The inside of the warehouse was almost pitch black. The only light was the sun's rays shining through the broken windows. Yet it was still hard to see as Leonard and Pepe accidentally tripped over something. "Quiet!" Chloe hissed through clenched teeth. A moment later, Mel came over and whispered, "What's a bicycle doing on the floor?" Leonard and Pepe merely shrugged their shoulders before the group continued onwards.

"Would be nice if we had a light..." Duke grumbled after stumbling in the darkness for probably the tenth time since they entered the warehouse. "Eat your carrots then!" Snowball retorted silently. Chuckling, Nitro murmured to Ozone, "Or get reincarnated into a cat!" The two cats laughed quietly to themselves. "Quiet, before someone hears you!" Snowball snapped. Suddenly, the warehouse lights turned on as Danger snickered, "Who, a person like me?" The group gasped as the pit bull emerged from a mountain of boxes off to the left. "Whoops..." Nitro muttered as Chloe whacked him and Ozone on the back of the head.

Metal tail swishing over the ground, Danger stopped about ten feet away from the group. Casually, he sat down and licked his paw, as if he hadn't a worry in the world. "I think he's playing with us," Mel whispered to Buddy and Sweetpea, trembling all over. Looking up, Danger pointed out calmly, "Nope, I just want to have a good chat before I have to kill you all." Leaning towards Mel, Buddy muttered, "Definitely playing with us." Just then, Pops strolled towards the front of the group. Leonard and Pepe tried to call him back but he ignored them and piped up, "Look Ranger-"

"What did you call me?!" Danger interrupted Pops. Duke leaped to the rescue and explained, "He gives everyone nicknames." Rolling his eyes, Pops took a small step forward and went on, "I know you have a quarrel with me. And I'm sorry if I caused any pain between you and your father. Just don't take your anger out on these animals. They've done nothing wrong. Especially Rhonda." At those words, Chloe hissed at the old basset hound.

Just then, the group could hear a slow and boring clap as Danger clapped his paws together. "Bravo," the pit bull exclaimed sarcastically before continuing, "But I actually have other problems with some of your friends as well." Frightened, Pops backed away while Snowball questioned the pit bull, "What are you even talking about?!" Grinning evilly, Danger teased, "Glad you asked. Who would like to hear a story?"
