CHAPTER 4: RESEARCH
A / N: Once again thank you all for your support.
Meredith and Scarlet had arrived at the airport.
"Hello, I know that you have a plane in sale" said Meredith to a female employee.
"Yes Miss, is a luxury jet 15 meters long and can carry a total of 8 people" said the official, pointing to a white plane stopped on the track.
"Well I would buy it" Meredith took the checkbook.
"Very good, but first you have to talk to the administrator of the company to close the deal, I'll call him"
"Thank you, George, can you bring the pup to the jet and check his condition?" asked Meredith to her driver.
"Certainly Miss"
George took Chase and led him into the plane.
"Scarlet, go with him, a deal is very boring" said Meredith.
"Okay, I want to see if this plane is so luxurious as they say"
While George and Scarlet climbed on the plane came a man with a very elegant dress.
"Hello, I'm Mr. Callham, director of the company"
Meredith shook his hand.
"I understand that you want to buy that plane" said the man.
"Exactly" said Meredith.
"You made a good choice, that's one of the best aircraft we have, one of the most beautiful, one of the fastest, one ..." Mr. Callham was interrupted
"Of course, how much it costs?" asked Meredith impatiently.
Mr. Callham smiled. "11 millions dollars" he said.
Meredith looked at her checkbook. "Okay, and the whole company?" asked Meredith.
Mr. Callham frowned and looked at her as if she was crazy, Meredith simply smiled.
Meanwhile Scarlet climbed the stairs and entered in the jet. There was a bar, a large sofa for three people, five comfortable armchairs, a bathroom with Italian marble, two televisions, a large table with china plates and crystal glasses and obviously the pilot's cabin.
"Not bad" said Scarlet climbing on the sofa.
George put Chase next to Scarlet. "How is he?" she asked.
"Not well, he lost consciousness, he should be without energy. For the moment let him sleep" then George went to the cockpit.
"When did you learn to fly a plane?" asked Scarlet.
"For Miss Meredith I would do anything, that's why she hired me" said George.
"Luckily, by the way Meredith would not know how to do without you, I mean ... we would not know what to do without you" said Scarlet. George smiled.
After a few minutes came Meredith. "Well, now we can go, George bring us to Washington" said Meredith.
"Yes Miss" George started the engine and after a few seconds the plane began to fly.
Meredith sat down on one of the armchairs and began to read a magazine.
"So, how much did you pay the plane?" asked Scarlet.
"I didn't buy it" said Meredith.
Scarlet was confused. "No? So ... did you rented it?"
"I bought the entire airline company" said Meredith smiling.
"You ... did you buy the airline company?" asked Scarlet shocked.
"What's wrong?" asked Meredith.
"Uhm nothing, it seems a bit too much" said Scarlet.
"I thought it was more practical, so if a plane breaks we can use another without problems"
Scarlet started to laugh. "Meredith, you will never change"
Meanwhile at the Lake Ryder and the pups were still trying Chase. Zuma was combing the banks of the lake, Skye controlled the situation with her helicopter , Rubble and Rocky tried in the forest, Everest, Marshall and Ryder were controlling the land near the river. Jake and Katie instead were talking with police and mountain rescue, was needed all the help possible to find Chase.
"Where did he go? Where did he go?"
Marshall was extremely worried, the Dalmatian running fast in the forest in a desperate attempt to see his friend.
"Marshall wait!" said Everest.
Marshall stopped and turned around, Ryder and Everest were out of breath and couldn't keep up with him.
"You should go a bit slower, we can't risk losing you, too" said Everest.
Marshall rolled his eyes. "This is not a walk, Chase has disappeared and we have no idea where he might be" shouted Marshall.
Everest was very surprised, since she came in the team she had never seen Marshall angry.
Ryder frowned. "Marshall, trying to stay calm, we'll find him, don't worry, but now we can't continue the search, it will be dark soon and we must return to the lookout" said Ryder
"Don't worry? All you can say is don't worry?! Chase and I have been friends forever, and now he's nowhere to be found, and you're telling me that we have to stop the research! You're telling me that we have to surrender!" shouted Marshall with all his voice.
"Chase wouldn't abandon me if I were in his place, he would continue to look to the ends of the world. I'll try all day and all night because I ... I can't live without him!"
When Marshall realized what he had said began to blush. "I mean ... the Paw Patrol ... the Paw Paw can't live without him" Marshall whispered, lowering his head.
Ryder came up and stroked his forehead. "I know that Chase is very important to you, he is for all of us. But losing your temper will not help us in this situation. Katie and Jake talked to the police, they will occupy their search overnight. But now we have to go home, there's nothing we can do here"
Marshall sighed, "I'm sorry Ryder, you go. I'll arrive soon"
Ryder smiled slightly "Come on Everest"
Everest and Ryder walked away.
Marshall looked at the sky, you could see the first stars. "Where are you friend?"
Chase opened his eyes slowly. His view was blurry and it took several seconds before he could see clearly. "Where am I?"
The German shepherd looked around, he was above a large bed, covered with green and blue pillows. The room had white walls, with big windows overlooking a large garden. On one side of the room there was a large marble fireplace.
"What is this place?" Chase was confused, until he heard a voice.
"Well, hello sleepyhead"
By the door of the room came a female German shepherd. Chase stood up and began to growl
"Relax, I'm a friend" said the pup climbing on the bed and sitting in front of Chase
"Who are you? What is this place?" asked Chase.
"My name is Scarlet. And this is my home. I mean, me and my owner, although we have many homes here in the United States. Maybe we can know each other better, what's your name?" asked Scarlet approaching him and slamming her lashes.
Chase began to retreat. "I'm Chase" he replied shyly.
"Well Chase, I'm happy to meet you, you don't often find a attractive pup like you" said Scarlet.
Chase felt very uncomfortable. Sure, Scarlet was very beautiful, perhaps even more beautiful that Skye. But at that moment Chase had only one thing in mind, Marshall, and that was strange. He had fallen into a river, he didn't know where he was, he was in a strange house with unknown people and the first thing he thought was Marshall.
Why at a time like this I'm thinking about Marshall?
"Hey, are you okay?" asked Scarlet, waving a paw in front of his face.
Chase blinked. "Sorry, I was thinking ... it doesn't matter. Where are we?" asked Chase.
"Where are we? We are in the great capital of the United States of America, Washington" said Scarlet
"WASHINGTON?!" Chase lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
Scarlet looked at him casually and sighed "Tourists"
