Hi again! As I won't be able to post tomorrow, I thought I might do it tonight. We are nearing the end, though not right now : a few more posts to go to explain everything... Thanks (again... I feel like a broken record, but it's really appreciated!) for reading and comments.*****
With the van's description gave by Levi along with the surveillance tape from the front camera of the Department of Justice building they were able to find it : it belong to 'Dip Of Grace Pharmatics', which belongs to...
"Good answer : Doctor Malvin Smith himself!" Frowning when she saw the light blue letters that ornate the building, Tara yelled, "How rude! That's enough to make me wanna be sick!"
"What is it, luv?"
"Huh, look at the letters : D.O.G.! Is it a joke or are they laughing at us?"

Amanda, Noemie and Levi were walking in the park, ready in case the 'Doctor' or one of his man went to 'dog chase' again. Myles and Jack were posted in strategic point near them, always keeping them in sight. Bobby and Tara were in front of the building, waiting for any appearance of the guess of honor. Sue, Lucy and D were in the surveillance van coordinating all the others.
"Huh-huh, I think our Mr. Boss is greating us with his presence... He's heading your way with the van, but he's not alone : we have 200 pounds of muscles and no brain beside him." Announced Bobby over his headset. "We're following them."
"Be careful : don't let him see you, Crash." Stated Jack a bit nervous.
"We can't afford to lose him either!" He pointed out.
After what seems an eternity, Bobby finally comfirmed they were pulling over near the park. The chase indeed begun.
"Ready girls?" D asked Noemie through her earpiece who translated the question to Amanda and Levi. With an affirmative respond, the plan could go on. The girls started to throw Levi's ball for him to catch. The dog knew his part : he would run after it while the girls would turn around and start signing. Jack and Myles will be ready as soon as they took Levi, others in back up to follow them if they failled, though it wasn't even an option.
Levi came to give the ball twice ; at the third throw, he didn't came back.
"Move, Move!" Yelled Jack to his team.
Levi struggled a bit for the men's benefit, though he knew he couldn't be too hard on them : the team was there to take care of them in the right way. As much as he wanted to bit their butts, he wouldn't jeopardize all their efforts. Only he couldn't resist to intimidate his attackers : just a few barks and a bit of teeth showing...
Startled by the shouts coming from each side, the beef that worked for Malvin Smith send a right punch in Jack stomach after he dropped Levi's collar. Falling to his knees under the impact, Jack lost his breath but wasn't ready to give up yet. With an unbelievable strength he propelled himself in the man's feet, sending him to the ground. Coming from behind, Bobby took care of him and handcuffed him while Myles runned after Smith. Barely able to keep his pace, he was releived to see the blue van coming right to cut the man's runaway.
"Great timing, Tara! Where have you got your driver's licence?" He teased the small woman once he had found his breath.
"Why do you ask? You don't like my driving?" She replied with a grin.
Seing Jack laying on his side made her worse fears pass through Sue's mind.
"Jack! Jack!" Knelling in front of him she saw his eyes shot.
Oh no! God please! Let him be all right! Felling a hand on her shoulder she turned to face Bobby. "He'll be okay, he just took a nice shot in the stomach. Took his breath away for a second." He tried to comfort her.
Groaning he opened his eyes, which made him think for a moment he might be in heaven : his beautiful angel was there for him, concern all over her sliky face.
"Hi sweetheart!" He mumbled under the pain each breath he made brought.
Putting a finger on his lips to silence him, she stroke his hair lightly with her other hand. "Sssshhh... It's gonna be okay Jack : I'm here with you, now... and I won't go anywhere."
As Levi came near his mistress, he couldn't hide his happiness : his two favorite humans were FINALLY where they belong, with one another.
'Huh... It was about time!' Amanda could have sworn she saw him grining while this thought passed through his mind.

More soon! Have a nice weekend!
