Blackie and Goldie stared at the two. "What do you mean your dead?" Blackie said.
"Just what I said. We are already dead. Doomed to roam this earth in vain. Searching for the bulldog that caused our demise. We died many years ago in the Great Blizzard of '09. I'll explain later." Kat said. "Let's go find that bulldog." Maria said.
Walking together with Kat in the lead, the four exited Katie's. "Oh wait." Kat said. "One more thing." He walked back inside waved his paw in front of Katie. "Beware the Howloween Hounds." Kat rasped, breathing hard.
A few seconds later, Katie blinked her eyes.
SCENE CHANGE: CITY HALL SECURITY ROOM
"I can not believe you broke the security monitors, Marshsll." Everest told her husband. "I told you I..." Marshall began. "Ok. Ok. No need to get all worked up over it." Ryder said. "Whew. It's so hot in here." Goodway said. She mopped sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. "Beware the Howlloween Hounds." a voice whispered. "What was that?" Alex said. He grabbed hold of his grandfather's leg. "Pups. This isn't funny." Ryder said, sternly. "It wasn't us Ryder. Honest." Chase told his owner. His eyes were wide with fear. "Beware the Howlloween Hounds." the voice said again. "I'm scared." Zuma and Aqua said. CREEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKK! The door sloooooowwwwllllllyyyyy slid open, making a loud creak. A rush of cold air filled the room. Cali rushed out of the room in fear. "Cali! No! Come back!" Skye shouted out. She started to rush after the feline, but Chase held her back. "No! We have to stick togeth..." Chase was interrupted by a crash. "What was that?" Skye asked. "Sounds like glass breaking. Maybe something fell over." Mr. Porter said. With Ryder in the lead they slowly tiptoed out of the room.
Ryder poked his head out and looked one way. Then the other, making sure it was safe.
They started down the hall. As they turned the corner, Ryder froze. He let out a sharp gasp. The others crowded around him. They saw the cabinet first. The heavy wooden antique chains cabinet. Broken glass was everywhere. Then they saw...CALI!
Her head was sticking out. But the rest of her body was UNDER the cabinet. Blood leaked out from under it. The sharp metallic smell stung the pups's noses. Ryder and Captain Turbot rushed over to her. "On three. One, two, three." Ryder said. The two tensed the muscles in their arms and lifted the cabinet. After it was moved aside they turned towards her and screamed.
Sharp shards of glass pierced her body from the neck down.
There was a large gash in her stomach. Her intestines were hanging out of her body. Blood was everywhere.
"This was no accident." Chase said.
"Agreed!" Ryder said. "A cabinet doesn't just fall on its own.
"It looks like she was ripped open." Aqua said. "Right guys? "Uh guys?"
The group turned around to see no one.
Skye, Zuma, Lily, Rocky, Goodway, Marshall, Everest, and Alex was gone.
