I don't know... I think she's hoping that he's just busy. But... no one has heard from him in a long time. It's not like Shadow to leave Maria alone for any period of time.
Maria is the whole reason for Shadow's existence. He'd do anything for her.
I don't want to think it either, but... I dunno what else it could be. If he was gone away for work, Rouge would know about it. Anything else, Maria would know...
I think... he's gone. I just don't want to upset Maria.
Heh, I had no idea you were rich. You and Maria are good friends, I guess?
I like to believe the best in people... but I'm not sure I can overlook the Master Emerald theft that easily. It's a really important power source, the Island runs on it.
You've got a point there. No point in wastin' time worryin', right?

Hey, bein' a hero has it's bonuses! And it's not like I spend much of it, so... But yeah. Maria and I have gotten to be pretty good friends over the past month or so.
Now you sound like Knuckles! Which, I guess isn't too surprising since you guys go way back... I know, man. She shouldn't be tryin' to steal it, which is why I helped Knuckles get it back when she did. But she really is a good person... She's been housing people that have dropped in and have nowhere to go. She took Maria and Shadow in at first.
Me? A moonlighter? Not at all! Man, I don't have time to do anything aside from save the world!
Heh, that's true. You aren't angry or gullible enough to sound like Knuckles.
It's cool, Mighty. I don't expect ya to. You do haveta watch yourself around her. She's pretty sneaky. And convincing. She'll rob you blind if you don't pay attention!
I guess that'll make us roommates?

Yep! We'll be roomies. That'll be pretty cool!

Hmm... they're really close, I guess?
I don't really want to suggest it, but... Maybe something happened to him?

So, really close then. There'd be no other reason for his disappearance...
I guess all we can do is take care of her.
... Wait, did you say "Rouge"?

Yeah...
But hey! We'll just do whatever we can to take care of her! Don't worry about the finances, I got that covered!
... Yeah? Why?

Of course. And I wasn't worried, but... You've got it covered, you say?
Rouge. Isn't that the name of the person who stole the Master Emerald?

Yup! I'll take care of all the expenses! It's the least I can do for Maria, after all!
Yeeeeah... that was her. But she's not a bad person.

Are you sure you're not moonlighting? That's good to hear.
Nah, if I sounded like Knuckles I'd be angrier. But... well, I don't know. That does sound really nice of her, but...
I guess I'll have to wait and see what she does... but if she tries to steal it again, I won't just stand by.
