Chapter 9

The pups were watching Apollo The Super Pup when a call interrupts their episode. "Ugh" Rubble groans. Marshall answers the call. "Hi Mayor Goodway" he says. "Marshall! It's a disaster!" Mayor Goodway says with a clearly worried face. "What happened?" Marshall asks. "The Ruff Ruff Pack! They returned to Adventure Bay!" Mayor Goodway begins. "They're stealing everything! They stole your championship trophy from the museum, the treasure chest of gold coins, and the key to the city that had been awarded to you guys!"

"Oh my! That's a lot of stuff they stole!" Marshall says. "And there very valuable stuff" Mayor Goodway adds.

"Don't worry Mayor Goodway. No stuff is too stolen, no pup is too small!" Marshall says. He hangs up the call and then says, "PAW Patrol to the Moto HQ!" "Marshall needs us!" the pups say.

The pups, including Wildcat line up infront of their temporary leader, Marshall. "PAW Patrol ready for action, Marshall sir!" Skye barks. "Pups, we all know what has happened...well, except Wildcat. The Ruff Ruff Pack has returned to Adventure Bay and they're stealing things from all over town. It's kinda like the time when Sid Swashbuckle got the key to the city and started opening things around town and stealing" Marshall says.

"Those pups stole some very valuable items from the museum, including my championship trophy, the treasure chest of gold coins, and the key to the city. So it's up to us to stop them and take back everything that belongs to the museum."

"For this mission, Chase would be needed right now but unfortunately we don't have him. So we're gonna have to try and stop the Ruff Ruff Pack another way. So i deputies Wildcat. When we find the Ruff Ruff Pack, your gonna yarn the wheels of the whichever motorcycle has the stuff."

"This cats going for a wild ride!" Wildcat meows.

"I'm also gonna need Skye. I need you to track down the Ruff Ruff Pack from the air."

"This Moto puppy's gotta fly!"

"I'm also gonna need Rubble. Your gonna use your shovel to take the stuff back to the museum."

"Rubble on the Moto double!"

"Alright, PAW Patrol is on a roll!" Marshall says.

"That boy will never find us" Boss James says. He and his men were having their evening coffee in the kitchen as usual. "Who travels all the way to another country to look for their pet? That's insane! Who loves a pet that much?" Blake says. Blake was the one who had spied Ryder at the airport. "That boy must be insane" Edward says, sipping on his steaming coffee.

"He's never gonna find us. Plus, he now only has 43 hours left. How on planet earth will he find us in the whole of Paris?" Louis says. "It's impossible" Robert says, putting his mug in the sink. "Boss, are you okay?" Blake asks, noticing Boss James who is in deep thought about something.

"I was just thinking about something" Boss James says. "What is it?" Robert asks. "I can't risk losing this million of dollars we're about make from that German Shepherd's fur" Boss James says. "What are you trying to say?" Louis asks. "What I'm trying to say is that we need to find that boy before he finds us" Boss James leans forward in his seat and placed his arms on the wooden table.

"Boss, you really think that boy will find us? How can you think that? Even if he does find us, what can he do to us. We're grown men and he's only a young boy. How could you be scared of a boy?" Blake says. "Shut your mouth!" Boss James snaps. "I have been through life experiences and I know more than you do. I'm gonna call in Luke because he's an expert kidnapper. He and his men will kidnap that boy before he can find us."

Blake just nods his head. The others don't say anything. Boss James takes out his phone and calls Luke.

"Marshall! I see the Ruff Ruff Pack!" Skye reports to Marshall. "Where are they?" Marshall asks. "Heading to the bay" Skye says. "We're on our way" says Marshall.

"Hey Hubcap, why don't we take that man's flounder? We could swim away with our loot" Gasket suggests. "Uhh, Hubcap, look" Dwayne points out with his paw. Hubcap looks back to see the PAW Patrol on their tail. "Those stinky poopy pups!" Hubcap says. "This time we're not running away. We're gonna fight back."

"Gasket, put that rock infront of Marshall so he can go flying off of his motorcycle when he hits it" Hubcap says. "Okay" Gasket says. Gasket stops her motorbike and runs over to a stone. She flings it in the way of Marshall and then hops back on her bike. "Marshall! Watch out!" Skye warns. "I can slow down!" Marshall cries as his motorcycle drives full speed at the stone.

"I can't look" Wildcat and Rubble say, as they look away. The front wheel of Marshall's motorbike hits the stone and the rear end goes up. Marshall is sent flying into the air. The Ruff Ruff Pack start laughing. Marshall falls into the bay. Skye, Wildcat and Rubble drive over to him. "Clumsy pup! Clumsy pup!" the bad pups chant.

Marshall swims up to the surface and emerges all soaking wet. Marshall walks onto the shore with his head drooping. "Marshall, are you okay?" Skye asks. Before Marshall could speak, Gasket shouts out, "what kind of leader messes up on a mission? You should be ashamed of yourself!" "Do have a disease in your paws that causes you to be clumsy?" Dwayne asks. "I'm a better leader than you!" Hubcap barks. "You can't ever do anything right!" Gasket barks out, as they drive off.

The Ruff Ruff Pack drives off with the stuff. Tears escape Marshall's eyes after listening to the hurtful statements the Ruff Ruff Pack made. "Marshall, don't listen to those bad pups" Skye says. "I'm gonna claw their butts when I catch them" Wildcat growls. "I'm done with leading! I can't ever do anything right! Gasket is right! They're all right about me!" Marshall says, and then he starts running off.

"Marshall!" the pups call after him. "Leave me alone!" Marshall yells. "The Ruff Ruff Pack is getting away" Rubble says. "Skye, you're gonna have to lead this one" says Wildcat. Skye takes in a deep breath. "We're gonna need all paws on deck to pursue those pups" she says. She then pup-tags Rocky and Zuma.

"Rocky and Zuma, meet us at the bay" Skye says. "Skye? Why are you leading? Where's Marshall?" Rocky asks confusingly. "Marshall bumped into an stone that Gasket put in his way. He went flying off of his motorcycle and then fell into the bay. The Ruff Ruff Pack were saying some really mean things to him and now he has ran away" Skye explains. "Poor Marshall" Zuma says. "We gotta find him after this mission" Rocky says.

Meanwhile, Chase had been left hanging from the chains. He hadn't eaten or drank in a week. The last time he ate was when he and Ryder went to Mr. Porter's. And that was like a week ago. Chase's body was completely finished from how much he was being tortured everyday. He couldn't even feel anything anymore. Not even the hard chain whips he received everyday. Chase's body was covered in bloody scars and his body was very thin from not eating.

He couldn't even remember how he ended up in this place of hell in the first place. That once adorable, handsome and fluffy German Shepherd was now a blank, thin, scarred up, and bloody pup.

He hung from the chains blankly, waiting for death to overtake him. If only he knew that Ryder was on his way to save him. But who knows if he'll even be able to survive long enough for Ryder to save him.

▫️◽️◻️⬛️◻️◽️▫️

Ryder had taken a cab back to the airport to look for the man who he secretly got the information from. And sure enough, Blake was there spying for anyone suspicious that might be coming to Paris to look for their missing dog. Ryder spots the man infront of the airport this time, spying at everyone who is walk in and out.

"Hey sir, tell me where's my German Shepherd, right now!" Ryder boldly says. "W-what are you talking about?" Blake asks. He acts as if he doesn't know anything about Chase but what he doesn't know, is that Ryder knows everything he said on the call he made earlier."Don't play that game with me!" Ryder puts on a serious and stern face. "I know everything you said on the call earlier. Now tell me where's my pup!"

"You know, you're insane for traveling all the way here to save your pet dog. Who does that?" Blake asks in a deep and nasty tone. "Chase, which is the name of that German Shepherd you pup-napped, is more than just a pet to me. Now tell me where is he" Ryder growls. "Why should I?" Blake says, and then breaks into a run. "So you wanna play this game with me" Ryder says. He spots a man getting into his car. Ryder runs over to the man. "Get out! I need your car!" Ryder says. "Who do you think you are?" the man yells when Ryder closes the door and hits the pedal.

"I'm gonna call the cops on you!" the man yells out. Blake looks back to see a grey car coming after him. "I didn't think he would do that" Blake says in a panic. While running for his life, Blake takes out his phone from his pocket and calls Luke, the expert kidnapper.

"Luke, I need you down at the airport right now" he says, panting heavily. "The boy is driving a grey Nissan and he's after me for information on where his pup is.""We're coming" Luke says. The man who Ryder stole the car from, calls the cops and tells them what happened.

Now Luke and the cops are coming after Ryder. But Ryder keeps his focus on Blake. The information on where Chase is, is worth more than gold him.

▫️◽️◻️⬛️◻️◽️▫️

With two pursuits taking place, who will catch their target? Will Skye, Wildcat, Rocky, Zuma and Rubble catch the Ruff Ruff Pack? Or will the Ruff Ruff Pack throw more obstacles in their way? Who will catch Ryder? Will it be Luke, the expert kidnapper or will it be the cops? Or will Ryder get the information he's pursuing before being caught by his pursuers? Time is ticking and Ryder only has 42 hours left.

It's a race against time to save the life of his beloved pup.
