Rouge

Much as he didn’t like the idea, this is a treasure hunt for answers and the only other mobian on this planet that he knew would be even remotely competent in finding the answers is Rouge. He looked at the Master Emerald slot the Master Emerald once stood ages ago. Knuckles let out a sigh and brought his prized Emerald down, making sure it was sealed and safe. Walking up, Knuckles looked out from his island and glided to the closest city, Station Square.

As he landed he started to debate on where Rouge could be, she may be in a completely other city however there's supposed to be a vibrant night life in Station Square, maybe Rouge was in the area. He started to look around to see if maybe, just maybe, he could find her.

Thankfully, or unthankfully, a poster blew off from the wind and slapped Knuckles in the face. He yanked it off, ready to thrash it, when he saw "Grand Re-Opening, Club Rouge" with his only way to find answers giving a flirty wink. So, she's reopening that club of hers, huh?

Knuckles started to make his way towards there before giving it some more thought, aren't night clubs more open at...night? He needs to find answers though, so he had to make a choice. Rouge was his best chance at solving this mystery, but there isn't a guarantee that she'd be at her club now. However she could be there tonight if she's not on a mission. He looked down at the poster and decided on what he would do next.
