After a moment she hugged him back, letting out a shakey sigh. "I shouldn't have brought him" Despite the fact it really wasn't her fault, she couldn't help but think that if she didn't bring him then this wouldn't have happened. If there was someone to blame, it was the driver.

Kyle sighed. "Just get back to the shelter, and we'll go visit him later." He said. He hugged her tightly. "Come on. I'm coming back with you." He told her, then stepped back. He walked over to his car, getting in. He turned the lights off, starting the car.

Huffing another sigh she got into the truck and started it up. She took the time it took to get back to the shelter to calm down and convince herself that it wasn't her fault and that he was going to be ok. Once back at the shelter she got out and opened the door to the kennel in the side, putting a leash on the brown dog, coaxing it out of the truck.

Kyle parked at the shelter, getting out. He got a leash on the black dog, just picking him up out of the cage. The brown dog whimpered, but got out after a bit. Kyle took the dog in to see a vet. They all needed to when they came in. An older officer passed him through the doors. A police transfer from the year before. In fact, the previous police chief, Johnathan. After working his way up the police department, he came to the ASPCA for a calmer way to end his work. He walked over to Sara. "Need me to take him?"

At the sound of the voice, Sara looked up to see Johnathan. "I-.. if you'd like to, sir." She was going to say something else but changed her mind. She handed him the lead and nodded her head in thanks.

Johnathan nodded at her. He looked at the dog, petting his head. The man was older than forty, and he looked a bit older than that. His dark brown hair was half grey by this point. "What happened?" He asked her, concerned. "You don't look very happy..."

Sara looked up at him and sighed. "Makaio got hit. He's at the hospital now, but I'm not sure how hes doing." After a moment she continued. "I made him come with us...."

Johnathan sighed, putting an arm around her in a fatherly way. "It wasn't your fault." He said. "I wasn't there, but I know for sure you were not driving the car that hit him. You were being his boss when you told him to come. That's what you're supposed to do. You can't blame yourself for this." He told her.

After a good long moment of taking what he said in, Sara relaxed a bit. That's the one thing that got to her. If someone else got hurt on her watch, she automatically felt like it was her fault. "Well, I 'spose you're right. I just hope he's going to be alright."

Johnathan nodded. "I'm sure he'll be fine. You can always go visit him later." He told her. "I heard that boy Kyle came back." He said. "You like him, don't you?" He asked. "I heard from a couple other officers that you do, but are they right?" He stood up straight, giving a friendly smile toward her as he dropped his arm back to his own side.

As soon as that was said a light pink spread over her cheeks. "I-what-uhm.." As she blustered, her cheeks grew pinker. She cleared her throat and shifted her weight. "...who said that?" She was stalling from actually answering the question...though it was completely obvious.

Johnathan smirked. "You do." He said. "Maybe I'll go tell him now..." He told her with a smile at her. "And it was someone else. Another officer. He would like to remain unknown. So I won't give you his name. It's a guy though." He smiled. "And really, admit it."

It didn't take long for Sara to realize defeat, and she let out a sigh. "Alright Alright, I'll admit it." Sara said before looking around. "I...do like him. And I'm really glad he came back."

Johnathan smiled at her. "Good. I'm glad you're willing to say that." He said. "Kyle is a great guy. I worked with him for a couple years while he wasn't here. And, he won't admit it, but he really likes you too." He told her. "He's just too scared to say so."

Well it was good to hear that, too. A small smiled crossed her face when the dog came back into her mind. "Shall we take the dog in?"
