Paw Patrol: Separate Ways

(S-1 FINALE) Chapter 7 "I Swear..."

(Disclaimer: Mature Language)

Hours passed as the pups slept soundly in their pup houses, Chase sat silently in his, wide awake and ready for what he was going to do.

The pup opened a bag and left it on the floor, throwing in various items in there, such as small snack packs, a small blanket, and the pendant.

The pup was ready to do the hardest decision he ever faced.

He opened his door and caught a glimpse of his pup tag, next to a picture he had with Ryder and the rest. The Shepherd gave it a thought and decided to grab the picture rather than the pup tag, he didn't want any of the pups following him.

Chase walked away from the Lookout and turned to face it, giving a salute to everyone there, the pup sighed and left, heading towards the train station.

By the time the pup reached the train station on foot, the sun was beginning to rise, around that time, the train itself came around back to Adventure Bay.

"All aboard to Boroughton!" The conductor yelled out as some pedestrians entered the train along with Chase.

Chase walked along the train car and hopped in a seat, placing his bag next to him.

"Attention everyone, we'll be moving to Boroughton in about ten minutes, for now just relax and enjoy some music to pass the time as we prepare for the trip." The conductor said over the speaker.

The pup sighed as he waited for the train to start moving, he glanced out the window to pass the time but heard a voice call out to him.

"Chase?"

The Shepherd looked over and saw who it was, it was Katie.

"Hey, Katie." Chase greeted in a depressed tone.

"What're you doing here?" Katie asked as she grabbed a seat next to Chase.

The pup lowered his ears as Katie slowly figured out what the pup was doing.

"Chase, what happened? You can tell me, I'm your friend." Katie said with a worrying tone.

Chase didn't want to tell Katie but he had to let someone know.

"It's...it's something I gotta do on my own, I can't bring Ryder or the pups in it because it's not their problem to handle, it's mine." Chase stated.

"You didn't tell them anything?" Katie asked.

"If I did, they would've done anything to not let me handle it, they would've just told me to leave it. That's the problem they don't understand." Chase replied.

"This problem, is it...illegal? Something dangerous?" Katie asked.

"Something like that, that's why I won't involve them, I don't want them getting hurt because it'll be my fault and I won't be able to live with it." Chase answered solemnly.

Katie looked at the pup who looked away in shame.

"I know, it's selfish." Chase gloomed.

"I don't think so, you're taking things into your own hands and you didn't want them to be apart of it because of what might happen, that's not selfish Chase, that's courageous, it's something you would do." Katie stated.

"Thanks, Katie." Chase smiled.

"No problem, you're my friend, you know I—." Katie was cut off by her phone ringing.

It was Ryder.

As the sun was beginning to light up the Bay, Ryder awoke from his slumber, stretching and putting on his slippers as he made his way to change to his usual outfit. After some time, the boy zipped up his jacket and made his into the elevator.
