Shadow the Hedgehog

"I'll remember that. He's lucky you didn't inherit her crush," laughed Hope. --- "I see the wizard up ahead, about 100 yards away. Too obvious to really be him, but he should show himself if we spring the trap." The younger Crowley began to approach the decoy, quickly but quietly.

"Yeah. Poor guy."

"No, I haven't heard a thing. Oh well, he knows what he's doing."

"Yeah, I can imagine. Where is he anyway?" asked Hope.

"I'll give you that one," laughed Hope. "Because if I need to be covert a camera sticks out, sometimes I go to places where the signal would be lost, and mission reports areuseful aids for the future. They compliment visual and audio evidence. Doesn't mean I enjoy doing them," explained Shadow.

"Hehe yeah. Though I think he bought an apartment in the city." As the girls were talking Shadow finished his report. "Worst part of this job over with," he muttered.

"Yeah, just here, the canteen, and my room. I doubt Shadow will be up for you to look around his room."

Hope laughed. "Not particularly, no."

"That list starts going down when you don't have clearance," joked Hope.

"Heh, true. I'm sure we can find stuff to do to pass the time, it's not that late after all. And I can't ssy I'm surprised she's putting it on hold."

"I might be able to squeeze you into my room. Just don't go wandering about the halls unless you want someone much taller and well armed to yell at you."

"Relax, you're not in the way."

"Thanks. Do you want to look at anything else or drop you off back at Haven?"

"I'm sure I'll think of something."

"Still, it's a start at least."

"That's the difficult part. It's technically mobile, but mobile as in on the back of a truck."

"Well I have been working on an inter dimensional vortex that could trap him. A bomb would be simpler, but he'd defuse it."

"Yeah, and one big egg shaped one as well," said Hope.

"Agreed. We've got enough on this planet."

"Not all of them. I doubt it's that bad."

"True. Though then there are the aliens to deal with. But it solves the crowding problem," joked Hope.

"It's sad, but if we all lived forever the world would get overpopulated."

"Unfortunately I think making it might cause more problems than it solves."

"Perhaps when I'm old I might take up tutoring then."
