It was a setback, but Kai knew it wasn't the end.

He walked back to his shabby shack in the woods,

And rummaged through a series of tools and came back with what he needed:a saw!

Then he went to where the sewerage began and sawed an opening.

Looking inside he remembered his sensitivity to small places.

But he erased the sentiment from his mind and jumped in.

He landed in the shadows of a large tunnel,

Knee deep in a shallow pool of water.

The sheer stench was almost unbearable

And Kai had to tell himself not to have sensory overload.

Remembering the sequence of turns he took so that he could get back out.

At least this place would be a shelter for the rain,
外边雷声大作, 划破了寂静,
He thought as the shock of thunder outside shattered the silence.
这时他想这个地方至少 可以避雨.
When his sensor indicated that he was close, Kai slowed down.

There in the darkness was the shape of the body he was looking for.

It was his dog, King. He was dead.

King must have died instantly.

Kai separated the radio collar that shackled King's neck,

Picked up the body, and carried him home.

After burying King, Kai said a couple of sentences in his memory.

Then he headed towards town for a session of beer drinking.

There would be no sequel to their friendship,

He thought, and he wouldn't buy another dog.King had been the best.
