Thursday night everyone decided to go to bed early mainly because Chase had to leave right after breakfast in the morning. About 10 o'Clock the Burglar Alarm went off in the Lookout.. Ryder quickly got up and threw on his shorts running to the control room. Chase was already circling the perimeter and Ryder called.
"Chase are you ok?" said Ryder
"I'm ok" said Chase "Are you?"
"Yes I'm secured in the Control Room" said Ryder "We got two locked in the elevator. Do you see any others."
"No Sir" said Chase "Perimeter secure. Pup House secure. I'll make access to the elevator"
Ryder was coming down the stairs as Chase entered the bay. The two men were trying their best to break the glass walls.
Ryder spoke to them over the intercom "It's no use those walls are bulletproof. You're caught, who are you?"
The two turned around and sat on the floor, neither speaking.
"What do we do with um Ryder" asked Chase
"We'll turn them over to the local police and they can hold them until they feel like talking" said Ryder.
"What were they after" said Chase "I'm not sure. It looks like they were trying to head for the Control Room. Without the access ID the elevator locked down, I guess that's one more thing we should thank Rocky for."
"He was the best inventor" agreed Chase
The police came and took custody of the two men. They still weren't talking except to say they wanted their lawyer.
With the commotion over, Ryder and Chase went to bed.
Chase was up a little later last night than he hoped because of the night's events and about four in the morning Zuma had knocked on his door crying and Chase had sat with him telling him it would be alright they spent about an hour telling Rocky stories and laughing, crying and just helping Zuma through his depression. Chase Lead Zuma back to his pup house and then went back to his pup house and put on his FBI Black Tactical uniform. Chase went out and began waking the other pups letting Zuma sleep in.
Chase finally walked to Skye's door and knocked "Time to wake up Skye" said Chase. Skye opened the door and saw Chase standing there in his FBI uniform. Skye gasp and grabbed Chase by the collar and drug him inside closing the door.
The pups were eating breakfast and Skye and Chase came walking in and began eating.
"Uniforms a little wrinkled there Chase" laughed Marshall.
"I fell down" blushed Chase "Shut up Marshall"
Marshall almost choked on his food laughing.
Thomas came walking in and as the pups were finishing breakfast. "Ready to go Special Agent Chase?"
Skye looked at Chase, Chase just blushed and said "Yeah, let's go. See y'all later."
Skye said "Please be careful Chase"
"I will" said Chase quickly leaving with Thomas.
Thomas explained on the way the plan for tonight. He would be going in to make the buy and If what Chase had said was correct he would call the seller out for selling fake paintings. At that point the team would storm the building and arrest everyone including Thomas to keep his cover intact.
Meanwhile back at Ghost Wolf Headquarters Rocky was explaining that he had been observing the Lookout and noticed activity. Upon further investigation he found that the Paw Patrol was back and the pups were outside. Rocky was sure no one saw him, but wondered if anyone had found his hints he left.
"Um Ghost?" said Nero
"Yeah Nero" said Rocky "What is it?"
"Um it appears that Pete and one of the others didn't notice the Paw Patrol back and tried to break into the Lookout afterall."
"Crap" said Rocky "What did they get?"
Nothing according to the police report" said Nero "They got trapped in the elevator somehow. The local police have them now. They requested their attorney but that it so far."
"The elevator trap worked!" said Rocky "One of my better ideas. Well at least part of our plan happened. Anything new on the paintings?"
"No Ghost" said Nero "Now with Pete arrested, we don't have a line to get the time and place."
"Well I guess I'm heading to the hideout and watch for someone to come get the paintings' said Rocky "Y'all be ready tonight as soon as they move them I'll let you know where to meet up with me. Maybe we'll take down both sides the seller and the buyer, that is if the buyer doesn't kill the seller."
"You got it Ghost" said Nero
Rocky headed out to Pete's hideout and set up across the street again. Later that afternoon a nice car pulled up to the warehouse. A younger well dressed man got out and walked into the warehouse with another larger man.
"Nero they're here" said Rocky "One well dressed guy I'm assuming is Les. I sent you a picture for the file."
"Got it Ghost" said Nero "We're on the way. You don't have to follow too close. The trackers are still transmitting."
"Ok Nero" said Rocky "Meet me near where it stops. I'll try to find high ground."
"Talk to you soon Ghost" said Nero
Rocky made his way to the ground and got on his bike. As they car pulled away he followed at a safe distance. The car was headed for the docks. The car pulled into a warehouse on the docks and the doors closed behind them. Rocky found a place to hide his bike and headed for the roof of the warehouse.
Once on the roof he say the man he had decided was Les Humdinger pull out the paintings.
"I don't see what the fuss is about" said Les "These look terrible. I guess I'm not high falutin enough to know why anyone would spend that kind of money for these."
'Great he's an idiot' thought Rocky 'At least he doesn't know a real painting when he see it. Hopefully the buyer knows, otherwise this may be a long night."
Rocky decide to move over to a roof across the way so he could see the front door. He left a camera that Nero gave him to watch the inside of the warehouse.
"Camera's in place" said Rocky "I'm moving across from the front door."
"Got the feed, it looks good and confirmed that is Les Humdinger according to the picture you sent" said Nero.
"Well" said Rocky "Now we wait"
It was getting dark and a dark car pulled up and two men got out. Further away a van had stopped and the FBI assault team go out and began making their way to the warehouse.
"Nero" said Rocky "I think the buyer just made it. He's got a bodyguard or something with him."
"Ghost get out of there" said Nero "There's a bunch of guys heading your way. Looks like they have a surprise for humdinger."
"Ok I'm moving to a secure location" said Rocky "Do you see anything inside yet?"
"Yeah" said Nero "Their beginning their meeting. I'll keep you posted. I think we should leave this one alone Ghost. Those guys coming up on you have guns and a lot of them."
"Agreed, But I want to watch and make sure Humdinger doesn't get away" said Rocky moving to a shadowy corner where he could still see the door and the roof across the street.
Rocky watch as two men set up what looked like a sniper rifle on the roof across from the door. He also watched as a group including a german shepherd got on the roof and secured lines to repel into the warehouse.
"Nero" said Rocky "This doesn't look good for Humdinger. They're set up to take that place apart. What a minute."
"What is it Ghost? said Nero "Do you need extraction?"
"I think I know that German Shepherd" said Rocky "Yes it's Chase from Paw Patrol. What is he doing here? Y'all get out of here. I'm secure, I'm going to watch from here."
"Ok Ghost" said Nero "Stay safe, We still got feed from the camera. I guess they haven't found it yet. Scratch that I lost feed, I think they found it."
Moments later the front door exploded and the teams rushed or repelled inside. Rocky watched in amazement as FBI cars came out of the woodwork with lights flashing and a short firefight was heard. When it ended Rocky watched as Les was lead out in handcuffs limping, obviously bitten probably by Chase.
'Way to go Chase' thought Rocky as he moved from his position and made his way back to his bike. Luckily well away from the area he was able to ride back to the base without being seen. So many thoughts were running through Rocky's head that he almost forgot to call the guys and update them on what happened.
"Nero" said Rocky
"Go ahead Ghost are you still safe" asked Nero
"Yes I'm out of the area" said Rocky "You're not going to believe this. It was the FBI that swarmed the place. They got Humdinger."
"Your buddy Chase works for the FBI?" asked Lyons from the background.
"I don't know" said Rocky "Nero see what you can find out. See you back at base."
Rocky arrived and Nero met him in the bay.
"It seems that's where the Paw Patrol was" said Nero "Chase graduated from the FBI K9 Academy. But somehow he's still assigned to Paw Patrol as an Auxiliary K9."
"Is there nothing safe from you Nero?" laughed Rocky
"Nope, I'm the eyes of the Ghost Wolf" laughed Nero
"Humdinger's going to lose his mind" said Rocky
"You think he'll run?" asked Nero
"Probably" said Rocky "We'll have to wait and see. You think we could bug Humdinger's Office."
"I can create it" said Nero "Do you think you can get it in place?"
"I'll die trying" said Rocky "get me the building layout and I'll figure out how to get in."
"You got it Ghost" said Nero "That bastard's going down this time."
Chase and Thomas were talking in the warehouse.
"Wow, that was fun" said Chase
"I couldn't have planned it any better" laughed Thomas "All I saw was teeth falling on top of Humdinger. I'm sure that's what he saw too."
"I loved it" laughed Chase "But he tastes horrible. So are they fake"
"Oh yes" said Thomas "But these are made by a professional. I've never seen such good quality of forgeries. I'm not sure if this isn't a problem also."
"Hey, what's that" said Chase pointing to the frame of one of the pictures
"Hey, great eye Chase" said Thomas "I didn't see that, let's see. It's some kind of tracking device."
Thomas yelled at one of his men. He came running over to him.
"See if you can backtrace this device and see where it's transmitting to" said Thomas
"Right away Sir" said the agent
Back at headquarters Nero noticed someone trying to back trace his device. He quickly cut the link and went to find Rocky.
"Ghost, we may have a problem" said Nero
"What?" asked Rocky
"I think the FBI is trying to backtrace my tracking device" said Nero
"Did they get a lock" asked Rocky
"I'm not sure" said Nero "What should we do?"
"Let's bail and watch just in case" said Rocky "Guys! BUG OUT! We've been compromised."
Everyone grabbed what they could and threw it into the van. Nero was able to get all his computers and Lyons was able to get all the extra supplies. Everything other than personal items Daniel already had in the van. Rocky threw his stuff in the van and jumped on his bike.
"You guys head out of town" said Rocky "I'm get out of the area and watch the building.
"Stay safe Ghost" said Lyons
They guys jumped in the van and headed out of town. Rocky rode down the block and hid his bike. Rocky then climbed to the roof just as a bunch of vehicles stormed their headquarters.
'Well' thought Rocky 'I guess they got the trace before Nero cut the line."
"Guys, they found the headquarters" said Rocky "Looks like we'll be needing a new home."
"I'll start looking" said Nero
"I'm going to wait until they leave" said Rocky
"We got a lock" said the agent running up to Thomas.
"Let's go, Chase with me" yelled Thomas
A group remained to secure the scene and the rest followed Thomas to the traced location.
They pulled up to the building and immediately stormed into the building. Chase was in the lead checking for booby traps as he went.
"Clear!" yelled Chase
The team stormed in securing the building. They found the place looked like someone left in a hurry. Chase continued to search rooms. He found one room near the bay and began searching the room. He jumped on the bed and immediately flashed back.
***Flashback ***
Chase and Rocky were wrestling and Rocky had sat on Chase trying to get the upper paw. Chase took a deep breath and all he could smell was Rocky.
*** Back ***
"That's it" yelled Chase
"What?" said Thomas "What's it?"
"I um" stuttered Chase "I'm not sure."
"Chase" said Thomas "If you know something, you need to tell me. I can order you if I have too."
Chase hung his head 'Could it really be?' through Chase
"Um sir" said Chase "I'll talk to you but not around anyone else."
"Ok Chase" said Thomas "Let's go to my car. Guys clean this place out. I want everything inventoried."
Chase and Thomas went to Thomas' car and sat down.
"Ok Chase" said Thomas "What's the big deal?"
"Sir, my nose has never failed me" said Chase
"Ok and?" said Thomas
"Sir, you're a good friend and I trust you above anyone." said Chase
"Just spit it out already" said Thomas getting agitated.
"I know this sounds crazy" said Chase "But that bed has been slept in by my friend Rocky."
"The pup that got executed?" said Thomas surprised
"I know" said Chase "It sounds crazy. He's been gone for months now, but I swear he has been in that bed in the last day. And I smelled him inside the Lookout the other day but couldn't place it. Now they were just here, they could have gotten far"
"Ok Chase" said Thomas "This is between you and me for now. I have to ask thought. Do you think Rocky would be a threat to our operation.:
"Never" said Chase "If it is truly him. He is probably trying to take down Humdinger and clear his name."
"Do you think he would come to you if you tried to make contact" asked Thomas
"I don't know" said Chase "I'll try but the guys have to back off and let it to me."
"Ok" said Thomas "You're one of the best K9's I've ever worked with. I'll trust you on this. We'll headback to the other scene and finish up. See if you can find him."
"Yes Sir!" said Chase wagging his tail
'Oh Rocky' thought Chase 'please be alive, Zuma needs to know you're ok'
All the FBI units except Chase got in the cars and left the scene. Chase stood out front of the building looking for any sign.
Rocky watched as everyone left and notice that Chase was standing alone out front. Was this some kind of a trap? Were they on to him now? Could he take a chance and get word to Zuma, he had to know it was going to be ok.
"Nero" said Rocky
"Go ahead Ghost" said Nero
"What we talked about earlier" said Rocky
"Yeah" said Nero
"I'm going to give it a shot" said Rocky "If you don't hear from me within twenty minutes you guys get out of here I'll never give you up."
"Rocky" said Nero "I understand, please be safe. I look forward to hearing from you soon."
"Cut radio traffic if you don't hear from me" said Rocky "I don't want them to be able to track you if this is a trap."
"Good Luck Ghost" said Nero "I have faith in you."
Rocky stepped out of the shadows and slowly walked towards Chase.
A/N: So what do you think will happen? What will Chase do when he sees Rocky? Turn in next week...
