~Chase's POV~

"Alright so I guess we should take a look at the killer's file that Vulcan dropped on the table Atlas." I said pointing to said file.

"Very well," Atlas said.

"Hey do you know anyone by the name of Xeno Jones?" I asked Atlas.

"No, never heard of him," responded Atlas

"According to the file, he is our killer of Mr. Jake Smith" I said. "Wait, look at the name of the organization he is known to be affiliated with" I pointed to the bottom of the file

"The Terror Canines? I've never heard of them," Atlas said

"Wait, didn't Vulcan said there was a terrorist organization running around rampant? Well, just the name is a big enough clue to who they are." I said thoughtfully.

At that, Vulcan walked back over. "Got it in one, didn't you? And Atlas listen, I'm sorry if I acted like a jerk to you"

Atlas waved a paw. "If anyone should be apologizing, it's me."

Vulcan looked at Atlas confused "For what?" he asked.

"You had your reasons for wanting to hide this file in the first place. I shouldn't have pushed you like I did. I'm sorry for that," Atlas explained.

"Well, after getting my ass chewed out by both the Mayor and the Chief, I felt I had to give you the file."

I looked at Vulcan. "What do you need, Vulcan?"

"Now you guys must keep quiet about the name of the Organization. None of the other officers are supposed to know about them, but since you guys are soon to be CSIU Agents, you are allowed to know. Listen, I can be bit of an asshole sometimes, but I'm a really nice guy once you get to know me" Vulcan said holding a paw out towards Atlas. "Maybe we can try again?"

Atlas took the paw reluctantly. "You don't have to ask me twice."

Vulcan shook Atlas's paw "I can tell you are going to be a great addition to the team, Atlas." Vulcan said happily "I'll try to keep the assholery to a minimum"

"Deal," said Atlas. "I'll keep it to a minimum as well."

"Now this is what I like to see. Two of my fellow officers getting along" I said wagging my tail.

Atlas looked at me. "Yeah, about that." As he said that, he cheap shotted me in the gut. "That's payback for earlier."

I clenched my gut in pain "Ok ok sheesh. Apparently we can't beat up on the recruit now can we?"

Vulcan was chuckling "Atlas, it's always been a tradition of the Adventure Bay K-9 Unit to beat up on their recruits lightly on their first day"

Atlas sneered. "I guess I'm the first recruit to hit back then, huh? I mean can you blame me, you don't hit a Marine and get away with it."

Vulcan smiled "Yeah we haven't had a recruit that was a Marine ever."

I stepped forward. "It's true. We've had a few Army brats here and there but none of them stuck around for very long."

"Yeah but that was the Army. The Marines are more respected than those in the Army" Vulcan said "Anyways I best be going. I have the rest of the day off. Might go meet up with two potential recruits that I had my eye on. One is a Black Lab named Tom and the other is a CyberWolf like me named Scott" Vulcan said as he waved goodbye to me and Atlas and walked away.

Once he was gone, I looked at Atlas. "Another CyberWolf. That'll be interesting."

Atlas nodded. "Agreed. But as long as they are good at their jobs, I'm fine with them."

I nodded and then pointed to the file "Well what do you say we go find this Xeno guy?"

"Sounds like a plan," Atlas said. "Does this say where a last known location might have been?" Atlas asked curiously.

"Yes all police files always have the last known location of any criminal, but he's considered armed and dangerous" I said with confidence.

"You seem certain that we can catch this guy. Why?" Atlas asked.

"Not really. I'm just saying all police files have to have the last known location. It would give us a foundation to build from" I said

Atlas shrugged. "Seems fair. So where was our guy last seen?"

I looked at the location and then gasped. "City Hall…...no no. NO!" I yelled

Atlas took a step away from me. "Are you sure you can handle this? You seem to emotional for this part of the case."

"I'm sorry Atlas, just seeing the location brought back…..unpleasant memories. I can handle it. But we need to make sure Mayor Ryder is still alive" I said lowering my ears.

Atlas placed a paw on my shoulder. "I think the Mayor is going to be just fine. We'd have been called out to the scene."

"Right we mustn't lose focus on the case. Let's go check out the last known location. See if there are any clues to where he might be" I suggested.

"Sounds good," said Atlas. "Let's get a squad car and get over there."

"Who's driving? Me or you?" I asked as I grabbed the killer's file and walked over to the yard where the squad cars were.

Atlas pointed at me. "You are. I've no idea where the hell anything is in this town," Atlas laughed.

"Alright, get your ass in the car" I said jokingly as I playfully punched Atlas on the arm.

Atlas playfully lunged at me but didn't strike me. "Don't mess with the Marine. He'll kill ya."

"But you wouldn't kill your best friend would you?" I said

"Don't tempt me," threatened Atlas as he got in the car

"Alright sheesh, I can't even joke around with ya" I said as I got in the driver's seat.

"Sorry bro. Boot camp really killed my sense of humor but I'll still joke with you," Atlas said.

"Maybe we can bring that sense of humor back eh?" I asked as I started the car and drove out of the yard. "Feel free to sight see. We might pass by the old Lookout on our way there"

"That's where, what were they called worked…," Atlas stammered

"The PAW Patrol, you are looking at an ex-Patrol member. We disbanded a year ago after the attack on City Hall by the Terror Canines"

"The PAW Patrol," Atlas nodded. "When I was still in the Marines, I heard nothing but good things about you guys. You really changed the way people see dogs in the workplace."

"Yeah, we did, but we were forced to disband because Ryder had to take up the mantle of Mayor for Adventure Bay"

"You were second in command weren't you?" Atlas asked.

"Yeah I was, but even though we could've continued the PAW Patrol, we wouldn't because Ryder always held the team together." I said as I drove to and stopped by the Lookout. "It's been empty for a year now."

Atlas stared at the old building. "It looks like it's seen better days. I'm mean the paint is fading, weeds are sprouting and it looks like it's going to collapse."

"The Mayor hasn't kept it up since he sees no reason to keep it running. In fact, Vulcan is supposed to be taking over that job from Ryder. Keeping up the building I mean. I think he said he needed it for the base of operations for the CSIU or something like that"

"That'll be cool to work there. If it happens, I'm making an entire weapons workshop in there," Atlas said.

"But Vulcan might need to destroy the old building and rebuild it bigger and better." I sighed sadly.

"It's a shame. It really is a beautiful building even if it is unstable," Atlas said.

"You wanna see it from outside the car?" I asked and then I see Vulcan come out from inside the building and he left the doors open as he got in his personal car and drove off but not before I saw the license plate which said "VJAY" "Well that was interesting. Looks like Vulcan is not destroying the building."

"Maybe he is just inspecting it," suggested Atlas.

"Should we find out? He left the door open." I said looking at Atlas

"The smart part of me knows better than to stick my nose into something that I don't necessarily understand but….I'm going in anyway because why not," Atlas said as he hopped out of the car.

I did the same and I walked over to the entrance and instantly could tell that all the tech inside had been upgraded.

"Holy hell," exclaimed Atlas as he stepped inside. "It looks like the Starship Enterprise in here."

"Yeah, this is the latest tech. Hasn't been released to the public yet"

"All I can say is that I regret saying the word unstable. This building is heavily fortified," Atlas stated.

"Yeah, Vulcan must've stabilized the building before replacing all the old tech" I said thoughtfully.

"What were those things sitting around the Lookout?" Atlas asked confusedly

"Defense turrets most likely" I said remembering they were turrets

"Wow, that's crazy. This place is gonna be tighter than Fort Knox once Vulcan's done with it."

"Oh yeah, wait look at the weapons cabinet….NO WAY! LASER WEAPONS?" I screeched happily.

Atlas's eyes opened wide in shock. "What kind of Investigation Unit are we getting ourselves into?"

"It's actually supposed to be a better version of the PAW Patrol. Counter-terrorist group with the front of being a Spy Agency." I said in awe. "I had no idea laser weapons existed."

"I heard something about possible laser technology being incorporated into the military but my superiors threatened me with treason and dishonorable discharge if I did such a thing," Atlas explained. "Until now….shit."

"There's no fucking way he could've gotten his paws on the tech unless he has a friend in the military or a defense contractor." I said shocked..

Atlas walked around looking for something else that looked interesting. "At least he kept these photos on the walls." He grabbed one with a young Shepherd on it. "Awww! Is that you?"

I blushed as I looked at the photo "Yeah it is. You should look at the family photo though." I said as I pointed to the one that had all seven members and Ryder in it.

Atlas replaced my photo with the family photo. "That's the whole team?"

"Yep, Ryder, me, Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Rubble and finally Everest" I said as I pointed to each member

"Besides Ryder and Marshall, where are they all?" Atlas asked curiously. "I hope none of them have, you know," he motioned for the word died but didn't say it out of respect. .

I grabbed the photo that was taken right after we disbanded. "This photo I have in my paws right now was taken right after the Patrol was disbanded and before we left to go do our own thing. Zuma is a lifeguard down at the beach. Skye became a pilot for the airline. Rocky is working as a mechanic at the nearest auto shop. Rubble is working as a construction contractor. And Everest is running the ski resort." I said and handed Atlas the last photo of the eight of us as a team.

"At least you guys are all close to each other and not in separate parts of the country," said Atlas reassuringly.

"Yeah anyways we need to get back to work. We need to get to City Hall"

Atlas nodded and returned to the car without a word.

I did the same and got in the driver's seat and drove away from the Lookout towards City Hall and then that's when we saw the one we were after and then I saw him pull out a M1911 pistol.

"You'll never catch me ya wankers" I heard him said in a slight Australian accent. And he began shooting at the squad car

"That's him! That's the fucker we are after. It's Xeno" I said

Atlas ducked down. "Are you sure it's him?"

"Yeah it's him. Only German Shepherd in town with an Australian accent" I said as I ducked down too.

"Stop the car or else you're going to kill us," ordered Atlas as he pulled his gun out; a glock.

I stopped the car as I pulled out my pistol too and aimed it at Xeno's motorcycle back tire. And fired off a shot popping it.

"AHHHHHHHH! NO YOU BLOODY WANKERS," Xeno yelled as his bike went down an embankment.

"God damn it. AJAX! I need a lift" Xeno called Ajax as he ran away from his bike. "Bloody Cops are after me"

"Stay as far away from them as you can," Ajax told Xeno. "Head to the woods and find the waterfall, we'll pick you up there."

"Understood boss. I'm headed to the woods now mate" Xeno said as he booked it to the woods.

"Dispatch, Target Xeno Jones has been spotted running towards the woods." I said through the radio. "Send immediate back up."

Meanwhile, Atlas was growing frustrated. "Fuck it! I'm going after him."

I watched Atlas take off after Xeno. "ATLAS!" I yelled but he didn't stop. "Dispatch, we have an officer in pursuit."

"10-4 Officer Chase. Permission to chase is granted" Dispatch said.

I started running after Atlas.

"God damn it. Two officers in pursuit. This should slow the bloody wankers down" He activated a trap behind him which was a brick wall.

"ATLAS WATCH OUT FOR THAT WALL!" I yelled.

Atlas didn't hear me as he collided with the wall and fell to the ground dazed. "Leave me," he ordered. "Take him down."

I sighed in defeat and went after Xeno. I pulled my radio out "Atlas I really shouldn't be leaving you but I'm still in pursuit of-" I stopped speaking as Xeno pulled out a tranquilizer dart gun and shot a dart at my neck.

"Good night ya wanker" Xeno said to himself and reached the waterfall. "Lost both officers that were pursuing me and I am waiting at the waterfall mate" Xeno said as he called Ajax.

"Hold out for a little while. We're on our way," Ajax said.

"Alright boss, See ya soon mate" Xeno said as he hung up.

I slowly came to. "God damn it." I said to myself "Atlas, Xeno escaped. He darted me during the pursuit" I said as I pulled out my radio.

"Copy that," Atlas groaned. "Damn, I think I might be concussed."

"I yelled a warning Atlas but that's in the past. Let's get back to the car" I said as I ran to where Atlas was.

"Looks like the officers gave up the chase mate" Xeno called Ajax.

"Just shut up and get in the truck," Ajax grunted.

Xeno nodded and got in the truck.

~Vulcan's POV~

As I drove from the Lookout, I headed to where I knew the Black Lab named Tom lived. I decided that I was going to start building my team slowly but surely. I have two years to have the team fully assembled and trained before the CSIU can even begin its first mission against the Terror Canines. The Hardest part is actually finding the recruits. I already have Marshall joining as well as those officers Chase and Atlas. But the team won't be complete until I get Scott, Tom, Knight, and the other five team members from the Patrol.

I continued driving around town until I came up to a house that looked a little run-down. 'This is where Tom lives? I expected something a little better' I thought to myself as I went up to the door and knocked.
