Is This The End? - Completed

Cleaning Up A Mess

"Mission is clear Sir" said a voice over the secure uplink "All personnel accounted for. Primary threat eliminated." "Great job, any casualties?" " Minimal injuries only Sir" "Great job, now get out of there before we start an international incident" "Roger that, Sir"

Rocky's eye's fluttered and he looked around. The others were sitting around in the galley of their boat. "Ghost! You're awake" yelled Lyons "Commander, he's awake!" A large Malinois came walking down the stairs. He stopped and looked over at Rocky as he sat up holding his chest. "Careful Ghost, is it?" said the Malinois "You took a full force shotgun blast to the chest, your body armor is all shredded to hell." "W-who are you?" asked Rocky "I'm noone, but you can call me Devil Ray or Commander Renoir which ever makes you feel better." "But who are you? Are you FBI?" "Ha! Hell no!" said Devilray "We might be a SEAL Team out of Coronado, but then again that would be an act of war for us to be in Mexico, so like I said we're noone and we were never here." "Well...Thanks!" "You're boys did a hell of a job, they fought till they ran out of ammo. Took a lot of those mangy mercs out before we came to help." "I left a packet I found somewhere, it's on your desk, you might want to read it." "What?" "Trust me, it's good news." With that Devil Ray went topside and stepped onto a waiting Zodiac and they rode off toward open water.

"What they hell was that?" Rocky asked the guys as he looked around. "Well it seems the "No One's" were watching and decide to come save our asses." said Lyons. "Lyon's was out of ammo and I was down to my last magazine" explained Daniel "We had made our peace with God and were ready to go down fighting. They showed up and Dam! their good!" "I didn't even get a chance to fight" laughed Nero "They threw a flashbang down the stairs and I was out. I thought I was dead for sure." "By the time we made it to the compound they were carrying you out. I thought you were dead looking at your gear" said Lyons "They told us that you took that shotgun blast and it would be a while before you woke" "I'll say it's been two hours" said Nero. "Anyway we ran upstairs and found what was left of Humdinger, did you do that?" asked Lyons. "No they did, I was flat on my back" explained Rocky "I thought I was dead." "Nope we came out of this better than expected to say the least" said Daniel. "It's finished! Let's go home." said Rocky turning back toward his room. "What are you going to do now?" asked Nero. "I don't know, hopefully I can find a way to clear my name. I'd really like to see my family again" said Rocky as he picked up the sealed packet left on his desk." He cut open the seal and pulled out the document, his heart stopped as he read. He gasp, "Are you OK..., Ghost?" the guys ran into the room.

Chase had made a miraculous recovery and was quickly taken off the ventilator. He was sitting up in his room when he heard a soft knock on the door. Chase looked up as Skye peeked in, "They said you were awake" "I am, please come in" Chase replied. Skye walked in and jumped up on the bed with tears in her eyes she spoke "I thought I'd lost you. I hated the thought of you dying and wondering how I felt." Chase interrupted "When I was shot you were the only thing I was thinking about. I need to tell you something Skye" "I Love You!" they both shouted at the same time. Both of them stopped and stared at the other. A smile formed on Chase's lips followed shortly by Skye smiling as well. "I don't know what took me so long, but you will never wonder again" said Chase. Skye rushed to Chase and jumped on him causing Chase wenice as she covered his muzzle with kisses. "Oh, sorry" Skye giggled. "It's ok" Chase said taking Skye face in his paws. Chase leaned in and kissed Skye deeply on her lips, Skye eyes went wide and then closed slowly as she melted into his kiss. Ryder and the other pups were walking into room. They all froze in their tracks, "Whoa!, You go dude!" laughed Zuma. Chase and Skye broke their kiss. Both immediately blushed the brightest red any of the pups had ever seen. "So I guess that answered my question Skye" laughed Ryder.

Nero read it out loud for the others. He looked over at Rocky who was visibly shaking. "Does this mean?" Nero gasp. "You're free Ghost, you can go home" said Lyons. Rocky cleared his throat "You can call me Rocky, and I'm a member of the Paw Patrol." They guys joined in a group hug, their mission had been successful the threat was no more. "Take us back to Foggy Bottom Nero" Rocky smiled. "Aye Aye Captain!" laughed Nero.

Thomas was standing at the door as the pups and Ryder were catching up with Chase. Chase looked over at Thomas, "What's our next move Sir?" "We're rapping up operations and we'll be heading back soon." "Heading back we still have to catch that bastard, he has to pay for what he's done." "Special Agent Chase, Our mission is complete. Once you're well enough, I'll brief you on the overall outcome. But let's just say a lot has happened while you were out."

"What about Humdinger?" asked Ryder "Won't he come back?" "No son, He won't. As a matter of fact Chase you might want to tell your friends your little secret. It seems he is headed back from an extended vacation." Chase's eyes went wide "What about the past?" "It's all been taken care of" said Thomas turning to leave "I'll speak with you soon."

The others all turned back to Chase "What secret?" asked Ryder. "Who's he talking about?" asked Zuma. Chase smiled "Guy's I think you all better sit down."
