"He won't." Kyle said. "He's smart, just scared. I can tell." He assured her. He came to the highway, and it wasn't hard to find the two dogs on the road. One was a huge brown dog, and cars were swerving to try and avoid the scared animals. Kyle pulled to the side of the road, and Makaio did the same. "We gotta hurry." Kyle said, getting out. Makaio got out, pulling out three catch poles, one for each of them.

Sara grabbed the catch pole handed to her, and looked around for the second dog. It was cowering on the other side of the road, against the concrete guard rail. The Black lab mix looked up at the humans on the opposite side, ears perking up slightly. Cautiously it stood and looked over at the oncoming cars.

Kyle took his catch pole. He looked at the larger dog. "I'll get him." He said, starting toward the dog. The large animal looked up at him. He stepped back away from Kyle. Makaio looked around, finding a clear section of traffic. Holding the catch pole tightly, he started across toward the black lab.

With the presence of a cop car and three people in the streets, traffic slowed down to a considerable rate. While the two aimed to catch the dogs, Sara took up keeping the cars from hitting either the dogs or the two men. She still held the catch pole in one hand just in case one of the dogs decided to run in her direction. in the corner of her eye she spotted a vehicle speeding and called out a warning.

Makaio moved slowly toward the dog, trying not to startle him. He didn't even hear Sara. Kyle looked up, he was still on the side of the road. "Mirano!" He yelled louder. Makaio looked up as he heard Kyle yell for him. He stared at Kyle, confused. "What!?" He yelled back.

The car was slowing down but not fast enough. It couldn't get over in the next lane because traffic was backed up. "Watch out!" Sara said louder this time. She wouldn't be able to get there in time.
The lab mix looked around, wondering why the humans were yelling, then he saw it. Ears back, head lowered, he pinned himself against the concrete.

Kyle stared at them. "Mirano! Move!" He screamed. Makaio looked from Sara to Kyle. He looked over just before it happened. He froze, his eyes wide. He stared at the car, too scared to move. Then it happened. The pain. He hit the ground, and his vision went black. He couldn't move, pain the only thing he felt. He could hear Kyle yelling, and the second dog barking, cars around them, but he couldn't see a thing, and he just wanted to sleep.
Kyle hurried over, most of the other cars stopping. "Mirano!" He yelled, then curse as he saw Makaio's limp body sprawled out on the road.

Squealing tires, Kyle yelling, it all happened too fast. A few people who had actually stopped looked out their windows. The car that had hit Mirano had swerved into the concrete wall, the driver staring at nothing in particular, obviously in shock.
After a long moment the dog looked around and saw the man who had approached was now sprawled out on the road and everything had basically stopped. Whining softly he came over to the man and sat by his side, looking up at Kyle. Was this his fault? At that thought the dog hung his head and looked at the unconscious human.
"I called 911!" Some random dude shouted to Sara who was making her way to the scene.

Makaio coughed, coughed several times. Blood came from his mouth as he did, his whole body shaking. Kyle hurried over, kneeling by Makaio. He looked up at Sara. "This isn't good. This isn't good at all." He said. He closed his eyes. "I just hope that ambulance can get here." He said quietly. He looked at the dog, then back at Makaio. The other officer was most important now.

Somehow Sara felt like this was her fault. She glanced over at the man in the car who was still in shock. he didn't appear to have any life threatening injuries so she turned her attention back to the traffic jam. "I'm going to redirect traffic so the ambulance can get through." She said and did so. Hopefully the other dog would stay put and not get himself hit.
It wasn't long until the sirens of the ambulance could be heard.

Kyle nodded at that. He stood up, going to his car. He moved it enough so it was in the road, the lights on. He then got out, returning to Makaio. He looked up as the paramedics arive. "Good!" He said. He motioned over to Mirano. "Right here!" He yelled to them. The second dog ran over, laying down by Makaio.

The paramedics tended to Makaio, quickly getting him on a stretcher, doing their medical jazz. Sara on the other hand was now leading the dogs on catch poles to the truck. Another police officer took over redirecting traffic as a second ambulance tended to the man in the car.
Once the dogs were safely in the truck, Sara walked over beside Kyle. "Is he going to be okay?"

Kyle stood up. He looked at Sara. "You want to go with or just follow, or go back to the shelter?" He asked her. "And he'll be fine. As far as we know right now at least." He said, glancing toward the ambulance. "And Sara... it isn't your fault. Really."
Makaio groaned, eyes closed. "It hurts." He whispered. "I can't feel my legs..." He shivered. "Sara... Officer Kyle... sir...?" He asked, moving as much as he could to get free from the paramedics.

"it feels like it." She muttered and looked up at the ambulance. "I need to take the dogs back to the shelter." Sara said a bit louder, and swallowed hard. "I'll be back at the shelter."

Kyle nodded. "I'm coming back with you." He said. "I have no reason to go with him." He hugged her. "Don't blame yourself. You couldn't do anything for him. Nothing at all." He said and sighed. "And he'll be fine. He'll live, I know it." He assured her.
