      Our toys, consisting of BOOM Sonic and Tails, as well as plush Tails and Knuckles, Sans with Papyrus and Birch with a kite, finally left the forest along the opposite path of the river and reached the wooden bridge over the river. — Here you go! Do you see? I told you that we won’t get lost and will come back. — says normal Tails. — Oh, I'm so excited. I'd rather see my master! How he lived there without me and how he changed. — said the kite. — Don't worry, Gorynych. — Sonic reassured him. — We are sure that he himself was worried about you and was looking for you. Surely he hasn’t forgotten about you and will immediately know when he sees you. If it's really him, of course. But we ourselves want to believe in it. They all crossed the bridge to the other side and reached the camp. — Strange! Where did everyone go? — Knuckles didn’t understand. — Maybe they all went to lunch? — Birch suggested. — Ah! — Sans was scared. — What if they discovered that we were missing and went looking for us while we were away for a long time? — Calm down, Sans. Even if so, it means that they have not forgotten us. The main thing is that we are back and when they notice us here, they will no longer worry. Papyrus assured. BOOM Tails looked around and noticed a couple of children who stood behind one of the tents and took one step forward, and one of the boys with glasses ran out behind them, who was holding a green airplane with a red star in his hand and was playing World War II fighter with it, running around the camp. — They're all there! Seems. Out of curiosity, the toys approached that very tent, pressed themselves against the wall, hid and peeked their heads out of the shelter to see what was happening there and where were they all going one step at a time? And they all went to David and Stephanie, who made new toys out of trees and painted them. The counselors themselves even helped them and also painted them, as Drayton and Omarov prompted them. The rest of the children just stand in line, place an order, saying what new toy they want, and they make it. — Our owners make new toys, and the counselors help them. — Sonic immediately guessed. — Made of wood? — BOOM fox added questioningly for him. — Yes, Stephanie’s grandfather is a Soviet toy maker, who in his younger years, like his ancestors, made old toys from trees and sold them cheaper at that time. — explained ordinary Tails, and Knuckles finished for him: — Grandfather’s name is Andrew Omarov. He taught our host David to also make toys and other items from trees. He really liked it. Hmm, I wonder why they decided to start making new toys from trees right now and specifically for all the children in the camp? — Maybe the matter is connected with the person who told them about his petition to protect the camp and that the camp could be demolished and a new toy factory built in its place? — Birch suggested. — Where did you get this from? — Sans asked. — I saw and heard through the window yesterday. — Let's get closer and take a closer look! Just not noticeable. — Papyrus suggested. The toys didn’t even pay attention when a boy in glasses with an airplane accidentally noticed them and noticed that they were alive and talking to each other. The boy decided that he had probably started hallucinating again, took his bottle of anti-hallucination pills out of his backpack, took out two and swallowed them without swallowing or washing them down. The toys had left that place by that time. After taking the pills, the boy with glasses looked at the same place and noticing that there were no living toys here, he breathed a sigh of relief, deciding that the pills had an immediate effect. After that, he continued playing with his airplane. The toys themselves crept up to small stones and lay down next to them, peeking out from behind them, like soldiers from cover. By this time, the line of children became even smaller. Misha and Nadya were the next in line to approach David and Stephanie. Without hesitation, they decided to ask for unicorn and dragon toys. Birch, Papyrus and Sans, when they heard about these, were beyond skill, in the good sense of these words. Now they will have two more friends in their family. Of course Drayton and Omarova made them for them too. — Thank you, friends. — Misha thanked the young masters and counselors for Nadya. — Play for your health! — Drayton answers and takes out a pair of large sticks, thinking about what to make out of them. At that time, there were already eight children left in the queue. — You know, Misha, if only our toys were truly alive. They would probably be glad that they had two more friends. — Nadya said to her brother. — I know. Even if this is true, they will definitely be glad to meet them. — he answers her. — "That's for sure!" — Sans thought in his mind, hearing the conversations of their owners. About a few minutes passed and after making the last matching toy from the last branches, David and Stephanie lay down in relief on their chairs, as if on armchairs, and sighed with fatigue. They did a very good job today. — Oh, well, we’re tired! says Stephanie. — I know. We had a hard day today, although it hasn’t passed so quickly yet. — says Yuri. Kolya immediately came up with an idea. — Listen, David, Stephanie! Since you are such good and skilled craftsmen, maybe when you return home, you can trust us to give the camp a farewell gift to you two? — Us? — David was delighted, and after him Stephanie was not at all against it. They each took their counselors' hands and shook them in gratitude. — Thank you thank you thank you. We promise you that you will not regret it. On the last day of visiting the camp, we will give you such a farewell gift to the camp, which we have not given here in previous times. — Agreed! — Kolya answers. By this moment, the kite itself came out of cover, circled Kolya’s legs, and when he turned and was about to leave, he accidentally tripped and began to fall screaming. Fortunately, he managed to stick his hands down, rise with his feet to the top, do a somersault and stand on his feet, stretching out his arms, like a circus acrobat Drayton and the Omarovs clapped their hands, deciding that he had arranged such a surprise for them, but Yuria ran up to her brother with excitement. — Kolenka, are you hurt? — No, little sister, you know that I’ve been interested in acrobatics since childhood. I'm lucky that I know acrobatic techniques. So they came in handy so that I wouldn’t fall so hard. — Kolya explained and decided to examine his legs to understand what was so confusing that he almost fell. When he saw the kite, untangled it and examined it, memories from his childhood came flooding back to him. — This is my kite! — The same one? — the sister asked, and the brother nodded. — Is your kite? You didn't say you had a kite as a child. — Stephanie spoke up. — Yes, he just forgot about it by that time. As I. — Kirpichev explained. — As a child, I loved to play with him and brought him here every year. One day the wind was too strong and blew my kite far into the forest. I then called my counselor to help me find him. We looked and looked for him, but we never found him. I was already desperate and decided that I would never find him. I then decided that he was probably gone forever. — said her brother, and then thought out loud. — I wonder how he got here and ended up under my feet? — Maybe he just came to life before anyone looked at him and tried to find you for a long time? — suggested Drayton. — Our parents told Stephanie and me that sometimes toys can come to life when we are not looking at them. — True, we ourselves are not sure of this. These are just guesses, and unfortunately we haven’t seen this ourselves. — Stephanie lied. Of course those hiding toys heard it. And the same Tails and Knuckles were calm that she did not give them away in the literal sense. — Hm. It may very well be so. — Kolya thought out loud and decided to return to his childhood again. When a small breeze blew, he launched it into the sky again and ran with it. — Forward, my snake! Yehoo! His sister ran after him, also deciding to have fun and play with the kite. Drayton and Omarova stood on the sidelines, watched them play and thought that the adults really played even better than the children and had more fun. And it’s still good sometimes, even when you’re an adult, to return to your childhood and feel small again, when you played with your toys. Thinking about this and looking at how the counselors were playing with a kite, they hugged each other's shoulders and thought in common that perhaps someday in the future they would become the same as those counselors when they grew up. At this time, the toys themselves decided to return to their many-bedroom houses, so that the owners themselves would not worry about them if they suddenly returned to their houses. Of course, they did not forget about the apple itself, which they got from the forest. They decided to temporarily put the ripe apple itself in Stephanie's backpack. While these heroes are doing well at camp, shall we return to the other heroes and see how their adventures go?

      Dennis, in his police car, along with the toys of Silver, Amy, Cream, Rouge, Blaze, Bokkun, Mephiles, Metal, Omega and the Time Eater continued to drive along the road and then the car stopped at the behest of the driver. In front of them was a huge cloud of thick fog on the way, and next to it was a large sign that said “Welcome to the Land of Fogs! Beware of animals unknown to science! Silver looked out the window and noticed the same thick fog, standing still and not moving. Doesn't even dissolve. Memories came flooding back to Silver and he sighed with a little sadness. — The land of mists... I haven’t been here for a long time. Although at the same time I was forbidden inside the box and did not go out anywhere. — Has nostalgia washed over you? — Blaze asked. — Yes there is a bit. — Why did we stop? Running out of gas? — asked the Devourer. — No, I’m just a little scared to go there. It’s also interesting that I decided to inspect all this fog for now. — Dennis explained. — Calm down, Mr. Omarov! You and I will succeed. Trust me. — Cream calms him down. The officer rethinks the rabbit's words. — Yes you are right. Forward! — he says and gives full throttle. They had just driven into the fog itself when suddenly the car almost crashed into something huge and similar to a column. Dennis turned off the road just in time. Suddenly it became dark, as if they were passing under some kind of tunnel. — What was it? — It seems this is one of the six-legged ones... And he is still standing above us. — suggested Silver. They actually passed under a giant one hundred meters high, which was still standing in place and thinking about something, looking somewhere into the emptiness in this fog. On the way, the border line and a gate in the form of a stick with a sign “Stop!” immediately appeared. sank, blocking the passage further. There was apparently a border checkpoint nearby. One of the guards came out from there. The toys decided to hide under the front seats so that they could not be seen at all. Everyone climbed in there, except that the glow from Silver and Blaze gave them away a little, and the Devourer, due to its size, could not get through. — Guys, my torso is stuck! — he almost panicked. — Calmly! The main thing is don't move. Maybe they won't notice you. — Amy assured. The security guard himself approaches Dennis’ car and salutes: — Good evening, traffic police inspector Kozlov. — Inspector of whom? — the officer did not understand. — Doesn't matter! You're a policeman, I take it? — So what? — You know that you are from the other side and are crossing the border of a foreign country. We have our own police, and you have yours. Do you have permission for police to travel from one country to another? — the traffic police officer asked. — Why do I need permission? I work in the police and I can break some rules. — So, you admit that you do not have permission and crossed the border illegally without a necessary reason? — But it’s not my fault that I had to go from my country to yours. It’s all the fault of one of the residents of your country, who visited one of our cities and illegally stole one very rare and valuable thing from one family. That's why I came here to find the thief, arrest him and return the stolen goods to the owners. — Omarov explained. — All this is very interesting, but... Can you leave your official car and come with me for interrogation? — asked the guard. — Okay, I’ll just take my things with me. — Dennis answers and leans over to the next seat, taking a bag with police equipment, like a stun baton, a stun gun, sunglasses, a cap, a helmet, a bulletproof vest. pistol and documents. At the same time, taking out his bag, he whispered under the seat to the toys: — I’ll stay for now and try to negotiate or distract him. Next, I'm afraid you'll have to go on your own. — Nothing, Mr. Omarov! We can handle it, you go. — Cream assures in a whisper. Dennis took the bag with him and even showed it to the guard himself. — Here! You can even check and determine what you can take and what you can temporarily confiscate. — Hmm... Judging by the fact that you are a policeman, you still need these things more. I'll just take your word for it and let you keep it to yourself. Follow me, please! The border traffic police officer and Omarov walked through the door into the border house for interrogation. At this time, the toys got out from under the seat, climbed to the open window and jumped out of it. — Great! Let's stretch our legs a little. I’m already tired of sitting in one place. — Bokkun said jokingly, stretching his legs one at a time. — Everything is in place? — asked Silver and all the friends who had gathered together on the road counted each other, including Silver himself. — Okay, go ahead! And the toys continued walking along the road on their own. Fortunately, none of the other cars were driving on the road yet. While they were walking, Omarov distracted Inspector Kozlov for the time being and tried to answer the questions he asked him. — So. What city are you from? — Krasnogurbinsk. — So! Krasno-gur-binsk. — he wrote down in his rough notebook, repeating the name syllable by syllable. — So you are from the north? — Yes. — Fine! Further! Before serving in the police, did you work as someone else? — An accountant in one credit company. But I didn’t like this job and then I immediately quit. Then I repaired shoes in factories and stores. My father wanted me to become a toy maker, just like he once was, but unfortunately I never became one. I repaired cars in a car repair shop when I used to live in another city, until I divorced my wife and moved, and in Krasnogurbinsk I first wrote and printed various documents and sent them to the mayor of our city. I decided to get a job in the police after my neighbors opposite the house were almost robbed by two bandits, who were helped by a corrupt policeman. — Dennis told honestly and the inspector wrote down everything he said. — Have you had successes in your police service, heroic deeds, investigations of crimes? - Kozlov asked. — Not yet. At first I was an intern, and our family was also given a service dog named Sheriff, which I take care of, train every day and always take with me on missions or security. Today, Sheriff had to be left at home under the supervision of his father so that he could take care of him for the time being, and I went here alone. — All alone?... This is suspicious! Typically, police officers travel in cars from city to city in pairs with their partners. — Unfortunately, they haven’t given me a partner yet, but they promised to find me. They said that perhaps it would even be a partner. — Omarov explained and laughed, imagining that his partner would be a girl. — Why did you then leave your city and decide to come here to the land of fogs? — In your country, in one of the cities, a kidnapper is hiding. — Kidnapper? — The day before yesterday he was in Krasnogurbinsk at one of the sales and stole one very rare and priceless toy from my neighbors. I want to find the thief, punish him and return someone else's property to its rightful owner. — That is, you violated the border to catch a thief for some toy. — You did not understand me. This is not just a toy, but a family heirloom of my friends. They love and appreciate her very much. I will never forgive myself if I don't catch the thief and return what he stole from them. For you this may be a trifle, but for me it is a very serious matter. In addition, when I catch the thief and return the stolen toy, I will tell Krasnogurbinsk about my feat in solving the crime and perhaps I will even be given a promotion. Perhaps even the captain! — Yah? — The traffic policeman, smiling, didn’t believe it a little and finished writing down everything that Omarov explained in a notebook. — Well, the last question. How long will you stay in our country? — Well, if I manage to do everything quickly, despite the fact that you detained me, then only two days. And then I will immediately leave your country. And if you don’t believe me, you can at least test me with a lie detector! The words about the lie detector had already convinced us in advance that the policeman was clearly not lying to the inspector. That's for sure! Closing his notebook, he placed it back in one of the drawers of his desk. — Okay, well, the last question! What is the name of the thief you are looking for? — Mikhail Sinitsin. A collector who lives in your country based on our tips. — Interesting. Then I think you should head to the city of Tadesh. A certain person with that first and last name seems to live there, and there is also a store named after him, if I’m not mistaken. I myself haven’t been there for a long time and I may be confused. — the inspector explained and got up from his chair, taking out an electronic phone with buttons. — I will report to the Krasnogubinsk police about your appearance on our territory on a very serious mission in which you are trying to find a thief. You can move on yourself! — Thank you. I promise I won't stay long. - Omarov answers and leaves his semblance of an office inside the house. He gets into his car and starts it. Inspector Kozlov at that moment pressed the red button, temporarily opening the barrier so that Dennis could drive further along the road and thereby let him through. He moved on. Only here's the problem. The fog was so thick that even the light from the car headlights barely illuminated the road and it was almost invisible. Because of this, he did not even see the toys themselves, which he passed by. Also, they themselves did not notice him because of the fog. They mistakenly thought that it might have been another car and, without paying attention, they calmly walked on and hoped that Dennis Omarov would still be able to negotiate with that inspector at the barrier and, having driven across the border, give them a lift.
