Emily bark to get Thomas and Ashley's attention. Ashley looked down at Emily and say the paper. Ashley then grabbed the paper and looked at it. "Missing," Ashley read. Thomas then grabbed the paper from Ashleys hand's and started to read. "It's Emaily's parents," Thomas said as he turned and looked at Ashley. Emily barked happly. Ashley nodded and looked back at Thomas. "Maybe we should go in town and find them," Ashley suggested. Emily barked happly again.
Thomas shook his head. "We can't do that," Thomas stated. Emily then lowered her ears. "How come?" Ashley said. Thomas didn't her he just jumped off the boat and looked up everyone from the boat. "They might believe you. So I will go and see what I can do," Thomas said as he started run towards town. "Thomas Wait!" Ashley shouted. Emily then pulled on her jeans with mouth. Ashley then looked down at Emily. "You think his got it?" Ashley asked. Emily smiled and bark in reply.
Ashley nodded. And just watched Thomas head for town. Emily then looked at Balto and smiled. "I know his got this," Emily said said with smile. Balto chuckled, "Yeah he sure his head strong about it," Balto replied. Fresh snow started to fall from the sky as the sun started to set for the day. Max walked off the boat and started to head for town. "I want to see what this kids got in him," Max thought to himself as started to run into town. About an hour has passed as Thomas waiked into main street of the town.
At frist Thomas was going to head to poilce station. But then thought about the picture he took with Emily a few weeks ago and it had her real eye color in it. He also had a picture of him and Ashley as well with her eye color. "The eye color should let them see," Thomas said he ran to his house. Thomas walked up two steps from his pouch but then was stopped by his neighbor. "I saw you with her," A voice said behind Thomas. Thomas stopped right front of his door. Thomas smiled before turning around.
"Atticus Parker. Long time no see huh?" Thomas said as he turned around and saw his old friend. Atticus smiled as he walked up to Thomas. Atticus had raven blue hair with pale white skin and green eyes. "Come on Thomas I know you're looking for Emily," Atticus confronted Thomas getting into his face. Thomas smile as he looked into his green eyes. "I'm sorry Emily moved away to mom's house," Thomas lied. Atticus laughed. "Still trying to be the bad boy huh?" Atticus said with a smile.
Thomas hesitated for a moment. Atticus chuckled. "Yeah that's what I thought," Atticus said as he walked down the steps. "And I guessing that you're mad about that night huh?" Atticus said turning around and looking up at Thomas from the side waik. Thomas glared at Atticus. "Nothing was the same after that night," Thomas said as he formed a fist in his right hand. Atticus smiled again. "Well we learn a little more each day don't we. See you around," Atticus said as he saluted before leaving him.
Thomas then looked down before walking into his house. "His need our help!" Thomas screamed. (FlashBack) "We need to get out of here!" Atticus screamed back. "Besides his long gone," Atticus added. Thomas stood up away from the bush plane. "Damn Atticus he needs medical attention," Thomas snapped back wiping blood on his white shirt. "What can we do! Were just two kids out in the middle of no where!" Atticus shouted. Thomas glaired at his friend. " My mom is going to kill me for this! You have no idea this is my step dad!" Thomas snapped back again.
Atticus looked up to the sky and clap his hands together and started to have tears roll down his face. "I'm sorry Thomas but he might be a dead step dad," Atticus answered. Thomas brushed throught his hair with his bloody hand and started to cry. "Don't fucking say that! We can do this!" Thomas said breaking down. Atticus turned and looked at his friend. "It's us or him," Atticus stated. "You chose," Atticus added before walking away leaving Thomas in the cold snow.
"Atticus? Atticus? Atticus!" Thomas shouted but there was no response. Thomas then broke down again and looked at his step father. "Duke I'm going to make alright I promise no matter what I will make it alright," Thomas said with breaking inbetween. (End of FlashBack) Thomas found himself in tears outside of his house. "Nothing was the same after that," Thomas said himself. Thomas turned around and walked towards his door of the house. Before walking inot the house he puched the side door and walked inside.
Thomas ran upstairs and grabbed his picures and headed back down stairs. Thomas opened the front door to find Max sitting on his pouch. Thomas stopped and staired at Max in the eyes. "Look Max I know you may love Ashley and you may not lie humans and I understand that," Thomas explianed. Max cocked his head to the right as Thomas spoke. "I hate myself for behing human sometimes I mean two years ago I had a step dad who did the bush plane thing and I mean after a day a..." Thomas stopped himself.
"Man I never knew this kid was apart of the bush plane race," Max thought. Thomas chuckled. "He Had a broken leg and I tried to do what ever I could to help him and I nearly lost him I had to leave him alone in the cold in order to save him and I don't want anything to happen to Ashley or Emily and I'm sure you don't want anything to happen to them as well," Thomas explained. Max smiled and barked in reply. Thomas smiled. "Thanks buddy. Now lets go make things right," Thomas said as he walked passed Max and patted him on the head.
Atticus watched Thomas talking to Max from his car. "You didn't have to leave like that!" Thomas shouted (Flashback) Atticus looked at his friend in anger. "Look I said i was sorry but we had to move!: Atticus shot back . Thomas glared at Atticus. "If it wasn't Balto who saved him he would have been dead!" Thomas screamed in fury. Atticus made a fist. "Well he's safe now isn't he?" Atticus asked. Thomas rolled his eyes. "Yeah now he is but we could have been something for him," Thomas said as he stood up and pushed Atticus. Atticus went back at him and puched Thomas's left eye and making him fall to the ground.
Thomas then spits out blood from his mouth and looks up at Atticus. "Forget you man just forget you," Thomas said as he got ready to stand up. Atticus then tried to help him up but then was pushed away. Thomas then walked away toward's the door of the garage. "If it was you out there I would do everything in my power to save you even if it mean my life," Thomas said as he opened the door and walked outside. (End of FlashBack) Atticus started to feel tears build up in eyes with air feeling light for him. Atticus puched his stearing a couple times while breaking down in tears. "I'm sorry!" Atticus shouted as Thomas and Max left the house. "I'm sorry," Atticus repeated himself before starting the car and following Thomas and Max.
