Part 4
Helping Paw
There was a breach in security at the Hizuri estate, two obsessive women was able to illegally trespass the property and intrude the youngest Hizuri's office. Luckily Lugh who doubles as Julianne's secretary and personal aide noticed them first before they were able to get to Julianne.
With police interrogation, they were indeed after the youngest Hizuri son, however with the man's kind soul, he did not press any charges and just met with them scolding not to do it again or they will be in serious legal trouble as what they have done was a felony. Sadly, it was not the only threat that had happened, with Julianne's type of business, there was a imminent threat to his life after few bad business he refused and corporate rivals wanted his exisitence to expire. He would be in constantly ambushed and often engaged to a shooting exchange- worse abduction.
There were reportedly plenty of armed and collective radicals that desperately sought him for his skills and talent into making diabolical armaments for destruction.
Thankfuly, his two bodyguards and driver were talentedly capable and handled every emergency and chaos that has been happening whenever he exists their estate. Thankfully, his family were safe and was never targeted due to the diligence and caution practiced by his hired private army, turned securities.
Heavily concerned, "You need to add more security." Kuu demanded in fear of his son's life.
With a heavy sigh, "As much as I hate it, I guess now is the best time." Only his father and mother knows that he is diagnosed with anxiety and often suffers from episodes after the recent ambush.
Julie and Kuu are growing more concern for his health and life whenever he leaves their compound, without so much convincing, the Hizuri estate had guards heavily armed and in combat suits roaming all over their properties. His main body guards became in charge of departments responsible to keep the compounds safe.
"Where are you going?" Kuon asked looking concerned that his might be killed; he watched Julianne wear his ballistic vest under his dress shirt and tuck-in a concealed pistol under his trench coat.
Turning to his brother, "Lugh and Yuuya suggested I get some security dogs. And I want to check them myself if they are indeed worth my money." It as just his excuse to go out and at least be secured to a facility.
Kuon doesn't have the heart to stop his brother from leaving, "Just please be careful and be safe?" Kuon sounding really worried.
With an unbothered shrug, "I'll be fine." Kuon could not help to hug his brother, thinking it might be the last every time he leaves. "Besides, Rachester and Kuran are on my case. Yukito Asami is helping out too, purging his nether." Julianne sounded confident, however deep inside he was anxious his family would get involved.
With hesitation letting his brother leave, "Well, just be careful." Kuon hugged him again.
His close friend and former flatmate in college; Nakahara is the owner of the biggest custom military vehicle brand, they too are associates that supplied the organization they do business with. As a present as well as concern for him, his good friend sent him multiple-brand-new armored kits. Luxury off-road Jeeps as well as SUVs convoyed and kept his vehicle in the middle for tighter security measures.
It wasn't just him that uses those vehicles but rather his whole family, including Kyoko. He hired personal guards to watch his family whenever leaving the house for work.
The drive was actually short and they arrived to a facility where private securities trains prized security and combat canines, he was impressed with all the muscled Pitt-bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman, German-Shepherd and Belgian-Malinois, Italian mastiffs displaying their obedience after a command, Julianne approved and bought all of them, "What about that one?" He asked pointing at the kennel.
"I'm sorry sir, however... Diesel is not the best security dog at the moment, he's quite friendly and doesn't follow commands that well." Sighed by the handler, looking pitifully at the Cane Corso puppy.
Julianne doesn't looked fazed, "Does he fetch?" He asked the handler.
"Excuse me?" The man just stared at him dumbfounded.
In repeat, "I asked if he do fetch?" the man was coming confused and trying to process what he asked.
Half heartedly, "Uh... he does..."
With approval, "Good, I'll take him too." The man got his jaw hanging, "By the way how old is he?" Julianne looked enamoured at the silky all black puppy with short cropped ears.
The handler's quick reply, "Diesel is eleven weeks old..."
"Quite young, but it's good, he'll be a perfect roommate, aren't you boy?" The eleven weeks old puppy whined and rolled for some belly rubs, "Can you hurry and open the gate for me?" The handler scrambled to open the kennel door and put a temporary leash on the puppy. "I will be taking him with me today, and so as the other pooches." He turned to the pack of obedient dogs.
"I got another car, I expect they are good without their carriers?" The handler nodded still shocked at Julianne. "Good, now where is your office so I can settle all the payments?" Julianne handed out a large sum of money to the owner of the facility after taking all the available security dogs.
"Hajime, can you drop by to a pet store? I would like to get some things for our new recruits." Julianne, secretly excited to shop for the dogs. Aisle- after-aisle he checked all the products, he found some good collars and took the dogs in to choose their own preferred toys, observing the pooches personalities he got them personal collars and had them made personalized with their names.
Even though, they were working and dangerous dogs, its seems he got them to be puppies again. "This would suit you well?" Julianne chuckled and fitted the huge golden Cuban link collar to his new friend. "Ain't you a cutie?" He cooed in whispers giving the dog some belly rubs.
"Lugh, tell Nasa-san to modify the new vests in the size of the dogs, I don't want them getting hurt while patrolling." Julianne ordered and Lugh was more than happy to deliver it to his engineer subordinate.
Safely returning, Julie and Kuu are making eye contact at the energetic eight months old Cane Corso begging for a belly eub from the couple, "Diesel is safe, he's too friendly to be a guard dog." assured by Julianne.
Julie was the first to speak, "Well... he looks cute." When she approached Diesel flopped to his back and asked for more belly rubs, "Yep! Too friendly!" And Julie gave the pooch the needed affection.
Diesel had his ears and tail clipped, Julianne did not approve of such cruelty however it was a usual practice by security dog breeders.
Lugh, Yuuya and Hajime shared to Kuon and Kyoko the story where Julianne took the 'security dogs' to a pet shop and had them pick out their toys to take home. Kyoko found it really adorable that Julianne even cared for them. They were all amused how their cold and serious employer turned to a child and wore a genuine smile carrying the heavy and giant eight-months old puppy around the store.
Each dog is being treated as family and in their register, they were given the Hizuri name for any vet appointments.
"Come here boy!" Diesel has become the Hizuri family baby and Kuu loved him to bits. He made his debut under Kuu's update; introducing the puppy to his fans. However failed to let them know that Diesel is owned by Julianne.
"Son, I suggest you ask someone to train Diesel to be your emotional support dog." Kuu suggested, "He's got the potential." Petting the giant pooch.
Diesel would whine and squeeze himself to Julianne's side whenever his human starts to get panic episodes whenever something would randomly trigger him, Julianne would shortly calm down and breathe evenly because of him, and he would be quick to alert any human passing by outside his master's door to let them know Julianne is in trouble.
With a suggestion, "I know someone who can train him." Kuu smiled, "I worked with few animals on set and my good friend trained them all."
Julianne with agreement, "Well, I'll trust you with Diesel then?" Appreciating his father's suggestion, "Though, can they train here?" refusing to part with his loyal companion.
Kuu considered his son's emotional comfort, "They can, Diesel doesn't need to leave your side." Kuu yet again assured his son, Julianne became attached to the giant puppy and would be found curling in his office floor with the pooch.
Within that day, Kuu made arrangements and the trainer dropped by to meet Diesel and Julianne. She too was a fan of Julianne and delighted to work on a dog owned by him.
