Chapter 5

In a city in France known as Paris, four men are walking on their way with a cage.

(I don't much about France because I'm not from there. I just decided to choose France because it's something a little different. At first I was thinking of Mayor Humdinger pup-napping Chase but everyone is sick of that guy causing trouble. It would also be a lot more boring if I chose him. I also chose France because I just watched the movie Taken and I just wanted to choose it)

"This pup is gonna be worth a lot of money. He's strong and his fur would make the perfect coat" the man holding the cage says. "Your right, Blake. I know our boss is gonna be really happy. He might give us an extra tip" another man says, who goes by the name Louis. The men stop infront of a green door which belongs to a pretty old looking house. They knock on the door and the green door opens.

An old and very mean looking man appears. "Hi Boss James" Blake greets his boss with a hand shake. "Did you guys get what I asked for?" Boss James asks.The men walk inside and close the doors. "Yes we did" another man says, who goes by the name Robert. "We got a strong German Shepherd who also has very nice fur that would be good for a coat" Blake explains. Blake opens the cage and grasps Chase's scruff, then pulls him roughly out of the cage.

Boss James takes the pup and looks him over. "This is awesome. I can make a lot of money from him. I just have to decide what I want to do with him" James says. Boss James and his men go deeper into the big house  and take a long narrow dark stairway to the under floor.

The men walk through narrow corridors where there are hundreds of doors. They stop at one door and Boss James opens the door with a key. The room inside is medium, dim, the floor is dirt and the walls are just grey cement. Boss James' men help him chain Chase. Chase's four paws are separately chained to the ground. His neck is also chained and a muzzle is put tightly on his snout. "There, now this pup won't ever be able to escape. Actually, no pup in this place won't ever be able to escape like a long time ago" Boss James says, in his deep, evil and old voice.

The fourth man known as Edward, kicks Chase on his flank. The men laugh and then leave the room. Boss James shuts the metal door and locks it with a key. "Let's go see what we're gonna do with him" he says. The men walk by hundreds of other doors that belong to rooms which contain pup-napped pups. The pups inside the rooms whimper out of fear.

"Shut your muzzles, you mutts!" Boss James bangs one of the doors.

Chase's eyes crack open after a long and deep sleep. As much as he wants to stretch out his limbs, he figures that he's unable to do so. He looks to his right and left and sees that each paw of his, is chained strongly to the ground. Chase then discovers that he can't speak because there's a rusty muzzle on his snout.

When Chase's senses fully return, thats when he starts panicking. Where am I? he thinks.His ears go flat to his head and he starts whimpering. Chase looks around the dim room. Ryder he thinks. Then he feels a sharp wave of pain coming from his right flank. Chase looks to his flank and sees cut wounds going across. Around the wounds is blood that has dried on Chase's fur.

Chase tries pulling from the chains, but he realizes that he has no chance of escape.

In a small kitchen, Boss James and his men are sitting at an old wooden table. The kitchen is nasty and old. The walls are chipped, the wooden cupboards are cracked and moldy, and the floor is very dirty. "Boss, what are you gonna do with the pup?" Blake asks. Boss James takes a sip of black coffee and leans back in his cranky old chair. "I'm gonna do what makes me the most money. But for now, we can put that pup into good use" Boss James begins.

"Like what 'good use'?" Robert asks. "During the years of my career, I've never seen a pup that looks so strong like that one. All his muscle could be put to work. He will help us pup-nap more pups" Boss James explains.

"Boss, what if he doesn't want to do that? How will we get him to help us pup-nap more pups?" Louis asks. "By torturing him until he is conquered by fear and his fear becomes so great, he obeys us" Boss James explains. "That's a great plan" Edward says, with an evil smile. "The ship will be back in around three days. It's time to start emptying some of those rooms and getting the dogs ready so they can be loaded on the ship for when it returns" Boss James says.

"We'll get to it right after this coffee" Robert says.

Life without Chase wasn't so normal for everyone. But for Ryder, life without Chase was totally something else. He felt like he lost a half of his body, he felt like it was the end of the world, he felt like he would never be able to move on without Chase. In Ryder's eyes, Chase was more than just a pup, Chase was more than just his pet, Chase was more than just his loyal police pup. Chase was everything to Ryder and without him, Ryder felt like he just lost everything.

Ryder was as usual, in the mission room, just sitting on his beanbag and thinking about Chase and staring at his pup-tag.His other pups were out in the backyard playing. The vibe in and around the Lookout didn't feel the same.

The pups were playing fetch. Marshall just kept himself out of the game. He was feeling down. For the past few days, he had been leading the rescues for Ryder. Not only was he leading the rescues, but he was also messing up a lot of them with his clumsiness. Recently, Farmer Al's sheep had escaped and Marshall had to round them up along with the help of Rocky and Zuma.

That mission wasn't very easy without Chase, because Chase is obviously a naturalist and expert  at herding. While herding the sheep, Marshall accidentally tripped over a corn that was lying on the farm. He went flying across the air and crashed into the fence of the cow shed. The cows then escaped and the mission just became more complicated.

There were also a lot of other missions that Marshall messed up in. The pups had been trying to encourage Marshall but it just wasn't helping.

Marshall is watching the pups play when his pup-tag starts glowing. "Marshall, are you there?" Engineer Ed's voice came. "I'm here" Marshall answers. "There are some fallen trees and debris on the railroad from last nights storm" Engineer Ed explains."We're on our way. No job is too big, no pup is too small!" Marshall says. "PAW Patrol to the Lookout!"

"Marshall needs us" the pups say. They all start running into the elevator. Lately, since Marshall hasn't taken the elevator, the pups haven't been getting crashed by Marshall like they always do. It felt really strange and weird for them.

The doors close and the elevator goes. The pups leap out and line up in formation. Ryder is watching them from his beanbag. "PAW Patrol ready for action, Marshall sir!" Skye says. Every time she said that, she felt super awkward. Skye had been thinking of telling Rocky to start saying that instead of her.

"Thanks for hurrying pups. Some trees and debris have fallen on the railroad which is a problem for Engineer Ed" Marshall explains. "For this mission I need, Rubble. You're gonna use your crane to move the fallen trees and your shovel to remove the debris." "Rubble on the double!" Rubble barks. "Alright, PAW Patrol is on a roll!" Marshall then runs to the slide first. And Rubble goes down after him.

Marshall's pup-house transform into its firetruck form and Marshall drives off. Rubble does the same, following his substitute leader to the railroad.

Marshall and Rubble arrive upon the railroad. Rubble starts putting his dozer to work. Marshall calls the engineer. "Ed, stop the train" Marshall commands. "Will do" Engineer Ed says. Rubble lowers his crane and grasps a tree. The crane then goes up, taking the tree up also. Rubble drives off and drops the tree aside. He then does the same thing to move the other trees and debris.

Once the railroad is clear, Marshall tells the engineer that he can roll on. Engineer Ed thanks the pups and Marshall says the catchphrase, 'whenever the railroad isn't clear, just honk for help.'Marshall and Rubble then head home.

Meanwhile in Paris, Boss James and his men are preparing dogs to be loaded on the ship that should arrive in about three days.In the meantime, they're in the dim corridor where all the rooms are.Robert and Blake remove the chains from a white dog who doesn't even look white anymore. The pup's once beautiful white fur is now dirty and bloody. "Get in the cage! You filthy mutt!" Blake curses. The dog whimpers and scurries into the iron cage. Blake closes the cage. Boss James is holding a clipboard and writing stuff on a paper.

"That dog will be loaded in the fur-coat section of the ship. His fur looks dirty but after it's washed, it will be perfect for a coat" Boss James says.

This whole pup-napping business is Boss James' secret career. Only he and his men know about it. The ship that is coming in three days is a private ship that Boss James bought with the million dollars he made from pup-napping. The ship he bought is large and has two sections.One section is for dogs who have thick and nice fur. The dogs are killed and their fur is taken, washed, dried, and made into coats.

Boss James makes the coats very expensive, and many many rich people buy the coats. But no one knows where Boss James' gets the fur from, that's why it's a secret business. The other section is for dogs who are strong and have muscle. Those dogs are sold to villages as working dogs, or they're sold as sled-dogs, or they're sold as slave dogs to people who are bad and make animals slave for them.

This whole business is very evil, but Boss James makes millions of dollars from it.

As Boss James and his men are getting the dogs ready for loading, Boss James gets a call. He answers the call. "Hello, it's Boss James here" he says. "Hi there, James. How are you?" a man asks. "I'm fine. How can I help you?" Boss James asks. "A friend of mine told me that you're known for selling the best fur coats. I really want to get the best fur coat as a gift for my wife. Could you please make a coat out of the best fur you have?" the man asks.

"The coat will be very expensive. Just giving you a heads up" Boss James says. "That's not a problem. We're rich" the man says. "Okay, where do you live?" Boss James asks. "I live in New York City" the man answers. "Good, you'll get your coat in around five days" Boss James says. "That's awesome. Thank you, sir" the man says. After the call, James turns to his men. "What is it?" Edward asks. "A man from New York wants the best fur coat for his wife as a gift. And we just got the best fur I've ever seen in the world. That German Shepherd you guys pup-napped will also be loaded on the ship because his fur is gonna be turned into a coat. I'm about to make so much money" Boss James says with evil excitement. "Thats awesome, sir!" Blake.
