Ryder's phone rang. He went out to answer it.
In the mean time, Marshall entered the room.
Everest immediately shot up. "How is he?"
"I dont know. The ambulance never showed." Marshall said.
The pups gasped.
"But...how?" Zuma asked.
Ryder came back in.
"Whsts up Ryder? You look as if you saw a ghost." Rubble said.
"Pups." Ryder paused. He took a deep breath. "The ambulance that was transporting Kat here was found upside down on Main Street! Along with destruction."
"And the hits just keep on coming." Zuma said, sarcastically. "Can this get any worse?"
"What about Kat?" Sweeie asked.
"He's missing." Ryder said.
"I stand corrected." Zuma said.
"What kind of damage?" Chase asked.
"Just shattered windows and down power lines. I'm heading there now to talk to the witness. Chase, let's go. Skye and Rocky. You too." Ryder said as they left. Sweetie followed.
Marshall checked Ella's vitals once more.
"I think I'm going back to the mountain for some shut-eye." Everest said. Slushie followed her sister.
Tuck, Zuma and Rubble were the only ones left. Marshall had left the room.
"Ohhhhhhh." the pups snapped alert.
They saw Ella lifting her head.
Rocky rushed to Marshall.
"Marshall! Marshall!" Rocky cried out.
Marshall turned. "She's awake." Rocky said.
Marshall rushed in.
Peter tossed his clipboard on the counter and followed.
"How do you feel?" Tuck asked his sister.
"Like I got hit by a truck carrying more trucks." Ella groaned as the trio ran in.
Peter felt her heartbeat with his stethoscope.
"Well. You were shot. In a robbery by thugs." Marshsll said. "Do you remember?"
She nodded. She looked around. "W-wheres Kat?" she asked.
"Do you want the truth?" Rubble asked her.
Ella nodded.
"Kat's been shot." Tuck said.
She shrieked and quickly tried to jump down. Peter gently pushed her back.
"No! No! I gotta see him!" Ella cried out. "Let me go!"
"Ella!" Marshall shouted. She stopped and looked at Marshall.
"Hes not here." Marshall said.
