Rocky jumped into his vehicle. "Get in." He said. "Aright," I said, getting into Rocky's vehicle. Then Rocky made his vehicle move. "What is this this thing? How did you get it to move?" I asked Rocky, scared out of my mind. "This is my Recycling Truck, and I've got my paws on the controls." Rocky answered. "Now, which way should we go?" He asked me. "North. Its not too far," I answered. "And with your Recycling Truck, we should get there quickly." I said, as the truck started heading north.

Five minutes later, we arrived at my former home. It was scorched to The Void. The first thing Rocky and I noticed was our Father's corpse. "By The Void, Father!" I yelled, running to the corpse. "I WILL find who did this, and I will avenge you." I whispered to my Father. I immediately switched into my Canine Form, and started looking for his gun. "Casey, what happened here?" Rocky asked me. "A fire, started by a filthy heartless Human," I answered. "Next thing I knew, I was waking up where Ryder, Chase, and Marshall found me." Rocky looked at me with tears in his eyes. "I'm so sorry this happened to you," He said to me. "Who would've done this?" He asked. "I don't know," I answered honestly. "Let's gather what we can, and get back to the others." I started sniffing around, looking for our Father's gun. "So, what should we look for first?" Rocky asked me. "Our Father's gun," I responded, not taking my nose off the task at hand. "Most dangerous thing out here." Rocky gasped. "Well, we'd better find it quick," He said nervously. "Ryder, Casey, and I are at their old campsite, looking for our Father's Gun," Rocky said, talking to nothing. "We could use a few more noses to help find it." Then Ryder's voice came from Rocky. "Alright, Rocky, we're on our way." Ryder's voice said. "Where's Ryder? you were just talking to him." I said, confused. "Oh, I called him on my Pup Tag." Rocky said, confusing me further.

Eight minutes later, the others show up. "We're here, alright, everyone, fan out, and search the area. We can't let anyone else find that gun." Ryder commanded everyone. "I found it!" I announced, digging up the gun. "Now that it's secure, let's see what else is left." I said to myself. "What was that, Casey?" Rocky asked. "Oh, just talking to myself." I answered. I ran grab the wood and leather working tools. "Ryder, this place looks like it was burned down 3 months ago." Marshall said. "THREE MONTHS?! I LOST THREE MONTHS?!" I yelled, after putting the wood and leather working kits, the syrup making stuff, the kitchen stuff, and the case of ammo next to Father's gun. "What happened to me?" I sobbed. Then I suddenly found myself in Ryder's arms. "Its gonna be OK, Casey." Ryder said, stroking my back comfortingly. "Now, how are we going to transport the corpse?" He asked. "Rocky, can you build your Father a coffin out of stuff in your truck?" Ryder asked, looking at Rocky. "Green means go!" Rocky yelled. "Rubble, can you bring the coffin back to the PAW Patroller, once we get Crosshair's corpse in it?" Ryder asked, turning to Rubble. "Rubble on the double!" Rubble yelled.

Rocky got to work building Father's coffin, using his weird backpack to saw, hammer, and drill the wood to make Father's coffin. I could only look on in amazement. "Woah, that's one cool backpack you've got on, Rocky" I said to my brother, amazed. "Thanks, Casey, its just my Pup Pack," Rocky replied. "Every member has one." Rocky turned to where was standing. "OK, Ryder, the coffin's done," He said loudly. "Now we just have to get him in there." Ryder turned to us. "Alright, Good work, Rocky," Ryder said. "Rubble, can you help me get Crosshair's coffin to the PAW Patroller?" Rubble came over with his vehicle, and Ryder put Father's coffin in the shovel looking part in the front. "Now, how are we going to get everything else back to the PAW Patroller?" I asked, just then my left hand started glowing, and sucked the pile into itself. "Well, problem solved, I guess." I said, confused. I tested the magic in my left hand by summoning Father's gun, then putting it back in my hand. After that we all went back to the PAW Patroller.
