The game was almost half way over when there was a knock on the door. Adam opened the door and saw two very large men. "We are here to bring Morgana home." One said stepping into the room.
"Um who are you to Morgana? Never mind that why are you letting such a pretty dog run around New York alone at night?" Adam snapped at them and then thought differently when they both stared at them. They looked like sex gods that could kill in a second.
"I am Carmine and this is my brother Sasha. We are here to claim her and bring her home. It's time for her bath." Carmine said looking around the room for her.
Don looked at the men and back at the dog. She looked like she was torn between going and staying with him. He smiled warmly at her and petted her on the head.
Mac got up and punched Sasha in the face. Everyone stood still and just stared at each other. The room grew very hot as if there was a furnace in the room. Sasha looked like he was going to kill Mac with his bare hands.
Morgana jumped off of Don and ran into Sasha. The force and the surprise of the attack made Sasha fall over onto the floor. She held him down and snarled at him. He looked shocked at this. He stared at her then at Don. It seemed that clarity came to him and he nodded to her. She stopped growling and walked over to Mac.
His hand was bleeding a little and she started to lick it clean. Mac smiled at the gesture and patted her.
"You ever let her loose again and I will beat you within an inch of your life." Mac growled and made sure that he was understood. Sasha just laughed at him and stood up.
"You don't get it do you? She isn't our dog. We watch over her. She leaves when she wants but we have to collar her when she steps out of line." Carmine said as he walked around the apartment and sniffed some things.
Sasha did the same until he stood in front of Stella. He stood still and took a deep breath. Carmine and Morgana just watched him until he took a step back and looked down at her.
"You smell good enough to eat my dear." Sasha said as he took her hand and kissed the back of it. She looked a little shocked at his behavior.
Morgana couldn't hold it in. She rolled over and over laughing at the sight. Well as much as any dog could laugh. Everybody looked at her and started to laugh. They calmed down and just smiled at each other.
"Sorry about how we acted. John is very protective of her and well we don't want to get on the bad side of Johnny boy." They said at the same time and shuddered.
"Well if it's not too much trouble can she come and see me more often? She seems to like me a lot." He asked as he kneeled down and rubbed the dog's body.
"If she wishes then yes, but now she has to go home. She needs a bath and she needs to go to bed." Carmine said and opened the door for them.
Morgana licked Don's face and nuzzled into his chest. He hugged her gently making sure that she knew that he wouldn't hurt her. She yipped happily at him then slowly walked out of the door.
Morgana looked back at Don while Carmine and Sasha waved goodbye to everybody. They were closing the door when Morgana saw that Don had shed a tear for her. She was sad and happy at the sight of the tear.
She had touched him deep down. That tear would be the gate way to getting him to be hers.
Don stood up feeling a tear slowly drip down his face. Sheldon walked over and put his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I know losing a dog is hard Don but you only had her for a few hours. Trust me crying over her won't make you feel better." Sheldon said and everyone tried to understand why don was crying.
"I don't know what this feeling is but I just felt like half of who I am was taken from me just now. As if I can't live being parted from her." Don replied as he wiped the tear away and stared at the door.
