Hello there pups rangers finally back and I'm sorry for the long wait, but I'm back so it's all good now. I'm finally wrapping up this story, hope you all enjoy the ending of death of a friend

"I just killed a person, I'm a murderer" thought the Dalmatian as he fell to the ground shaking, the pistol still in his paws. The military pup took it and holstered it as he looked at the dead body of ivankov.

"Tango, Echo, you pups know what to do" said the leader as the others rolled him into a body bag and lifted the bag into the back of the jeep and drove off. The pup then turned to a group of police officers, all with guns drawn and aimed right at him.

"Cmon now boys, you really think I'm a threat to you?" He said raising his paws mockingly "I mean I was the police here with Ryder's dad before the paw patrol even existed." This drew a collective gasp from the crowd watching, but with this being a memorial to two of the other pups, ranger stopped him self, and he walked up to the caskets of both pups.

"I remember when you got chase,Ryder" he began, not taking his eyes off the caskets " I'm sorry I wasn't able to do something sooner."

Ryder still looked confused, as if he was piecing together who this pup was.

"I'm sorry sir but how do you know so much about us, if we ever met I don't remember you."

"Don't remember….." Those were the words that hurt the malinois the most, the promise they made all those years ago meant nothing now.

"You don't remember your first pup," he said roughly "I'll always remember you Ryder, I said it the day I left."

Ryder's eyes grew wide "R-r-ranger….. Is it really you?"

The malinois turned to the boy and smiled and nodded

"There is a time for that Ryder, but for now these pups deserve to be buried like the Heros they were." Ranger barked loudly and all the other police dogs in attendance formed a wall on either side of the aisle, saluting the caskets as they past them.

I had seen the caskets file out of the church and I began to cry even more, both out of fear and out of the fact both my friends are gone forever. Even the hugs and comfort from rocky wasn't enough.

I was crying too much during the actual burial of my friends, but ranger made sure they had a Heros burial, the same way any solider would be buried, both chase and Everest got honored the same way.

We all had left the grave site and made it back to the lookout, being the medical pup I am I noticed ranger was limping slightly, but I didnt wanna be rude and ask him but my medical side made me.

"Ummm excuse me uhhh Ranger sir? Are you alright I noticed your limp and wanted to know if I could help."

The malinois chuckled "you would have made your parents proud kid, your just like ember, always willing to help, I am fine thank you, it's an old injury from when I was overseas is all, never fully healed right."

"You were in the war,sir?" Asked rubble innocently Meanwhile I was in shock, this pup knew my parents, and I didn't even know who he was.

"Pup, I didn't just fight in the war, I lead troops in the war, well I used to until I was discharged." He said with a longing look on his face

Rubble looked like he had just seen Apollo the super pup him self, he was awestruck by ranger.

"You knew my parents…. How" I asked still confused.

"That's for another time marshall," said Ryder as he walked in " I'm sure ranger wants to rest a bit."

"I knew about all of you as I knew most of your families," said the malinois " and I served with a few."

All the pups were awestruck, and began asking about their past

Ranger barked restoring order…

" ok pups I'll tell you about your past….. And I'm going to start with you Ryder."

I know it's a short ending to a kinda short story but did ranger just hint at a new story idea….. Hmm seems you pups are gonna have to keep waiting for an answer…. Leave a review if you feel like, I love hearing from you all it tells me you guys still care. Until the next one Rangers outta here
