"Uhh..." My head felt like it was constantly being hit with a hammer, and my whole body ached.
"Where... Where am I?" I mumbled. This wasn't a club, or outside a burnt-down farmhouse - it was a jail cell. Somehow, on my first day of undercover work, i'd been caught. Me, caught! And on a mission specially given to me by 101 herself. I - I hate to say it - but I am what you would call, a screw up. Damn. I sighed and walked to the corner. This place was disgusting, just some iron bars, some dirty floors and a bowl of water that the rats had probably been at. I turned as I heard someone walk past. He went so fast, but i'm sure it was- no it couldn't have been. The likeness was uncanny- I took another look as they sped away. Oh. My. God... Falcon?
"Falcon!" I howled down the corridor, scratching the bars and desperately seeking his attention. I took a few steps back, as many as I could, and then rammed as hard as I could into the steel bars with my shoulders.
"Aghh! Falcon! Come back!" Geez that hurt. I collapsed, and stuck my nose through the bars. But it was too late, he had already gone.

I went over to the corner once more, and curled up in a ball in an attempt to get to sleep. But before I managed to drift off, the cell was unlocked and Flo walked in, Kaya by her side. Great. More bad news. Kaya grinned evily. Flo too attempted to grin. Yes, it did scare me, but not because I was worried what she would do - oh no - it was her lop-sided, one eyed face that freaked me out. I looked at them, standing up, growling. My shoulder was now hurting like nobody's buisness, and my headache still killed, but I still had the strength to fight back. At least, it felt like it. Kaya snarled in retaliation, and we were just about to get into another of our childish scraps again, when Flo stepped in barging me over. I winced.
"Juno here tells me that your HOWLS," the wolf snapped, towering over me like a giant.
"Juno? Who's Juno?" I barked, standing up as best I could. Now this was getting confusing.
"And why the heck am I in a prison cell?"

Kaya - or at least, I think that's her name - sat down and licked her paw sarcasticly.
"Thought you'd fooled us, did ya?" She tilted her head. "You thought you'd outsmarted us, Hawk? Well your wrong. Your nothing but a failure, and your going to die here. Your going to die here whilst KAT takes down the world." She chuckled.
"Come on, Juno," smiled Flo, "Lets leave the bad doggy to think about what she's done!" Laughing, the two left. Me being to weak to tackle them out the door, I stayed behind. I sighed.

I had no weapons - they'd been taken, no pain-killers - my whole body was agony, no escape plan - over-rated anyway, and absoloutly no idea of what was going on. This was turning out to be a really bad day. Well, apart from the fact that i'd seen Falcon a few hours ago. Ughhh. Why can't I just accept the fact that he was a hallucination, and no more? Huh? That would make things a whole lot easier on my self. Kay- no, Juno killed him, and there was no more to it. Except the fact that it was KAT who acctually threw him off the cliff, and not Juno. God this name thing is confusing. I slumped over in a corner. This wasn't me - this was Catori, she's the 'abandon all hope were all gonna die dog' not me. I needed a plan, and fast. After finding a clean space on the floor, I began to eagerly scratch a plan into the dirt. Ok, so, here's what's going to happen - I am going to get the attention of the next dog to walk past, complaining that the water is disgusting. When they open the cell door to change the water (which is coincidentally at the back of the cell) i'll snatch the keys from their belt, leap through the door and lock them in, before making my unexcpected escape. Simple. Not very dignified - but the only way i'm going to get out of this dump alive.

I casually walked to the iron bars, once again doing my best to keep the pain at bay, and waited for someone to pass. It was only a few minutes before someone did. Kasai? So she was involved to, huh? And I really thought this was a dog I could trust. I was about to open my mouth and put my plan into action, but before I could she grabbed the key from her belt in her jaw, and inserted it into the lock.
"What are you doing?" I asked, then a second after realised how stupid that question was. I padded out of the cell as the bars creaked open. I followed her up the corridor, completely dumb-struck at what she had just done, and listened to the many questions filling up my brain. Why did she rescue you? What is she doing? Who's side is this dog on?!
"Why did you-" She cut me off.
"I'll answer your questions later. Right now we need to get out of here," Kasai repllied, leading me out of the barn. Oh, so all that devastation was fake, a disguise - the burnt out barn was a prison, with a club underneath. I'll have to keep that in mind, HOWLS could use something like that. When we'd snuck past the guards - well, more like demon dogs, we sped up, leaving no mark in the dry, blackened ground beneath our paws. We headed for the tree's, and I noticed i'd already lost another day due to being in the prison cell, as I watched the half-moon rise. The air was becoming cooler, and we needed to rest.

We stopped under a large spruce tree, and Kasai pulled a lighter from the band around her right anckle. She started it up and set alight a few twigs to warm us up, then she sat down and looked at me.
"So, why did you rescue me? And what's going on?"
"I'll tell you everything just as soon as we get back to HQ. Right now you need to rest," she replied, laying down close to the fire. I nodded and did the same.
"Hey, Kasai?"
"Yes?" she lifted her head.
"You don't happen to have any painkillers do you?" The rottwieler chuckled slightly as I asked, before reaching into her anckle band and grabbing a capsule of medicine. She threw it gently in my direction and put her head down again.
"Night,"
"Night," I replied. I grabbed the bottle with my mouth and took a few drops, then placed it down on the ground before letting exhaustion overtake my body...

As the sun rose, I lifted my head, and looked around for Kasai. She must have gone in search of food. The birds were singing, and more leaves had been falling. There was a butterfly perched on a strand of grass, and a small mouse scampering about. I lifted myself up and sniffed the air. Rabbit. I smiled and followed the scent trail to Kasai and the fresh kill, not forgetting to pick up the bottle of medicine for her before I went. Passing it to the rottwieler I inhaled some fresh air. Much better than the stench of ash and rotten carcasses.

My head felt a lot better than it did, and the painkillers had gotten rid of the jolting pain in my shoulder blade. I nuzzled it a little and felt a large bruise, but no matter, i'd had worse. Kasai dropped the rabbit to the ground and we ripped it in half, devouring as much as we each could. I licked the blood from my muzzle, leaving a stain, and looked at the Kasai. She too had a bloodstained muzzle, which made her look a little more sinister than saint.
"So, are you ready?" I asked.
"Yep," Was the answer uttered back to me, before Kasai turned and set off. I followed, and we began to run. If we kept up the pace, we would be back at HQ by mid-day. Hang on a minute? How did Kasai know about HQ, and how the hell did she know which way to go? HQ was a top secret base, how could she possibly know it's location?

Nevermind. At least she knew what we were, otherwise all this would be pretty confusing. After a few hours we arrived, just in time for an afternoon storm. I put in the pascode and we were let in just before the rain started to fall. The door closed up behind us, and as soon as I looked up I spotted Texas.
"Hawk?" He took a step forward, pushing through Angel and Taura, who had been busily disgussing something. His eyes widened and I too took a step forward, relieved that he was alright.
"Texas," I smiled, a small tear running down my cheek. We ran up to each other, and it was as if all my worries had just melted away. He nuzzled me, and I did the same.
"Where have you been, Hawk?" He whispered, and I just licked him. I didn't care about his questions, I didn't care that everyone was watching. I loved him, and this moment was ours. I felt myself blushing under my fur, and happiness overwhelmed me. I was back with Texas.
