Someone woke up on the wrong side of the dumpster today.

"Woah! I'm...!"

As his hands hit his ears, however, Sonic shut his mouth right up tight. His eyebrows pinched together as he tried to come up with a way to communicate without scaring him or, presumably, hurting him.

What can I do, what can I do...

Tough call. Sonic had to believe this was related to his and Shadow's case, so he had to do something about it. The good guy's work is never done!

He held a hand out to Phoenix, a test to see if that would be too much for this crazy hobo him to handle.
