Blackie walked through the woods. She was bleeding profusely from her side.
Skye's bullet had grazed it.
"I take it your hunt has been a success?" Maria asked as Blackie entered the cave.
"Yes it has Maria." Blackie said.
"Which one did you kill?" Goldie said.
"I killed the cockapoo." Blackie said.
"Blackie...you're injured." Goldie said.
"Dont worry. It's just a flesh wound. A bullet grazed my side. It wont take long to heal." Blackie informed them.
"So what happened?" Maria asked after looking and dressing up her wound.
"I masked my scent and went to watch. Upon noticing the husky I began to creep up to her but the sirens stopped me. The FBI are after us too. Anyway...after the mutt took her last breath, the German shepherd scratched the husky in the face." Blackie said.
Maria grinned from ear to ear. "Well strike again soon." Maria said, holding a picture of her next target. "But for now, let's get some rest." Maria said.
CITY HALL
Marshall was busy tending to Everest wounds. "I hope I dont have scars." Everest said, glaring at Chase.
Chase glared back.
"Will you to behave?" Ryder said. "Chase I know that you blame Everest. But you needn't have scratched her. That's assault right there. And Everest you shouldn't have went into there without telling us. That's failure to obey a lawful order. I am very disappointed in both of you." Ryder said before walking away.
"Ryder is right you know?" Rocky said.
"Hey you didn't lose your wife!" Chase snapped.
"Ryder is right Chase. I know you lost your wife. But I lost my BEST FRIEND. Me and Skye went through so much together. I LOVED her like a sister I never had. You can blame me if you want. Because I blame myself." Everest before walking away.
Chase softened his glare. Sighing he got up and walked away to search for her.
He found her sitting on a bench in front of city hall. "Look Everest. I dont really blame you. I blame Maria. I'm just MAD at you for not calling in backup." Chase told her.
She turned around to see Chase. Everest was munching on a honey bun. "Where'd you get that?" Chase asked her.
"Vending machine over there." she said. Chase went over, popped in a quarter and came back with a bag of skittles. "Sorry I scratched you." he told her.
The two hugged. "Let's stick together through thick and thin." Everest said.
"Deal."
