And from the balcony, Sophie was allowed to see the training.

Just to watch how they were training their dogs and running with those heavy backpacks.

How did Sophie know that they were that heavy?

Well, let's just say that she had pleasure of being one of the few people who needed to actually get them ready for the trainees.. or.. be one of the assistants to help them got those things on.

Since Sophie had a chance of meeting them before, she mostly tried not to help them physically but just simply instructing what to do.

And she would be a liar if she would say that she didn't look at the dog she really wanted for herself.



"Merlin, let's be honest..." Sophie said standing behind the man and looking at the screen where all the trainees were running with their dogs.

"Don't even think about it, Richards." Merlin said observing the screen. Sophie rolled her eyes and crossing her hands continued:

"Come on, I really want a dog."

"We are not going to pay for your dog." Merlin said not even really putting any though in it.

"Fine. I don't know! Take away my flat, I can live here!" Sophie rambled.

"Don't make me treat you like a child, Richards. You do not need a dog." Merlin turned to her.

Sophie opened her mouth to speak, but Merlin continued:

"You were perfectly fine all this time, why now?"

"Ugh... I hate when you are right..." Sophie groaned and let her hands fall to her sides.

Merlin didn't answer anything to her, just turned back to the screens and continued his work.

"Can I at least play with them?"

"Richards." Merlin said sternly.

"Yeah, yeah. Not a child, I know." Sophie turned around and wanted to leave, briefly stopping to listen what else Merlin wanted to say:

"They are not my dogs, Richards. What happened the other day?"

"Whatever you mean?"

"With Charlie and others?" Merlin still was continuing his job. Sophie looked over her shoulder at him.

"Nothing. I took care of everything." Sophie answered shortly and went out.

"Don't interact with them, understood?" Merlin said before she could disappear behind closed doors.
