Josh was in trouble. He knew when he took it out of the freezer the meat wouldn't last long, so he forced himself and his dogs to eat as much as they could stomach before it rotted. Two days ago it had. Since then all he had to eat was granola bar and a handful of trailmix. He still had some dog food and a rather large rat Lucy had caught, but he was burning a lot of energy lugging around the K9 suit in his rucksack. He needed food and a place to stay. Of course he saw the warning signs in front of the mall, but typically people who set those up were all bark and no bite just trying to scare timid city folk of their land. Both Lucy's and Bishops hackles rose as a man on the roof shouted down at them. It was that guy from the police station! He seemed better of then Josh. "Josh Parker, a hungry and lost guy with two extra mouths to feed! Why don't you let me in so we can get acquainted?" Josh shouted back up.
