Chapter nineteen

"What was that?" Storm stopped and listened in the night.

"I don't know what you mean. You must be this tired that you already hear things!" Spot laughed.

"Shh! There is something." Again, there was this odd loud. Now Spot had heard it too. Storm walked to where she had heard the voice.

"Storm!"

"I want to know what that is!" Spot shook his head.

"Oww, Spot, Look at this, it's so cute!" Spot stepped closer but suddenly stopped.

"OH, NO!" Storm was holding a small dog in her arms. The dog wasn't older then a half year and dirty.

"Take this creature away from me!!!"

"Spot, how can you talk like this! He needs a place to stay!"

"No way! Not in MY lodging house! Not as long as I'm alive!!!"

"We can't just leave him here! He'll die!!!"

"Yeah, so what?! There are so many dogs out there and every day they die! SO what? It's another one!" Storm narrowed her eyes at him.

"Then why didn't you just leave me bleeding to death in that ally weeks ago? I would have been just another one!"

"That's not the same! You are human! This is a brutal dog!!!!"

"Brutal? Spot, he isn't even big enough to scar a little mouse! So why are you afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid! I just HATE dogs! And no dog will ever stay in MY house!!!"

"Well, then I'm staying here too!" Spot looked at her as if she was crazy.

"What?"

"I'm not gonna let this poor dog die out here. You won't let him stay in the lodging house. So there's just one possibility: I'm staying here!"

"Storm, that's insane! You won't stay here."

"Then you'll let him stay at the lodging house? Pleeeeeeaaaaaaassssseee????" Storm looked up at him her eyes just as big as the eyes of the dog. Exactly so dark and even more pleading. Till now, with this look she had always gotten what she had wanted.

"Oh no, don't look at me this way! NO....no... Okay!!!! But if he just makes one little mistake... he's out of Brooklyn!" Storm jumped and kissed Spot on the cheek.

"Thank you Spot! I knew you have a good heart anywhere deep down there!" She winked at him.

"Why have I this bad feeling, that I will regret it?!" Spot mumbled as they walked back.
