~Chapter Fourteen: My First Jailbreak!~

Sonic sat quietly in the living room, staring longingly at the phone clasped in his hands.

Why isn't he answering? Sonic thought, sighing. He usually answers the first time.

"He's not answering, is he?"

Sonic looked up to see Silver leaning in the door frame, his golden irises filled with concern.

Sonic shook his head. "I tried five times already."

"Maybe he just needs some time alone," Silver replied, taking a seat next to Sonic. "I mean, after the kiss and all-" he stopped when he noticed Sonic glaring at him. "Sorry. There's nothing else we can really do but wait. We can't exactly force him to answer our calls."

Sonic was about to reply, but the ringing off the phone cut him off. He looked at Silver, a slow smile appearing on his muzzle.

"Well?" Silver said, frowning. "Are you going to answer it or not?"

Sonic eagerly hit the accept call button, and put the phone up to his ear. "Hello?"

"Hey," a voice mumbled in the receiver.

Sonic frowned. He couldn't make out the voice since there were loud bangs and yelling in the background.

"Who is this?" Sonic asked.

"It's Shadow."

"Shadow! Where the hell are you?"

"…In jail."

"Why are you… forget it. Silver and I will be there as soon as we can. Until then, just sit tight, okay?" Sonic waited for a reply. "Shadow?" Sonic slowly pulled the phone away from his ear after he heard a click.

"Where is he?" Silver asked.

Sonic looked at Silver. "Jail"

~Angel in The Night~

"Into the cell!" the police officer ordered, roughly pushing Shadow into one of the smaller cells, slamming the door behind him.

Shadow looked around, attempting to take in his surroundings. There was a steel bunk bed, dressed with only a blanket and one pillow each. Across from the bunk bed was a toilet stained black and green from years of use without being cleaned. A sink and broken mirror sat adjacent to the toilet. The only light came from the single barred window and the cell door.

Shadow shuddered. I haven't even been here an hour, and I already hate this place with a passion! Please hurry up, Sonic.

"Well, well! Hello, handsome!"

Shadow jumped slightly, and looked up at the top bunk bed, only to be greeted by greenish blue irises staring back at him through the darkness.

"What are you here for, hun?" she asked.

Shadow sighed. "A crime I didn't commit."

He stumbled backwards when someone landed in front of him. He looked to see a white and tan bat wearing a black jumpsuit with a pink, heart-shaped chest plate and pink and white high heel boots.

"They all say that," the bat said, smirking.

"But I didn't," Shadow replied. "My father committed the crime, and since I look almost exactly like him, I got arrested instead!"

"Wow. Tough break, kid." She stared at Shadow in what seemed to be deep thought.

Shadow frowned. "What?"

"Your father wouldn't happen to be Shade, would he?"

"How do you know my dad?"

"I have a cousin who is best friends with your dad. Shade was such a delinquent when he was younger! There were constant rumors that he was in a gang, that he worked for a drug lord..."

"Really?" Shadow said.

"Yeah, but those rumors quickly died down, so I don't think they were true." She looked at Shadow. "I'm Rouge by the way."

"Nice to meet you, Rouge. I'm Shadow," Shadow replied as the two shook hands. "So what are you in here for?"

Rouge chuckled. "Well," she said. "If you must know, I love jewels and gems, and I am a well-known jewel thief. I attempted to steal some of the famous jewelry from the local museum, and… I got caught." She held her head in her hands. "How can you call yourself a master jewel thief if you get caught!"

Shadow frowned. He wasn't one known for his comforting skills.

"Shadow," a voice whispered.

Shadow looked around.

"The window," the voice whispered.

Rouge's bat ears must've picked up on the voice because she ran the window. She pushed off the ground and floated up to the window, flapping her wings ever so gently.

"Hi," she said, waving to the person through the window.

"Who is it?" Shadow asked, attempting to climb up the wall the reach the window.

"Two hedgehogs. One's blue, and the other one is white."

"Silver!" Silver yelled from the outside.

"Oh, sorry," Rouge said, waving her hand in apology.

Shadow was finally able to grab one of the window bars to heave himself up. He stared at Sonic. He actually came, Shadow thought.

"Don't worry, Shadow," Sonic said, giving Shadow a thumbs-up. "We'll bust you out of this place quicker than you can say I'm a free hedgehog!"

"I'm a free hedgehog," Shadow said.

"I wasn't being serious," Sonic replied as Silver floated up to the window.

Silver held his hand out. Shadow jumped slightly as the bars started glowing. Rouge watched in awe as the bars slowly moved apart until there was enough space for Shadow to squeeze through.

"Come on, Shadow!" Sonic said. "We can't be seen."

Shadow was halfway through the window when Rouge cleared her throat loudly.

"You aren't just going to leave without me, are you?" Rouge asked, frowning.

"Umm..." Sonic mumbled, scratching the back of his head. "Well..."

"Sonic."

Sonic looked to see Silver standing beside him, eyeing Rouge.

"We have to break her out as well," Silver continued. "She'll rat us out if we don't."

Sonic nodded. He smiled at Rouge. "Come on!"

Rouge grinned as she squeezed through the opening. Silver quickly fixed the window with his powers.

The four raced down the street. Sonic skidded to a halt once they were a few blocks away from the police department.

"Woah!" Sonic exclaimed, throwing his arms out to stop Shadow and Silver from progressing any further.

"What?" Shadow asked.

"Cop," Sonic said, pointing ahead.

A officer wearing a navy blue uniform was walking towards them, casually sipping from his cup of coffee. He yelled when he noticed the four.

"Run!" Silver yelled. He turned and sprinted down the sidewalk, Sonic, Shadow, and Rouge right behind him.

They turned into a dark alleyway, and slid behind a dumpster.

"How did that cop know?" Sonic asked, panting slightly.

"He was the cop that arrested me," Shadow replied, leaning against the dumpster, trying to catch his breath.

Silver looked at Rouge, then back at Sonic and Shadow. "Um…" his voice trailed off as he thought about what to say that wouldn't offend the bat.

"What's wrong, hun?" Rouge said, staring seductively at Silver. "You afraid the mean cop's gonna get you?"

"No!" Silver exclaimed, his muzzle turning a dark shade of crimson. I really hate this bat…

Silver looked up when he heard a choking sound. Sonic and Shadow were staring at him with cheesy grins like they were about to burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Silver asked, glaring at the two.

"Oh, nothing," Shadow replied. His smile faded and he turned to Rouge. "Do you have anywhere to go? You can stay with us if you want."

"Thanks," Rouge said, standing up, "but I have jewels to steal." She flapped her wings, and rose into the air. "I'll consider your offer, though." She turned to fly off, but stopped. "And thanks for helping me escape," she said. "I owe you guys one." And with that, she took off.

"She seems like a nice girl," Sonic said. "I mean, she has Silver head over heels already!"

"Shut up!" Silver snapped. "I don't like her that way!"

"Alright, alright!" Sonic said, holding up his hands in apology. "Stop getting so defensive." He looked at Shadow, smiling. "Let's go home. I'm sure Amy will be elated when she sees you!"

Shadow laughed as the three walked out of the alleyway. I can't explain it, but I'm happier with Sonic and the others, Shadow thought, smiling. I feel more comfortable and welcome with them. I feel like… I have a real home…

Aw, the tear-jerker ending! Just kidding. So, like I said on Solanum, I'm going through a lot which is why I kinda just disappeared. Sorry ^_^' But I'm back, for the most part.
