407 Words
Logan came upon the next street corner. he made a right, planning on doubling back but was instead met by a grinning Thomas. 'You should go back,' Thomas advised his friend. Logan threw his hands in front of him, shocked. his eyes enlarged and his mouth parted. He shuttered, 'W-w-whoa... H-how'd you...' His head twisted from left to right as a few cars passed by. he stood erect and then slightly hunched over. he shuffled his shoulders and jerked his hands around a bit, tried to juke his friend, not fully comprehending how he'd appeared right out of the blue. 'What are you talking about?' he asked, still hopping around on the sidewalk. 'Wanna be the hero don't ya?' Thomas asked, not even trying to stop his friend from going around him. In fact, he'd placed his hands in his pockets and laughed out loud. 'Really...' he said with a jerk of the neck and a rising of his lip. he took a step back. 'You should get back there before the police find him first.' Logan stopped popping around but maintained a high school wrestling pose. 'What'd ya do, Thomas?' 'Nothing really... just a little inspirational technique...' 'What?' 'Come on Logan, stand up straight.' Thomas made a quick observation of the surrounding area. 'Don't let this chance to become a hero slip away. Just go back, flag the cops down and you're in there man...' Logan stared into his friend's eyes. Thomas's eyes were stern and clear. Logan saw no deception. He stood straight, looked back and then took a step as the sirens grew near. Thomas said, 'Times a ticking buddy. You'd better hurry.' 'What am I supposed to do now?' Logan asked, winded from the run. 'Liked I said, you'll have to prove that you can make sacrifices.' What could he do? he'd Known Thomas all this long and he'd hadn't fettered him in any negative way before. Yet he'd always had the answers. He'd always been on his side. Turning him into the dog helped him to be there when Pamela was in trouble with her father. Because of that magical feat he'd been able to help her out in a way that he couldn't have if he were in his human form. He thought of this in less time than it took him to turn back and be a hero. But now he would have to live with this secret as well as the one about saving Pamela's life. So Logan ran back to where Ponytail lay in the alley.
