She got out of the car
and went inside. The man at the front
counter looked at her with curiosity.

Man:"May I help you?"

Ashley:"I need a dog."

Man:"….Well miss we shelter dogs here
so that someone can give them a home."

Ashley:"I meant I want a dog…for
protection."

Man:"Protection?"

Ashley:"Yeah. You see I live in a rough
neighberhood and my mom thought it’d be
good if I get a dog for protection."

Man:"That’s a good idea. Come on.
I’ll show you the dogs we have."

Ashley:"I need
one that’s already trained. One that is ready to attack on
command."

Man:"Okay. If you
want one like that then you can’t have people coming in and out of your house alot. Neither can
you have small children around the dog."

Ashley:"No problem. Show them to me."

Man:"Actually we only have one. Her name is Prince."

Ashley:"Where is she?"

Man:"Follow me."

Ashley followed the man behind the counter
and down a long hallway. Doors
appeared to either side of them. They
started to pass kennels with all kinds
of cats and dogs in them. All were sleeping.
The man stopped at a door
at the end of the hall.

Man:"We keep him in the back."

He opened the door revieling a spacious
room with a very high ceiling. In the
middle of the room lay a huge pitbull.
She was dark brown with a white dot on
her forehead.

Ashley:"She’s beautiful."

Man:"Yep. Too bad she’s too agrassive
to be around many people."

Ashley:"That’s fine. I don’t like being
around alot of people either."

Man:"You know you have to be an adult
to own a pitbull."

Ashley showed the man her i.d.

Man:"Well. Your close enough in age.
This girl really needs a home."

Ashley:"I’d be happy to take her."

Man:"That’s good to hear."

Ashley:"So she is trained."

Man:"Yes she is. Knows every basic
command. But if you want her to attack
then you have to say Sick’em and point
at the person. To call her off say
that’ll do."

Ashley:"Okay. So her name is-"

Man:"Prince."

Ashley:"Will she come if I call her?"

Man:"Yeah. Go ahead."

Ashley:"Prince. Come here."

The pitbull jumped up to the sound of
Ashley’s voice. She slowly walked up to
her. She was as tall as Ashley’s waist. Ashley pet her on the
head. Prince gave her a lick on the hand.

Ashley:"Good girl."

Man:"I’m glad you’ve taken interest in her. She was about to be put to sleep.
She usually doesn’t take to people
easy."

Ashley:"Where’s her leash?"

Man:"What? You were going to take her now?"

Ashley:"Yeah.
See usually my boyfriend makes sure I’m safe but he’s not here
anymore. I want to take her with me
now."

Man:"But we have to do paperwork and-"

Ashley:"Can we do that tomorrow?
Please?"

Man:"Okay. I can see your eagerness.
Just give me your name and number."

Ashley gave the man her info. The man
left the room and came back with a
collar and leash.He handed the leash to Ashley.

Ashley:"Come on Prince. We got things to do."

When Ashley pulled up outside of Spencer’s house she led Prince up the
stairs.

Ashley:"Let’s get the bitch shall we?"

She opened the door slowly. The entire
house was still dark. Voices still
came from the living room.

???:"She can’t know."

???:"She won’t."

???:"This would kill her. I feel so
dirty….take it back."

???:"No. You earned it."

???:"Give me my clothes please."

Ashley unclipped Prince’s leash. She
flipped on the living room light.

Ashley:"Lose your shirt?"

Spencr was almost completely naked except for her matching bra and undies.
Kelly was fully clothed.

Spencer:"Ashley! I-I-I-"

Ashley:"What? Wasn’t as good as you thought?….Like my new dog?"

Kelly:"Your Fucking crazy."

Ashley bent down at Prince’s eyelevel
and pointed.

Kelly:"What are you-"

Spencer:"Ashley I can explain-"

Ashley:"Sick’em."
