Bullet slipped under the bed as soon as he heard the foreign step on the porch. He could tell they—whoever it was—was up to no good. Danny wasn't home, and they sounded furtive, a fact reinforced when he heard jiggling and scraping instead of knocking.

Bullet knew he should protect his territory, but he'd been hurt too many times. Hiding was safer.

Unfortunately, this was not the case. Footsteps stopped in front of the bed. "He's under here," a voice said.

"Well, pull him out," another voice said.

A hand reached under the bed, and Bullet moved farther back until his rear was resting against the wall. The hand followed, but couldn't quite reach the dog. Bullet snarled and snapped, but the hand didn't pull back. He sank his teeth into the hand, but it was covered by thick gloves, so the bite had no effect. Instead, another hand reached in and grabbed his collar. Bullet dug in, but the hand slowly but surely dragged him out.

Once out from under the bed, Bullet crouched, ready to spring, but the second man kicked him, throwing him off balance. Before the dog could regain his feet, he felt a sharp jab in his hip, and he went limp.

Ninja was napping on his perch when he heard the footsteps. His ears perked up. It wasn't Steve or Danny, and it didn't sound like a neighbor or salesman. The cat could tell whoever it was was trying to be quiet. The knob jiggled, and the cat hissed and arched his back.

After a moment, the door opened, and two figures slipped in. One of them pointed at Ninja. "There he is."

The figures moved quickly towards him, but the cat was faster. He slipped off his perch into the hidey-hole, scrunching as far back as possible. A hand reached in after him. Ninja clawed at it, but it was covered in thick gloves and paid no attention to the cat's sharp claws. It grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and dragged him out, hissing and snarling. The cat twisted and turned, trying to escape, but something jabbed him in his hip, and he went limp.
