"Or not" Colleen thought bitterly as she watched the news the next morning. On the screen the German Chancellor was standing outside the guard dog training school where the Rovers had fought Parvo just a few days ago. Standing next to him was a beautiful, young, male Doberman. The Rovers watched sadly as the Chancellor introduced the Doberman, Fritz, the school's most prized pupil, as his new dog and paraded him in front of the camera for everyone to see.
"Not everyone just someone" Colleen found herself thinking.
As if he had been waiting for a cue, Blitz picked that exact moment to enter the room. As he entered his eyes were drawn to the television and he stood watching it for several minutes. When he finally spoke his tone was quiet and defeated.
"Fritz huh" he said. "Well I hope those two are happy together". Then without another word Blitz retreated back to his room.
Colleen was the first to act. As soon as Blitz left the room she jumped up and followed him. She caught up with him just as he was slamming his door shut. As the door swung toward her Colleen caught it and pushed it back open. Then she stood in the doorway looking at Blitz who was sitting, head down, on the end of his bed. Colleen wanted to say something comforting but when she opened her mouth it seemed to take on a life of its own.
"So that's it!" she demanded. "You're just going to let some rookie take away your home"!
"What else can I do?" Blitz asked miserably.
"If I was you I'd be out looking for the person or people responsible for ruining my life".
"Be serious"!
"I am serious"!
"Colleen the robbery happened three days ago. Only a really stupid criminal would still have any evidence of what they had done".
Colleen stared into Blitz's eyes. "Are you or aren't you the fiercest guard dog in Berlin" she asked sounding quite fierce herself.
"I think so" Blitz responded.
"Then how smart could any criminal that broke into your home be" Colleen asked as she turned and walked away letting the door swing shut.
