The young man backed off bit by bit, stretching out his hands protectively before him. “Good doggie, good doggie”, he repeated. Luckily for him, Bushy did not seem to be in a confrontational mood, or at least that’s what it seemed like. But still, he was berating his girlfriend under his breath for her stupid plan.

He decided to inch his way nearer the door, thinking Joan would be there in a matter of seconds.
