"I ruined it! I ruined everything!"

This is how a normal night turned out to be one of the worst of Chase's young life. The rain got wet his uniform and even his fur, so as the rest of the street. No cars, no people, just him and the gray cloudy sky.

"Why couldn't I stop myself? Why did I let this feeling get control of my actions?" He said to himself, looking at his face reflected on the little pool that the rain formed in front of his paws.

"Marshall's right. I deserve this." He lowered his head. "He doesn't want to see me, Skye doesn't want to talk with me, Ryder suspended me, and here I am, talking to myself in the middle of the night, ashamed." He kept analyzing the last events and couldn't help but blame himself for it, for every single moment. All of a sudden, he narrowed his eyebrows and slammed the water, blurring his image from it.

"But it is still bothering me! What do they want to hide from me?!" He shouted in anger, letting out a long growl. His mind started to recall the reason why he did all what he did.

This must be a secret until everything is done. Chase can't know it now.

"What must be a secret? Why they want to keep it like that for me? Why can't I know about what?!" He continued slamming the pool with his paw for every question and in the end, with both of his paws, splashing everywhere. He panted heavily, staring at his wet paws with his eyes lost in his thoughts.

"No, this is not even close to be over."

I can't believe this is over!

The young German shepherd smiled as he continued walking by some trees in the forest next to the city, making sure to not be noticed by his friends. After what he has just seen, finally every question he had was answered. Only that kiss was enough to know what is been bothering him these last days.

Already 9 pm in the night, the people of Adventure Bay was starting to drift off to sleep. Mr. Porter closed his restaurant after his last clients leaved the last table. You still could see some citizens walking around, but what really interested Chase were two specific pups walking by the sidewalk in direction to the big bridge. Most because he ad to figure out how to go back to the Lookout without being noticed, but again, the bridge is not the only way back.

Turning off his siren and lights, he drove as fast as he could by the main street, turned to the left and took the beach. Once there, he spotted the side road that Ryder and the pups use when they have missions on the sea. No one saw Chase arriving, no one saw him parking his truck and no one saw him transforming it to his pup house and getting in to take off his Spy Gear.

He popped his head out, turned it to the left and right several times just in case anyone was out there to spot him. Coast is clear! he chuckled slyly as proudly walked outside. But just 3 seconds after he went out, someone touched his shoulder. Chase blinked, making a little jump and letting out a girly scream, quickly covering his face with his paws. The poor shepherd was even shaking a little, but it soon stopped when he heard a voice.

"Uhmm, Chase, it's just me." Recognizing the voice, he uncovered his eyes and gave a quick look to the small cockapoo in front of him.

"Oh, h-hi Skye." He chuckled shyly.

"Where were you? Marshall was asking for you a few hours ago." The mention of the Dalmatian pup made Chase's ears perk in attention.

"Marshall? Asking for me?" He asked.

"Yeah, nobody knew anything of you since you went to Katie's." She continued, staring at him with accusing eyes.

"Oh, well..." Chase tried to think on an excuse, "I-I was, you know, walking ... by the city..."

Skye glared at him for a second. Chase thought she already noticed his lie, but then. "Oh! That explains a lot!" She exclaimed."Yeah, I always go for a walk after a good bath too. But next time you could tell us first."

"You should hear her, Chase." Ryder appeared from the tower's door. "You know the rules. 9 pm, lights off and everyone on their beds."

Chase couldn't help but get nervous seen his leader. "Y-Yes Ryder, it was my fault."

Ryder only smiled. "That's ok, Chase. Now you-" Then, two shadows appeared on the scene."Well, look who just came back from the city."

Chase snickered. "Marshall and Everest? But where were they? It's bed time already!" He laughed for himself on his mind.

"I gave them permission. They were at Mr. Porter's restaurant."

The mention of the food place made Chase's laugh stop in cold. Ryder knows about their... No, it can't be. They wanted to keep it as a secret. He recalled what he saw and heard on the cow's mission.

"Tired, pups?" Ryder giggled seen them almost standing by their own.

"Yeah, Mr. Porter asked if we could stay a little bit more." Marshall started sitting in front of his leader and teammates

"He had to deal with the restaurant and the deliver at 8 on the grocery store, so we helped him with it too." Everest continued, sitting as well next to the Dalmatian.

...Deliver? Help? What?! Chase's mind was trying to process this new information, "What are they talking about?" He asked to Skye.

"Mr. Porter called Ryder for help with a special deliver just a few minutes after you left." She explained. "Ryder sent Marshall and Everest to help because they asked for it, but then they called again and asked if you and me could help too."

"Really...?" Chase continued, totally confused. "Then why didn't you go with them?"

"We couldn't find you for 15 minutes, just then Mr. Porter said that with two pups was ok." She finished with a little smile.

For a police pup, it wasn't hard to choose between empirical information and external sources. I know what I saw, and they were not helping with a deliver at all. He thought as he looked again at his friends.

Despite he knew they were lying, he knew that if he reveals what he saw, his own lie would be discovered too, since he said that he didn't know about them being at Mr. Porter's.

"Good job, pups. You deserve a good night sleep." Ryder gave them thumbs up.

"You bet." Everest mumbled with a yawn, "Good night Ryder, Chase, Marshall..." A particular bright on her eyes appeared when he mentioned the fire pup, who returned the glance without anybody noticing it, except for Chase. He rolled his eyes with a muffled chuckle.

With that, Everest walked to the entrance of the tower. "I'll go with her, we gotta have a girls talk." Skye giggled.

"Just don't stay up too late." Ryder ordered while she started walking to the tower.

"We wont. Good night, Ryder, good night Chase." Ryder waved his hand, but Chase didn't even hear her, he was focusing his attention on his Dalmatian friend, who let out a long yawn.

"I'm really tired, guess I have to go too. Good night everyone." Marshall said, already walking to his pup house.

"Wait Marshall..." Chase tried to say, but he was already out of sight.

Seen that his chance to talk with Marshall would have to wait for the next day, Chase decided to rest after this really stressful day. "I think I'm going to sleep to sir." He faked a yawn. "Good night, Ryd-"

"Hold on there, Chase." Ryder immediately stopped him, making the shepherd stop in cold. There was something strange on his voice, it wasn't like the tone he had before Skye leaved, this was more serious.

Chase gulped. "I-Is something wrong, Sir-?"

"First, I called you for the cow's mission to the Lookout and I needed police pup Chase, but you appeared with your Spy gear. Second, you disappear almost the entire night without telling anyone about where you were going; and third and the worst part is the fact that you tried to lie to me." Ryder incriminated him, taking Chase totally out of guard and leaving him in shock. "At least you take your cruiser and your Spy Gear to walk around the city; I think you lied to us."

Chase couldn't even think clearly, Ryder discovered his lie, it was a matter of time for him to tell Marshall too and his life would be ruined forever.

"I didn't want to confront you in front of the pups about this; I know how important you are for them as the pup on charge, and I know how important they are for you." Ryder continued, kneeling down, watching the ashamed face of his young pup. "What's really going on, Chase?" He asked now with another tone, placing a hand on the top of his head. It wasn't an incriminating tone, it was more of a worried tone, Ryder was worried for him.

This made Chase feel guilty, he knew he could trust on Ryder, but he was ashamed of the reasons that leaded him to spy on his friends, and even what he had to do to know what he wanted to know.

Chase couldn't answer any of his leader's questions, which made Ryder take a deep breath and stand up. "It's pretty late to discuss it now. I won't tell anything to the pups yet, but I'll get to the bottom of this, either you tell me or not. Understood?" He firmly said, crossing his arms and looking at the ashamed shepherd.

"Yes, sir." was the only thing that came out of Chase's mouth.

"Good." Ryder tuned to the tower. "Sleep well, Chase." he waved his hand in the distance until he reached the Lookout's doors.

Only when he saw Ryder entering on the tower, he quickly ran to his pup house and ducked his head on the blankets, trying to process what just happened.

Chase, all the time he's been with Ryder, has never received a talk like this. He has seen Ryder talking with the other pups about bad behavior, like when Zuma pushed Rocky to the mud and all his gray fur got dirty, or when Marshall accidentally broke a glass jar on the kitchen. Ryder scolded both of them for what they did, but he still smiled at them and forgave them.

But Chase never, on his entire life, has been a 'problem pup' like his father would say. Even worse, he LIED to his leader being the pup that Ryder trusted the most. And what for? Marshall's new relationship that they probably were going to reveal by themselves soon or late? This was not worth it at all.

But again, the most Chaste thought about the situation, the most hard it was for him to understand. Why did they lied to go to Mr. Porter's restaurant? Ryder was strict, but he never restricted them to have a date or something. Something else, why was Marshall looking for him earlier? And why ,if they were going out on a romantic date, did they asked Skye to join them?

He rolled on his bed and looked at the roof, trying to thing how to solve this. "That's it!" He silently exclaimed, rushing to the back side of the truck looking for something.

When his pup house transforms to either his police truck or the Spy cruiser, it still shows the special equipment of the transformations, like his winch on a side of the walls, or the spy computer on the left, even his cool high-tech drone... Wait a second... The drone! He realized that his drone was still on the tree next to Mr. Porter's restaurant, with the recording tape of Marshall and Everest's date... on HD.

Oh... this is bad.
