Last Hope Ranch (Closed)

[Wanderlust_]

"You're not going to have to pull anything out. I get to go through it so that you don't try to trick me." Raleigh rifled through the suitcase thoroughly but not in a disrespectful way, making sure that everything was neatly in the spot she'd taken it from. Once satisfied, she moved down through the rest of the suitcases, taking the plastic bags as she went. When she got to John, she eyed him. "Do you have anything in here that you shouldn't?" Elmo, the most docile of her dogs though he was the biggest, stalked up to John, wedging himself in between his owner and the boy, growling. "Looks like someone doesn't like your attitude. Drop it. It's not gonna get you anything."

Kia looked over at the girl and smiled, happy to have a kindred spirit with her. She didn't say anything about her bag, she didn't care. Rhylin had made her take nothing but cloths and toiletries, though both of them were seriously tempted. She watched as the lady stopped in front of who she heard was named John and a dog wedge between them. Rhylin tilted his head and looked at the dog dogs don't sense attitude, do they? He shook his head slightly, it didn't matter, he didn't like dogs, and so was going to ignore this one too.

John looked at her. "No. Not that Elmo could find anything." he snorted. "Good right ahead and look for yourself."

"You're right. MoMo couldn't find anything. Polo could, he's a certified drug and explosive dog, that's why I ran him by you before." She leaned down and rubbed the Boerboel's back before sending him back into line though he still growled at John. "My dogs are all extremely intelligent," she announced, to everyone there while she went through John's belongings. "Elmo is more sensitive to feelings than most of my horses. Blu is the commander and I suggest making friends with him, he'll keep the others from biting you. Polo could run this place by himself if he could talk. And little Delilah? She knows when it's time to make a racket to wake everyone up."

Britain
Britain returned the smile to Kia, maybe I've already found a friend she thought. As Raleigh rifled through her stuff she sighed, at least it's another girl going through her stuff. Britain covered her mouth to try to hide a laugh when John got in trouble.

[Wolfsinger]

Kia rolled her eyes, looking the dogs over, her brother had a similar reaction. I wouldn't be surprised if these mongrels couldn't tell right from left and this is just a show he thought. His sister had a similar thought, but voiced it out loud, much to Rhylin's annoyance. "How do we know that you aren't lying to us? How do we know this isn't just a show?" She asked, eyeing the dogs. She had to admit they were pretty, but she didn't believe the story.

[Musade]

John just rolled his eyes. She was talking about the dogs as if they were people that could walk and talk. She's nuts. She's lived here alone way too long. "Find anything?" he asked, irritated.

[Wanderlust_]

"Because unlike you delinquents. I have no reason to lie. I'm trying to save you. If you fail out of this program, you do not get to pass go, you do not get to collect two hundred dollars, you go straight to jail. This is your last hope, hence the name of my ranch." Raleigh eyed John though she remained calm and refrained from calling him a maggot. "Polo, take the bags inside." The merle Beauceron carefully picked up all the bags and trotted over to the house, jumping up on the handle to open the door. From there he set the bags on the table and headed back out, kicking the door closed on his way. "See? He's very smart. You'll get to experience Delilah in the morning."

Britain
Britain watched in amazement as the dog not only understood Raleigh but could open the door. She was beginning to have some respect for that dog, gangs teach you something. This time she didn't even raise her hand, "What does Delilah do?" She asked curiously.

[Wolfsinger]

Rhylin frowned as the dog picked up his luggage great, now it'll smell like dog he thought. "Of course she is up early." He said to her "it is in their nature to be obnoxious." His dislike of the canine species was obvious, and he didn't care to hide it.
