22-Dog Whisperer

Chapter Twenty-Two
Dog Whisperer

I'm walking walking walking walking

Stop

I'm walking walking

Turn

Stop

I see people

"Make sure no one enters"

"Make sure you two stay put"

I watch the door

I make sure no one enters

I'm watching

Watching

I'm watching watching watching--

Movement beside me.

I watch guard fall

Someone has entered-

I raise my hands

I shoot out my shield--

I'm pulled down

I raise my arm to kick but I'm slapped

I'm slapped

"Stop"

the voice is loud

"Stop"

"Skylar stop!"

I push myself up

A boy stands in front of me

"Skylar it's me"

"Skylar!"

I try to grab him

"Its me! Sam!"

Flash

A blinding flash

"Sam," I said. He nodded frantically as I blinked and checked my surroundings.

I was in a grey hallway, guarding a door. To my right I could see another kid from my school laying on the floor.

I raised my eyebrows and bent down on my knee to see him better. He was knocked out unconscious, but looked fine.

"What happened?" I asked Sam, turning to face him.

He shrugged. "I'm not completely sure, but i mean I can only assume they caught you guys and tried taking control."

"Wait," I shook my head, "How'd you get it to stop?"

Sam raised a small tube. "Dog whistle."

I paused. "W- a dog whistle?"

He frowned. "Don't judge me, I carry one everywhere. I panicked and didn't know what to do."

"But I couldn't hear it," I told him.

"Because it's a dog whistle, obviously," He rolled his eyes. "Only dogs can hear it, but I guess the frequency somehow messed with the manipulation chip thing."

I shook my head and muttered, "dog whisperer."

"I'm kidding!" He huffed, "why the hell would a dog whistle do shit? I used this."

Sam held up his phone. "I used the flash."

"The flash?" I questioned.
