Five days after the emergency meeting, Duke was padding along the sidewalk. His nose sniffed the air constantly, searching for a scent. Meanwhile, clouds began blotting out the sun's light, indicating that a storm was brewing. Turning left into an alley, the giant dog was suddenly jumped on from behind. Before he could react, a voice whispered, "Looking for me?"

Sky nodded her head slowly. Taking a deep breath, Duke continued, "Well, he's got a gang who want to take over the city. Do you think it's possible that you could move into the alley near the apartment building?"

Sky tilted her head, her tail no longer wagging. "Please," Duke begged, "I don't want you getting hurt." Stepping forward, Sky licked his cheek as she whispered, "Don't worry, I'll move. At least we'll be closer to each other." With that, she nuzzled him lovingly. Duke let out a sigh of relief.
