"Thank you Paw Patrol for lifting that entire tree off the road, I thought I was going to miss work because of that, but you really save the day…and my job" One bystander said with a large row of cars back up on the road. Blocked by the lone tree that was being hoisted up by Skye's hyper-coloured helicopter.
"You're welcome, As soon as this tree is out of the way everyone can get to their job" Ryder exclaimed, his jacket started to flap viciously in the wind in one direction as Skye's chopper hover over the scene with bottom attached to a large rope that was also tightly fastened to shaft of the tree. The wind intensified as the tree lifted off the ground inch by inch before moving off to the side. "Tree is out of the way Ryder" Skye stated into her pup tag.
Everyone cheered, clapped and their hats in their air in jubilation as it was finally over. "Just a normal and calm day in Adventure Bay" Ryder said as he observed the helicopter fly over the town with the sideways tree, loose leaves down onto the tower as Skye flew it outside the town. Ryder slowly walked off the center of the road that was just covered with pieces of bark and small branches, but no problem to the drivers that were already in a hurry as the leader stepped aside, the long line of cars and trucks started to move. One by one each driver gave a thumbs up and thanked Ryder as they passed by.
Ryder smiled and waved as was the right thing to do, just doing his job after all. Suddenly, his tablet began to buzz and vibrate, indicating there was someone alert. Whether it was minor or major, it was the paw patrol's responsibility. It was a message, an audio message that was only half a minute long and sent by an unknown user with the title 'Help'.
Ryder looked worried, knowing by just the looks of it, this wasn't going to be any ordinary innocent mission. "Paw patrol to Lookout, Theres something you all need to see." Ryder exclaimed, running over to his ATV and hauling down the dirt path right back to the lookout atop the high hill overlooking the town.
Ryder and Skye flew up to the top from the elevator, already seeing his entire team waiting on him with a bit of concern. "What is it Ryder, is it Humdinger or Sweetie?" Chase asked, already knowing the list of people that would really want to do harm. "I don't know, I just got this audio message on my tablet and by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like anything ordinary." He said, motioning his hand for all the canines to gather around.
"Paw Patrol, or I think that's your name-Y-You know what it doesn't matter, We need your help, Head far south, like really far south. I only have a few more seconds on this channel before it gets cut off, I don't have much time before they find me. Just please, We need you, us dogs need you. Things aren't right here, Come find us near the big bridge when you get to Katt County, and whatever you do, you cannot trust-"The audio suddenly cut, leaving a wave of confusions and double the amount of questions.
"Can't twust who?" Zuma asked. "I don't know, it cut out there, but we can figure that out later. You heard it yourselves; someone needs our help and we're going to give it to them" Ryder said with confidence. "It sounds like more than one person actually, what did he mean by 'us dogs?" Chase asked as well, making everyone else question the same thing.
"Yeah, and where is Katt County anyway, never heard of it" Marshall also chimed in. "Me neither, but if this person's directions are accurate, it's really far south, which means really far away" Ryder stated. "Which means…..ROAD TRIP!" Marshall shouted with glee.
"You're right Marshall, everyone pack for a long trip and an even longer stay, sounds like Katt County is our next stop" Ryder ordered, seeing all his canines in justice spring to their pup houses, eager to pack do their duties.
Afterwards, after all the planning, one their way they went. Already hours into their journey as they passed their familiar landmarks. Goodbye went the giant bridge and hello rough country. "Ryder how far south are we going exactly, I haven't seen anyone for hours" Rocky stated, having his muzzle pressed up against the glass that separated the inside from the outside.
"I don't know, He said really far south so I guess until we see something" Ryder replied, to be honest, he didn't know what he was looking for either, there was nothing out there. Just fluffed trees, tumbled rocks and lush green going for miles. However, the view was superb, the great Green Majesty with mountains that touched the clouds above and rivers as blue and clear as the sky.
"It does look really pretty though" Skye commented, seeing the passing green terrains before hearing a shout from one of her friends. "Woah, I think I see it, right there over to the side" Marshall stated running to the front of the paw patroller as did everyone else, and the Dalmatian was right. There it was, a large wooden sign stuck into the ground, large welcoming words were etched on the front, greeting anyone who caught a glimpse of it.
'Welcome to Katt County'
Its letters swerved and curled in a fancy way, but legible at the same time. "Awesome, now let's find the bridge and see what the problem is" Ryder said until seeing the English bulldog but in as he stomach rumbled. "Aww can we find a diner, I'm starving" Rubble stated, rubbing his stomach.
"Rubble, you ate all the doggy treats just 30 minutes ago" Ryder replied, seeing Rubble already try and coheres him with a fierce case of the puppy dog eyes. "Pleeease Ryder, I have a big stomach" He replied with his paws clasped.
"More like a bottomless pit" Skye added as the whole gang started to chuckle, gaining an unamused look from the English bulldog. Their laughter was cut short however as they all heard a sudden blaring noise, sounds especially familiar to the German shepherd.
"What's that noise?" Rocky asked, looking up and down before seeing Chase run to the back, looking out the window see it for himself, a well decorated patrol car with it's red and blue sirens on, maintaining a distance from the back of paw patroller. "Cops" Chase stated as the rest began to get a little nervous.
"Why are they pulling us ovew, we haven't done anything wwong" Zuma asked to himself. "I suppose it doesn't matter, only one appropriate thing to do" Ryder replied, turned the steering wheel slight to the right, letting the paw patrol pull off to the side before stopping entirely. The Officer doing the same as the siren stopped but the lights didn't. Chase peaked through trying to see the cop, but the window was so tinted that it was almost impossible to.
Chase was suddenly surprised as all his friends gathered up close to the window as well. "Scoot over lemme see" Rubble persisted, nudging the friends to his side as he passively fought for a side of a window.
All of them stopped suddenly as the driver side of the patrol car sprang open, The deputy hopping out with a small ticket book. All surprised to see it was just a cat, a cat as a peace officer was quite the site. "Wait, That's the cop that pulled us over, him?" Skye asked, emphasizing the feline's size as the cat displayed a proud orange coat of fur which some of was covered by his green uniform decked with yellow stripes and green campaign hat. A vest wrapped around his body with bold letters of 'Sheriff' titled on full display, showing all who looked on who he worked for. However, as the deputy slowly advanced to the back of the paw patroller, he suspiciously looked around as if he was about to do something he shouldn't. Catching the eyes of all the members of paw patrol who unbeknownst to him were going to be witness to his actions.
The cat finished looking around before suddenly drawing his baton from his side and in one swift swing, striking the single brake light on the side. The rest of paw patrol watched in disbelief to what he did, quickly placing his baton back on his side to walk alongside the side of paw patroller before looking up to see the driver side window. "Down here!" The cat shouted, seeing Ryder's head poke out down below to see the cat. "Awww, how adorable" Ryder commented seeing non-amused face along the deputy's face. "I'm Deputy Nibbles with the Katt County Sheriff's Office, pulled you over for a broken brake light"
"Broken, That's weird, I checked everything, and it was working fine" Ryder explained, not knowing that none of it was his fault.
"Go ahead and step on out so you can get a better look at it" The cat insisted, motioning his claws to follow him, Ryder sating him up on the offer as he unbuckled his seat belt. Watching the rest of paw patrol scramble to his side. "Ryder, That cat, You won't believe what he did" Chase said in a huff. "In a second Chase, stay here while I sort this out" He said with his palm faced to the German shepherd in a command to stay, as so with the rest of the dogs.
Stepping off the Paw Patroller to meet the deputy, both walking side by side to the back of paw patroller to view the 'mechanical failure'. Chase and the rest worried what else might happen, as they scrambled to the nearest side window to observe. "Oh wow, I didn't know it was so busted, Glass and all, I had no idea"
"Just get it fixed up while you're in the town, Where you head'n from?" He asked.
"Adventure Bay, We're on a mission to help someone actually, We're Paw Patrol" Ryder explained, one word however catching the cat's ears sharply. "We?" He looked up at the human in confusion before seeing the window of the paw patroller slide open, multiple dogs jumping out afterwards, giving cat quite the freight.
"Don't listen to him Ryder, we saw him break the light" Chase exclaimed, letting Ryder come to the slow realize as he stated at the cat, however he himself was on the brink of a heart attack.
Tightly gripping his radio as he put the call "I'm gonna need additional 32's on Pickley Road, Code D" The cat said, before all of paw patrol looked each other with worry.
"Dirty Cops don't scare paw patrol, no offense Chase" Marshall stated before turning to his German shepherd friend. "none taken" Chase his paw to reassure the Dalmatian.
"Hold on a second, who'd y'all say you were again?" The deputy asked, a bit confused as he looked at all of them. "You don't recognize us, were Paw Patrol, defenders and protectors of adventure bay" Marshall replied, gaining a mood from everyone else. The cat cop eyed them all before squeezing his radio once more.
"Dispatch, disregard those additional units, Traffic stop is code 4, 10-8 returning to patrols" He said. Suddenly placing both his claws against the pre-written ticket he was about to hand to Ryder for a 'broken brake light', tearing it to pieces with no emotion. "Yall are free to go, stay out of trouble" He said before turning around.
Heading back to his patrol car. Paw patrol couldn't believe what they witnessed. A crooked cop seemingly just disregarding everything, forgetting everything that happened, just to walk away. His car pulled off the side of the road, heading further down into the county. "Uhhh Chase, is that what cops do normally?" Skye asked as they all watched the deputy's car disappear over the horizon.
"No, No it's not. Something didn't seem right about that" Chase commented. "Maybe he knew we were one of the good guys" Marshall replied.
"I don't know, there's something else going on around here. Ryder, we should go" Chase looked up to his human commander as he insisted. "You're right about both of those, and I'm sorry I didn't listen to any of you when that happened" Ryder stated, walking back to the paw patroller as he eyed the broken break light.
"Cmon guys, we've got people to save" Ryder insisted, raising his fist up high to raise everyone else's moral that sour welcome to the valley. One by one each member smiled knowing the mission hadn't even begun, and it was going to be a long one indeed.
