Chapter 43
Owen

We follow the vet into an a exam room. He clothes the door and puts the cat carrier on the table.
  "Ok do you want to keep the animals name in the paperwork  Shadow, Magic and Midnight?" The vet asked.
  "Yes we can change it, if we need to later." I say.
  "Let me check the dogs first. Then I'll check the kitten. I'll do all shots at once. David Savage says in the notes recommends microchips. I do too. Its easier to get them back if they get lost. Lets start with Shadow." He said. He moves the kitten carrier to a seat. He then reaches down and picks up the husky and put her on the table. Poor Shadow don't look happy up there. He started with her eyes checking them. Checking ears. He gave her a complete physical. He wrote notes. He put her back down. She went immediately to Sang and put her body close as she could to her.
  He picked up Magic next and did full physical on her. Then put her back down. Then he got the kitten carrier and carefully took Midnight out. He checked her over. He then gives the kitten to Sang to hold. The kitten started purring and snuggling into Sang.
  "Ok the animals are healthy I dont see anything wrong. I do want to do bloodwork to be sure." He saids. I nodded and he started drawing blood. He just kneels down and  gets what he needs.
  "I'm going to do the test I can and send the blood to a lab. It be a few weeks depending on how busy they are. I'll be right back." He said as he walks out.
  "Well while hes out let us get introduce to our new family members." I say and kneel down  letting the dogs sniff me. I petted them. They seem to be very gentle and calm. Lot like Max. I petted the kitten. I'm not really a cat guy but its soft and cute. I get back on my feet when the vet came back in with papers. I went to him and he showed me the results.
  "Ok everything looks good. Here are the list of shots and also cost of the microchip, cost of the different options for heartworm preventions. I would like for Shadow and Magic to start taking joint supplements when they are a year old.  So in about 3 months. Magic can in 2 months but just start them same time. You can come back here or most big pet stores have them. You can also go online to those medical pet stores to mail them. You can setup where they ship like once a month or 2 . I'd also recommend everyone gets wormed." He saids.
   "Go ahead do everything. Yes microchip also. I'd like to schedule the kittens spay also. As much as kittens are cute we don't need a army of them. They would take over the world." I say and he agrees grinning.
  "Did Owen Blackbourne just tell a joke. I wish I was recording it." Sean joked.
The vet vaccinated everyone, microchips everyone. I pay the bill and we headed outside to the van. Sean gets in back with Sang and the animals. I get in the van. Then we head to the pet store.
   We get out with the animals and walk inside. Axle was looking at the large bird cages and bird perches. We walk over to him.
  "Hi guys. These are the biggest they have it. Would work for a night cage, but I want to get a bigger cage  I've seen before at the zoo. I'm going asks my friends if they can find out who builds their cages and enclosures. We will get this one for now. It will work. Also a couple of these perches. I also have a cart with food, treats, vitamins, and toys." Axle saids. He then petted the dogs. He went to find someone to get the cage and perches to the front.
   We found Raven and Corey in the cat section filling a cart with cats stuff. How many litterboxs, beds, treats and toys does 1 tiny kitten needs? I guess a cart load. As we walked up Raven sees us.
  "Look my Little Kitten, I found stuff for your tiny kitten. Look different collars. I like this hot pink one." Raven saids then hugs her and kisses her cheek. Sang points to the collar and nods. She pulls him down and kisses his cheek. He grins happily. Lucky man. Raven and Corey took the cart to the front.
   We find Kota, Nathan, North and Uncle at the pet food. They on their phones.
   "I say we go with this one online that's like human food. They use human grade natural ingredients. They can tailor it to each pets needs. They pack it in a days serving so you can feed what you want though out the day and not over feed. They can even go by your vet's recommendation if you animal needs say more vitamins or protein." Uncle was saying to Kota.
   "Yes but we need something now. It takes a while to get it. I say we get the fresh food in the refrigerator. It doesn't have all the fillers."Kota saids. We leave them there. They will figure it out. We head to the dog stuff. Everyone else was here with a couple of carts. A cart has large dog beds, and bowls and some toys. Another cart has dog training stuff, treats and more toys. They now was looking at collars. They all agree on a black collar for Shadow. A red one for Magic. They grabbed matching leashes. They saw us and show Sang. Then trying the collars on for fit. She kissed each of their cheeks. We all head to the front. Everyone was their. Kota had a basket with cold fresh food for dogs and cats.
  "l call the vet he said this was good for now and agrees with Uncle on the other food. But said to wait on ordering that until the blood results are in to see if they require any special dietary supplements to be added." Kota saids. I nod and the poor cashier looked bewildered by all the stuff.
   'I'm going to take Sang away so she doesn't see the girl cashier and have another panic attack. Maybe I  can get Uncle to go start making her some food. I want try her on a steamed chicken and vegetables. Shes had them in the broth." Sean saids as he leaves with Sang with the dogs following her no one even holding their leashes. I see Sean talk to Uncle and he nods and leaves with Luke and Gabriel.
  Sean stands with Sang by a machine that makes name tags. He points at different tags and Sang nods. He types on the keyboard. Then swipes his card. Sang watches with fascination at the window of the machine.
  As our stuff is scanned the young woman is flirting with me. Pushing her chest out. Can she not see I'm not interested. I think shes is scanning the items slowly on purpose. When shes finally done I pay. When she hands me my receipt there is a folded piece of paper with it. I walked away. When I looked I was angry, but also worried. I'm angry she would give me her name, number, and email address. I'm worried she would give it to the wrong person. So many crazy people out there. This kind of information who know what kind of predator are out there. I tell my guys to load everything and I had to do something. I went back and found a man in a nice pants and shirt. His tag said Manager Tompkins. I went up to him.
  "Sir can I talk to you in private a minute." I asked. He said yes and took me to the back to his office. I showed him the note.
  "I'm not trying to get her into trouble. But I'm worried she will give this Information to the wrong person and meet up with a stranger. She could get hurt and/or killed." I say. He nods and takes the note.
"Thank you, unfortunately girls see handsome men dressed up and spending money as someone that would take care of them and maybe they never have to work. You are right this could have turned out bad if she gave to a sick individual who like young wemon. I will have my female assistant manager talk to her and what could have happened. Thank you again for bringing it to my attention." He saids and leads me out.
   As I  was leave the store as I walk by the cashier she was flirting with another guy. I see a female with the Manager Tompkins  walk up to the cashier and talk to her. The Manager Tompkins took the receipt from her hands handing it to the guy. He gave a folded up piece of paper to the female with him. Must be his assistant manager. He got on the register as the female took the girl to the back. I head out the door and to the van. They were putting the big cage into the back of Axle's truck. They put stuff in everyone's trunks and back of the van. Did we buy the store out? We all get in our vehicles and head to Uncles.
  When we get there Kota saids to wait outside with the animals  until he brings Max out. Let the dogs meet outside. He bring out Max, and the 2 female dogs tuck their tails between their legs getting down like don't hurt me. Kota slowly brings Max closer. He sniffs the females then sniffs the kitten in her carrier. He wags his tail and lays down. I guess that's dog for ok come sniff me. The 2 females sniffed him then wag their tails. Max licks their faces and a 3 started to play Kota let Max go and told us to let the other go. The dogs ran around and rough played. Guess they are friends. Sang watched them clapping her hands and smiling. The 2 females would come over every few minutes and touch their nose to Sang's hand before running back to the others. Max must thought it was a game and started to come and touch her hand with his nose. The guys were taking stuff into the house. After 20 minutes I had Kota call Max in. The other 2 followed panting. They came to Sang and we went inside. Uncle put a large plastic white tub of water down on the floor of the kitchen near the door. The dogs all were drinking the water. We bring the kitten to Sang's room and got her out. We put a water bowl in a corner that was out of the way. She drank the water then shot into the other room to where Shadow was laying panting and layed next to her.
  Uncle puts three plates of steamed chicken and vegetables on the table for Sang, Sean and me. We ate. Sang ate about half of a half of her chicken and most of the vegetables.
We talked about the properties and all agreed to buying them. Me and Victor said we will buy the land and the others paying us back for their portions. We will all have a contract written with us all equal in ownership. I said I will call the lawyer.
  "Sean my boy when do you think I can introduce my brothers to Sang. They will not stop pestering me. Also with your land this property will be all of yours too. I've already have it in my will to go to you bunch." Uncle saids.
   "Uncle you only in your lower 40s. You be with us least until you are a 100 or more." Luke saids.
   "MrB I had an idea while at the rescue. David Savage is also Academy just not active right now. He was in a couple team but sounds like he wasn't wanting to go from friends to more and she found another boy to team with. I didn't go into detail. But told him we were trying to do teaching and clubs at the school to try improving it. I said if we can get the approval of Axle teaching zoology/ecology classes and club we would need animals. He said if we get approved to get with him. He has snakes, lizards, amphibians, small exotic animals." Victor saids.
  "Good idea. But we better be careful taking Miss animal tamer she probably bring a giraffe home next."I say.  Everyone laughs.
   "Uncle I don't see why they cant come meet her. If it gets to much one of us can take her into another room." Sean saids.
    "I was hoping you say a month so I don't have to share her yet." Uncle grumbles. We all laugh.
   "Talking of meeting. My dads want to meet my new team. They just worried about me." Jason saids.
   "As long as they understand about not talking about Miss Sang and understand about Sang might want to go into another room away from everyone. If Uncle is ok with it let's invite Uncle's brothers, Jason's dads, the Andersons, Dr Roberts if hes available, here for a cookout." I say.
  "I'm fine with it, but I really don't want to share my Sparrow yet but fine if I have to." Uncle saids.
   "Ok younger Mr Taylor, Mr Starlite, Mr Morgan, and Mr Korba to the warehouse store and get alot of chicken, burgers, hotdogs,and steaks. Also drinks, ice, chips , fries and other sides. Actually Mr Lee and Mr Griffin go also get eating stuff like plates and stuff. See if they can decorate a big cake or a couple. We celebrating  Mr Morgan, Mr Griffin, and Mr Colman getting emancipation and tomorrow their name change and Mr Starlite joining or team. Mr Lee ask your mom and sister if they would like to come. Mr Colman, older Mr Taylor  and Tomas team  set up outside up for the celebration and get the grill out. Let the team going shopping anything we need." I say and everyone got busy. I get up taking our dishes to the kitchen and start to clean up.
   "Boy I can clean up." Uncle comes in behind me.
   "You can yes, but you cooked for me, Sean, and Sang. Which was good. After tomorrow's court stuff. Get the boys on your restaurant project. I'm still figuring out the school assignment. We need to keep them busy. It be awhile before we get the land finalized. We need to get a educational plan for Sang. While the boys are working maybe you can start teaching her. Let Victor help as hes needs something to do and not feel like hes not doing anything with his hands." I say as I keep cleaning. I suddenly get a buzzing from my phone. I see its Dr Roberts and I answer.
   "Hi Dr Roberts what can I do for you?" I ask
   "Hi Owen before your cook out today can you meet us at the meeting place. Bring everyone. Uncle, The Andersons, Tomas, and your teams" he asked.
  "Yes can I ask why everyone sir?" I asked
   "Few things 1 we are dealing with Sam. 2 Mr Bubbles wants Sang there. 3 I think some changes going to happen with the Elders today." He saids last part very quietly. So someone is listening?
  "I understand sir. Do you want all of Uncle's team there?" I asked.
  "Yes and any friends in the Academy is welcome." He said. So bring back up or witness got you. I think.
   "We will be there in an hour. Also I need bring Miss Sang new animals. We going get them registered but already twice today they helped her during panic attacks.
  "Of course bring them. See you there then." He saids hanging up.
  "Uncle we going need get everyone who is friends with us to meet us at the Academy meeting location. 1 they going to deal with Sam 2 they want Sang there. 3 he said in a low voice that changes was about to happen with the elders. I think Mr Bubbles wants to take Sang from us. I don't know why." I say. I see him nod and get on his phone. I start texting also.
