A small sleek black and white figure bounded along the street of the large development. It bounces fast, as if in a big hurry. It seems to be bouncing along towaards the Sohmers estate.

As it turns out this small figure is but a tiny little dalmation pup. The por thing is panicked and seems to be running from somthing, it has a bit of blood on its paw.

Soon the pup is at the house door and the small thing is scratching and whinning the heck out of itself.

The day hadn't gone the greatest, but at least he hadn't been injured during the scuffle. And he hadn't gotten fired - though he could very well have if he had talked back to Lauren like he was so tempted to do.

Ryan was busy cleaning dishes when he heard the scratching and pawing at his door. Setting down the skillet he had been scrubbing away at, the man wiped his hands off on a towel before advancing towards the door. Cautiously, he eased it open, half expecting a member of the Akatsuki to be waiting there with a knife or sword.

To the officer's great relief, it wasn't a human, but a dog. And a puppy, at that! "What do we have here?" Ryan wondered out loud, kneeling down to be more at the dalmation's level, while reaching a hand out to pat the creature's head, "Where did you come from?" It was then that he noticed the blood, and his eyes narrowed in concern.

The small white and black pup jumped and scratched for what seemed to him to be ages. Finally the door was slowly opened. Immedatly the puppy was umping up and licking the man's face. All at the same time the puppy kept his bloodied paw srcunched up tightly to his white and black chest.

Getting slobbered over by a stray dog was not exactly what he was anticipating, but despite being a pertpetual neat-freak, he still managed to laugh. "Ok, ok, that's enough." Ryan gently picked the pup up and carried it inside where he could have a better look. "Lets have a look at that paw now" The officer said, carefully taking a hold of the dalmation's leg and trying to find out what sort of injury it might have.

The small, athletic puppy covered him with sloppy puppy kisses until finally he was told that enough was enough. With one last energetic lick the pup jumped off the mans lap and sat before him.

Gently the pup was set inside. The man tried to grab his leg but the pup strongky and stubbornly held it slose to his alredy muscly chest. However, the little pup soon gave in and watch with intently curious big brown eyes as his paw was inspected.

Something shiny glustened in the light as his paw was turned over, if the pup had had any eyebrows they would have surely shot straight up for the suprised look in his eyes.

For all the frustrations he had been through lately, from being attacked three times by the same man, finding out his little sister was pregnant, and being twice sent to the emergency room, the pup's arrival was definitely a nice break from all the drama. "Now, little fella, let me see that paw." Ryan chided softly, but didn't force the pup too much when she resisted.

His dark brown eyes set into a concerned scowl when he saw the glistening object in the paw, "Ouch..." Ryan murmured, before releasing the paw. "I'll be that's no fun, huh? We better get that taken care of." Having little experience in treating wounds, the officer decided it was best if he didn't poke around at the foreign object, and instead let a professional deal with it.

Ryan grabbed his coat, slipped a pair of shoes on, and once again plucked up the dalmation pup. He'd take her to the Vet Clinic.
