Chapter 6: Finally!
I followed the tracks left by the truck in the field to the woods that stood like a wall in front of me. The woods were really thick. Basically, the only way I could see through it, was the narrow path that lead into it. Gathering up the courage to go forward, I hesitated, but I kept remembering what I was doing this for. Who I was doing this for. I straightened up and snuck into the woods, cautiously. That same thought was still trapped in my head as I made my way forward. I was trying to take the lightest of steps that I could, listening very closely. The path was longer than I thought. I noticed that it was still dark in there, but I kept walking. Only a few minutes later, I saw a couple of sheds coming to view with the dog catcher's truck parked beside one of them, covered with light brush. I crouch low as I hear laughing coming from one of the sheds. I snuck closer, still keeping a lower profile. I carefully made my way to the first building. Moving very slowly, I gave a bit of effort to put my front paws on the window sill. I did and I looked into a window. There they were. I scowled at the sight if them. The men that caused this hectic were eating as they were having a conversation and laughing. As soon as they started laughing again, I got down off the window sill quickly so they wouldn't have a chance to see me. I thought for a second, 'Did they have her in there? Or is she in the other shed?'. Thinking a bit longer, I walked around the shed unseen, as I made my way to the other shed. This shed was no bigger than a trailer house but no smaller than a toolshed. There were lights on in the shed. 'She must be in there!' I cheered to myself. I snuck up to a side of the shed and cautiously put my front paws on the window sill and looked into the window.
There! There she was! Maybelle was tied with a rope from her neck to one of the legs of a table, just lying there on the floor, hopefully sleeping or still unconscious.
