Chapter Four

Bino crept through the forest, his paws silent against the

dense undergrowth.  He hadn't been able

to pass police academy with Fido, but he'd still come away with a few useful

skills.  He held his bow at the ready in

one paw, his other paw hovering over his shoulder, ready to draw an arrow at a

moment's notice.

He grinned with sadistic pleasure.  Those idiots had no idea who they were

dealing with.  They might as well just

give up now.

A faint noise came from the distance.  Bino froze, cocking his head to the

side.  Pawsteps, and they were coming in

his general direction.  They belonged to

a small dog, too, if he was right.  So,

it was either King or Peanut's freaky girlfriend.  Frankly, he didn't care which.  Killing either of them would be fun.

Bino skillfully drew and arrow an knocked it before

stealthily making his way towards the noise. 

Every few steps, he paused and listened to judge the other dog's

position.  Finally, put his back to a

nearby tree and peeked his head around.

The Pomeranian came into view, not even thirty feet

away.  She was unarmed.  Probably because she was too scared to take

anything from the big cone.  And best of

all, she was completely unaware of his presence.  He didn't move, though.  He was savoring the moment.

A cry came from the distance, and Tarot's ears perked

up.  She turned to face the direction the

sound had come from, effectively putting her back to Bino.  Bino grinned, knowing his moment had come.  He spun around, coming out from behind the

tree, and pulled the arrow back in his bow. 

Tarot heard him and turned just in time to see him release the arrow.  It shot through the air with a high pitched

whistle before striking the little dog square in the chest.  With a gasp of fright, if not some pain,

Tarot staggered back a few steps before falling to the ground.

"Ha, gotcha you stupid little runt!" Bino cackled, doing an

impromptu jig of victory.

Then, before his eyes, Tarot's body dissipated into a cloud

of smoke, leaving nothing behind.  Bino

blinked in surprise.  In the distance, a

loud boom rang out, and Tarot's face appeared in the sky, the word "Deceased"

underneath it.  Bino grinned and clenched

his fist in eager anticipation of meeting the other players.

This game was as good as his!
