TAILS' DEPRESSION
Chapter Three : Search for a murderer
Outdoor, the rain felt like never before. Water, water, just water and nothing other than that. Umbrella in one hand, chocolate box in the other, a small pink hegdehog, who seems to be a girl, climbed the stairs of his residence. Like everyday before, she rang and waited for his welcome. But, today, nothing. She rang again. Paniqued, she dropped her box and opened the door, unlocked. She was afraid. He never let the door unlocked. "What's going on here?" she said. She started to look in each rooms of the huge house, in a gloom atmosphere. The atmosphere of death. Her eyes opened great and she ran into the residence, and finally stood up in front of the last door of his house. The door of the bathroom. She saw blood on the ground, and fastly opened the door. And she saw. She saw him, unanimated below her. Here eyes became full of tears. She felt on the ground. And, with her little face on his chest, she started to cry. She cried loudly, like never before. She didn't stop her sorrow. And she whispered :
"How... how can it be?" And, with a deep pain, she screamed :
"SOOOOOOOOONIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!"
And she ran outdoor, crying. Without her umbrella. A huge chocolate box in front of the main door. She knew where to go. The Chaotix' headquarters!
****************************************
The atmosphere was full of joy and happiness at Chaotix' HQ. Charmy Bee, alone in the kitchen, was cooking the supper and singing a little song. Vector, him, slept on the couch, waiting for the lunch. And, in a dark corner of the loft, Espio was meditating, alone in silence. Like if no one murder never happened. They was happy.
"Wake up, big dreamer!" said Charmy. "Lunch coming!"
"Yeah yeah..." said sleepy Vector.
*BANG!!!!*
Everybody screamed. Vector woke up like never and Espio jumped up, ready to fight. But, there was only Amy.
"Hi Amy, do you wanna rest for supper?" proposed Vector, the eyes closed.
He didn't see. He didn't see the tears flowing of her eyes. He just heard it. And, then, he opened his eyes. She was crying on the ground, totally decimed.
"What's going on, Amy?" said Charmy.
"No... no... it can't be true... Sonic..." she tried to say, difficultly.
"What, "Sonic"?"
"SONIC IS DEAD!" yelled Amy aloud.
And then, everybody was petrified. And, they fasly saw the reality. They started to cry.
"Are you sure of that?" whispered Vector, crying discretly.
"Yes."
"Brang me to his house, Amy, please." he said.
The group walked across Station Square, without umbrella. Fastly. Loudly. The rain flows on them. The tears flows out of their eyes. The death in mind. And, at the street corner, they saw Cream and Cheese, happy under the rain with their raincoats. Cream had a pink umbrella over her and Cheese. So, seeing Amy and the Chaotix close to her, she talked.
"Hi there!" she said, happily.
And it's just near of them than she saw the tears on their cheeks.
"Sonic is dead." only said Vector.
Terrified, Cream started to cry loudly.
"Just go to your house, Cream, and call National Police. I think we'll need'em."
"But..."
"Just do what I said." yelled Vector.
And Cream and Cheese came back and start to go to Vanilla's house, with an unstoppable sorrow.
****************************************
When they arrived to Sonic's house, rain stopped to fall and a colourful rainbow appeared in the sky. With a deep melancoly, Amy, Vector, Charmy and Espio broke the door and entered in the residence. And then, they started to investigate the place. Several hours later, Charmy yelled to everybody :
"Come here, I found something! I'm in the bathroom where Sonic was murdered!"
When they were here, the six-years-old bee shaw to everybody what he found. That was a broken bottle of drugs.
"This is Tails' drugs bottle! And there's several others. All empty!" he explained.
"What with Sonic?" claimed Amy.
"You don't see how Tails was addicted to his medication the last weeks?" said Espio. "I really think than he became addicted and he killed Sonic for drug him!"
"Are you sure of what you advances, Espio? Tails is our friend, don't misunderstand it!" yelled Amy.
"Tails was very deconnected of the reality, these last days." he answers. "I think he needed some drugs to didn't burn out."
"Look at this!" claimed Vector. He showed several holes in the floor.
"They're only holes... maked by what killed Sonic..." whispered Amy before started to cry.
"These holes don't only are holes, they're also Ventorage gun's holes!" explained Vector.
"Ventorage gun?" said Amy, intrigued.
"A special gun invented few years ago by scientists. But they abandoned the project, and the gun be stolen and started to flow in Black Market. This gun is the most powerful exists; it can make a hole in everything of any velocity, any resistance and also any corpse... This is why tracing this gun is a priority for our national agency of security, the NaPo. And now, we know than Sonic was killed with it!" clearly said Espio.
"So, you think than Tails robbed a forbidden gun and killed Sonic for drugs!!??" yelled Amy with anger.
"I don't know, but I know somebody who can help us!" whispered Espio in Amy's hears.
*****************************************
When the NaPo arrived and knocked on the door, the whole group was there, behind the door. Then, Vector walked to the main door and opened it.
"We have to consult the Rapport on Gun Store's Robs, Sells and Homicides right now!" just said him.
The group was invited to follow an imposant guy to a truck's trailer.
Maiev Troyce was reading the last chapters of her book when somebody knocks at the door of her room.
"Who's there" she said.
"Babouine Eure, fourty-five, twenty-one, eighty-two, code FC4" somebody said.
"Open door!" she just said to her computer vocal device.
Just behind that door, Babouine Eure himself and four another animals waited.
"We have to consult the list 58B, Ms. Troyce." said the prenamed Babouine.
"Yes, my Major-General Eure!" she said before sitting on a bureau chair.
"We have to take a look on the events of the last weeks in the gun stores of Station Square" explained Charmy, near to the big screen.
"58B open!" said Maiev. And a huge map appeared on the screen.
" list of robs, homicides and sells of gun stores of the last week " said a robotic voice. " Sectors one, two, four, five and eight, clean. Sells in eight detaillants in sectors three and six. Nothing anormal repported. Rob in a detaillant in sector six. The guy is in jail since Monday. Homicide in sector seven yesterday, in afternoon. The murderer is still free."
"Take a look in sector seven" said Ms. Troyce to the vocal device.
" One homicide in sector 7, at Kill-or-Die gun store. It is the property of the Black Market of Station Square. Videotape available "
"Let us see it"
And the screen changed. Then, the video started. All seems to be well whena guy entered in the store. A shaking guy. A guy than everyone knew here. The second hero of Mobius. And they saw him killed. Killed without hesitation. He was a murderer. Tails was a killer. Everybody was petrified. They started to cry loudly. And they saw him take the Ventorage gun and exits the shop, without sadness.
"Repport activity of suspect Miles Prower since 24 hours"
" He came to the gun store at One Fifty. He took the X-Tornado at One Twenty. He went to Sonic's residence at One Twenty-five. He killed Sonic at One Thirty-one. He went to Rivercliff at One Forty. He tried to suicide himself at One Forty-Eight. He talked to a tree at One Fifty. He's still talking to it." said the computer.
"So, our murderer is still at Rivercliff?" diffiultly said Espio, crying deeply.
"I will kill him!" raged Amy with an unstoppable anger.
**************************************
Somewhere in Mobius mountains, our murderer opened big eyes.
"You... you are the seed of Cosmo... You are my plant!" he crazily said. "I should be crazy! I talk to something who don't talk!!!"
"I'm not just a plant, Tails. I am the spiritual remains of Cosmo.I am her, but she's still dead. I offer you the chance to be with me forever; you just have to make me free, and I'll tell you how!" said Vivanei
"No... I can't... I... I killed Sonic... I killed a gun vendore... I am a killer... I did drugs... I tried to suicide... I don't merit to be with you anymore, Cosmo!"
"But, you did all that for me... I am honored by your bravoure, Tails... Now, we'll be together forever, if you do what I'll say!" continue the tree.
"No..." Tails walked slowly to the cliff. "I must die... forever!"
"Do you really want to die... Don't you want to live forever with me?" Don't you love me" yelled Vivanei.
"Yes but..."
"Do you really love me!???"
"What have I to do, my dear?" asked Miles, hopeful.
"You have to bring me the three Artefacts of the Fallen Ones : Relic of Birth, who is still in the deepest jungles of this world; Hourglass of Times, somewhere in the depths of time; and finally the Calice of Death, for what you'll have to die with suffering, with a suicidal attempt. But, for be able to see them, you'll have to bring the Stone of the Fallen Ones, who's the stone on the ring of Vanilla, Cream's mother... You'll have to kill her!"
"Yes Cosmo, I'll bring you back!" yelled Tails.
And I took the X-Tornado to join Station Square.
