the sunset and ran over to Medic.

"Dude, what did you do Medic" Sarge teased "Doesn't matter right now, go get help" ordered Medic "Who?" "How' bout the Chief" said Medic doing his best to hold Dusty up, same as Kodi. "Got it be right back" Sarge said and ran into downtown.

"Medic... I'm going... to make it... right?" Dusty asked in a weak voice that made Kodi's heart sink again, and then he looked at Medic worried way.

Medic began to chuckle a little and said "You guys would not last in New York worrying about this, don't worry, she'll be back to her normal self in like a week". There was a little sign of relief in both Kodi and Dusty's expression.

"Kodi..." Dusty whispered weakly. "Yeah Dusty" he whispered back. Dusty's muzzle was pretty close to Kodi's cheek when Kodi looked back at Dusty. "Thank you... for saving... my life" Dusty whispered. Then Dusty, like Kodi about 5 minutes ago lost control of her actions and liked his cheek.

Dusty was stunned at what she just did and blushed, at the same time, Kodi was blushing to. "You’re welcome Dusty".

"So, we’re just going to sit here" said Kodi "Yeah, Sarge is, or better be getting help" said Medic

Just then, Sarge came running out of the streets and to Medic, followed by Officer Prowler, who was young and in shape, then after a long time came the Chief came running out of the streets and finally cought up to Prowler and Sarge.

Prowler came up to the injured dog and took a look at her, then waited for his boss. When the Chief finally came, the Officer teased him by saying "You've been eating too much donuts, Chief" he joked.

"I haven't had... a donut since we... left the city" Chief said in between his hard breathing. "Yeah... 3 days ago" Prowler joked again.

 Sarge turned away from Medic, after he ordered to get help, and ran back to town. When he finally got to the Police Station, he leaped through the doggie door and began barking wildly.

"Sarge, what is it boy" yelled Chief Tack, who was behind the front desk. Sarge began scratching at the door and still barking, the Officer Prowler came in wondering from the living room after helping Officer John Drake move a couch and was wondering what's going on. "I think he found somth'in" said Prowler "OK, lead the way Sarge" Tack said standing up, and Prowler opened the door running after Sarge.

Sarge ran as fast as he could, but slow enough for Prowler to keep up because he knew the Chief would take forever. He was the first to reach Medic, Kodi and Dusty.

"There you are, another minute I would go in there and drag you out" Medic joked and Sarge chuckled "How is she?" asked Sarge. Before Medic or Kodi could answer, Officer Prowler came and bent down to take a look at Dusty.

"Oh man, nice welcome wagon" he said to himself. He got up and then came the Chief, breathing heavily. "You've been eating too much donuts, Chief".

After Prowler and Tack's discussion, Chief Tack picked up Dusty as careful as he can. "Joe, run back to the Station and call the vet" said the Chief as he began to carry Dusty to the Station with Medic, Sarge, and Kodi following.

Chief Tack walked in the Station and put Dusty on the front desk. There were blood stains on his Police uniform, Chief looked down at his uniform, "Aw man, where's the vet, I need to change" "He's on the way right now" said the Officer "OK, I'll be right back"

"Surprised that thing hasn’t ripped yet, fatty" Prowler yelled as the Chief left the room.

Medic sat at the corner of the room and looked out the window and saw dusk finally go away, and then sighed; it began to remind him of a terrible past. Then Kodi came and sat next to him. "Your sure she'll be OK" he said looking at Medic in a worried way.

Medic looked away from the window, then looked at Dusty who is on the front desk of the Police Station, then looked at the blood stains on his, and Kodi's fur from Dusty leaning on them. "You worry too much, like I said, it's only a few cuts and bruises" he said cocky way.

Sarge came and gave Medic their handshake and said "Yo, she dead yet" he joked "Nah, but that vet should be here any second now". After that Medic and Sarge began to talk about random things.

During their conversation, Kodi was watching Officer Prowler examine Dusty. Kodi began to feel a little strange, like a minor crap in the stomach area.

"Uh, nausea" he said to himself "Hey Medic, I just got a sudden case of nausea, any way to get rid of it" Kodi asked Medic.

"It's probably from all the excitement you just went through, try drinking water, that might help" Medic answered back. "Ah I'll live, I can't leave Dusty here" Kodi told him.

Just then the vet walked in carrying a bag full of medical supplies. He was about 50-60 years old wearing a simple dress shirt and jacket.

"Good day Officer, I'm Dr. Bill Henry who am I looking at today" the vet said talking to Officer Prowler. "Right here, sir" he said. The vet began to examine Dusty's wounds. 

Then walked in Officer Frank Knight and said to Prowler "Joe, Chief needs ya" "What, he needs help to put on his shirt without ripping it" Joe joked. "No, he wants you and John to organize the armory and the ammo" "Aw come’ on, I'm busy here" "Looks like the Doc has it under control" Frank said pointed to the vet as he was filling a shot container with the stuff to knock Dusty out.

Joe took a deep breath and left followed by Frank.

While Officer Prowler and Officer Knight were having their discussion, Kodi kept wondering what this feeling was, he kept thinking it was what Medic said, it's nausea, probably caused by all the excitement he witnessed within 30 minutes, but nausea doesn't make you take in more oxygen than normal, Kodi then began to think it was... 'Nah... I must be crazy to think that, but... NO, it's nausea and that's final' a voice in his head was saying.

"Hey Kodi, you alive over there" Sarge said to him on the other side of Medic. Kodi took his eyes of Dusty's tail that was hanging off the desk and looked at Sarge. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, a little sick in the stomach, but I'll live" Kodi said to them.

Then the vet opened his bag and began to fill a shot container. "Medic, is that the shot I'm thinking of" Kodi said in a worried voice.

Medic chuckled a little "I know what you’re thinking, that's not to kill her if that's what you’re wondering, that is to knock her out, Chill kid... go to sleep" Medic joked at the end. Sarge laughed at the joke.

'How can go to sleep at a time like this' Kodi thought. Then the vet stuck the needle into Dusty and she let out a faint yelp. The vet put his hand on top of her head to calm her down. Soon after, Dusty fell asleep.

"Ah, did I miss much" said the Chief as he walked in a simple dress shirt and tie. "She just fell asleep, some of these scratches are pretty deep, but none are infected, her back left paw is sprained however" said the Doc in a relieved type voice. "OK, do you think she will be back to normal?" asked the Chief "Yes but not until at least 3 weeks", "Do you know who she and that redhead's owner is" asked the Chief again "Yeah, they both belong to Mr. Simpson, he's the U.S Mail dog sled musher of the town" said the vet as he began to treat the largest scratches. "I'm going to pay him a visit, Medic, Sarge, you come’ in" yelled the Chief.

"Yeah, we should go, we can investigate the area where Dusty was attacked" said Sarge stretching his for-arms. "OK, you can stay here and watch for Dusty, we'll go and find any clues" said Medic just before they walked out. "Watch out for wolves, I heard there is a pack nearby" Kodi yelled "Wolves, Shmolves, I'll kick their butts any day" yelled Medic outside the door without looking back at Kodi.

Kodi took a deep breath and said to himself "He is way too cocky".

Chapter 4: The Investigation

8: 24 PM

 Chief Wayne Tack,  with his two Police dogs, Medic and Sarge following close behind were walking from the Police Station to the Post Office, which was two houses away. The Chief knocked on the door and Mr. Simpson opened.

"Chief Tack, what brings you here" said Simpson "Mr. Simpson, I have two of your dogs at my station, and I'm sorry to say that one of them have been attacked" The Chief said taking his hat off.

Mr. Simpson looked back at his dogs who are in front of a fireplace and noticed that Kodi and Dusty were missing "What gender was the one hurt?" asked Mr. Simpson knowing one is a female and the other was a male.

"Umm, a female, grey, I think blue eyes" said the Chief thinking about it a bit. "The injured one is Dusty" said Simpson putting on his
