Hello, guys. I am going back with the continuation of Balto: Human Understending, this is the second part of this story.

The long break between parts is results from this that I wanted to plan better this part.

Anyway, I hope you like this part. End of my talk, I invite you to read.

Since the last time Daniel was in Nome, it took some time. A lot has changed.

It was Winter, it was soon to be Christmas, Daniel wanted to come to the Brown family and his friend Balto.

The train pulled into the station late in the evening, it was already dark. Nobody knew about Daniel's arrival in Nome because Daniel wanted it to be a surprise.

It was quite cold. Daniel took his big backpack and put it on his back, he decided to go find his family to have a place to sleep.

The search turned out to be ineffective. Daniel got lost in Nome which has changed a lot since his last stay.

...

Daniel, after a long wander, was at the back of the butcher's shop.

Daniel heard a noise. Around the corner, Daniel heard the falling dumpster.

He did not know who it was, but he hoped it was someone he knew.

...

It was dark in the street, the only light is coming out from under the door of the building that was near Daniel.

The dog approaching Daniel was lost in thought. The dog suddenly stopped in the light emanating from under the door. Daniel saw the white paws.

"Steele ?!" Daniel shouted.

The dog jumped in surprise and pushed Daniel, who fell to the ground.

"Ahh, what's wrong with you?" Daniel asked.

"Woah, what did I do? I thought it was the store owner ... once I took some sausages and he hates me." Kodi thought.

Kodi stepped back a little and lowered his head to show he was sorry. Daniel started to rise from the ground, but he fell back.

"Ahh, my leg! It hurts terribly!" Daniel shouted.

It was very late Daniel could not walk. Kodi came closer to Daniel and touched him with his nose, he was cold.

Kodi saw the boy's face for the first time, he knew who it was. Kodi remembered him from childhood, he remembered his skill and that he was friend with his father.

The red dog knew that he could not leave the boy because he would freeze to death. He could not let it, because he knew how much that boy meant to Balto. He decided to take Daniel with him.

Kodi took the boy on his back and walked towards the building where he lived.

...

Kodi entered the bulding alone.

"Kodi you've finally come back." Dusty say.

"Guys, I have a problem." Kodi said.

"What problem?" Ralph asked.

"I need to bring someone here, but please do not talk to him because he understands everything we say. I mean it." Kodi said.

"Ok, if you like." Ralph said.

Kodi left the room and returned with the boy and fell under his weight.

Everyone was surprised, they thought it would be a dog.

Kodi quickly grabbed the blanket and covered the boy shivering from the cold.

Dusty hit the bowl and showed Kodi to come over.

"Kodi who and why did you say that he understands us, it's a kid." Dusty said surprised.

"You can believe me that he understands us." Kodi answered.

"Ok I believe you." Dusty replied confused.

Kodi returned to Daniel, lay down on him to heat him. That night the atmosphere was strange, no one spoke loudly, everyone whispered. Kodi did not know what to do, but he knew he had to take care of the boy and he could not let Balto find out, Kodi was very keen on recognition in his father's eyes.

Kodi fell asleep. He had to sleep before tomorrow's run.

To be continued...
