It was the morning after Chase's abduction and all the pups woke up with frowns on their faces, remembering the day be fore's events.
Rocky woke up with his head throbbing from his head injury. Katie had told him that he would have headache and a small scar from the wound.
The five pups walked into the lookout, with their ears low and tails stationary, to get there breakfast.
Ryder noticed the pup's glum moods and couldn't help but know exactly how they were feeling, they all missed Chase.
"We'll find Chase you guys, I promise." Ryder said, trying to cheer the pups and himself up.
"I just wish there was more we could do to help..." Marshall said, staring at his food bowl, not feeling hungry.
"I've given the police all the details about the truck and what the men looked like, all we can do now is wait for them to find it. It's just a matter of time." Ryder told them, yet again trying to cheer them up, even though he could tell that it didn't. But then an idea popped into the boys head.
"How about to help find Chase, after we eat, we all get into our vehicles and search the town for the truck or men?" Ryder asked the pups.
This caused all of the pups to cheer and wag their tails.
"Wyder is it ok if we starwt now, none of us awe weally hungwy." Zuma asked their leader, with all of the pups nodding in agreement.
"Ya me neither pups, come on let's go!" Ryder said.
The pups cheered once again and made their way to their pup houses to begin looking for Chase.
Not moments after the pups began their search they heard Ryder's voice coming from there tags. "Alright pups keep in contact, I want to know where you guys are all day." Ryder told them, a little worried for his pups.
Ryder heard the various replies, all agreeing to keep in contact with him.
It had been about three hours into the search and with the five pups and Ryder's looking, they had covered almost the entire island.
"Pups I hate to say it but we might have to end the search for today, it's been about three hours and there has been no signs of Chase or the men." Ryder told the other pups a hint of sadness in his voice about calling it of for the day.
"Just a couple more minutes Ryder, please?" Rocky asked their leader, almost sounding like a kid wanting to play a little longer.
"Hmmm, alright Rocky a few more minutes, but that's it for today. I don't want something to happen to one of you guys." Ryder told Rocky.
"Meet back at the lookout in ten minutes pups." Ryder told all the pups through there tags.
"Man, Chase where are you?" Rocky asked.
Rocky had been searching the northern part of the island and had almost completely searched the entire section, all except one road.
"Well this is the last road I haven't checked." Rocky said as he turned down said road.
"Please Chase, wherever you are, please be ok. I need you." Rocky said to himself as he drove down the road.
After about a minute of driving Rocky came to the end of the road. It was a dead end, nothing was there.
Rocky hung his head low and turned around, begging to head back to the lookout.
As he began to drive down the empty road again he saw something out of the corner of his eye tucked away in the trees.
He pared his vehicle and jumped off to go and investigate what he saw.
Rocky made his way through the woods and what he saw made him stop dead in his tracks and jaw drop to the ground.
"The truck!" Rocky yelled in excitement. He couldn't believe his eyes, he found the truck and there was a cabin about 10 feet away where he was sure that Chase was being held.
Rocky quickly let the others know that he had found the truck down the old abandoned road. They all cheered. Ryder told him to stay put and wait for them, not to go in alone.
Rocky ignored his leader's words and started to walk towards the cabin, the fact that Chase might be in there was just too much for him. "There's no way I'm waiting, knowing you could be in there." Rocky thought to himself.
Chase was still in the cage that the two men had stuck him in and he was deep in thought.
"I think I finally got it." He thought to himself. "I know that whatever they have planned for me is happening soon, so when they come and get me I'm going to play dead, they don't look too bright, so maybe they'll fall for it. I'll slow my breathing way down and not move a muscle." Chase smiled, thinking he had a full proof plan thought up.
Not moments after he finished explaining the plan to himself he heard the door creak open. He quickly put his new pan into action and laid on his side while slowing his breathing so it looked like he wasn't breathing at all.
Chase was deep in his thoughts, wondering if this would work and what will happen if it doesn't, so he did not here what was happening outside of the cage.
Rocky crept up towards the cabin quietly. He was at the edge of the tree line and was about to go up to the cabin when the two men walked out of the front door.
Rocky quickly moved back a couple of feet so that he was in the shadows, unable to be seen by the men.
He watched the men go to their truck and get in. They drove off and Rocky took his chance and ran up to the front door.
The gray pup slowly opened the front door that the two men had accidently left cracked open. He walked into the cabin and saw the room he walked into was the kitchen. He kept on walking, all the while keeping a lookout for any sign of Chase. The next room was the living room and after that was a hallway that had three different doors.
The first door was just a plain bedroom, nothing unique and especially no Chase. Same went for the next.
He came to the end of the hallway and the last door. He slowly opened it and what he saw almost made him break down into tears. He saw a cage sitting on the floor and in that cage he saw Chase, but something was wrong.
"Chase!" Rocky yelled in excitement as he ran up to the cage. But once he saw Chase he stopped dead in his tracks a couple of feet from the cage.
Rocky looked at the police pup and saw that he was not moving at all and he couldn't see the pup breathing.
"Chase…" Rocky whispered as he slowly crept up to the cage, fearing the worst.
Upon further examination Rocky confirmed with himself that the pup was not breathing.
"No…NO! Chase please you can't be dead, please!" Rocky whined, tears streaking down his cheeks.
The pup went to get Chase out of the cage but saw it was locked. He frantically looked around the room for something to break the lock. He spotted a crowbar a couple of feet and away and ran to it. The pup grabbed the bar in his mouth and ran back the cage and began to pry at the lock with all his strength.
It took the pup a little while but he finally broke the lock. He threw the crowbar off to the side and ran into the cage.
He began to shake the police pups shoulder and yell at him. "Please Chase! I need you! I-I love you Chase!"
Chase had been deep in thought ever since he heard the door open. But those thoughts were interrupted when he felt someone shaking him and the words "I love you" from a very familiar voice.
He slowly opened his eyes to see Rocky above him, crying and yelling at him.
"Chase! You're alive!" Rocky yelled when he saw the pup's eyes open. He quickly embraced the police pup in a tight hug.
"Ya I'm alive. I was just faking it to fool the men, I thought you were them." Chase answered quickly. "But Rocky you need to get out of here, those two men are here and they could catch you." Chase told his friend concerned for him.
"No Chase, they left. I'm getting you out of here." Rocky said, determined to save his friend. He began to drag Chase out by the paw.
"What do you mean they left? Where did they go?" Chase asked as he began walking for himself instead of being dragged.
"They left in their truck, I don't know now where they went. All I know is there gone and it's your chance to escape. Now come on lets go." Rocky told Chase, trying to get the pup to hurry up.
Chase finally taking the hint began to run with Rocky out of the cabin, out into the open.
As they walked out the door all of the other pups, Ryder, and a cop car pulled up.
"Chase!" The pups and Ryder all said at once and ran up to the police pup. They all embraced the shepard in a group hug.
"I thought I told you to stay put Rocky?" Ryder asked Rocky, upset about Rocky's actions.
"Rocky hung his head low, sorry Ryder, I was worried about him." Rocky whined.
Seeing the pups reaction made Ryder lighten up some. "It's ok Rocky." He said while patting the pups head. "I'm just glad that you guys are ok." Ryder said looking at the two.
"It's good to have you back Chase!" Rubble said. All the others agreed.
"It's good to be back." Chase smiled.
That's when a police officer walked over to them with two men in handcuffs.
"Are these the men that took you Chase?" The officer asked the pup.
Chase nodded and walked over to the one on the right, which was Michael. "Oh and this is for hurting my friend." Chase said then jumped up and bite down hard on his hand, drawing blood.
"OW!" Michael yelled as he pulled his hand from Chase's mouth. "He bite me officer!" Michael yelled to the cop.
"Yes he did. Come on two lets go." The officer said as he took the two back to his car and haul them off to jail.
Ryder walked over to Chase and frowned at him. But then the boy smiled and said "Come on guys lets go home. Chase you can ride with Rocky." Ryder offered.
"Ok." Chase smiled and he and Rocky walked over to where Rocky had parked.
"Thanks." Rocky said to Chase with a smile.
"No Rocky, thank you. You found me. If you hadn't I don't know if I would have made it through what they had planned for me." Chase said with a frown and slight growl.
I'm just glad that know you are back Chase, I missed you.
They both climbed into Rocky's vehicle and began the journey home.
I think there will be only one more chapter. Not sure yet
