“But... but wait! I don’t have to take pictures! I can just see what’s going on!!” And maybe locate the break room and find the snack stash. Unlike the other two, Charmy was not assisting in picking up the certain items they would be needing, instead leaving it to them while he lingered near Vector, seeing as he was already leading the way in their exit from the boathouse, at long last. "Heyyy, let me do it!" he insisted, keeping largely to the area in front of both Vector's and Espio's faces in turn like the annoying insect he was, managing to obstruct their vision a good bit of the time. "What else would I do?! I'll show you guys, I'll find just what we need!" |

Vector was about to proclaim that what they needed was some duct tape and rope, but he thought better of it. Charmy was... just being Charmy after all. That, and after giving it some thought, he did have something for the little bugger to do. "Go flag us a taxi, Charmy," He said, smiling to himself. In the meantime... he could try and think about how they were going to get some snapshots and other information.... literally walking into the information desk actually didn't sound like to bad an idea... at least as a cover for Espio to dig a little deeper. |

For a moment, Charmy pouted. His assignment didn't sound like it would be any fun in the least, but more of a way for Vector to end his constant demands for a task. But after he had located a means of transportation for them, he would only begin anew. "Okay, I'll get a taxi," he grumbled, already leaving the two, flying off to find the closest street that would be heavy with traffic, and therefore likely to contain the taxi they required. Unfortunately for Charmy, he was fairly small, and therefore not quite so easy to notice as the others on the sidewalks edging the harbor. For that reason, flagging down a taxi proved to be a more difficult chore than he had anticipated, and the bee grew quickly frustrated in his attempts to find a place where he could be visible to the passing drivers. Waving his arms and balancing on a newspaper stand, he tried to catch a taxi driver's attention. "Right here, right here! ....Awww..." The effort fruitless, Charmy's antennae drooped, before he looked to the side for any more taxis that might be heading in his direction. Vector might have had more success, with his big green self. The thought occurred to Charmy, and he gave a small growl of annoyance, waving at the traffic with less enthusiasm. |

An armadillo pressed his nose up against the glass of the taxi, blue eyes flickering back and forth as he eagerly watched buildings pass by. His nose twitched as he picked up the heavy scent of fish and sea-salt. They were close. Mighty looked down at the sheet of paper clutched in his hand where he had managed to hastily scrawl the address of the Chaotix's newest establishment. Traveling had been fun, but he missed his friends. Unlucky for Mighty, they had gone ahead and moved on him, so it had taken a bit of tracking for him to follow them to this area. He sighed contently and hoped this address would pan out. Mighty figured it would as it was the most recent address he could get his hands on and it corresponded with the detective ad he had found in the local newspaper. Mighty kept his gaze lazily focus on the blurry shapes of people before something caught his eye. Something small, orange, and buzzing around in irate circles. Someone that tiny was trying unsuccessfully to hail a taxi. Strange, they looked familiar... Blue eyes widened in surprise and a smile broke out over his muzzle as Mighty recognized the shape of his friend. "Pull over here!" He looked at the surly driver, who grumpily obeyed. "Keep the meter running, I just want to see something really fast." He quickly grabbed his bag and and got out in front of the bee, hoping this really was his friend and not just some random stranger. If it was, at least the only thing Mighty had to worry about was looking silly. "Charmy?" He asked the distracted bee curiously. Edited by Mighty, May 12 2010, 05:06 PM.

Vector had his eyes closed as he was thinking. Around him, the muffled tones of a groovy base line thumped from his headphones. He rubbed his chin, getting in wouldn't be tough, but once they GOT there? How to find out what they needed to know. This wasn't as easy as taking some snapshots of some unfaithful husband (not exactly his favorite job but its what paid the bills 90% of the time). Or as straightforward as listening to some whackjob give step by step instructions on the radio. It was because of these things that he totally missed the appearance of a good friend and business partner for a little while. It wasn't until he was getting aggravated by Charmy's lack of success that he opened his eyes and muzzle to give the insect a piece of his mind. What came out however was not what he had first intended. "Mighty!!" He yelled, lowering the volume on his headphones slightly and bounding over. "What are you doing here? I thought you were traveling!" |

"Huh..?" Charmy hadn't noticed Mighty or his taxi, having assumed the vehicle was yet another that was passing without giving him any notice whatsoever. He at last looked to the armadillo at the sound of his name, nearly falling off the perch he had been using when he fully recognized the speaker. Wings just saving him from an undignified fall, and from the midst of the busy street just before him, Charmy raised himself to Mighty's eye level and gave an excited giggle. "Hey, what're you doing here?!" The question wouldn't have sounded very welcoming after the other's long travel away, if Charmy hadn't put it forth with his friendly grin behind it. While not phrased in a tactful manner, it mattered little as Vector was already joining them. Obviously the crocodile had already seen Mighty as well, but even so, Charmy felt compelled to somewhat loudly draw attention to his return, in case the pedestrians and strangers with whom they shared the street hadn't overheard. "Look!! It's Mighty! He's back again!! See? Oh wow, did you know he'd be coming back now, Vector? Didja?!" In the process of his noisy announcing, the bee flung his arms around Mighty's neck in a hug of greeting. |

Mighty looked up at the sound of Vector's loud greeting, flashing both of his friends an easy going grin, "Hey guys!" He gave the hyperactive bee a quick one armed hug, knowing full well that the others' attention span could only last so long before he buzzed off. He shrugged his shoulders to adjust the strap of his bag and eyed them casually, "I finished traveling once I saw all I needed to, so I decided to drop in on you guys and see how everything was doing." Blue eyes flickered from Charmy to Vector, "I didn't come at a bad time did I -- it looks like you two were going some place by the way Charmy was trying to become a smear on a windshield." He flashed a wink at the bee to show him he was only kidding. Mostly. |

Espio was contemplating similar thoughts to Vector. Their mission especially was certainly not going to be as trivial and mundane as their previous assignments. If stealth and precision were what was desired for this case, then the chameleon’s abilities were definitely going to be exhibited for the greater good. The magenta male stood promptly beside the aggravated crocodile, arms folded loosely across his chest as he too looked on upon Charmy’s failed attempts to catch a taxi. Such a simple task, and yet the kid couldn’t even accomplish that? Pitiful. Then again, he supposed that his short stature would diminish his efforts in being seen by potential rides. His seemingly abundant energy should have made up for his size. That’s what the reptile figured, anyway. His attention then shifted from the rambunctious bee to the abrupt yet pleasant arrival of Mighty. The stern expression on his features softened slightly at the sight of his old friend and former teammate. How long had he been traveling now? It had to been more than a few years. Heh. Times does fly by when one is having fun, he supposed. He winced slightly at Vector’s boisterous greeting, his loud, flamboyant voice ringing in his ears. Must he talk so loudly when he was right next to him? Honestly… “It’s good to see you,” Espio stated, casting the armadillo an amiable smile. He held his hand out as his gesture of welcome, since hugging wasn't really his ‘thing’. A little chuckle escaped his lips at his joke, but decided against adding to it. Last thing he wanted was Charmy whining in his ear about that. “Well, sort of. We’re on our way to initiate a new case we’ve been assigned to.” Surely, it was okay to let Mighty in on the details? Even if he wasn’t part of the Chaotix anymore, he could still be trusted. The ebony male had never proven to be the deceitful type. |

"Whaaat?!" Charmy did not take well to the analogy, hovering in place for the moment with an irked frown fixed on Mighty. "I'm bigger than that! I wouldn't just be a 'smear,' take that back!!" He snapped around to face Espio at the chuckle, though it had been muted, and folded his arms, the stern look he was attempting coming off more as a pout. He didn't see what was so funny; they wouldn't be laughing if he really did end up getting hit by one of said windshields! However, he didn't express this complaint, as whatever irritation he was feeling was gone when he noticed the taxi in which Mighty had arrived. He spun in place to point at it, looking back to the rest of the group, hardly able to stay where he was in the time it took to speak to them. "Look! There's one!" he called, and then promptly flew in through the door Mighty had recently exited. "Got it!" he added, taking it for granted that he would be followed. Giving the driver no explanation as to whether he had a destination in mind, much less why he had entered the vehicle, the excitable bee didn't stay in one place even then as he was far more interested in checking out the backseat interior. "Look what I found! A map!" He lifted up the folded paper he had discovered from underneath a front seat, waving it to show the others. Never mind it might belong to the taxi driver. "Espio? Vector? Do we need this?! ...Is Mighty coming, too?" Edited by Charmy, May 18 2010, 01:17 AM.

Mighty held up his hands peacefully in surrender at Charmy's outrage but was unable to wipe the smile off of his face completely. "Sorry Charmy, I take it back honest!" He grinned over at Espio and shook his hand, knowing full well that the serious chameleon did not take to open displays of affection very well. "It's great to see you guys again." He admitted before shrugging at Charmy's question. It honestly hadn't been his intention to come along on whatever case the Chaotix happened to be working at the time, but it seemed like it could be fun. At the very least it was an adventure and a chance to see how much his friends had changed. "I'll admit I'm a bit out of practice with the cases you guys work, but if you want me to come along I'm game." He grinned, "Otherwise I'll just hang around the city and see the sights." He looked over at the taxi and remembered the meter was still running, "But I'd like to know sometime before this guy bleeds my wallet dry." Mighty snorted slightly as he looked at the bee buzzing inside the cab. |

"Well! Since the ride is already on your tab, of course you can come along!" Vector said, slapping Mighty firmly on his back and slipping into the cab along with Charmy. For anyone else it would have been difficult to tell if he was joking or not... but for his partners and friends.. they knew of course he was dead serious. Vector ALWAYS took a shot at a deal.. perhaps it was his green scales. "Hop in boys, we have some serious sleuthing to do!" Edited by Metal Sonic, May 20 2010, 07:33 PM.

The chameleon had opened his mouth to say something, but was beat to it by Vector, resulting in a grunt of annoyance. Although, he supposed, he really shouldn't be so bothered at his behavior. Whenever a deal presented itself, Vector never hesitated in snatching it up. Even if that opportunity was at the mercy of his friend’s monetary expense. Jeez… Just to reiterate though, Espio nodded toward Mighty. “Yes, of course, you can come along.” He snorted, getting into the cab as well. This was going to be an awfully cramped ride… “You already know to watch out for.” “Hop in boys, we have some serious sleuthing to do!” Why did that sound like a corny catchphrase? |

Ah. That hadn't been what Mighty was expecting at all, or what he was offering. The armadillo knew there was absolutely no point in denying that now, as Vector had all but sunk his fangs into Mighty's wallet. Vector was always an opportunist at heart, that was for sure. Oh well, adventure and the high life with his friends was worth it he supposed. "Alright Esp, scoot over." He squeezed in after the chameleon and closed the door behind him. He grabbed the door and pulled it close, trying not to focus on how there were four people crammed in the back seat of a cab meant for three. The driver was shooting them all dirty looks, but so far hadn't complained. "So where are we going anyway?" Mighty's ear twitched, wondering just what type of case it was he had managed to step into. |

To GUN HQ. It looked like the Chaotix might have actually stumbled upon an important case in Mighty's absence. Whatever the case, they were going to have to be careful snooping around a government facility. The main tower was huge, and primarily composed of office space. There were a few areas, particularly underground, that proved difficult to break into, but that was clearly where the security breech would be most damaging. Taking that into account, it was likely the best place to look. When the Chaotix managed to infiltrate the lower sections of the towers, they would be in for the perfect treat. A rather short and frail human in GUN uniform was busying himself away in what sounded like a most unusual conversation, too caught up in the discussion to notice the nosy creatures observing him. Granted the flash was kept off, and everyone was quiet, the Chaotix would manage to sneak around and capture photographic and video footage of a conversation with none other than Dr. Eggman himself. If the Chaotix were thorough in their search, they may also find that hacking into the mainframe would be completely possible from within the building. Countless confidential files and research could be accessed and downloaded onto a portable drive, as well as records of many lackluster attempts to secure the firewalls or admirable attempts that had been crushed by.. well.. all of the arrows pointed to the systems primarily in use by one pointy-nosed employee: Colin Kintobor. It looked like they had enough information to send this guy off for life. Looks like their client was right... and they had been given their first lucky break since starting out as detectives. The only remaining question was whether the mysterious stranger would offer as much benefit as simply turning this guy in to GUN could pay. |

It was a miracle that their infiltration was as successful as it turned out to be, given Charmy's continual excitement, well fueled by the very risky nature of what they were doing. While he had been consistently sent as a lookout instead of taking part in any of the more exhaustive work in the investigating, he was able to, somehow, pay attention to his surroundings as long as it took for the other team members to gather what information they needed. He was even reasonably good at it as long as there was nothing too distracting nearby, being able to enter small spaces to evade notice as he played sentry. When they had finished their investigating, Charmy was still as full of energy as he had been when they started. Once outside GUN's headquarters, he had immediately attached himself to the back of Vector's head, one of the drives in hand that he had snatched before the others could stop him. All the way back to the boathouse he tugged on Vector's chain as though it was reins and nudged him with his heels, for the most part either marveling over seeing Dr. Eggman himself on screen, asking Mighty question after question about his trip, or frantically urging Espio to take pictures of storefronts and other scenes typical of a city, most of which were simple and mundane, and of course had nothing to do with their current case. |
