No,it wasn’t right. And Maya had to do something. She had to help the dogs. But what could she do with Matthieu watching her every movement?
Shit. This was going to be difficult.
Millie:I’m going to get them out.
No.Nope! She couldn’t let Millie do that on her own. She was going to get into trouble.
Livvy:Millie! You cannot do anything on your own.
Millie:I need to save these babies. Obviously David has been using the ones in the best shape, but some of these puppies are crying.
Shit.Maya totally understood Millie’s feelings. She couldn’t stand the idea of these animals being hurt or mistreated.
So what are you going to do? Sneak away? That’s not right, either.
Stuff it.
She was just going to have to take Matthieu with her.
Maya:Don’t do anything yet. Are there close neighbors? Where are you exactly?
Millie senta pin to show her location. Right. That wasn’t actually that far from here.
Millie:There are neighbors, but one house looks abandoned and I saw an old, elderly man in the other house.
Maya:All right. You need to wait for me. I’m coming.
Livvy:How are you going to do that? You can’t sneak away from Matthieu.
Maya:I’m not going to. Just wait for me, Millie. Do not do anything without me.
Millie:All right, I’ll wait.
Thank God for that.
Livvy:Good luck. Keep me informed.
Right.Maya knew that she didn’t have time to figure out a plan or a lie. She just had to get this done.
“We’ve gotta go!”Maya ran through the house.
Matthieu reached out an arm and grabbed her around the waist as she attempted to run past him. For some reason she’d changed and was now dressed all in black. “Go? Go where?”
“We have to go! There’s an emergency.”
“We’re not going anywhere until you explain what sort of emergency.”
“An animal emergency,” she said urgently.
“An animal emergency?” What the heck?
“Look, I don’t have time to explain right now, but we have to go.”
He stared down at her, his arms crossed over his chest.
“Doggie lives depend on us!”
“Maya, I’m not taking you into an unknown situation. You need to tell me what is going on.”
