Pet Enclosure

15- The Search

After the medicine had been given to Ro, he fell into a deep state of exhaustion. He fought to try and stay awake as his body finally relaxed after working in overdrive to try and get the poison out of his body. He couldn't fight his drooping eyes.

Pooli, the viopell that had just purchased the small human, smiled at the sound of the peaceful snores that Ro was letting out. They had just arrived at his home which was only a couple planets away in the same star system.

He then put the human in a cage. If Ro woke up and was startled by his new surroundings he could hurt one of his other two pets or himself.

His twin jiffegs quickly trotted over to Pooli when he set down the crate in their enclosure. The jiffegs had smooth skin that shimmered due to the miniscule velvety fur that covered them, they were both a pale lilac color with a fluffy head of dark blue hair that matched the color of their fluffy cotton ball tails. Their curious green eyes tried to prod their way into Ro's crate, but Pooli quickly distracted them with a treat that he threw across the yard.

They scampered off to retrieve it as Pooli quickly stepped out of the enclosure while they were distracted.

"I'll have someone come back and introduce them when they bring their dinner. The human will likely be awake by then." He told himself.

Cabbexev and Kaneor had immediately boarded Cabbexev's space shuttle upon arriving back at their home to search for Ro and the yoliz jijiil who had taken him to get healed.

"Lercix?" Kaneor asked hesitantly.

"Yes?"

"Are you mad that I couldn't protect Ro?"

"No I'm not." Kaneor relaxed slightly before tensing at Cabbexev's next words. "But I am angry that you went outside where I couldn't keep you protected, when you knew you shouldn't."

Kaneor let out a little whine of worry for having disappointed his lercix.

"You will have a punishment, but it will be after we find Ro." Cabbexev said in a calm tone.

"Do you think he's ok? What if we don't find him? I can't smell him anymore..." Kaneor asked.

"We'll find him Kaneor. And I'm sure he's fine."

Cabbexev and Kaneor spent the next half hour looking in different doctor's offices looking for the jijiil and little Ro along with him. Cabbexev was starting to get frustrated when they walked into the tenth establishment. When they walked in Kaneor immediately jumped away from Cabbexev yelling out.

"Ro! I smell Ro!!"

Cabbexev's gaze swept around the room as he didn't feel Ro's energy presence. He saw the jijiil sitting in the corner with another young alien chatting together and laughing.

His presence suddenly became domineering and the two quickly noticed him as he smoothly walked over to them. Tyker immediately stood and rushed over to Cabbexev as Kaneor nervously sniffed around the room.

"G-gara Cabbexev. What are you doing here?" Tyker stuttered out. The jijiil obviously remembered the important Gara that had visited his village.

"You had a young human with you recently. He is my pet, who escaped. Where is he?"

"Fuck." Tyker whispered under his breath. "I didn't know h-he was yours Gara. If I had kno–"

He was cut off as suddenly Cabbexev was in front of the man holding the collar of his shirt in a bruising grip.
