"Good idea....luckily they didn't take my wallet" he said pulling it out

"Well, they didn't take Amy's hammer, either," Knuckles pointed out as he slid into a booth. "I think we were more of an after-thought for them, so to speak,"

I zipped up to the counter and ordered our food, I then zipped back and into the booth, Amy sat down beside me, "Great." I muttered under my breath.

Knuckles huffed and folded his arms over the table, resting his muzzle on his wrist and closing his eyes as he waited. I shouldn't be here... He thought. If these guys don't figure out something soon... Well, I don't know what I'll do, but I gotta get back to Angel Island. If Eggman finds out the Emerald's unprotected.... He grimmaced at the thought.

"soooooo,big questiion was how did we not know they were on the islan" tails asked sitting down

Knuckles opened an eye to glance at Tails, but otherwise didn't move much. "Either a new stealth upgrade or they approached from the east." He closed his eye again. "You know, Sandopolis or Ice Cap area. Hard to detect anything out that way."

I sighed and stared out the window.

Knuckles twitched slightly. "What?" He asked.

I shrugged and continued staring, soon the food came, I smiled and tossed the server a few rings, "Eat up." I said as I began eating my chili dog.

Knuckles sat up and wordlessly began eating, lost in thought. He finished rather quickly, but caught one of the waiters giving him a confused glance before shrugging it off.
