I kept wondering if it was a vision or something -- that Del was gonna kill me if I ver saw her again. Maybe Sal was going to come back to life. Maybe Knux was just PO'd at me for no good reason. Or maybe my mind was just being screwy on me. Whatever it was, I was walking around thinking about it, when I noticed someone following me. I couldn't see them, but I could here them. Him. He wasn't being very quiet. Or careful. And he was breathing too hard. I wasn't too worried about someone attacking me. I can outrun everything I've come across. Even though I usually don't need to run -- except for in my dream. I thought about facing them, but I waited for the person to come out. I was still walking aound about half an hour later when someone finally did come out of the bushes. A human. He was holding a laser rifle, but it wasn't aimed at me. "You Sonic?" He asked. "Who wants to know?" "I do." Sharp kid. "What for?" "I wanna know who to thank for chasing that Kiminsu off." That struck an off note; someone WANTED Del to leave? And he ahdn't used her first name, either. What the hell was that about? "I ain't him," I lied. "Sorry." I turned away from him to walk off. Big mistake. Shoulda ran. Or kicked him in the head. 'Cause then something hit me in the head. Hard. And the next thing I knew, I was lying on a metal floor, handcuffed. And the only metal floors I know of are the ones in Pitopolis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back
