Search For Loved Ones-A Paw Patrol Story

Chapter Five

Ryder and the Paw Patrol were on the road following the army trucks for a couple of hours. The Paw Patroller used solar energy instead of gasoline so they can on for hours, and it was better for the environment.

"Where are we going?" asked Rubble.

"I'm not sure yet," replied Ryder. He pulled up a map of the area around them on the big screen. He walked up to the screen.

"Robo-Dog, show our location and where we have been," Ryder told the robotic canine. Robo-Dog barked and obeyed Ryder. From the spot where Adventure Bay was marked on the map, a blue arrow went down the map to a location in the middle of nowhere.

"We are this arrow right here. If we continue on this road, we should be heading straight to this city right here," explained Ryder pointing another city on the map.

"Can the army trucks go down another road?" asked Marshall.

"Unlikely, because there aren't any other roads here. Not even any dirt roads leading somewhere else."

"Robo-Dog," said Chase. "Place the tracking device on the map." Robo-Dog obeyed this order. A red dot appeared further down on the same road.

"Good thinking," commented Rocky.

"Thanks, now let's see here," Chase continued. "Robo-Dog, calculate the speed of both vehicles."

A number appeared above the arrow and the red dot, followed by a "mph" or "miles per hour," indicating that it was the speedometer of both vehicles. They both read ninety miles per hour. The army truck was near one of the cities, but Chase new that wasn't the destination.

"The army trucks aren't stopping at the city," he announced.

"How do you know?" asked Zuma. Chase looked back and Zuma. Zuma was sitting next to Rocky. They both had confused looks on. They are both extremely smart, but when it came to detective work, they still needed practice. Chase realized that this is the perfect time to teach them like he promised to. He could even start at that moment.

"You see, Zuma," explained Chase. "Do you notice how they are pretty close to that city?" Zuma nodded. "Well, if they were going to stop, they would be slowing down. Since they are still going at ninety miles an hour, You can figure out that they are not planning on stopping."

"Oh, I see," said Zuma.

"I got a question," said Rocky. "If they are not planning on going to this city, then where are they going?"

Chase thought about it. "That is a good question, Rocky. Robo-Dog, locate every road on this map."

Robi-Dog barked in response. Since he was connected to the Paw Patroller, he didn't need to press any buttons to follow orders or make things happen. On the map, white lines started to appear everywhere.

"They will probably be going to the next city down this road," explained Ryder. "In that city, there is two abandoned military bases. They might be using those as their main headquarters."

"Robo-Dog," said Chase. Calculate how long till we reach that city. Under the speedometers, another number appeared followed by "minutes." On the blue arrow, indicating the Paw Patroller, it said that it will take one-hundred twenty, or two hours, to reach it. On the red dot, indicating the military truck, it read ninety minutes, or an hour and a half.

"We will be on the road for a while longer," commented Marshall. "I am going to take a nap until we arrive."

"Same here," said Zuma. He yawned at leaned against Rocky to sleep.

Rocky didn't mind. Like Chase and Marshall were brothers, Rocky and Zuma were brothers as well. They have known each other for a long time. Before they joined the Paw Patrol, Rocky and Zuma were best friends. Their owners were neighbors and best friends, so Rocky and Zuma saw each other a lot. But their owners were getting ready to leave for college. They left Rocky and Zuma with their a family member from Adventure Bay. Their new owners thought it would be best to give them to Ryder because they travelled a lot. They were by each other's side from the very beginning.
