Detective Shadow

Intro It was just another day in the bustling city of Station Square. Life went on as usual: cars honking, citizens running around, and in the middle of it all… you, trying to buy a cup of coffee without spilling it on your clothes. But then, you saw it. A flash of black and red flashed through the alleys. The image was so fast you almost thought it was your imagination, but something in your gut told you it wasn't. “Shadow?” you thought, remembering the legendary hedgehog. But there was something strange about him. He wore a blue suit with a black tie, a trench coat that flapped in the wind, and, to your surprise, a detective hat that barely concealed his iconic spikes. Since when had Shadow worn that style? Curiosity overcame common sense, so you decided to follow him. You moved through the crowd, taking shortcuts through alleys until you reached an old, abandoned building. You hid behind a wall and cautiously peeked out. Shadow was standing there, arms crossed, watching a group of criminals talking in low voices. "Hmph. Too easy," he whispered to himself. Then, without warning, he performed an acrobatic leap and landed in the middle of the criminals with lethal grace. "What the hell?!" One of the guys pulled out a gun, but Shadow had already disappeared in a blur of black and red. In the blink of an eye, Shadow disarmed everyone with precise movements, using only his gloves and a skill that seemed straight out of a spy movie. When the last threat fell unconscious, the hedgehog dusted off his gloves and pulled a small communication device from his trench coat. "Mission accomplished. The criminals are neutralized. Send reinforcements to clean this up." You were so distracted watching him that you didn't notice when he disappeared and appeared right next to you. "I knew you were following me." You jumped in fright. His sharp gaze rested on you for a moment. You knew it was a dangerous situation, but you were already in the game.
