Oh look, it's me. Here comes the interesting part :D

PAW Patrol, to the Lookout! the pup tag of all the PAW Patrol pups sounded.

Most of them were on the beach enjoying the great weather when the call came through. Rubble was finishing his sand rig when it sounded, Marshall was sleeping while Everest stared at the horizon under the umbrella and Zuma and Skye were talking. Well, actually it was just Skye trying to give reasons to Zuma why not to do what he suggested. Luckily for her they heard the call and had to head to the Lookout.

"Ryder needs us!" they all exclaimed, except for one pup.

"Not a mission again, not now!" Chase said in frustration. His missing drone was even more lost than before, but worse was the possibility that someone could have taken it and seen what was on the memory. One thing at the time, now all the pups were being called by Ryder, so they had to rush over to the Lookout. And so, Chase leaped in to his cruiser and drove across the bridge, wondering what this mission would be about. The only thing he wished was that it didn't involve his drone, or in the best case, not involving him at all.

Maybe he was asking too much.

The minutes passed and they all reached at the elevator with only Chase left. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't see the chew toy in front that made him trip into all the other pups, making a pup pile in which he was on the top. From the bottom, Marshall's head popped between Zuma and Rubble.

"Hey, so this is how it feels to be under everyone!" He joked, making all around laugh, except for the Shepherd, who remained silent all the way to the top.

They did their own thing, and positioned in front of the big screen as always. "PAW Patrol ready for action. Ryder, sir!"

"Sorry for interrupting your beach day, pups." The boy apologized. "Mayor Goodway reported that an eagle stole her purse and saw it heading to its nest in the west mountain and we have to get it back for her." he finished, tapping on his pup pad.

"Skye, I need you to track the eagle with your helicopter and goggles." Ryder ordered.

"Ruff! This pup's gotta fly!" Skye happily flipped, before actually realizing what all this meant. "... fly near an eagle, but gotta fly anyways."

Chase was feeling more and more nervous. If they had Skye to track the purse from the air they would maybe need someone to recover it, like Marshall and his ladder. His hypothesis was wrong though, and he realized when he saw that he was still on his Super Spy Gear.

Oh, dog biscuits.

"And... Spy Chase." Ryder finally revealed. "I need you and your drone to help track the purse. The eagle might drop it on the way to its nest. We'll use your special glasses and drone to track it through the woods."

"M-Me?!" Chase whined in panic, taking everyone by surprise.

"Is there any problem, Chase?" the boy asked, sounding worried.

"No! Not at all!" Chase responded really nervous. If he had come up with an excuse, he would have to tell even more lies and find a way to connect and explain later, which would be more problems. This was easier and faster. "Eh, Super spy Chase is on the case..."

Ryder was suspicious that something was wrong, but he would have to find out later. The city and the Mayor finances the team's equipment after all. "Well... PAW Patrol is on a roll!"

Ryder and the assigned pups, Chase and Skye, were driving in direction to the west forest, where it is known that the eagle has its nest, and where it was possible that this animal had flew away with the Mayor's purse. The way was filled with pines and rocks all over. Ryder was worried that they couldn't go through the forest with their vehicles. If the eagle makes it to its nest Skye would have to get it, but if it drops it in the forest it would be harder to search, that's why the drone was ideal for that case.

Ryder pressed his pup pad. "Skye, can you see the eagle?"

"Right in front of me." the pup responded.

"Try to get close, but not too much. If we scare her, she might drop the purse."

"Roger that!" Skye cut the communication. Ryder directed his view to Chase and noticed him being quite distracted. In a normal case he would ask him if he was ok, but after the incident the last day things were odd between them, so he kept it all professional for the moment.

"Chase, follow Skye as close as you can."ordered the boy.

"On it!"

Chase in his head was praying that the eagle wouldn't drop the purse, or else he would have to explain why is his drone missing. No, if that happens it would be the end. He would have to avoid those questions at all cost, but then Skye came in.

"Ryder, it dropped it!"

Are you kidding me?!

"I see it! It's falling on the forest. Pull over, Chase!" Ryder ordered, parking his ATV to a side. "We can't get in with our vehicles. Bark out your drone, Chase."

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?!

"W-Wait!" he exclaimed in panic.

Ryder looked confused, but serious. "What's the matter? Deploy your drone."

Now the German Shepherd had to come up with something quick, but his nervousness was getting noticeable for the young leader, who looked kind of stressed and annoyed. "N-No, I mean, did you hear that?"

"What is it?"

"I think I heard the purse landing!" Chase said, but before Ryder could reply, the Spy pup had already leaped out of his cruiser, heading towards the pine forest.

"Wait Chase!" the boy yelled, but seen that he didn't stop, just limited to say some final orders."Don't go too deep in the forest! Or we won't be able to contact you!" And as soon as he said this, Chase dissapeared in the woods.

Ryder looked a bit worried at the forest, and quite confused. He directed his view to the Spy cruiser and slowly walked towards it.

"Spy Drone, deploy!" He commanded. The launcher appeared above the vehicle with a metallic sound and the trigger actuated the device. But the drone wasn't there.

"Where's the drone?" The boy moved to the drone screen to see if it had image of the place it was, but the camera was turned off, probably because it had no battery left. Ryder had one thing clear, Chase was hiding something, and he was going to find out what it was.

After this little scene Chase stopped near some bushes.

That was a close one. He can't find out where the drone is. He said in his head. Hm, at least I should try and look for the purse.

And so, Chase started sniffling around the place, but didn't catch any scent at first. Actually, he couldn't smell any known smell but the one coming from the nature.

Damn, for how long I've been walking?

"Ryder! Come in!" he barked out his pup tag. His collar bipped, but he only heard static after it.

"This is not good."

After fifteen minutes with no news of Chase, Ryder and Skye tried to contact the spy pup, but just as him their devices couldn't reach any signal.

"Can you see him, Skye?" called the leader to the pup in the helicopter.

"Still nothing, Ryder. Have you tried to call him again?"

"It's useless, I lost his signal. I can't even see his location in the pup pad." said the worried boy. Even if Skye could actually spot Chase through all the trees, there was no way to contact him. The helicopter would not be able to land, and Skye's wings were too big, she could get trapped if she tries to get close. Ryder would have to look for another options.

"I know!"

Meanwhile, in the Lookout, Everest was on the beanbags with certain fire pup sleeping next to her.

"Everest, come in!" the Husky pup's tag lit up, but she muffled the sound with her paws.

"I'm here Ryder, what do you need?" she said as low as she could.

"Chase went too deep in the west forest and we can't contact him. We need you to find him and bring him back."

"Off the trail, Everest won't fail!"

"Wait, why are you whispering?"

She giggled. "It's nothing, I'm on my way!"

Two hours had passed, and Chase was still trying to find a way back to the road, but instead he went way deeper and ended up really lost. Every tree looked the same, every bush, and everything smelled the same. It was getting dark, he almost couldn't see the bright of the sun anymore. He was not afraid of the creatures, but no one has ever been this deep, so there would be some unknown animals living there, like bears or something.

I feel like I've been walking in circles this whole time thought the Shepherd, his nose in the ground trying to catch a scent. Wait a second... Isn't this...Chickaletta? The smell of the purse chicken got caught by the pup, who hurried in his step and barked out his light.

The spy pup raised his head to detect where the smell was coming from, and right between two trees, cushioned by a bush, was the purse.

Yes!

Immediately he rushed over and grabbed the purse in his teeth.

Now to go back to- "Achoo!" The Shepherd sneezed, making the purse land next to a tree. Meanwhile Chase saw a chicken feather land on top of his nose, making sneeze again.

That woman needs to clean this thing... He thought, shaking his head and directing to the purse again. That was before the bushes behind started to make sounds.

At first he thought it was the wind, but now he could see the shape of a creature of his tall crawling closer. Chase took some steps back. He could use his light to see what it was, but he didn't know how the creature would react, and he wouldn't be able to bark out his net before being spotted.

The spy pup was running out of options, that thing was getting closer, "Whoever you are, I'm not scared! I have a... uh, a net! A-And I'm not afraid of using it!"

So frightening.

When whatever was making that sound was about to come out, he took the chance and fired his tool, which got it trapped.

Hey, I got it!

"I'm used to say hi before shooting anyone, but it's fine." a voice stopped the spy pup. A familiar voice. He pointed the light and saw a Husky pup in teal colored vests. Well, he knows her better as Everest.

"Everest! Holy crap, you scared me." said Chase before barking out his net, getting her free. "What are you doing here?"

"Ryder called me to get you out of here." replied Everest. "Did you find the purse?"

"Yeah, it's over there." he pointed out. "But I can't get close without sneezing."

"I'll take it with me, but we better get going." she said, grabbing the purse in her teeth and hanging it from her pup pack. "We'll met with Ryder and Skye once we got out, he told me he has to talk with you." the Husky said, and Chase followed her lead through the woods.

Ryder wants to talk with me...? Now this was frightening. It could be possible that he wants to talk about him running to a forest without permission, or about him disobeying the order of barking out his drone. Knowing Ryder, if it was the second option...

He must have checked on my cruiser when I left... he looked down.

It's over.

"We're getting close, Chase." said the snow pup.

It has been only fifteen minutes. She really knows this forest like the back of her paw... thought Chase, with mixed feelings about being almost with Ryder and Skye, but he knew that he was safe for the moment, because Ryder couldn't see what is in the memory of the drone, actually nobody could, it's lost. But saying he was 'safe' was being way too positive, because not having the drone had its own complications, and of course it would be weird that the always so responsible police pup Chase lost something so important.

Don't remind me that I have to look for the drone after it... he thought, Guess there's no way to avoid being scolded, but I still can't understand! There was absolutely no way that the drone got free and flew away by its own. Maybe Mr. Porter could have got it down, but he would have called us to notify, so we could get it back. No, someone else took it, someone that doesn't want to give it back...

"Uh, are you ok?" asked Everest, seeing that the Shepherd wasn't answering.

"Uh? Oh, yeah, yeah." answered Chase.

All because of them... Chase gave her a look when she wasn't looking anymore. At least let me have fun with it.

Some minutes later they found an old trail, where Everest told Chase that they only had to follow this way and they would be out in no time. As they walked together the Shepherd teased her.

"So... you and Marshall, eh?"

The Husky pup blinked twice before stopping and staring at him in shock with a bright red blush in her face. "W-W-What?! What are you talking about? D-Did he tell you something?!" she stuttered.

Who would have thought? Just as shy as Marshall. "No need to. I saw the way you looked at each other in the morning." he snickered.

"Oh, was that obvious?" she looked down, giving up and showing a small smile, her eyes sparkling. "Well, yeah. Yesterday coming back from Mr. Porter's we... we got together." she confessed, starting to walk again, with the Shepherd following her.

Confirmed.

"Are you guys planning on telling Ryder or the pups?" he continued.

"We hadn't talked about it yet. I mean, it's been like 24 hours only, it's not like we have wedding plans already." answered Everest, thinking of what she just said.

"...yet."

"Excuse me?"

"N-Nothing!"

She didn't seem to be avoiding questions, and Chase still had some. "Yeah, but for how long have you been together? Months?"

She looked confused. "What are you talking about? We got together yesterday!"

Chase rolled his eyes. "Please, I heard you and Marshall's conversation through the phone that day. If you say 'I love you' to each other you sure have been dating for a long time." he snapped as he kept walking, but after a couple of seconds he noticed that Everest wasn't moving anymore.

"'I love you'?" she raised an eyebrow.

This was getting strange. She just admitted that they are a couple now, why she was acting like this? "W-Why you look so confused?" asked Chase.

Everest slowly walked towards the spy pup. "When was that phone call, Chase?"

"Uh? Two days ago. Marshall called you to invite you to stay for a couple of weeks, right?"

That was when her eyes almost pop out of her face.

"T-That wasn't me on the phone, Chase..."

"W-What...?"
