(S2-C10) A Shattered Calm

Immediately as the smoke in front of the two pups cleared, Marshall and Everest found themselves standing still, eyes locked forward at where Sweetie was, back to the other pup near them, and then back to where Sweetie was.

"Looks like Sweetie is now a complete enemy," Everest said, a lack of emotions in her voice as she said it over the microphone in her helmet.

"Hurricane come in, who's an enemy now?" Snow asked as the golden retriever began to scan the perimeter of the puppy mill with his sniper rifle, Scarlet still using the binoculars from her pup pack to act as a spotter as he did so.

"Sweetie. She's working with the same people who ran this puppy mill, and probably other mills too. She was wearing gear similar to ours and injured Flame badly. We need help here," Everest said as Marshall continued to stand where he had punched Sweetie, the damp cloth Everest had used earlier was working well enough to stop the bleeding and the pain from completely overcoming Marshall, but it was still extremely painful for the Dalmatian to even stand right now, the adrenaline from these fights fading as well certainly didn't help.

Immediately once they had heard this, Odin and Thunder began running back to where Flame and Hurricane still are. "We should've stayed as a group of four, nothing would've snuck up on anyone then," Thunder thought to himself, cursing himself out for this lapse in judgement.

"Do they mean the royal pup Sweetie, Thunder? Unless you all know a different one," Odin asked, knowing exactly where he would have to go if it was the royal pup.

"It's hard to say Odin," Thunder admitted as he spoke back into the microphone in his helmet. "Okay Scarlet, we need you to get your helicopter back and fly us out to the nearest emergency room. We'll land wherever we can near it, leave our gear in the helicopter and tell the doctors and hopefully veterinarians there that our friend got injured badly in a dog fight that we broke up, how does that sound?" Thunder asked, they couldn't just leave Marshall on his own and hope someone took pity on him, after all, with his gear on he still looks like a soldier on a mission, despite being anything but a soldier at his core.

"Copy that Thunder. Snow, you should link back up with the team in the mill. I'll be back shortly with the helicopter," Scarlet said as the binoculars retracted back into her pup pack and her SMG came back out of her pup pack.

"Will do Scarlet, stay safe out there." Snow said as he retracted the sniper rifle he was using back into his pup pack, allowing him to slide down the hill towards the mill.

Barkingburg - Paw Patrol

As Chase, Rocky and Ryder continued driving, no words were shared between the three of them as Ryder called the remainder of the team who was still in the Paw Patroller, being Rubble and Rebecca.

"Ryder to the Paw Patroller. Come in," Ryder said into his ATV's helmet. Before the team set out to Barkingburg, Rocky had worked together with the leader to upgrade his helmet in case of combat operations. It's still the same helmet at its core design wise, but like the combat ready helmet the pup's wore, it had a built in microphone and a slightly sturdier design.

"Ryder what's going on? Is everyone okay?" Rebecca asked, picking up the call as Ryder's face appeared on the large screen in the vehicle.

"No, Skye got shot in a gunfight with a hostile. We need the Paw Patroller to meet us at her and Zuma's location and get her somewhere she can get medical attention. And fast." Ryder said as Tracker and Rubble immediately jumped off of their seats, their eyes wide open as they looked at Ryder.

"R-Ryder, what happened out there? I thought you all were just  searching for Sweetie," Rubble nervously asked, the bulldog being  extremely concerned and scared for the safety of his teammates and  friends. Ryder had said this would be a search and rescue mission to  find Sweetie, and then the team would try and find information about  where Marshall and Everest had gone.
