This is the fifth issue for Sonic: Max Justice.

Transcript
It begins during the night as a figure is seen at the top of a building, being revealed as Rouge. She snickers as she notices that some guards are waiting for a truck. She quickly takes a closer look as they're carrying a valuable gem. She flies by and sneaks around. She grabs a hook and pulls it, entering the building while chuckling. The next day, a report about the theft is shown on TV. Knuckles changes the channel and sighs. Sonic and Tails come and notice. They think about it and start laughing. Knuckles groans. He shows a headline saying "Giant ruby to be transferred to the Mobotropolis History Museum". He grabs his cell phone. He walks off as Amy and Sally come. She facepalms. Later that day, Knuckles is searching for clues. He looks back as he almost freaks out.
 * Rouge: Bingo.
 * Tyler: Good morning. Last evening, valuable jewels have been stolen from a jewelry store, being worth around five million dollars. The cops already found evidence that could lead into the author of it. Stay tuned for further updates.
 * Knuckles: Wow... Who did it must be very sly for sure. Wait a second... It reminds me of Rouge.
 * Sonic: Hi, Knux. Are you okay?
 * Knuckles: Yeah.
 * Tails: You seem worried.
 * Knuckles: I am. (sighs) Do you ever heard about Rouge the Bat?
 * Sonic: No.
 * Tails: Uhh... no.
 * Knuckles: Well... She is an old rival of mine who usually tries to flirt with me every time we met. That was annoying.
 * Sonic: Oh my... Oh my...
 * Tails: Any reason in special?
 * Knuckles: Either a taunt or she actually loves me.
 * Tails: Are you serious?
 * Knuckles: Yes. Do you think I'm kidding?
 * Sonic: I dunno, but it's pretty funny. Really is.
 * Knuckles: (sarcastically) Great friends you are...
 * Tails: Sorry.
 * Sonic: So, you think she could be part of a mysterious gang or something?
 * Knuckles: Yeah. And I know where she could attack next.
 * Sonic: Wow...
 * Tails: Hold on, it might be a bait.
 * Sonic: Bait?
 * Tails: You know, a trap to attract her. She loves gold and jewels, doesn't she?
 * Knuckles: Yeah! She does! What are you trying to get into?
 * Tails: Well... I'm trying to explain that cops could be all around by that time. But that's not enough. We can join forces to stop her.
 * Sonic: But how?
 * Tails: Rouge might be amaster of disguise. So, we should disguise ourselves to find and stop her.
 * Knuckles: Hold on, this is personal. I don't think you should be involved on it. It's for your own good.
 * Sonic: What you expect us to do?
 * Knuckles: I'll warn you if I need help. It's just me.
 * Amy: What did I miss?
 * Sonic: Not that much. (mocking) Except that Knux has an admirer (chuckles).
 * Amy: Wow!
 * Knuckles: (VO, annoyed) I heard that!
 * Sally: He's just kidding, (turning to Sonic) right?
 * Sonic: No.
 * Rouge: (VO) Looking for someone?
 * Knuckles: You...
 * Rouge: (teasing) Missed me?
 * Knuckles: No. (sarcastically) Congratulations on your last theft.
 * Rouge: Thanks. Did you see the news?
 * Knuckles: Yes. And if you think you're gonna get away, I'd not be that sure.
 * Rouge: Fine then. But don't come to apologize if I end up successful.
