A/N: Ok first thing I want say is sorry for the confusion over the McDonalds bit at the end. They didn't go into the restaurant. They went around the back or the side and got unused burgers from the dumpster. Like how Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino did in the movie. And the playground where the slide is outside as well so let's just say no one else was in the playground area when Copper and Danielle went to go on the slide. Ok on to new ideas. Mia is a very angry parent recently and who can blame her? Knox and Mira are at the animal shelter, Bolt and friends are on route to get them, and Penny and Michael are still having fun at the water park. Remember only at the most six hours have pasted since the binning of this story. Those two should be finishing there soon though. I'm currently wondering if I should give Bolt a tank and the ability to operate one. Then I think I a.k.a. Michael meddle just a little too much in the story so I'll lay off on the tank for now. Maybe a regular pickup truck that they can all climb on the back of and continue there way to the pups. Ya I'll go with that. Enjoy! Alright everyone in positions. Camera rolling, lights on, and we are a go in 3, 2, 1 action.

Chapter 10

After everyone had finished eating their fill Bolt stood up and said that break time was over. "Alright guys that's enough of a break. We have to get back to the road while Knox and Mira's scent is still fresh and before the little wind that's around blows their fur away." Bolt reminded his team. "It's not that I want to hold up on the search but my paws are still hurting me. How about anyone else?" Danielle asked. Half the group was also honest about it and nodded their heads in confirmation. "Just hang back here a few seconds while I scope out the area." Bolt said getting into his stealth mode. "While you what?" Hunter said. "Scope out the area. Ya know, umm, look around and see what's happening." Bolt said. "Oh, ok." Hunter said. Bolt began to look around the surrounding area for something they could use to aide them. Then he saw a currently unoccupied pickup truck in a parking space at McDonalds. The owner must be inside eating Bolt thought. "If I can get everyone in the back of the pickup truck and under some cover then we could all hitch a ride to wherever the pups are and get to them all the sooner. I have to act fast and tell the gang." Bolt said to himself and raced back to where they were waiting for him.

"Any luck Bolt?" Mittens asked. "What are you saying? Of course he's found something. He's Bolt…" Rhino began his rant and Bolt hushed him since he was still inside his ball and he couldn't stop him with his paw. Luckily for Bolt, Rhino listens to him without question and stopped. The others looked confused at what just happened but put it aside for now since there were more pressing matters to attend to. "So what did you find?" Mia asked. "I found a currently unoccupied pickup truck that we could all hop into and catch a ride. That way we won't have to walk." Bolt answered. "That's great Bolt. This will help us significantly." Mia thanked him. "Sure thing Mia. Now we have to hurry and get in. The driver should be coming back out any minute." Bolt suggested. "Ya they don't call it fast food just because of how fast it goes through you." Copper joked and everyone looked sideways at him while walking to the truck. "Your gonna say that after we all just ate food from here?" Hunter asked him. "Well it's true. I just wanted to lighten the mood." Copper said. "Cops you are lightening the mood but Hunter is going through a lot right now so give him some slack if he doesn't act the kindest towards you. He has only known you for a short time. He needs time to get more acquainted with you first. Ok?" Danielle tried to explain things to her…to Copper. Did I just call Copper Cops? Oh no I did. I don't even know why I did. It just came out like its been what I've been calling him for years. Did he notice it? Danielle thought. "Thanks Danielle I understand now. By the way I think I like my new nickname." Copper said and Danielle realized he did hear her.

"Ok this is the truck. Everyone all aboard." Bolt said and one by one each dog jumped onto the truck, then Mittens, and finally Bolt grabbed Rhino's ball with his teeth and jumped onto the truck. Inside they found a tarp they could use to hide under when the driver came back out. Each dog and Mittens took a section of the tarp and went to the sides of the truck bed and pushed the tarp down on the side of the truck bed until they each heard a click sound signaling that the tarp was clamped on. Now they were completely hidden under the tarp but it was also pretty dark. "I don't like it under here. It's too dark." Mia complained. "We only have to stay under here until we get onto the road then we can take this off so we can see things and keep sniffing for the pups. I know if we stay under here then we wouldn't be able to get off at a moments notice or be able to sniff for the pups. If we haven't caught up to them by now then they must have been captured and taken in some kind of vehicle. This is the best solution available." Bolt explained. "I get you Bolt. Now where is this driver?" Mia complained again becoming irritated. "Were the ones hitching a ride from this guy without his knowledge and your complaining about him because he's late to his own somewhat of a hijacking?" Copper asked making sure he heard right. "Don't push me Copper. I'm in no state of mind right now to be arguing with." Mia warned and Danielle stopped Copper from saying anything else with a kiss.

Danielle stopped herself after a few moments after realizing what she was doing. She cursed a few times to herself for what she did. I'm becoming so impulsive lately. It all started after I met Copper but do I really already like him? I've only known him since earlier today. What do I do now? He's probably still in shock over what I just did. I can't blame him. What I did was probably completely unexpected. I have to say something to him. "Copper I…" Danielle got no farther before they all heard an approaching figure. The figure walked up to the driver's front door of the truck and got in. The driver put the keys into the ignition, backed up out of the parking spot, and started driving down the road and towards the pups.

After a minute Bolt told them that they could remove the tarp and so they did. After it was off everyone looked out at the scenery rolling by. "Our owners sure did pick a great part of the country to settle down in." Bolt said. Everyone agreed and continued to admirer the scenery. "Remember everyone to both look and sniff out for my kids. We didn't come out here to look at the scenery. We came out here to get my kids back." Mia reminded everyone. "Right so everyone keep your eyes open, your ears up, and your nose in the air. We have to find Knox and Mira right away." Hunter agreed with his mate. I wonder how their both doing and if they are both alright? Hunter thought.

(The Animal Shelter)

Knox and Mira had been napping for a short time now and began to stir. Knox was the first to fully awaken and looked out from the cage he was in to the outside. He could see many other cages in long rows and stacked on top of each other. About half of them were filled with other dogs and Knox tried to talk to one of them. "Um excuse me mister. Could you tell me where I am?" Knox asked a middle aged Doberman who just scuffed at him and turned around in his cage. Another dog who must have been in the cage next to his spoke to him. "Don't mind him kid. He's just not a very sociable dog. What's your name if you don't mind me asking?" The friendly dog asked. "My name is Knox. What's yours?" Knox asked. "Mine's Buddy. So didn't you say that you wanted to know where you were?" Buddy asked. "Uh ya. I did. Could you please tell me?" Knox asked. "Well I'm sorry to tell you this but you've been taken to the local animal shelter. Otherwise known as the pound." Answered Buddy. "Thanks." Knox said. "Bro who are you talking too?" Mira asked now fully awake. "I'm talking to Buddy. He's in the next cage over from ours. Right Buddy?" Knox called. "Ya I'm still here. So who's over there with you?" Buddy asked. "My sister Mira. Mira say hi to Buddy." Knox answered Buddy and then instructed Mira. "Hi Buddy. I'm Mira." Mira introduced herself. "Nice to meet you, so to say. We haven't actually met yet. So do you two have a home and family?" Buddy asked them. "Yes we have a great home and parents." Knox answered. "So your not strays?" Buddy asked. "No." Knox said. "Then how come you're in here? If you have a home shouldn't you have collars on?" Buddy asked confused. "We didn't have our collars on when all this happened." Knox answered. "Do your owners and parents know that you have been taken by animal control?" Buddy asked them. "Were not completely sure. See me and my sister snuck out of the house and began chasing each other outside. Soon we were really far from our home and couldn't find our way back. Then animal control found us and brought us here." Knox confessed what happened. "I see. Do you and your sister often sneak out of the house and away from your parents without first telling them where you are going?" Buddy asked them. "We also snuck away earlier time today too." Mira said. "Twice in one day. Your parents must be very scared and worried right now." Buddy told them.

"Mom and Dad worried? Why should they be worried? Me and my sister are the ones who are going to be in big trouble when they find us." Knox said confused. "Your parents are worried because they don't know where you are and don't know if your safe or not. Think about it if the roles were reversed. If your parents left without telling you how would you feel?" Buddy asked them. "I guess I'd be worried about them and want to know where they were." Knox said. "And that's what your parents are feeling right now. Their scared for you because you two for all they know could be hurt and they feel responsible for you both. As your parents they are the ones who are supposed to keep you both safe." Buddy explained further. "I never thought about it like that. I want to get to tell them that I understand now and that I'm sorry for what I have put them through. How about you Mira?" Knox asked his sister. "Ya what you said bro. I hope mommy and daddy come get us soon." Mira said and went to her brother for comfort. "I know Mira. I do too." Knox said trying to comfort his sister.

(Bolt and friends)

The drive had been uneventful besides constantly smelling the air to make sure they were still on the trail of Knox and Mira's scent and checking to see a tuff of hair every now and again. Copper had only been half paying attention because he was thinking about what happened under the tarp while no one else could see us. Danielle had kissed me. She kissed me and I couldn't say a thing. I wonder what she is thinking about it? Does she now regret it? Did I like that it happened? Do I want it to happen again? I have to talk to her when we get a few minutes. Copper thought. The scent was very close now. Everyone was getting prepared to jump off the truck when it began to slow down some. At a curve in the road where the speed dropped everyone jumped off the truck and landed without any injuries. In front of them was the animal shelter a.k.a. the pound where they knew from the scents that Knox and Mira had to be inside. "Ok now we can't just go barging in there. Were only animals. The humans won't know what were here for. We would just end up getting caged too. We need a plan and Mittens I think that you could be the most important part of it." Bolt said. "Me?" Mittens asked in shock.

A/N: "Did everyone enjoy? I got it done tonight instead of doing it tomorrow. I had to stop it here because I don't want to get into the plan for the rescue and then have to stop. Next week I'll write that part. I imported another important and famous canine into my story. Buddy otherwise known as Air-Bud has made a nice addition into my story. Valentine's Day is coming up this Tuesday. And then President's Day the Monday after that. I'll get to update again before President's Day. So much happened this chapter. Including Danielle kissing Copper. This story is rocking and it will hopefully only get better. Farewell for now my loyal reviewers and readers. And goodbye to any new readers of my story. Don't be shy to review my story new guys. I don't bite but my coworkers might.
