Everest pointed her spear at the bloodhounds neck. Zuma, using a spear as well, pointed the spear into Bloodbath's back.
She felt the cold point on her skin.
She nodded and dropped the machete. It hit the floor with a clang.
"What business are you referring to?" Bloodbath asked.
"Al here tells us that you are the one to come to for guns and weaponry." Skye said. "That you're the best of the best. Is he correct?"
Bloodbath blushed. "Well I wouldn't say THE best. But...yeah...he's correct."
"My services ain't free though. These guns and weapons came at...great...personal cost. It's worth billions." she said, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Well we only have close to a million of this dough ray me." Brownie said. "Will you accept any other form of payment?"
"Yes." Bloodbath said as she scratched her ear. She shook herself.
"I'll either take money or blood." Bloodbath said as she grinned.
"You know, your name suits you." Everest said. A bloodhound named Bloodbath who likes drinking blood."
"Yeah. Like a Vampire!" Marshall said.
"You shall get your blood." Kat said.
"Word on the street is that you are looking for a certain west highland terrier." Kat said.
"She ratted out one of my operations. Some of my men were captured in a raid. Are now serving prison time. I lost good men that day." Bloodbath sighed. "But the Sweetheart, the Royal Pup, is protected by the Princess of Barkingburg. Going into the castle is like a death sentence."
Kat motioned to Rocky and Marshall with his paw.
"Well today happens to be your lucky day." Miranda said.
"Oh? Why is that exactly?" a figure said joining Bloodbath. Kat stared at the bull dog.
They stared in shock.
"Who the hell are you?" Kat said.
The bulldog glared at Kat menacingly.
Kat seemed unfazed and glared back aside the others.
"You better check that tone. And the names Spike." he said. "I'm Bloodbath's mate."
"We don't want any quarrel with you. So just skedaddle back to where you came from." Spike said.
"An ant has no quarrel with a boot." Everest said.
"You planning to step on us?" Bloodbath asked.
"Oh no of course not. We come with a gift to you." Marshall said.
He reached into a sack but Spike growled. "Throw it here."
He motioned with his big furry paw.
"Gladly." Rocky chucked the sack forward.
It landed at their feet with a thud.
Bloodbath and Spike looked at it with disinterest. "Whsts in it?" Bloodbath asked as Spike reached in.
"Your cup of blood." Kat grinned as Spike pulled a struggling Sweetie out.
She struggled harder upon noticing Bloodbath.
Her front and back paws were taped together. Her muzzle was taped shut. Her eyes were wide with fear.
"Stop squirming." Kat shouted as he slapped her. "You brought your comeuppance into yourself. If you hadn't ruined my plans to rule this backwater city you wouldn't be here. More or less."
"Now about our deal..." Skye was interrupted by a loud voice.
"There won't be a deal. Let my girlfriend go!" a voice shouted.
