Danny pulled his car into the allocated parking spot outside his apartment, stretching he flung the door open but luckily he didn't let go, as his neighbours dogs came tearing out of the bushes and starting snapping at the car, Danny usually loved dogs but these two were uncontrollable monsters, a sharp whistle pulled the beasts away.
Wiping his hand over his face he cautiously pushed the door open looking around he made quick time getting to his apartment everyday was a game of Russian roulette. But he couldn't do anything until the bloody dogs actually did something.
Changing into his joggers he slipped into the cool air he started his jog along the beach, it was to be a quick one as he had agreed to head out for a drink with the team that evening. Stopping to catch his breath he collapsed onto the sand he was really starting to love being near the beach, it was lovely to fall asleep with the sound of the crashing waves and when Grace visited it was a pleasure to have a picnic there or dig for weird things only last weekend they had found a rusty old brooch which cleaned up rather nicely allowing Grace to present it to Rachel for mothers day.
Pushing himself up he started a slow jog back to his apartment but before he even got there the dogs were back, barking, snapping and jumping up at him, reaching down Danny suddenly realised that he had left his weapon in the safe in his apartment after all said and done he wasn't expecting to use it on a jog up the beach. He felt the biggest sink its teeth into his arm piercing the skin and drawing blood, Danny had enough and kicked it hard causing it to yelp in pain retreating back to the apartment block it seemed to be the pack leader because the other one always seemed to follow.
Danny was now really cross, he had Grace staying that weekend, storming up the beach holding his arm tightly against his chest he banged heavy against his neighbours door.
"What do you want?"
"Your dogs are dangerous and need to be…"
Before Danny could finish what he was saying the door was slammed in his face, he was going to have the bloody things taken away before they caused anymore damage, but tonight he needed to calm down and take care of the bite, letting himself back into his apartment he pulled out the first aid kit and washed the wound luckily it wasn't too deep more of a scrap then anything else, but he was not having Grace there until the dogs were taken care off.
Walking into the bar he spotted his team mates ordering another round he headed across to the table, he felt uncomfortable in the long sleeved shirt but the last thing he needed was a lecture from Steve, flopping into the available chair he forced a smile and grabbed the bottle from the table and tipped half the liquid down his throat.
The rest of the night went a lot smoother after the fifth bottle of long board, "Steve I was wondering I have Grace this weekend and their fumigating the apartments so I was wondering if Grace and me could crash your spare room?"
"Danny you don't have to ask, your always welcome, maybe we could have a barbecue on Saturday and then go exploring on Sunday?"
Danny didn't care what they did as long as Grace was no where near the dogs; first thing in the morning he was going to report them to animal control, hailing a taxi he clumsily left the bar and made his way home, he had planned to stay long but his head was threatening to exploded and his arm was sore. Pulling into apartment complex he dropped the dollars into the taxi drivers hands scanning the area for immediate attack, the taxi pulled out leaving the area void of anything except Danny, satisfied that nothing was lurking he skulked to his apartment, slipping the keys in to the lock he kicked the door shut and collapsed onto the couch drifting into an uncomfortable sleep.
