Chapter 21:

Finally going somewhere

"Where could she be?" Max asked.

"Give her some time." Calvin demanded.

"Give her time? Seriously, It has been three days since she went in there, and we haven't heard from her in a while." Max replied.

"She had to go through something to get the information that she needed." Calvin said.

"What did she have to go through?" Max asked turning towards Calvin. Calvin swore Max's eyes were on fire.

"I don't know." Calvin said. "Sorry." He apologized.

"Well figure it out!" Max barked.

"I can't." Calvin said.

"Why can't you? Can't you see into the future?" Max asked.

"No." Calvin said.

Max ran up to him and knocked him off of his paws. "What do you mean no?" Max growled.

"That's exactly what I meant." Calvin grunted as Kelly helped him off of the ground.

"Are you saying that you don't really know if this will work?" Max asked angrily.

"No." Kelly said.

"Sorry we were only trying to help." Calvin said sadly.

Max started pacing. " You mean to say that my sister is risking her life just because two phony dogs came up with an idea that she thought would work but now you don't know." Max said.

"Please calm down." Kelly said.

"I will not calm down until…" Max started to say but the sound of steel creaking made him turn his head.

"Phoenix?" Max asked.

The door opened more and they saw Phoenix with a smile on her muzzle. "Got what we wanted." She said before collapsing to the ground.
