Chapter 6 - Chad Screams As The Rottweiler Barks In Warning
Max didn't appreciate the sudden shouting, letting out a deafening bark that shook the picture frames on the living room wall.
Chad covered his face with his hands, whimpering in terror as the massive canine leaned its full weight against his ribs.
“Quiet, Max. Heel,” Lucas commanded firmly, placing a gentle hand on the dog's thick black-and-tan shoulder.
The Rottweiler slowly backed away, keeping its watchful eyes fixed on Chad while trotting over to guard Sarah instead.
Sarah reached out a trembling hand, burying her fingers in Max’s soft fur as she tried to calm her racing heart.
“Good boy... thank you, Max,” she whispered, resting her head against the dog's warm flank.
Chad scrambled to his feet, rubbing his bruised chest and eyeing the front door as a potential route of escape.
Before he could take a single step toward the entryway, the heavy front door swung wide open with a loud crash.
Two local police officers rushed into the hallway with their hands resting on their duty holstered firearms.
