Chapter 127: The Duke
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Secretariat Building, 3rd floor, room 316.
Not a small space, at least fifty square meters, originally an office, now some office furniture has been removed, some cabinets have been placed flat in the corners, put together with some changes, spread on the blanket sheets, it becomes a bed, this room has a total of four such beds, respectively in the four corners, above are hung movable curtains, so that there will be some privacy space when sleeping at night.
There are two windows next to the corridor in the room, but they are all closed, and blocked by blinds, the outside can not see the inside, the inside naturally cannot see the outside, on the north wall of this room, there is a door near the window, inside the door is a small office, of course, it has now been changed into a bedroom, less than 20 square meters of space is placed a large bed, and cabinets and other furnishings, very simple, but the layout is very warm, the sheets are pink, it looks like a girl is arranged.
This is the room that Maniela and others are now in after they arrived at the United Nations headquarters and changed rooms with people, which was originally an office, but now it has been converted into a suite, and when they sleep these nights, it is Maniela and Christine and Kelly who sleep in the inner room, because the bed inside is very large, so there will be no problem of not being able to sleep, and John, Robbie, Basson, and Laura sleep in the outside room, just four beds.
The combined area of the two rooms is less than 70 square meters, and there are many furnishings in the room, and some desks have not been moved out, but there are seven people living in them, which is still very crowded, but in the last days, it is not easy to survive, and it is even more difficult to find a place to sleep peacefully, and no one will force anything.
At this time, there were only two people in the small suite inside, Christine and Kellyti.
Kelly didn't dare to talk to Tang Ji and the others for the first time, and for a long time afterward, she dared to tell Jonn that it was a mental illness and it was difficult to treat, but Jason had always insisted on enlightening her, although the effect had been very weak, but Jason still insisted.
And just half a month ago, when everyone was besieged in the subway station, Kelly spoke, it was an accident, because that day a dirty puppy ran out of the tunnel, because the zombie dog has always made people have a shadow, so Kelly was frightened, at that time only Jason was by Kellyti's side, the timid Kelly hid behind Jason, and said something scared.
Since that day, Kelly has dared to speak to anyone other than Jon, although it always feels soft and quiet, but this is the beginning, she spoke to Jason first, and then Christine, who belongs to her age...... In half a month, she has spoken to everyone, and the situation has been much better.
In the room, Christine was lying lazily on the bed, holding the pillow and moving over and over, looking a little anxious.
Kelly sat on the edge of the bed, looked down at her, and squatted at her feet with a German Shepherd, this is the one that scared her that day, and it is also the one that Maniela talked about on the walkie-talkie with Tangji, this German Shepherd is still a minor, with a shoulder height of about fifty-five centimeters, and an estimated weight of twenty kilograms, it is estimated that it is only ** months old, of course, it may be taller, at most no more than one year old.
German Shepherd generally reaches one and a half years old body is basically not long, of course, there are exceptions, to the age of two years before the body stops growing, but this does not mean that he is really an adult, some people often say that one and a half or two years old German shepherd is an adult German herd, in fact, this is a wrong statement, the general veterinarian or animal trainer understands, from all aspects of the comprehensive, German shepherd to three years old is considered a real adult, because the three-year-old German shepherd will really set the surname, the mind is fully mature.
German shepherd is a large dog, some people say that German shepherd is very dangerous, in fact, the danger surname is, but it is not so exaggerated, German shepherd is not a fighting dog, it is famous all over the world, because of its natural obedience to the surname and high IQ, after receiving human training, German shepherd can have some other dogs are difficult to have the quality, before the end of the world, in general, police dogs, search and rescue dogs, guide dogs have been German shepherds.
This Demu has not grown up, has not yet revealed the fierce surname, honestly squatting on the ground, the body is very clean, the hair is combed very neatly, looks docile and well-behaved, looking up at Kellyti, the eyes look very godly, Kelly is reaching out to touch the hair on its head and ears, this Demu's left ear is a little special, there is a gap the size of half a fingernail, it should not have been made recently, because there are no traces of scabs or healed scars near the gap, but they are all fine fluff, It looks like it was supposed to be like that at birth.
Originally, Kelly was the most timid person here, and she was frightened by this dog, but now she is the one who likes this dog the most, because she had a dog before the end of the world, and died on the day of the outbreak of the end times, there are many dog lovers in Americans, and she is obviously one of them.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door outside, not from the door of this room, but from the door of the outside room against the hallway, which sounded very quiet in the inner room.
Christine and Kelly, who were in the inner room, heard the voice, and the sound of Laura talking to someone came from behind, and within a minute, Laura opened the door and walked to the inner room, looked at the two girls in the room, and said hesitantly: "The woman who lives in the opposite room came and said, the dog seems to be hers, let's take it out to see." Laura spoke, her eyes looking at Kelly, a little worried.
She is kind-hearted, and she has been with Kelly for so long, she must have feelings, she knows Kellyti's condition, better, but not completely, now she still doesn't dare to speak too loudly, Laura is distressed Kellyti, she knows that Kelly likes this dog very much, and spends most of her time every day with this dog, quietly accompanying, petting, and not talking, Laura is a little afraid now, afraid that if this dog is really the person outside, if that dog must be returned to others, the impact on Kelly must be great, You may find something wrong.
As Laura thought, after she finished speaking, Kellyti's face changed slightly, her mouth pursed, and she sat motionless on the bed.
"Child, if it's someone else's, you want to return it to someone else, and it's not sure yet, so you have to take it out to see." Laura walked over to Kelly and sat down, reassuring.
"I'm not going." Kelly whispered, slowly shaking her head, she looked at the little German Mu at her feet, the dog also looked at her, looking at each other, Kellyti's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
She was just too vulnerable.
"I'll take a look." Christine, who had been watching the situation, rolled over and got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and began to put on her shoes, and after getting everything done, she brushed her hair, waved at Xiao Demu, and shouted, "Duke, here."
Duke, the new name of this German pastor, was given by Christine, which is a very common dog name in the United States, with a good meaning, with an aristocratic style, many people like to name their dogs after it.
Hearing Christine's shout, the duke, who was sitting at Kellyti's feet, stood up at once, turned his head to look at Christine, but did not walk over.
"Come on, Duke."
Smack!
Christine called again, clapped her hands again, this German pastor moved, as if happy, ran to Christine's side, it seemed to think that Christine was going to play with it, after all, it was still young, and it didn't seem to have received professional training, and it was estimated that in addition to eating and sleeping, there was only play left in his mind.
Christine's left hand was lowered, and her fingers kept moving, which attracted the Duke, who kept looking down at it and led it out of the bedroom.
Reaching the door of the outer room, Christine crouched down and stroked the Duke a few times, causing it to crouch on the ground, and then opened the door.
"Hi, there, I'm Fina." At the door stood a woman of about forty years old, white, short-haired, average-looking, very plump, a little short, very in line with the temperament of a housewife, saw Christine open the door, and immediately greeted warmly.
"Hello, I'm Christine." Christine greeted with a blank face, because of Kellyti, she didn't want anyone to take the dog away, so her tone was a little stiff.
Of course, it's not just because of Kellyti, Christine herself likes the Duke very much, it's just not as deep and pure as Kelly likes.
"Hey Sam, here, come to Mommy." After Christine finished speaking, Fina crouched down and clapped her hands to call out to the Duke.
The Duke squatted on the ground, his paw was scratching on his face, and it seemed to be a little itchy, and when he heard Fina's cry, he immediately put the paw down, and stood up from the ground at once, and reacted very quickly.
Sam, it seems, is its original name, otherwise it wouldn't have reacted so sensitively.
Christine covered her forehead, showed a "terrible" expression, and said in her heart: "It's over." She saw the Duke stand up and run towards Fina.
Not very far away, two or three meters, the duke jumped up and down to Fina, circled around Fina twice, seemed happy, and then ...... Ran back to Christine.
Christine's expression froze, and the hand covering her forehead slowly lowered.
"Sam, baby, come to Mommy, we're home, come here." Fina squatted on the ground, and when she saw the duke running back, her face changed slightly, and she clapped her hands again and called.
The Duke crouched at Christine's feet, looked left and right, and did not pass.
The woman's face changed again, she quietly glanced up at Christine, looking uneasy, but met Christine's eyes, she immediately lowered her head to look at the duke, stood up and was about to walk into the room, and bent down again, as if trying to pick up the dog, Christine flashed and blocked her out of the door.
Holding her shoulders, Christine frowned at the woman.
Christine understands that this woman must know the duke, because the features on the duke's ears are obvious, so even if it grows up a little more in this month, it can be easily recognized, but this does not mean that this woman is its owner, just like Christine knows the name of the dog of her neighbor before the end of the world, this woman may be the neighbor of the dog owner, may be a friend of the dog owner, and so on, it seems that it is not a difficult thing to know the name of a dog.
The reason why Christine thought this right away was because she didn't want Fina to take the dog away, so she had been watching carefully, and therefore saw that there was a problem, the Duke must know this woman, but it was only that, it heard the call and ran over, which didn't say much, it only proved that the Duke's original name was Sam, because it ran back later.
The duke's age is not big, but it is not small, it is impossible to be like a puppy that has just been born for a month or two, and has forgotten its owner for a long time, if a dog really sees its long-lost owner, then its reaction is simply impossible to run over and run back after a circle, and if Fina is really its owner, then the duke's last action should be to pounce on her and lick her.
The United States is one of the countries with the most pet dogs, pet dogs can be seen everywhere, although Christine has never had a dog herself, because she is afraid of causing allergic reactions, but she has never eaten pork must have seen a pig run, she has not seen the enthusiasm of dogs for their owners, and her friends before the end of the world have dogs.
These are the problems found in the Duke's reaction, and Fina, too.
Although Christine is only seventeen years old, she is much more mature than her peers, and where there are so-called people, there are disputes, whether it is a school, a company, or a political axe agency, disputes are inevitable, and of course the same is true in high school, and as a former high school prom queen, Christine in addition to her excellent appearance, she naturally has a fairly smart head.
After all, she can't be the only beautiful girl in the entire high school, but there is only one high school prom queen at a time, and a stupid girl, no matter how beautiful she is, can't become a prom queen, because she will let those girls who are smarter than her out of the game.
So the smart Christine saw a lot of problems, Fina opened the door to say hello first, which came down to politeness, but Christine didn't see the joy of reuniting with the dog on her face, and her face changed twice, and she secretly looked at Christine, and met Christine's gaze but immediately lowered her head, and her face did not look sad or sad because the duke did not pass, but was a little nervous, which was obviously a weak heart.
"What are you doing? This is my dog and I'm going to take it with me. Seeing Christine blocking the door, Fina suddenly became anxious, and did not explain anything, but shouted loudly and unusually.
"It's not your dog, you can't fool me." Christine looked at Fina and said in a stiff tone, she could still hear some ridicule, she seemed to have found the feeling of "bullying" a female classmate who was against her at school.
"This is my dog, get out of the way......" Fina shouted again, a little angry.
"Hey, what's going on with Fina?"
Before Fina could finish speaking, diagonally opposite the room, the door of 317 suddenly opened, and a tall white man in his thirties walked out, Zou Mei asked, he seemed to be attracted by the shout, and just after he came out, four more men came out of the room.
Christine's face changed slightly, and she felt it all of a sudden, it seemed to be premeditated, and the other party was obviously not good.
She took a step back and was about to close the door, but Fina reached out and pressed the door down.
At the same time, due to the sound of the quarrel, some of the armed guards on this floor began to run towards the door of Room 316.
