Katrina was running through the alleys, having no idea where she was going. She curved around a corner, and found herself in a parking ramp. Red and blue lights were flashing, and a siren broke out. Panicking, she looked around. Spotting a large Ford Explorer, she dove under the entire car, and peered out.
"And the runaway, Smas Boligrafo, was also found."
"Is that Katrina really as bad as they say she is?"
"We did a background check. She was an extreme prankster, suspended seven times at the same school, in the same year. Imagine what she could do if they gave her that chance."
"Yeah, I suppose"
They walked away, talking amongst each other, and when Katrina peered out, they were long gone.
Smas? she thought to herself, They caught Smas?
Curly ran up beside the Explorer and looked under at Katrina, whimpering. She smiled, and raised her hand to pat her head.
"It's okay, baby, we're going to get him out."
Curly whimpered, and Katrina crawled out from under the Explorer. She looked at her, finally, the words occurred to her.
"I don't know where anything is," she told her, "But with your nose, you know everything."
Curly immediately put her nose to the ground, and started searching out. She caught the trail that the men were walking on, barked, and started after them. Katrina ran, desperate to keep up, and pretty soon, they were back to where they started.
"Perfect, right back here," she mumbled to herself.
Curly found the spot where Smas had been standing, and chased after his scent in the direction of which he ran. Katrina raced after her, her legs pounding the ground as they went. Eventually, they found themselves placed right outside a building. On the front it said:
Police Station
Katrina sneaked off until she found a small window up high. She grasped the ledge, and pulled herself up. Her feet found a perfectly placed tree branch, and she peered in. She could hear bits of what he was saying
"There's no way we can get you to go home?"
He shook his head slowly, looking up at the man.
"I'm sorry You need to go home Runaway"
He shook his head.
"I'm not going back No way Hate me"
"I've got for you."
Smas looked up at the officer.
"I won't send you Just do this"
"Listening."
"Katrina Criminal This"
Katrina had heard enough, she bounded down, and started talking in an undertone to Curly.
"We're getting him out of there," she said to her, Curly staring up at her with dog eyes Strangely understanding her, "This is what we'll do"
