7 Hours later.
Chase arrives in Barkingburg and lands near the castle in the forest, He hops out and grabs a duffle bag from the back of the helicopter, He then walks up to the side of the castle and starts climbing the wall.
Meanwhile, inside the castle.
The princess is in a meeting with the most powerful people in all of Barkingburg, Sweetie was sitting in a chair next to the princess, behind her was the door to a balcony that overlooked the city, Beneath it was a river. They were all talking about the economy and how to run the kingdom, the heist on the Bank of Barkingburg that the PAW Patrol pulled off a few years ago was still impacting the kingdom, even after all this time. Sweetie wasn't really interested in that stuff though, she was incredibly bored and was struggling to stay awake.
Chase was outside the door on the balcony, waiting for the perfect moment. when he heard everyone arguing with eachother he knew now was the time to do it, He threw on his mask, ran into the room and grabbed Sweetie, holding her in front of him in case anyone in the room had a firearm. he then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the Royal pup. "No one moves or I paint this terrier bright fucking red!" Chase yelled to everyone else in the room. Everyone looked at him, some had jumped out of their chairs in shock and the princess looked at him, almost in tears.
Chase made eye contact with her as he slowly dragged Sweetie to the balcony, once they were both at the edge he forced the pup over it into the river then jumped in himself, the princess ran over and looked down at the river but she couldn't see either of them. Chase looked around while under the water, he saw Sweetie trying to swim away but he grabbed her collar and started dragging her again towards the coast, Once they got out of the river he threw her to the ground. "Alright start speaking, were you the one that snitched on my friend and got him arrested?" Chase said to her. "N-No I didn't, I swear!" Sweetie said to him, Chase pulled out his pistol again. "Don't lie to me." Chase said to her, trying to get her to confess. "I-I'm not! I haven't done anything!" Sweetie said while staring at him, Chase could read the expression on her face and could tell she wasn't lying, He put his pistol away and helped her up. "Alright i believe you." Chase said to her, Sweetie was surprised, and confused, now that she got a good look at him something seemed, familiar about him. "Who are you?" Sweetie asked him, Chase looked at her before slowly taking off his mask, they stared at eachother for a few seconds before one of them finally spoke.
"Chase!?" Sweetie said to him, borderline yelling. "No way, yo-you died! I saw it happen!" Sweetie yelled at him. "Well I'm alive, surprise!" Chase said as he smiled, Sweetie wasn't smiling however, she was just getting even more pissed off, Chase noticed this. "are you okay?" Chase asked her. "am i okay!? that's the question you ask? You faked your death, disappeared for years upon years, bankrupted the kingdom and then after years of being missing came back and kidnapped me at gunpoint and one of the first things you ask me is "am i okay"?! No Chase, I'm not okay!" Sweetie yelled at him, so pissed off with him Chase was sure she was about to explode. "Listen Sweetie, i know i did some regrettable things but just relax and we can tal-" Chase got cut off by her. "Relax? You want me to relax?!" Chase reached into the duffle bag he grabbed and pulled out some duct tape, he then put a peice of tape over her mouth to shut her up. "Sweetie, Listen! I understand that i did a ton of regrettable things and i accept all the fault for my actions but i need your help." Chase said, Sweetie ripped off the duct tape from her mouth and looked at him, before she could say something Chase started speaking again. "Me and my friends were doing our job, a standard "These guys ripped me off, Go kill them." job, Someone tipped off the ACPD and informed them we were gonna be there however and we got ambushed, we managed to escape but they captured Zuma and i need your help to save him." Chase explained to her and pretty much begged her to help him, Sweetie finally found her voice again. "Even if i wanted to help you, which I don't, what would i gain from it? Getting arrested? Being murdered? Sent to the USSR and freezing to death in siberia?" Sweetie said to him. "Becoming Queen of Barkingburg?" Chase replied. "What?" Sweetie asked him, confused. "I know you want to become queen, If you help us in getting our labrador back I'll happily help you get your crown." Chase said to her, Sweetie was seriously considering the offer. after a long silence she decided on her response. "Alright, I'm in. On the condition that you promise to help me afterwards, deal?" She said to the shepherd. "Deal." Chase responded.
"Now, how exactly do i get to...wherever we're going? The princess is definitely gonna call a search and someone will report it if they see me" Sweetie asked him. "Simple, you'll fake your death as well." Chase said as he grabbed her collar and threw it into the river. "Now, let's go. We have a labrador to save." Chase said as they both walked towards the helicopter he arrived in.
Another 7 hours later.
They both approached the edge of Adventure City when Sweetie asked Chase to land somewhere on the outside of the city, Chase did as she asked and she hopped out of the helicopter. "What are you doing?" Chase asked her. "I don't want to meet everyone right now, especially when their grieving over a lost ally, they might think I'm replacing them and that probably won't end well for me. Tell me when you guy's are ready to break him out, In the meantime I'm gonna make some plans, and then some backup plans in case the original plan goes wrong." Sweetie responded to him. "Alright, here take this." Chase said as he tossed a puptag towards her, along with a collar. "What's this?" Sweetie asked him. "It's a spare puptag, my old one specifically. it's broken so you can't speak with other members using it but you can still hear them." Chase replied. "Ok, bye Chase!" Sweetie said to him. "Bye Sweetie."
30 minutes later.
Chase landed on the roof of Ryder's Apartment and exited the helicopter, Skye ran up to the roof and up to Chase as soon as he landed. "So you're the one who took my copter." Skye said to him. "Yep, had to go visit an old friend." Chase said back to her. "Who exactly is this "Old friend"?" Skye asked. "Don't worry Skye, you'll meet them one day." Chase told her. "I'm sure of it."
