Chase looked at the floor. It was a puddle of crimson red blood, fur, bullets and gear. It had a strong smell of alcohol. He sighed and called in detectives to see what happened. As much as he would like to stay he would get kicked off of the site immediately. "I swear I'm gonna become a detective." Chase mumbled as he made his way off the rooftop.

Chase opened the door and he wasn't pleased at all. The paw patrol, puppies, and criminals decided to take advantage of the lookout while it was unsupervised. "I'm going to ask once.... what happened here?" Chase said taking a deep breath to cool his anger. The pups already knew what it meant. "Alrighty guys fun is over." Skye joked.
Chase look over to see Tuck and Ella as well. "You guys too?" Chase groaned. His only question is where is Ryder.
Chase watched as the everyone started to clean up. Marshall was clearly distressed. "You okay buddy?" Chase asked.
"Yeah.... I just needed to space to breathe. The lookout is a handful when nobody listens." He replied patting Chases back. "Anything new?" Chase asks.
"Now Everest is child sick." He added.
Chase almost jumped back. "Conversation for you two." He replied with a nervous chuckle. "Eh I know." Marshall said.
Chase coughed. "You two have did the thing right? Just not fully." Chase nervously asks.
Marshall tilted his head in confusion. "What thing?"
"Know what never mind, just let time tell." Chase said dropping that conversation. Or he thought. Zuma jumped in between them. "Marshall he meant mating" zuma said with a smirk.
Marshall's face grew concerned. "Ew why would you wanna know that?" He replied.
Chase tried to find a reasonable response. "You seemed pretty uncomfortable with the child sick thing so I just wondered. Plus I would know if someone did it or not." Chase said regretting that last part.
Zuma turned his head to Chase. "What?!?"
Chase shrugged. "It has a certain smell. It's what attracts females." Chase replied trying to give evidence on why he knows it. "A-and I know the smell of other things as well. Some are unpleasant like the one we're talking about." Chase added.
"I'm so confused where did you learn this?" Marshall asked.
"Training....you can't think I'm weird, you probably had to do some uncomfortable things in you're training as well." Chase said knowing he wasn't the only one guilty.
"Yeah but I learn that stuff to save a life." Marshall defended.
"What do you think I do?" Chase fired back.
Zuma noticed they were kinda raising the tone. "Can you two be any louder?" He sarcastically said.
They both stopped their argument and realized Zuma was right. "Great thing about us is that we're the most mature." Chase said to Marshall who nodded. "Also the least fun." Zuma added.
They both stared at Zuma with very blank expressions. "Still mature." Marshall mumbled paw bumping Chase.
"Alright! alright! We each have our treats right?" Rubble exclaimed to the other members of the paw patrol. They all nodded. "Alright everyone pick a representative" rubble ordered. The representers were the new pups. They each picked one pup. "The winner gets everyone else's treat." Rocky smirked. The criminals, Skye and Everest watched hoping they didn't lose their treat. They were betting on which pup could come out victorious in a wrestling match.

Gasket mumbled to herself. "Thrill, glory and bullshit! You work with the police don't you!" She exclaimed getting a little heated. "What do you want from me?" Trusty nervously asked.
Gasket didn't acknowledge his question. "I can give you money! Information! Anything you want." He offered in fear of his life. Gasket turned around. "You already took everything! My work was in that mansion you guys simply burned it all!" Gasket yelled. She inhaled and calmed herself down. "Look.... I put something inside of you. Pretty sure if you look down you'll see the cut. Did it while you were out. I have this button here. I press this you'll die 30 minutes after. Slowly as well. So you are going to get me you're other friends." Gasket explained. Trusty looked at her and noticed that she was clearly messed up internally. Her fur was messed up, bags under her eyes, smelt like beer, and visible tear marks. "Never....." he replied.
Gasket held up the button. "Okay okay.... I'll get them." He said changing his mind. "How long have I been out?" He asked.
"2 days. Now hurry before I push this button out of boredom." Gasket threatened.
1:32 AM.
Trusty stood in front of his friends house. He gulped before opening the door with his key. He snuck around to the bedroom where he peacefully slept. He slowly puts his paws around his neck and squeezes as hard as he can. Very soon they started rolling around. "This hurts me a lot more that it hurts you." Trusty grunted struggling to keep his grip. Blackout manages to the escape the grasp and see who his attacker is. He saw Trusty for a split second before trusty hit him on the head with a vase. Blackout was on the floor and Trusty jumped onto him and started to punch him as hard as he could. "Gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep gotosleep" trusty repeatedly said.
He stopped thinking he was done but blackout managed to push him off. Trusty sighed and went for another choke.
Soon after he could feel blackout slowly growing weaker from lack of air. They both dropped to the floor. "Nice work. You get the girl and I'll deal with Chase." Gasket said before speedily walking out. They were losing the night. "You were watching and didn't help?" He asked. He was ignored and sighed.

Gasket was on the bridge and noticed two very familiar people walking on the bridge. She turned and walked away knowing the lookout was waking up already. She decided to see how Trusty was doing. Walking into the lookout is asking to get caught. Breaking into the lookout isn't very fun.

Glass shattered as Trusty fell through a glass door. "Why are you doing this?" Rose asked. She didn't want to beat up one of her close friends. Trusty got back up. "I don't have a choice." He mumbled. Gasket walked in and Trusty lowered his head too ashamed to even look up. "Look....You're a female dog so I can call you a bi-
"You..." Rose mumbled taking a step towards Gasket. "Don't move.... one more step and you're friends go away for good." Gasket chuckled. "You maniac! Are you insane?" Rose questioned. "I'm starting to think I'm insane." Gasket agreed. Rose grunted knowing Gasket had her beat.

Rocky dropped a bit of blue liquid into Ryder's blood. He watched as the blood went from chunky to liquidy once again. "WOOOOOO! WHOS A GENIUS? I AM!" He exclaimed as he got up and did a little dance. "Rocky? What are you yelling for? You're going to wake everyone up." Skye mumbled tiredly.
He stopped. "....sorry.... I just found a cure for this thing that can kill people. I'm sure Ryder will be glad to hear about this." Rocky replied. Skye blew air out of her nose. "I'm not sure how impressive this is but if it makes Ryder impressed it's gotta be good." Skye replied giving him a kiss right on the muzzle. Rocky gave one back and they held it for awhile. "Ew get a room you two." Everest replied with a fake gag.
Rocky put a paw up to shush Everest. She rolled her eyes and walked back down. They let go of the kiss for air. "Was that the longest kiss?" Rocky jokingly asked. Skye rolled her eyes and playfully pushed Rocky. They laid down right where they stood and fell asleep.

Ryder got up and sighed knowing they would probably eat and entire bag of dog food in one day. He started counting in his head the amount of dog there were. "The original 6 plus the 3 criminals and add 1 for Everest.... that's 10.... then the 5 puppies that's 15..... damn..." he mumbled to himself. All of this because of Gasket.
He poured everyone's bowls and Rocky ran down to show him the breakthrough. "Okay.... I did it!" Rocky excitedly whispers. Ryder was all ears and followed him upstairs. Ryder sighed as he gave himself another cut on the finger and squeezed out the blood into a cup.
He put on some gloves and squished the sphere and watched the little liquid go to work clotting up the blood. Rocky got the right amount of his blue liquid and dropped it in. Ryder watched as it quickly started to undo the effects of the purple liquid. "Wow.... I'm at a loss for words. You actually did it." Ryder complimented.
"Did what?" Sweetie asked from behind.
"Come look for yourself." Rocky cockily replied. Sweetie walked over to see free moving blood instead of clotted blood. She slowly nodded. "Impressive.....*cough* I already had the antidote back at my house I just wanted to see if you could do it." Sweetie laughed. Rocky rolled his eyes. "Atleast I did it." He replied trying to be optimistic about something.
Ryder went back down the stairs to find everyone finishing up eating already. "Wow.... you guys are getting crazier and crazier." He mumbled.
"You know, I was working with a team and they all managed to get kidnapped.... last night...." Chase said from behind in his usual police attire. He let out a sigh. "And I have to go find them." He added.
"I have a pretty decent plan....I'll get it ready, I'll explain it once I've thought it out more." Ryder replied. "Stay safe and if things do go south just press the pup tag and it'll send a signal. When you get back I'll have everything set." Ryder added making sure things don't go south last second. They got her base, he has an antidote, and now Gasket is done for. Ryder started to think of their success.
"You know this whole thing is almost over. Gasket basically has nothing." Ryder said to Dwayne and Hubcap.
Dwayne looked at him. "You can throw me back in jail for all I care. I just want to see Gasket behind bars. Would be better if I could stop her myself." Dwayne replied angrily. Hubcap had a different reaction. "I'm going to move out of town, get a job, and live a happy rest of my life." He said.
"I'm going to do the usual. Just listen this time though." Sweetie simply replied and went back to reading something.
"Why are you reading? That's like.... a Rocky or Ryder thing to do." Rubble asked walking up to her. "Hey!" Rocky shouted from behind.
"Because its fun. Now shoo off I'm almost done with it." Sweetie said. Rubble walked away muttering things under his breathe.

The next day
Chase knew what the plan was. He wasn't a fan of it at first but it was the fastest way to stop Gasket. He wasn't actually carrying anything useful. He wore a durable material that is hard to penetrate with sharp objects. Made by Ryder himself. Chase went towards his general area. He also had a syringe with Rocky's antidote and a tracker. The plan was to willingly give himself up so Ryder can track him. Chase stood on a building and waited. He knew they would come for him. It was just a matter of when. It reminded him of the story of the Trojan horse. He's the horse and everyone else are the soldiers.
