Part 4
Helping Paw
There was a breach in security at the Hizuri estate, two obsessive women was able to illegally trespass the property and intrude the youngest Hizuri's office. Luckily Lugh's wife who serves as Julianne's secretary noticed them first before they were able to get to Julianne.
With police interrogation they were indeed after Julianne, however with the man's kind soul, he did not press charges and just met with them scolding not to do it again or they will be in serious trouble. Sadly, it was not the only threat that had happened, with the youngest's type of business, there was a threat to his life after few business refusal, he got shot at multiple times, but luckily he was able to evade those gun shots because of his reliable securities.
"You need to add more security." Kuu demanded in fear of his son's life.
"As much as I hate it, I guess now is the best time." He sighed. Only his father and mother knows that he is currently suffering from anxiety and having attacks here and there after those threats.
Julie and Kuu are growing more concern for his health and life whenever he leaves their compound, without so much convincing, the Hizuri estate had guards in combat suits roaming all over their properties. His main body guards became in charge of departments responsible to keep the compounds safe.
"Where are you going?" Kuon asked looking concerned that his might be killed; he watched Julianne wear his ballistic vest under his dress shirt and tuck-in a concealed pistol under his trench coat.
"Lugh and Bell suggested I get some security dogs. And I want to check them myself if they are indeed worth my money." It as just his excuse to go out and at least be secured to a facility.
Kuon doesn't have the heart to stop his brother from leaving, "Just please be careful and be safe?" Kuon sounding really worried.
"I'll be fine." Kuon could not help to hug his brother, thinking it might be the last every time he leaves. "Besides, Rachester and Kuran are on my case. Yukito Asami is helping out too, purging moles in his nether." Julianne sounded confident, however deep inside he was scared.
"Well, just be careful." Kuon hugged him again.
His close friend and former flatmate in college Shurei Kuran is the owner of the biggest custom military vehicle brand, they too are associates that supplied the organization they do business with. As a present as well as concern for him, his good friend sent him multiple and brand new armored kits. Luxury Jeeps as well as SUVs that boarded him are safe and secured.
It wasn't just him that uses the vehicles but rather his whole family, including Kyoko. He hired personal guards to watch his family whenever leaving the house for work.
The drive was actually short and they arrived to a facility where private security trains prized security dogs, he was impressed with all the muscled Pitt-bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman, German-Shepherd and Belgian-Malinois, displaying their obedience after a command, Julianne approved and bought all of them, "What about that one?" He asked pointing at the kennel.
"I'm sorry sir, however... Diesel is not the best security dog, he's quite friendly and doesn't follow commands." Sighed by the handler, looking pitifully at the Cane Corso.
Julianne doesn't looked fazed, "Does he fetch?" He asked the handler.
"Excuse me?" The man just stared at him dumbfounded.
"I asked if he do fetch?" Julianne asked again and the man trying to process it.
"Uh... he does..."
"Good, I'll take him too." The man got his jaw hanging, "By the way how old is he?"
"Diesel is eight months old..."
"Quite young, but it's good, he'll be a perfect roommate, aren't you boy?" The eight month old dog whined and rolled for some belly rubs, "Can you hurry and open the gate for me?" The handler scrambled to open the kennel door and put a temporary leash on the dog. "I will be taking him with me today, and so as the other pooches." He turned to the pack of obedient dogs.
"I got another car, I expect they are good without their carriers?" The handler nodded still shocked at Julianne. "Good, now where is your office so I can settle all these?" Julianne handed out a large sum of money to the owner of the facility after taking all the available security dogs.
"Hajime, can you drop by to a pet store? I would like to get some things for our new recruits." Julianne, secretly excited to shop for the dogs. Aisle- after-aisle he checked all the products, he found some good collars and took the dogs in to choose their own preferred toys, observing the pooches personalities he got them personal collars and had them made personalized with their names.
Even though, they were working and dangerous dogs, its seems he got them to be puppies again. "This would suit you well?" Julianne chuckled and fitted the huge golden Cuban link collar to his new friend. "Ain't you a cutie?" He cooed in whispers giving the dog some belly rubs.
"Lugh, tell Nasa-san to modify the new vests in the size of the dogs, I don't want them getting hurt while patrolling." Julianne ordered and Lugh was more than happy to deliver it to his engineer subordinate.
Safely returning, Julie and Kuu are making eye contact at the energetic eight months old Cane Corso, "Diesel is safe, he's too friendly to be a guard dog." assured by Julianne.
Julie was the first to speak, "Well... he looks cute." When she approached Diesel flopped to his back and asked for more belly rubs, "Yep! Too friendly!" And Julie gave the pooch the needed affection.
Diesel had his ears and tail clipped, Julianne did not approve of such cruelty however it was a usual practice by security dog breeders.
Lugh, Bell and Hajime shared to Kuon and Kyoko the story where Julianne took the 'security dogs' to a pet shop and had them pick out their toys to take home. Kyoko found it really adorable that Julianne even cared for them.
Each dog is being treated as family and in their register, they were given the Hizuri name for any vet appointments.
"Come here boy!" Diesel has become the Hizuri family baby and Kuu loved him to bits. He made his debut under Kuu's update; introducing the dog to his fans. However failed to let them know that Diesel is owned by Julianne.
"Son, I suggest you ask someone to train Diesel to be your support dog." Kuu suggested, "He's got the potential." Petting the giant pooch.
Diesel would whine and squeeze himself to Julianne's side whenever his human starts to get anxiety attacks, Julianne would shortly calm down and breathe evenly without medication because of him.
"I know someone who can train him." Kuu smiled, "I worked with few animals on set and my good friend trained them all."
"Well, I'll trust you with Diesel then?" Julianne agreed, "Though, can they train here?"
"They can, Diesel doesn't need to leave your side." Kuu yet again assured his son, Julianne became attached to the giant dog and would be found curling in his office floor with the pooch.
Within that day, Kuu made arrangements and the trainer dropped by to meet Diesel and Julianne. She too was a fan of Julianne and delighted to work on a dog owned by him.
