104R 43: Saving Copper.
Elsewhere in London, a red bus pulled up by the pound and came to a stop and Keegan, with his pale brown backpack on his back, and the Miller pups exited the vehicle. After the bus had dropped Isabella and Charlie and the others off near the asylum, Keegan asked the bus driver to drop him and the puppies off at the pound.
"Thanks." Said Keegan before the bus drove off. The boy and the puppies then ran up to the pound building. The 11 year old's cellphone then rang and he got it out and answered it. "Hello?"
"Keegan, it's Charlie. We're headed your way, where are you?"
"I'm outside the pound with the puppies. Did you guys get my aunt Candace out of the asylum?" Keegan asked.
"Yes, we did. You're aunt Candace is with us and we're headed your way right now." Said Charlie.
"We'll be here." Said Keegan.
"Okay, thanks. See you there. Bye." Said Charlie before ending the call.
Keegan then placed his phone back in his pants pocket.
"Who was that?" Mickey asked.
"That was Charlie. He and the others have my aunt Candace and they're on their way here right now, so we have to be quick about this." Said Keegan.
"I'm on it." Said Max. The eight week old puppy looked up at a vent on the wall of the outside part of the building and shot red lazers out of his eyes, hitting the vent and blowing it off.
"Whoa! Awsome!" Said Keegan.
Max then jumped up to the opened vent and grabbed ahold of it with his paws and pulled himself inside it.
The eight week old pup quietly walked through the ventilation shaft and went down the left part of the shaft and came to a stop when he reached another vent. He looked through the vent and saw a man sitting at a desk in a rolling chair, in front of three computers, with a pair of headphones on his ears.
Max then spotted a keychain that was hooked to the man's pants. "Bingo." The eight week old Dalmatian quietly opened the vent and jumped out of the shaft and landed on the floor. He walked over to where the man was and grabbed the keychain with his mouth and headed back towards the vent.
Back outside, Max poked his head out of the vent. "Look out below." He said before dropping the keys from his mouth. The keys landed in Keegan's hands and Max jumped out of the shaft, rejoining the gang.
Inside the pound, Keegan stayed low to the floor as he and the Dalmatians quietly passed by the man's office. The 11 year old looked through a window and saw that the man was sitting at his desk, looking at his computer, with a pair of headphones on. Seeing that the guy was paying no attention to his surroundings, the kid and the pups passed by the office.
Meanwhile, inside another room, Copper was lying down in the same cage the animal control officers had brought him in earlier.
"Well, guess this is it for me. No friends...no family. I can't even save people from fires anymore. I'm finished. A lonely, washed up loser. Just a crazy dog in a cage talking to himself." Said Copper.
Elsewhere in the pound, Keegan and the pups ran through another part of the building, calling Copper's name.
"Copper." Said Keegan.
"Copper." Said Dice.
"Come here, boy." Said Keegan.
"Copper." Said Mickey.
Back in the other room, Copper could hear someone calling his name.
"Copper." Came a voice.
"Yep, i'm already hearing things." Said Copper.
"Copper, where are you?" Keegan called as he and the puppies ran through the building.
"Copper." Said Keegan as he opened a door to a room, only to find Copper, lying down inside a cage.
"Copper." Said Dice as he and the others entered inside the room, running up to the cage.
"You guys." Said Copper, standing up and wagging his tail.
"Shh. Keep it down. We're busting you out of this piece." Said Dice.
"Copper, we're here to take you home." Said Keegan as he got down on his knees in front of the cage.
"But i got Keegan's aunt Candace into trouble, just like i did all of you. I'm a streak of bad luck." Said Copper to the Miller pups, as they were the only ones who could hear him speak.
"Are you kidding me? You didn't cause any trouble. You're just as much of a victim as Candace and the rest of us. Linda's the real trouble maker in all of this. She's the one who framed Candace for stealing us. And she's the one who framed Candace for kidnapping Keegan. And it was 'HER' who framed Candace for stealing all of London's Dalmatian puppy population. Now wheather Linda's involved in this or not, we can't be too sure. But my point, Copper, is that you're not to blame for all that has happened. Linda framed Candace for kidnapping us. Linda framed her for stealing all of the Dalmatians in London. Linda framed her for kidnapping Keegan...and Linda had Candace locked away in that asylum." Said Mickey.
"But everyone in London hates me now. They're all afraid of me, as if i'm some kind of monster. I could feel it everywhere." Said Copper.
"Everyone loves you, Copper. Even me. There, i said it." Said Max.
"We're on your team, you know. Always. We're family." Said Keegan.
"We all miss you, Copper." Said Dice.
Keegan then opened the cage and Copper exited his small imprisonment and barked. "Come here, Copper. Come here." Said the 11 year old as he embraced the seven week old liver-spotted Dalmatian.
"What are we still standing here for? Let's blow this pop stand." Said Mickey.
"I'm with you. Let's make like a bananna and split." Said Max.
"Come on, let's go." Said Keegan as he stood up and ran towards the door with the Miller pups. "Come on, Copper, let's go."
Copper followed Keegan and the others out of the room and they ran through the building.
"Come on. We're almost there." Said Keegan as he ran through the building with the puppies.
Outside, the white asylum truck drove onto the property and came to a halt just as Keegan and the five Dalmatians came running out of the pound.
"Look, there they are. And they've got Copper." Said Charlie.
Isabella then honked the horn, causing Keegan and the puppies to stop in their tracks. Isabella then stuck her head and arm out her window, revealing herself. "HEY! OVER HERE!" She said as she honked the horn and waved her hand.
"Isabella!" Said Keegan before a bright light shined itself on him and the puppies, blinding them.
"Where did that light come from?" Isabella asked.
"Look!" Said Charlie.
Isabella looked to the left and saw a black limozeen shinning it's bright headlights on Keegan and the puppies. "A limo?"
The limozeen then zoomed forward, causing Keegan and the puppies to scatter in different directions. The limo then turnned around and cut Copper off, blocking his path. The right front door then opened and the driver grabbed ahold of Copper, pulling him into the vehicle with them.
"Hey! Let him go! What are you doing!" Said Keegan before the limo began to speed off. "No! No, wait! You can't do this! You can't take him!" Said the 11 year old as he and the four puppies chased after the limo. But they were too late. The vehicle was already way ahead of them...and it sped off into the street, heading for it's next destination. "Stop! Stop, come back!" He said as he and the puppies stopped in their tracks.
Isabella, Charlie, Candace, Waddlesworth and the dogs all exited the asylum truck and ran over to where Keegan and the puppies were.
"What happened?" Isabella asked.
"You okay, Keegan?" Candace asked.
"Copper?" Charlie called, looked for the liver-spotted pup, only to find that he was nowhere around.
"They took Copper!" Said Keegan.
"Don't worry. We'll get him back." Said Candace.
"We...we will?" Keegan asked.
"Yes...we will." Said Candace.
"How? We have no idea who that person was or why they took Copper or where they're going? How are gonna find them?" Said Keegan.
While the humans were chatting amongst each other, Olive noticed something lying on the ground in the spot where the limo had abducted Copper. The limon spotted Dalmatian puppy ran over to the unknown device and looked at it. It was a train ticket from a train station. The driver must have dropped it when they grabbed Copper and pulled him in the car. Thinking that it could be a clue, Olive picked up the ticket in her mouth and ran over to the gang and barked, getting their attention.
"What is it, Olive?" Candace asked.
"She's got something in her mouth." Said Charlie.
Isabella bent down and removed the unknown object from Olive's mouth and stood up and looked at it, along with Keegan, Candace and Charlie.
"What is it, Izzy?" Keegan asked.
"It's train tricket from the Orient Express." Said Isabella before examining the writting that was printed on the ticket. "New Zealand." Izzy's blue eyes went wide. "They're going to New Zealand! Come on!"
The gang then rushed back over to the white truck and Candace, Keegan and Isabella got inside the front part of the truck, with Candace on the driver's side, and Waddlesworth and the dogs and the Miller pups all got inside the back of the vehicle. Charlie closed the double doors and joined the others up front.
Candace then backed the truck up and zoomed off the property and sped off down the street for the Orient Express train station.
