Chapter 2: The Blaque Mist Gang

“Okay…” Rouge said as she clapped her hands and looked straight at her Pink Nissan 350Z sitting in the parking lot. She spent a minute debating whether or not using her car or flying to the job would be the quickest way to get to the G.U.N agency building in the heart of downtown Westopolis. She just knew that there would be traffic right now and if she comes but a minute late to her meeting, her boss would definitely blow a new a*****e on his fat a**. She stood there, looking then she took a look at her cell. “Ahhh! 7:57 He is gonna kill me! ******** it I’ll fly!” she said and shot out into the sky flying at High speed toward the building.

It was the tallest building in all of Westopolis; it was also the most beautiful. The blue glass reflected a greenish blue hue that shone brightly in the early morning sun. If the big Ugly Golden G symbol on the Front of the building didn’t stand out like an eyesore, the place would be equivalent to a 5 star luxury Hotel. Rouge looked down at all the cars lined up bumper-to-bumper in front of the building. “Wow, I’m glad I didn’t take the car wonder what’s going on this Saturday” As she lightly touched down she saw a sign advertising the newest festival for couples and families. “Sakura Tree Festival and fireworks show. Free Food games and live entertainment” she read as she dashed inside the golden trimmed revolving doors. “I wish Shadow would take me there. People say you fall in love with the person that takes you to the festival” She sighed heavily as she continue to run.

“ Hey Ed!” she shouted to the security guard. He was a 20-year-old light pink pig but he wasn’t fat. Although he was a donut eater and he almost dropped his jelly donut to call out to her. Rouge got to the elevator and started pressing the button for the 110th floor. Getting impatient while looking at her phone she heard Ed’s Voice. “Ms. Rouge you’ll have to climb the stairs! The elevator broke down today!” “s**t…” she muttered and looked down. The time was 8:00. “ I can still make it”, she thought as she ran to the stairs and crouched down. Then with a sudden burst of energy flew straight upward as fast as she could almost passing the door leading to the floor. “I’ll have to thank him later,” she thought.

She burst through and ran into her office to change slamming the door. Her secretary, a busty blonde Meerkat with dark brown outfit walked coolly near her bosses door and leaned on it still reading her book and popping some chewing gum. Her name was Linda and she is 19 years old. She looked up nonchalantly and yelled, “ Yo Ms. Rogue the boss is uber-pissed at cha’. Shadow and ‘im been waitin’ on ya bout an hour now…” “Yeah…well” Rouge started as she opened the door wearing a tight charcoal gray suit with black heels. “A lady never comes early she’s always fashionably late.” She then waved at her and rushed down the hall into the briefing room. When she entered she looked to see a seemingly calm hedgehog and a very annoyed brown Bulldog.

His name was William Knoxville, Commander of the G.U.N Operatives force. Although his name is prestigious his attitude wasn’t. “!” he yelled. “Man! Does his breath stink!” she thought.“Just because you are one of our top agents doesn’t mean you can come in whenever you like, especially on a weekend meeting I have things to take care as well!” he barked. “Yeah…like that enormous hemorrhoid on your butt…” she muttered. “What was that!” he turned to look at her. Rouge threw up her hands in innocence “Nothing, Sitting down now, Douche” “Now since Ms. Rouge has graced us with her presence I will now begin with your new assignment.” Knoxville stated dripping with sarcasm. He turned on a projector as Shadow shot a look at Rouge, his maroon eyes looked up at her as if to say “Where have you been?” He then leaned over a bit to Rouge’s ear and spoke. “Still on for tonight?” he asked. She nodded and Shadow smiled just a little. She noticed and smiled too.

“As you know, we have experience a great time of peace among this years since Dr. Eggman has retired. Unfortunately, that peace has been broken.” Knoxville then turned to the projector and began to show pictures of bank vaults. “Your probably wondering why the vaults even though broken into have no money stolen out of them. These three banks held the chaos emeralds in their chambers. That is what was stolen.” “All seven?” Shadow asked. “Yes. Let me explain. At the last computer check of the evening, we receive an email ransom letter from an unknown source. The group who referred to themselves as the Blaque Mist Gang or BMG state in the letter that they had the chaos emeralds were willing to make a deal with us. If we gave them 1.3 trillion dollars in 6 weeks they would return the emeralds. If we did not comply however, the BMG would use the emeralds to hack into the government systems activating several nuclear missiles and use the emeralds as power source detonating all the missiles at our major cites, including here in Westopolis.”

“WHAT!” Shadow and Rouge shouted simultaneously. Knoxville sighed, “I’m sure you can see the seriousness of this issue. The BMG must be stopped. We do have a visual of what the criminals might look like.” Knoxville moved to the next picture. The slide showed a stunning Black Panther in a tight dark green and black jumpsuit. Her hair was in braids long and black that reached to her waist. Behind her were several other cats in burglar gear and masks, but she stood out. The most noticeable thing about her was her piercing, almost sparkling green eyes, uncommon for panthers who usually had yellowish hazel eyes. Shadow’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the picture. His fur seemed to stand on end. “What is he thinking?” Rouge thought as she stared at him quizzically.

Knoxville shut off the projector and turned on the lights. “ We don’t have a name for anyone in the picture or whether or not that’s them or a fake but the evidence is enough to bring them in for questioning and possible arrested. Tracking them won’t be easy. Shadow, Rouge.” They both looked up to Knoxville as he opened the door. “ I have faith in you two, don’t let me down.” They both stood up and saluted “Yes sir.” Knoxville salutes and exits the room. They both picked up their folders with the case files inside.

Usually Rouge would be happy to work Shadow on this case on or any case for that matter because she knew she could count on him if something goes wrong. However, the way that Shadow looked when he saw the photo thoroughly disturbed her. “Just what was he thinking?” she thought to her self as she slowly walked back to the office.

Just as she stepped in the office she noticed a gargantuan mountain of paperwork sitting neatly on her desk. Linda walked in head still buried in her book. She blew a bubble and popped it in her mouth and started dryly, “Ya know Ole’ Knoxville dude left that pile fa ya…said it was present…” and then she straightened up to sound like him “For her impeccable timing to work today!” Linda sniggered and looked at Rouge who had veins popping out the side of her forehead. “Linda” she said ever so sweetly, “I need to be alone for a minute. Ok?” “Oh Fa sho’, fa sho’, I’ll close da door you go right ahead, girl.” Linda walks out and closes the door slowly as Rouge builds up steam. (Clink)

“WHYYOUNOGOOD ********!!” Rouge screeches so loud that you could feel the building shake just a little. “That’s right girl, let it all out.” Linda says as she promptly sits down at her desk

Meanwhile in Shadow’s office, he slams his fist on the desk all the while holding the picture of the BMG. He stared at the leader. “Jade…”he whispers with exasperation, “I thought I told you to stay out of trouble…”
