I may occasionally do 1,000 and that is ok, hopefully. This sequel is going to tie up any loose ends, and any questions that lingers still today. The Darkened Hours return, only to have a much darker past than before, stay tuned…

-8:00 A.M.-

My back aches! Oh, we are alive!

Hello! My name is Chase Walter, and today I would like to announce a new system your local police are putting in. As of December 5, 2019, alot of adults and children have phones. We are excited as you are to announce that this program is called, Crime Stoppers. It is a 24/7 service, you can announce any crime you see to the number you see below!

"Cut!" said the Director.

"Hey Chase! You looked amazing up there!" said Rocky as he kissed him.

"Can you not do that when I am on duty!" barked Chase.

"You do it all the time, I can do it too!" said Rocky as he kissed him again.

"Whatever Rocky!" said Chase as he went to his brand new police desk.

Chase and Rocky had moved a town over. They were in Foggy Bottoms now, and the lookout property was sold. The lookout was taken down and turned into the S.S. Frank.

"Zuma would've had that boat if we only knew were he was!" said Chase as he mentioned the progress of the S.S. Frank.

"He disappeared when we were put into the old department, and so did Skye."

"I will do my best to find Skye! Right now, however, I need to get ready for a new case that may come in." said Chase getting right to work.

"It has been like a year since we solved the murder case of Ryder." said Rocky as he looked at Chase.

"I am just glad he is in prison for what he did!" said Chase.

"How many cases have we solved in our mean time?"

"Like 27 or so, but Ryder was my biggest and best case!" said Chase as he was startled when Agent Gibbson slammed a police file down.

"Jesus fucking Christ!"

"Walter! You have a new case to take on! Get to it, same with you Landgrab!" said Gibbson as he walked off.

"Speak of the devil!" said Rocky, chuckling.

"Oh. My. Fucking. God!" Chase said looking startled, even after Gibbson slammed the file.

"What is wrong Chase?" Rocky said worried.

"Have a look!" said Chase, jumping to his computer quickly.

Rocky looked inside the file, it had Zuma's police report inside. He also saw the news headline, PAW Patrol Leader Killer Released Early?

"Gibbson must have heard us talking, there is nothing here for a case!" whispered Rocky.

"It is even true, I looked it up!" said Chase as he showed him the special police newspaper.

"The recent Leader Killer for the PAW patrol has been released early for good behavior. As of right now, the officer that put him in arrest won't say anything about this event at this time. Chase Walter was the 2nd in command for a little team called Paw patrol before he moved on to investigations. His team members were, Marshall Gibson, Skye High, Chase Walter, Rocky Landgrab, Rubble, and Zuma Fredrick." Rocky read silently, but you could hear what he was saying.

"He has been released 13 years early!" said Chase.

"What did he do however?" asked Rocky as he was terrified.

"We will figure it out, I could ask the warden!" said Chase.

-2:00 P.M.-

The department closes at 2:00 every day, so Gibbson drove both Chase and Rocky to their new home. They lived in a mansion, but they needed to be outside, however, they were inside before. In the cold, snowy December, Gibbson always let Chase and Rocky inside for warmth. They only needed to follow one rule, don't destroy anything.

"I have a random question that has no correlation to anything." said Chase.

"Ask away!" said Gibbson, not amused.

"How old is your daughter?"

"She is 10 years old, she is also in 5th grade." answered Gibbson, politely.

"Not to be rude, but you aren't you as happy as you usually are, why is that?" asked Rocky.

"When you arrested Din Maverick, he managed to negotiate with the warden that if he did most of his work, he would be released in 1 year!" said Gibbson.

"That's not okay!" barked Chase.

"The warden was fired, and was put into questioning. However, since he was the warden, Din was pardoned." said Gibbson.

Chase created a mental note, but Rocky wouldn't stop looking at Chase. Ever since Rocky married Chase, they never had a day alone. In just a few days, their anniversary will show up. Rocky had a surprise, Chase didn't have anything, or did he? Rocky broke out, and kissed Chase quickly and suddenly. Gibbson just shook his head as he continued driving. Once Rocky moved away, Chase asked a question.

"Based on your look, do you hate gays?" asked Chase.

"Listen guys, I really don't care, I have to work with a lot of them. Like half of the whole department is gay, I am just able to only tolerate it. " said Gibbson as parked the car and got out.

Rocky and Chase went inside and put down their stuff. They did it calmly, and fashionably.

"Did Ryder ever give you guys treats?" asked Gibbson walking inside.

"When we always did a mission, or if we were good all day!" said Rocky.

"Well, since you didn't start running to your new rooms, I'll give you some treats!" said Gibbson as he walked into the kitchen.

"What time is it?" asked Chase, excited and sorta calm.

-3:45 P.M.-

Chase and Rocky were in there rooms chowing down on their dinner and treats given earlier. Rocky got a knock on his door, he opened it only to see Gibbson's daughter.

"Wow, a puppy! What's your name?" asked the girl.

"My name is Rocky, what is yours?" asked Rocky, confused.

"You can talk! Amazing! My name is Alissa." said the girl.

"So, what do you need?" asked Rocky, still confused.

"Can we play for a bit?"

"Sure!" said Rocky getting up.

It has almost been 2 years since Rocky played with someone. Chase was always busy, pawing off, so he just played games, or went to discord.

"What do you want to play?" asked Alissa.

"Well, I am only a pup, so tag?" mentioned Rocky.

"Wait, daddy said there was two puppies, where is the second one?" asked Alissa.

"He is in the room right across from mine, want to see him?" said Rocky, worried Chase could be doing something.

"Sure, I want to try and meet you both!" said Alissa.

"Alright!"

Rocky and Alissa went to Chase's door. He put his ear to it and heard munching sounds.

"Glad to know he isn't pawing off!" Rocky thought to himself.

He knocked on the door, Chase responded with Come in, like anyone else.

"Hey Chase! Gibbson's daughter is here, come meet her!" said Rocky as he opened the door.

"Hi, my name is Alissa, what is your name?" asked Alissa almost instantly.

"My name is Chase, you need somethin?" said Chase, a little confused.

"I just met Rocky, daddy said that there were two pups upstairs, so I wanted to meet you." answered Alissa.

"Well, glad to know Gibbson is treating us like family." said Chase as he finished his dinner.

"Hey Chase!" whispered Rocky.

"What, I am trying to finish eating!" Chase whispered back.

"She wants to play, come on and play tag!" said Rocky.

"Fine!"

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Alissa cheerfully.

"I just wanted to say, ready for a game of tag?" said Chase nervously excited.

"Sure!" said Alissa as she tapped on Chase's nose and began running outside.

"Well damn, I am it!" said Chase.

"Have fun!" said Rocky as he kissed him and ran downstairs.

"Bad choice!" Chase thought to himself.

Chase's POV:

It has been so long since I have had played tag. Ryder was always energetic and so was Marshall and Rubble. But suddenly I began seeing Ryder running away from me. He had a certain aura, a sad and happy one. I stopped to think for a minute, is this what Rocky saw?

"Chase, something wrong?" asked Alissa across the yard.

I went silent, I couldn't stop thinking about when Ryder and Rubble taunted me that I couldn't catch them. I became a police officer because I loved the feeling of justice! Random thoughts started coming by fast that I had fell to the ground moving violently.

Rocky's POV:

Chase was acting weird. He wouldn't ever stop randomly when playing tag. I watched as he looked around clueless, he looked shocked and happy. When he stopped Alissa spoke out to him, he said nothing.

"Huh, that is weird, he is never silent about answers!" mentioned Rocky.

"We probably should check on him." said Alissa.

I suddenly saw Chase just looked panicked and fall to the ground and shake violently. I couldn't have said that I ran faster than a lighting bolt. I was there immediately.

"Gibbson!"

"Daddy!"

We both yelled for Gibbson, he quickly ran out to look up on Chase. After a few minutes, Chase stopped moving and stayed still, and Gibbson put him in the warm, and calm room.

"He was freezing cold, looks like he might had a stressed seizure." said Gibbson.

"Oh darn!" said Rocky, trying to hold down on the language.

"Will he be ok daddy?" asked Alissa, worried for Chase.

"Maybe, if he is still cold in 2 hours, it is a hospital trip!" said Gibbson looking at Rocky.

"I guess we should leave him alone for now!" mentioned Rocky with a tear rolling down his eye.

"Are you ok Rocky?" asked Gibbson.

"Yeah I am good!" lied Rocky as he began to break down.

"Let's leave them alone Alissa." said Gibbson as they both left the room.

With a tear down his cheek, Rocky looked at Chase's passed out, hypothermia body. He got up next to him, hugged him, and kissed him.

"Never will I be alone without you!" said Rocky.

I left to go to my room and grab my old special recycling blanket. It always warmed me up during the winter months. I put it on me and Chase, I knew it wasn't a good idea to sleep next to him, but I would rather his dead body on me and not on the bed. I kissed him one last time and shut my teared up eyes.

Dream POV:

Dark spaces filled up around Chase. He saw a tetter totter being used by nothing. It creeked going up and down. He then saw Ryder in a black jacket with a random person. The random person looked like Alissa if she was years older.

"Come here Chase!" said Older Alissa.

"Alissa? Is that you?" asked Chase.

"No, just know me as, the Angel of love and life."

"I look like Ryder, but I am the Angel of hatred and Revenge. Also known as the Angel of death!" said the Angel of Death.

"Do you guys play at this park often?" asked Chase, very confused.

"We have to everyday, if we don't, you die!" said the Angel of life.

"You're here because you are closer to death than you realised!" said the Angel of Death.

"Make your choice, be with the people you love forever, and finally seal the murder case of Ryder!"

"Or be in your rectangle box forever known as the cop that couldn't even solve his own leaders death!"

Suddenly, Rocky showed up. He wasn't like himself, his eyes weren't really there. It was just some black like cloud blocking it.

"Here is an example of what might happen if you choose the Angel of Deaths choice!" said the Angel of life.

Rocky then began to cry, look at a picture of the team Ryder set up years ago. He managed to tie a noose and hang himself on it. Chase watched every minute of the painful suicide.

"Gasp! ACK! Cough!" Chase began coughing and breathing painfully. He saw that he was embraced in a hug by Rocky. He heard the door knock and he needed to respond.

"Hello?" asked Chase.

"Good evening, Walter!"
