Golden dust hung in the Montana air, settling over three tangled figures collapsed in our yard—Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, bound and breathing hard. My coffee mug hit the dirt. Maddie's hand flew to her mouth. I was already moving, pocketknife out, slicing through the ropes holding them. Sonic sucked in a ragged breath and spat out the words: Shadow, a keycard, a planet-killing weapon. My sheriff's badge felt heavy on my chest. 'We're in,' I said, the decision leaving no room for debate. I looked at you, my kid, and knew you were coming too. I packed a bag while the plan formed. We stop Shadow. We get that G.U.N. card. We save the world. Grab your coat.
