Sammy, Ricky, Davy, and Lucy were a group of college students, lifelong friends, and animal lovers. Each of them was studying to go into a field that would involve working with animals. Sammy, who was hoping to open up a pet groomer and sitter making animals beautiful and well-behaved, Ricky, the strict but protective who was hoping to join a group canine unit someday to protect and serve the community, Davy, a heavier man than the others, wanted to get a degree in animal behavior to help adopt out animals from no-kill shelters, and finally, Lucy, being a natural at keeping animals calm, wanted to go into veterinary medicine. Sammy was looking to adopt something small for her new apartment, so she invited her friends to help with the adoption. Her friends had nothing better to do and joined her on her trip to this mysterious new pet shop.
While driving the car, Sammy looked over the GPS, letting her know she was just a few minutes from the shop. “Looks like we are nearly there; strange that it is so far away from everything?” she said mostly to herself. From the looks of things, they much be a good half-hour from the nearest town.
“The person running it, much enjoy his space away from people. Plus it looks like an excellent place to raise animals” Ricky, joined in as he sees the fields passing by the car window.
Lucy was taking pics and mini videos of the drive there, seeing as they been off of any paved road for a while now as the simple gray building came into view. “Seems like a pretty simple place? You would think a pet shop would be a bit more colorful?” Lucy chimed in.
“Well whatever this place is, i hope it has some snacks? Skipped breakfast to be here.” Davy the overweight man, complained as he rubbed his belly.
“Dude, we offered to buy food on the way here!” sammy shouted from the front as she drove across the empty lot and to the front of the store.
“Thanks for the offer but I don't trust dinner food that much.” Davy replied back
“Then why are you so fat!” shouted Ricky
“Shut up, your ruining my flow” Lucy screamed as she was trying to post something on soual media but cant get any bars on her phone. She’ll need to speak to a ref or something able this. “best phone network in the state my ass.” she thought to herself as the car came to a stop.
“Well, we are here so lets get onto the task at hand” Sammy clapped as she got out of the car and herded her friends into the pet shop. As they entered the shop, they all got a strange vibe. it looked like a regular pet shop, hands the ad poster, aisles were stocked with all kinds of pet items, and the place smelled like a pet shop. it also seems to have free sample bowls for the pet food and free-to-try animal toys around the place, and the "public restroom" and "public watering hole" seem to be newspaper laid down and water bowls around the shop.
“Well, whoever works here, has an interesting sense of humor about him?” Ricky said looking over the “public restroom” hoping no people used this instead of a real bathroom.
“I don't know, I think it's kind of cute,” Lucy said as she took a selfie with one of the displays in the front of the store. She wasn't sure why but she felt a bit more energetic, like she need to move about like a bee.
“Do you think the food aisle would have anything human-related?” Davy asked, looking over the sample bowls. For some strange reason he wanted to reach in and try one, must have been the long ride.
“This place is…kind of strange but we are here to adopt a pet and need to find the store's owner,” Sammy said getting everyone's attraction, used to the flaky nature of her friend group.
“Should we split up and cover more ground or stay together, Sam?” Ricky asked as he spotted a collar from a few aisles down, he wasn't sure why but it looked like something a professionally trained animal would wear.
Sam thought for a moment and…
