On the other side of the door leading down, he had met Gold. She was wearing a casual dress with something short covering her torso from neck to elbows. It was knitted and had a light brown color. He was sure that's one of the fashionable nonsense that kept popping out of nowhere. But he had never commented it. He knew how checking the stores and stuff like that helped his partner to relax.

He nodded at her, wishing her good morning in his own hardly friendly manner, and closed the door to the cellar.

"What did you find?" he asked once they stepped into the living room, taking their seats.

"It took longer than I expected, but with Blaze's help I was able to confirm that agent Blue had a child, a son," she informed him, gladly accepting the cookies the psychic put closer with his mind.

Silver took one too. Since he was born with a psychic ability, his brain required a larger amount of sugar to give its full potential in the battle. He was able to eat a whole cake if feeling too sluggish, making any woman to feel gaining weight just from watching him.

"Who was the mother? You make it sound like he had it in a complete secret." It wasn't like he cared about agent Blue. In fact, they had never met, whether it was because he was already dead or not, he didn't give a dang.

Gold nodded, and she slightly knitted her eyebrows, showing she is disagreeing with his inner thoughts. She knew him well, so she often guessed what he was thinking about someone.

"That's partly true. The mother was Maya Blue."

"Maya?" He thought for a bit, unsure if he had ever heard that code-name. Even if he had never met them, he still prided himself on the general knowledge of all prominent agents.

"It's no wonder you can't remember that code-name. Her rank was B, and agent Blue was her senior partner and a teacher." Gold put on the table a small paper showing her profile. Her fighting abilities seemed to be lacking, but there was a note stating her sealing ability was showing great potential.

The exorcist put the paper back on the table. "Well, The Order was never particularly against marriages among agents. But why did they were so secretive about this?"

"I have met Blue on a few occasions, he was always very protective," she started to explain. "I bet he wanted to spare his son of it. I looked into his mind when he was sleeping this morning. His memories were so clear, I could see all the details. It was him, who scribbled those words on the gun. He strongly believed his dad was fighting bad guys. He was practically his hero. The news of their death was a huge blow for him."

She could imagine how he felt, she on her own saw countless people losing their families and loved ones. Such pain was never easy to overcome.

Silver smirked. "Fate has a strange sense of a humor, doesn't it? The murder of his parents was by his side all the time."

Gold knitted her brows a bit. She knew he wasn't a bad person, but there were moments where he was very insensitive.

"The girl has a very strange gift as well," she quickly changed the topic.

"Hmm, that's right." Since he finally had time to think, he found this annoying girl to have an unusual power. "Who is she anyway?"

"Amy Rose, the only daughter of Rose family." She made sure to ask about the Rose Family while she was waiting for the results about the agent Blue.

"So some rich spoiled brat?" he mumbled, losing half of the interest. He hated rich people, getting everything so easily.

"No," the tenrec slightly rebuked him, "she is ladylike and unusually mature for her age. I'm sure you have noticed that already."

He sunk into the armchair, crossing legs and arms. The only thing he had noticed was her ringing yell and his aching jaw. But he hated not to give credit where credit was due.

"Yeah, she wasn't panicking that much. She even managed to calm that demon quickly, giving me an easier time to carry it," he pondered about it, hiding his muzzle behind a hand. Her personality might be terrible, but had he ever heard or read about someone capable of controlling demons? Maybe there was something in the archives of The Order.

"It's him."

"Come again?" He looked at her confused putting the hand down.

The tenrec woman calmly continued, "That demon isn't it, but he, and his name is Eclipse."

"What?" He was still feeling he was missing the main point. "Ah, right, she was shouting its name. That's how you know." He cleared his ear. "I must have missed it in the flood of yelling."

"No, she told me when we first met." She explained to him how they met.

Silver merely snorted at the end. "That's still no reason to regard it as a living being." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I won't argue, you have a point, but her own is valid as well."

The silver psychic frowned at her. Considering a demon a living being? "That girl is obviously naive." He waved his hand like he was shooing a mosquito. "That demon must have sweet-talked her once he was chained."

A loud bang echoed through the house. "Sonic! Mister Shadow!" Amy's voice was all over the place, making the exorcist to jump on his seat.

"Stop yelling!" Silver shouted, digging his fingers into the armrest.

The pink hedgehog rushed his way, stopping in the doorway. "Where is Mister Shadow? What have you done to him? Where are the others? Answer me!" Her clothes were dirty, crumpled, and she would use a shower. But her eyes burned with anger, she hardly noticed it.

Silver wanted to smack her, but he held back his anger and only smiled. He got up on his legs, and with two steps he easily stood in front of her, stroking her messy quills.

"There is no need to concern yourself with that fake priest." He made sure to add sugar to the voice. This tactic always helped him to calm too noise kids... the other was knocking them down, but Gold was watching him, so it was no go.

Amy clenched her fists, smacking the hand away. "He is much more honest and nicer person than you can ever be with your fake smile!" growled the girl at him, running to her temporal room, shutting the door behind her.

The hedgehog bristled, and his eyes turned red for a moment. How did that runt dare to call him fake? He even went the extra length to be as sweet as possible! Despite it made him sick from his stomach! His rage was slowly getting out of hand.

"Silver, calm down."

Gold gently touched his shoulder, but her companion shoved her away, pushing her on the floor. He stormed into the second floor, closing himself in his room as well. The tenrec sighed. After a little while, she silently knocked on Amy's door.

"Amy, can you please let me in?" She waited, expecting no reaction, but the door went ajar.

"I'm not apologizing to him! He is faker!" the pink hedgehog was peaking outside. The rage was still all over her face.

"I understand your anger, I just

wish to explain you something about him," she said gently, hoping to gain her trust a bit. She wasn't intending to tell her lies, just an old story about her partner. It might help her to understand him a bit.

The young girl knitted her brows in an upset manner, but then she made a small warm smile. "It's not like I'm angry at you." She let her in, closing the door afterward.

"Thank you." Gold sat down on the bed and Amy next to her.

"I'll listen," the girl said with a resolution in her tone.

The tenrec woman was still puzzled by this child. "You are really mature for your age."

"I was educated to be a proper lady." She put her chin upfront.

"You are as well headstrong like Silver." The tenrec made a light smile, remembering their first encounter. "You see, he has no memories of his parents. According to folks from his home village, he was found nearby during a storm. The village chief couldn't leave a lonely child, so he was accepted and raised by a local priest.

How old was he at that time? No one was sure, but he appeared to be at most four years old. He never played with other children, and he often tried to run away. His behavior was as well quite aggressive. Adults were at a loss what to do with him. When I had first met him, he was living in the village for six years. I was called there because of an unfortunate accident he had caused." The medium made a slight pause as the memories were reappearing in her mind.

"What happened?" Amy asked. From her narrating it seemed this person went through a lot.

Gold continued her story.
