker in his mouth and took out the drawing of Karl the Dingo."Damn ... This old fool might be right from the start. "But as she said this sentence in a low voice, a strange noise had just emanated from the car." What is that ?? Exclaimed Robotnik." What have you done ??- NOTHING ! I was just driving! "The dashboard had gone out and the engine had stopped, they only had time to park along the road that led to Green Hills.The two of them were now alone with a broken down car.
