A few minutes later, Ryder came back with eight food bowls. I summoned my ladle, and poured some stew into each one. Ryder pulled out his Puppad, pulled out the extension. "Pups, wake up, Casey made breakfast." Ryder said, pushing the call all Pups button. The others came running toward us. "When did you build this?" Chase asked me. "I couldn't sleep last night, so I did this." I answered, motioning to the kitchen I set up. "What's for breakfast, Casey?" Rubble asked hungrily. "I made a simple stew." I said as I changed back into my Pup Form. "Uh, Ryder, are you gonna eat like us?" Skye asked, staring at the extra bowl. "Yeah, my therapist is coming over later, I've made appointments for me and Casey." Ryder answered as he changed into his Wolf Form. 

"You see a therapist, Ryder?" Marshall asked, worried about Ryder. "Yeah, she was part of the CLF." Ryder answered, his voice shaking. "What's the part you're not telling us, Ryder?" Chase asked sternly. "You really wanna know, Marshall?" Ryder asked, looking at Marshall. "Were you ordered to protect me from that, too?" Marshall asked bitterly. "No, of course not." Ryder answered honestly. "Then, please, tell me." Marshall said sternly. "OK, Dr. Porter is your mom." Ryder said, bowing his head. "Porter, as in Mr. Porter and Alex?" Zuma asked in surprise. "Yeah, Alex and Marshall are twins." Ryder answered honestly, blushing deeply. "WHAT!?" Everyone but Ryder and I shouted. "I'm a Werewolf mix, like Rocky and Casey?" Marshall asked, amazed. "Yup." Ryder said. "When were you planning on telling the rest of us about our families?" Chase asked angrily. "When were you gonna ask?" Ryder asked, growling. "Chasey, eat." Skye said, pushing Chase's bowl in front of him. Chase starts eating. "Thanks for cooling thing down, Skye." Zuma said, starting to eat as well. With that, everyone started eating.

A few minutes later, everyone finished eating. "So, how was it?" I asked. "That stew was pretty good, Casey." Rubble answered. "Thanks, Rubble" I said, wagging my tail. "Where did you learn to cook?" Rocky asked. "Father taught me." I answered honestly. "Casey, Dr. Porter will be here in a few minutes." Ryder said. "OK, Ryder." I said. "So, what's everyone gonna do during Ryder and Casey's therapy sessions?" Rubble asked. "I'm gonna take my good Chasey puppy for a walk." Skye answered, walking off into The Lookout, with Chase following her. "I've got a date with Everest." Marshall answered, running to his truck. "Hey, Wocky, wanna go to the beach on our fiwst date?" Zuma asked Rocky. "OK, Zuma." Rocky answered hesitantly, following Zuma to their vehicles. "You wanna watch TV with me?" Rubble asked me. "What's TV?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. "Come on, I'll show you." Rubble said, walking toward The Lookout. Ryder and I followed Rubble into The Lookout.

"This is a TV." Rubble said, pointing at the TV. "Why would anyone watch a black whatever that is?" I asked, confused. "Here, I'll show you." Rubble said, turning on the TV. The image was a white dog in a blue and yellow outfit, and the image moved. "Moving pictures?" I asked in surprise. "Yeah, didn't you have TV where you grew up?" Rubble asked, confused. "I grew up in the forest, remember?" I asked honestly. "Oh, yeah, anyway, let's watch." Rubble said, turning to watch the TV.

A few minutes later, a vehicle pulled onto The Lookout's pathway. "Someone's coming." I said cautiously. "That must be Dr. Porter." Ryder said, looking at the door. The Lookout's door opened, and a woman walked in. "Hey, Dr. Porter." Ryder said to the woman. "Hello, Cerberus." Dr. Porter said to Ryder. "Dr. Porter, why did you call Ryder, 'Cerberus?'" Rubble asked, confused. "Cerberus is the same as Jane/John Doe are for Humans, also there are three of him in there." Dr. Porter answered Rubles question. "How does the Government not know your name, Ryder?" Rubble asked, even more confused. "My parents must've had the only copies of my papers." Ryder answered. "Now, let's start your therapy session, Cerberus." Dr. Porter said, pushing Ryder into the elevator. "That was weird." I said, staring at the elevator. "Whatever, let's watch TV." Rubble said, turning back to the TV. 

I watched TV with Rubble until I noticed something strange about the white dog. "Except for the missing spots, that guy kinda looks like Marshall." I observed. "Yeah, you're right." Rubble said, staring deeper into the TV. We continued to watch TV in silence until the TV went black with white text, and stopped. "Does that control the TV in some way?" I asked, looking at Rubble, and pointing at the odd stick under Rubble's paw. "Yeah." Rubble answered, looking back to the TV. "Hayden Everflame as Apollo The Super Pup." I said, reading the text on the TV. "Wait, didn't Ryder say that was Marshall's Dad's name?" Rubble asked, staring at the TV in confusion. "I remember Ryder saying that." I answered as the text on the TV started moving again. "Should we tell Marshall what his dad is doing?" Rubble asked. "This might be the information Ryder's protecting him from." I answered honestly. "What do you suggest, then?" Rubble asked angrily. "I suggest we tell Ryder what we found." I answered calmly. "THEN, WHAT?" Rubble yelled angrily. "Then, we follow his orders." I answered, getting annoyed with Rubble. "Fine, let's tell Ryder, after his therapy session." Rubble said, looking back to the TV. Rubble and I watched TV in silence until Ryder and Dr. Porter came back down the elevator.
