Kat stepped from the shadows and glared at Goodway and the pups.
"Where is everyone else?" he said in Skye's voice.
"Dead!" Aqua announced.
"Since you were kidnapped, we lost, Alex, Captain Turbot, and Marshall." Zuma said.
Chase having gotten out of his shock rushed over to the cockapoo and wrapped her in a bear hug. "I'm so glad that you are ok." Chase said.
"Yay! Skyes back. Come on. We need to get out of here before we run into any more of our dead friends!" Everest said.
"Too late!" Zuma announced. Everyone turned to see Ryder. "Of course! We are going to be killed by our owner." Lily said, burying her face in her paws. "Dont say that!" Chase hollered. "I dont know about you" Aqua said. "But I really don't plan on dying today!
Ryder rushed at them. "Oh shit. Jason voorhees style. Run!" Zuma screamed upon noticing the machete in Ryder's hand. Goodway took off. The pups rolled their eyes and ran after her.
"Just great! Who's next? Marshall?" Lily cried out. Suddenly Lily took off into a different direction. Puzzled, the pups followed her.
"I...had to open...my big...mouth" she said between breaths. Pain rolled up her side. Before anyone could ask her what she meant the pups heard a horrible scream. The scream abruptly cut off. "Well, cross Goodway off the list!" Chase said. "Chasey! I'm scared!" Kat said, a look of mock horror on his face. "I'll protect you Skye." Chase said. Lily looked back and ran faster upon seeing Ryder still following them.
Suddenly the roar of an engine sounded. A pickup truck came out of nowhere and smashed into Ryder. He flew across the road and smashed into a brick wall. He lay still. Turning around everyonewas shocked to see farmers Al and Yumi. "Come on. Get in. Farmer Al said. "Hurry" Rushing over Chase tossed Kat (in Skye's body) in the bed of the pickup before joining her. Turning around he helped everyone in. The truck started to speed away. "Rocky" Lily called out. The pups and farmers turned to see Lily holding on with one paw. Kat rushed over and pretending to pull her in, let go.
"NO!" Lily cried out. She landed on her side. As she was getting up, something slammed into the side of her head. Everything went black. "MEET US AT THE LOOKOUT!" BLACKIE SHOUTED.
Kat let fake tears run down his face. "Its ok. You tried." Everest muttered. "We have to meet them" Rocky shouted. "Are you nuts?!" Chase said. "I'm not losing anymore of my family!" The truck ran over a pothole. Snarling Rocky jumped out. And took off. "ROCKY!" Al screamed.
"UGH! He's a stubborn one!" Yumi said, turning the truck around. "All right! Let's go save Lily!" Chase said. Yumi sped down the road and pulled in front of Rocky. "Get in! Next stop. Lookout!" Aqua said.
Grinning, Rocky hopped in. The truck sped over the bridge. "There...on the roof?" Rocky said, said surprised. They observed Lily, tied with rope to the periscope. They climbed the hill towards the lookout tower. Yumi parked the truck and everyone got out. Al and Yumi grabbed shotguns. The pups led the way inside and up the stairs. Rocky grabbed Chase and pulled him into another room.
"That's not Skye." he hissed. "What are you talking about?" Chase asked. "Skye wouldn't let go of Lily on purpose."
Just then Chase's pup tag went off.
"Chase? You there?"
