In this chapter I will tell you what happened to Daniel.
Daniel woke up in a dark room in which the only light was from a fireplace. He was lying on the couch covered with a blanket.
"Where am I? It certainly is not the building where Kodi lives." Daniel thought.
The boy decided to look around, when he left the bed he fell to the floor and vomited. "Why do I have my hands tied?"
Steele came around from the corner. "Finally you wake up, my son." Steele looked at the stain on the floor. "Star, come here and clean it."
"Okay Boss." Star replied with dissatisfaction.
"Well, son, you're finally with me. Are you hungry?" Steele asked with a friendly attitude.
"Where is Kodi and how did I get here?" Daniel asked indignantly.
Steele smiled and spat on the floor. "Here he is still a little bit."
Daniel looked at the saliva stain and saw that it was red. "What did you do to him, you bastard." Daniel answered angry.
"I had no choice beacouse he didn't want to give you back to me." Steele responded with mock sadness.
"Don't worry, Bingo and Kabi will do nothing to you. You're safe with me, son." Steele said confident.
"From where did you know when to kidnap me?" Daniel asked.
"Do you remember the sausage that I fed you? Let's just say I changed it a bit." Steele smiled and showed Daniel sleeping pills.
"Balto spoke well that Steele had prepared himself." Daniel thought.
"Where are we?" Daniel asked with interest.
"You do not recognize this place, it's our home where we lived before you move into the Brown family house." Steele said with displeasure.
"But this house was sold to Mr. O'Nelle ..." Daniel stopped thinking when he saw the newspaper on the table with the title "Lost Man."
Can you unsolve my hands?" Daniel asked uncertainly.
"No ... maybe you want me to let you out right away?" Steele asked indignantly.
"That's what I want." Daniel replied.
"It was a rhetorical question, I will not solve your hands until you understand that you want to be here with me." Steele replied with madness in his eyes.
"I never ..." Daniel paused, and thought it better to say what Steele wants to hear. "... I will never repay you for freeing me from Kabi ... he wouldn't let me go."
"I'm happy that we're together again, son." Steele smiled pleasantly and hugged Daniel.
"Yes, I'm happy too D...D... Dad." Daniel spewed these words through his teeth.
"You don't know how long I've waited until you come back. When you weren't here I met a nice husky, we fell in love , and we have a beautiful daughter ... you probably already met Dusty ... thanks to her I found out that you came back... my beloved died shortly after the birth of my daughter, then I decided that I would give her a name for the letter D to remind me of you, but she didn't fill the emptiness in my heart beacose you left me. " Steele spoke sadly, glanced up at the ceiling, Daniel saw the tear running down Steele's cheek in the light of the fireplace.
"He really has changed ..." Daniel thought.
"But I've got you back." The madness again appeared in the Steele's eyes.
"No, he hasn't changed ..." Daniel thought.
Daniel thought about something for a moment and then turned to Steele. "You know, Steele, I left my backpack where Kabi lives ... you could solve my hands and I take him back in a moment."
"I will do it for you son ... I will come back soon." Steele ran out of the house.
Nicky and Star approached Daniel. "You better not try to run away from here, I don't have to do anything for Steele since you arrived here and I like it. Do you understand?" Nicky said dryly.
"Yeah, I like it too." Star added.
"Kaltag is not one of you?" Daniel asked.
"No, he set us up for this wolfdog." Nicky replied.
"Yeah, but boss have a plan to bring him back to us." Star said.
"Shut up, do not tell him about the boss's plans." Nicky shouted.
"Sorry." Star replied.
...
At that time, Steele ran to the building where Kodi lived.
In the building several dogs were talking, and Kodi was lying on Daniel's backpack and looking at the pictures.
Everyone in the building was surprised when the door opened with a crack. Between Steele's paws, snow and cold from the outside were blowing.
Steele walked slowly into the room and looked around for the backpack, noticing that Kodi was lying on him.
"Kabi, why are you still standing in my way? Give me back this backpack, now!" Steele shouted.
"No." Kodi answered weakly.
"You still have not enough Kabi?" Steele ask bravery.
Kodi slowly stood up, barely holding on his legs. "No, you are have to give Daniel back to me."
"You are pathetic ... you are barely standing up and you challenge me? Steele asked laughing.
"It was not a request, Steele, it's an order." Kodi answered bravely.
"Then I let you go, but now there will be no mercy." Steele replied and headed for Kodi.
The rest of the dogs wanted to help Kodi but they weren't brave enough to do it.
Kodi wounded Steele and he knocked him down. Steele stood proudly over the lying Kodi. "Any last words, Kabi?"
"Tell Daniel that I'm sorry I let him down." Kodi responded, ready to die.
"It's cute." Steele replied laughing at Kodi's face.
Suddenly Dusty ran into the building. "Dad, calm down!"
Steele turned and looked at Dusty. "Don't bother me, daughter... Aaugh!"
When Steele focused his attention on Dusty, Kodi bit him in the forepaw.
Dusty stood between Steele and Kodi. "Move away, daughter." Steele said furiously.
"No!" Dusty replied firmly.
"In that case, I don't have a daughter anymore." Steele replied disappointed. Dusty has been paralyzed by Steele's words. Steele took the backpack with the pictures.
Steele lowered the room, limping, and returned home.
