Chapter 18-An Old Friend
Forty-one hours the Canadian police drove to the US to drop him off in Florence, Colorado. Where he was going to supermax prison.
When they got there, Humdinger saw the place. It was big and scary. The officer stopped the car then they walked inside.
A prison guard stripped him of everything and the former mayor got his orange jumpsuit, he went over to processing to get his fingerprints and mugshot then.
He was placed in a cell with his goons in their own cells. He sighed as he sat on one of the beds in the small room.
Then. He sighed again and laid down. Mayor Humdinger groaned. "I hope I get outta here..."
Ryder was live-streaming on TikTok. "Hi, guys!" Ryder said. "AHHHH!" His neighbor Justin scared him. "AHHHH!" Ryder screamed and kicked him in the leg. "OW!" He laughed while on the floor. Ryder laughed too.
"What's up Justin?!" He smiled as he saw his neighbor. Ryder hugged him. "Bruh! It's been so long!" Justin said. "I know dude!" Ryder said.
They both smiled. Then. Rocky walked in. "Hey! Rocky!" Justin said. "Justin!" He jumped on the ten year old boy and licked him. He laughed. Justin saw the rest of the pups. "Justin!" Chase said as he ran to him.
Justin bent down and pet Chase. "Hey, what's up!" He said. Justin smiled and pet him more. "Hello, Ryder!" Jordan said. She was Justin's mom.
Yarden, (Jordan). had curly brown hair. She was tall and skinny. She wore a grey top that went down to her belly button and short shorts with flats. Her husband, Nathan was with her too.
Nathan was a large guy, he a white shirt, black cargo shorts, Nike sneakers and had a beard.
"Hi, Ryder." He said, fixing his cap. "Hey Nathan, Jordan." He greeted them. "Ryder!" Yarden said. "Hey, it's Jordan!" Marshall said as he ran to them. While he was running he tripped on something and fell right because Nathan's feet.
"I'm okay!" Marshall said. "Guess I had a good trip" the pups laughed. And Justin, Ryder, Nathan, and Yarden all laughed with them. "Oh, man! You're still a goofball, Marshall!" Justin said. Marshall grinned.
"Hey, Justin. Wanna play Pokémon?" Ryder asked. "Yeah!" He ran upstairs. "I'm going too!" Chase said as he ran up with them.
Mayor Humdinger was in the cafeteria with three hundred and thirty-six inmates. He groaned and picked at his food. The food was disgusting.
He wishes he was home with a nice hot meal and his kitties. He wanted to get out of here! Mayor Humdinger decided to eat the food that the prison gave him.
Justin and Ryder were done playing Pokémon and they decided to go outside and play. "Hey, guys!" Ryder greeted the pups. "Hi, Ryder!"
Marshall said, swinging on one of the swings. Skye was swinging on the other. "DO A FLIP!" Marshall said. Skye did one and landed it.
The other pups cheered and howled as their friend smiled. Ryder was sitting on a chair watching them.
He hopes he can take this cast off soon so he could play outside too. Ryder smiled and watched them.
Then, Justin walked up. "Hey man." He said, standing by him. "Hey," Ryder said looking up. "Hi, dude." He smiles. "What's up?" He asked. "I'm okay," Ryder said. "When are your headquarters getting rebuilt?" He asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe in a few months." Ryder said. Unsure about what's happening in the next few months with their HQ.
"Well, when that gets built. Maybe we can do something with my parents In Adventure City." Justin said. "Okay. Sounds awesome!" Ryder said.
Ryder and Justin were now in his mom's car. His mom drove a white Volkswagen with the California license plates on both ends of the car. Ryder had his music on, connected to an iPhone charger as they were driving to the mall. Ryder looked out as he spotted his headquarters.
Flashbacks entered his mind that day. He can see the floor crumbling beneath his and Chase's feet. Then he saw a big piece of rock fall on him. He was lucky to be alive and walking to this day.
But... What if he didn't survive? The PAW Patrol would have to be shut down! Ryder shuttered at the thought as he darted his eyes to his feet so he wouldn't see the mess and the barricades up surrounding the Headquarters.
Once they'd arrive at the mall. They all went inside. Ryder just had to forget about those awful memories
