After the show the guys boarded the bus and jumped straight into their bunks. It wasn't until they were just about ready to fall asleep that Bullet began his rampage again.

"What the hell is wrong with that dog!" Logan groaned putting a pillow over his head.

"I thought you fixed him up?" Kendall asked

"I tried but he's become uncontrollable now and I don't know what to do. I cant find anything online that will help." Carlos replied

"Well you better think of something, how are we supposed to get any sleep with him barking up a storm?" Logan asked

"You shouldn't have brought him, Carlos. You cant handle him." James said

"I for one have had enough of him. Either you ship him back home or just get rid of him." Kendall warned

"Shut the fuck up, Bullet!" James said, slamming a shoe against the door. It seemed to work and he quieted down. The other guys followed suit and slipped into a restful slumber until Bullet howled and started up again 2 hours later.

"That's it!" Logan yelled. "Bill, pull over!" he called to the driver.

"No!" Carlos pleaded.

"Carlos we need to sleep and we cant do it with him." James yelled

"You cant just ditch him on the highway!" Carlos fought back

"We weren't planning on it. I need quiet to hear my self think and I cant do it on this bus with your damn dog!" Logan continued. The bus lurched to a stop, throwing the guys off balance a little bit. Bullet too as he growled and was quiet for a little longer. The guys stepped off the bus, relief filling their ears as the quiet of the night soothed their ringing ears.

"A jet plane would be more soothing that Bullet." Kendall mumbled.

"Alright so what are we going to do?" Logan started.

"I just need more time, I don't know what's got into him but I can find out if I just have more time!" Carlos replied

"Carlos you cant even get near him without him going into attack mode!" James leveled

"It was one thing when he was just pushy for attention but now he's turned deadly. You're endangering us all by keeping him on the bus. That cage isn't going to hold him for much longer and neither will that door." Kendall said.

Carlos was at a loss and just sighed. The guys were right and time was running out, he just didn't want to see Bullet put down.

"What if I take him to the vet? Maybe he's just sick or hurt?"

"Fine. Take him to the vet tomorrow as soon as we get into town. If the vet says there is nothing wrong with him, then he is out of here." Logan said.
"Same thing if there is something wrong with him but its not curable." James added.

Carlos agreed and they all boarded the bus again and tried to sleep although not soundly since Bullet kept them up half the night. As soon as they arrived in the town of their show, as promised, Carlos made an emergency appointment with the local vet. He called 3 different places before he found one who could take him. With a little help from Logan, they tied ropes around the cage and dragged it to the stairs. They used a piece of wood as a makeshift ramp and eased the cage down it. Bullet wasn't barking and more focused on trying not to fall. they loaded the cage onto Logan's skateboard and rolled him to the vet's door where he began making a scene again.

The staff were very unsure of this new dog, especially seeing the extreme precautions Logan and Carlos had taken to get the cage here. The senior doctor came out and managed to distract the dog long enough to open the cage door enough and then backed away. He pulled the door open and Bullet didn't even notice as he tried to attack the vet through the door. The vet backed away and locked bullet in a room and waited for him to quiet down. He came back with a control stick and muzzle and opened the door slowly to find Bullet chilling in the corner, chewing up a box of gauze he found on the counter.

Bullet wagged his tail and took a submissive and friendly position as he greeted the vet. The vet slipped the muzzle on Bullet any way and gave him a quick physical check feeling for swelling, lumps, cuts, bruising or heat. All was clear on Bullet so on to different tests. It would take a little bit, so Carlos left bullet at the vet and would get him later after or just before the show. After the show he stopped by to get his dog, ready to face the news of whatever was ailing his buddy.

"Hello Mr. Garcia! We checked over Bullet head to paw, inside and out and we are pleased to say that nothing is physically wrong with him. He is a little overweight so you might want to lay off the snacks. But other than that he's in perfect health!"
"Then its settled. Put him down Carlos." James said from the door

"Put him down or give him up." Kendall said. "The choice is yours but he's not getting back on that bus."

Carlos stared at his friends in disbelief and hurt. The receptionist was also shocked at the sudden choice but couldn't think of anything to say, but it wasn't her place to do so. She watched Carlos and waited for his response. Carlos turned to the desk and then looked to the back room, where he could hear Bullet carrying on, just like before. A tear escaped his eye and he bowed his head, ready to answer with the only choice left.
