Zuma jumped up onto his paws after sliding into the burning building. The entire building was falling apart. He knew he didn't have much time. He needed to find Chase fast!

"Zuma! What are you doing?!" Zuma cringed his ears after hearing Skye scream that through his pup-tag. "I gotta find Chase baby." He relplied as calmly as possible. "No Zuma! Its too dangerous!" she screamed again. Zuma knew how worried she must've been.

"Don't worry my sexy. Im totally fi-" but Zuma didn't get to finish as a large burning plank fell from above. Zuma rolled out of the way just in time for the plank to miss him. "What was that?!" he heard Skye shout through his pup-tag. "Uhhhhh…My stomach." Zuma answered as he made his way over to the stairs.

"Zuma its too dangerous. Please come out!" Skye pleaded. "Listen sweety. Im totally fine *cough* but I need your help *cough* okay. Just calm down and fly in front of the building for me." He replied. Skye could hear Zuma coughing. The fumes were getting to him. She knew she had to help, fast, so she did exactly what he asked.

Making her way to the front of the building, she turned her copter to face the building. "Okay Zumy. I'm here." She replied scared and worried as hell. "Alright baby. Now use your heat-vision goggles to look through the building and tell me where Chase is." Zuma stated as calmly as he could.

Skye did what she was told. Turning on her heat-vision goggles, she looked directly at the building. She saw a figure making his way up the stairs. She knew it was Zuma. Luckily the stairs weren't totally on fire so Zuma could make his way up quicker.

Skye searched through the building for a heat signature. Since the building was on fire, it was proving quite challenging. She looked at the floor where Chase last was. Checking, she saw a heat signature laying on the ground underneath what looked like wooden planks. It had to be Chase! And Skye noticed him by his long pointy ears.

"Zuma I found him!" she shouted through her pup-tag. "That's my girl. I knew you could do it. Now where is he?" He replied. Skye smiled at his response. "Just head up 3 more floors and you're there. But Zuma you need to hurry. I think Chase is under some wooden planks. He seems knocked out." Skye told him. "On my way!" he replied.

Zuma knew he had to move. Running up the stairs he saw the fumes get thicker. He felt them burn his lungs as he breathed, running up the stairs. Making his way up, he reached the floor that Chase was last seen. Looking at the hallway, he saw flames at every corner. He needed to thread carefully. He quickly rand through the centre of the hallway, running around whatever flames there was untill he saw it…

There on the ground were two wooden planks, slightly on fire. Zuma could see the german shepherd's body underneath. He quickly made his way over to find Chase unconscious. Putting his paws on the planks, he pushed them off of Chase. Grabbing the shepherd, Zuma put him on his back to carry. But then he heard creaking.

Looking up, he saw as the roof gave way and more planks fell. They were heading right for the two pups! Zuma ran forward as fas as he could, just dodging the planks as they fell. He looked back seeing the pile of planks on fire that blocked their path.

'Can't go back that way.' Zuma thought as he coughed more than before. "Zuma! Make your way over to the window, QUICK!" he herad Skye shout through his pup-tag. Zuma turned around looking at the window. "My harness is just outside the window. Jump for it!" Skye shouted. "Atta girl." Zuma said as he ran for the window. He coughed as he ran, his oxygen draining. But he knew he had to get Chase out safely. And if he died, Skye was gonna kill him!

As he reached the window, he readied himself. Just as was more than a meter away, he jumped…

Zuma felt his body break through the glass of the window as he flew through the air. Looking forward he saw Skye's harness. Opening his mouth, he caught onto it. As his body swayed from his momentum, Chase slipped off his back. Zuma lowered his paw and caught the unconscious shepherd just in time.

The building itself seemed to erupt as the flames grew bigger. Another explosion occurred mere seconds after Zuma escaped with Chase. It was just in a nick of time.

Skye lowered the two pups to the ground as she jumped out of her copter. She ran over to Zuma with tears in her eyes. She watched as Ryder and the other pups ran to him as well.

The 16 year old boy ran to his pups, grabbing Zuma as tightly as he could. "Don't you ever run into a burning building again. YOU HEAR ME!" he shouted as he hugged the life out of his pup. Zuma welcomed the embrace of his owner before coughing vigorously. Ryder let him down to give Zuma some room for air.

Marshall came over to Zuma with an oxygen mask. Placing it over the labrador's muzzle enabling him to breathe in from the mask. Skye ran over grabbing onto her Zuma as he hugged her back. "Don't ever do that again!" she shouted hitting Zuma on his shoulder. Zuma winced at the pain.

"I'm sorry." He said through the air mask. Skye just held onto him digging her head into his chest. The others quickly moved Chase to Marshall's ambulance and they were off to the hospital with the unconscious shepherd.

Everybody made their way to the hospital behind Marshall, with Rocky towing Chase's police cruiser and Skye still mad at Zuma. Zuma knew that he and Skye had to talk when they got the chance. He had to apologise for making his baby so scared.

They made it to the hospital in record time, getting Chase a doctor as quickly as they could. Then came the worst part of all. Telling Everest. Even though only Zuma and Skye knew of their relationship, it still was going to be terrible. Skye contacted her, telling her everything. Everest raced as fast as she could to the hospital while the others waited to hear from the doctor.

Zuma and Skye made their way over to another, empty waiting room away from the others. Zuma knew that he needed to make things up for making his Skye so scared. As they settled in the empty waiting room, he looked deeply into her pink, teary eyes. "I'm so sorry my baby." he started...
