SHadow walked in,"But you need rest so your staying here until your better"

Pearl smiled,"Bet'cha i'll get to sonic first!" she hollered to rookie

"Cut me some slack!" Rookie shouted back. "I'm not fast!"

Knuckles brought his gaze up to meet Shadow's, eyes shining with vigor. "And what if rest can't come to me?" He asked slowly.

Shadow smiled,"Oh it will,even
if we have to drug you again"

Pearl laughed

Knuckles scoffed at the suggestion. "Yeah right, like I'm ingesting anything that passes through one of your hands again. Thanks but no thanks,"

Sonic soon skidded to a halt in a feild outside the city. He pulled a map out of his backpack and examined it carefully. "If I were a super-charged jackal, where would I hide..." He thought aloud.

(Knox we have other ways to drug you)

Shadow shook his head,"It doesn't have to be my hands"

Pearl caught up panting.."Need-To-Make-Rojet-boots"

Knuckles furrowed his brow, looking rather aggravated. "By 'you' I meant 'you, Sonic, and Pearl'. And again; NO THANK YOU."

Rookie slowed to a halt beside them. "Hook me up..." he panted. Sonic just nodded slowly, not really paying attention.

PEarl nodded,"Ill go grab coffe and hot coca if we really need it too"

Shadow shook his head,"Your still- nevermind"

"I'm still what? Injured? Helpless? Unable to fend for myself? Spill it!" Knuckles demanded, bristling with rage.

"That'd be nice," Rookie said.

Shadow sighed,"Your still able to be drugged"

Pearl smiled,"Ee can stop next time we
see
one right sonic?"

"Yeah yeah, sure, now help me out," Sonic muttered, lost in thought. Rookie sighed.

Knuckles snapped to attention. "Don't get any ideas Shadow!" He snarled.
