Jackie tried her hardest to not think. To not process what had happened to Matt. She focused on the feeling of her paws hitting the floor as they ran. Gosh she wished they could split up and search for Lucas separately, but that was a sure way to get them into trouble.
After a long stretch of nothing happening, a muscular man burst through a door and punched Clive in the side.
Patrick drew his gun, pointing it at the man.
“You make another move,” Patrick said. “Just try.”
The man made an amused smile. “This is what Seth gets for not letting more people into his confidence. He could’ve had guards at the front. More researchers in his lab. He touts his broader, larger organization, but -”
“Shut up,” Clive said, sticking the barrel of his pistol into the man. “Take us to Seth.”
“Take me to Melina first.”
“Melina?” Clive asked. “You mean the woman who kidnapped Matt and Ashley so you could do this to them?”
He gestured to the two dogs. Matt growled slightly.
“Yeah,” the man said candidly, “take me to her.”
“We didn’t see her,” Patrick said.
“Lies,” the man said, his face frowning. “You are lying. She’s not answering her phone, or anything.”
Matt barked, and began heading off down one hallway. Clive was confused for a moment, then nodded to the rest of the group to follow. They found themselves at an open door, leading into a carpeted room.
With great discomfort, Jackie realized this was where Matt and Ashley had been held. There were dog beds, food bowls… and a place to relieve themselves. It was just…. how could someone do this to other people?
Then they heard a whimper in the corner, and noticed something.
A dog. A border collie. It sat amidst discarded pieces of clothes.
“Holy sh**,” Clive whispered.
Their hostage, oblivious to the threat of being shot, ran to the dog.
“Oh God!” he yelled. “What did they do to you?”
Jackie just… couldn’t believe it. That dog… was Melina?
“You bastards!” the man yelled. “I’’ll -”
Before Clive or Patrick could even shoot, Matt pounced onto him, and bit him on the leg, just above the ankle where skin was exposed. The man screamed, but Matt held on. Jackie turned away from the uncomfortable scene.
Patrick and Clive kept their guns on him as Matt released. Matt glanced away, but then turned back to the man. He patted the man’s back pocket with a paw. Clive walked forward, and pulled out the man’s wallet, his gun still firmly pointed at the man.
“An access card,” Clive said with satisfaction. He scratched Matt behind the ears. “Good boy.”
Matt barked and wagged his tail. He did so happily, but… but for some reason seeing it made Jackie feel sick.
Clive took away a few of the man’s other things - his phone, car keys - then went to what seemed to be the remains of Melina’s clothes.
“Yep,” he said as Patrick trained his gun on the wounded man. Clive held up an ID. “Melina really became a dog.”
He shook his head in disbelief.
“I just… I just can’t believe how this happened,” Mrs. Hewitt said.
“Umm…,” Patrick said, “I think I might have an idea.”
They looked to the man as he clutched his wound. He had taken off his shirt and held it against the bite to hold back the blood. But something strange was happening. White and black hairs were growing on his arms. Then on his chest.
“I’m going to get you all for this,” he said. “Especially for what you’ve done to Melina. Her life collapsed all around her, and you treated her like dog sh*t. I hope you’re happy.”
Matt whimpered slightly, backing away. Ashley did too. It was obvious then, that the two had been behind Melina’s change as well. Jackie knelt down to them.
“They kidnapped you,” Jackie said. “They did this to you. They do not deserve your remorse.”
Matt swallowed, and slowly nodded.
The man suddenly let out a guttural cry of pain, causing Jackie’s ears to perk straight up in fright. His face began cracking, pushing out, forming a snout on the end. His ears began changing as well.
“Oh my gosh!” Mrs. Hewitt said, “how on Earth is it happening so fast?”
It was horrible. Like something Jackie had seen in a hundred-year old monster movie.
“I don’t know,” Clive said, “forget him, we need to keep moving, especially if he’s alerted Seth.”
The group left the room, Patrick taking the rear and keeping his gun pointed at the man, then slamming the door. But then, as Jackie glanced back, the man was able to open the door, before collapsing.
“Leave him,” Clive told Patrick. “I got his and Melina’s guns.”
Clive turned to Jackie as they went up some stairs.
“You know how to use a gun?”
“I… I’m… well…”
“Okay,” Clive said, “doesn’t matter. I’ll carry the extra.”
After their long search down one wing of the building, they finally on the second floor found what they were looking for - a hallway blocked by a door that required a keycard. Clive scanned it, and they were able to get in. There was the sound of someone talking in the second door to their right, and they went inside.
“Ah, you’re back,” Seth said, his back turned. “So what was the…”
He turned around and realized that he had not been talking to his lackey. They were in a lab - by the looks of it one that had been used as a classroom, back when this was used by a university.
“Well… f***,* Seth said. “I suppose this is what I get for not taking the time to learn how to use the security system.”
Jackie didn’t much care for what Seth was saying - she was focused on the fact that Lucas was handcuffed to a metal post near Seth. He looked in their direction, and made a small smile.
“We’re done here Seth,” Clive said, pointing his gun.
“Ah, Clive,” Seth said, “it’s been a long time. And Patrick, you finally got out of your job in Generation’s security - well obviously we all got out of that company one way or another. Not all of us went up in the world though, I see.”
“Can it,” Patrick said, his own gun pointed firmly at Seth. “You know that both of us will shoot.”
“Of course,” Seth said. “You have me. What do you want with me?”
“Release Lucas,” Clive said.
Seth snorted in derision. “Awfully rude of you all to go back on our agreement.”
“You turned my children into dogs,” Mrs. Hewitt said.
“Ah,” Seth said, “it’s been a while since I’ve seen you Meagan. DIdn’t recognize you, what with the deformities and all. Surprising to me that you’d be so upset when your children actually look more correct now than they did a week ago.”
“You’re a sick man Seth.”
“Everyone is so hostile,” he said. “I’ve done bad things, yes, I don’t deny that. But because of the contributions of your children, I’ve gained more from this research than I would’ve from a decade of going through ‘proper’ channels.”
“You were just like this before Seth,” Mrs. Hewitt said. “You spoke at length about making great advances, but for what? We learn in science, we develop technology so we can help people. You however are a sick monster who think it’s funny turning someone into an animal.”
“You,” Seth said, “do not know my mind. I do want to help people - but I want to help billions of them. We’ve long held the power to cure some of the worst afflictions known to humanity but have been too afraid to do so. Someone needs to break through. Someone needs to show that it can be done - I don’t even care if I go to jail, as long as this research leads somewhere. But all of you… you will hide this from the world. Hide that somehow, your family and some others with the virus are different.”
He crossed his legs, seeming completely relaxed. “And I’m so close to figuring out why.”
“You just want my husband as your guinea pig.”
“I thought that’s what we agreed to?” he asked. “Despite the fact that you have broken into my lab, I’ll even let you take your children.”
“And then you’re going to turn Lucas into a dog too,” Mrs Hewitt seethed. “What is your plan exactly? Are you seriously going to write some research paper on how you turned some people into dogs?”
Jackie was growing more and more on edge. Seth however, seemed far too relaxed as the rest of them seemed to grow more furious. Why were they letting him go on and on?
Jackie suddenly found a gun pressed into her hands by Mrs. Hewitt. She didn’t look down at Jackie, simply stared straight at Seth. It was then that Jackie realized she’d been hidden behind a cabinet from Seth’s view. She crouched down, and slowly began sneaking around the lab counters.
“They already had the agent in them that allowed it to occur,” Seth said. “I was simply trying to cure them, on their request, when this regrettable outcome occurred.”
“You’re an idiot,” Clive said, “if you think that’s plausible deniability.”
“It is ambiguous,” Seth said, “which is all that I require. As I said, I simply want to give the boulder a push down the hill. If I end up in prison, so be it. All that matters to me is that people aren’t so put off by these discoveries that they refuse to ever again engage in this research.”
“You’ve made your case,” Clive said, “now I’ll make mine. I have a gun pointed at you, and it’ll be hard for you to fulfill your dreams if you’re dead.”
Seth laughed as Jackie drew closer to the aisle at the back of the room he was in. Gosh she hated him.
“But I didn’t say ‘I rest my case’, now did I?” Seth said. “My case in this situation - you want Lucas. I want you to cut your losses and leave.”
“And again,” Clive said, “I have the gun in this situation.”
Jackie was close enough now to see a dark, wicked smile grow on Seth’s face.
“And in this situation,” Seth said, “I have the true threat.”
He raised a phone from where it was concealed in his pocket, his thumb hovering near the screen.
“Right now, at any moment,” he said, “I can send a signal to the collars those two dogs are wearing. In those collars is one small battery - but one that is strong enough to deliver a lethal electric charge.”
Everyone was silent.
“Maybe eventually,” he went on, “if I feel generous - like say, a year or so from now, I’ll give you your husband back. Maybe he’ll even be a human again - a real, normal human. But if you shoot me now, I will kill your children. Do you understand?”
Jackie shot Seth in the wrist, and he cried out in pain. She had aimed for the phone itself, but it had been a long time since those hunting trips with her Dad when she’d been younger.
Clive rushed for Seth, but Seth knew enough to run. He pushed past Jackie, then struggled to simultaneously turn the door handle, and transfer his phone to his uninjured right hand.
And Jackie’s heart beat in slow motion. Seth pressed the button on the screen.
****
I came loose of the collar just in time, as I heard it emanate a loud buzz. Knowing Mom had gotten Ashley’s off too, I had no other thought in my mind but attack. This man had hurt my family so much. I jumped onto him as he went out the door. We both came down onto the carpet, and he kicked me before I could bite him.
He got through the keycard door that connected to the rest of the facility, and I barely wriggled through after him. I kept running, running… chasing him… but I was so tired.
I wanted to attack this bad, mean man… but I wanted to rest. I wanted to just sleep. I was so tired, and had felt so upset. But now… now these people were here. They were good people… people I liked.
And… one thing I wanted for good people. One last thing.
I ran back to room with good people, into corner where there was human clothes. I barked and barked again. I found some human clothes… had I worn them? I couldn’t have. I was a dog, not a human.
Why… why was I interested in these clothes. What had I wanted? The weird tall dog man pulled something out of them. A tiny black thing. It made him very happy. I remembered… that the tall dog weird dog man was my Dad… and the tall weird dog woman was my Mom… but… was I dog? I… I couldn’t remember.
I whimpered. I was tired. Why strange bad thoughts in my mind? I no like these thoughts. I want to sleep.
The girl dog that’s like a human, Jackie, comes to me. She is nice. I like her. I happy. They sad. I like her because… because I love her. She… she is my girlfriend.
I whimper. Weird thoughts, thoughts too complex.
Jackie kisses my nose. She says something. Something… something about loving me… forever. Me lick her face. Me… me miss her.
Why me miss her? She here. No, me miss her because me now dog. Me not same as her.
Weird thoughts, weird hard thoughts. Thinks too hard!
Weird thinks go away.
Me feel happy now. Me wag tail. Weird dog girl, weird dog man and woman hug me, and hug girl dog. They sad. Me feel sad too. Why me sad? Me with good people. Good people nice, not like mean man. Me happy.
Me happy dog.

You think the ending is gonna be some crazy intense thing, but instead it's "Me happy dog." LOL
Man, I wonder what anthros, dogs, and humans running down the hall with guns would look like- probably pretty funny! Also I know Seth is crazy, but some of the stuff he claims to be trying to accomplish actually sounds pretty great!
Okay enough crazy person ramblings, keep up the good work!

I'm glad that I'm accomplishing what I intended with Seth - obviously everyone can see how awesome it would be to have debilitating diseases cured - but it requires careful planning, and as should be obvious - informed consent from those being tested.
I am content with Seth, but hope to make future villains much more powerful. Seth is me testing out what I think to be the scariest of villains.
He doesn't care if he goes to prison. He probably doesn't even care if he eventually gets shot. All he wants is to accomplish his plan, and will sacrifice anything to get there.
