Author's Notes: Christ! The grammar and proofreading mistakes that were in this chapter were f'ing pathetic! I reread it and clean it up. This should be actually readable

"You will be gone for few a days. So grab anything you will need, food and water will be supplied." The Khao Manee explained as she Michael, and the Jack Russell walked to Michael's house. The Khao Manee was leading the way. They were going a different way than what Michael normally takes. They walked into an alley. Michael knew this was bad. Without warning the Jack Russell grabbed Michael slamming him against the wall so his chest was against the wall. "We know you are housing a dog." The Khao Manee spat.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Michael yelled trying not to fall to his knees due to the impact to the wall.

"You know lying to a naval officer is a high crime, housing a dog and lying about it is even higher! You're looking at life in prison right now!"

"Officers attacking me on false accusations and without any proof. You should be the ones with life in prison!"

"Did you know the dog was pregnant?" the Jack Russell said causing Michael to freeze. "The scent of dog was very strong.

"That explains all the noise now." The Khao Manee said.

"Even IF I were having sex with a dog, she couldn't get pregnant from me!" Michael spat. The same black cat from earlier came running up to the group.

"I found the secret area where she was hidden. The scent was strong in the air, but she was nowhere to be seen, neither of them. We are scanning the area as we speak." He reported.

"What?"

"It seems your lover was hiding a child from you." The Khao Manee mocked. "How old did you say she was Alex?"

"At least four."

"Cats and dogs can't breed! There is your proof! I didn't know I had to dogs living in my house!" Michael said.

"Alex let him go." The Khao Manee said. The Jack Russell, who Michael just learned was named Alex, let him go.

"I will sue you for this! You fucken hear me!" Michael spat.

"You had living in your home; you have no grounds to come attack us."

"But I was unaware!"

"You think a judge and a jury will believe you?" the Khao Manee pointed out. "You should be thankful we let you go." She said as the two cats and Alex left, leaving Michael alone. He walked home. He saw a crowd moving towards the center of town. He decided it was best to blend in and go with them. The crowd arrived at the center of town. On the wooden stage stood five cats and a dog with black hood over its head and wrapped in a cloth hiding the chains underneath. An orange cat had his hand on the dog's shoulder. Everyone turned as the Khao Manee appeared with Alex behind her. They both walked onto the stage. Michael moved through the crowd to get closer.

"I underestimated you Private" the Khao Manee praised the orange cat.

"Does that mean, I can take you to dinner?" he bit his tongue after saying it.

"Why is there a dog in a uniform?" Michael heard someone in the crowd ask.

"He used to be Commodore Lucy's slave." He heard another say.

"I heard he is still" Michael heard yet another say.

"No, she convinced the Navy to allow her slave to join, as long as he served under her."

"He is wearing a caption's uniform!"

"He is only allowed to order those under Commodore Lucy's command."

"No, he can only order those beneath him that serve on her ship"

"That's what I meant!"

"On her ship, the commodore is the only one above him." The crowd grew quiet as Lucy began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before you is an illegal dog." She stated. The crowd grew angry say insults about the dog. "Quiet down please." The crowd quieted down. "This dog is not only illegal but gave birth to another dog." The crowd was in shock, some whispered among themselves. Lucy signaled to Alex. Alex removed the hood from the dog's head. The crowd was in shock to see a Great Dane; they were rare only owned by the richest of owners. They were more shocked to see the black eye and blood dripping from its mouth. Lucy glared at the orange cat. He looked surprise. Lucy looked at Alex. Alex grabbed the orange cat by the neck. The crowd went into uproar. Lucy ignored them as she walked up to Alex and the orange cat. "Private Paulo, you were ordered to capture the dog! Nothing more! Let him go and get him out of my site!" she ordered. Alex dropped Paulo. Two naval officers secured Paulo dragging him off the stage. The crowd grew to more uproar. "They wouldn't be satisfied until more is done."

"What are you suggesting Commodore?"

"They may want to see more dog blood spilled."

"Your orders?"

"I spoke with the admiral on this matter, she is a Great Dane. Unfortunately that makes her special as far as the admiral is concerned."

"I see."

"Hold her!" Lucy said walking away. Alex grabbed the Great Dane forcing her to keep her legs apart and bracing her legs. Lucy took off her gloves handing them to the black cat. She walked back over took a deep breath and socked the Great Dane in the stomach. Alex made sure the dog keep her stance as Lucy socked her once more, but this time in the jaw. Lucy walked back over the black cat who handed her gloves after she wiped her hands. "Charles, the doctor confirmed, for certain she was not pregnant?" Lucy whispered.

"Yes, we had two doctors confirm."

"Well then as far as the public shows, they just watched a naval officer kill an unborn dog." She said walked off the stage.

"Commodore!"

"As far as the navy is concerned, I just punched a non-pregnant dog." She said without turning around. Alex let the Great Dane fall to her knees. He walked off stage following Lucy. Charles signal for two dogs to secure the Great Dane and prepare to take her back to the naval prison. The Great Dane looked up slightly. She met eyes with her lover. Michael wanted grab her off the stage and run her out of here, but they both knew it would be hopeless. Michael turned walking back through the crowd. Now he needed to find his lover's child.
