This Chapter takes place in Grace's memory and what others are doing after she passed out.

Three older wolves stared down at the puppy. One was a light cream color. Another one, that stood next to her, was a even gray color. And the third was a familiar dark brown.

"I promise, Jorinde." Hawk said to the cream wolf, "I will protect her."

Jorinde took a step forward. "Hawk, I know you can keep her safer than us. But please."

"Jorinde," The gray wolf looked away, "Let Kvela go. You know he will stop at nothing to kill her."

"Jorinde. I promise." Hawk repeated, pulling the puppy closer to him. "ACIS will be a good place for her."

The mother wolf nodded and watched as Hawk motioned for his team.

"I will never let anything happen to her. I promise." Hawk lifted Kvela up and trotted away.

1 year later

"What's wrong? Where's Grace?" Skipper said.

Hawk paused, he could tell Skipper the truth, but Skipper was a bad influence on Grace. It was his fault she got hurt, it was his fault she went along to Denmark. Come to think of it, everything was Skipper's fault.

"She's gone." Hawk wasn't sure why he lied to Skipper, but he was sure that it would benefit Grace in the long run.

"You- I- She- No." Skipper backed away, then turned and ran.

"That was a terrible thing to do." Johnson snapped.

"It's better for everyone." Hawk glared at the penguin as he walked past him.

Present Day

"Grace." Sarge looked across the screen. "We've pin pointed a tracking signal comming from Manhattan."

"Where at?" The brown wolf studied the map of New York with it's blinking red dot.

"Central Park."

"The zoo or the park park?"

"I wish I could tell you. But, the reason we are sending you instead of Agent Coal, is because you have a history with Skipper and his team. All you need to do is control them and not let them do anything that could compromise our mission."

Grace nodded. "I understand."

"Grace. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement." Sarge turned and left.

Now

Amber rolled over on the tree branch and sighed.

"I thought I might find you out here." a voice from below said.

Amber sighed deeper and sat up. "Hey," she shook the tired away.

"You alright?" Skipper asked. easily jumping from branch to branch until he was near her.

"Yeah." Amber yawned "It's been a long day."

"Sorry about Grace." Skipper half smiled.

"Huh? Oh. I started it. I really shouldn't have let her get me like that."

"She's not as soulless as you'd think."

"I'm sure she's actually a very good friend that would give her life for anyone of us."

"She is. You have to understand that Grace had a rough start, she never fit in with the other girls at ACIS." Skipper picked a peice of bark off the tree and trew it to the ground.

"What? Those girls weren't rude and errongant?"

"Just give her some time. She's hard to get to know."

Amber shrugged, not really wanting to trust Grace, but something told her to believe Skipper.

"There's just something that seems suspisious to me. I don't know why."

"It's just parnioa." Skipper stood up.

"Just between us." Amber followed, "I'm pretty sure that Grace has a crush on you."

"Me?" Skipper laughed, "Nah, she's into the 'sciency math type' Like Kowalski. They had a thing going."

"What?" Amber stopped in her tracks.

As if on cue, Flora and Kowalski popped over the fence.

"Alexander was looking for you." Flora giggled.

"What happened?" Skipper instantly sounded concerned.

"Grace collapsed." Kowalski filled his captain in.

"Is she ok?" Amber felt her own emotions change. She simply forced them aside.

"She's still out." Flora finished.

"Well, what caused it?" Skipper sounded annoyed.

"Infection, blood loss, exhaustion. It could be any number of things." Kowalski sighed.

"I'd better go." Skipper looked over at Amber, then took off quickly.

Alexander watched Grace move slightly in her sleep. Skipper suddenly appeared at the door.

"How is she?" he asked, concern masking his usual comando mojo.

"She slips in and out of consciousness. It bothers me that she was fine one minute, then moments later is just passed out on my floor." Alexander shook his head slowly,

"If only I could count the number of times that a female had done that."

"This is not a joke." Skipper growled. "She could be seriously hurt and you are making- I'm not even going to classify that as a joke. More like sick mannerism."

"Well, You'll find this interesting." Alexander held up a file. "I took the liberty of having an old friend hack into ACIS portfolios. And, get this, Grace's last mission began 4 days ago."

"That's not what she told us." Skipper glared at the monitor first, then looked at Grace.

"Yeah, I know. I was there." Alexander rolled his eyes. "And, I took another look at the wound on Grace's leg. It's about 72 hours old."

"So?"

"If we plug in this evidence to Grace's story. She was ambushed only minutes after leaving ACIS."

"Wait. Are you suggesting that someone set her up?" Skipper looked towards the sleeping form of his friend.

"It's way to perfect to be a coincidense."

Grace moved in her sleep again, unaware that her whole story was begining to unfold for the world to see.

O.O Tah-Dah! Isn't it great? So, who do you think set Grace up? I'll give you a hint. _ was mentioned in this chapter.
