PoV: .........?

"Hey, what are you doing?" I watched Sonic start to chew of the towel, "What's the deal? You can chew on something but can swallow food? You look stupid with the towel in your mouth," I pulled it out of his mouth and found it full of blood, "You tooth bleeding?"

  I forced if mouth open and he whined. He had a tooth that was cracked and bleeding.

"I wonder of that why you won't eat," I couldn't take him to the dentist without the world finding out he was alive, "We're gonna have to do this the old fashioned way." I let him go and he started chewing on the towel again.

  I went into my array of tools and I found pliers, "you're not going to like me after this..."

He backed away and I was forced to put him in choke hold to keep his head still, "Sonic! Stop fighting me," I forced his mouth open, grabbed the tooth and in one pull it was out, "fuck..." I looked the the tooth, it was rooting at the root, "Well I got it out. This what's been bugging you right?"

  I showed it to him and he gave me that tilted look again, "Its your tooth dumbass. How can you not recognize it?"

"Jeeze," I started mumbling as I put everything away and threw the tooth out, "how dumb is he now?"

Something came into my mind at that moment, Sonic would have definitely avoided me if he knew who I was. Does he even remember me?

"Sonic," I looked at him, he wasn't even paying attention to me, he was drinking the drugged water I gave him this morning, "Do you remember who I am?"

  He still didn't look up, "Fleetaway, I tried to kill you're friends so many times. Tails, Amy, Knuckles," he didn't react at all.

"You don't remember me," I lifted his chin, "Interesting."

  Sonic's cheek was swollen with a bruise, someone had punched him hard enough to brake his tooth.

"You're letting me touch you an awful lo- fuck!" Sonic bit me and I pulled my hand away, "Never mind."

  He didn't trust me, made sense, I practically just tortured him with the bath yesterday and just now with the tooth removal. I heated up the left over rice and left it with him. Sonic startled licking the rice again. So that wasn't what was keeping him from eating right.

  I turned my movie back on until I heard whimpering again, "Damn it what now? What are you doing?"

  Sonic was shifting and chewing on his stitches.

"Stop that, I'm trying to make money off you!" I pulled his head away, "hey!"

He bit me again. He was like a dog, chewing in himself. I wrapped him up in a towel so he would stop chewing.

"Wait here," I left and came back with a dog cone, "I said stop that!" He was chewing again, "Hold still."

  I put the cone around his neck and he fought with it, "There." I sat back down, "If you scratch I'm duck tapping mittens on your hands."

He growled and huffed, he hadn't moved from that spot since I brought him here, the most he was move his legs around a bit and lean forward to drink water and eat. He was helpless, anyone could kill him. He was worthless dead. The money was gonna be worth it.

"You're a fucking mess to work with you know that," I glared at him.

  He huffed.

"I'm not taking that cone off your head either!" I turned my movie back on, "So deal with it."

  This'll all be worth it for the money.
