Infamous
Chapter 23


"Okay," seeing that he had no other choice, Manic started to extend the tape back to Chief. "You win."

"I always win, boy." The dog said gruffly. "Go ahead and put the tape back in the camera first."

The hedgehog nodded and pulled the tape back to himself, only to fumbled with it and the video camera and drop them both to the ground behind the desk.

"Whoops."

"Pick it up. Now."

Manic nodded and got on his knees to retrieve the camera. A moment later he stood back up and handed the camera to Slime, whom assured Chief that the tape was secured inside.

"There's your evidence. Now let her go." Manic crossed his arms over his chest.

"Fine." Chief half flung the girl at him, and she stumbled before Manic steadied her. "But I don't see what good it will do you."

With the cue of a nod from his Boss, Slime pulled a gun out of the holster in his belt.

"Outside, both of you." The lizard gestured toward the door.

"But we gave you back the tape!" Clipsy protested.

"And you think that means you'll live? Not likely." Slime snorted.



Next thing they knew, Manic and Clipsy found themselves in the backseat of a long, black car. Slime drove and Chief sat up front with him. The teenagers had their hands tied back to back in the back seat, with armed goons on ether side.

"I'm sorry." Clipsy whimpered quietly.

"Hey, no talking." One of the tough guys snapped.

After they'd been riding for a while, the car came to a halt. Nothing could be seen through the dark tinted windows.

Slime swung the door open and the goons got out, then the lizard dragged Manic and Clipsy out.

As he sat on the grass, Manic observed the area. It was a cliff side, and the ground contained mostly dirt and rock, with very little, but dieing, grass. A river ran a few feet away, and the roar of water made it obvious it went off the side of the cliff into a rather vicious waterfall.

"What next, Chi- Er, Boss?"

"There are some chairs in the trunk. Tie 'um back to back again, then we'll send 'um down this here waterfall."

Nodding as the kids shivered, Slime obeyed orders.

Shortly after, the dog's wishes where fulfilled. The hedgehog and squirrel where still tied back to back, but now on two wooden chairs. They sat on the edge of the river bank with Slime ready to push them in.

"Good. Now go make some calls to get rid of that Locket girl."

Slime didn't say anything, but pulled out a cell phone and walked away.

"This plan..." Chief looked off onto the horizon. "Was so perfect. If you kids wouldn't have given so much trouble, I could be on my own private island right now."

"I hope you get eaten by a shark." Clipsy snarled.

"You, little girl, are not in a position to talk like that." Slime return and snapped.

"Why? You're like, going to drown us anyway!" Manic said.

"They have a point, worthless." Chief referred to Slime.

"Then let's get it over with!" Slime shouted.

"Fine. Any last words, criminals?"

"One thing."

"Yeah?"

"Turn around."

Chief did so, and found himself looking down the pistole barrel of an old "friend."

"You rotten rat." Locket snarled. "Don't think I don't know what you where going to do to me."

"SLIME!!! YOU BACKSTABBING FOOL!" Chief screamed, half in fright and half in anger.

"I-I didn't tell her boss! I swear!" Slime stood and stammered.

"Stay back, Slime. Or the dog is gone." Locket blew her hair out of her face. "I figured this out on my own. I'm not stupid, you where going to have me killed once you finished these brats off."

Chief then spied his other goons creeping up behind the kat. He knew he had to keep her talking.

"Really? I didn't think kats where that sma-."

"OF COURSE I AM!" She shouted.

As soon as those words left her mouth, one goon tackled her legs and brought her to the dirt. The gun went off, but the second guy had just pulled Chief out of the line of fire and hurried him into the car.

"LEAVE THE KIDS AND THE KAT! GET IN AND DRIVE, SLIME!" Chief shouted from the passenger seat.

Slime ducked and dodged two more bullets from Locket, before sliding into the driver's seat.

The black car pulled away at lightning speed as soon as the two helpers where inside as well. Ignoring the kids, Locket took off running after it. Strangely, she appeared to have a fair chance at catching them, even on foot.

"That's...It?" Clipsy asked.

"Not totally," Manic said. "We still gotta get out of these chairs."

"That should be easy eno-UGH!" The squirrel yelled as they tried to loosen their bonds and instead tripped into the river.

Heading straight for the waterfall.

"Hurry!" Clipsy shouted as her head emerged from the water and she spit out a mouthful of liquid "THINK OF SOMETHING!"

"I'm trying! Stop yelling at me!"

"I would say 'no pressure', but unfortunately, THERE IS PRESSURE!" She screamed as they neared the deadly drop.

"Then hang on and hold your breath!" Manic shouted back, and as they neared the edge.

Quickly, he swung himself back in order to put his feet into the air. This pushed Clipsy, opposite of himself, under the water, but her manged to grab a thin branch between his shoes, and as the current continued, swing them onto the dry land.

"We're alive!" He shouted. "YES!"

Nimbly, Manic managed to grab a small sharp rock and cut their ropes. Only to find Clipsy instantly wrap her arms around his neck.

"WE'RE ALIVE! ALIVE! WE MADE IT!" She screamed, jumping up and down with excitement. "Oh, look what I have! It's the real one! LOCKET'S!"

Clipsy remembered she had never told him that she had gotten the red Chaos Emerald into her possession. She was nearly shaking with delight as she pulled out the shining red jewel.

"That's seriously righteous, but this is better." Manic smiled and pulled a video tape out of his pocket.

"You mean?!?"

"Yup."

"When?"

"Switched the tapes when I dropped the camera. Childhood as a pickpocket, I can do that kinda stuff fast."

"This means...We did it. Manic, we MADE it! As soon as we get back to Station Square we're CLEAR!"

"You bet we are! Because we rock!"

"Because we rock hard."
