Apollo The Wonder Dog

Detective Mac Taylor and Danny Messer entered the run down small apartment. A middle aged man lye in the middle of the floor, knife in the center of his chest. The pool of blood that surrounded him on the carpeted floor, slowly drying.

"Looks like this is going to be an easy case." Danny assumed as he took a quick look at the knife. "We got prints on the handle." He lifted the camera to his face and started taking pictures as his boss processed the scene.

Finding a few fibers and blood drops(thought to be the killers), Mac moved on to questioning the now calm wife. She sat in the corner of the room, facing away from the body. As he approached, he noticed a little puppy in the next room, little red and brown thing playing with a worn out blue towel.

"Hello, I'm detective Mac Taylor, can i ask you a few questions?" He asked the shaking woman in front of him.

"Uhh, yea, i guess." She said, nerves.

As Mac asked the woman the questions, she kept peering over Mac's shoulder, into the other room. Mac figured she was just checking on the puppy.

He finished up with Danny and helped pack up the evidence when he was done with the wife. As he started to make his way to the front door, the woman jumped infront of him, blocking his way out and scaring him in the process.

"Detective, i'm sorry, i was just wondering if we could talk... alone." She looked over her shoulder at Danny. He stopped in his tracks at the sound of Mac's gasp. Looking at the woman with eyes that say You touch him and your going away for a loooong time. That scared the woman, she had tears in her eyes that pleaded Mac along with her voice.

"Sure." He said, nodding at Danny. "wait in the car." He told him. Danny left with a quick nod and watched over his shoulder as Mac turned around to close the door.

"Detective," She started as she picked up the puppy. "The one thing in this world that i love more then my husband... is this dog. He's 12 weeks old, pure bred Doberman. I cant keep him though. He is too much for me and with out Mike(Her husband) I wouldn't be able to control him when he grows up. You look like the type that need's a good dog in his life." She said with a weak smile on her face. Mac shook his head, he never thought of having a dog, hes not the dog type. "Then maybe someone special might like him... As a Christmas gift. Just please, take care of him." She handed him the little puppy, turned around and walked away.

What am i going to do with a dog? He asked himself. Remembering Danny was waiting for him, he went out the front door as the puppy chewed on his fingertips.

"Why do you have a dog?" Danny asked as Mac opened the passenger door of the car and climbed in.

"I don't know Danny. You think Stella would like him?" He asked his friend as he lifted up the puppy to view his cute little red face and brown markings. He was cute, but Mac wasn't the dog type.

"I think Stella would love him!" Danny said ecstatic, he wanted them to get together for years. Maybe nows the time.

"I'll give you the rest of the day off if you watch him while im at work, just till the Christmas party tonight." Mac said, the puppy was falling asleep in his lap, he looked like a little baby. "And don't tell Stella." He quickly added.

"Sure, he doesn't look like much trouble. I'll drop you at the lab."

The traffic was moving slowly as they made their stop in front of the building. Mac got out onto the sidewalk and laid the puppy down on the warm front seat as he closed the door. He opened the back door to get the evidence bags only to find the puppy standing on the back seat, tail waging. He looked at Danny with a confused face as he quickly grabbed the bags and closed the door. Making his way to the glass doors, he could hear the puppy whining and crying.

Mac made his way to his office after dropping the evidence off at the lab to have Adam process them. He sat at his desk, working on paper work for the rest of shift.
