Marshall and Chase: On the Skase!

(18) Jailbreak

Chase typed a bit on a laptop that was left in Ryder's Adventure City bedroom. He had managed to crudely connect Busby to the laptop through a collection of wires. He managed to connect that to the hologram map layout of Adventure City, and was working on accessing Busby's files to see how it worked.

Liberty and Marshall watched from behind as the police pup struggled.

He wasn't as much of a tech wiz as Rocky or Ryder. This was getting difficult. The Shepherd let out a growl to himself. He only had gotten so far as making the hologram appear.

Liberty peered over his shoulder, "Lemme see that."

"No, I think I got it." Chase, stubborn as ever, continued to try and fiddle with it.

The Dachshund raised an eyebrow, "You wanna see Skye today or next week?"

Taking a moment to think that question over, he soon passed the laptop to Liberty, who began typing on it.

Soon, she managed to access Busby's data.

"...How'd you do that?" Chase asked, in complete shock.

"I don't tell you guys everything about my life." She replied with a confident smirk, "Now what do you want to do with this?"

"See if it's connected to any of Sweetie's possessions."

After a few minutes, Liberty stood up as a small red blip appeared on the Adventure City hologram.

"Apparently, the thing that's connected to her toy is near... Here." Liberty squinted at the hologram, able to recall certain locations because of her vast knowledge of Adventure City, "But I've never seen this building before..."

"You do know where it is though, right?" Chase asked.

Liberty smiled, "You know it."

"Alright, you guys, let's gear up!" Marshall cheered, "It'll be nice to finally be back in clothing."

"You guys had clothing?" Liberty looked at the two pups, seeing that they had nothing but the broken pup tags and bandages on them. Marshall had his medical pup pack on, but the straps looked like they were going to snap at any moment, barely being held on by threads.

============

Skye, Jack, Siren, Grandpa, and Marcy met in front of Jack's doghouse.

"So, what's the plan Skye?" Jack asked.

"Me?" The Cockapoo asked, surprised.

"Were you not the one that brought this whole idea of an escape up?"

"Good point."

Skye thought for a moment, "Well, our main issue is that we can't leave this room, and the humans watching us only come in when taking our bowls in or out. Even then, they have a system for doing that, which prevents escapes."

Siren raised a paw, "So we would have to find a way for them to come in here instead?"

"Very good, Siren!" Skye gave him a kind smile, "That's exactly what we need to figure out!"

"And how would we do that?" Marcy inquired.

"Jack, Grandpa, I'd assume you two were here the longest. Is there any way humans come in if they're not taking bowls or giving us bowls?"

"Maybe when a dog dies..." Jack replied, "The humans are inhumane, but they at least have the sense to take dogs that die out of the rooms."

Grandpa raised a paw, "I could die."

"WHAT!?" Siren shot up.

"Relax, boy, it'll only be pretend." The Yorkshire Terrier gently patted his head, "If the humans come to get me, I could escape and get you guys a way out."
