It was quiet only wounded ones were whining.

The sky was full of grey clouds and it soon started to rain. Everyone started cursing that.

Food had ended also, there was nothing to eat. Speedy and the others tried to eat old bread. Useless.

"ARGH! I can't eat that thing what it even is I want to have REAL meat!" Scope shouted and got up from his place and padded up next to Little brother, "C'mon let's get something to eat," he said quietly and walked away from the collapsed building, Little Brother behind him.

"Halt! Where you two going?!" Jetz shouted after them. Scope smiled to him when he looked over his shoulder. "Checking what kind of menu neighbors have," he said and sneered then walked away.

"Ouh Great now they are going to get bullets..." Jetz said under his lips and rested his head on his paws and sighed, it was still early.

After a few minutes of silence they heard several gun shots and shouts then they heard one happy scream.

"That was Scope," Legion said and nodded his head for a point.

Then they heard huge death scream. "That was Little brother," Salama said and rested his head on his paws, soon the gun shots ended and all was quiet again.

"Hahaha!" Scope laughed when he jumped back inside the collapsed house, behind him was Little brother who had a bloody muzzle.

"Did you bit under hip again?" Janice asked sarcastically Little Brother who was happy again.

"Yeah but it was worth it, he begged that by hanging around with bayonet," Little brother said and raised his head because he was proud of himself again.

"Yeah, Yeah, sure, sure, look what we have!" Scope shouted and threw a huge bag onto the floor. The bag was full of food, bread, dry meat, chicken, cow, horse- whatever they had found.

"Of course I have to sell them, they aren't free," Scope said, but he changed his mind when others threatened him with some sort of things.

Every SE dog ate like a king, few dog team members came to have some food but they were thrown away. "Not For everyone!" Scope shouted after them.

Soon after they had eaten, Jetz made a small patrol. Those who he picked were: Speedy, Cooper, Kat, Salama, Legion, Janice, and himself.

"OK we will return fast," he said to the rest of the team and walked away with the selected dogs behind him.

Walking for a few minutes, they didn't see anything that would be new. Only old corpses that smelled awful but they ignored it, dead civilians were also lying everywhere. Children even...

"Why they CAN'T let civilians alone," Salama growled when he saw those bodies.

"Life is hell," Jetz snapped from the lead.

One old pram was lying on the street, some crying voices were heard from there, and the child’s mother was lying on ground killed by an artillery grenade. Jetz cursed war so that everyone heard it.

Janice walked towards the pram, Speedy looked at the others then followed her.

She rose on her hind legs to see what was inside the pram. There was only one baby who was crying.

"Aww isn’t he cute?" Janice asked Speedy who rose next to her.

"Well… he is," Speedy said after he watched the baby a few seconds.

Suddenly a bullet interrupted them, it flew just one inch by their heads.

"Holy!" Speedy shouted and took cover behind a street that was near the pram, Janice followed him.

Two grenades flew into the air and hit the street shaking it, fire captured everything that was near.

Pram wasn't in the same spot anymore, it had flown into the shop that was next to it.

"Ouh my god!" Janice shouted and jumped into the shop checking if the baby was OK. Luckily it was OK. She lay down and started to cry, happy tears.

Speedy lay down next to her, he didn't know what else he could do, and rested his head on her back and sighed. "When this war is going to end?" Janice asked while she sniffed.

"I hope that soon," Speedy said, he couldn’t find any good words to calm her down. She was badly upset, near braking point, if dog will face it, it will be doomed. Janice knew that and same does Speedy.

Suddenly they heard a man’s voice behind the corner. The shop owner walked out from the basement where he and his wife have been hiding. He looked at the two dogs a bit confused, but then he saw the baby and walked up next to it.

"I can take care of him," he said to the dogs and talked softly to the baby now in his hands and disappeared down into the basement again. Speedy rose on his fours and nudged Janice to do the same. She rose up soon as well.

"Thanks Speedy you at least tried helping me," she said and wiped her tears away and walked out from the building where the others were waiting for them.

"C'mon guys here isn't whole day time to do so," Salama shouted and sneered at Legion, who nodded at him.

They walked a few minutes again and didn't see anything that would be of interest and the rain was nasty like always.

"Aww I hate rain it is alw....ARGH!" Cooper said but was interrupted by a bullet that hit his chest, he dropped onto the street trying to fight for a breath, and he let strange voices, strangling voices.

"Ouh My god! KAT!" Jetz shouted when he pulled Cooper into a small street, trying to not hurt him.

Kat jumped up next to him and looked into Cooper's eyes. Cooper still tried to get a breath ,but he couldn't succeed.

"He has a chest shot... I can't help him..." Kat said, she was shocked when she saw his face. Cooper coughed trying to get his throat free, some blood came out from his mouth.

"C'mon Cooper..." Speedy said when he watched his face, then he looked towards Jetz who was holding his paw on Cooper's chest, that was bleeding badly, his paw was bloody.

"Cooper..?" Legion asked when he lowered his head near his friend. "You won't survive..." he said quietly and pulled his head back.

Cooper tried still to take a breath. It was desperate whining that he made, trying to get a breath. He started to cry, tears running down his cheek.

"No… No... Why him..." Janice said quietly, actually she hated Cooper but now she realized that she didn't hate him after all.

Cooper didn't say anything, he suffocated in Antoria, on a chest shot, the bullet sunken into his lungs.

Jetz sat down looking at the others. Then he lay down in the wet mud, he and his team had lost one of the best dogs. Speedy took Cooper's collar and gave it to Salama who put it into his bag.

"He is now dead, let’s keep going," Jetz said suddenly and rose onto his fours and then walked away from the side street, everyone following him.

Again it was a quiet moment only several gun shots pierced the whole town.
