"You're right, it's probably nothing," I said. Dennis and I moved on. I stared ahead, sure we wouldn't find Risky--and there he was! He was at the porch of a house with two boys. "Hey! That's our dog!" Dennis yelled to them. The boys turned around. One had curly black hair with a hoody sweatshirt on. The other had straight brown hair with an orange T-shirt. "What?" the brown-haired kid asked. We ran up to them. "Yeah, it's our dog. Sorry about that," I said, putting a leash on Risky. "Yeah, he got out of our house," Dennis continued. "Who are you two?" the black-haired kid asked. "My name is Ryan," I said, then I pointed to Dennis, "and this is my brother, Dennis." He waved to the two kids. "My name is Nick," the brown-haired kid said. "And I'm Andy," the black-haired kid responded. I kind of felt awkward. I was twelve, with a ten year old brother, and it looked liked Andy must have been twelve, with a ten year old brother. "So, how did your dog get all the way out here?" Nick asked. "Well...he was following a squirrel, and he ran out into the street!" Dennis said before I had a chance to reply. "Yeah, so we'll take him back," I said. Just then, I heard a robotic noise. "Huh?" I asked. I turned my head to see a squirrel sitting beneath me, but then...its skin came off! And it revealed a robot squirrel! "Your dog was chasing a robot!" Andy screamed. Then the robot made another sound, and it grew to about Andy's size! It pushed Andy and Nick to the ground. "Ow!!" they both exclaimed. I knew that we were next! |
