earnest.
The dogs broke through.
“BARK. BARK. BARK.”
“I’m just saying we may want to consider alternatives to running?”
“I’m all ears, mate!”
“BARK. BARK. BARK.”
They turned the corner into another hallway.
“Well, you are a dog walker, aren’t you? Perhaps this is your time to shine!”
“A dog walker—not a fuckin’ dog whisperer!”
“BARK. BARK. BWEEOOP—”
A bright red hot laser sliced the air between them.
“Oh dear!” FPS exclaimed.
“Shit!” Tora exclaimed in turn. “Lasers?! They have lasers now?!”
A few more shot off as the two hurdled themselves into another hallway. Tora reached into his coat, searching. The dogs would catch them soon.
“Perhaps we could give them a treat? Call them very good dogs?” The elementalist offered.
The thief offered something else—he pulled out his pistol and blasted the first stone mutt to turn the corner. Its crystal eye shattered as its body was sent flying. It hit the ground crackling and shaking.
“Oh,” FPS frowned.
“Some dogs need to be put down,” Tora huffed between breathes. “Only got like one-two… three bullets left? Seriously? Damn, okay.”
And there was at least six dogs, all coming around the corner now. The thief was already preparing to bolt, but stopped at the sound of thunder reverberating through the hall. He turned to see FPS with his staff out and a pile of crumpled dog golems shuddering with excess electricity.
Damn! Tora thought. That’s why I brought him, eh? He’d forgotten.
The elementalist had one impressive command of lightning, but not impressive enough. The dog golems were starting to move again.
“Shit! Uh, could ya zap em again?”
“I’m afraid I’ll need a minute to recharge, so to speak, Miss Bandi.” They didn’t have a minute. The dogs were moving now. “Perhaps you could use that impressive invisibility trick again?”
“Uh nope! That needs a recharge too.” He was hoping FPS had forgotten that. He wasn’t lying though, he needed a bit more prep time for that.
