"Katie, stay here." Ryder said as he picked himself up off the floor. He called out to the brunette cashier. "Ma'am, you should contact the police!" He ran through the exit. "Pups!" He called out, running toward the PAW Patroller.
"Ryder what happened?" inquired Zuma.
The ten year old stopped a moment to catch his breath. "Did- *huff* did you see the guy wearing a ski mask carrying a big sack?" he asked the group while panting between words.
"Yeah, he went that way driving a motorcycle... and I don't think he's planning on going skiing." answered Rubble pointing his paw in the direction of the robber's escape.
"That guy got away with money he took from the restaurant."
The pups gasped.
"No time to explain in detail." He turned to face the cockapoo. "Skye, I need you to use your helicopter and goggles to search from the air and locate that guy. Chase, when Skye finds his location; I need you to use your net to capture him. Be VERY cautious. The suspect is armed and should be considered dangerous. I'm going to stay here with Katie. She seemed pretty freaked out by what just happened..."
With that the cockapoo and shepard dashed to the PAW Patroller and suited up. Skye engaged her helicopter with a look of determination on her face.
"Let's take to the sky!" she shouted while she ascended into the air.
Chase hopped into his police cruiser and started up his siren. "Chase is on the case!" with that, he revved up his truck, wheels spinning and sped off.
Ryder turned back to the entrance of the restaurant. "The rest of you pups stand-by incase I need you."
Ryder walked back into the restaurant to see the customers picking themselves up off of the floor, with the exception of Katie, who was still on the floor trembling with her hands on her head. Ryder leaned down to her and spoke softly.
"It's alright now Katie, he's gone."
She leapt up and embraced him as she sobbed. He could tell that she had been traumatized. He comforted her by caressing the back of her head.
"Thank you... Please hurry!" the cashier said as she ended the call with the police.
"What did they say?" asked Ryder, looking over to her.
"They said that they would send a unit to find the robber and send another unit to collect witness reports here." She raised her eyebrow. "No offense, but you're just a kid. Why would you be concerned with this? Not to mention CALM in all of this?"
Ryder looked her in the eyes. "Because it's my job to rescue those in need. That's what me and my team do."
"Your team?"
"Two of them are tracking the suspect as we speak."
"Wait.. you sent other kids after an armed robber?" She asked with wide eyes.
Ryder shook his head. "Not kids... Pups. For our team, there's no job too big, no pup too small."
The brunette woman looked very confused. "Uh...huh... Kid are you feeling alright?"
