==Synopsis==
Sonic and Tails walked into a building in the Frog Forest. It had the words 'Chaotix Detective Agency' on the door. Inside, they found Vector listening to music, Espio on the computer, and Charmy looking at the Missing and Wanted posters.
"We're here guys." Tails said.
"Sally was doing homework, and Cosmo went out to eat." Sonic explained the two's absences.
"Well, at least you came." Espio said.
"We've been going over new research in Rouge's...murder..." Charmy said. "Vector, WAKE UP!!!"
Vector fell out of his chair.
"Sorry guys. I guess I fell asleep listening to the tunes." he said.
"So, tell us what you found out." Sonic said.
"You sure you want to know?" Vector asked.
"Yes!" the two replied.
"Alright, Espio, tell them." Vector said.
"Rouge was investigating why someone was leaving flowers on Cream the Rabbit's grave. She was ambushed there by an unknown individual. Witnessess in the graveyard said they saw Rouge with a woman in a red coat. They drove away in a pink car." Espio said.
"We know that." Sonic said.
"And, from what you've said, Rouge managed to get out of the warehouse she was being held hostage by the woman. Then, she disappeared when under Perfect Chaos' water." Espio said.
"So...you guys didn't find anything out?" Tails asked.
"Wait. It looks as if Rouge was washed up on the Wave Ocean Beach." Vector said.
"We found her footprints in the sand there!" Charmy exclaimed.
"Then, she went into a beach house that was currently being rented by Silver the Hedgehog and Shade the Echidna, who died in Chaos' attack. There were also muddy footprints leading out of the Tropical Jungle in the Soleanna Forest which led to the beach house." Espio said.
"What?" they exclaimed.
"They were a woman's footprints. Looked like high heels." Vector said.
"Anyways, it looked like a fight between Rouge and the other woman happened. There was blood splattered in different areas of the room." Espio continued.
Sonic and Tails gasped in shock.
"There was also oil, the same type of oil in Eggman's car, found circled around the beach house." Espio said. "There was also a trail of oil leading from the beach
"So...you're saying Rouge didn't drown? Someone killed her?" Sonic asked.
"No...Rouge wasn't dead when she first entered the trunk. There were bounds found on her arms and legs." Espio said. "Someone pushed the car into a body of water. Rouge drowned from water rushing in to the trunk, and lack of oxygen."
"We'd better tell the girls." Tails said.
"Yeah." Sonic agreed.
They raced to Gaia House and told Cosmo and Sally the information. Sally started sobbing.
"What's wrong?" Sonic asked.
"N-nothing." Sally said. "I just can't believe someone would do that."
"Vanilla's back." Cosmo said.
"Let's go see her." Tails said.
The two went into her room, but no one was there. However, the two noticed something under the bed. It was a pair of muddy heels, along with a piece of a black glove like the ones Rouge wore.
"Oh my God..." Tails whispered.
Sonic brought up what the two were thinking.
"You don't think...Vanilla killed Rouge?"
