"Wait, Really?" Zuma asked excitedly. "Yup, no job is too big, no Pup is too small." Ryder said confidently. Then, his Pup Pad started ringing. "Ryder here." Ryder said as he answered the call. "Ryder, I don't know if this is an emergency, but something broke into the chicken coop, and stole all the feathers." The voice coming out of the Pup Pad said. Ryder, Rocky, and Zuma all turned to look at me. "Why are you looking at me?" I asked nervously. "Did you take the feathers out of Farmer Al's chicken coop?" Ryder asked me. "Yeah, I needed the feathers to make new arrows." I answered honestly. "OK, well this is still a good excuse for a training mission," Ryder said to me. "PAW Patrol, to The Lookout." Ryder pushed the button on his Pup Pad.

We all ran into the elevator, and up to the command room. "PAW Patrol, ready for action, Ryder, Sir!" Chase called out as everyone jumped into formation. "Why is Casey wearing Chase's spy equipment?" Marshall asked. "Thanks for coming, Pups, Casey took all the feathers out of Farmer Al and Farmer Yumi's chicken coop," Ryder said as the TV behind him displayed images of what he was saying. "So for this mission, I'll need Casey," An image of me appeared on the TV. "You'll use your new equipment to look for clues." Ryder looked at me. "I'll do my best." I said nervously. "And Chase," An image of Chase's Puptag appeared on the TV. "You'll go with Casey, and teach him how to use his new equipment." Ryder looked at Chase. "Chase is on the case!" Chase exclaimed. "Alright, PAW Patrol is on a roll!" Ryder yelled, before running to an odd metal pole, and sliding down into the floor. I followed Chase to the slide, and went down it. Once we landed in my new vehicle, Chase started teaching me how to drive it. "OK, that's the steering wheel, that's where you put your front paws while driving." Chase told me. I put my front paws on the steering wheel. "OK, now put your back right paw on the gas pedal." Chase told me. I put my back right paw on the gas pedal, and my vehicle started moving. "OK, just stay on the road, and follow Ryder." Chase told me.

I did my best to follow Ryder and stayed on the road, and an hour later, we arrived at the farm. "We're here, Farmer Al." Ryder said to Farmer Al. "Well hey, Ryder, who's your new pup?" Farmer Al asked. "What do you mean, 'My new Pup?'" Ryder asked angrily. "Ya know, since they're your property." Farmer Al answered nervously, shocked to see Ryder angry. "They are NOT MY PROPERTY!" Ryder yelled angrily. "Farmer Al, do you really think the PAW Patrol are Ryder's property?" A woman asked as she approached. "Yes I do, because that's the truth!" Farmer Al exclaimed. "Not according to the letter of the law." Chase said blankly. "Or the treaty." Ryder growled as he drew his knife. "Al, I want a divorce." The woman said angrily. "But, Yumi." Al said sadly. "Out." Yumi said angrily. Al walked off toward town.  Ryder put his knife away.

"OK, Casey, jump out of your vehicle, and let's get started." Ryder told me. I jumped out of my vehicle, and walked over to the chicken coop. "OK, for the sake of the training mission, pretend you didn't take the feathers." Ryder told me. I nodded, and started sniffing for clues until I find my scent. "Ryder, I found the thief's scent, they went this way." I said, running into the woods. "Alright, let's go." Ryder said as he and Chase followed me. I followed the scent until Ryder spoke up. "Uh, Casey, maybe try using your gear?" Ryder asked me. I barked out my visor, and the paw prints I was following lit up. "Ryder, the trail of paw prints are glowing." I said in astonishment. "That's great, you're doing so well." Chase said happily. "OK, let's head back to Yumi's farm." Ryder told us. We headed back to Yumi's farm.

"Why did Farmer Yumi get upset when Farmer Al called us your property, Ryder?" Chase asked. "She's a werewolf too." I said. "Wait, what?" Chase asked as he looked at me in confusion. "I can smell it on her, just like I can smell the blood on Ryder's fur, and the gun in that Goodway lady's purse." I answered. "Mayor Goodway has a gun?" Chase asked in utter confusion. "Well, we've walked far enough, let's head back." Ryder told us. We all walked back to Yumi's farm.

Once we got there, Ryder and Yumi started talking. "Did you find the thief, Ryder?" Yumi asked. "Yeah, Casey admitted to taking the feathers for arrows." Ryder answered, pointing at me. "Oh, you're a werewolf too, I take it?" Yumi asked me. "Yes, ma'am." I answered. "Well, its nice to meet you." Yumi said happily. "Its nice to meet you too." I said nervously. "I figured this would be a good training mission for him." Ryder said. "Well, OK then, good luck, Casey." Yumi said to me as she walked away.

"Alright, Casey, head over to your vehicle, and bark out your drone." Ryder told me. I walked over to my drone. The drone extended out of the vehicle, and launched itself out of it's holster. "Now, hop up to the control panel in the back." Ryder told me. I hopped up to the control panel. "OK, the green ones control the speed, pitch and steering of the drone, left for speed, and right for pitch and steering." Chase told me. "Alright, Casey, send your drone for a few laps around the farm, and let's see how you do." Ryder told me. I put my paws on the controls, and did a few laps around the farm with it. "You're doing great, Casey, now see if you can seat it back in your vehicle." Ryder told me. I carefully flew my drone back into it's holster, and it slid back into my vehicle. "You did great, Casey, now let's head back to The Lookout." Ryder said as he climbed onto his ATV. Chase and I jumped back into my vehicle, and we all drove back to The Lookout.
