THE END

"No ma'am that won't be necessary-" He nodded affirmatively. "They got information behind every name of every bum, boozer, and businessdog in the city." He said with another warm smile. "Well as said be careful - Sybil - see you round." He dipped his nose in a gracious farewell.

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl had just turned away but then looked back at him. "Oh, I'm Sibyl Price," she told him. "Do you need any other information?" she asked. "Age? Breed?"

----------
CheeTree said the following:

He dismissed the suggestion to go to the hospital, he could stitch it up himself. "Take care ma'am!" He nodded a farewell and turned away, limping only slightly. Then looked around again to the she dog, "Sorry, but i didn't catch your name. I should report this to the police and a name to go with the report would be preferable."

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl shook her head. "I can make it home on my own," she insisted. "I'm a pretty fast runner." She looked at his wound again. "Besides, I don't live near any hospital and I'm sure you need to get that looked at," she said.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Cal nodded heavily to her. "No worries, i'm a firedog for petes sake its what i do!" He smiled warmly over at her, ignoring the pain so she wouldn't start panicking.
The smile fell back down after a moment. "But i'll be fine, long as i'm able to return to my home. Will you be ok? Maybe you should stick with me for the next block or two."

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl felt her breath catch in her throat when she saw the other dog's wound. "That...they...your leg," she managed to say. She padded shakily forward, her ears pressed firmly against her neck. "Thank you," she choked out. "Thank you so much."

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Fermi began to make a beeline for his home, walking steadily on his wounded back leg. It wasn't that deep, but just enough to give him a hard time walking. He turned a corner and saw the dog he had rescued, leaning against a wall, probably scared out of her wits the poor thing. "They're gone, and won't be back as long as i'm 'round."

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl pressed against the brick wall at the corner under a sickly yellow streetlight. She glanced around the wall, seeing her rescuer standing alone in the street.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Seeing the she dog run, Cal turned back to the other dogs, snarling at the panting animals who were just as if not more wounded than he was. "Wrong time, wrong place to assault a lady.." Fermi lunged at them one last time, then one let out a howl, "Retreeat!" With that, the three dogs scattered back into the darkness, leaving Fermi panting in the silence. Job well done, Cal..

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl blinked twice, and bit her tongue--hard--to help wake herself up. She yelped in pain, feeling some blood beginning to ooze from her self-inflicted wound. She picked up her paws awkwardly, as if unsure of how to run. She managed to put her paws in front of each other and made her way down the street, until she maintained her senses and ran as fast as she could to the next block.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

For a split second Cal glanced back at the victim, who couldn't do anything. He had seen this before. Victims froze in shock and confusion, and wouldn't move.
Fermi swiveled around and punched another dog in the face before turning again to slap Sybil back to her senses. "Wake up! You HAVE to run!" He barked gravelly.

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl watched the event unfold in front of her. She wanted to help, to fight off one of the dogs...but she was frozen. She couldn't move, even though she wanted to. So she didn't move, as still as a statue, the dark parts of her fur blending into the shadows.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Thankfully, Fermi was the largest of the dogs. He growled, his green eyes glinting behind his glasses. Suddenly one of the mugger dogs lunged for his throat, but it was a sloppy move. Cal easily dodged and latched his jaws around the other animal's neck and yanked it to the ground. Then Fermi went for the other two, who then scattered in two directions. But something he hadn't accounted for was the knife in the first dog's paws, which, while Fermi was distracted with the other two, plunged into his hind leg. Cal let out a sharp yelp as he turned around before the dog could sever his achilles, punching the dog in the head sending it flying sideways.

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

The muggers turned towards the male that had approached them. Sibyl would have taken this chance to escape, but she was backed against a brick wall. She was frozen in fear, anyway...

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Cal saw the glint of something metallic. A knife. Fermi broke into a quiet run, the three silhouettes surrounding the one as he came closer. He let out a thunderous bark and the three assailants turned their heads his way. Fermi realized they were dressed in black, muggers, and their victim a young she-dog. "What do you think you're doing?" He growled at them as he skidded to a halt.

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl flattened her ears in fear. "What do you want from me?" she barked loudly, hoping someone would hear and save her. The bigger of the two took a step forward. "Give us everything you have," he growled with a smirk, "Or we'll take it..." he threatened, holding the knife to Sibyl's throat.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Calvin passed the street performer, throwing a coin and a grin their way and walking past.
He looked back forward to the end of another alleyway. But there was something strange, the silhouette of a dog, then two more silhouettes appeared behind the first. Cal sped his pace, interested in the event that was unfurling.

----------
TheBigBadGerbil said the following:

Sibyl padded out of Tick's Tavern, her ears aching from all the noise. She took a deep breath of cool night air, and heard soft music coming from down the street. She followed the sound, until she saw a street performer strumming a guitar. She didn't get too close. Behind her she heard a gravelly voice snickering. She whipped around and saw two large dogs, one of them with a knife in hand.

----------
CheeTree said the following:

Cal's enormous shadow fell on the concrete wall as he walked in the quiet moonlight, thinking of his newest experiment back at home. He turned a corner and A green light suddenly hit his eyes, Tick's tavern was in full swing, sounds of whooping and laughter and the smell of alcohol and roasting food tempted him in. But he wouldn't dare risk going in tick's tonight. Fermi turned away and continued walking, back into the darkness of the concrete jungle.
Then heard the soft, faint strum of a guitar. He lifted his ears and followed the sound, turning down another alleyway of an old decrepit thrift store. There on the curb sat a she-dog and her instrument.
