PAW Patrol: Blazing Avalanche || FF Book Three

(S1-C5) A Sea of Flames

Rebecca calmly looked around the lookout, taking in the surroundings around her that acted as the Paw Patrol's main base on missions. It was also where her two clients lived, Marshall and Everest.

"Ryder, do you know where my two clients are in the lookout?" She felt the need to ask, not seeing the Dalmatian or Husky in front of her.

"They might be up on the second floor of the lookout, they were here on the first floor before you got here."

Looking around once more, Rebecca noticed the elevator in the centre of the building with another automatic door.

"And I guess I just take that elevator up to the second floor?" She asked, not knowing the layout of the building.

Ryder nodded at that as he went into the elevator with Rebecca behind him. A few seconds later, the elevator began rising to the second floor, for once without any of the pups in it.

                               ————————
             Lookout - Second Floor 2:35 PM

"So Marshall, are you nervous too?" Everest asked as they both sat down on Ryder's bed once more. Both pups had left the first floor of the lookout before Rebecca got there and hadn't seen what she looked like, both of them trusted that she was kind but they were nervous.

"Honestly Ev, I am..." Marshall whimpered softly, laying down on the soft bed while he rested his head into his paws as another soft whimper came from his mouth.

Seeing this, Everest walked over to where the dally was on the bed and laid down next to him, her fur pressing lightly against his side, as she rubbed one of her paws down his neck and back in a particular way they both enjoyed.

"Well I am too if that makes anything any better, I'm here for you and you're here for me. We'll move forward together Marshy."

Everest's reassurance that came through her voice had helped Marshall a lot, but the soft rubbing of one of her paws down his neck and back was the cherry on top.

Just then, both Marshall and Everest heard two sets of footsteps coming their way, they immediately recognized one as Ryder, but there was someone else they didn't immediately recognize with how they walked, maybe it's Rebecca?

Their questions would soon be answered as the door knob to Ryder's room began to turn, the two pups staring forward.

As the two pups braced themselves to see whoever was with Ryder, they were relieved to see it was someone with a very calm expression.

"Hello you two, I'm Rebecca. Both of you must be Marshall and Everest, right?"

Marshall was the first one to look upwards toward Ryder as he felt the need to ask something. "Ryder what time is it?"

Ryder ran his left hand through his hair lightly as he answered this, did Marshall not know the time it was he trying to figure something out.

"It's 2:38 PM, why?" Ryder confirmed as he looked at his pup pad.

After this, Marshall looked downward slightly as Everest once again began rubbing his neck and back to comfort him, finding it reassuring on her end as well to feel her paw running through the fur of the love of her life.

"So you two, Ryder has told me a bit about what's been going on in your lives. For the sake of not causing any traumatic memories I won't mention what Ryder told me here and now, but I do need to ask, would you two like to have the first session here at the lookout or somewhere else?" Rebecca calmly asked, her hazel eyes reflecting the sunlight shining through the window of Ryder's bedroom. Both Marshall and Everest looked at each other as she said this with clear looks of hesitation and nervousness as they looked forward, Rebecca, having realized what's going on followed it up. "I'll give you both of you the time you need to think and collect your thoughts, but until then, I will be in the lookout so you know where to find me." She said as she walked out of the room, her footsteps going down the hallway as they approached the elevator.
