Shadow the Hedgehog

"It'd be better than being cooped up in here where tensions are high."

"Thanks for coming. The tracking chips arrived and I've put them in everyone but the Melodies. Once I've given the younger one hers, I'm taking Miles somewhere close by until he goes to the program. It seems like the best option."

"Good to know."

"Thank you Ziona," said Zamy before taking her finger off the transmit button. "And of course you can Skye, so long as you don't bring the horde," she joked.

"I'm in the basement."

Zamy inserted Skye's chip. "Thanks again," she said before pulling out her radio. "Ziona? I know you must be really busy right now, but I need to talk to you." she said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Thank you. It won't take a second, and no he isn't. As part of his probation it'd help if he had at least some freedom, as he is reforming," said Zamy as she prepared Skye's chip.

"Yes. We can't keep track of you all with just Ziona and I here, especially as I'm taking Miles to another location nearby until he's called up for the rehabilitation program. I'm a probation officer, not a magician..And by twin sister you mean the younger one right?"

"Sorry to interrupt Skye. I need to implant a tracking trip in you. And you're sisters once they've got their new bodies. Man that sounded weird," said Zamy.

Zamy followed after Anna.

"Yes, that'd be helpful."

"Well then I guess we'll just have to see what happens. I suppose it'd be best to find Skye then, as he's the only one I can put a chip in right now."

"I see. I guess there's nothing I can do to stop her. It's not like she'd be able to use it as a disguise to escape."

"Exactly. It's still kinda creepy. I mean they have different colour fur, is that not enough?"

Zamy rolled her eyes when Anna mentioned the older Melody was being adopted. "I should've guessed. She wants to look like them... I think I'm gonna be sick."

"What!? You've got to be kidding me. What's wrong with her current one?"

Zamy did the same to Anna. "Thanks for making it easy. Trying to do it to a struggling person is an accident waiting to happen. That's you two done, now it's just Skye and Melody to go. Any guesses as to where they are?"

Zamy put a chip on the end of the device and then use it to insert the implant just under the skin on his right arm.

Zamy tore open the packaging, revealing a device and a bag full of chips, and started looking at the instructions. "Ok who's first?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so Miles. And not really Anna, just a sort of pinching feeling. It doesn't make your arm ache afterwards like an injection."

"Tracking implants. Given there's only 2 of us Zone Cops and a ever increasing number of you on probation here, we can't watch over everyone at once. So this makes our lives slightly easier. And yes, I intend to get somewhere nearby. I have to in fact."

"You're welcome," replied Zamy before hearing a beep. "Looks like I've got a message... ah excellent." Zamy responded to the email and soon a package was teleported next to her from No Zone. "These'll definitely come in handy."

"I did. The old, arrogant, borderline psychotic Miles is someone I'd beat senseless. But Miles now? He seems like a good person who needs a chance to go straight, so I should at least try and give him one. I'd rather see him grow up to enjoy life than get thrown back in Zone Jail."

Zamy grinned at Miles' joke then followed him up the stairs at a distance. As he was talking to Anna, she stayed back and focused on checking herself for any injuries, taking her hand back when her prodding caused pain.

"Ok. I have no idea where she is but I'll help you look."
