Justin arrived home. It was a long drive back, but he was glad to bring something back for the "gang". A whole bunch of bananas for Sophie, a whole bag of shredded chedder for Portia, a cheap kids princess crown for Annie, a bag of dog food for Lucy, and new pairs of clothes for Laura.
"Laura? Sophie? Lucy?"
Justin saw Lucy pace through the wet corridor. She wanted to help out, but her master said that she couldn't go past that gate.
"Lucy?"
Lucy's ears perked up and ran up to greet her new master.
"Hello! *arf*"
"Ummm... Where's the rest of the group?"
Lucy's tail stopped wagging and her ears drooped.
"Master went *arf* missing because Annie said another *bark* name of an animal... well..."
"Well?"
"Annie *woof* said the name of *arf* an insect. A fly *arf*"
Justin felt his whole body seize up with anxiety.
"We have to find them, quickly. Follow me!"
