Scooter found, but not Pablo
The policeman’s words seemed to hang in the air. “We’ve found Scooter, but Pablo isn’t with him,” he repeated sternly. Kenneth felt both relief and deep fear at the same time. “Where is Scooter?” he asked immediately. “He’s being brought back to you right now,” the officer explained. Lyla squeezed Kenneth’s hand tightly, her eyes shining with concern. “And Pablo?” she whispered. The policeman shook his head. “We’ll keep looking,” he said calmly. Kenneth and Lyla prepared themselves for the worst.

A few minutes later, they saw Scooter coming down the street, accompanied by a policeman. The familiar sight of their dog made their hearts heavy. “Scooter!” shouted Kenneth. The dog wagged his tail carefree, as if nothing had happened. “He was picked up on the way home,” the officer explained. Lyla fell to her knees and hugged Scooter tightly. “Where’s Pablo?” she asked in a fragile voice. Scooter just looked at her with his big, innocent eyes – without answering.
