THE CHASE
The merch booth of Anna Daniels. PRIMEporium.
Much to the annoyance of the Montgomery twins, the Time Lord is not where she is supposed to be. She is supposed to be behind the stupid booth selling her shitty shirts. The fact that she isn’t is frustrating, to say the very least. She must pay for disrespecting the All-Father and besmirching the Family/the Wicked/whatever title they come up with.
Patience Montgomery: She must pay!
Decius snorts in agreement.
What they don’t notice is that just on the other side of their super secret shadowy hiding place is a citizen of shadows. He tilts his head in confusion, wondering why they would even want to do such a thing in the first place. After all, Mom gives the best pets and the best treats too. Are they jealous because they want pets and treats? All they have to do is ask! She’s kind that way. But Mom also warned him about them. There are going to be two people coming after us, she said. One of them is a woman with a scrunched up sour face. The other is a man whose face isn’t as scrunched but has no personality at all.
Yes. These seem like the two, alright. But what to do? He can’t allow them to attacc Mom. That would be bad. He can do something though. People in this strange wax world know who this good boi belonged to. So maybe he can protecc from the attacc. It was time to distracc.
He leaps from shadow to shadow, keeping himself hidden away until he can find a proper place to pop out. Even good bois have to be sneaky. After a beat, he pops out of his place and trots around in his normal form as dog. Bucky Rex Daniels does what doggos do: be cute, be happy, be LOUD. This is not lost on the twins, still in the original super secret shadowy place.
Patience Montgomery: Wait a minute. Isn’t that her mangy mutt?
Decius grunts in response. Patience grins a nefarious grin. If she can’t get the pretty, she’ll take the little dog as compensation! Then that bitch would have to come to them and they would beat the shit out of her! The All-Father would be so pleased at eradicating such a huge problem! They pop out of their hiding place and start charging for Bucky!
The joke is on them though. For dogs like many things and one of those things is running. They chase things down and get chased. To zoom is to live. Besides, he only has to buy some time and once outside, he can blend into the night easy even here. He acts oblivious. Ten feet.
Five feet.
Two feet.
Decius dives, his hands grasping for the hounds throat. All he gets is Bucky’s dust. The chase is on.
